Before long, Lin Mo followed Kong Deming to the Sun Moon Empire’s Hall of Offerings.
In terms of architectural scale, it was much grander than the Mingde Hall where Lin Mo had just been.
This was normal; after all, this was the Sun Moon Empire’s Hall of Offerings, and only Soul Engineers above rank nine could stay here.
It could be said that this was the most core place in the Sun Moon Empire.
If he hadn’t become Kong Deming’s disciple, Lin Mo would have had to wait until his Soul Engineer cultivation reached rank nine before he could come here.
There were no exceptions.
Lin Mo was led by Kong Deming to a room in the Hall of Offerings, which seemed to be a private room.
After placing Lin Mo on the sofa, Kong Deming pulled over a chair and sat opposite Lin Mo, looking at him with a benevolent expression.
The two fell into silence for a moment, and finally, Kong Deming was the first to break it.
“Xiao Mo, I’ll call you that for now,” Kong Deming said slowly.
“You should still be hiding other things from me, shouldn’t you? Regarding your Talent, it shouldn’t just be what you showed just now, right?”
Kong Deming’s words stirred up a thousand waves in Lin Mo’s calm heart.
Lin Mo’s expression changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted and said softly, “Teacher, I wonder what part you are referring to?”
Since he had already decided to expose his Talent as a bargaining chip, Lin Mo naturally had nothing to hesitate about; he just wasn’t sure what Kong Deming wanted to know.
Kong Deming’s slightly cloudy eyes stared at Lin Mo, and he said, word by word, “Regarding your Spirit, you are still hiding something about your Spirit.”
Hearing Kong Deming’s words, Lin Mo’s body trembled.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, “Teacher, I can tell you, but no one else should know about this, right? It’s not that I deliberately want to hide it; it’s just that the characteristics of my Spirit, once exposed, are too easy to cause misunderstandings from others.”
Hearing Lin Mo’s words, a smile bloomed on Kong Deming’s old face, and he said, “Don’t worry, this is my room. Even the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire wouldn’t dare to eavesdrop on me. Just speak boldly.”
As the number one person in the Sun Moon Empire, even the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire would not easily offend him.
“Then I’ll speak, Teacher, you need to be mentally prepared…” Lin Mo said cautiously, looking at Kong Deming’s expression.
“Speak!” Even Kong Deming was now piqued with curiosity by Lin Mo.
“My Spirit not only has two attributes, water and lightning, but the two attributes of my Spirit seem to be more powerful than normal attributes,” Lin Mo said slowly.
“I already knew that; I clearly felt it when I watched you spar with those two little ones. Your Spirit should be an ultimate Spirit, with the water attribute being ultimate, and the lightning attribute also seemingly close to ultimate. I really don’t know how you managed to do it. If it weren’t for your remarkably strong physical fitness, even if you awakened these two attributes, your body wouldn’t be able to withstand it,” Kong Deming sighed.
Without sufficiently strong physical fitness as support, a Spirit Master who has just awakened their Spirit cannot support ultimate attributes.
This is the main reason why the number of ultimate Spirits is scarce.
For normal Spirit Masters, their bodies find it difficult to bear that ultimate power.
Kong Deming was not surprised by Lin Mo’s physical fitness; or rather, for Kong Deming, it was normal for Lin Mo to possess such physical fitness.
The amplification of physical fitness by a Body Martial Soul inherently far exceeds that of other Spirits.
What’s more, Lin Mo awakened an unprecedented Body Martial Soul with ultimate attributes, which brought even greater amplification to his physical fitness.
This is also why Lin Mo was able to suppress Xiao and Meng in their fight.
The current Sect Master of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si, is able to possess such a terrifying spirit ring configuration, three red spirit rings, which is inseparable from the amplification of physical fitness by the Body Martial Soul.
“Besides this, there’s also…” Lin Mo continued, but he looked conflicted, unsure whether he should keep speaking.
Seeing this, Kong Deming reached out with his large hands, stroked Lin Mo’s head, and said softly, “I’ve learned a bit about your background from Zhang Kai. Both your parents died in an attack launched by a Sea Soul Beast. In the future, if you have the chance, you might be able to avenge them. And now, since you and I have become master and disciple, just speak frankly. I am the closest person to you in this world, and your strongest backing.”
Kong Deming chose to accept Lin Mo as his disciple, and a closed-door disciple at that, not just because of the powerful Talent Lin Mo displayed.
It was also inextricably linked to Lin Mo’s background.
With careful cultivation, in the future, this was destined to be the stabilizing force of the Sun Moon Empire.
At the very least, he could protect the empire for over a hundred years.
Gritting his teeth, Lin Mo spoke as if he had made some kind of decision, “Actually, my Spirit has another innate ability. I was afraid of causing misunderstandings, so I didn’t show it to you, Teacher. Plus, my spar with that pair of siblings was just a spar, so there was even less need to display this Talent. Since you’ve already noticed, Teacher, there’s no need for me to hide it anymore.”
After speaking, Lin Mo completed his Spirit possession at an extremely fast speed.
A small spirit power vortex formed in his palm, erupting with extremely powerful suction.
It devoured all the surrounding elemental energy, forming a small vacuum zone.
However, this was only temporary; the surrounding elemental energy quickly filled the void.
The portion of spirit power absorbed by Lin Mo using the spirit power vortex was also quickly absorbed by him, used to recover the previously consumed spirit power.
His total spirit power far exceeded that of Spirit Masters of the same rank.
If he were to recover using normal methods, the time required would be much longer in comparison.
However, all of this was under the premise that Lin Mo did not use Talent·Devour.
Once he used Devour to assist in recovering spirit power, his spirit power recovery speed would be incredibly exaggerated.
“Is this Devour Talent? Your Spirit also has this Talent?” Kong Deming didn’t expect Lin Mo to give him such a big’surprise’.
Kong Deming could be said to be one of the oldest individuals on the Douluo Continent today, and his experience was extremely rich.
What Lin Mo had just demonstrated, he saw clearly, and it was indeed Devour Talent without a doubt, and this kind of Devour Talent generally only appears on one type of Spirit Master.
That is, Evil Soul Masters!
Devour Talent—any Evil Soul Master who could possess this Talent was an outstanding one among Evil Soul Masters.
The emergence of this situation caught him off guard.
