28: Chapter 28 The College Entrance Examination Begins
"Alright then, what aspect do you want me to guide you on?" Lin Mo had to put down the book in his hand.
Seeing Lin Mo agree, Pei Luohan's eyes lit up, and she quickly said:
"Soul Power cultivation. You advance so quickly, you must have your own methods, right?"
"Small matter." Lin Mo had thought she would ask about Soul Skills, but he didn't expect it to be about Soul Power cultivation.
"Tell me about your current situation, and I'll give you some advice."
He had plenty of ways to increase Soul Power.
The Soul Condensation Breathing Technique version 1.0 could be sold as long as the price was right.
Pills like the body refining pill and the soul condensing pill could help her speed up in minutes.
Only the 2.0 version could not be easily brought out.
"It's like this." Pei Luohan frowned, her tone filled with a bit of distress.
"Ever since I awakened my Soul Skill last time, no matter how I cultivate, I can't feel any improvement in my Soul Power. Do you think something is wrong with me?"
"There's such a thing?" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and immediately asked the System AI to analyze it.
A moment later.
Seeing the analysis results, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smiled in a deliberately mysterious way.
Look at that, business had arrived.
"These are all small problems for you. I happen to have some good things here that can solve them."
As he spoke, he fished out two pills, one red and one blue, from his pocket. They were round and smooth, with a faint luster on their surfaces.
Seeing those two pills, Pei Luohan's breath hitched, and her eyes were filled with disbelief: "This is... a pill?!"
"Oh? You also know about pills?" Lin Mo was a bit surprised.
Hearing his counter-question, Pei Luohan instantly confirmed something, and she stared at him as if she had seen a ghost: "Is this really...?"
Lin Mo was confused by her reaction, feeling she was being overly excited: "Looking at your expression, it seems you've seen pills before?"
"Alright, I won't hide it from you."
He shook the pills in his hand.
"This red one is a body refining pill, it can enhance physical strength. The blue one is a soul condensing pill, it can increase Soul Power cultivation speed and the upper limit..."
"How about it, interested? One million each, limited quantity."
The five hundred million he got from the Lu Family last time.
Because of repeated failures in trying to refine higher-level pills, plus the consumption of pills during this period, half of it had already been spent.
Now, if he could sell some pills to recoup his funds, it would be a good choice.
Hearing Lin Mo explain the effects and functions of these two pills, Pei Luohan was even more shocked.
So this kid's Soul Power was increasing so fast because he was taking pills.
Pei Luohan's fingers trembled slightly, her gaze glued to the two pills, her throat bobbing.
"Do you know what this means?"
"It means it can help you break through your bottleneck, and also let me recoup some costs..."
"Ah, pfft, one million each, honest prices for all."
Pei Luohan felt exhausted seeing Lin Mo's money-grubbing look.
"Fine, give me ten of each. If they work, I'll order them long-term in the future!"
"Don't worry, you got it!" Lin Mo grinned and took out two glass bottles.
Pei Luohan didn't waste words and transferred the money to Lin Mo directly.
After that, Lin Mo asked: "Looking at your reaction earlier, it seems you've seen other pills?"
Pei Luohan put away the pills and didn't hide it.
"You've heard of Mo Chen, the owner of the SS-rank Medicine King Cauldron Martial Soul, right?"
"I've heard of him, that level 90 Support Soul Master. He can also refine pills?"
Mo Chen, Vice President of the Martial Soul Association.
Anyone who has been to school knows him.
Lin Mo had, of course, heard of him.
Ordinary Medicine Cauldron Martial Souls generally don't exceed B-rank, but Mo Chen's Medicine King Cauldron is SS-rank.
"That's right. After this Mo Chen reached level 90, he awakened an alchemy Soul Skill, which allows him to refine some pills with special effects."
Holy crap, an alchemy Soul Skill?
Isn't that something an alchemy furnace Martial Soul has naturally?
