Chapter 122: Why Does It Feel Like They Don't Believe Me?

The moment those words left his mouth,

the surroundings instantly fell silent.

The three of them exchanged a glance.

Lightning element?

As everyone knew, among a mage's common elements, lightning was the hardest to control.

Fire came in second.

And he'd mastered both the hardest lightning element and fire element, while also cultivating earth on the side?

This had to be a joke at their expense.

The smile on Shen Jun's face stiffened slightly:

"Lin, my junior… truly are a heaven-gifted prodigy."

"Since Lin, my junior, knows lightning, fire, and earth, then surely the legendary 'combination skills'—Lin, my junior, must know a bit of those too, right?"

In truth, Shen Jun was just teasing.

He was convinced Lin Mo was pulling their leg.

Lin Mo nodded with a perfectly serious expression, swallowing the eel meat in his mouth:

"Mm, I do know a little."

"I know one fire-earth combination skill, and one lightning-fire combination skill."

"…"

Shen Jun stared at Lin Mo's sincere, innocent face and felt his own intelligence had been insulted like never before.

A fire-earth combination skill?

A lightning-fire combination skill?

And he knew two of them?!

Why don't you take a look at what level you actually are right now!

Who bulls**ts people like this!

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

"Heh…"

He gave a dry laugh and stood up:

"Lin, my junior, really knows how to joke."

"Since Lin, my junior, is enjoying his meal so much, we won't disturb you any longer."

"Let's go."

Shen Jun waved at Gu Qingge and Zhou Kai, then turned and left.

Although he didn't dare say anything to their faces,

the moment he turned around, the deference on his face vanished in an instant, replaced by the annoyance and contempt of a man who'd been made a fool of.

Watching the three of them walk away, Lin Mo scratched his head, a little speechless, and looked at the three girls beside him:

"Wait… why does it feel like they didn't believe me?"

Han Mengyao rolled her eyes:

"Duh—without seeing it with their own eyes, who would believe it?"

"Mastery of three elements plus two combination skills—that loadout is way beyond the syllabus, completely outside the realm of what a normal person would consider possible."

"Fair enough."

Lin Mo sighed. "Sigh, tell the truth and nobody believes you."

Just then,

Han Mengqing said, gnawing on a chicken leg, her words muffled:

"Oh, right, Boss Lin—about that 'Skill Statistics Form' in the Long Xu Ban newbies' group chat, did you fill it out?"

"Skill Statistics Form?"

Lin Mo heard this and pulled out his phone to take a look.

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

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

Lin Mo ate his meal with one hand while seriously filling out the form with the other.

His fingers tapped rapidly across the screen.

Fire skills… earth skills… lightning skills… combination skills…

When he reached the end,

Lin Mo's fingers stopped.

He frowned, scrolling up and down on his phone screen.

"Uh… where do I put special skills?"

Hearing this, the three girls all froze for a beat.

Han Mengqing shook her head, a little helpless:

"I bet when the school designed this form, they never even imagined someone could learn a special skill at this level!"

Han Mengyao also laughed helplessly:

"Just put it under combination skills, and add a note."

"Alright then."

Lin Mo nodded, and behind the combination skills column, he manually added a note:

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

After filling it out, he clicked send.

On the other side.

Shen Jun, Gu Qingge, and Zhou Kai found a new seat in the corner.

Far away from Lin Mo and the others, the three finally stopped pretending.

Zhou Kai sneered:

"Damn it, pretending to be what? A Fire-Earth Combo Skill? A Thunder-Fire Combo Skill?"

"Why didn't he say he also possesses the legendary Special Skill 'Body of Elements'!"

"Are all Long Xu Ban freshmen nowadays so good at bragging? Do they really think we from the Ordinary Class are fools?"

Shen Jun let out a cold snort, his eyes turning somewhat gloomy:

"Dare to look down on us?"

"Or does he think that with the identity of a Long Xu Ban student, he can just toy with us at will?"

Shen Jun gripped the chopsticks in his hand tightly and said in a deep voice:

"Then let's see the truth during the trial."

"By then, I will make him know that at Jing University, even the Long Xu Ban, if lacking true ability, will still be trampled underfoot."

Night fell.

On the top floor of the Jing University Administration Building, the Principal's Office.

This office was extremely spacious.

Before a huge floor-to-ceiling window stood an old man with white hair and beard.

With his hands behind his back, he looked at the brightly lit campus outside, his gaze profound.

This person was none other than the Principal of Jing University, and one of the top experts in Long Country, Principal Guhe.

"Knock-knock-knock—"

The sound of knocking on the door rang out.

"Enter."

Principal Guhe spoke lightly.

Xu Wenchang pushed the door open and entered.

"Principal, I'm back."

Principal Guhe turned around, looked at Xu Wenchang, and a smile appeared on his face:

"Old Xu, why did you come back so late?"

Xu Wenchang let out a bitter smile, walked over to the sofa nearby, and sat down. "I sent Lin Mo and the others to the Temple Fuben in Tianbei City, but something went wrong."

"I took care of it on the side."

"Oh?"

Principal Guhe raised his eyebrows slightly. "What kind of situation?"

Xu Wenchang let out a cold snort:

"The Mad Shark Guild colluded with the Ying Country people, openly betrayed the country, and attempted to assassinate Long Xu Ban students."

"However, they have been uprooted, including the umbrella protecting them behind the scenes; everyone who should be arrested has been arrested."

Principal Guhe nodded, not showing much surprise.

Such things, though rare, are not non-existent.

If encountered, then handle them as they should be handled.

"Since you're back, let's talk about the main matter."

Principal 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 Long Xu Ban."

"Take a look."

Xu Wenchang took the document and glanced at it.

At the very top was Lin Mo's name.

And in the skill column, the characters were written densely and thickly.

【Name: Lin Mo】

【Class: Mage】

【Level: Lv. 25】

【Mastered Skills:】

【Fire: Fireball (Basic), Multi-Explosive Fireball (Low), Blazing Spiral Dragon Bullet (Low), Blazing Fire Pillar (Mid), Blazing Wind Wings (Mid), Flame Storm (Mid)...】

【Earth: Earth Shield (Basic), Earth Flow Wall (Low), Earth Stealth (Low), Quicksand Domain (Mid), Earth Shaking · Thousand Rock Thorns (Mid), Death Thorn Rock Spear (Mid)...】

【Thunder: Thunder Strike (Basic), Lei Lin Descends (Mid), Thunder Chain Prison (Mid)...】

【Combo Skills: Magma Battle Armor (Fire + Earth), Thunder Flame · Purgatory Judgment (Thunder + Fire), (Special Skill: Body of Fire Element)】

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

Especially the last manually added note, which appeared particularly glaring.

Xu Wenchang flipped through the tables of other new students behind it.

Even for an SSS-tier genius like Ye Kong, his skills were pitifully few compared to Lin Mo's.

The contrast was simply too brutal.

"This..."

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

Principal Guhe looked at Xu Wenchang with a strange expression, even doubting life itself:

"Old Xu, this kid Lin Mo... are you sure you didn't fill it out randomly?"
