Chapter 119: Mediocrity Means Not Daring to Cause Trouble; Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai Get Thrashed
Hearing this, Xiao Wu bared her teeth and glared at Lin Mo.
"Lin Mo, you should call me Sister Xiao Wu!"
Lin Mo smiled and shook his head, but did not respond further.
Seeing this, Xiao Wu did not dwell on the matter of address anymore and asked directly, "Lin Mo, what are you doing here this time?"
As Xiao Wu finished speaking, Tang San's gaze also fell on Lin Mo. His eyes flickered slightly, and his lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing.
Because of that incident back then, the relationship between Lin Mo and Tang San had never been good.
Compared to Tang San, Lin Mo was actually much more familiar with Xiao Wu.
Lin Mo looked at Xiao Wu and said calmly, "What else would I be here for? My spirit power has reached a bottleneck, so I need a spirit ring to break through. That's why I came to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts."
His answer was direct, without the slightest concealment.
Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Wu's face faded quite a bit.
She pursed her lips, and her voice unconsciously lowered by several degrees. "Is it... impossible not to hunt Spirit Beasts?"
Lin Mo shook his head firmly.
"No." His voice remained calm. "For a Spirit Master to break through a bottleneck, they must rely on spirit rings produced by Spirit Beasts. This is the rule, and there is no way around it."
He looked at Xiao Wu and could not help shaking his head.
This little rabbit's thoughts were still so naive.
Unless a method that could completely replace spirit rings was found, as long as the profession of Spirit Master existed, Spirit Beasts would never escape the fate of being hunted.
Even if later generations developed Spirit Souls that could replace spirit rings to a certain extent, as long as the thirst for power remained, the Spirit Beast race would still inevitably face decline and extinction.
These thoughts flashed through Lin Mo's mind, but he did not say them aloud.
The conversation between Lin Mo and Xiao Wu soon drew dissatisfaction from the others nearby.
Ma Hongjun had long since grown impatient.
He crossed his arms and looked at Lin Mo with a face full of disdain, his tone extremely rude. "Hey, are you done talking or not? Why exactly are you here?"
"If you've got nothing to do, then hurry up and beat it. Can't you see we still need to continue teaching this old turtle a lesson?"
Hearing the words "old turtle," Ye Zhiqiu's face instantly darkened.
As the possessor of the Black Tortoise Spirit, what he hated most in his life was people calling him a turtle.
However, before Lin Mo could respond, Ma Hongjun's gaze involuntarily drifted toward Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Because they were a few years older than Ning Rongrong and the others, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had already shed their youthful innocence. Their figures were slender, their looks outstanding, and they carried the unique aura of girls born into great families, making them stand out exceptionally in the crowd.
This made Ma Hongjun's eyes, which had seen plenty in pleasure houses, instantly light up. He licked his lips, an oily smile spreading across his face as he spoke in an extremely frivolous tone.
"Yo, I didn't expect to run into such beautiful chicks here. What, are you here with this pretty boy?"
"Can he handle the two of you by himself? Why not let Lord Fatty here..."
Bang!
Before Ma Hongjun could finish speaking, a muffled explosion suddenly rang out in the clearing.
Lin Mo's figure seemed to blur for an instant. No one even saw how he moved before Ma Hongjun's fat body was already flying backward.
Like a torn sack thrown to the ground, he slammed heavily onto the earth several meters away, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The flames that had just ignited around him vanished in an instant, leaving only a very clear, charred footprint on his chest. It looked especially ironic.
Everyone froze.
No one had expected Lin Mo to strike so suddenly, nor had they expected his speed to be so fast.
"Fatty!"
Dai Mubai was the first to react. His face darkened instantly, and rage surged in his heart.
He took a step forward, and his White Tiger Spirit instantly completed its possession. White fur covered his body, and two yellow and one purple spirit rings beneath his feet shone brightly.
He glared at Lin Mo with furious tiger eyes. "Kid, are you looking for death? How dare you hit my brother!"
Dai Mubai glanced at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, his tone becoming even more disdainful. "Wasn't it just a few words? They're just two women. Never mind that Fatty was only running his mouth, even if he really did something, so what?"
"Mediocrity means not daring to cause trouble. Did you really think we were afraid of you?"
"Third Spirit Ability, White Tiger Vajra Transformation!"
"First Spirit Ability, White Tiger Protection Barrier!"
He had been in a terrible mood recently after being repeatedly rebuffed by Zhu Zhuqing, and he had nowhere to vent his frustration.
Now that he had seen his brother being struck by Lin Mo, Dai Mubai naturally felt that he could not preserve his face if he did nothing.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dai Mubai directly used the two transformations he was most familiar with stacking. The white light around him intensified, and his aura surged.
His tiger claws carried a sharp whistle as they tore straight toward Lin Mo's face.
However, facing the aggressive Dai Mubai, Lin Mo only raised his right fist calmly.
Scorching Dragon Flame clung to the surface of his fist, emitting a heart-palpitating heat.
He did not dodge. He simply punched straight out.
Fist and claw collided.
Boom!
The ferocity on Dai Mubai's face instantly froze, turning into disbelief.
He only felt an enormous force carrying a highly penetrating, scorching breath easily tear through his White Tiger Protection Barrier.
"You...!"
Dai Mubai was both shocked and furious. Just as he was about to activate another Spirit Ability to counterattack, Lin Mo followed like a shadow and closed in again.
A left punch struck his abdomen, and a right palm slapped across his cheek.
Snap! Bang!
Dai Mubai was left dazed by the two blows. His body flipped through the air before slamming heavily beside Ma Hongjun, kicking up another cloud of dust.
The entire field fell dead silent.
In just two moves, both of them had been defeated.
Lin Mo shook his wrist, and the Dragon Flame slowly receded.
He looked at Ma Hongjun groaning on the ground, then at Dai Mubai struggling to get up. His voice was calm, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
"Running his mouth? So what if he really did something? Mediocrity means not daring to cause trouble?"
He took a step forward and stepped on Dai Mubai's chest, his blood and qi faintly surging.
Seeing these two consistently put into practice the ridiculous code of conduct taught by their academy, even Lin Mo, who usually had a fairly good temper, almost laughed from anger.
He knew that some among the original Shrek Seven Devils did not exactly have upright characters, but seeing them today, he realized they could truly act like thugs.
How was this style of conduct any different from street hooligans?
If not for their better talent and the backing behind them, they would probably have been ambushed and beaten to death long ago.
A deathly silence filled the area.
The others from Shrek Academy widened their eyes, their faces filled with shock.
Oscar was the first to react, hurriedly chanting, "I have a Big Sausage!"
Amid that strange Spirit Incantation, light flashed in his hand. He quickly condensed two Big Recovery Sausages, preparing to throw them to the injured Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai.
"Let's see who dares to move!"
A female voice tinged with anger rang out.
Dugu Yan took a step forward, blocking the path between Oscar and Ma Hongjun's group.
Although she felt a slight regret that she had not been able to strike personally, seeing Lin Mo decisively deal with these two still made her feel secretly pleased.
This showed that her weight in Lin Mo's heart was not light.
