97: Chapter 97 Giving Teammates a Perk

In the small grove where they usually trained.

With a smile on her face, Teacher An Nuolan spoke first, "First of all, congratulations to Teacher Shen for successfully passing the intermediate assessment and officially becoming an intermediate theory tutor! Let's all give her a round of applause!"

"Awoo! Teacher Shen is awesome!"

Lu Mengmeng and Niu Dachun were the first to howl and clap, their palms making a deafening sound.

"Congratulations, Teacher Shen!"

Su Xiaoxiao and Mu Liuli also smiled and congratulated her, their eyes filled with sincerity.

"Not bad, not bad. You have to give us more guidance in the future." Lin Mo also smiled and clapped, his tone teasing.

Teacher Shen Yao was a bit embarrassed by everyone's enthusiasm and waved her hands with a smile, "Hehe, thank you everyone. I was only able to pass this time thanks to Lin Mo's help."

Her gaze swept across the five of them, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes:

"It's only been a few days, but you've all made rapid progress. Especially Student Xiaoxiao, you've already reached Level 20?"

Indeed, with the body tempering pill and soul condensing pill as a foundation, combined with Lin Mo's proper training guidance for the team.

The levels of several members shot up like they were riding a rocket.

Lin Mo had also helped Su Xiaoxiao, Mu Liuli, and Niu Dachun awaken new Soul Skills for free.

The Soul Power of the three broke through Level 20 in one go, and Niu Dachun even rushed to Level 22.

However, the one with the highest Soul Power in the team was still Lu Mengmeng, who was already firmly at Level 27.

If this were to get out, it would probably be deemed unbelievable.

"Alright," Teacher An Nuolan clapped her hands, bringing the topic back, "Student Lin Mo said he wants to give some benefits to his teammates. Let's have him say a few words."

She and Teacher Shen Yao sat down together, their eyes turning to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stood up and pressed his hand down slightly, gesturing for everyone to quiet down:

"Ahem, it's actually no big deal. I just thought, since we're a team, we can't be too pathetic. So, I've decided to share a Soul Power cultivation method for everyone to practice together."

"Cultivation method?" Except for Lu Mengmeng and Niu Dachun, the other four thought they had misheard.

"Wait, Lin Mo, what did you say? You want to give us a Soul Power cultivation method to practice?" Teacher An Nuolan asked, her face full of suspicion.

"That's right, I'm talking about a Soul Power cultivation method."

The four of them were instantly dumbfounded.

They were all ordinary awakened ones without any background.

They had absolutely no way of coming into contact with things like cultivation methods.

Now, Lin Mo was saying he would give them one to practice.

Teacher Shen Yao pushed her glasses up, her voice trembling with disbelief:

"Student Lin Mo, do you know how precious a legitimate Soul Power cultivation method is? Even a technique that can only increase speed by 0.5 times is extremely rare..."

Before she could finish, she saw Lin Mo pull out a stack of bound booklets from his storage soul guidance device.

He casually handed it to Teacher An Nuolan, who was closest, "Take a look. This 'Basic Soul Condensing Method 1.0' is compatible with all Martial Soul attributes and can increase Soul Power cultivation speed by three times. It will be our team's basic technique from now on."

Although this cultivation method was not the same one Lu Mengmeng and Niu Dachun practiced, they shared the same origin, and their cores were largely the same.

"Th-three times speed?" The moment Teacher An Nuolan's fingers touched the manuscript, she froze as if under a binding spell, her eyes widening larger than copper bells.

In all her years of teaching, the best technique she had ever seen was only 1.2 times speed, and it was a rare copy treasured by the academy, which only those who had made huge contributions to the academy were qualified to borrow.

But now, a three-times-speed cultivation method was just casually taken out by Lin Mo?

Teacher Shen Yao hurriedly leaned in and flipped through it quickly with Teacher An Nuolan.

After confirming that the technique was definitely not fake, she couldn't help but ask in a trembling voice, "S-Student Lin Mo, did you create this yourself?"

It was no wonder she guessed this way—with the knowledge Lin Mo had shown, it was indeed possible.

"Don't worry, it's just some basic stuff. Make do with it for now."

Lin Mo waved his hand and added, "I've recently picked up some new clues from ancient texts. Maybe in a while, I can come up with a method to cultivate Soul Power, physical body, and mental strength all in one."

"Cultivating Soul Power, physical body, and mental strength all in one?" Teacher Shen Yao's glasses almost slid off the bridge of her nose.

She quickly adjusted her frames, her voice carrying an unbelievable fanaticism.

"This is impossible... From ancient times to the present, no one has ever been able to balance all three! Soul Power emphasizes restraint, physical body requires externalization, and mental strength is even more ethereal. The three are fundamentally contradictory!"

Teacher An Nuolan also put down the booklet, her brow furrowing deeply, "Lin Mo, do you know what you are saying? A problem that countless masters have spent their entire lives failing to solve, you..."

"How do we know it won't work if we don't try?" Lin Mo interrupted her, his eyes shining. "They are all different forms of energy. Since they can influence each other, there must be a way to integrate them."

Is this the brainpower of a monstrous genius?

It really isn't something ordinary people can understand...

Everyone secretly clicked their tongues in wonder.

"Just practice it," Lu Mengmeng spoke up to interrupt the tutors' doubts, raising her chin. "Look at me and Da Chun. We've been practicing the technique Boss gave us, and nothing's wrong at all!"

"So that's how it is..." Teacher An Nuolan and Teacher Shen Yao exchanged a look, finally coming to a realization.

No wonder Lu Mengmeng and Niu Dachun's Martial Souls weren't top-tier, yet their cultivation speed was shockingly fast. This was the root cause.

"Alright, you guys figure it out first. I'm going to the Dean's office." Lin Mo put away his smile.

He had just received a call from the Dean, saying that the things he wanted were ready.

"Alright, go ahead!"

Teacher An Nuolan and Teacher Shen Yao could no longer hold back. They picked up the booklet to verify its authenticity, their voices filled with urgency.

More than ten minutes later, Lin Mo arrived at the Dean's office.

"How is it? Are these books useful to you?"

Dean Zhou Qingyuan watched him flip through the ancient texts and materials she had gone to great lengths to obtain from the Martial Arts Association, and couldn't help but ask eagerly.

"Yeah, they're alright, somewhat useful."

Lin Mo nodded as he flipped through them.

The information on these Heaven-tier Soul Skills was indeed inspiring to him.

"It's good that they're useful. It was worth owing so many favors." Dean Zhou Qingyuan let out a sigh of relief.

For the sake of the Heaven-tier Soul Skill Lin Mo mentioned, she had used every connection she could.

Just to gamble on a Heaven-tier Soul Skill.

Although, she still had a trace of doubt in her heart.

Lin Mo looked at her for a moment, then suddenly raised his head, "By the way, what is your Martial Soul again?"

Dean Zhou Qingyuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, "So last time, you were only focused on taking advantage of me?"

"Ahem, don't worry about those details."

Lin Mo coughed twice and said seriously, "Actually, I already have the basic theory for the Heaven-tier Soul Skill. If all goes well, I might be able to help you awaken it."

Hearing this, Dean Zhou Qingyuan's breath suddenly caught, an unbelievable light flashing in her eyes.

"Are you serious?!"

"Why would I lie to you?" Lin Mo's expression was extremely serious.

"However... you also need to be mentally prepared. Heaven-tier Soul Skills are not as simple as Earth-tier ones, and the cost and resources required cannot be compared."

Dean Zhou Qingyuan's face also turned serious.

"Cost and resources..."
