Chapter 195: A Total Mess?

In the skill bar.

With Xiao Tu's reminder, Xiao Hu also realized it.

The new arrival, Xiao Bing, could use three high-grade skills on her first day, and now even her longtime rival Xiao Lei is outpacing her in high-grade skills?

Why?!

Don't forget, Xiao Lei is just like her—she can use special skills too.

This time, the top spot is truly at risk!

【【Fireball】 blinked, then turned to look at the other side of the skill bar—【Lightning Strike】—and gritted its teeth: Why?!】

【【Lightning Strike】 merely gave 【Fireball】 a cold glance, shrugging with startling humanity.】

【【Lightning Strike】: "I've said it before—I have no interest in competing with anyone. What's mine, is mine."】

Watching Lightning Strike's cold, aloof, show-off demeanor.

【【Fireball】 fumed: "Damn show-off!"】

In reality.

Lin Mo paid no attention to the reactions inside the skill bar.

His attention was drawn to Gu He's words.

Who would've thought today's trip would bring an unexpected reward!

Heavenly Punishment: Thunder God Spear!

And it's even regarded as the strongest single-target damage skill among all elemental high-grade techniques!

That title…

Just hearing it made his blood boil.

Lin Mo stared at Gu He with burning eyes:

"Report, Principal!"

"Student is desperate to learn this divine technique! Please, Principal, teach me!"

Watching Lin Mo's fiery determination.

Gu He burst into laughter, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Good lad!"

"Having drive is a good thing!"

But then, Gu He's smile slightly faded.

His expression turned grave.

He looked at Lin Mo and spoke with solemn gravity:

"But Lin Mo, old man here must warn you first."

"This technique, 'Heavenly Punishment: Thunder God Spear,' as the strongest single-target high-grade skill, is unquestionably powerful—but likewise…"

"Its mastery difficulty is nothing short of hellish!"

Gu He held up three fingers:

"Right now, across the entire Dragon Nation…"

"Among all Thunder mages, fewer than three have successfully mastered this skill!"

At these words,

Fang Lei, Li Xue'er, and the others behind them gasped sharply.

Fewer than three across the entire Dragon Nation?!

Although Thunder mages are as rare among all mages as Ice mages,

yet…

The total number of professionals in the Dragon Nation is enormous.

Even so, there are still quite a few Thunder mages!

Gu He sighed and continued:

"Thunder element is inherently violent."

"The core of this technique is to compress wildly violent lightning into a spear."

"Even old man here…"

Gu He's eyes flickered with helplessness:

"I've studied this technique for twenty years, and still, I feel certain aspects remain imperfect."

Hearing Gu He's reflection,

Xu Wenchang couldn't help but interject.

He stepped forward, waving his hand with a smile:

"Principal, don't say it's imperfect."

"With the power of your technique, among professionals of the same level across the Dragon Nation, who could withstand your spear head-on?"

Hearing Xu Wenchang's flattery,

Gu He chuckled softly and shook his head.

He didn't dwell on the topic, but turned to Lin Mo:

"Enough idle talk. Let's begin."

"Lin Mo, watch closely!"

As his words ended,

Gu He turned and strode forward toward the dead-white ice plain.

His steps were steady and powerful.

With each step, his aura rose higher.

Behind him,

Fang Lei, Li Xue'er, and the other senior students trembled with excitement.

"My god…"

Fang Lei whispered, voice thick with barely contained excitement:

"Principal Gu is about to act!"

"I've been at Jingda for four full years—this is the first time I've ever seen the Principal fight!"

Li Xue'er gripped her sleeve tightly, eyes gleaming:

"This is the top Thunder mage in the entire Dragon Nation!"

"This trip to the back mountain was worth it!"

…

On the ice plain,

Gu He stopped.

Then,

he sharply raised his right hand.

In an instant,

BOOM—!!

The silent sky was ripped apart.

Thick thunderclouds instantly filled the entire heavens.

ZZZT…

Countless visible lightning arcs flickered wildly around the clouds.

"Thunder God Descends!"

Gu He growled.

Before everyone's stunned gaze,

a colossal thunder god phantom, dozens of meters tall, emerged from the clouds.

The phantom was formed entirely of lightning, with countless electric currents swirling around its body.

"Gather!"

Gu He's eyes flared wide as he clenched his right hand violently.

BOOM—BOOM—BOOM—!!!

Thunderous roars erupted from within the clouds.

The thunder god phantom mirrored his motion, raising its hand.

Infinite lightning surged from the clouds, violently compressing and condensing.

In mere moments,

a spear formed entirely of pure lightning energy hovered in midair.

The Thunder God Spear stretched over fifty meters in length.

Lightning arcs danced along its shaft like furious dragons.

At this moment,

veins bulged on Gu He's forehead.

Clearly, he was exhausting his mental power to suppress the violent lightning element.

But the ferocity of the lightning element cannot be fully controlled.

Lightning continuously flashed across the sky, tearing blackened scars through the air.

This scene.

The sheer ferocity of this power made everyone present's scalp prick with fear.

"So this is the single-target skill hailed as the strongest among all high-grade techniques… Thunder God Spear…"

Fang Lei murmured, staring at the awe-inspiring sight.

Li Xue'er, beside him, was pale as paper, her hands tightly clamped over her mouth.

"Too terrifying…"

"Thank goodness for Young Master Lin Mo!"

Li Xue'er's eyes burned with fervor and relief:

"If not for Young Master Lin Mo, I never would've believed I'd witness the principal unleash a technique of this caliber in my lifetime!"

Meanwhile,

Guhe seemed to have completed gathering the lightning.

He sharply thrust his hand forward.

"Go!"

The spectral silhouette of the Thunder God behind him mirrored the motion, swinging its arm.

The colossal lightning spear suspended in midair shot forth in an instant!

A deafening sonic boom ripped through the heavens.

The spear became a radiant aurora piercing heaven and earth.

Its speed reached its absolute peak!

Hundreds of meters vanished in the blink of an eye!

BOOM!!!!!

The Thunder God Spear slammed violently into a low hill at the edge of the plain.

The next moment,

A cataclysmic explosion erupted with thunderous force!

Endless lightning raged wildly across the mountain, unleashing its fury!

A violent shockwave, mixed with shattered rocks and soil, surged outward in all directions.

Zhang Daoyuan's eyes sharpened; he slammed his massive shield hard onto the ground.

"Boom!"

The shield rose up, firmly shielding everyone within.

The residual waves struck the barrier, sending ripples cascading across its surface.

When the lightning faded,

Everyone looked ahead.

"Ssshh—"

Every single person drew a sharp, synchronized breath.

Ahead,

The low hill that had once stood on the plain had vanished completely.

Only a charred, flat expanse remained.

"My god…"

Fang Lei swallowed hard:

"Ice element is the ultimate stillness, the despairing freeze."

"But lightning… is pure, overwhelming ferocity and destruction!"

At this moment,

Lin Mo, standing at the very front, was also glowing with excitement.

So powerful!

This is what a true supreme single-target technique looks like!

Inside his mind, Lin Mo excitedly called out:

"Little Thunder!"

"Did you see that?"

In his skill bar,

【"Lightning Strike" flickered faintly with lightning: "A mess. Let the King try it."】

"... mess?!"

Lin Mo froze for a moment.
