Chapter 35: Leaving Nuoding Academy
Wait until Lin Mo had almost finished packing his luggage, he couldn't help but speak up, asking the doubt in his heart:
"Lin Mo, you... what are you doing? Packing your luggage?
There are still several days left before the end of the semester and the start of the holidays. Are you planning to leave the academy early and start your holiday life?"
Hearing Wang Sheng's inquiry, the movement of Lin Mo's hands paused slightly. He turned around, looked at Wang Sheng, nodded first, and then shook his head.
This action made Wang Sheng even more confused. He scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head at the same time?"
Lin Mo looked at Wang Sheng's face full of confusion and slowly said, "I am indeed leaving the academy early.
However, it's not to start my holiday life, but... I have already applied to the Dean for early graduation, and I have already received the Dean's approval."
He paused, his gaze sweeping across this Dormitory Seven where he had lived for over a year, his tone remaining calm: "After I finish packing my things, I will set off and leave Nuoding Academy directly."
"Early graduation?!" Lin Mo's answer made Wang Sheng jump up from his bed, his face written with disbelief,
"You... you're graduating early? Why so sudden?"
He had originally thought that Lin Mo would be like Tang San and Xiao Wu, continuing to study at Nuoding Academy until graduating normally around the age of twelve and then heading to an Intermediate academy.
He never expected that Lin Mo would leave so soon.
Lin Mo had been enrolled for less than a year and was already graduating and leaving!
This news came too suddenly, making it difficult for Wang Sheng to accept for a moment.
He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.
While continuing to pack other small items, Lin Mo slowly explained, "It's been almost a year since I left Di Hun Village to come out and study.
I want to take advantage of this holiday to go back and report my safety to the Village Chief Grandpa who adopted me."
His voice was very peaceful, "I have now become a true Spirit Master, and it's time to go back and tell him this good news personally, so he can be happy too."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, the shock on Wang Sheng's face gradually faded, replaced by a sense of understanding.
He nodded vigorously, forced a smile onto his face, and said, "So that's how it is... then you should definitely go back! Congratulations, Lin Mo! You've officially become a Spirit Master!"
He was truly happy for Lin Mo, but he also secretly felt a surge of motivation in his heart and said:
"After I follow the academy's hunting team this time and successfully obtain my first spirit ring, I will also become a Spirit Master!
At that time, I will definitely Cultivate hard and strive to... strive to catch up a little bit with your pace!"
Wang Sheng said this with a bit of a lack of confidence.
He was very clear about how large the talent gap was between himself and Lin Mo; catching up was easier said than done, as difficult as reaching the heavens.
But this didn't stop him from regarding Lin Mo as a goal to motivate himself to keep moving forward.
Hearing Wang Sheng's words, a gentle smile appeared on Lin Mo's face.
He stopped his movements, looked at Wang Sheng, and said sincerely, "Congratulations to you in advance as well. I wish you a smooth hunt this time and that you successfully obtain a spirit ring that suits you."
He thought for a moment and then added, "By the way, regarding the choice of your first spirit ring, I have a suggestion. Do you want to hear it?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng's eyes immediately lit up, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Of course! Lin Mo, tell me quickly!"
Lin Mo's strength and insight were publicly recognized as the strongest in the current Dormitory Seven.
Lin Mo looked at Wang Sheng and asked seriously, "Have you chosen your future Cultivation direction? Is it the attack system or the agility-attack system?"
Wang Sheng answered without any hesitation, puffing out his chest very proudly and replying loudly, "Confirmed! It's the Power Attack System Spirit Master!
My War Tiger Spirit was born for the Power Attack System Spirit Master!"
Lin Mo nodded; he wasn't surprised by Wang Sheng's choice.
He pondered for a moment and then slowly spoke, "Since you've chosen the attack system, when you go to obtain your spirit ring next, if possible, try to hunt those Spirit Beasts that are Feline, just like your Spirit.
spirit rings produced by Spirit Beasts of the same origin are often more compatible with your Spirit in terms of attributes, and the Spirit Abilitygenerated will also be more suitable for you."
He continued to explain, "Of course, if you can't find a particularly suitable Feline Spirit Beast, then take a step back and try to choose a spirit ring produced by a Strength-type Spirit Beast.
Strength is the Foundation of a Power Attack System Spirit Master.
A spirit ring that can directly amplify strength or comes with a good attack effect will be a significant boost for you at this stage."
Wang Sheng carefully mulled over Lin Mo's words, his tiger-like eyes growing brighter and brighter as he felt it made more and more sense.
Feline Spirit Beasts, Strength-type Spirit Beasts... these two directions were indeed quite compatible with his War Tiger Spirit.
"I understand!" Wang Sheng slapped his thigh hard, a look of gratitude appearing on his face, "Lin Mo, thank you! When I get to the Soul Hunting Forest, I'll look for a suitable Spirit Beast in this direction!"
Seeing that Wang Sheng had accepted his suggestion, Lin Mo also smiled. This was all he could do to help Wang Sheng.
The path of a Spirit Master ultimately must be walked step by step by oneself.
After packing all his luggage, Lin Mo put the bundle on his back.
He glanced at this Dormitory Seven where he had lived for over a year, and a faint sense of reluctance inevitably arose in his heart.
He took a deep breath, fumbled in his robes, and took out a gold coin. With a casual toss, he threw the gold coin to Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng instinctively reached out to catch it. Looking at the heavy gold coin in his palm, a confused look appeared on his face again: "Lin Mo, you are...?"
Lin Mo looked at him and explained in a calm tone, "I won't wait for everyone from Dormitory Seven to come back after class.
I'll be leaving the academy directly in a moment."
He paused, his voice lowering slightly, "Parting always makes one feel reluctant. I don't really like those sentimental scenes of saying goodbye face-to-face.
So..."
He pointed to the gold coin in Wang Sheng's hand and continued, "Please help me organize this farewell dinner for my departure and treat everyone to a good meal.
Consider it... a small token of my appreciation for everyone's care over the past year."
Among all the Work-Study Students in Dormitory Seven, besides Xiao Wu who was in the same grade, Wang Sheng was the one Lin Mo was most familiar with and communicated with the most on a daily basis.
Therefore, Lin Mo entrusted the task after his departure to Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng looked down at the gold coin in his hand and remained silent for a long while.
In the end, he nodded heavily and said in a slightly muffled but very firm voice, "Alright! Don't worry! Leave this to me!
I will definitely call everyone together and have a lively meal!"
"Mm, then I'll leave it to you." Lin Mo nodded, a relieved smile appearing on his face.
Everything that needed to be explained had been explained, and the people he needed to say goodbye to... he had also said goodbye to in this indirect way.
Lin Mo no longer hesitated. He shouldered his luggage and gave a soft sigh, "I'm off."
Then he turned around and strode away without hesitation.
Wang Sheng stood in place, watching Lin Mo's back disappear at the dormitory entrance.
He opened his mouth, but in the end, no sound came out. He just waved his hand forcefully to see Lin Mo off.
