Chapter 200: The Tricky Targeting Phase?

While the others were still in shock.

Han Mengqing stepped forward and grabbed Lin Mo's sleeve, pressing further:

"That ultra-class skill wasn't learned… Class monitor, what did you manage to learn this morning?"

"Did you master any high-level skills?"

Hearing this question,

Lin Mo rubbed his chin.

"High-level skills… I learned a few."

"Hmm, let me count."

"I've learned four high-level skills total: three ice-type and one lightning-type, one of the ice skills being my own creation."

"…"

"Sss…"

The others were stunned again.

In just one morning, he learned four high-level skills!

And he even created one himself!

Awesome.

Wang Dawei muttered:

"My goodness…"

"Adding the three high-level skills the class monitor already knew, he now… holds seven high-level skills?"

Han Mengyao took a deep breath.

Obviously, you couldn't guess at the capabilities of a freak like this.

Seven high-level skills!

What kind of concept is that?

Most Law Kings can only master two high-level skills at most.

Anyone who knows three is already an extremely rare genius.

And yet you, a freshman, come in with seven high-level skills across four elements as a Law King…

Is this even fair?

Lin Mo waved his hand.

"Enough, enough."

"Let's not talk about this anymore."

Lin Mo's expression turned serious as he looked at Han Mengyao:

"Tell me about the Team Fuben we're going to tackle this time."

Hearing Lin Mo bring up the matter at hand,

Han Mengyao forcibly suppressed her shock.

She pulled out a tablet and opened a file.

"Class monitor, the Team Fuben we're tackling this time is the 【Desert Sand Temple】, set in a desert environment."

Han Mengyao's expression turned Serious:

"This Team Fuben is largely similar to the 【Dragon Burial Snowfield】—the monsters all have extremely high HP and enhanced defense mechanisms."

"But it also has one difference from the 【Dragon Burial Snowfield】, and it's a particularly troublesome one."

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow:

"Oh? Go on."

Han Mengyao pointed to a monster image on the tablet.

"In the second stage of the Team Fuben,

we'll encounter a boss guarding the stage: the Desert Sand High Priest."

"This boss has an extremely annoying mandatory targeting mechanism."

"When its HP drops to half, it immediately enters an absolute invincibility state!"

"Unlike the 【Dragon Burial Snowfield】's simple increase in high defense, this is absolute invincibility!"

"Oh? Absolute invincibility? That's indeed quite troublesome…"

Lin Mo frowned.

Han Mengyao glanced at Lin Mo and nodded, continuing:

"Yes."

"After entering invincibility, it begins targeting everyone in the area."

"It randomly locks onto ten targets."

"Those targeted are forcibly immobilized by Sand Prison, unable to move or cast any skills."

"This control cannot be avoided—once targeted, you are inevitably controlled."

"At the same time, it also summons a massive wave of minor monsters to swarm us."

Saying this,

Han Mengyao sighed and looked at Lin Mo:

"If the targeting lands on someone else, it's manageable—but if it targets you, Class Monitor…"

Han Mengyao stared at Lin Mo and smiled bitterly:

"If you're forcibly immobilized, we'll instantly lose our core clearing firepower."

"That way, total wipeout isn't likely—our Long Xu Ban members, while nowhere near the boss's strength, are all top-tier elites."

"But it will definitely slow down our clear time significantly."

After saying this,

Han Mengqing suddenly spoke up:

"Big sis, in this mechanic, does the summoner's pet count as a targeted target?"

Han Mengyao nodded:

"Correct."

"The summoner's pet is indeed considered an independent target."

"Although summoners at this stage can summon only a few pets—no more than four or five—they can effectively distribute the targeting load."

Hearing this, Han Mengqing sighed:

"Ah, what a shame—our current Long Xu Ban has every class, but not a single strong summoner."

Han Mengyao shook her head helplessly:

"Summoners… each one is a core national combat asset, incredibly powerful."

"But they're too weak early on, and far too rare—only in this Team Fuben do they really shine."

Hearing this,

Chu Lingxuan clenched her small fist, her gaze firm as she looked at Lin Mo and reassured him:

"It's fine!"

"Even without a summoner, Brother Lin Mo is so strong—if he gets targeted, it's just a bit of wasted time in the second phase."

"But we can make up that time in the other phases!"

"With Brother Lin Mo here, we can still smash the Ying Kingdom's record!"

Listening to the discussion,

Lin Mo fell silent.

Targeting mechanic?

Do summoner pets count as targets?

Then what about the two high-level ice skills I just learned today—the Frost Death Warriors and Frost Giant legions I summoned? Do they count too?

A same-level summoner can summon at most four or five pets—useful, but limited.

My two legions? That's hundreds of targets…

How convenient.

As a mage, I happen to know a bit of summoning.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo's lips curled into a faint smile.

Whether it works or not—we'll find out once we enter.

Lin Mo turned to the group, waved his hand, and cut through their anxiety:

"Enough. Don't overthink it. Just reclaim the record."

He turned around, facing the glowing rift of the 【Crazy Sands Divine Temple】 Team Fuben.

On it still hung the Ying Kingdom's clear record: 17 minutes 46 seconds.

"Let's go. Quick and decisive."

Lin Mo said calmly.

Seeing their boss so composed and confident, the Long Xu Ban members no longer hesitated.

"Yes, Boss!"

The group responded in unison, their spirit soaring.

Inside the Team Fuben center.

The watching students, seeing Long Xu Ban finish their pre-battle discussion and prepare to enter the Team Fuben, erupted into cheers.

"Go Long Xu Ban!!!"

"Big Devil, crush the Ying Kingdom brats' record!"

"Charge! Take back our Long Kingdom's record!!!"

Under countless pairs of eyes blazing with fervor and anticipation,

Lin Mo led the way.

Leading the Long Xu Ban members, he strode boldly into the Team Fuben rift.

A flash of light.

Twenty figures vanished instantly from the Team Fuben center.
