67: Chapter 67 The Eastern Bully Squad

In the afternoon, inside the Dean's villa.

Dean Zhou Qingyuan straightened her clothes, which had been ruffled by Lin Mo.

She cast a sidelong glance at Lin Mo, who was still savoring the tactile sensation.

"How did it feel?"

Lin Mo's face flushed red. "Aha, congratulations, Dean. After my careful and thorough examination, I have confirmed that the upper limit of your Soul Skill slot has reached the Heaven Tier Mid-stage!"

Hearing this, Dean Zhou Qingyuan was startled.

She immediately cast aside the matter of Lin Mo taking advantage of her.

"Heaven Tier Mid-stage! You're not joking, are you?"

Lin Mo straightened his posture and said with a serious expression, "I have no reason to lie to you. Honestly, the upper limit of your first Soul Skill slot at the seventh tier is actually Heaven Tier High-stage. It's a pity that you only awakened a Earth Tier Mid-stage one!"

Upon hearing this, Dean Zhou Qingyuan became even more convinced of Lin Mo's words.

Because she hadn't even displayed her Martial Soul or Soul Skill, yet Lin Mo could deduce it.

"Then, according to you, does that mean I can awaken a Heaven Tier Soul Skill?"

Dean Zhou Qingyuan's voice carried a hint of urgency.

She had been stuck at level 78 for a long time, and her Soul Power had been unable to make any progress. If she could awaken a Heaven Tier Soul Skill, it would not only increase her combat power but might even allow her to break through to level 80 in one go.

However, Lin Mo shook his head.

"Dean, to be honest with you, I don't have any information on Heaven Tier Soul Skills right now, so I can't guide you in awakening one yet."

Dean Zhou Qingyuan frowned immediately.

Lin Mo quickly added, "Of course, if you can provide me with some information regarding the Heaven Tier, I might be able to help you awaken one!"

"Any information about Heaven Tier Soul Skills will do?"

"Yes, I'll take even just a description of a single Heaven Tier Soul Skill."

Dean Zhou Qingyuan fell silent.

Heaven Tier Soul Skills were extremely rare throughout the history of Martial Souls.

As far as she knew, the people who possessed Heaven Tier Soul Skills were the four deans of The Four Great Academies and the president of the Martial Soul Association.

As for the government, due to confidentiality reasons, she was unaware.

As for those ancient martial arts families, as a dean of a second-rate academy, she had no way of knowing.

A moment later.

"Give me a few days; I will collect them for you!"

For the sake of a Heaven Tier Soul Skill, Dean Zhou Qingyuan decided to give it a try.

"By the way, the eighth floor of the library has a collection of ancient martial arts techniques. You can go take a look if you have time."

"A ninth-tier Soul Saint once said that Soul Skills and martial arts techniques share the same underlying principles!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up instantly.

Ancient martial arts techniques?

This was an unexpected delight.

He had always felt that although the Soul Skill system was powerful, it seemed to be missing something. Perhaps he could find inspiration for a breakthrough from ancient martial arts techniques.

"Alright, I'll go take a look when I have time, and it will also help me prepare for your awakening."

"Hmm, let's leave it at that. Once I've collected the information, I'll find you."

Lin Mo rose to leave, but was called back by Dean Zhou Qingyuan when he reached the door.

He turned his head curiously, only to see Dean Zhou Qingyuan wearing a playful expression.

"By the way, Lin Mo, I'll let it slide this time, but there won't be a next time!"

"As far as I know, Leizi is made of fat and doesn't have meridians for Soul Power to flow through..."

Lin Mo fled in a panic.

The next day.

A group of seven drove into downtown Donghai City.

This was Lin Mo's first time in the city center since arriving in Donghai City.

"Your training task today is to win two consecutive team matches in the arena!"

Teacher An Nuolan's expression was serious.

This was a major matter concerning whether she could earn money to pay off her debts and buy pills for cultivation, so she had to take it seriously.

"Mm-hmm, don't worry, Teacher, it's a guaranteed win!"

Lu Mengmeng patted her chest in assurance.

When it came to fighting, she, Lu Mengmeng, and the boss were both professionals.

