Chapter 197: Simply a Complete Reversal of Heaven and Earth!

The rear-mountain plain.

A stinging burnt smell, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust, spread through the air.

Fang Lei and Li Xue'er and the others stared blankly toward the far end of the plain.

There, two low hills had originally stood.

And now,

both low hills were completely gone!

Principal Guhe had blasted one flat.

Great Demon King Lin Mo had blasted the other flat.

Fang Lei swallowed hard, his mouth dry and parched.

"He… he perfectly replicated it again…"

Li Xue'er also smiled bitterly again and again. "Junior Lin Mo, why do I feel like he's just a copier?"

Xu Wenchang turned his head, glanced at Zhang Daoyuan beside him, and raised an eyebrow.

The meaning in that look was very clear.

See?

What did I say earlier?

Zhang Daoyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, completely out of temper.

Just then,

the crowd noticed that Guhe suddenly started walking, heading toward Lin Mo with some urgency.

Without the slightest hesitation, the crowd immediately followed.

……

At this moment,

before Lin Mo could even catch his breath,

Guhe had already rushed up to him.

"Principal?"

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, looking at Guhe whose face was flushed red and breathing rapid.

"How was it? My thunder spear just now, not bad, right?"

"……"

Guhe stared fixedly at Lin Mo.

Not good enough?

If this freaking thing counts as not good enough, then what do all these years of my old man's research amount to? Dog shit?!

Guhe took a deep breath.

His hands suddenly grabbed Lin Mo's shoulders.

"Lin Mo!"

"How… exactly how did you do it?"

"The power of thunder is the most violent element in this world!"

"Even with my spiritual force, it's not enough to suppress it to such a degree—how… how did you do it?"

Guhe's eyes were full of bewilderment.

Logically speaking, his spiritual force was countless times stronger than Lin Mo's.

Yet, after all these years of research, he still couldn't tame the thunder element as obediently as Lin Mo did.

"How did you manage to control that violent thunder element so… so docile?"

"As if they were perfectly willing to be used by you, reining in all their violence for you?!"

At this moment.

Guhe was no longer the lofty principal of the Capital University.

Nor was he the top-tier thunder mage who struck awe across Dragon Nation.

He was like an狂热 apprentice who had encountered a difficult problem, humbly seeking guidance from a predecessor who had grasped the truth.

This bizarre scene.

caused the crowd that had just caught up to collectively petrify.

Fang Lei and Li Xue'er exchanged a glance.

What was going on?!

The crowd looked at one another.

Xu Wenchang and Zhang Daoyuan also showed strange expressions.

Seeing things right?

The dignified principal of the Capital University…

was actually asking a freshman for advice?

Truly…

an eye-opener.

……

At this moment.

Lin Mo was also a bit dumbfounded.

He stood frozen in place, blinking.

How did I do it?

How the hell would I know how I did it?!

I just raised my hand, then let Little Lei go do the work — the rest was all automatic!

Still, facing the principal's eyes, so hungry for truth.

Lin Mo knew he couldn't play dumb.

He immediately asked inwardly.

"Little Lei!"

"The principal is asking you — how did you do it? How did you make Lei Ting so obedient?"

In the skill column.

【【Lightning Strike Art】 flickered with Lei Guang all over, standing proudly with hands clasped behind its back.】

【【Lightning Strike Art】 gave a cold snort: "Suppress? Nonsense. Lei Ting is the fury of the heavens, the embodiment of destruction — how could mortal force suppress the heavens?"】

"…Speak human."

Lin Mo's mouth twitched.

【【Lightning Strike Art】 wriggled its body slightly: "Feel its rage, resonate with its savagery, and finally… become the might of heaven itself!"】

After speaking, 【Lightning Strike Art】 went silent, dimming down, seemingly too lazy to say more.

Listening to Little Lei's words in his mind.

Lin Mo's whole body went numb.

"…"

Is that even human language?

Forget it.

Let it be.

It is a high-tier skill after all — being a bit mystical is perfectly normal.

