Playing a DPS Role with Absolute Defense-Chapter 51 - 50: Su Mo’s New Skill—Damage Reflection!
"Okay, hold on a second, I’ll be right there!"
Su Mo heard the news and didn’t hesitate for a moment. He immediately turned around and headed out towards the direction of the Great Xia Trading Company.
After paying the remaining balance at the Great Xia Trading Company, he looked at the skill scroll he’d been longing for, his heart full of joy.
[Passive Skill Attack Return: 20% of the strength from any attack you block will be returned to the attacker. Skill requirement: 3000 Defense Attribute points (Usable)]
Before getting the skill, he was worried that his maxed-out Defense Attribute might mean he couldn’t use it.
But when he saw the word "Usable" on the scroll, he finally relaxed.
Without any hesitation, using slight force, the skill scroll was crushed in his hand, and a golden light immediately enveloped Su Mo.
And then... nothing else happened.
After using it, nothing seemed different, and he didn’t even know how to use the skill, simply because it was a passive skill.
The moment he used the skill, its attributes were fully integrated into his body.
It would only activate when he was attacked.
Thinking of this, Su Mo decided to go home and try it out with his sister.
But considering it was a rebound skill, if he let Su Yu hit him, what if she got hurt from the rebound? Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head.
Suddenly, the image of Principal Wang, dressed in a neat, shiny suit, flashed through his mind.
His sister was just an ordinary person, and would suffer from recoil damage if she hit him, but Old Wang was different. He was already quite aged and bald, and his strength was at the Gold level. Even if the rebound affected him, it should be fine!
With this thought, Su Mo’s figure turned into a whirlwind, quickly running towards the school.
With his 1000 Speed Attribute, once he started running, ordinary people couldn’t even see him clearly, they could only hear the sonic booms in the air.
In just a moment, Su Mo arrived at the school entrance and saw Principal Wang still standing on the podium, boasting to a group of reporters.
As soon as Su Mo approached, Principal Wang noticed him.
Previously, Principal Wang had valued Su Mo, but now it was completely different.
Now, Su Mo was a disciple of the Blood Slaughter God, Tu Hongwu.
In terms of status, even Principal Wang seemed insignificant.
Seeing Su Mo’s arrival, Principal Wang nodded with a smile and said, "Mo, why are you back again? Did you forget something?"
Su Mo thought for a moment before speaking, "Well, Principal, I just acquired a skill, and I was wondering if you could help me test it."
Hearing this, Principal Wang’s expression showed slight surprise, but he quickly nodded and agreed, "Sure, head to my office and wait for a bit. I’ll be right over."
Hearing this, Su Mo paused slightly, wondering where Principal Wang’s office was.
Seeing Su Mo still standing there, Principal Wang added, "Just wait for me at the security booth, and I’ll be there shortly."
Su Mo nodded and made his way through the crowd of reporters towards the security booth.
Although the reporters hadn’t intervened earlier, everything that happened was recorded by their cameras.
After Su Mo left, someone finally asked Old Wang, "Principal Wang, although Su Mo is very talented, aren’t you spoiling him a bit too much?"
"Principal Wang, is your educational philosophy at Celestial City High School always like this?"
"Principal Wang, you have always praised Su Mo. Is he your prized student?"
The initially smiling Old Wang broke into a cold sweat upon hearing the reporter’s question.
Can you really say things like that this casually?
Su Mo is already a disciple of the Blood Slaughter God, and you say he’s my prized student!
If I compete with the Blood Slaughter God for a disciple, won’t my bald head be shiny enough for display? It might even be chopped off to make an ornament!
You might not care about your life, but I do!
"Don’t talk nonsense, it’s just our school’s educational philosophy. We treat every student like family. Alright, this interview is over for today. As principal, I still believe education is the priority!"
After saying that, Principal Wang immediately turned and left, leaving behind a group of bewildered reporters.
Just as Su Mo sat down in the security booth, Principal Wang arrived in a hurry.
"So, what’s the skill? Could it be given by your mentor..."
Old Wang hadn’t finished speaking before Su Mo interrupted him: "No, it’s a skill I bought myself. I’ve had it for a while, and it just arrived today, so I wanted to ask for your help testing it."
Old Wang picked up the thermos on the desk and poured Su Mo a cup of tea, took a sip himself, and said, "Alright then, tell me how I can help."
"Just hit me with a punch."
The tea that was just in Old Wang’s mouth almost got spat out.
If he remembered correctly, didn’t he just tell Su Mo something like this not too long ago?
Yes, just before the college entrance exams; how long has it been since then?
And now you want me to punch you!
How can I dare?
The crucial ranking exams are just a few days away. What if I hurt you, who’s gonna take responsibility?
Plus, you’re a disciple of that man, if I accidentally injure you and cause you to fail the exams, I might find my head hanging at the school gate the next day.
With these thoughts, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, absolutely not!
Mo, you need to know that Gold level and Silver level are different,
After breaking through to Gold level, all attributes multiply by 10. A 1000 point Strength Attribute jumps to 10,000 points, it’s no joke.
And I remember telling you about this before. How about I get your homeroom teacher, Wang Defa, instead..."
"Principal, don’t worry, it’ll be fine."
Seeing Su Mo looking so relaxed, Old Wang internally griped.
You say it’s fine, but what about the person behind you!
If nothing happens, it’s all good, but if something goes wrong, you might still get to attend the gathering.
In the end, no matter how Su Mo tried to persuade him, Old Wang refused to make a move and ended up calling his homeroom teacher, Wang Defa.
Looking at Wang Defa, who had painstakingly nurtured him for three years, Su Mo felt a tiny bit guilty.
Then, he shoved those feelings of guilt right out the window.
"Mr. Wang, go ahead, just hit me."
Wang Defa, who had just arrived at the office, was still completely puzzled about what was going on.
Only to hear Su Mo asking him to hit him, he felt utterly bewildered.