Lin Mo felt that compared to this Mo Chen, he was standing at the peak...
"And one of them is called the Soul Gathering Pill, the effect is about the same as your soul condensing pill. As for which is better or worse, I don't know."
"Currently, not many people know about this. I was lucky to learn about it from an elder."
Pei Luohan looked at Lin Mo.
"Honestly, could your Martial Soul also be a Medicine King Cauldron?"
"Ha, that's right. Actually, my Martial Soul is a mutated Medicine King Cauldron." Lin Mo reached out and released his round, chubby furnace.
That was fine; having a ready-made excuse saved him from having to explain.
Pei Luohan leaned in to look: "Hmm... although it looks a bit strange, it's chubby and very cute!"
Lin Mo: ...
The next day, Linjiang City No. 1 High School.
"Teacher Liao, do you think Lin Mo from your class can give us a surprise?"
On the office building, the bald principal looked smilingly at the candidates walking toward the exam hall.
"If there are no accidents, he will be the top liberal arts student in the Dragon Kingdom this year!"
Teacher Liao Dafu was full of confidence.
"Heh, very good. If he takes the national top liberal arts student title, I'll give you triple the bonus."
And the protagonist of the school discussion had already arrived at his exam hall.
"I wonder if a perfect score in liberal arts can add points to the martial arts exam."
With the System AI as a cheat, this liberal arts exam was just like an open-book test; it had no difficulty for Lin Mo at all.
The first subject exam began, and Lin Mo finished filling it out like he was filling out a form.
"Teacher, I want to hand in my paper!"
Amidst the shock of the candidates and the invigilator, Lin Mo was the first to hand in his paper and then walked out of the classroom.
"He actually finished writing it all?"
An invigilator from another school didn't believe it and picked up the paper to take a look.
His jaw dropped.
Another invigilator patted his shoulder.
"No need to be surprised. This is our No. 1 High School's liberal arts prodigy; he gets nearly perfect scores on every exam!"
Throughout the day.
In total, there were five subjects, and Lin Mo spent less than two hours in the exam hall.
With an AI in his brain, Lin Mo could stand up to scrutiny.
He wasn't afraid of being spot-checked.
What he could look forward to was tomorrow's martial arts exam.
That was the crossroads that could determine his life.
Because a lot of knowledge regarding Martial Souls could only be accessed after entering university.
After school, Lin Mo walked with Lu Mengmeng and Da Chun.
"Boss, I heard that the top three in the martial arts exam get a spatial magic tool as a reward from the city bureau. Do you want to try hard for it?"
"There's such a thing? Who did you hear that from?" Lin Mo was immediately tempted.
He had been craving a storage magic tool for a long time, but this thing wasn't something you could just buy with money.
"My dad heard it from a friend and told me to tell you."
"Hmm... if that's the case, then I'll have to work hard."
Because when Lin Mo filled out his college entrance exam materials, he filled in F-rank Support Martial Soul.
So he originally planned to just hang out with Lu Mengmeng and Da Chun and get enough points to get into the Vermilion Bird Academy in Donghai.
But if there was a storage magic tool, he had to try hard to get it.
"By the way, Mengmeng, did you hear about any awesome Martial Souls in other middle schools?"
"Actually, there are a few. This year, there are three people in Linjiang City who awakened SS-rank Martial Souls."
"Our class monitor Qin Ran is one, and there's one each in No. 2 High and No. 3 High. Besides that, there are over a dozen strong rivals with S-rank Martial Souls that we need to pay attention to..."
The Lu Family has many businesses in Linjiang City.
It was very simple to inquire about some information.
After listening to Lu Mengmeng's account, Lin Mo frowned slightly, feeling some pressure in his heart.
Although his Soul Power had caught up, his Martial Soul was still only C-rank.
And it was indeed difficult to stand out among a group of Martial Souls with S-rank or higher aptitude.
