Chapter 109: Bibi Dong
After obtaining his fourth spirit ring and successfully acquiring the Spirit Ability "Space Battlefield," Lin Mo was extremely satisfied and prepared to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, before leaving, he carefully inspected the Thorn Dragon's corpse again. To his slight regret, he did not find any Spirit Bone.
After storing the corpse inside the Wishful Hundred Treasure Purse, Lin Mo left the Star Dou Great Forest together with Dugu Bo.
However, on the journey back, Lin Mo felt somewhat depressed.
This time, after absorbing a genuine ten thousand year spirit ring, the increase in spirit power it brought him was not as large as he had expected.
According to his own perception, his spirit power had only risen by about one and a half Ranks, from the Rank 40 Bottleneck to roughly the middle stage of Rank 41.
It had not directly increased by two Ranks like when he absorbed his previous three spirit rings.
"It seems that after Rank 40, increasing spirit power really isn't that easy."
Lin Mo could not help muttering in a low voice.
He could not help thinking of Tang San's situation when he absorbed spirit rings above his level.
Back then, when Tang San absorbed his fourth spirit ring, he had also absorbed a ten thousand year spirit ring, but after the absorption, his spirit power seemed to have only reached Rank 41.
It was only when Tang San obtained Xiao Wu's sacrifice as his sixth spirit ring, gaining a hundred thousand year Spirit Beast ring in advance, that his spirit power rose by five or six Ranks at once.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo could not help shaking his head.
He did not have a hundred thousand year Spirit Beast girlfriend willing to sacrifice herself, so that path was clearly not viable.
Meanwhile, just as Lin Mo and Dugu Bo left the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to Heaven Dou City, in the Supreme Pontiff Palace of Spirit Hall.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan stood respectfully below, reporting to Bibi Dong, who sat upon the Supreme Pontiff's throne.
"Your Holiness, not long ago, this subordinate discovered that She Long secretly returned to headquarters and retrieved the file of a Spirit Master named Lin Mo."
On the throne, Bibi Dong held her scepter, her expression indifferent.
Upon hearing the name "Lin Mo," her calm expression finally showed a slight fluctuation.
"Lin Mo?"
She seemed to have some impression of the name.
"Bring me the information She Long retrieved."
"Yes."
Yue Guan immediately presented a copy of the document.
Bibi Dong quickly flipped through it.
After a rough browse, she finally remembered that she had indeed seen this child's record before.
Innate spirit power Rank 6. His Spirit had initially been an egg, but later mutated into an External Beast Martial Soul named Charmander.
At that time, the mutation process of this Martial Soul had indeed sparked a little interest in her.
Because of Yu Xiaogang, she had always paid slightly more attention to Martial Soul Mutation, especially beneficial mutations of this kind.
However, she had soon lost interest in continuing to follow the matter.
The reason was simple. Lin Mo's cultivation at that time was too low. He was merely a Spirit Master with only a dozen or so Ranks.
In her view, an incidental case of Spirit Mutation in a low level Spirit Master did not possess much research value.
Waiting for him to grow would take who knew how long. Judging by the current time, his cultivation was probably only at the second or third ring.
But now, looking at the document in her hand, Bibi Dong's slender brows furrowed slightly.
"The information here is from several years ago?"
Her voice carried a trace of chill.
"His spirit power Rank is only recorded up to Rank 17. What about his subsequent progress?"
Yue Guan hurriedly bowed and replied, "Replying to Your Holiness, when Spirit Masters collect subsidies at Spirit Hall, the information in their Spirit Master handbook is synchronized with headquarters."
"This record only updates to the first month or two after Lin Mo collected his subsidy in Heaven Dou City."
"After that, he seems to have never gone to any Spirit Hall branch to collect Spirit Master subsidies again."
"Therefore, the information at headquarters has remained frozen at that time."
Bibi Dong's fingers tapped lightly against her scepter.
Heaven Dou City.
Snake Lance Douluo She Long had specifically returned to headquarters to retrieve the file of a low cultivation Spirit Master from several years ago.
A flash of understanding crossed her eyes.
She Long was Qian Renxue's personal guard. To a large extent, his actions also represented Qian Renxue's intentions.
"It seems she is the one who has become interested in him."
Bibi Dong's voice held no discernible emotion.
Yue Guan stood below with a cautious expression, not daring to respond.
When it came to matters between Her Holiness and the Young Lord of Spirit Hall, he, as a subordinate, truly should not speak too much. Nor did he have the standing to interrupt.
After a while, Yue Guan cautiously asked, "Your Holiness, does this subordinate need to personally go to Heaven Dou City and investigate Lin Mo's current situation?"
"This subordinate is confident in finding out his current status without alerting anyone."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong waved her hand, her tone indifferent.
"No need."
She casually tossed the document in her hand aside.
"Since she has already noticed him, there is no need for me to intervene."
Her gaze drifted into the distance.
"She is her, and I am me. What she wants to do is her business."
"As for me, I only need to manage my Spirit Hall well."
Yue Guan was silent for a moment, then lowered his head deeply.
"Yes. This subordinate understands."
On the other side, Lin Mo and Dugu Bo traveled quickly. Before long, they returned to Heaven Dou City and went straight to the Ye Family Medical Hall.
In the backyard of the Medical Hall, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had already been waiting.
Seeing Lin Mo return safely, both of them clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
Dugu Yan stepped forward quickly, her green eyes full of curiosity.
"Lin Mo, what exactly is the Fourth Spirit Ability you obtained this time? Hurry and show us!"
Although Ye Lingling did not speak, her purple eyes immediately looked over as well, carrying the same anticipation.
Looking at their gazes, then at Ye Linyuan, who was smiling nearby, Lin Mo suddenly felt as if he had become a lab rat under observation.
He smiled helplessly.
"Alright, I'll demonstrate it again."
With a thought, red light flashed, and Charmeleon appeared in the center of the courtyard.
Without wasting words, the black spirit ring beneath Charmeleon's feet suddenly lit up.
Invisible spatial fluctuations instantly spread outward, covering most of the backyard.
Space Battlefield, expand!
The next moment, Charmeleon vanished from where it stood without warning.
Almost at the same time, it appeared in another corner of the courtyard, opened its mouth, and released a stream of scorching flames toward an empty patch of ground.
Just as everyone's gaze was drawn by the flames, Charmeleon's figure blurred again and instantly reappeared beside Dugu Yan.
Its Dragon Claw, covered in a metallic luster, swept out.
Of course, before it touched Dugu Yan, it had already withdrawn all its force, leaving only a light tap.
That was not all.
Silver light flashed in Lin Mo's eyes, and his figure appeared behind Ye Lingling without warning, like a ghost. He raised his hand and lightly patted her shoulder.
When Ye Lingling turned around, Lin Mo had already returned to his original position.
Throughout the entire process, within the range of Space Battlefield, the figures of Lin Mo and Charmeleon were elusive and unpredictable, continuously performing several irregular Teleportations. It was enough to make one's eyes blur.
After the demonstration ended, Charmeleon dispersed the Spirit Ability, and the spatial fluctuations in the courtyard also subsided.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan both had their mouths slightly open, their faces still carrying lingering shock.
"This... this Spirit Ability..."
Dugu Yan blinked, momentarily not knowing how to describe it.
Ye Linyuan's face revealed a look of admiration.
"Your luck is truly extraordinary. To obtain such a top grade Spirit Ability from your fourth spirit ring."
"A spatial Teleportation ability, and one that can be used continuously. Whether for self-preservation or actual combat, its value is simply too great."
