Transmigrating into Douluo Continent: I Am a Master

Elder Xuan slowly walked to Zhang Mo's side and watched with him the students resting and playing around on the other side.

"Do you know? Compared to Huo Yuhao, you are more like a 100,000-year-old soul beast," Elder Xuan said slowly after taking a sip of wine.

Zhang Mo smiled helplessly and said, "Is Elder Xuan making fun of me?"

"You're not just mature beyond your years, you're very composed. You're only twenty this year, right? You know how to hide yourself and restrain yourself much better than those brats." Elder Xuan pointed to Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao in the distance.

"If it weren't for today, how much longer would you have had to hide your mutated martial soul? When did you acquire this power?"

"Hmm... after level 20, I guess." Zhang Mo used the reason he had prepared in advance. Zhang Mo's reason was much more convincing than Huo Yuhao's.

He was unsuccessful in his youth, and the development of the Mirror Martial Soul was extremely difficult, so he chose to pursue a theoretical path. He left home at the age of eleven and traveled all over the world.

To verify his research results, he boldly absorbed two light-attribute soul beasts, resulting in some changes after reaching the second ring.

Zhang Mo recounted the fictional past in this way.

Elder Xuan seemed to be deep in thought, and Ling Luochen, the current member of the Shrek Seven Devils, was in a similar situation.

Her martial spirit was initially very weak, but after reaching the second ring, it underwent a dramatic change, making up for its deficiencies.

"When I used this power, everyone seemed to have forgotten how weak I was, how low-level a Soul Master I was in their eyes. This mutation has taken me from hell to heaven in one fell swoop."

"Most people might feel like they're finally getting better, but I feel ashamed. I don't agree with this sudden strength and recognition."

"So when I saw Huo Yuhao risking his life to prove himself, I felt he was very much like myself a few years ago, so I decided to take him as my disciple. It's so that one day we can prove that we're both capable!" Zhang Mo said these words with great conviction.

"Master..." Huo Yuhao stood aside, feeling a pang of emotion. He realized that his master had also faced such difficulties in the past.

"So I continued to study the theory, and after so many days and nights, I finally proved myself. I am now the number one theorist in the Soul Master world, and I am on par with Yu Xiaogang."

"But I still didn't plan to use this power, because it didn't matter anymore, until the night Yuhao was assassinated."

"I compromised. In the end, a human, a Soul Master, still needs to possess power."

Zhang Mo's reasons sounded far more genuine than Huo Yuhao's at the time. His story was intertwined with humanity, and Zhang Mo was ultimately just a mutated martial soul, not uncommon in the era of Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect. It was Huo Yuhao's sudden emergence of a second martial soul that shocked and baffled everyone.

Elder Xuan was very satisfied with this explanation, nodding repeatedly as he listened. Then, he left after uttering a single sentence:

"Stay put at the academy from now on, and no one will look down on you anymore."

Looking at Elder Xuan's retreating figure, Zhang Mo couldn't help but mutter, "Pfft, that silly old man."

Zhang Mo wasn't mocking Xuan Lao for not seeing through his lie and calling him stupid; rather, Xuan Lao always possessed a childlike quality, perhaps related to his martial spirit.

Elder Xuan is indeed a rare and good person. If it weren't for that accident years ago, he would be even more energetic and spirited now!

Unfortunately, there aren't that many "what ifs" in this world.

Me too, I don't have many opportunities to contribute to this world...

Zhang Mo reached out and ruffled Huo Yuhao's hair.

"Master, I will definitely make your name resound throughout the entire Soul Master world!" Huo Yuhao said solemnly.

It seemed to be more than just something said to Zhang Mo; it was like some kind of vow.

"Alright, Master has been waiting for this day."

"By the way, does Xiaoyuhao want to learn swordsmanship...?"

……

Soon, an hour had passed.

The second assessment has begun.

Zhang Mo was pulled down by Elder Xuan, who said that he no longer needed to train with him, but would instead be responsible for summarizing the situation of each student and customizing tactics for the Soul Master Competition in the future.

Elder Xuan had Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Ye Guyi, and Jiang Nannan switch teams.

Dai Yueheng was somewhat dissatisfied, but he was quickly suppressed by Elder Xuan.

The following matches unfolded exactly as Zhang Mo had predicted.

Huo Yuhao assisted Ling Luochen in unleashing his power, resulting in a significant improvement for Ling Luochen, who directly suppressed Ma Xiaotao and put pressure on everyone else on the field.

Chen Zifeng and Dai Yueheng dealt with Gongyang Mo, the weakest member of Ma Xiaotao's temporary team, followed by Beibei and He Caitou.

Xi Xi was defeated by Huo Yuhao and Xiao Xiao working together against Wang Dong, while Ye Guyi was once again powerless to win a battle.

Although Ye Guyi replaced Yao Haoxuan, it did not change the course of the battle much.

So, after another round of "I am a pig," Ye Guyi rushed off the stage and started punching Zhang Mo.

"It's all your fault, it's all your fault. I said 'I'm a pig' twice."

Zhang Mo raised his hand to block, saying aggrievedly, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't even play in the second match."

Elder Xuan then announced that they would depart for Xingluo City early the next morning.

Zhang Mo noticed a flicker of panic in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he knew what Huo Yuhao was worried about.

Zhang Mo knew he had one last night to make preparations.

Ye Guyi, head bowed, seemed lost in thought when she asked Zhang Mo, "Want to go out tonight?"

Zhang Mo turned and left, saying, "No, I'm a bit busy tonight. Aren't you packing your things?"

Ye Guyi didn't expect Zhang Mo to reject her so decisively. She kicked Zhang Mo in the butt and said, "Go to hell."

Ma Xiaotao burst into laughter upon seeing this scene; she hadn't forgotten the slap Zhang Mo had given her back then.

She came to Ye Guyi's side and said, "Haha, good sister, let's go, let's ignore him."

Zhang Mo, bewildered, rubbed his buttocks and hurriedly ran out of the Soul Fighting Zone.

After running out of the Soul Fighting Zone, he watched Bei Bei's figure in the distance. Bei Bei was heading towards the dormitory building, which was in the exact opposite direction from the Red Tea House.

He hurried towards the teahouse. A man on the eve of a long journey would inevitably spend time with his beloved woman. Therefore, Beibei would definitely find Tang Ya tonight.

He wanted to use the last bit of his savings to provide the final insurance for Tang Ya, this ticking time bomb.

He ran breathlessly to the teahouse. There was still some time before Shrek Academy's normal dismissal time, so there were hardly any people in the shop.

Tang Ya, who was working part-time, naturally saw Zhang Mo. Curious, she stepped forward and asked, "Master, what brings you here?"

Are you busy right now?

"It's not busy right now..." Tang Ya turned her head and called inside, "Sister Wang, a friend of mine has come to visit, let me greet him."

Tang Ya and Zhang Mo found a place to sit down. Zhang Mo took out a porcelain bottle from his ring's soul tool and handed it to Tang Ya.

Tang Ya picked up the porcelain bottle, opened the cork, and a strong medicinal aroma wafted out. The taste was strange, and she felt it would taste very bitter.

The woman Tang Ya called Sister Wang came out from the kitchen, brought over a cup of fragrant black tea, and said with a smile, "You must be Xiao Ya's friend. This is our signature black tea, please try it."

"Okay, thank you, Sister Wang." Zhang Mo returned Sister Wang's smile.

After Sister Wang left, Zhang Mo picked up the cup of fragrant black tea, took a sniff, and then took a sip before saying, "This is a Wood Auckland Pill."
