94: Chapter 94 Fallen Angel Beast Martial Soul

Everyone held their breath.

Watching the mass of black Soul Power behind Lu Qingqing slowly condense into the form of a Martial Soul.

A powerful wave of innate Soul Power rippled outward, causing everyone present to feel a slight tremor in their hearts, as if the very air was weighed down by this force.

"This Soul Power fluctuation... I feel like it's at least double-S rank or above!" Excitement gleamed in Commander Lin Yaqin's eyes, her voice trembling slightly.

"Indeed, it's absolutely a Martial Soul of double-S rank or higher!" Lu Jianjie nodded in agreement, his cheeks twitching slightly, unable to hide his excitement.

How could they not be thrilled when their own child possessed such incredible talent?

"Huh? This Martial Soul... looks like a little bird with four wings?" Lu Mengmeng blinked her large, watery eyes, sizing it up with curiosity.

"Get out of here, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" Lin Mo rolled his eyes at her.

His gaze then locked tightly onto the gradually forming Martial Soul, a faint sense of familiarity rising in his heart.

When Lu Qingqing's Martial Soul fully condensed and took shape, Lu Jianjie was the first to cry out in surprise:

"Heavens! Is... is this a Body Martial Soul?"

"It looks like one, but not quite," Commander Lin Yaqin rejected the idea with a frown. "How could there be a Body Martial Soul with four wings?"

A flash of surprise crossed Lin Mo's eyes as he slowly spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the SSS-rank Beast Martial Soul, 'Fallen Angel Beast', and a four-winged one at that."

"An SSS-rank... Fallen Angel Beast Martial Soul?"

The four members of the Lu Family were instantly stunned, their faces painted with utter disbelief.

Lu Jianjie scratched his head, his face full of suspicion. "How is that possible? Aren't Angel Beast Martial Souls always golden? Look at my daughter's wings—they're pitch black, like they've been dipped in ink. It doesn't look like one at all."

He was right. Many people in the West had indeed awakened Angel Beast Martial Souls, and every single one of them was dazzlingly golden and incredibly holy.

But this Martial Soul before them was pitch black all over, with a dark purple halo shimmering along the edges of its wings, exuding an aura of wicked charm no matter how one looked at it.

What made him even more suspicious was that, according to Lin Mo's previous theoretical analysis, even if his daughter's Martial Soul mutated, it should have been a Plant-type. How did it suddenly become a Beast Martial Soul?

Thinking of this, Lu Jianjie couldn't help but cast a suspicious glance at Commander Lin Yaqin—could it be...

"Old Lu, why are you looking at me like that?" How sharp was Commander Lin Yaqin? She immediately noticed his off-look, and her expression darkened. "Are you thinking about something ridiculous?"

"N-nothing..." Lu Jianjie hurriedly averted his gaze. Though he denied it, the clouds of suspicion in his heart only grew heavier.

He could only look at Lin Mo, hoping he could provide an explanation.

Lin Mo pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "It should be correct. It's mainly due to the difference in attributes. I mentioned before that Qingqing inherited too many of Aunt Lin's attributes. Combined with the magical properties of the Four-Leaf Clover, it's not surprising for her Martial Soul to mutate from a Plant-type to a Beast Martial Soul."

Indeed, Commander Lin Yaqin's Shadow Leopard Martial Soul had a very large proportion of the dark attribute.

Hearing this, the heavy stone in Lu Jianjie's heart finally thudded to the ground, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, he had just been overthinking.

Lu Qingqing blinked, looking at the majestic pair of black wings behind her, still unable to believe it. "So... I'm now a genius with an SSS-rank Martial Soul?"

She was supposed to be a support Awakener, so how did she suddenly become the owner of a top-tier Martial Soul?

The transition came so quickly that she was momentarily dazed.

Lin Mo smiled and nodded. "Not just a genius, but a monster with limitless potential."

"And if I'm not mistaken, one of your innate Soul Skills must be a Flying Soul Skill."

Lu Qingqing was stunned. She quickly immersed her consciousness to check her innate Soul Skill.

A moment later, her eyes snapped open, filled with shock.

"There really is one!"

The female angel beast with black wings, black armor, and a black mask behind her suddenly merged into her body.

Then, four illusory black wings sprouted from Lu Qingqing's back, flapping gently and stirring up a cool breeze.

When Lu Qingqing looked at Lin Mo again, there was no longer any of her previous suspicion.

Only shock and adoration remained.

This Lin Mo was simply too incredible...

