Chapter 183: You Were Told to Go All Out, Not to Eliminate Them!

Behind the villa's courtyard.

Lin Mo stood in place.

Opposite him stood six senior students, fully prepared.

Fang Lei was now flexing his wrists.

"Younger brother Lin Mo."

"Treat us as your true enemies!"

"Hold nothing back! Have no reservations!"

"Give it your all! Go all out!"

Fang Lei's words rang out with mighty conviction.

Not only did they ignite the fighting spirit of Li Xue'er and others nearby, but also caused Han Xue, standing a short distance away, to nod silently in approval.

Real combat demands this kind of momentum.

Li Xue'er also smiled:

"Younger brother Lin Mo, prepare to be attacked."

The moment her words ended,

Lin Mo's skill bar instantly flared to life.

【【Fireball Spell】—flames surged violently around him: "Oh? Going all out? I didn't expect such a lowly insect would dare make such a demand—then I shall mercifully oblige you!"】

【【Lightning Strike Spell】—electric arcs danced across his body: "Try me."】

【【Earth Shield Spell】—waving its arms excitedly: "Hehe, second brother is ready too! No one shall harm the Master!"】

At the same time,

BOOM—!!!

The gentle breeze that had been blowing vanished instantly.

Behind Lin Mo, space twisted violently!

To his left, the phantom silhouette of the Flame Demon rose from the ground.

Its massive fiery eyes gazed down with cold indifference; the searing heat warped the air wildly.

To his right, violent thunder roared and crackled.

The majestic phantom of the Thunder Qilin lifted its head and roared; blinding lightning turned half the training ground into blinding white.

Immediately after,

RUMBLE—RUMBLE—RUMBLE—!!!

The ground beneath their feet began to shake violently.

"What the hell!"

"W-wait—!!!"

Fang Lei's face turned pale; he raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Li Xue'er beside him and the other four senior students all stepped back several paces in unison, their faces filled with shock.

Damn it!

"Go all out" meant giving your all to master the skill—not using three high-rank elements and two special techniques to blast us to ashes!

Although their ranks far surpassed Lin Mo's,

the high-rank skills in Lin Mo's hands were a dimensional-level assault.

None of them had even learned high-rank skills yet.

If these attacks landed, even with higher rank and more HP, they'd be left half-dead…

And Han Laoshi's villa would probably be destroyed too.

"No!"

"Younger brother Lin Mo, wait!"

"'Go all out' doesn't mean this!"

"We're practicing ice skills!! Why are you pulling out fire and lightning?!"

Li Xue'er's voice cracked with near-tears as she shouted.

"Lin Mo, stop!"

Han Xue also frowned slightly and quickly called out to halt him.

In the center of the field,

"..."

Lin Mo's forehead was lined with black veins.

He looked at the senior students before him, terrified out of their wits, and felt speechless.

Could he be blamed?

You yourselves said "go all out."

As soon as my subordinates heard that, they instantly entered battle mode—their instinct to protect the Master reached maximum.

"Alright, stand down."

Lin Mo sighed inwardly.

【【Fireball Spell】—flickered its flames discontentedly: "Tch, humans are such a hassle. Said 'go all out,' then suddenly yell 'stop.' Can't handle it, can you?"】

【【Earth Shield Spell】—muttered quietly: "Yeah, yeah, so dramatic..."】

【【Lightning Strike Spell】—said coolly: "Hmph. Boring."】

The next instant,

the phantom silhouettes of the Flame Demon and Thunder Qilin behind Lin Mo slowly faded.

The trembling ground calmed.

The breeze returned.

Everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

Lin Mo looked at the group before him, still shaken, and scratched his head awkwardly.

"Heh, heh..."

"Uh, seniors, I just... heard you say 'go all out' and reacted instinctively..."

"My bad, my bad. I'll be more careful next time."

Fang Lei, Li Xue'er, and the others stared at Lin Mo's innocent expression, their mouths twitching in unison.

Instinctive reaction?

Who in their right mind has a freshman whose instinct is to unleash two special techniques plus high-rank skills right out the gate?

You're not sparring—you're trying to eliminate us!

"Cough, cough..."

Han Xue stepped forward, breaking the awkward silence.

She looked at Lin Mo seriously and said:

"Your fire and lightning dual-element skills are too destructive."

"From now on, you may use only ice-element skills."

"Your task is to seize the moment of ice-element resonance under the six of them' pressure and suppression, and successfully master 'Absolute Frost Chain Explosion.'"

With that,

Han Xue pulled out several scrolls and turned to Fang Lei and the others.

"These are ice-element weakening scrolls. Once used, your ice resistance will drop by 80% for one hour, and your ice damage will also be reduced by 80%."

"But other attributes remain unaffected."

She paused, then added:

"This way, Lin Mo will face sufficient pressure, yet you won't harm him under your rank advantage—and he'll have a chance to counter with his ice skills."

Upon hearing this, Fang Lei and the others took the scrolls without hesitation.

No complaints.

On the contrary, they wished they could bind themselves with ten or twenty such restraints.

After all, lowering attack and ice resistance was far better than being reduced to ash by dual-element special techniques!

Han Xue turned back to Lin Mo, her tone solemn:

"Lin Mo, any questions?"

"No questions. I can begin anytime, using only ice-element skills."

Lin Mo nodded, his gaze sharpening.

With Lin Mo's assurance,

Fang Lei, Li Xue'er, and the others finally exhaled in relief.

They immediately activated the scrolls.

Faint blue auras merged into their bodies.

All of them clearly felt their internal ice elements suppressed by an unknown force.

Yet they could still cast ice skills—just with drastically reduced power.

"Phew... scared the hell out of me. I thought I was gonna die here today."

Li Xue'er patted her chest and let out a long breath.

Fang Lei also wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Young brother Lin Mo…"

Fang Lei looked at Lin Mo and spoke earnestly:

"I've put my life in your hands—don't you dare let your reflexes slip when the time comes!"

With that, he patted his chest and swore:

"Don't worry—our attacks have been greatly weakened; even if they hit you, it'll only be minor bruises, no life-threatening danger."

"Now, truly feel the essence of Extreme Cold Chain Explosion!"

Li Xue'er also regained her fighting spirit and waved her tiny pink fist:

"That's right! Young brother Lin Mo, Extreme Cold Chain Explosion is hard—if you can't learn it today, it's fine!"

"We six will practice with you slowly!"

"Come on! Let the true ice battle begin!"

Looking at the enthusiastic senior students,

Lin Mo took a deep breath.

His eyes instantly sharpened.

"Since my senior brothers and sisters are being so generous,"

"then I won't hold back."

Then, Lin Mo gave the Ice Spike Spell an internal command:

"Little Ice, go reclaim our honor—if you dare slip up again, you're banished to the Cold Palace!"

At these words,

【The "Ice Spike Spell" instantly tensed all over!】

【The "Ice Spike Spell" let out a cold, haughty cry: "Master, rest assured! This lady will show them what true ice magic is!"】
