Chapter 229: Fire Elemental Fragment, Frantic Absorption!

Listening to Nie Zhenguó's words.

Lin Mo stood in place, his eyes flickering slightly.

Inside him, a storm of emotion had just risen.

Dragon Guardian Envoy!

Rank superior to three levels, authorized to execute first and report later, unbound by conventional military zones or administrative constraints!

What an terrifying privilege!

With this title, he could literally walk sideways across the entire Dragon Nation.

No more worrying about petty formalities, no more fearing powerful aristocratic families who abused their status.

Because he himself was now the Dragon Nation's greatest "privilege."

"Huh…"

Lin Mo exhaled slowly.

The Dragon Nation truly had no reservations about him.

No testing, no suspicion, no so-called checks and balances.

Only full resource allocation, absolute trust, and complete empowerment!

If your talent is unmatched, if you value loyalty and righteousness, then the nation dares entrust the heavens to you!

"Thank you, Elder Nie!"

Lin Mo straightened his posture, his gaze firm, his tone more serious than ever before.

"If the Dragon Nation trusts me…"

"Then I pledge to you…"

"This title of Dragon Guardian Envoy shall never be tarnished!"

"As long as I live, the rules of this blue planet will one day be set by our Dragon Nation!"

Hearing Lin Mo's resolute vow,

Nie Zhenguó's eyes grew slightly moist, and he nodded repeatedly in satisfaction.

"Good! With those words, this old man's heart is finally at ease!"

Seeing this, Lin Tianhao beside him

shed his usual lazy demeanor, a proud smile curling at his lips.

He clapped Lin Mo on the shoulder.

"Hmm, now that's more like it."

"Power, influence, exclusive weapons, and materials."

"Only then does it match the dignity of my son, Lin Tianhao!"

"Remember, if you see someone you don't like, knock them down—no matter what happens, your old man and the Dragon Nation behind you will hold up the sky!"

At that moment,

the grand hall's doors opened.

Zhang Qi walked in.

"Elder Nie, the last five elemental fragments in our strategic vault are right here."

The next instant,

Zhang Qi pulled out five crystalline fragments radiating brilliant light.

Three were crimson as blood, one shimmered with blue radiance, one exuded the steady aura of earth.

Seeing these five fragments,

the elders present all quickened their breaths.

These were treasures every top-tier combatant dreamed of!

Nie Zhenguó turned his gaze away and looked at Lin Mo.

A deep curiosity flickered in his eyes.

"Lin Mo."

"When Principal Gu previously reported to me, he mentioned it multiple times."

"He said that every time you absorb an elemental fragment, you achieve perfect absorption—no waste, not even a speck."

"In my decades of life, I've never personally witnessed a young man above level thirty achieve perfect absorption."

Nie Zhenguó pointed at the fragments.

"Today, let this old man witness it firsthand?"

At these words,

Lin Tianhao rushed forward eagerly, eyes gleaming.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"Son, I've never seen it either!"

"Quick! Let your old man see how you do perfect absorption!"

Among those present,

only Guhe had personally witnessed Lin Mo's perfect absorption of the lightning fragment.

He stroked his beard, smiling silently.

Lin Mo smiled.

"Alright."

"Since Elder Nie and Dad want to see it, I'll show you."

Saying this,

he took the five elemental fragments from Zhang Qi's hands.

【Fire Elemental Fragment (Special)】

【Description: A fragment of the Fire Element's rule, embodying the supreme mysteries of the Fire Dao.】

【Use immediately?】

"Use."

Lin Mo activated his intent.

In an instant,

the crystal shattered, transforming into a streak of light that surged into Lin Mo's body.

【The flame of 'Fireball' surged wildly, ecstatic: "Aaaah! Here it comes! Here it comes! Here it comes!"】

【"Power! I feel pure, ultimate power!"】

【'Fireball' pounced like a ravenous tiger, voraciously devouring the incoming fire elemental energy!】

In mere moments,

BOOM!!!

An overwhelming fire pressure erupted from Lin Mo, spreading violently outward.

Behind Lin Mo,

the void twisted violently.

A phantom of the Flame Demon flashed briefly.

The Flame Demon roared to the heavens, its body wreathed in blazing fire, turning the entire hall crimson!

This was the signature elemental phenomenon of perfect absorption!

【Congratulations! Under the greedy devouring of the skill 'Fireball,' you achieved 'Perfect Absorption'!】

【Your special skill 'Body of Fire' has leveled up!】

【Body of Fire (Lv. ): After activation, a Flame Demon phantom forms behind you. All fire-based skill effects increase by 40% (including but not limited to damage, range, duration, penetration, etc.).】

【Tip: Absorb more fragments to continue leveling up, until finally forming a solidified 'Fire Avatar.'】

"Hss…"

Seeing this,

Zhang Qi involuntarily gasped.

"Truly… truly perfect absorption!"

"Not a single ripple of energy leaked out—so pure!"

Nie Zhenguó narrowed his eyes, his face filled with awe.

"Good lad…"

"Indeed, hearing is nothing compared to seeing."

Lin Tianhao was ecstatic:

"Hahahaha! Awesome! My son is awesome!"

Lin Mo ignored the stunned reactions.

He immediately activated the second fire elemental fragment.

In his skill bar,

another fire fragment shattered.

【'Fireball' went insane: "Holy shit? More?!"】

【"Hahahaha! Amazing! So amazing! This is the treatment a true boss deserves! Who dares say I'm not the top now?"】

【The "Fireball Spell" opened again like an endless abyss, devouring with extreme brutality.】

BOOM!!!

Behind Lin Mo, the infernal demon's phantom flickered past once more.

Perfect absorption phenomenon—explodes again!

【Your special skill "Fire Element Body" has leveled up!】

【Fire Element Body (Lv. ): After activation, all fire-based skill effects increase by 50% (including but not limited to damage, range, duration, etc.).】

"The second piece…"

"Two in a row, perfectly absorbed…"

Watching this, Zhang Qi couldn't help murmuring.

Lin Mo's movements had not stopped.

Next,

was the third fragment of fire element.

The fragment shattered again.

【The "Fireball Spell" groaned with pleasure: "Ah… overflowing! My power is about to burst forth!"】

【"Forbidden spell! I'm one step closer to a forbidden spell!"】

【"Hahaha, Brothers Two and Three, don't be too jealous—I'm the pillar of this family, after all! Hahaha!"】

【The "Fireball Spell" greedily lapped up every last scrap of fire energy, leaving nothing behind.】

BOOM——!!!!!

The third perfect phenomenon descended!

The infernal demon's phantom behind Lin Mo suddenly opened a demonic eye.

From that eye radiated a pressure that made the soul tremble.

【Your special skill "Fire Element Body" has leveled up!】

【Fire Element Body (Lv. ): After activation, all fire-based skill effects increase by 60% (including but not limited to damage, range, duration, etc.).】

"Level 4…"

"Already a 60% overall boost…"

Lin Mo sighed.

Even though he was already strong enough, the feeling of constant, unceasing growth still intoxicated him.