Before awakening their Martial Souls, she, Lin Mo, and Da Chun were considered the three tyrants of the First Middle School; even passing dogs would get slapped twice.

It was only after awakening their Martial Souls that they had restrained themselves due to being temporarily at a disadvantage.

Lin Mo was resting with his eyes closed.

Last night, he had awakened another Earth Tier Mid-stage group defense Soul Skill.

It was specifically to deal with today's arena training.

The Martial Soul Arena of Donghai City was built in the city center.

It was constructed entirely of alloy that emitted a blue glow, and from a distance, it looked like a dormant giant beast.

Just as they arrived at the entrance, they heard deafening cheers and the roar of Soul Power collisions from within.

Teacher An Nuolan, familiar with the place, led the group to the Bronze Zone.

She had led several teams before, and usually, they would only be brought to the arena after more than a year of training and bonding.

Bringing Lin Mo's current team here after only a few days of training was a first.

"The team matches here are divided by rank; we will start from the Bronze rank."

Teacher An Nuolan took out five Bronze cards she had prepared earlier.

"These are your arena ID cards. There's no penalty for losing, and you get points for winning. Points can be exchanged for money, soul crystals, Soul Guidance Devices, and cultivation resources."

Lu Mengmeng's eyes lit up. "There are prizes for winning?"

Lin Mo also looked pleasantly surprised.

Linjiang City was only a third-tier base city and didn't have an arena.

Therefore, this was his first time at an arena.

Mu Liuli flipped through the competition manual and frowned slightly. "Although Bronze is the lowest rank, the teams are uneven. Some are just there to grind points, while others are veterans hiding their strength; they won't be easy to deal with."

"That's right. The so-called Bronze rank is only ranked according to points, and these points are divided into team points and individual points."

"According to the arena's classification, 0-1000 is Bronze, 1001-5000 is Silver, and so on..."

"So your opponents might be first or second tier, but it's also possible they are third tier.

However, because of the arena's rules, they won't exceed the fourth tier..."

The hearts of Lin Mo and the other four sank.

They had originally thought that Bronze-rank opponents would only be first or second tier; they didn't expect that third tier was also possible.

"Scared?" Teacher An Nuolan noticed the change in their expressions and raised an eyebrow.

"Scared? How could that be?"

"Exactly, as long as they don't exceed the fourth tier, we aren't afraid."

"I'm not afraid either, as long as Brother Mo is here."

Seeing the three of them so confident, Mu Liuli and Su Xiaoxiao also felt a surge of adrenaline, and a fighting spirit rose in their eyes.

"Hehe, good. Now, give your team a name so I can go register you!"

As soon as the topic of naming came up, Lu Mengmeng became excited.

"I think 'Stirring Stick Squad' sounds pretty good!"

"Hmm... 'Stirring Stick'? The artistic conception is quite good..." Lin Mo stroked his chin, pondering the name.

"No way!"

Mu Liuli and Su Xiaoxiao glared angrily at Lu Mengmeng.

What the hell kind of name is 'Stirring Stick'? Aren't you afraid of getting ambushed after leaving the arena?

They both had a premonition that if the three of them were left to name it, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

So Su Xiaoxiao quickly and timidly suggested, "How about we call it the Mo-Su Squad?"

"I think Liuli Squad is also pretty good."

"Pfft, what kind of names are those? They have zero depth, and they're shameless!" Lu Mengmeng was the first to object.

"Exactly, I think we should just call it the Boiler Combo!"

Even Niu Dachun couldn't stand the two women's shamelessness.

Teacher An Nuolan and Teacher Shen Yao watched the group argue, and could only helplessly cover their foreheads.

This was the result of their bonding period being too short.

"Stop arguing!" Lin Mo interrupted at this moment.

Everyone immediately fell silent.

"This concerns the reputation of our squad, so the name must be something that makes people know it's from our academy as soon as they hear it. It needs to be domineering, yet low-key without losing substance."

"And so?" Teacher An Nuolan and Teacher Shen Yao raised their eyebrows.

"Heh, I think we should call it "Eastern Bully"! What do you think!"

"Hiss..."

All six of them gasped in unison.

With such a villainous name, aren't you afraid of getting the crap beaten out of you?

However, in the end, the Eastern Bully Squad was successfully approved.
