Who’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A middle-aged man’s voice came through, radiating an air of superiority from his high position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Xu Wenchang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang’s tone was calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other end fell silent for a moment, then a chair scraped against the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, the man’s tone turned fawning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my! It’s Elder Xu! What… what can I, a mere mayor of Tianbei City, do for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang got straight to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mayor Liu, I’m currently at the Ruins of Broken Stones and have witnessed the Shark Guild illegally seizing land, forcing sales, and even committing murder in public. I demand an explanation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other end fell silent for two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Mayor Liu’s voice grew agitated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? This really happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Xu, could there… perhaps be some misunderstanding?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mayor Liu spoke earnestly, “The Shark Guild is a vital civilian force in Tianbei City’s defense against beast tides. Chairman Zhao is known for his charity and law-abiding conduct…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps some temporary workers down the line acted carelessly and didn’t follow protocol.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured! I’ll return and severely reprimand Chairman Zhao, force him to clean up internal discipline—no mercy for these rotten apples!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang’s tone remained calm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not here to hear excuses. I demand you immediately mobilize forces to seal off the Shark Guild and detain all key members.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the other end began to evade:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder Xu, this… it’s possible, of course.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the Shark Guild has hundreds of members, deeply rooted here. A hasty arrest could trigger a mass incident…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me a week—I’ll give you a full report!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he said this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang’s tone turned icy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mayor Liu, are you trying to stall me? If so, then no need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s clear the Shark Guild’s arrogance in Tianbei City owes much to your complicity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Mayor Liu turned pale with terror. “Elder Xu, I have nothing to do with the Shark Guild! I’ll arrest them myself—I’ll lead the team!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang spoke coolly: “I gave you the chance. You failed to seize it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he hung up, offering no further opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He put away his phone, gazing at the distant gray sky, a flicker of revulsion in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this age of monstrous horrors, there still exist parasites who tolerate criminal gangs for personal gain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since I’ve run into this, I might as well turn Tianbei City’s sky upside down and wash it clean.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang murmured to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his phone vibrated again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down—the caller ID read: Lin Dapao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His cold expression instantly softened into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Old Lin, what’s up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang’s tone grew casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao laughed loudly, “Old Xu, I’m on my way to Tianbei City. Heard you’re guarding outside the dungeon with my son?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang paused, helplessly replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Lin, what? You don’t trust me here? You’ve got to come see for yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course! He’s my own son! How could I trust anyone else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao spoke with unshakable conviction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, you can’t enter the dungeon yourself—you’re just guarding outside. What if someone sneaks in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You mean the Sneak-In Scroll? The state’s been cracking down on those for years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang shook his head. “Besides, the dungeon’s level restriction is 20–25. My son can wipe out 30-level elite monsters by the dozens. If someone sneaks in, they’re just bringing their heads.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the dungeon’s level restriction is 20–25, and your son can wipe out entire groups of 30-level elite monsters—so if someone really barged in, wouldn’t they just be delivering their heads?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Tianhao felt a surge of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His son was truly formidable—giving him immense face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough talk. Send me your exact coordinates. Wait for me. Gotta go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang stared at the disconnected phone, a faint smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What an overprotective dad…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About a kilometer from Xu Wenchang’s location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was an extremely secluded ravine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded on all sides by towering piles of jagged rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If viewed from above, hundreds of figures could be seen hidden densely within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Shark Guild had sent out its entire force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chairman Zhao Tianling presided personally, flanked by Yamamoto Kenichi from Ying Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside them, a young man stared at a scroll emitting eerie purple-black light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sneak-In Scroll: After use, detects all open dungeons within a five-kilometer radius and forcibly creates a temporary teleportation channel to send a four-person squad into one.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Breach Scroll: After use, detects all open dungeon spaces within a five-kilometer radius and forcibly constructs a temporary teleportation channel to send a four-member squad into one.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the young man’s hand trembled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman… we can go in now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We can go in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Sneak-In Scroll activated, it meant his first elite squad had been wiped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Breach Scroll has been used—that means his first elite squad has been completely annihilated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scar and his team were our most elite 25-level squad, fully equipped with dual Thunder-Fire resistance gear. Even standing still, they shouldn’t have been wiped out this quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling frowned, unable to comprehend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto Kenichi also wore a grave expression, his voice low: “It seems we underestimated the true value of this No. 1 on the Dragon Order leaderboard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling turned to the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the second assassination squad, fully prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second squad, prepare!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling gritted his teeth and ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto Kenichi suddenly stopped him. “Chairman Zhao, your second squad is weaker than the first. Even with identical Thunder-Fire resistance gear, the outcome will be the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto Kenichi suddenly stopped him. “Chairman Zhao, your second squad is even weaker than the first. Even if they wear the same Thunder-Fire resistance gear, the outcome will be the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling glanced at him, brow furrowed, a flicker of impatience in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was running out. If Lin Mo’s team cleared the dungeon, everything was lost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Zhao, do you have high-grade elemental resistance potions?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling paused, then nodded: “I have high-grade potions for Thunder, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind—even Light and Dark elements. Each boosts corresponding resistance by 70% for one hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yamamoto Kenichi nodded. “Give each member of the second squad one bottle. Unfortunately, elemental resistance potions cannot be stacked—using a second one overrides the first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have high-grade elemental resistance potions for Thunder, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and even Light-Dark elements—each boosts corresponding elemental resistance by 70% for one hour after consumption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Zhao, which element should they take?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling stared at the potions, lost in thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a choice that would determine victory or defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they chose wrong, the second squad would walk into a slaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder and Fire resistance are definitely useless—their gear already has solid resistance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling’s mind raced as he murmured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you pick the wrong resistance, the second team will just be wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lightning and Fire resistance are definitely broken; that gear’s resistance is real.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling’s mind raced as he murmured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, eliminate Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Mo has an Earth affinity, Earth skills are mostly defensive, with very few offensive ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in the video, Lin Mo never used any Earth offensive skill—if he had it, he would have already unleashed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A person’s energy is limited; since he has pushed Lightning and Fire to their extremes, Earth must merely be a survival tactic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Light girl is a tank, and the support is no threat either—if we can only choose one, then Ice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she’s a student from the Dragon Sequence Class; she’s certainly not ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scar and the others probably fell to that Ice girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this analysis, Yamamoto Ken nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brilliant deduction, Director Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then let’s proceed with this plan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1316,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cec9e8f6bc14b90ae9255fa1adf3c788e2a1020482cad13d3414524d0cf3f063","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-101","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-99",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
