Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

"Zhang Mo, how are you? Did Di Tian do anything to you?"

"Old Mu! What time is it?!" Zhang Mo roared angrily.

Zhang Mo couldn't accept this reality. Even though his own injuries were more serious, he was still the first to speak up and show concern for others.

And yet, such a good person still suffered such misfortune in his later years.

Looking into Zhang Mo's eyes, which were filled with anger, Elder Mu lowered his head, paused, and said, "He is an evil soul master."

"There were eleven evil spirit masters in total. They split into two groups. One group infiltrated Shrek City, and the other group infiltrated the outer courtyard and launched a terrorist attack."

"The elders and I had no choice but to fight on the spot. We killed six of the eleven evil soul masters, but only one of the four titled Douluo survived."

"Just this alone has consumed a great deal of my life force. I'm truly old and useless now."

Old Mu held Zhang Mo's hand, and after saying this, he slowly leaned back, resting his entire back against the recliner.

The hero's decline was a painful experience for Zhang Mo.

"I'm sorry, Zhang Mo. My plan is that I can hold on for several more decades, and by then you and Yuhao will be able to support the academy. At that time, I can leave in peace."

"But now, I may not be able to last that long. My life force can only last for about a year and a half. During this time, you must all strive to grow."

"Yes, Elder Mu, I... I will definitely do it."

After saying that, Old Mu fell into a deep sleep, a rare occurrence in the past. It seemed that Old Mu's health was truly deteriorating.

Elder Xuan appeared at the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion at just the right time.

He waved to Zhang Mo, who quietly walked towards the door.

It was from Elder Xuan that Zhang Mo learned the full story of the attack: it was initially determined that during the time Zhang Mo was away rebuilding the Tang Sect, Jing Hongchen, who was visiting, was not convinced and persuaded this group of lawless evil spirit masters for some unknown reason.

Their purpose was very simple: to carry out a terrorist attack. They weren't there for Ma Xiaotao, as Zhang Mo thought. This led to the different timelines of their story.

In the original timeline, the evil spirit masters deliberately chose to fight outside Shrek City in order to give Ma Xiaotao a chance to escape.

This time, their target wasn't Ma Xiaotao; their sole purpose was to attack Shrek Academy. Therefore, they concealed their identities, used soul tools to hide their presence, and infiltrated Shrek City and the academy to launch their attack.

Furthermore, the evil spirit masters openly revealed the name of their organization: the Holy Spirit Cult.

"What?" Zhang Mo blurted out.

"Right? I was quite surprised when I first heard Elder Mu say that. I didn't expect that the number of evil soul masters had been decreasing over the past hundred years. I thought the world was at peace. It turns out that an organization has been formed in secret."

"The fact that a fearless evil spirit master could be led to form an organization is unbelievable. If I hadn't encountered this, who would believe it?"

Elder Xuan thought that Zhang Mo had never expected that evil soul masters would form an organization and launch large-scale, planned attacks.

But Zhang Mo was thinking: How is this possible?!

Why would the Holy Spirit Cult reveal their identity so early? Even if they hadn't found the two Holy Maidens, they wouldn't have shown themselves so soon.

What exactly happened?

Zhang Mo had a vague feeling that the world was starting to go berserk, and its future development would become unpredictable.

Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao was still absorbing the third soul ring of the Spirit Eye.

Zhang Mo felt somewhat melancholy. He had once thought he understood this world, but it seemed he knew nothing about it at all. Even with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion explaining some principles of fate to him, he realized he still only had a superficial understanding of how this world worked.

Zhang Mo mistakenly believed that by changing Ma Xiaotao's fate, there would be no more evil spirit masters attacking.

As a result, Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, still came to Shrek Academy and made some kind of deal with the evil soul master.

It turns out that these were Old Master Mu's fates, not simply Ma Xiaotao's fates.

Zhang Mo clenched his fist inwardly, then slowly relaxed it.

Elder Xuan noticed the change in Zhang Mo's emotions. He reached out his greasy, dirty hands to comfort Zhang Mo, but then he noticed that Zhang Mo's clothes were impeccably clean, a stark contrast to his own hands.

He quickly withdrew his hand, and under Zhang Mo's bewildered gaze, he found a relatively clean piece of cloth on his body, rubbed his hand a few times, and then patted Zhang Mo's shoulder.

He gently comforted him, "Old Master Mu's life force is... almost exhausted. So he chose to sleep as much as possible to reduce the consumption of his life force, but this is just a drop in the ocean."

"I heard everything outside the door. You're a good kid, Zhang Mo. You haven't let Old Master Mu down. In fact, he told me a lot before you came back."

"He understands you and cares about you far more than you think. That Sea God Token wasn't handed to you so hastily. It was given to you by Elder Mu after careful consideration."

"Compared to your future achievements as a Soul Master, Elder Mu actually values ​​your sense of responsibility more. I'm not good at management, Elder Lin has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the Sea God Pavilion, and Elder Mu... well..."

"...A very important task has been entrusted to you."

Zhang Mo took out the token, which was entirely blue and had a blue halo flowing around it, from his storage soul tool.

The smooth surface gradually reflected Zhang Mo's bewildered face.

He murmured, "Actually, I may not be the person you want, but I don't want to betray Elder Mu's trust."

……

On the third day, Huo Yuhao finally awoke from absorbing the spirit ring and obtained the third spirit skill of the Spirit Eye.

He also took Mu Lao as his third teacher and followed him to learn skills.

The academy officially launched the Extreme Individual Soldier Program. For three days of the week, Huo Yuhao followed Fan Yu of the Soul Guidance Department to learn about soul tools, and for three days he followed Elder Mu to cultivate martial souls. On the last day, Zhang Mo taught Huo Yuhao about theoretical knowledge.

A year and a half passed in this way, and the Shrek Seven Devils made steady progress.

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao both broke through to the Soul Master level, while Bei Bei and Xu Sanshi successfully advanced to the Soul King level.

Bei Bei now frequently travels between the academy and Tian Dou City. Hearing that the reconstruction of the Tang Sect is going very smoothly, he always has a happy smile on his face.

Bei Bei, Xu Sanshi, and Jiang Nannan all successfully advanced to the inner courtyard, but Jiang Nannan and He Caitou's soul power was only level 49, just one step away from becoming a Soul King.

Huo Yuhao's soul power stopped at level thirty-eight. Under the academy's policy of not forcing growth, the speed of soul power improvement could only be this slow, which even Huo Yuhao himself found quite frustrating, but he was not discouraged by it.

In a year and a half, a lot has changed, yet not much has changed.

However, just as people experience joy and sorrow, separation and reunion, so too does the moon wax and wane.

What's meant to come will come.
