Chapter 26: Shrek Academy
"You should have figured it out by now; these people are all Fallen, they are evil soul masters!"
"If you don't kill them, they will only harm more innocent people in the future!"
Bibi Dong looked at Su Mo and continued speaking in a calm tone.
In her eyes, the lives of these Fallen were utterly insignificant.
"Yes, I understand."
After hearing Bibi Dong's persuasion, Su Mo remained silent for a while before nodding his head.
He understood the logic.
But understanding is one thing; actually taking action is another, and hesitation is inevitable.
After all, the ones he was about to kill were humans, not soul beasts.
However, in the end, Su Mo convinced himself. In a world like Douluo Continent, he knew he would inevitably face such situations in the future, so he could only adapt as quickly as possible.
Pfft, pfft, pfft—
Su Mo then stepped forward with his spear and ended the lives of the three soul masters one by one.
After truly dealing with them, Su Mo felt a sense of relief, and all his inner conflicts disappeared.
Finally, Su Mo didn't forget to search their bodies for valuables.
He wasn't wealthy, and with the unexpected windfall, Su Mo certainly wouldn't let it slip by.
Unfortunately, the items on the three of them weren't much, amounting to just over twenty gold soul coins.
It was a decent sum.
But compared to another gain, these gold soul coins seemed insignificant.
That gain was Su Mo's ability to share Bibi Dong's vision.
Now, without needing to enter a tense battle state, as long as Su Mo was willing, he could share Bibi Dong's vision at any time.
This was an enormous help to Su Mo.
In future battles, as long as Bibi Dong's spiritual consciousness was also present, Su Mo would have a full 360-degree view.
Moreover, after sharing Bibi Dong's vision, Su Mo realized that her vision was far superior to his own.
Not only could she see farther, but everything was also much clearer.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Su Mo continued deeper into the Soul Hunting Forest, continuing his search for a suitable soul beast.
In the following days, Su Mo didn't encounter any more dangers.
Moreover, Su Mo's luck this time was even better than his first visit. After only three days in the deeper parts of the Soul Hunting Forest, he encountered a suitable soul beast.
It was a Thunderstorm Beast with a cultivation between 1,100 and 1,200 years, a soul beast with lightning attributes.
This Thunderstorm Beast resembled a mix between a cat and a leopard, larger than a cat but smaller than a leopard, and extremely agile.
Su Mo spent a great deal of effort finding the Thunderstorm Beast's favorite food and setting up a trap, eventually luring it into the trap and capturing it.
Once the Thunderstorm Beast fell into the trap, it was at Su Mo's mercy.
In the end, it met its tragic end under Su Mo's Soul Hunting Spear.
Buzz—
After killing the Thunderstorm Beast, Su Mo successfully absorbed the thousand-year soul ring that emerged from it, a purple soul ring.
His second soul ring was a thousand-year soul ring, another remarkable feat.
Aside from those who later improved the quality of their soul rings through other opportunities, no known soul master had absorbed a thousand-year soul ring at the Grandmaster level.
The second soul skill Su Mo gained was also exceptional.
Thunder Strike!
It increased his speed by 200%, and when wielding the Soul Hunting Spear, his attack power also increased by 200%!
It was an extremely powerful soul skill.
Su Mo's soul power level also directly increased to level 22, another two-level jump after absorbing the soul ring.
This was because the quality of each soul ring Su Mo absorbed always exceeded the limit.
...
When Su Mo returned to Nuoding Academy, the next day happened to be graduation day, so he didn't miss his elementary school graduation in this life.
Given Su Mo's soul power level, it was naturally easy for him to graduate from Nuoding Academy.
In fact, as long as one reached the level of a Soul Master, they could graduate from the elementary academy. Su Mo had already reached level 22, so not graduating would be abnormal.
However, Su Mo didn't reveal his level, because if he did, he would be automatically qualified for some of the better intermediate soul master academies.
He didn’t want the hassle of refusing those offers, so he simply kept quiet.
After all, with Tang San and Xiao Wu, two prodigies at level 29, standing out in front, no one would pay attention to Su Mo, who had always been an average student.
Tang San and Xiao Wu had barely graduated when representatives from prestigious intermediate soul master academies came to recruit them eagerly.
"See you in two months!"
Su Mo calmly took one last look before leaving Nuoding Academy.
When he returned to his aunt's house, naturally, his aunt's family asked about Su Mo's situation, specifically about his current level and which intermediate soul master academy he wanted to attend.
"Auntie, I'm already at level 22, officially a Grandmaster!"
"You don't need to worry about the intermediate academy; I've already made up my mind!"
Su Mo didn't hide it from his aunt, telling her his current level so that she, who doted on him, could be happy for him.
"What?"
"Level 22?"
"Oh my, Xiao Mo, you're already a Grandmaster..."
"This is wonderful. If your parents knew, they would be so proud..."
...
As expected, Su Mo's aunt was overjoyed, not expecting Su Mo to have done so well.
Su Mo didn't hurry to leave Nuoding City. He stayed at home for a month before setting off for the Balak Kingdom.
A month was enough time for Su Mo to leisurely make his way to his destination.
For the first time, Su Mo allowed himself to relax a little, taking the opportunity to appreciate the customs and scenery of this world along the way.
Su Mo only reached his destination, the city of Soto in the Balak Kingdom, when the admissions period for all intermediate soul master academies was approaching.
After arriving in Soto City, Su Mo didn't encounter any of the Shrek Seven Devils.
Whether it was Dai Mubai, Oscar, or Ma Hongjun, who were already at Shrek Academy, or Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, Su Mo didn’t run into any of them.
On the day of Shrek Academy's enrollment, after waking up in the morning and confirming the route, Su Mo set off directly.
When Su Mo found Shrek Academy, a lot of students were already lining up at the entrance for the admission test.
"So this is Shrek Academy?"
"It's so run-down!"
"Yeah, if I hadn't heard that they only accept geniuses, I wouldn't have come here..."
"If I had known it was this shabby, I wouldn't have come. It's probably a scam..."
...
As Su Mo lined up, he overheard the students and their parents ahead of him quietly complaining about Shrek Academy.
Su Mo ignored them because, at that moment, his attention was entirely drawn to the back of the girl standing in front of him.
"Damn..."
"That figure is just unfair..."
Su Mo silently grumbled to himself. Even though soul masters in this world developed quickly, the girl in front of him was almost ridiculously well-developed.
Seemingly sensing Su Mo's gaze, the girl in front of him suddenly turned her head coldly.
