Douluo Continent: Starting with the Fire-Breathing Dragon Martial Soul!

Lin Mo was extremely satisfied with his gains in the Soul Hunter Forest; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had amassed a fortune.

Not only did he help the little fire dragon obtain a suitable second soul ring, but by a twist of fate, he also managed to acquire an external soul bone for himself.

Especially rare is the Crimson Heart, a type of external soul bone with a heart-shaped core.

Soul bones, in essence, are special energy crystals produced by soul beasts that can be absorbed by soul masters, but in most cases they appear in the form of bones.

There are also a few other examples.

For example, the Evil Eye clan can produce a special external soul bone called the Evil Eye. Ten thousand years later, when Huo Yuhao killed the Evil Eye Tyrant, he obtained such a special external soul bone from the Evil Eye Tyrant.

The external soul bone Crimson Blood Heart that Lin Mo obtained, like the Evil Eye, is very special and provides a significant boost to his abilities.

Furthermore, the biggest difference between external soul bones and regular soul bones is that they can evolve along with the growth of the soul master.

For the same reason, if possible, it's best to obtain external soul bones as early as possible.

Under the influence of the Crimson Heart, the original martial soul successfully underwent an upgrade, transforming from a single heart and blood into the five internal organs.

Moreover, this also confirmed his previous conjecture: absorbing suitable spirit rings and spirit bones can indeed bring a significant boost to one's own martial spirit.

The Crimson Heart is the best example.

This soul bone is extremely compatible with his original martial soul, and the soul skill attached to the Crimson Blood Heart is Blood Qi Control.

The specific effect of the soul skill is to greatly increase the upper limit of blood and qi that the current martial soul can contain. Simply put, the blood and qi power in his body has more than doubled compared to before.

This is why Ye Linyuan exclaimed so much when he examined his body earlier; the sheer power of his blood and qi alone was enough to rival that of a four-ring Soul Master.

Moreover, in addition to passively increasing his blood energy limit, the Blood Energy Control also granted him the ability to control the release of blood energy ahead of time.

This explains why the self-created soul skill "Blood Burst," which had been stuck in the first stage for a long time, suddenly broke through to the second stage, "Burning Heart," after absorbing the external soul bone.

If the first-order Boiling Blood was a one-sided enhancement, then entering the second-order Burning Heart greatly enhanced Lin Mo's combat power.

The simplest way to use the ability to release blood energy is to consume blood energy to create a weapon formed from it.

The strength of a weapon is directly proportional to the amount of vital energy it consumes.

Based on Lin Mo's tests over the past two days since returning from the Soul Hunter Forest, the most convenient method he currently uses is still the Blood Spear, which allows for ranged attacks.

Furthermore, the tip of the Blood Spear can be imbued with the dragonfire of a small dragon to further enhance its power.

However, besides the blood gun, what pleased him most was another method of use that had begun to show promise after two days of research.

That is blood and qi transforming into wings.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo, in the clinic room, subconsciously mobilized the power of his internal energy to construct a pair of bat-wing-like wings on his back.

Soon, a look of joy appeared on Lin Mo's face, and the blood wings on his back slowly flapped, allowing him to float up in the room.

This is called Blood Qi Transformation Wings, which can create a pair of wings on the back that can be used for flight by consuming a large amount of blood and qi.

However, the requirements for consuming and controlling one's Qi and blood are quite exaggerated.

If this continues for too long, the excessive consumption of vital energy will cause him to fall into a state of weakness.

Just like overusing boiling blood.

The consumption of Qi and Blood is far more exaggerated than that of constructing a Blood Spear.

Without the Crimson Heart greatly increasing the upper limit of blood energy, even if Lin Mo could control the release of blood energy to the current level of precision, it would be difficult to transform blood energy into wings.

Make bricks without straw.

Just as Lin Mo was slowly descending with the Bloodwing, a slightly urgent knocking sound came from outside the room.

Soon, that familiar, cool voice rang out from outside the room; it was Ye Lingling.

"Lin Mo, are you ready? Grandpa said he'd go to the academy with you today to help you take care of things there."

"Coming right now!" Lin Mo shouted at the top of his lungs to cover up the noise inside the room.

He then quickly transformed the blood wings on his back into vital energy and retracted them back into his body.

He pushed open the door and saw Ye Lingling in the doorway. "Has Master finished his work these past two days?"

"Yeah, I worked overtime, but I'm finally done." Ye Lingling nodded, her voice as calm as ever, but you could hear a slight emotional fluctuation in it.

This time it seems a bit like... schadenfreude?

Lin Mo scratched his head. "This time, in order to take me to the Soul Hunting Forest, the round trip and the time spent there were quite a bit."

The clinic has accumulated a large number of patients...

"Then come with me."

Ye Lingling turned around, leaving Lin Mu with only her beautiful back view, and led the way for him.

……

Office of the Dean of Students, Tian Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy.

Director Xue's face, which usually carried a certain air of authority, now showed a relieved and relaxed expression.

Upon seeing the three, he quickly stepped forward, his gaze first falling on Lin Mo, then turning to Ye Linyuan, and respectfully bowing.

"Old Master Ye, you've finally brought him back! If you hadn't shown up, I would have gone to the clinic myself to demand his return!"

This kid disappeared without a word for so many days, I thought he'd been kidnapped by some ignorant force!

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo showed a hint of apology on his face and stepped forward, "Director Xue, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Xue Sheng glared at him irritably, then couldn't help but look at Ye Linyuan with curiosity, her tone softening: "Elder Ye, what's going on...?"

Ye Linyuan stroked his beard and chuckled, "I found him agreeable, so I took him out for some training."

"What, Xue kid? Do I need to report to you beforehand if I take my men out for a walk?"

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Xue Sheng quickly waved his hand, a smile appearing on his face. "You're too kind, sir."

But Lin Mo is, after all, a student of the academy, and his sudden disappearance inevitably makes me, as the director, anxious.

Since you took it away, I'm relieved.

Seeing Xue Sheng's respectful yet familiar attitude towards Ye Linyuan, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel curious and asked:

"Director Xue, you and Elder Ye... you know each other?"

Upon hearing this, Xue Sheng's face showed a look of reminiscence, and he nodded: "It's more than just knowing each other. Back then, my martial soul was the Snow Lotus. Although I came from a collateral branch of the royal family, I also encountered bottlenecks in my cultivation."

At that time, I was fortunate enough to be accepted by Elder Ye, who allowed me to learn and train under his guidance for a period of time. I not only benefited greatly from his medical skills, but also gained a deeper understanding and control over my own martial spirit.

To me, Professor Ye was like a mentor to me.

Ye Linyuan waved his hand, his tone indifferent: "These are all things of the past, why bring them up?"

You were quite hardworking back then, and your achievements today are the result of your own efforts.

Xue Sheng replied solemnly, "I will never forget Elder Ye's guidance."

The two exchanged a few polite compliments, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

After exchanging pleasantries, Xue Sheng turned his gaze back to Lin Mo, his tone becoming more formal: "Lin Mo, tell me, what exactly has been going on these past few days?"

The college has its rules; someone's absence for so long without a valid reason needs an explanation.

Lin Mo had anticipated this question. He scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face, and explained, "Director Xue, it's like this."

My soul power recently broke through to level 20, reaching a bottleneck.

Fortunately, Elder Ye valued me and was willing to take me to the Soul Hunting Forest, where he helped me obtain my second soul ring.

The incident happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to report it to the college; it was my negligence.
