Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

"Director Du Weilun, I now have serious doubts about Professor Zhang Mo's professionalism."

"They actually put a student with a soul power level of only seventeen, and whose first soul ring is a ten-year soul ring, into the list of prospective core disciples."

Ma Xiaotao's explanation for deliberately making things difficult for Zhang Mo was quite reasonable. Du Weilun sighed and said, "Teacher Zhang Mo, please explain."

"Explain? Explain to whom?" Zhang Mo said coldly.

"Ma Xiaotao, by what right do you question my work? Are you Dean Yan's disciple? Or just an ordinary inner court student?"

"No matter who you are, I will always be a teacher at Shrek Academy. As long as you are a student, you will never have the right to question my work."

Zhang Mo seemed to suddenly remember something, and after a soft chuckle, he said, "You actually just saw this child yesterday, didn't you?"

"You know that the ten-year soul skill is far more than just a matter of years," Zhang Mo's voice deepened.

At that moment, a hint of panic flashed across Ma Xiaotao's pretty face. She didn't know how Zhang Mo knew that she had just passed by that child's grilled fish stall yesterday when she was looking for Xu Sanshi.

She was also an orphan, and as an orphan herself, she shouldn't have used Huo Yuhao's achievements to question Zhang Mo. But Zhang Mo always had this arrogant attitude, which annoyed her.

"Hmph!" Ma Xiaotao threw down the list of students and turned to leave.

"Wait," Zhang Mo called out to Ma Xiaotao.

"I know what you're thinking, but I'm warning you, Ma Xiaotao, I won't allow you to get close to that child."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaotao glared angrily at Zhang Mo, who naturally returned the glare with the same look.

Ma Xiaotao turned and left, slamming the door behind her.

After Ma Xiaotao slammed the door and left, and the battle between the immortals was over, Du Weilun cast an inquiring glance at Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo shrugged helplessly, as if it had nothing to do with him.

……

The second day of the freshman assessment. After briefly taking a walk around the examination hall, Zhang Mo went to watch Huo Yuhao's examination.

Wang Yan seemed a little disappointed today.

Although his knowledge of Soul Masters was far inferior to Zhang Mo's, he shouldn't be so bad as to not even be able to tell what a student's Martial Soul was.

Zhang Mo knew what Wang Yan was troubled about, but he just wouldn't say.

The four rounds of competition on the second day passed quickly.

Huo Yuhao won all his group matches.

Wang Yan sighed softly and looked at Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo stroked his chin and slowly said, "I have some guesses about his martial soul, but I can't figure out what his soul skill stone is. Perhaps... we could ask him?"

Zhang Mo knew Huo Yuhao's martial soul and soul skills all too well, but for now he could only pretend to be one of those who were also kept in the dark.

"I won't ask. Tomorrow is the ranking match for the top 64. He will naturally use his soul skill when he encounters a strong opponent." Wang Yan said with an arrogant attitude.

Look at this pedantic, pretentious air of a scholar! He's practically bursting with curiosity inside. But he won't ask, he'll just pretend he's not curious.

Zhang Mo smiled to himself without saying a word.

That is……

Zhang Mo looked into the distance and realized that Huo Yuhao's group, which had clearly left together as a group of three, was now suddenly turning back.

Did she completely disregard the warning she gave Ma Xiaotao yesterday?

Zhang Mo hurriedly ran towards Xiao Xiao, who also looked somewhat flustered.

But at that moment, a person in a teacher's uniform ran up to her and asked, "Student, didn't the three of you just leave together? Why did you come back alone?"

"Ah, we ran into a senior from the inner academy on the way..."

Before Xiao Xiao could finish speaking, Zhang Mo ran straight towards the path Huo Yuhao had just taken.

Soon, Zhang Mo spotted the two figures ahead. Wang Dong was carrying Huo Yuhao and flying towards the teaching building.

"Ma, Xiao, Tao!" Zhang Mo roared.

This roar drew the attention of all three of them.

"Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, go find Wang Yan! Quickly!"

Three spirit rings, yellow, yellow, and purple, appeared behind Zhang Mo. He ran quickly towards Ma Xiaotao's location, glancing sideways to observe that Huo and Wang had already left, their figures with their backs to him.

"Zhang Mo! Do you think you, a mere Soul Master, can stop me?!"

"Second Soul Skill, Phoenix Reborn from the Ashes!"

"Third Soul Skill, Phoenix Wings Soaring Through the Sky!"

Ma Xiaotao frantically unleashed her soul skills, hurling them at Zhang Mo.

The intense heat was overwhelming! He was certain to die if this continued, this crazy woman! Zhang Mo quickly unleashed his first soul skill!

First Soul Skill! Refraction Flash!

Zhang Mo's Mirror of Innocence suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, interrupting Ma Xiaotao's soul skill release.

What kind of soul skill is this? I can't open my eyes. Ma Xiaotao quickly closed her eyes tightly and used one arm to shield her eyes.

Third Soul Skill, Mirror Reflection! Triple!

With Zhang Mo's repeated training over the past three months and the improvement of his soul power, he can now release soul skills much faster than before, and can release a soul skill three times at the same time!

One mirror reflection probably won't be enough to stop this crazy woman, let's just bring three.

Using the reflections in the triple mirrors as cover, Zhang Mo quickly changed positions.

When Ma Xiaotao opened her eyes again and looked at the three Zhang Mos in front of her, she was stunned for a moment.

Three Zhang Mos? Soul bones? No, he couldn't possibly possess soul bones. Soul skills, it's a soul skill!

In that instant, she couldn't tell which one was real.

"Zhang Mo! You're always resorting to petty, underhanded tricks! Let me tell you, in the face of absolute power!"

"It's all in vain!"

"Fourth Soul Skill! Phoenix Roar Strike!"

The purple spirit ring behind Ma Xiaotao was shining, indicating that a powerful spirit skill was about to be activated.

Phoenix Roar Strike? Does this woman want to tear down the academy?! Zhang Mo knew the power of this soul skill all too well. He no longer cared about revealing his identity and hurriedly ran towards the outer perimeter, away from Ma Xiaotao.

After a brief delay, the ground beneath Ma Xiaotao's feet began to stir restlessly, emitting a red glow. Then, a massive pillar of fire tore through the earth, violently erupting into the sky.

The violent flames tore apart Zhang Mo's three mirror reflections, and Zhang Mo was also blown away by the shockwave from the rising flames.

"Found you, Zhang Mo!"

The black spirit ring behind Ma Xiaotao began to glow.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Piercing Clouds Strike!"

Ma Xiaotao concealed her form, transforming herself into a fiery phoenix, and charged towards Zhang Mo's location.

Zhang Mo was struggling to get up from the ground. A ten-thousand-year soul skill? Do you really want to kill me?

"Third Soul Skill, Mirror Reflection, Double Level!"

Zhang Mo no longer cared about using his soul skill to replicate his perfect physique; he painstakingly constructed two enormous mirrors that stood in front of him.

But how could that possibly stop Ma Xiaotao's millennium-old soul skill?

The two enormous mirrors were shattered in an instant by the fiery phoenix.

After the mirror shattered, a wave of heat hit him, and the high temperature caused Zhang Mo's hair to become slightly charred.

Oh no, am I... going to die here?

Zhang Mo stared wide-eyed ahead, unwilling to give up.

"stop!"
