Chapter 110: Perfect Absorption, Special Skill, Element Body!

Lin Mo and the three women walked toward the corpse of the Demon Dragon Beast.

Beside the corpse, three glowing orbs floated silently.

The first orb, radiating red light, was easily identifiable as a Mythic weapon.

Lin Mo had little interest in it.

The second orb was the target of this expedition: the material for the Thunder-Fire combo technique.

Since its drop was expected, Lin Mo paid it little attention.

His gaze fell on the third orb.

It was a small object emitting a faint crimson glow, unremarkable in appearance, like a common red pebble.

Yet the space around it subtly warped, as if unable to withstand the heat it radiated.

"Is this the special drop?"

Lin Mo frowned.

He reached out and grasped it in his hand.

Warm, but not scalding.

The Fireball spell was completely drawn to the tiny stone, trembling with excitement: This… what is this? I can sense pure fire elemental energy…

Hearing this, Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

For the Fireball spell, so picky, to react like this—it must be an incredible item!

He immediately checked its details.

【Fire Element Fragment (Special)】

【Description: A fragment of the Fire Element's rule made manifest, containing the supreme mystery of the Fire Dao.】

"Fire Element Fragment?"

Lin Mo muttered the name unconsciously, frowning slightly.

"What?"

Han Mengyao, beside him, jolted at the name, "Fire Element Fragment?"

Lin Mo glanced at Han Mengyao, then nodded:

"Yes, that's what it says."

"You know what this is?"

Han Mengyao drew a deep breath, her eyes gleaming with fervor.

"Fire Element Fragment…"

"That's a legendary item! Far rarer than combo technique materials!"

At that moment, Han Mengqing also stepped closer.

She stared at the red pebble in Lin Mo's hand, curious:

"Sis, why are you so excited? Is this stupid rock that powerful?"

"Stupid rock?"

Han Mengyao looked at her sister like she was an idiot:

"You idiot! I've told you a thousand times to read more!"

"This thing—Mom mentioned it once. Even a level 100 expert would kill for it."

Han Mengqing shrank back under the scolding, "Then what's it even for? You're making it sound so amazing!"

Lin Mo also turned to Han Mengyao, waiting for her explanation.

Han Mengyao calmed herself, then explained to Lin Mo:

"For high-level players, combo techniques are powerful—but they're not the end."

"This fragment is the key to unlocking a skill far more difficult and with a far higher ceiling than combo techniques."

"It's said that absorbing enough elemental fragments allows one to comprehend a special skill: Element Body."

Han Mengyao paused, her voice growing more excited:

"Most importantly… continuously absorbing elemental fragments can forge the legendary 'Elemental Avatar'!"

"Elemental Avatar?"

Han Mengqing's eyes widened, "What's that? Like a summoner's pet?"

"No, it's different."

Han Mengyao shook her head, explaining:

"A summoner's pet is a living being with HP and some self-awareness."

"But an Elemental Avatar is an extension of your magic power, a manifestation of your will."

"In short, it has no self-awareness—it's merely a mirror image of you. When you cast a Fireball, you can also command your Elemental Avatar to cast one simultaneously."

"Which means…"

Han Mengyao fixed her gaze on Lin Mo: "If you gain an Elemental Avatar, your damage output doubles."

Whoa—!

Hearing this, Han Mengqing and Chu Lingxuan both gasped sharply.

Double damage?

How terrifying a concept was that?

Lin Mo's current damage was already incomprehensible—double it? Would that even leave other classes alive?

"Hmm… that's about all I know."

Han Mengyao nodded. "It's just something Mom mentioned casually during dinner, when Mengqing and I were kids."

"I never heard that… ah!"

Han Mengqing muttered, then got a smack on the back of her head from her sister.

"No self-awareness, huh…"

Lin Mo rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

To others, perhaps it truly was just a mindless mirror image.

But…

What about someone like me, who possesses the Skill of Awakening?

Does that mean…

Could the skills one day gain physical forms?

Then Xiao Huo and Xiao Lei might actually have a real-life duel.

The image was too beautiful—he couldn't even bear to imagine it.

"Lin Mo, what are you waiting for? Use it now! I want to see what the Fire Elemental Avatar looks like!"

Han Mengqing urged excitedly.

Han Mengyao shook her head, dousing the excitement:

"It's not that simple."

"Even to unlock the special skill, Element Body, you need at least three or four fragments."

Saying this, Han Mengyao sighed, her expression complex:

"Unless… you achieve Perfect Absorption, you might unlock the special skill in one go."

"But that's nearly impossible."

"To achieve Perfect Absorption, you must understand fire elements profoundly. To understand fire elements profoundly, you must absorb enough fire fragments…"

"So it's a paradox…"

Han Mengyao smiled and shook her head.

Lin Mo nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the first step is always the hardest.

Yet Han Mengqing was unconvinced:

"Pfft, sis, you're overthinking again."

"Look who's standing right here—it's Lin Mo!"

"What's impossible for him?"

She punched the air toward Lin Mo:

"Lin Mo! Use it! Shut my sister up!"

Lin Mo smiled.

He looked at the fragment, clearly sensing the Fireball spell's ravenous hunger.

"Alright, let's give it a try."

Lin Mo made no further hesitation and selected Use.

The tiny stone shattered instantly, becoming a stream of crimson light that surged into Lin Mo's body.

The Fireball spell let out a satisfied sigh: Ah… yes, yes, that's the taste!

【It greedily devoured the energy, wasting not a single particle.】

The once-ambiguous flame form of the Fireball spell now began to solidify.

【Deep within its core, something like a heartbeat began to pulse.】

Boom!

A wave of heat exploded outward from Lin Mo, surging through the surrounding air.

Han Mengyao and the others were forced to retreat step by step.

The next instant.

A series of prompts appeared on Lin Mo's panel.

【Congratulations! Under the greedy consumption of the skill "Fireball," you achieved "Perfect Absorption"!】

【Congratulations! You have unlocked a special skill—Fire Element Body (Lv. )!】

【Fire Element Body (Lv. ): After activation, all fire-based skills gain a 30% boost in effect, including but not limited to damage, range, and duration.】

【Absorbing more fragments will raise the level and potency of "Fire Element Body," until the Fire Avatar is condensed.】

"Lin Mo, you… perfectly absorbed it?"

Han Mengyao stared at Lin Mo in disbelief.

Lin Mo turned to look at her and grinned. "Sorry, but it looks like I did perfectly absorb it."

Han Mengyao: "…"

Tired. Destroy everything.

Arguing logic and reason with Lin Mo the boss was the dumbest thing she'd ever done in her life.
