Extremely hard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice mages are the rarest among all mages—countless water mages spend their entire lives without ever touching ice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Han Xue’s eyes flashed with absolute confidence:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with your current talent, combined with my lifetime of insight into ice…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have one hundred percent certainty I can help you cross this abyss and fully master condensing water into ice within a month!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo listened, his expression unchanged, but inside he felt a strange thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, that’s a bit long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Han Xue’s suggestion, he’d planned to learn ice upon reaching level 30.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his skills were all… sentient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did it really need a whole month?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo reconsidered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A top-tier ice mage offering herself as a mentor? Why refuse a free gift?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the First Ice Mage of Long Country teaching nearby, whether providing theoretical support or inspiring the new “Water System juniors,” it was purely beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Lin Mo nodded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, when I reach Level 30, I’ll rely on Master Han for much guidance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Mo agree,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Xue’s face flickered with a hint of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you reach Level 30 and awaken your Water System, come to the Instructor Villa District, Villa A-8.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll show you just how terrifying an Ice System can be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll definitely come on time to pay my respects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha, excellent, excellent!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Principal Guhe, pleased that a major matter was settled, was in high spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at his wristwatch and waved his hand with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, it’s already past noon.
