To everyone’s surprise, Lin Mo did not immediately answer the question.
Instead, he turned to look at Zhang Kai and Jing Hongchen, as if wanting these two acquaintances to help him make a decision.
When Zhang Kai and Jing Hongchen saw Lin Mo’s gaze turn to them, they couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Kong Deming was taking a disciple; this was not something they could interfere with.
Even though their status and position in the Sun Moon Empire were not low, in front of Kong Deming, they were just juniors.
When Kong Deming announced he was taking a disciple, there was no room for them to interject.
“Xiao Mo, this is Elder Kong, the most powerful Soul Engineer within our Sun Moon Empire. He wants to take you as a disciple, so hurry and agree!” Jing Hongchen said, constantly winking at Lin Mo.
He signaled him to agree quickly.
“Greetings, Master!” Knowing the identity of the person, Lin Mo had nothing to hesitate about.
Isn’t this why he came here?
It’s good to lean on a big tree for shade!
He knelt on the ground, respectfully performing the disciple-acknowledgment ceremony to Kong Deming.
“Good, good, good. From today onwards, you are my closed-door disciple, Kong Deming’s!” Kong Deming stroked his beard as he stepped forward to help Lin Mo up.
He seemed to be in a very good mood.
“Congratulations, Elder Kong!” Jing Hongchen and Zhang Kai said simultaneously.
“Let’s go. There should be equipment inside Mingde Hall to measure your specific body data. And we can also see just how outstanding my disciple’s talent is!” Kong Deming pulled Lin Mo, leaving the trial grounds.
Under Jing Hongchen’s lead, everyone arrived at a physical examination room.
In the empty room, only one spirit tool stood isolated in the center of the room.
Zhang Kai did not follow, wisely finding an excuse to leave first.
This spirit tool was a long cylinder, with a crystal column running from top to bottom on its front, and a circular platform on the ground in front of it.
It was the same type of spirit tool that Huo Yuhao and his companions used for their entrance physical examination in the original work, except that the one Huo Yuhao and his companions used for testing was only a Level 6 spirit tool. This chapter is updated first at NovelPing.
This one, however, was a Level 8 spirit tool, exclusively for members of Mingde Hall.
“Good disciple, step on it,” Kong Deming said.
“Okay.” Lin Mo obediently followed Kong Deming’s command, walked onto the circular platform, and stood firm.
This instrument was two and a half meters tall, and Lin Mo, who was a little over one meter thirty-four, looked small and empty standing on it.
Under Jing Hongchen’s control, a white light lit up at the top of the instrument, covering an area of about one square meter, slowly descending from top to bottom.
“Relax, don’t be nervous,” Jing Hongchen said, comforting Lin Mo as he watched his slightly trembling legs.
The white light slowly scanned from top to bottom, not quickly, and it took a while to reach Lin Mo’s chest.
On the other side, although he had long suspected Lin Mo’s physical qualities, Jing Hongchen was still greatly shocked when he personally measured them.
He slowly reported the data recorded by the instrument:
“spirit power fluctuation, Level 12; mental force intensity, Level 31; body strength, Level 38; body resilience, Level 40.”
Although everyone present had already made their guesses, seeing these values firsthand was another matter entirely.
Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen on the side somewhat understood why they had lost so badly.
Their physical qualities were completely suppressed.
After they obtained their second spirit ring, they had used this instrument to measure their own physical qualities.
The results showed that all values, except for mental force, slightly exceeded their spirit power level by about three to five levels, which was already quite good among Soul Engineers.
But compared to Lin Mo, they were completely crushed.
“Teacher, is my mental force a bit weak?” Lin Mo asked in a weak voice, raising his hand as he stepped down from the circular platform.
Kong Deming slowly walked up to Lin Mo, rubbed his head with his large hand, and said with a benevolent expression, “It’s not weak. The mental force intensity of an ordinary Spirit Master is usually similar to their spirit power cultivation. The data provided by this machine uses the mental force intensity of a Mental System Spirit Master as a reference. Your mental force intensity is already astonishing.”
Kong Deming’s satisfaction with Lin Mo’s mental force intensity even surpassed his satisfaction with his physical qualities.
Physical qualities can still be improved by consuming some rare treasures; it can be said that many external objects are of great help in improving physical qualities.
However, if one wants to rely on external objects to improve mental force, one can only rely on one’s own opportunities.
Such rare treasures that can enhance mental force are extremely rare and rarely circulate outside.
For Soul Engineers, mental force intensity is much more important than physical qualities. Follow the newest chapters on g.com.
Strong mental force offers a significant advantage in both the creation and use of spirit tools.
The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has always wanted to recruit some Mental Attribute Spirit Masters to learn and create spirit tools.
However, the Spirit Masters of the Sun Moon Empire have not developed as well as those of the Original Douluo Three Kingdoms, and the Mental Attribute Spirit Masters they can recruit are basically those with extremely weak talent.
Their cultivation is at best around four or five rings, making them of little use.
For Lin Mo, not being a Mental Attribute Spirit Master yet possessing such powerful mental force far exceeded Kong Deming’s expectations.
His powerful mental force will give Lin Mo a great innate advantage in the process of learning and using spirit tools in the future.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you back to the Hall of Offerings first, and I’ll give you some gifts for becoming my disciple,” Kong Deming said, then left Mingde Hall with Lin Mo.
No one in the Sun Moon Empire dared to monitor him yet.
Only a few people were left stunned.
Jing Hongchen sternly warned his grandson and granddaughter, “You are not allowed to tell outsiders about today’s events, do you understand? That includes the abilities Xiao Mo displayed during your sparring; you cannot tell outsiders about them.”
“Yes,” Meng and Xiao both nodded.
“But, Grandpa…” However, Xiao Hongchen still couldn’t suppress the question in his heart and couldn’t help but ask, “Is Body Martial Soul really that powerful? Or is my talent just too poor?”
The proud young man, for the first time, doubted whether his talent was truly as exceptional as others said.
If it was true, then why did he lose so badly today to a One-Ring Spirit Master?
Even when he and his sister fought together, they couldn’t defeat that One-Ring Spirit Master.
One must know that his and Meng’s spirit power was a full ten levels higher than the opponent’s!
“It’s not that Body Martial Soul is too powerful, nor is your talent too weak. A normal Body Martial Soul, even the Body Sect Sect Master Du Bu Si, at his level, definitely doesn’t have such absurd strength. It’s that boy’s talent is too heaven-defying. His ability to summon a Spirit Beast to transform into a great sword, if I’m not mistaken, should be the ability of his other Spirit. This boy should have twin spirits; it’s just unknown whether this boy’s second Spirit is complete or incomplete. If it’s incomplete, I don’t know if there will be a way to remedy it in the future.”
Jing Hongchen slowly stated his guess regarding Lin Mo’s Spirit situation.
As for how he guessed Lin Mo’s potentially hidden second Spirit, it was simple: spatial fluctuations.
