Chapter 113: Insight: Thunderfire·Infernal Judgment!

Outside, in the stony wasteland, wind howled fiercely.

A bowman with exceptional vision was observing the distant rift—the exit for Lin Mo and the others.

Suddenly,

he sharply narrowed his pupils and shouted to Zhao Tianling and Yamamoto Kenichi behind him:

"President! The rift is changing!"

"They should be coming out soon!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianling's eyes flashed with cruelty.

Finally… they're coming out?

He turned to look at Yamamoto Kenichi beside him.

The ruthless man from Yingguo wore a smug, triumphant smile.

He pulled out the 【Dark Veil Barrier Scroll】, emitting a faint black glow.

"President Zhao, have your people ready."

Yamamoto Kenichi's voice carried a chilling edge: "The moment they emerge, I'll activate the barrier."

Saying this,

Yamamoto Kenichi's gaze swept over the four hundred-plus dark-clad guild members behind him, his tone turning icy:

"President Zhao, you and I, along with the other three vice presidents, will immediately join forces to hold back Xu Wenchang."

"As for Lin Mo's team of four kids… that's your job—your four hundred men."

Yamamoto Kenichi sneered:

"Four hundred Level 40 professionals surrounding four Level 25 students… if you still can't kill them…"

He paused, his eyes flashing with malice:

"Then such trash aren't worth breathing air—better they all commit seppuku to atone."

Zhao Tianling drew a deep breath and sharply raised his hand:

"Did you all hear that?!"

"This is the last chance—and the only way to survive!"

"Whoever falters won't wait for the Long Xu Class to act—I'll flay them alive myself!"

"Yes!!!"

Over four hundred voices roared in unison, their killing intent surging into the sky.

…

At the rift's entrance,

Xu Wenchang, who had been meditating with closed eyes, opened them.

He stood and stretched his stiff limbs.

"Finally, they're coming out…"

Xu Wenchang squinted at the rift before him.

Suddenly,

he noticed the rift's edge glowing with brilliant gold.

The golden light grew stronger, even dimming the original lightning and flame hues.

"Gold rim with red… damn, that's the mark of an S+ clearance rating."

Xu Wenchang murmured.

As a high-ranking Longwei Army officer and senior instructor at Jingda, his experience was vast.

Yet even so, this sight still startled him.

"These kids really gave me a big surprise."

Xu Wenchang clasped his hands behind his back and nodded repeatedly.

In the past few hundred years of Longguo, fewer than five teams had achieved an S+ rating in the Temple dungeon.

But those teams had all spent years honing their synergy.

Yet these children…

Could a team cobbled together on the spot achieve an S+?

Xu Wenchang smiled and shook his head.

Nine times out of ten, this was Lin Mo's doing.

That kid never ceased to amaze him.

Xu Wenchang's eyes gleamed with anticipation:

"This year's Ten Thousand Nations Arena—Longguo will dominate."

…

Inside the dungeon,

Lin Mo's eyelashes trembled slightly.

At the same time,

a series of prompts appeared on his panel.

【Congratulations! Fusion successful!】

【Guided by the "Thunderfire Dragon God Heart," your skills "Fireball" and "Lightning Strike" achieved perfect resonance!】

【Your skills "Fireball" and "Lightning Strike" gained profound insight during this fusion!】

【Congratulations! You have unlocked the dual-element combo skill: Thunderfire·Infernal Judgment (Lv. )!】

【Thunderfire·Infernal Judgment (Lv. ): Use thunder as chains, flame as punishment. Summon the most violent thunder and fire forces to obliterate a designated area.】

【Phase One·Thunder Prison Shackles: Instantly summon a high-voltage lightning net over the target area, dealing massive lightning damage and applying the Electrified status for 10 seconds.】

【Phase Two·Infernal Collapse: At the moment the lightning net forms, detonate subterranean flames to inflict devastating fire damage to all enemies within range!】

【Cooldown: 10 minutes.】

Lin Mo snapped open his eyes.

Thunderfire…

Infernal Judgment…

He stared at the new skill icon on his panel.

It was a burning cross entwined with lightning, radiating a suffocating aura of destruction.

"This skill… has some real weight."

Lin Mo, awed by the skill's effects, felt deeply impressed.

No longer would he need to cast 【Thunder Prison】 first to apply Electrified, then follow up with other skills.

This one skill came with Electrified built-in!

And it had crowd control too!

This was practically a god-tier skill designed for area clearing!

Though its cooldown was ten minutes, it was more than enough for a single battle.

After this skill struck, nothing would likely remain standing.

Too bad the dungeon had already been cleared—there were no monsters left to test it on.

I really wish I could find some poor sucker to unleash this on.

Just then,

the skills began to stir.

【"Fireball" now acted like a bodybuilder showing off his muscles—swollen with pride.】

【"Fireball" laughed wildly: Hahaha! See that? This is my power! This apocalyptic aura! This is the grandeur I deserve!】

【"Fireball" glanced at "Lightning Strike" and, unusually, praised: Third brother, you did well this time—didn't hold me back.】

【"Lightning Strike" remained cool: Without my thunder guiding you, you'd just explode randomly like an idiot.】

【"Fireball" didn't get angry—instead, he waved dismissively: Fine, fine. You're precise, I'm brutal—we're a perfect match!】

Nearby, "Earth Shield" was green with envy.

【"Earth Shield" stared enviously at the new skill icon: So jealous… I want to fuse with Big Brother and Third Brother too… I want to be a ultimate skill too…】

【"Fireball" glanced at Second Brother, feeling generous: Hey, Second Brother, don't be down. You're physical damage—we're magic. Different lanes, no need to force fusion. Maybe next time Big Brother'll take you to play in the mud.】

【"Earth Shield": I'm the Spirit of Earth! I'm rock! Not mud!】

Listening to the noise in his mind, Lin Mo's spirits lifted.

Seizing the momentum,

he pulled another stack of skill books from his panel inventory.

Since he'd unlocked a new skill, he had to max it out—this was the bare minimum respect owed to an ultimate technique.

Hummm—!

The skill books dissolved into streams of light and surged into his body.

【Skill "Thunderfire·Infernal Judgment" leveled up to Lv. !】

【Skill "Thunderfire·Infernal Judgment" leveled up to Lv. 5!】

【Skill "Thunderfire·Infernal Judgment" leveled up to Lv. 5 (current cap)!】

Having finished, Lin Mo stretched out contentedly.

Only at this moment,

Han Mengqing, who had been standing guard nearby, suddenly noticed the commotion.

She hurried over, her big eyes blinking:

"Big Boss Lin Mo! You're awake?"

Lin Mo let out a huge yawn, stretched lazily, rubbed his still-drowsy eyes, and nodded:

"Yeah, I'm awake. That nap was pretty comfortable."

Han Mengqing: "..."

Han Mengyao: "..."

Chu Lingxuan: "..."