Lin Mo took a deep breath and met Principal Guhe's fervent gaze.

"Principal."

"Lei Ting is the fury of the heavens, the embodiment of destruction. One should not try to suppress it, but to feel it, and become… the might of heaven itself."

"…"

The moment those words came out.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Fang Lei and Li Xue'er whispered to each other behind him.

"You… understand it?"

"I don't understand it at all!"

Li Xue'er also shook her head. "Become the might of heaven itself? How? Go get struck by lightning?"

Just as the two were whispering.

Han Xue turned her head and shot them a cold glare.

"Shut up."

"Comprehending high-tier skills depends on each person's own enlightenment."

"You don't understand because you're still far behind — that's perfectly normal."

"Stay quiet and don't disturb the principal!"

Being scolded by Han Xue like that.

Fang Lei and Li Xue'er immediately shrank their necks in fright.

But inwardly, the two were utterly speechless.

D-don't disturb the principal?

That's completely backwards!

……

At this moment,

Guhe released his grip on Lin Mo's shoulders.

He seemed to be pondering Lin Mo's words.

"Become the might of heaven itself… feel it…"

A bright light flickered in his eyes.

After a moment,

He suddenly found peace.

"I understand now…"

"I never expected that everything I pursued before was completely wrong."

"I was too arrogant — I always thought of suppressing the elements, yet forgot their very essence…"

Guhe took a deep breath.

Then, looking at Lin Mo, he bent slightly at the waist and said with utmost solemnity:

"Lin Mo, thank you. Without you, I'm afraid I would have kept marching down the wrong path."

Faced with Guhe's sudden grand gesture.

Lin Mo got a fright and hurriedly reached out to steady Guhe.

"No, no, no!"

"Principal, you're killing me with such praise."

"I just got lucky like a blind cat catching a dead mouse. It's because you have such a deep foundation that a single hint was all it took."

Principal Guhe straightened up, looked at Lin Mo, his eyes full of admiration.

The more he looked, the more he liked him.

Monstrous talent, yet neither arrogant nor impatient.

Knows reverence, yet willing to share the truth.

"Good lad."

Principal Guhe stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

Then, his expression recovered the dignity and composure befitting a principal.

"Alright, that's it for today."

"Transcendent-tier skills, you can't learn them yet. As for high-tier skills... Han Laoshi and I have both already taught... demonstrated them for you."

"And you used them even better than us."

Hearing Principal Guhe's half-joking words.

Lin Mo smiled.

"Thank you, Han Laoshi and Principal Guhe, for teaching me everything today."

Han Xue's face also rarely showed a trace of a gentle smile.

She gently shook her head:

"No need to thank me."

"I should be the one thanking you."

"Being able to teach a student like you is an honor as a teacher; this is what I should do."

Principal Guhe also chimed in from the side:

"Han Laoshi is right."

"Lin Mo, you don't need to be so modest."

"For a student like you to appear in Dragon Nation, this is the great fortune of our Dragon Nation, a sign of Dragon Nation's flourishing destiny!"

Being lavished with such high praise by these two big shots in turn.

Lin Mo was praised until he felt a bit embarrassed.

He could only chuckle dryly while scratching the back of his head.

"That's enough."

Principal Guhe patted Lin Mo's shoulder.

"Your consumption this morning was definitely not small. Go back and rest well first, have some lunch."

Having said that.

Principal Guhe's gaze sharpened slightly, a glint of edge flashing through:

"Today we can run the team dungeon again. Those clowns from Ying Nation still hold the two dungeon records that belong to our Dragon Nation."

"Go on, go take the records back!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo's expression turned solemn.

"No problem, Principal!"

"Those records were originally ours, Dragon Nation's."

Immediately after, he waved to everyone.

"Then Principal, Han Laoshi, Teacher Xu, Director Zhang, I'll be off first!"

"Go on, go on."

Principal Guhe smiled and waved his hand.

Lin Mo turned and left this rear mountain that had turned into a glacier.
