Chapter 23

【'Fireball Spell' with a grumpy waking-up face: What the hell is that noise? You woke me up.】

On the panel, the Fireball Spell icon trembled.

【'Fireball Spell' looking around angrily: Who's causing trouble? Get out here!】

Before Lin Mo could comfort them.

【'Earth Shield Spell' in terror: Master, be careful! Strange sounds, and enemies!】

"..."

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, "Xiao Tu, that's your big brother, Fireball Spell. It's one of us, it's fine."

Hearing this, the tense nerves of 【Earth Shield Spell】 finally relaxed a bit.

【'Earth Shield Spell' letting out a long breath: Scared me to death... So it's big brother.】

【'Fireball Spell' finally realized, eyeing this new little brother suspiciously: Huh? I have a little brother? When did that happen?】

Before it could figure out the situation, as a being extremely sensitive to fire elements, the non-existent nose of the Little Fireball twitched twice.

【'Fireball Spell' frowning: Wait, in this air... why is there a faint smell of fire elements?】

【'Fireball Spell' staring at the wall in front, stunned: What is this thing? Why is there a mountain in front?】

Lin Mo explained patiently:

"Just now someone tested an attack with a small fireball. This was made by your newly recruited little brother to block skills."

Hearing this, 【Fireball Spell】 was silent for three seconds first, then showed a look of contempt.

【'Fireball Spell' snorting: Just this little bit of fire elements, and you built such a huge wall to block it?】

【'Fireball Spell' full of disgust: Actually getting scared like this by such trash? Don't say I'm your big brother if this gets out; I'd lose face. True strong ones don't need such turtle shells.】

【'Earth Shield Spell' weakly retorting: Um... safety first. What if it hurts even a single hair on Master? I don't think I did wrong.】

【'Fireball Spell' rolling its eyes: Come on, coward is coward, don't make excuses. Attacks of this level, I'm too lazy to even look at them directly; only you useless things would make such a fuss.】

【'Earth Shield Spell' muttering softly: I never admitted to being your little brother anyway... I only have one big brother, and that's Master. Just a brute...】

【'Fireball Spell' eyes turning cold: What did you say? Say it again if you dare?】

【'Earth Shield Spell' sticking out its neck: I said Master is the most handsome!】

"Enough, shut up both of you."

Lin Mo, hearing the two skills arguing there, just felt his head ache, "Xiao Huo, if you keep arguing, tonight's dragon meat is cancelled."

At these words, the Fireball Spell icon flickered a few times and fell silent.

That trick again, truly despicable.

【'Fireball Spell' feeling humiliated; it was a noble existence destined to become a forbidden spell, yet now it was controlled by a piece of meat, simply an utter disgrace!】

【'Fireball Spell' feeling indignant; if it didn't have a mouth, why be controlled by others? When will this life of living under someone else's roof ever end?】

【'Fireball Spell' status update: Muted】

Seeing the big brother instantly fall silent, 【Earth Shield Spell】 immediately felt it had followed the right person.

【'Earth Shield Spell' full of admiration: Indeed, Master is amazing! One sentence and that brute is completely controlled.】

Seeing the Fireball Spell finally quiet down, Lin Mo let out a long sigh of relief.

The world was finally quiet.

"Young Master, Young Master?"

At this moment, Shi Tou's voice came from behind the wall, "You... are you okay?"

Lin Mo brushed the dust off his clothes, walked out from behind the earthen wall, looking calm:

"I'm fine, Brother Shi Tou's Fireball Spell control is very good, didn't hurt me at all."

Outside the earthen wall, absolute silence.

Ah Hu, Shi Tou, and Ye Hongyu were currently eyeing the earthen wall in front of them.

"Good heavens..."

Ah Hu reached out and touched the rough, thick earthen wall.

Cool to the touch, hard to an infuriating degree.

"Shi Tou, tell me the truth."

Ah Hu turned to look at Shi Tou beside him, "How long did it take you to learn this skill back then?"

Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Shi Tou's face.

If it were before today, he would proudly state that he had successfully comprehended it just five days after changing classes, having eaten a skill book.

But now...

Shi Tou was a bit embarrassed, his voice as small as a mosquito buzzing: "F... five days, plus eating a 【Earth Flow Wall】 skill book for assistance."

Hearing this answer, Ah Hu and Ye Hongyu showed not a shred of mocking expression.

They all knew clearly in their hearts that comprehending a low-tier skill in five days was already a very fast speed for S-rank elemental affinity.

An S-rank genius, took five days, and still had to eat a skill book.

But what about Young Master Lin Mo, the 'blank slate' young master?

From getting that most basic 【Earth Shield Spell】 skill book to releasing this wall of sighs, all told... it was only five minutes, right?

He actually used a basic skill book to comprehend an advanced skill!

Where is this a gap in talent; this is simply a gap in species!

"Young Master..."

Shi Tou took a deep breath, walked to the earthen wall, and knocked on it a few times.

"This is a low-tier earth-element skill 【Earth Flow Wall】, and judging by the structure, it was released perfectly, completely capable of blocking attacks from practitioners ten levels higher than you."

Shi Tou looked at this practically perfect 【Earth Flow Wall】 and couldn't help but murmur:

"Young Master, with this kind of call and control over the Earth Element, even if you told me you were the illegitimate son of the Earth God, I'd believe it..."

Hearing this, Ah Hu and Ye Hongyu, standing aside, not only did not refute, but nodded in extreme agreement.

Last night was the reincarnation of the Fire God; today is the Son of the Earth.

The case is solved.

The Young Master is most likely their illegitimate son.

Facing the gazes of the three, Lin Mo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Ahem... Brother Shi Tou, don't speak recklessly. My father is still at home."

Upon hearing this, Shi Tou froze for a moment, then immediately waved his hands and smiled sheepishly:

"Young Master, don't take it seriously. I was just joking, purely joking!"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly changed the subject, and said seriously:

"However, Young Master, although this level of defensive skill is hard, the consumption of spiritual power is also huge."

Shi Tou pointed at that giant wall and advised earnestly:

"When facing ordinary attacks, actually using the basic 【Earth Shield Technique】 is completely sufficient. Why use an ox-cleaver to kill a chicken? Don't you agree?"

"Makes sense, Brother Shi Tou is right. Next time I'll pay attention and definitely use it sparingly."

Lin Mo nodded.

Although this skill didn't consume his spiritual power, after all, he wasn't the one who cast it.

Seeing Lin Mo so obedient to advice, Shi Tou also nodded in gratification.

Just then.

Buzz—

Ye Hongyu's pants pocket vibrated. She took out her phone, glanced at it, and immediately furrowed her brows.

"What's wrong, Captain Ye?"

Ah Hu keenly sensed the captain's change in mood and put away the foolish smile on his face.

Shi Tou also crowded over, his expression tense.

Ye Hongyu stared at the screen and said in a deep voice:

"Just received news. A large number of wild monsters are gathering toward 'Sunset Canyon'. That is... a sign of the Monster Tide."

"What? Monster Tide?!"
