Chapter 160: Realization: Thunder Element Body!

Pata—!

The fragments in Lin Mo's hand shattered instantly.

A blue streak of light shot into Lin Mo's third eye.

The seemingly calm form of the "Thunder Strike" technique trembled violently upon contact with this identical, supreme thunder force.

【The "Thunder Strike" opened its arms like a sovereign of thunder, greedily devouring this wild energy without letting a single spark escape.】

【The "Thunder Strike" form, originally merely a web of electric arcs, began to solidify at a visibly rapid pace.】

Boom—!!!

A violent aura of thunder radiated outward from Lin Mo in a circular wave.

"Back!"

Xu Wenchang's face changed, and he roared.

All the students of Dragon Order Class instinctively stepped back several paces.

The next instant,

A series of prompts appeared on Lin Mo's interface.

【Congratulations! Under perfect control of the skill "Thunder Strike," you achieved "Perfect Absorption"!】

【Congratulations! You have unlocked the special skill—Thunder Element Body (Lv. )!】

【Thunder Element Body (Lv. ): After activation, all thunder-based skill effects increase by 30%, including but not limited to damage, range, and duration.】

【Absorbing more fragments will raise the level and potency of "Thunder Element Body," until the Thunder Avatar is fully formed.】

Zitla…

Lightning flickered around Lin Mo's body.

Lin Mo opened his eyes; bolts of electricity flashed through his pupils and vanished.

At this moment,

Principal Guhe was staring at Lin Mo with an expression reserved for monsters.

He never imagined Lin Mo would absorb it on the spot.

And judging by Lin Mo's current state and this thunderous aura,

It couldn't be…

Could it be…

"Lin Mo, how did the absorption go?"

Principal Guhe's voice carried rare urgency and tension.

Lin Mo looked at Guhe, paused.

Then he shrugged:

"Hahaha, Principal, lucky me—perfect absorption."

"…"

Everyone fell silent.

They all knew Lin Mo's first fire element fragment had been perfectly absorbed outright.

Now the thunder fragment—also perfectly absorbed?

What the hell is this?

Zhang Daoyuan spoke first: "Student Lin Mo, could you… activate your Thunder Element Body for us to see?"

Even though Zhang Daoyuan had already sensed the thunderous aura emanating from Lin Mo,

His intuition told him Lin Mo was probably not lying.

But his ingrained common sense and worldview still refused to accept this absurd reality.

Seeing the expressions of everyone around him—eager to witness it—

Lin Mo internally chuckled.

"Might as well. Since you all want to see it, consider it a little show for everyone's amusement."

He took a deep breath.

The next instant,

The smile vanished from his face.

Boom—!!!

A deafening clap of thunder exploded!

Blinding lightning surged upward from Lin Mo's feet, piercing the clouds!

"Back! Everyone, retreat!"

Xu Wenchang roared.

Thousands of upperclassmen still on the square, including the medical team and the sophomore students who had just regained consciousness, all turned their gazes toward this spot.

Under the eyes of thousands,

Lin Mo's body was completely engulfed by wild lightning.

Amidst the storm of dancing thunder,

A terrifying phantom of a beast forged entirely from pure lightning slowly rose behind Lin Mo!

It was a… Thunder Kirin!

Its fearsome dragon horns, its muscular body covered in lightning scales, and its eyes burning with thunderfire, disdainful of all.

A crushing, soul-shaking pressure roared outward.

At this moment, Lin Mo stood beneath the Kirin's phantom, like a thunder god descending to execute heavenly punishment.

Dominant, unrestrained, utterly supreme!

"My god…"

Zhang Daoyuan stared at the thunder beast phantom, utterly numb.

Principal Guhe's eyes blazed with fanaticism:

"Under level 30… dual-element body!"

"Heaven favors our Dragon Nation! Heaven favors our Dragon Nation!!!"

…

In the stands,

Thousands of upperclassmen stared in shock at Lin Mo's direction.

"Blinded my eyes—what the hell is that?!"

"Thunder Element Body! Fuck… absorbed on the spot, then perfectly absorbed?!"

"Your mom, is this even a freshman?!"

In the center of the square,

Shen Jun, just awakened, was drawn by the blinding lightning.

"This… who is that?"

Shen Jun murmured.

Beside him, Zhou Kai, also just waking up, replied: "Jun Ge… it's Lin Mo. That's the Thunder Element Body, right?"

"Thunder Element Body…"

Gu Qingge stared ahead, whispering in despair:

"Demon Lin Mo… did he not even use his full strength in the dungeon?"

Hearing this,

Shen Jun snapped back to himself and shook his head:

"No, clearly this is newly awakened."

"At the moment he received the reward, before everyone's eyes, he absorbed it—and achieved perfect absorption."

Hearing Shen Jun's words,

Zhou Kai and Gu Qingge froze, then their pupils shrank sharply.

Perfect absorption on the first try?

Shen Jun let out a bitter laugh, his eyes filled only with helplessness and awe:

"Demon Lin Mo's power is terrifying—but what's more terrifying is… this monster's power has no ceiling."

"Losing to a monster like this… we didn't lose unfairly."

Gu Qingge and Zhou Kai fell completely silent.

Yes.

How could they possibly win against a demon whose progress was this absurd?

…

On the other side,

Lin Mo retracted the lightning.

The terrifying Kirin phantom slowly dissolved into the air.

Principal Guhe wept with joy:

"Good child! Good child! You are the blessing our Jing University and our Dragon Nation have not seen in a hundred years!"

Xu Wenchang's face glowed red as he turned to Zhang Daoyuan:

"Hahaha! Old Zhang, what do you think? Is my student worthy of this fragment?"

Zhang Daoyuan smiled bitterly and said:

"Worthy? More than worthy! Old Xu, what kind of monster did you pick up?"

At that moment,

a middle-aged man rushed over, holding a tablet computer.

"Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu!"

Xu Wenchang frowned, his smile fading. "Old Ma? What's happened? Why the panic?"

Old Ma gasped for breath, thrusting the tablet toward Xu Wenchang, teeth clenched:

"Just now, the Yamato Nation's 'Oni Clan' took our team's dungeon clearance record again."

"And... and those bastards left a public taunt!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wenchang immediately looked down at the tablet.

【Grave Dragon Snowfield (Hell Rank), Clearing Team: Shinonozuki Kyō, Yanagi Kenichi, Amanogusa Sōichirō...】

【Clearing Time: 15 minutes 45 seconds】

15 minutes 45 seconds!

Nearly three minutes faster than Dragon Nation's previous record!

Xu Wenchang scrolled further down.

A comment written in pure Dragon Nation script laid bare the Yamato people's innate arrogance.

【We heard your record stood unbroken for fifty years. Today we came to test it—only to find it crushed beneath our casual step. Your so-called limit record is pathetically fragile.】
