Do I look hurt?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone studied him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he was truly unharmed, they finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Ye Kong stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This former arrogant crown prince of Kyoto now looked at Lin Mo with soul-deep reverence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the arena, when Lin Mo had instantly defeated him, he’d merely been beaten into submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was utterly awestruck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Squad leader…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Kong took a deep breath, his voice filled with unprecedented respect:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I always believed individual strength was insignificant against organized armies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But today, you’ve shown me that when a person’s power reaches a certain level, they truly can stand alone and hold off ten thousand men…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo laughed and clapped him on the shoulder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough with the heavy drama, Lao Ye. Stick with me, and you’ll eat well and drink well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Dragon Order class gathered around Lin Mo,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu He arrived with Xu Wenchang, Zhang Daoyuan, and Han Xue— several instructors— walking slowly forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Order students immediately greeted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal, Teacher Xu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo also gave the senior figures a slight nod: “Principal, Teacher Xu. Did I make you look bad?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu He burst out laughing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look bad? If this counts as looking bad, then every genius Kyoto University has ever produced should crawl into a crack in the ground!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at Lin Mo, his eyes brimming with unhidden admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, your performance today was dazzling! Thunder high-grade, Fire high-grade, Earth high-grade… Good! Good! Excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said “good” three times in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Gu He was deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Zhang Daoyuan let out a bitter chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the defeated party, he wasn’t angry— instead, he mocked himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, Lin Mo… you slaughtered over a thousand of my precious students like chicks!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, the Dragon Order students couldn’t help but stifle giggles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang’s attitude was something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Daoyuan paused, then added teasingly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But losing to a monster like you? That’s only natural. These brats are always arrogant— getting beaten by you will do them good in the long run.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled lightly, giving the grade director his due respect:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Zhang, you’re joking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your upperclassmen responded pretty well— that elemental synergy defense array was quite impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone’s lips twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impressive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You dropped two high-grade skills and turned people and walls to ash— that’s “impressive”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu He waved a hand, cutting off the chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression turned serious as he pulled out the “Thunder Element Fragment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fragment’s surface crackled wildly with blue lightning, as if containing the primal force of annihilating thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu He handed the fragment to Lin Mo:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, according to the freshman trial rules, you single-handedly breached the Hero’s Main City. This reward is yours— take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo took the fragment, his gaze instantly locked onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu He looked at him, speaking with solemn care:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, this Thunder Element Fragment holds wildly violent energy— one misstep and it will backlash.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re only level 27. I advise you to store it safely until your understanding of Thunder deepens— then attempt to absorb it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>at this moment, Lin Mo paid no attention to what Guhe said next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Guhe pulled out the Lightning Element Fragment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the skills inside him erupted in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』crossed its arms and sneered: Hmph, I activated the Element Body long before you did, Third Brother—this round is yours to lose.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』stared at the fragment, drooling with envy: Waaah… Master, I want a fragment too! When will I get mine, Second Brother?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo silently chuckled in his mind and immediately activated his PUA mode:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Earth, why the rush? If you work hard, you’ll get yours too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』perked up like it had been injected with stimulant: Don’t worry, Master! I won’t sleep tonight!

Use it now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Lightning Strike Spell』surrounded by flickering lightning, spat out one word: Use.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s lips curled slightly upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his own skills had spoken up, what was there left to hesitate about?\u003C\u002Fp>",1200,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7e81239dc64bdbff0723dfa571d414d5ef9d4e7a4754f0d209ec0406189e186d","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-160","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-158",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
