You woke me up!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the interface, the Fireball Spell icon trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 furious, scanning around: Who’s causing trouble? Come out, you coward!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Mo could calm them down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』 terrified: Master, be careful! There’s a strange sound—and enemies!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sighed helplessly, “Little Earth, that’s your big brother, Fireball Spell. He’s on our side. Nothing to worry about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, 【Earth Shield Spell】 finally relaxed its tense nerves slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』 let out a long breath: Scared me to death... so it’s just big brother.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 now realized, eyeing the newcomer suspiciously: Huh? I have a little brother? When did this happen?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before it could make sense of the situation, as an entity exquisitely sensitive to fire, the tiny fireball suddenly twitched its nonexistent nose twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 frowned: Wait—there’s a faint trace of fire element in the air?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 stared at the wall in front of it, stunned: What the hell is this? Why is there a mountain here?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo explained patiently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now someone tested with a small fireball. This wall was created by your new little brother to block attacks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, 【Fireball Spell】 fell silent for three seconds, then sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 scoffed: That little bit of fire element, and you built this huge wall to block it?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 full of disdain: Getting scared by trash like this? Don’t even say you’re my little brother—I’d be ashamed. True Qiangzhe  don’t need turtle shells.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』 weakly retorted: But... safety first, right? What if Master gets even one hair hurt? I don’t think I did anything wrong.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 rolled its eyes: Spare me. Coward is coward—don’t make excuses. This level of attack? I wouldn’t even bother looking. Only a worthless thing like you would panic like this.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』 muttered under his breath: I never even admitted you’re my big brother... I only have one elder brother—and that’s Master. Just a brute...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 eyes turned cold: What did you say? Dare to repeat that?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』 stuck out his neck: I said Master is the most handsome!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Shut up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo listened to the two skills bickering and felt a headache coming on. \"Little Fire, if you keep quarreling, tonight's dragon meat is canceled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the Fireball Spell icon flickered several times and fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again this trick. So annoying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 felt humiliated: I’m destined to become a forbidden spell, a noble being—and now I’m held hostage by a piece of meat? This is an insult!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 seethed with resentment: If only I had a mouth, I wouldn’t be at the mercy of others! How long must I endure this life of dependence?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 status updated: Muted】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the suddenly quiet big brother, 【Earth Shield Spell】 felt certain he’d chosen the right master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』 full of admiration: Of course Master is powerful! One sentence and that brute is completely under control.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the now-silent Fireball Spell, Lin Mo finally exhaled in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world was finally quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master? Young Master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Stone’s voice came from behind the wall: “Are you... alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo brushed the dust off his body and stepped out from behind the earth wall, calm as ever:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m fine. Brother Stone, your Fireball Spell is well-controlled—not a single scratch on me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the earth wall, silence reigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Hu, Stone, and Ye Hongyu were staring at the earthen wall before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good heavens...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Hu reached out and touched the rough, thick earth wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold to the touch, unnaturally hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stone, tell me the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Hu turned to Stone beside him: “How long did it take you to learn this skill?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Stone gave a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before today, he would have proudly claimed he mastered it in just five days after his class change, after consuming a skill book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone felt embarrassed, his voice barely a whisper: “Five... five days, plus I used a 【Earth Flow Wall】 skill book to help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this answer, Ah Hu and Ye Hongyu showed no trace of mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They both knew well: mastering a beginner skill in five days was already extremely fast for an S-rank elemental affinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An S-rank genius took five days—and still needed a skill book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about Lin Mo, this “blank slate” Young Master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From picking up the most basic 【Earth Shield Spell】 skill book to releasing this wall of sighs... it had taken barely five minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had used a basic skill book to awaken an advanced skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t a gap in talent—it was a gap in species!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone took a deep breath, walked up to the earthen wall, and tapped it a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the beginner earth skill 【Earth Flow Wall】. Judging by its structure, it was released perfectly—it can block attacks from opponents ten levels higher than you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone stared at this near-perfect 【Earth Flow Wall】 and murmured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, if you told me you were the illegitimate son of the Earth God, I’d believe you...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ah Hu and Ye Hongyu didn’t contradict—instead, they nodded in strong agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night it was the Fire God reincarnated; today it’s the Earth God’s child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Case solved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Young Master is almost certainly their illegitimate son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing their gazes, Lin Mo scratched his head, slightly embarrassed: “Uh... Brother Stone, don’t say things like that. My dad’s still at home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone froze, then quickly waved his hands with a nervous laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, don’t take it seriously—I was just joking! Pure joke!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wiped sweat from his forehead and quickly changed the subject, serious now:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Young Master, this level of defensive skill, though solid, drains enormous mental energy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone pointed at the massive wall and advised earnestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For ordinary attacks, the basic 【Earth Shield Spell】 is more than enough. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Don’t you agree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Makes sense. Brother Stone is right. Next time I’ll be more careful—use it sparingly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though in truth, the skill hadn’t drained his mental energy at all—it wasn’t even cast by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Mo so receptive, Stone nodded in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu’s pocket vibrated. She pulled out her phone, glanced at the screen, and immediately frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s wrong, Ye Team Leader?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Hu sensed the shift in the team leader’s mood and dropped his goofy grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone leaned in, tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu stared at the screen and spoke grimly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just received word: massive monsters are converging on Sunset Canyon. That’s... the sign of a monster tide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Monster tide?!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1124,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","2bb88b6281cc6594f8eb39a129f15ab5de587a6c57a8921ee7dac8d5fef6fbaa","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-24","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-22",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
