Chapter 2: Director Xue
Not long after, the guard who had left earlier came running back in a hurry, followed by a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a silver robe.
The middle-aged man had a steady gait and exuded an air of natural authority, looking like someone in a high position.
"Director Xue, it's this young student," the guard said, pointing respectfully at Lin Mo.
The middle-aged man known as Director Xue immediately fixed his gaze on Lin Mo. A faint smile appeared on his face as he walked over to him.
"Little friend, are you Lin Mo?" Director Xue asked in a gentle voice.
"Yes, hello Director Xue." Lin Mo greeted him neither submissively nor arrogantly, handing over the recommendation letter and soul master handbook once again.
Director Xue took the items but didn't check them immediately. Instead, he said to Lin Mo, "This isn't the place to talk. Follow me to the Admissions Office."
"Alright," Lin Mo replied.
Director Xue nodded to the two guards and led Lin Mo through the academy gates toward an office building not far away... inside the Admissions Office.
After inviting Lin Mo to sit, Director Xue finally began to carefully read the recommendation letter and soul master handbook.
He read slowly and very thoroughly.
When he saw the information in the soul master handbook stating that Lin Mo had only obtained his first spirit ring over half a year ago, his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch slightly.
He then looked up at Lin Mo, his voice tinged with surprise:
"Lin Mo, it's recorded here in your soul master handbook that you had your Spirit Awakening a year ago and obtained your first spirit ring over six months ago?"
"Yes, Director Xue," Lin Mo answered calmly.
"Lin Mo, according to the procedure, I need to personally verify your Spirit and current spirit power Rank." Director Xue set down the handbook and looked at Lin Mo.
"Alright, Director Xue." With a slight thought from Lin Mo...
With a flash of red light, Charmander appeared at his feet, encircled by a bright yellow spirit ring.
The spirit power fluctuations radiating from Lin Mo clearly indicated his current cultivation—Rank 16!
After resting for half a month in Di Hun Village and maintaining his Cultivate without slackening during the twenty-plus days of travel, his spirit power Rank had achieved a Breakthrough again, rising from the middle of Rank 15 to Rank 16.
Director Xue's gaze first lingered on that hundred-year spirit ring for a moment before he keenly perceived Lin Mo's spirit power Rank. For the first time, a look of visible shock appeared on his face.
"Rank 16?!" He couldn't help but stand up, picking up the soul master handbook to look again. It clearly recorded that when Lin Mo obtained his first spirit ring in Nuoding City over half a year ago, his spirit powerwas at Rank 12.
"If I remember correctly, you obtained your first spirit ring just over six months ago, right? From Rank 12 to Rank 16... how much time has passed?"
Director Xue's voice was full of shock. "Your cultivation speed... isn't it a bit too fast?"
He was at a loss for words.
This was simply unheard of!
He had taught for many years and seen many Geniuses, but someone like Lin Mo, who could maintain such a terrifying promotion speed at the Spirit Master stage, was definitely one in a million.
Even direct descendants of the great Sects and Families, with the best resources and Calm Mind methods, rarely achieved such a terrifying cultivation speed.
Director Xue even began to doubt if he was seeing things correctly, or if the soul master handbook was a fake.
But the seal and the spirit power aura could not be faked.
Sensing Director Xue's shock, Lin Mo smiled and explained, "It might be because my Spirit is a rather special Mutated Spirit, which makes my cultivation speed much faster than ordinary people."
At this point, Lin Mo paused and reached out to pat Charmander's smooth head. "Although Charmander is also a Beast Spirit, its manifestation after being released is like a Tool Spirit—it is in an external state.
It's likely because of this that my cultivation speed is significantly faster than normal."
He wasn't lying about this; he just chose to share only part of the truth without revealing everything.
Because of the Spirit Power Sharing, his and Charmander's cultivation speeds could be added together.
Put most simply, he and Charmander could accumulate experience for the same spirit power Rank by cultivating simultaneously.
This was why his cultivation speed was so fast. With his Innate Rank 6 talent, his cultivation speed even surpassed many Spirit Masters with Innate Full Spirit Power.
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Director Xue seemed to recall something and said, "External Beast Martial Soul... this form of Spirit is indeed rare.
I remember that in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects, there seems to be someone... although his Spirit is also a Beast Spirit, its manifestation is an external state like a Tool Spirit, and it cannot be possessed."
Director Xue spoke tactfully, but Lin Mo knew he was referring to Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang—the man with the Luo San Pao Spirit who, due to a Spirit mutation, could never Breakthrough Rank 30 and was known as 'invincible in theory.'
Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded, confirming Director Xue's words. "You're right, Director Xue. My Charmander Spirit is indeed an External Beast Martial Soul that cannot be possessed. It's similar to that person's situation, but the specific form and abilities are different."
He didn't want others to equate him with Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao.
His Charmander was far superior to Luo San Pao in both potential and combat power.
Director Xue nodded thoughtfully and didn't press further about the Spirit. Every Spirit Master had their own secrets, and probing too deeply would be improper.
A gentle smile returned to his face as he said to Lin Mo, "Lin Mo, I understand your situation now.
On behalf of Heaven Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy, I welcome you to join us!"
Since such a gifted student had come to them of his own accord, there was no reason to turn him away.
Director Xue looked at Lin Mo, becoming more and more satisfied the more he looked.
He was originally from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. Although only from a branch line, he had deep feelings for the Imperial Family and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy that relied on it.
As one of the important bases for sending outstanding talents to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he was sincerely happy that the Heaven Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy could recruit a Genius like Lin Mo.
He could almost see Lin Mo successfully entering the Heaven Dou Royal Spirit Master Academy in a few years.
And then shining brilliantly in the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament, winning honor for the Heaven Dou Empireand the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
With the talent and cultivation speed Lin Mo was currently showing, by the time he was around twenty and that year's Spirit MasterTournament was held, his strength would definitely reach a staggering height!
At this thought, the smile on Director Xue's face grew even wider.
However, he soon restrained his smile and looked at Lin Mo, his tone becoming more formal. "Lin Mo, while you are welcome, we still have to follow the academy's procedures."
He pointed outside the office. "All new students must undergo an Entrance Assessment upon enrollment.
On one hand, it's to verify your combat capabilities, and on the other, it's to assign classes based on the assessment results so we can teach students according to their aptitude."
"So, you still need to participate in the upcoming Entrance Assessment. Is that alright?"
Lin Mo had expected this and nodded without hesitation. "No problem, Director Xue. I will prepare seriously."
Showing one's strength was a necessary step, and he didn't mind it.
On the contrary, he was also very curious to see the level of the students at this Heaven Dou Intermediate Soul Master Academy.
