56: Chapter 56 Adorable New Soul Skill: The Demon Realm Descends

Arriving at Teacher Shen Yao's detached dormitory.

As soon as Lin Mo entered, he began bustling about, directing everyone to move tables and clear the space.

Even Teacher An Nuolan and Teacher Shen Yao were ordered by him to lend a hand.

He himself laid out the pile of purchased materials, sorting them into categories.

soul crystals with soul crystals, medicinal herbs with medicinal herbs; everything was arranged neatly, looking quite professional.

"Mengmeng, come over and sit down properly." Lin Mo patted the cushion on the floor.

"Mhm!"

Lu Mengmeng's little face was flushed with excitement. She sat down cross-legged obediently, her eyes full of anticipation.

She knew in her heart that if she could really awaken an Earth-rank high-level Soul Skill, and word got back to her parents, it would definitely drop their jaws.

The others brought small stools and sat not far away, watching with bated breath, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Lin Mo glanced at Teacher Shen Yao, as if intending to offer a hint, and spoke slowly: "The Soul Skill I am about to awaken for Mengmeng is called 'Demon World Descent', an Earth-rank high-level Soul Skill."

He paused, then explained: "This is a domain-type Soul Skill that can instantly turn an area into a Devil Vine forest. Within this vine forest, Lu Mengmeng can freely control the vines to attack enemies within range, catching them off guard."

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions full of astonishment.

Earth-rank high-level Soul Skill? You kid really dares to brag.

"However, this Soul Skill also has a drawback." Lin Mo changed the subject. "That is the high consumption of Soul Power. With Mengmeng's current Soul Power, she can release it over ten-plus square meters at most, and it will drain her Soul Power after holding it for ten-plus seconds."

Ten-plus seconds? What kind of drawback is that?

Teacher An Nuolan and Teacher Shen Yao muttered to themselves.

A Soul Skill of this level, even if it only lasts a few seconds, would be enough to keep as a trump card.

The premise being that Lin Mo wasn't bragging.

But the two of them still couldn't help but worry.

Everything they had learned was based on the experience passed down by their predecessors; Soul Skill awakening had always been a gradual process. Where had they ever seen something so "radical"?

Lin Mo's approach was like sprinting down a path no one had ever walked before; no matter how one looked at it, it reeked of "courting death".

"Lin Mo, why don't we just forget it?" Teacher An Nuolan couldn't help but advise. "This pile of things you have is so messy, I'm afraid you'll hurt Mengmeng..."

"Don't, Teacher An!" Lu Mengmeng immediately became anxious and waved her hands hurriedly.

"Just watch, I trust Boss!"

She was still waiting to awaken her new Soul Skill; how could she allow anyone to interfere?

Lin Mo didn't offer any further explanation and said directly to Lu Mengmeng: "Alright, follow the method I taught you, focus your mind, and begin guiding your Martial Soul."

Lu Mengmeng took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and slowly raised her hands, a faint black light glowing from her palms.

The Soul Power around her body began to fluctuate according to a specific frequency.

One hour... Two hours... Three hours later, everyone was still on edge.

A Soul Skill slot on Lu Mengmeng's Martial Soul phantom suddenly lit up successfully.

With a "hum", Soul Power rippled through the living room.

Then came Lu Mengmeng's excited shriek.

"Wahahaha, Earth-rank high-level 'Demon World Descent'! This young lady has succeeded!"

Teacher An Nuolan and Teacher Shen Yao were instantly shocked to their cores.

They hurriedly walked over to Lu Mengmeng.

"It, it really succeeded!" The two teachers looked as if they had seen a ghost.

An Earth-rank high-level Soul Skill, awakened right under their noses?

And it was awakened by a freshman!

Teacher Shen Yao tremblingly touched the phantom of the Nether Vine behind Lu Mengmeng. Where her fingertips touched, she could clearly feel the Soul Power, which was several times stronger than before.

From deep within the vines, there was even a faint "rustling" sound, as if a dark vine forest was truly hidden within.

"This... is this the Earth-rank high-level Soul Skill recorded in the books? It's too strong!"

Teacher Shen Yao's voice was trembling.

She had been studying Soul Skills for over twenty years and had never seen such a perfect awakening process.