Before, she had been incredibly envious of those students who could receive guidance from Master Yu.

Now it seemed that Master Yu was absolutely nothing compared to Lin Mo.

"Alright, for now, get familiar with your new Martial Soul first before we talk about awakening Soul Skills."

Lin Mo stood with his hands behind his back, enjoying the shocked and worshipful looks from the four members of the Lu Family.

Due to the mutation of her Martial Soul, Lu Qingqing's previous Soul Skills were basically rendered useless.

Her Soul Power had also dropped from level 32 to level 30.

However, in front of an SSS-rank Martial Soul, everything was worth it.

After sending Lu Mengmeng and Lu Qingqing back to their rooms,

only Lin Mo, Father Lu, and Mother Lu remained in the living room.

"Little Mo,"

Lu Jianjie rubbed his hands together, his tone filled with gratitude. "Your aunt and I really don't know how to thank you. Just say the word—whatever you want, as long as I can do it, just ask."

"Yes, Little Mo," Commander Lin Yaqin also nodded with a smile, looking at Lin Mo with growing fondness. "There's no need to be polite with us."

"Then I'll speak frankly."

Lin Mo didn't beat around the bush either. "To be honest, Uncle, Aunt, I actually do have something I'd like your help with."

"Just say it!" Lu Jianjie patted his chest and guaranteed.

Lin Mo nodded, raising his hand to dump something out of his storage soul guidance device.

With a clatter, a pile of electronic components gleaming with a metallic luster piled up beside the coffee table.

There were twisted circuit boards and rusted microchips; though they looked like a pile of scrap, they carried a faint, unusual texture.

"This is..." Father Lu and Mother Lu exchanged a glance, both of them stunned.

"These are components I scavenged from the Wasteland Secret Realm," Lin Mo explained. "I heard that many tech companies are buying these, so I wanted to trouble you, Uncle, to help me sell them."

"What? Electronic components from the Wasteland Secret Realm?"

Lu Jianjie suddenly stood up, his calm expression vanishing instantly as his voice rose a few pitches.

Commander Lin Yaqin also quickly walked over and picked up a mecha circuit board covered in dense wiring. Running her fingertips over the complex patterns, her gaze became exceptionally serious.

*Gulp...* Lu Jianjie swallowed hard, leaning in to examine them closely. "Little Mo, these... were they really all brought out from the Wasteland Secret Realm?"

Lin Mo was instead a bit puzzled by their reaction. "Yes, why? Is there something wrong with these components?"

"More than just something wrong, it's a massive deal! You've done me a huge favor!" Lu Jianjie rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"You have no idea how important this stuff is to us!"

Lin Mo became even more confused.

Commander Lin Yaqin set down the circuit board and explained with a smile:

"Little Mo, you might not know this, but the Lu Family's main industry is in the electronics field. It's just that we haven't had a technological breakthrough in recent years, so the business has long been in decline. These components you brought might just help us find a new breakthrough."

Following that, Lin Mo learned the details from the two of them.

Lu Jianjie had stayed in Linjiang City for the past few years specifically for the Wasteland Secret Realm.

"When this secret realm was first discovered, someone brought out a few civilian-grade electronic components," Lu Jianjie recalled.

"Just those few little things allowed the technology of several companies to leap forward. Back then, so many enterprises were keeping a close eye on this place, but even after guarding it for so many years, until the secret realm opened to the public recently, I couldn't get my hands on even a few intact ones."

"You've heard of the iphone 4 phone released by iPhon Tech in the United States recently, right?" He shifted the topic.

"I've heard a bit about it," Lin Mo nodded. "I heard it's claimed to be an epoch-making product."

For mobile phones of this era, which could only make calls, read the news, and play Tetris,

the iphone 4 was indeed epoch-making.

But to Lin Mo, who had witnessed the golden age of smartphones, it was merely a transitional product.

"Sigh, that was developed using a component leaked from the Wasteland Secret Realm," Lu Jianjie sighed softly. "It became a global sensation even before going on sale."

Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat. *Someone has already sold quite a few electronic components?*

No wonder he couldn't find much in those ruins back then; it turned out someone had already looted them.

"But now it's fine!" Lu Jianjie slapped his thigh hard, his eyes shining as he pointed at the pile of components. "With these high-integrity components of yours, we can easily create something far better than the iphone 4 in no time!"

Lin Mo, however, scratched his head in embarrassment:

"Um... Uncle Lu, I might have to disappoint you, but these seem to be military-grade components..."
