Chapter 122: Why does it feel like they don

As soon as these words were spoken.

The surrounding area fell silent instantly.

The three exchanged glances.

Lightning element?

It is well known that among the common elements for mages, the lightning element is the hardest to control.

Fire is second.

To master both the hardest lightning and fire elements, while also cultivating earth?

This must be a joke at their expense.

Shen Jun's smile grew stiff:

"Young Master Lin… truly a prodigy of heavenly talent."

"Since Young Master Lin can wield lightning, fire, and earth, surely you must know at least a little of the legendary 'combined techniques'?"

Shen Jun's words were meant as a jest.

He was certain Lin Mo was simply fooling them.

Lin Mo nodded seriously, swallowing the eel meat in his mouth:

"Hmm, I do know a little."

"I know one fire-earth combined technique, and one lightning-fire combined technique."

"…"

Shen Jun stared at Lin Mo's sincere and innocent face and felt his intelligence had been insulted beyond precedent.

Fire-earth combined technique?

Lightning-fire combined technique?

And two of them?!

Why don't you check your current level first?

Who does this guy think he's fooling?!

Shen Jun took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to curse.

"Heh…"

He let out a forced laugh and stood up:

"Young Master Lin has quite the sense of humor."

"Since Young Master Lin is enjoying his meal so much, we won't disturb you further."

"Let's go."

Shen Jun waved to Gu Qingge and Zhou Kai and turned to leave.

Although he dared not say anything to their faces.

But the moment he turned, his respectful expression vanished, replaced by anger and disdain at being mocked.

Watching the three depart, Lin Mo scratched his head in disbelief and turned to the three girls beside him:

"Wait… why do I feel like they didn't believe me?"

Han Mengyao rolled her eyes:

"Obviously. Who'd believe it without seeing it with their own eyes?"

"Mastering three elements plus two combined techniques—that's way beyond normal limits, completely shattering ordinary understanding."

"True."

Lin Mo sighed. "Man, even the truth isn't believed anymore."

At that moment,

Han Mengqing, chewing on a chicken leg, mumbled:

"By the way, Lin Mo boss, did you fill out that 'Skill Statistics Form' in the Longxu Class freshman group?"

"Skill Statistics Form?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo pulled out his phone and checked.

Sure enough, a file was pinned at the top of the group.

"Not yet. I'll fill it out now."

Lin Mo ate while diligently filling it out.

His fingers tapped rapidly on the screen.

Fire skills… earth skills… lightning skills… combined techniques…

When he reached the end,

Lin Mo's fingers froze.

He frowned, scrolling up and down the screen.

"Uh… where do I put special techniques?"

Hearing this, the three girls paused.

Han Mengqing shook her head, exasperated:

"The school probably never imagined anyone at this level could learn a special technique when they designed this form!"

Han Mengyao also sighed with resignation:

"Just put it under combined techniques and add a note."

"Alright."

Lin Mo nodded and manually added a note after the combined techniques column:

【Special Technique: Body of Fire Element (Fire)】.

Finished, he tapped send.

…

On the other side.

Shen Jun led Gu Qingge and Zhou Kai to a corner table and sat down again.

Far from Lin Mo's group, the three no longer needed to pretend.

Zhou Kai snorted:

"Fucking bullshit. Fire-earth combined technique? Lightning-fire combined technique?"

"Why doesn't he just say he knows the legendary special technique 'Body of Elements'?!"

"Are all the new Longxu Class students this full of themselves now? Do they think we're idiots from the regular class?"

Shen Jun sneered, his eyes darkening:

"Dare they look down on us?"

"Or do they think just having a Longxu Class identity lets them mock us at will?"

Shen Jun clenched his chopsticks tightly and said coldly:

"We'll see who's right on the trial grounds."

"When the time comes, I'll make him understand that at Jingda, even Longxu Class students without real ability will be trampled underfoot."

…

Night fell.

On the top floor of Jingda's administrative building, the principal's office.

The office was extremely spacious.

Before the large floor-to-ceiling window stood an elderly man with white hair and beard.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the brightly lit campus, his eyes deep and unreadable.

This man was the principal of Jingda, one of the top Qiangzhe in Longguo: Guhe.

"Knock knock knock—"

A knock sounded at the door.

"Enter."

Guhe spoke calmly.

Xu Wenchang pushed the door open.

"Principal, I'm back."

Guhe turned, looked at Xu Wenchang, and smiled faintly:

"Old Xu, why are you back so late?"

Xu Wenchang sighed. "I took Lin Mo and the others to Tianbei City to clear a shrine dungeon, but something came up."

"I took care of it."

"Oh?"

Guhe raised an eyebrow slightly. "What happened?"

Xu Wenchang snorted:

"The Kuangsha Guild conspired with individuals from Yingguo, openly betrayed the nation, and attempted to assassinate Longxu Class students."

"But they've been completely eradicated—including their protectors. All who needed arresting have been taken."

Guhe nodded, showing no great surprise.

Such incidents, though rare, were not unheard of.

If you encounter it, just handle it as you should.

"Since you're back, let's get to the matter at hand."

Guhe walked to the desk, picked up a freshly printed document, and handed it to Xu Wenchang:

"This is the new student skill statistics sheet for the Longxu Class."

"Take a look."

Xu Wenchang took the document and glanced at it.

At the top of the list was Lin Mo's name.

In the skills column, it was densely filled with text.

【Name: Lin Mo】

【Class: Mage】

【Level: Lv. 5】

【Mastered Skills:】

【Fire: Fireball (Basic), Multiple Exploding Fireballs (Beginner), Blazing Spiral Dragon Bullet (Beginner), Flame Pillar (Intermediate), Flame Wind Wings (Intermediate), Flame Storm (Intermediate)…】

【Earth: Earth Shield (Basic), Earthflow Wall (Beginner), Earthborne Stealth (Beginner), Quicksand Domain (Intermediate), Earthshaker · Thousand Rock Spears (Intermediate), Death Thorn Rock Spear (Intermediate)…】

【Lightning: Lightning Strike (Basic), Thunder Scale Descent (Intermediate), Thunder Chain Hell (Intermediate)…】

【Combined Techniques: Lava Battle Armor (Fire + Earth), Thunderflame · Infernal Judgment (Lightning + Fire), (Special Skill: Fire Elemental Body)】

…

This long list of skills made one's eyes spin.

Especially the final manually added note, which stood out starkly.

Xu Wenchang flipped through the other new students' forms.

Even Ye Kong, an SSS-tier genius, had far fewer skills compared to Lin Mo.

The contrast was utterly brutal.

"This…"

Xu Wenchang pointed at the form, looking at Guhe with a mix of disbelief and amusement. "This kid filled it out in great detail."

Guhe stared at Xu Wenchang with a strange expression, even questioning reality:

"Old Xu, this kid Lin Mo… you're sure he didn't just make this up?"
