Lady!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu hurried forward upon seeing them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How’s the situation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao gave a slight nod, his voice hoarse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu bit her lip and began her report:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Young Master and the others entered the dungeon about forty-five minutes ago. Ten minutes ago, the dungeon fully descended into the Abyss…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan swayed slightly, whispering softly: “How could this happen? After all these years without incident, why did it have to happen to Mo’er?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao stared at the pitch-black entrance, his fists clenched until they cracked, lightning crackling wildly around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present understood what an Abyssalized dungeon meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an Abyssalized dungeon was not successfully cleared within twenty-four hours, the monsters inside would burst out and trigger a disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, this was only a low-level dungeon; the monsters within weren’t particularly strong, and the Jianghai City military could handle them easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a sharp screech of brakes echoed beyond the warning line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several black military SUVs pulled to a stop; doors opened, and a group of imposing figures stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead middle-aged man wore a crisp suit and gold-rimmed glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him followed a haughty young boy and four young professionals, each equipped with top-tier gear and sharp, piercing eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Lin, how’s it going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man strode up to Lin Tianhao and asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao turned, his brow furrowed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhao Lei? What are you doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was Zhao Lei, one of Jianghai City’s two City Defense Commanders, equal in rank to Lin Tianhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy standing behind him was Zhao Lei’s pride and joy—Zhao Yu, a S-rank fire-element affinity prodigy, a genius pyromancer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With such a major incident occurring, as one of Jianghai City’s City Defense Commanders, I naturally had to come.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, gazing at the Abyssalized dungeon entrance, a complex expression flickering in his eyes:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Abyssalization… a one-in-a-hundred-thousand probability. Truly unfortunate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Zhao Lei turned to Lin Tianhao and probed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Lin, I heard from my subordinates that the team trapped inside… your son is among them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao’s breath hitched slightly; he nodded heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving confirmation, Zhao Lei pressed on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the team’s composition? Besides your son, who else is in there? What levels? What gear?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao fell silent; beside him, Ye Hongyu answered for him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides the Young Master, there’s an A-rank water-element mage, a B-rank shield warrior, a B-rank ranger, and an A-rank priest. All were level 4 before entry. Gear… roughly gold-tier.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Zhao Lei’s brow instantly knitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, his son Zhao Yu sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he and Lin Mo were both sons of commanders, and since childhood he’d always been compared to Lin Mo—over time, his feelings toward Lin Mo had turned to resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this team composition, clearing a difficult-level Abyssal dungeon is impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you’re being foolish, Old Lin. You’re usually so sharp—why are you acting so stupid now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei sighed, tone laced with disappointment:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you wanted someone to train your Lin Mo, just tell me. Let Xiao Yu lead them—wouldn’t that be better than this ragtag group?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei shook his head, sighing again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this setup, they won’t even break through the defenses. Their survival rate… is effectively zero.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop talking out of your ass!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao snorted coldly. “This was supposed to be a routine leveling run—who could’ve predicted a one-in-a-hundred-thousand Abyssalization? Zhao Lei, don’t play the saint here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao and Zhao Lei had been locked in covert rivalry for half their lives, always outmatching each other in military merit and strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Zhao Lei’s son had become accomplished, he expected Lin Tianhao to beg him to let his son lead Lin Mo? It would hurt more than death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, who could have foreseen such bad luck as Abyssalization?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, I won’t argue with you about this—what’s done is done.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei glanced at Lin Tianhao, showing no desire to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lin Tianhao’s son was practically dead already; if he provoked him now, Zhao Lei knew he couldn’t win a fight against Lin Tianhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fortunately, this is only a difficult-level dungeon. Once it reopens, my Xiao Yu will lead his elite level-5 squad straight in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei pointed to the young men behind him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The dungeon has a level cap of 3–5; they’re all level 5, equipped with full legendary gear, perfectly coordinated—this is currently the only force in Jianghai City capable of clearing this Abyssal dungeon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu stepped forward, wearing the confident, arrogant air of an S-rank prodigy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Lin, Aunt Su, please rest easy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though Mo-di probably won’t make it… I’ll be ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As soon as the dungeon resets, I’ll lead the charge in and personally sever the boss’s head—to avenge Mo-di!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan, who had remained silent until now, suddenly lifted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bloodshot eyes burned with the stubborn, unyielding resolve unique to a mother:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who says Mo’er will die?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice trembled slightly, yet was fiercely firm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The dungeon hasn’t reset yet—that means they’re still alive! I believe in my son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe… maybe Mo’er won’t just survive—he might even clear this Abyssal dungeon along the way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that right, Old Lin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan turned to Lin Tianhao, her eyes filled with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if his nod alone could make her son live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao looked into his wife’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clear the dungeon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew better than anyone how impossible it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing her tear-filled gaze, how could he utter the cruel word “no”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao took a deep breath, voice hoarse: “Yes. Mo’er can do it. He absolutely can!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Zhao Lei froze for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he simply shook his head helplessly, offering no further rebuttal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A talentless zero-rank mage leading a ragtag squad clearing an Abyssal dungeon? Pure fantasy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei adjusted his glasses, silently sneering inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Mo actually clears this dungeon with that setup, I, Zhao Lei, will eat the tire of this military SUV right here today!\u003C\u002Fp>",1146,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2fe63a2aad4bfdded737d18f246d569096dd007799ce928997ae25f360f6e269","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-17","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-15",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
