Moon Shadow：A werewolf's struggle

Chapter 7: Instruction and confusion

Lin Yue and Li Mo walked side by side on the forest path, the air was filled with a fresh scent of grass and wood, but Lin Yue's heart was heavy as iron. He was afraid of his gradually awakening power, and he was also suspicious of Li Mo. Li Mo's dual identity made him wonder whether this seemingly reliable mentor was really trustworthy.

"Today, we will continue training," Li Mo broke the silence, his tone as calm as ever. "You have learned to control the initial transformation, but you still need to learn how to use these powers in combat."

Lin Yue nodded and silently followed Li Mo into an open space. It was surrounded by dense woods, and the sun shone from the treetops, illuminating every inch of the ground. This quiet place seemed to be an isolated world, suitable for undisturbed training.

"Li Mo," Lin Yue suddenly stopped and hesitated before continuing, "I need to know more, about you, about the secret organization, and about the werewolf tribe."

Li Mo stopped and looked back at Lin Yue, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes. He knew that as the training deepened, Lin Yue's doubts about him were gradually deepening.

"You already know some things, but there are still many parts you don't know." Li Mo walked in front of Lin Yue, his tone still calm. "As your mentor, I will tell you some of what I can say, but some things you know now may be more dangerous."

Lin Yue frowned, he didn't like this vague answer, but he understood that Li Mo had his reasons. "Then at least tell me, what is your motivation? Why are you willing to help me? What role do you play in the secret organization?"

Li Mo sighed, he knew he couldn't avoid these questions anymore. For someone like Lin Yue who has undergone a huge transformation in a short period of time, transparency is the only way to build trust.

"I help you, not just because I am your mentor," Li Mo said, with a rare tenderness in his tone. "You remind me of my past self, the one who was once confused and lonely."

Lin Yue looked at Li Mo, and for the first time he saw this always calm and self-sustaining man showing some vulnerability. He realized that Li Mo was not just a cold-blooded killer or a tool of a secret organization, he was also a person who had once lost himself in his own identity.

"I was once a member of a secret organization, it's true," Li Mo continued, his eyes gradually becoming firm. "They discovered my abilities and tried to use me. But after coming into contact with the werewolf tribe, I realized my true destiny. I joined them because I understood that only here could I find myself and find what I really wanted to protect."

"So you are wandering between two worlds," Lin Yue whispered, and he felt that he understood Li Mo better. "You are trying to protect two worlds at the same time, but this is bound to be a dangerous balance."

"Yes," Li Mo nodded, "but this is the only thing I can do. The power of the secret organization is far beyond your current imagination. The resources and technology they have are enough to subvert the balance of the entire world. If I can continue to stay in them, I will have the opportunity to influence their actions and protect the werewolf tribe."

Lin Yue felt a heavy pressure on his heart. He began to understand the responsibility that Li Mo took on and the difficult balance between his two identities.

"But I can't guarantee that this path will always work," Li Mo continued, with a hint of helplessness in his tone. "One day, the secret organization will discover my true position, and by then, an inevitable war may break out."

"What should we do then?" Lin Yue felt a panic, and he realized that he and the entire tribe might be at the center of the storm.

"We need time," Li Mo replied, with firm determination in his voice. "Time makes you stronger, let's find a way to deal with the secret organization. You must master your own power and become the pillar of the tribe, so that we have a chance to survive in future confrontations."

Lin Yue clenched his fists tightly, he knew that Li Mo's words were right. Even if the road ahead is full of unknowns and dangers, he must keep moving forward.

"Now, focus on training," Li Mo suddenly changed the subject, and his tone returned to calm. "You need to learn how to stay calm in any situation, especially when facing the enemy."

Lin Yue nodded, forcing himself to suppress all doubts and fears in his heart. He knew that Li Mo was teaching him how to control his power while teaching him how to survive in this dangerous world.

The training began, and Li Mo took Lin Yue through a series of actual combat exercises. Lin Yue felt that his body gradually adapted to the state after the transformation, his strength became more concentrated, and his movements became more agile.

However, between each attack and defense, Lin Yue could still feel the wild power deep in his heart, which was always ready to break through the shackles of reason and completely devour him. Li Mo constantly reminded him to stay calm and use his will to guide the power instead of being controlled by it.

As the training progressed, Lin Yue gradually mastered how to use his power in battle, but he also realized that the real challenge was not to defeat the enemy, but to overcome the fear in his heart and the anxiety of the unknown.

After the training, Lin Yue sat on the ground panting, sweat sliding down his cheeks. He felt physically exhausted, but his heart was more determined than ever.

"You did a good job, Lin Yue," Li Mo walked up to him with a hint of encouragement in his tone. "Keep training like this, you will become stronger and eventually be able to control this power."

Lin Yue looked up at Li Mo, and although he still had many questions in his heart, he decided to trust this complicated man for the time being. Li Mo was not only his mentor, but also a person who was looking for light in the darkness, just like him.

"Thank you, Li Mo," Lin Yue whispered, with determination in his eyes. "I will continue to work hard to become the person you expect."

Li Mo smiled slightly, although he knew that the road ahead was full of challenges and dangers, he believed that Lin Yue had the potential to become their hope.

Night fell again. After training, Lin Yue sat alone in the open space, looking at the bright moon in the sky. He felt that he had some mysterious connection with the moon, as if it was guiding his destiny in the dark.

"What will happen in the future?" Lin Yue asked himself silently in his heart. Although he had no answer, he knew that he had to move forward.
