Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

The system seemed to be a little delayed before announcing the completion of the mission in Zhang Mo's mind with that cold, mechanical female voice. Zhang Mo was already used to it being a beat slow.

[The host is rewarded with a secret technique for utilizing mental power: Mental Dimensional Exploration. This allows the user to use mental power to detect items that do not exist in this dimension.]

"What is this?" Zhang Mo was overjoyed. Was this something he could use to find the fragments of himself?

Before he could think further, the system's rewards began to be distributed, and his mind suddenly jolted, his mental energy surging violently. This caused a ringing in his ears, and he staggered.

"Master!" Huo Yuhao quickly stepped forward to support Zhang Mo.

"Haha, it's nothing, I'm just too happy," Zhang Mo explained.

"Alright, alright, are you satisfied now? Now leave my office," Du Weiren said impatiently.

Zhang Mo, Huo Wangxiao, and the other two left Du Weilun's office.

Seeing Zhang Mo leave, Du Weilun sat in a chair, crossed his arms in front of him, looking deep in thought.

Previously, the Spirit Department had no deputy director, and he was wary of Zhang Mo. However, Zhang Mo's low spirit power and lack of interference in the academy's management reassured him. Now they're starting to establish factions...?

Three months have passed, and is he starting to show his fangs? He deliberately took in students we didn't think much of, if he really taught them well... No, that's impossible, I trust my judgment.

Zhang Mo himself probably didn't expect that by taking Huo Yuhao in, Du Weilun would see him as someone who would rival him.

The four people who came out of Du Weilin's office soon met Zhou Yi.

"Just continue attending classes with Teacher Zhou as usual. I'll take care of your compensation. Don't worry, you'll have everything that core disciples have, because you're my disciple," Zhang Mo said to Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao nodded, and then Zhang Mo nodded to Zhou Yi before leaving.

Zhou Yi looked at Huo Yuhao's strange expression and finally sighed, "Teacher Zhang... has accepted you as his disciple, right?"

Huo Yuhao told Zhou Yi about what had just happened in Du Weilun's office, as well as the level-four soul tool.

After giving her reward to the three of them, Zhou Yi thought it over and over again before taking Huo Yuhao to the Soul Guidance Area.

"What? Teacher Zhang Mo has already accepted you as his apprentice?" Fan Yu never expected that even though she rushed over, she was still one step behind.

"I'll go see Dean Qian, but no, this isn't that simple."

So, Qian Duoduo, Fan Yu, Zhou Yi, and Huo Yuhao ran to Zhang Mo's office again.

Office building, office of the deputy director of the Martial Soul Department.

"Knock knock—"

"Please come in."

When the four entered Zhang Mo's office, they were surprised to find him making tea.

There were exactly five teacups on the table. Did Zhang Mo know they were coming?

"Sorry, sorry, it's been a while since I've brewed tea, I'm a little rusty." Zhang Mo handed the teacups to them one by one.

"This is some good tea I bought in Tian Dou City during the Masters Cup. You guys should try it."

Qian Duoduo, being very straightforward, spoke first: "Teacher Zhang, I heard this child has already become your apprentice?"

"Yes, we're one step ahead of you." Zhang Mo made no attempt to hide the fact that he knew the Soul Guidance Department's intentions.

"What do you mean by this, Spirit Guidance Department?" Qian Duoduo's words were clearly tinged with anger. If Zhang Mo knew, then did Yan Shaozhe know too? Could it be that they were deliberately using this child to toy with our Spirit Guidance Department?

Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo's breathing became heavier, but he didn't get completely angry because he hadn't yet learned the truth of the matter.

"Yuhao, do you like soul tools?" Zhang Mo didn't answer Qian Duoduo's question, but instead asked Huo Yuhao a question.

"Master, I..." Huo Yuhao wasn't very familiar with Zhang Mo yet, so he didn't know how to answer. Should he go along with Zhang Mo's words or...?

"Just tell the truth."

"Master, I've been to the Soul Guidance Zone twice, and I quite liked it. I think Soul Guidance Devices are very interesting." Huo Yuhao seemed a little embarrassed, scratching his head as he spoke.

"Okay, that's good. I'll become Teacher Fanyu's apprentice."

"Ah?" Everyone exclaimed in unison, while Zhang Mo leisurely savored his fragrant tea.

"Master Zhang... what do you mean by this?" Whatever the reason, it was a positive and friendly act for Huo Yuhao to become Fan Yu's disciple, so Qian Duoduo changed Zhang Mo's address from Teacher Zhang to Master Zhang.

"Hmm... let me answer Dean Qian's first question first."

"The Martial Soul Department is the Martial Soul Department, and I am me. I just happen to work in the Martial Soul Department. Therefore, my disciple is my disciple, and my disciple just happens to be studying in the Martial Soul Department."

Zhang Mo's words were packed with information, causing Qian Duoduo to swallow hard. Was this... a power struggle within the Martial Soul System, or something else?

"Regarding the second question, I've also discussed it with Professor Fanyu. Soul tool technology is the future of humanity. I'm not against soul tools."

As he spoke, Zhang Mo took out a box of tea and snacks from the drawer and placed it in front of Huo Yuhao. Then he continued, "I know that you are different from those ordinary people in the Martial Soul Department. You have witnessed Huo Yuhao's soul skills and know his potential, and I believe in him as well."

"How could such a genius have only one teacher?"

"Master..."

"Sorry, everyone in the Soul Guidance Department, I beat you to it by having Huo Yuhao become my disciple. After all, the first master always carries more weight, hahaha—"

Zhang Mo spoke very sincerely. He didn't dislike soul tools or oppose the soul guidance system. He even directly shared his innermost thoughts with everyone.

This made Qian Duoduo and Fan Yu stop saying anything, and they were satisfied as long as Huo Yuhao could learn about soul tools.

Huo Yuhao felt a warmth in his heart, as the gloom of not being selected as a core disciple of the Martial Soul Department was swept away.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of so many people, Huo Yuhao became Fan Yu's disciple and a core disciple of the Soul Guidance Department.

The people present planned Huo Yuhao's future growth: during the day, he would attend regular classes in the Martial Soul system, in the afternoon Zhang Mo would give him extra tutoring, and in the evenings he would study the Soul Tool.

As they were leaving, Qian Duoduo deliberately walked to the back, patted Zhang Mo on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you, I owe Zhang Mo a favor."

Zhang Mo leaned back in his chair, looking out at the peaceful campus.

Is this a temporary halt...?

……

Soon, eight months had passed.

Zhang Mo's soul power advanced by leaps and bounds to level thirty-seven, and the students in Class 1 of Grade 4 also made rapid progress under Zhang Mo's tutelage.

With the holidays approaching, Zhang Mo is about to fulfill the promise he made to Class 1, Grade 4 at the beginning of the semester.

"Today is the last day of class before the holiday. You know what we're going to do." Zhang Mo rested his hands on the podium. "Anyone who doesn't pass my test will be expelled and won't need to come back to school after the holiday."

"Jiang Nannan, distribute these test papers."

"The exam begins."
