Why are you having a picnic? The other side has over a thousand men! They could be at the gates any moment!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s already this dire, how can you still have the heart to have a picnic here? There are over a thousand people across the way—any moment now they could be at the city gates!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tossed a grape high into the air and caught it perfectly in her mouth, mumbling: “Oh, Da Wei, you’re just worrying needlessly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tossed a grape high into the air and caught it precisely in her mouth, murmuring indistinctly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dawei’s eyes widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing brushed the crumbs off her hands, matter-of-factly: “With Lin Mo boss taking charge, I bet he’ll smash their King Statue before they even get here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dawei respected Lin Mo, but common sense told him this was absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know our class leader is insanely strong, but he’s still just one person! The numerical gap is too huge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dawei frowned, analyzing seriously: “If those second-years coordinate even a little, exploiting elemental advantages, our class leader won’t stand a chance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought more, Wang Dawei grew increasingly anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Ye Kong, urgently: “Ye Ge, this won’t work!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel like our class leader’s going to get killed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two fists can’t fight a thousand hands—let alone thousands! Why don’t we leave a few to guard here and send a small team to help him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wang Dawei, Han Mengqing rolled her eyes: “Big guy, you really don’t understand how insane your class leader is. If elemental weaknesses could take him down, he wouldn’t be Lin Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Kong’s brow was slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the former top genius of Beijing’s elite circles,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>his pride told him he should charge out and fight alongside his comrades, not hide behind defenses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after a moment, Ye Kong slowly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, we can’t go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big guy, you really don’t understand how insane your squad leader is… if he could be targeted by elemental weaknesses, he wouldn’t be called Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dawei panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Kong took a deep breath, his gaze hardening: “Da Wei, remember what our class leader said before leaving? He told us to stay put, guard the base, and not follow him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Military orders are absolute. Since we accepted him as class leader, we must obey his commands without question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Kong clapped Wang Dawei on the shoulder, speaking gravely: “If he dared go alone, it means he’s certain of victory.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our job is to trust him—and guard this home so he has no worries behind him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Ye Kong’s serious expression,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dawei, though still uneasy, could only sigh helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Kong took a deep breath, his gaze turning utterly resolute:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dawei scratched his head. “Then we can only wait here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope our class leader... really does as Han Mengqing says—takes them all down by himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Kong patted Wang Dawei on the shoulder and said solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the monitor dares to go alone, it means he has absolute confidence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What we must do is trust him, and guard this home so he has no worries behind him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Ye Kong’s serious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Wang Dawei’s heart still churned with unease, he could only sigh helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Dawei scratched his head. “Then all we can do is wait here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I hope the monitor really can, as Han Mengqing said, push through the other side all by himself.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1149,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","56113e13dad82dbd8a5da312e1a7b881ec2295957edd296c6e44bdf4415c082c","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-154","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-152",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