There was not a single trace of energy leakage, and the compatibility between the Soul Skill and the Martial Soul had almost reached one hundred percent.

Most importantly, she really hadn't seen many Earth-rank high-level Soul Skills.

Teacher An Nuolan also leaned in, condensing a trace of Soul Power at her fingertips to probe, but was instantly entangled by countless tiny vines, scaring her into quickly retracting her hand: "This domain... it has aggression even before being released?"

"That is natural."

Lin Mo proudly raised his chin.

Teacher Shen Yao suddenly grabbed his arm, her eyes burning as if trying to see right through him: "Lin Mo! How on earth did you do it? The proportions of those materials, the frequency of the Soul Power guidance... Do you have some special inheritance?"

Lin Mo shook off the hand that was grabbing him.

"Teacher Shen, don't be in such a hurry."

Then, he took a small bottle of soul condensing pill from his pocket and threw it to Lu Mengmeng.

"Quickly take this to solidify the foundation of your Soul Skill."

Lu Mengmeng caught it and quickly poured out a blue pill, tossing it into her mouth like a candy bean.

The flush on her face gradually faded, but she was still dancing with excitement: "Boss, can I release it now? Just for one second to try!"

"No." Lin Mo put on a stern face. "Wait until your Soul Power recovers by thirty percent. This Soul Skill is a trump card for saving your life, not for you to show off blindly."

The shock in Teacher Shen Yao and Teacher An Nuolan's hearts had not yet subsided, and now seeing the pill Lin Mo gave Lu Mengmeng, they were completely numb.

"You, you, you, this is...!"

"Oh, you mean this? It's a soul condensing pill, which can increase the speed of Soul Power cultivation and solidify the Martial Soul, among other effects. Do you want one? One million each!"

Lin Mo had long planned to sell pills, but he just hadn't had the time to develop customers. Now was the perfect time to advertise.

"A soul condensing pill? Isn't it the Soul Gathering Pill of the Medicine King?"

Teacher An Nuolan and Teacher Shen Yao were both teachers, so they had certainly heard of the Medicine King's pills.

"Heh, can that piece of trash compare to my soul condensing pill?" Lin Mo smiled disdainfully.

Half an hour later, in the living room. Lu Mengmeng was fiddling with her newly awakened Soul Skill in the yard, while Niu Dachun was clumsily helping her guard.

The remaining four people in the living room stared at Lin Mo in unison, their eyes looking as if they were watching some incredible monster.

"To be honest," Teacher Shen Yao suddenly gave a bitter smile, her tone carrying a hint of self-mockery. "I don't even feel qualified to be your instructor anymore. In terms of theoretical knowledge and practical methods, you are far better than me."

Teacher An Nuolan also sighed, her eyes full of lament. "The Four Great Academies are really afraid they missed out on a monster this time."

"You two teachers are too modest." Lin Mo waved his hand, his tone calm. "Actually, the reason I came to the academy is that I value the library here most, especially those rare books that haven't been made public. As for which academy I attend, I don't care at all."

"Heh, that's true." Teacher An Nuolan raised an eyebrow. "A C-rank Martial Soul, yet the cultivation speed is in no way inferior to those geniuses with SS-rank Martial Souls; this in itself explains everything."

She changed the subject, her eyes showing anticipation: "By the way, Lin Mo, since you can help Lu Mengmeng awaken a Soul Skill, then... can we also...?"

She was over level fifty and still had one empty Soul Skill slot; how could she let such an opportunity pass by?

As soon as these words were spoken, Mu Liuli and Su Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly lit up.

They had been so shocked just now that they had forgotten about this.

Hiring a top master to guide a Soul Skill awakening is not only an astronomical price, but you also can't even hire them.

Now that there was this "first come, first served" opportunity, their hearts couldn't help but race.

Lin Mo had long expected this and took out a piece of paper he had written at some unknown time from his pocket, handing it over with a smile.

"No problem. This is the price list for Soul Skill awakening. Since we are acquaintances, I'll give you a fifty percent discount, just like Lu Mengmeng."

The handwriting on the paper was neat, listing the awakening prices for Soul Skills of different grades, from Profound-rank to Earth-rank, with clear prices marked.
