Chapter 237: This Seat Must Take the Wheel!

The left-side passage of Team Fuben, at the end of 【Path of Destruction】.

This place had originally been a grand underground palace.

But at this moment, it had thoroughly transformed into a purgatory.

Looking around, everywhere was charred corpses, monster bodies pierced through by rock spikes…

At the center of this purgatory.

Lin Mo stood where he was.

The hem of his clothes was slightly soiled.

On the panel.

【Current Clear Time: 44 seconds…】

【Current Clear Time: 45 seconds…】

【Current Clear Time: 46 seconds…】

Watching the time ticking up nonstop, Lin Mo let out a helpless sigh.

"Not done yet?"

"Looks like that path on the right really is dragging the pace a bit."

On his own path, he had flown and bombed his way through the whole way.

In barely a dozen seconds, he had already broken through.

However,

He could still only wait around doing nothing.

In the skill bar.

【【Fireball】 gave a cold snort.】

【"Hmph! Fourth Bro still can't cut it!"】

【"So much time has passed, and she still hasn't flattened the right side!"】

【"If it were this seat's turn to take the wheel, this seat could kill them all within ten seconds!"】

Hearing Big Bro speak up.

【【Earth Shield】 nodded frantically in agreement.】

【"Exactly, exactly! Fourth Bro may look pretty wild usually, but when it really comes to the critical moment, her efficiency is still way too low!"】

【"If Big Bro took the wheel, the master wouldn't have to sit here waiting at all!"】

With 【Earth Shield】's flattery.

【Fireball】 immediately grew even more smug.

【Fireball】 put on the air of a big shot commanding the rivers and mountains.

【"That's exactly what I'm saying!"】

【"Fourth Bro is just relying on her good luck, having comprehended one more high-tier skill than this seat, that's all!"】

【"Relying on having more high-tier summons, being able to call out a whole pile of underlings, stretching out the time, that's what makes her monster-clearing efficiency look like it has the advantage."】

【"If we're really talking about solid, head-on combat, what does she have to compete with this seat? She can't even beat Third Bro!"】

【【Earth Shield】 once more offered up flattery: "Big Bro is mighty! Big Bro's firepower is number one under heaven!"】

"…"

Lin Mo was a bit speechless.

"Xiao Huo."

"Stop saying those sour words behind her back."

"If you really think Fourth Bro can't cut it, think she's just relying on having more high-tier skills…"

"Then why don't you find a way to comprehend another high-tier skill yourself? Otherwise, how are you going to compete with her for the wheel?"

"If you want to be the boss, then show some of the boss's substance, and come up with a high-tier skill for me!"

Provoked by Lin Mo like this.

【【Fireball】 still stubbornly held onto face.】

【"Master, the way you put it…"】

【"How could comprehending a high-tier skill be that simple?"】

【"It requires deconstructing elements and doing permutations and combinations… in short, it's not that simple!"】

【"Fourth Bro was purely lucky! A blind cat bumping into a dead mouse, that's all!"】

"Making excuses?"

Lin Mo mercilessly saw through it.

"Luck is also part of strength."

"If you really have that ability, then forget about luck or no luck, hurry up and come up with another high-tier killing move for me."

"Otherwise, tomorrow's wheel is probably still going to be Fourth Bro's."

【【Fireball】 got anxious: "Who's making excuses! No way, tomorrow's wheel is definitely this seat's!"】

【Fireball】 put both hands behind its back.

【"Actually, this seat already has some ideas. Tonight, this seat will take back the throne of number one on the monster-clearing rankings!"】

"Not bad, not bad."

Lin Mo nodded.

"Now that's the spirit of our family's boss. I'll be waiting for your new skill."

Slap first, then offer a sweet date.

This is the boss's artistry.

Just at that moment.

Prompt after prompt surfaced on the panel.

【Detected that the 'Path of Ruin' and the 'Path of Depravity' have been fully cleared!】

【The final area of the Twilight Throne has been unsealed!】

【Teleportation for all surviving members will begin shortly…】

"Finally cleared it."

Lin Mo gathered his thoughts, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

Hum——!!!

Beneath his feet, a teleportation formation lit up on the blue stone tiles.

A fierce pillar of light surged skyward, completely swallowing Lin Mo's body.

……

After a wave of weightlessness.

Lin Mo's vision cleared once more.

He surveyed his surroundings.

It was a colossal floating platform suspended in an endless void.

The sky overhead.

Was a dusk glow thick as fresh blood.

And at the very center of the platform stood a massive, broken throne.

The throne was currently empty.

【Prompt: All members have arrived at the final area of the Twilight Throne!】

【Once everyone is ready, the final BOSS will be officially awakened, beginning the final assault!】

Lin Mo turned his head, looking toward the right.

A dozen or so meters away.

Streaks of white light flickered.

The nineteen classmates of Long Xu Ban, along with the figure of Da Bai, appeared one after another within the light.

The instant they landed.

Lin Mo clearly saw the state of the crowd.

A numb expression hung on every one of their faces.

Lin Mo was long accustomed to that look.

"Looks like these guys got scared silly by Da Bai."

"Class president, big shot!!!"

Just at that moment.

Han Mengqing was the first to come back to her senses.

She waved her small hand.

Seeing this, the rest of Long Xu Ban quickly gathered toward Lin Mo as well.

And that enormous white fox.

Walked with elegant steps, its entire body radiating a proud, extreme cold, unhurriedly trailing behind the group.

"Class president…"

Ye Kong walked up to Lin Mo, forcing a bitter smile.

"This contracted beast of yours…"

"What kind of monster is it, exactly?"

"How does it even know your skills? We didn't even get a chance to make a move…"

"Right, right!"

Wang Dawei nodded frantically.

"Holy smokes, it just bulldozed through the whole way!"

Listening to everyone's frantic complaints and shock.

Lin Mo hadn't spoken yet.

Da Bai had already walked to Lin Mo's side.

Those ice-blue eyes swept a contemptuous glance over the crowd.

【'Ice Cone Art' let out an arrogant snort: "Hmph, country bumpkins, already this scared? This Young Lady isn't even at full power yet."】

Lin Mo smiled at the crowd.

"Don't feel too defeated — after all, it is my contracted beast."

Hearing that matter-of-fact remark.

The group exchanged glances, and could only sigh helplessly in the end.

Right.

Could the Great Demon King's pet possibly be a normal pet?

An eccentric owner raising an eccentric pet — that's only natural.

In the skill bar.

'Fireball Art' stared at Old Four's smug face and couldn't take it anymore.

"Heh, making Master wait this long, and you call that strong? Don't make your Grandpa Fire laugh."

In response to Fireball Art's words.

Ice Spike Art let out a snide laugh.

"Oh oh oh, whose dog is barking?"

"Can't get the top-rank slot, so all you can do is rage impotently at home?"

"Got the nerve to log in? Oh right, you can't, because you lost to this Young Lady last night, hahahaha!"

"You're asking for death!!!"

Fireball Art was furious.

"Don't get cocky too soon!"

"If this Seat doesn't take first place tonight, I'll write my name backwards!"

Watching the two great arts in the skill bar start squaring off again.

Lin Mo shook his head helplessly.

He wiped the smile from his face and waved his hand.

"Enough."

"Cut the chatter, get yourselves in proper condition."

"We're going to fight the final BOSS."

At these words.

Whether the squabbling in the skill bar or the gasps of the onlookers outside, everything instantly fell silent.

Ye Kong, Han Mengyao, and the others immediately gathered their focus.

Weapons drawn, staves gripped tight.

The eyes of everyone once again grew sharp.

"Ready."
