Chapter 250: How About You Fight My Pet Instead?

Listening to the skills' declarations.

A warm flow surged through Lin Mo's heart.

These guys…

Though daily they bickered, mocked each other, and fought nonstop.

But when an outsider provoked them,

They dropped all internal feuds and united as one, more cohesive than ever.

"Alright, alright."

Lin Mo murmured silently in his mind.

"Just some nobody. Why get so worked up?"

"I'm too tired to fight."

"You guys go next. Take turns. Line up properly. Don't push."

Upon receiving Lin Mo's affirmative reply,

The skill bar erupted in cheers.

【"Yay!!!"】

【【Fireball Spell】 laughed wildly: "Hahahaha! I'm going first! None of you dare cut in!"】

【【Ice Spike Spell】 was equally excited: "I'm going first! You all wait!"】

【【Lightning Strike Spell】 added calmly: "I'll go last. Handle the finale."】

【【Earth Shield Spell】 shouted awkwardly: "Then… then I'll cheer for my big brothers and sisters!"】

【【Fireball Spell】 glared at 【Ice Spike Spell】: "??? No way! I go first! You're second!"】

【【Ice Spike Spell】 frowned defiantly: "I go first. You wait your turn."】

Lin Mo ignored them.

His gaze settled on Yan Lie.

"You're Yan Lie, right?"

"I don't think attribute suppression is necessary."

Hearing this,

Yan Lie frowned.

"I'm over thirty levels higher than you. You say it's unnecessary? What do you mean?"

A nameless rage flared in him.

This current captain of Dragon Order Class was way too arrogant!

Yet,

Lin Mo tilted his head slightly.

Glanced at the blazing white dog beside him.

"It really isn't necessary. Besides, I'm tired. I didn't want to fight at all. But refusing you outright might upset you."

"How about this? You fight my pet first."

Lin Mo returned his gaze to Yan Lie, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

"…."

"…."

"…."

In that moment,

Everyone fell silent.

Even Guhe, Feng Cangqiong, and Nie Zhenguo—the three legendary masters who had weathered countless storms—

Were stunned.

What the hell?

You're thirty levels higher than him, and you're telling him to fight your pet?

Do you really look down on him that much?

"F***…"

Wang Dawei couldn't help blurting out a curse behind them.

"What kind of arrogant guy is Yan Lie? Compared to the class captain? The captain's got 'arrogant' carved right on his forehead!"

Ye Kong also felt his scalp prickle.

Arrogant!

Ridiculously arrogant!

…

Yan Lie stood frozen in place.

He even doubted if his ears were malfunctioning.

Fight me?

With a pet?

Several seconds passed.

Only then did Yan Lie's shock harden into utter fury.

Who was Yan Lie?

The battle fanatic who terrified every peer his age!

He had approached with respect, voluntarily offering attribute suppression, just to secure a fair, thrilling duel.

And yet…

The other side told him to fight a pet?

This was an insult!

A blatant, naked insult!

"Lin Mo!"

Yan Lie's face turned ashen.

"Are you mocking me?"

"Your familiar's strength may be impressive, but it's still inferior to your own."

"You refuse attribute suppression and now want your pet to fight me? What's your point? Aren't you just being ridiculously arrogant?"

"…."

Xu Wenchang's lips twitched slightly.

He glanced at Yan Lie, then at Lin Mo.

Only Lin Mo could make the arrogant Yan Lie say, "You're ridiculously arrogant."

Facing Yan Lie's rage,

Lin Mo remained expressionless.

"Senior, you're wrong to say that."

"Isn't your familiar part of my abilities? Choosing to fight you with just my familiar is my decision. What's it to you?"

"I'm just too lazy to fight."

"If you think it's beneath you to fight it, then fine. Let's all go home. Everyone to their own place. Much better."

"You—!!!"

Yan Lie trembled with rage.

He never imagined

The legendary demon king had such a brazen, shameless personality!

"No!"

Yan Lie gritted his teeth and stepped forward firmly.

"Today, you fight whether you want to or not!"

"Lin Mo, if you're a man, pick up your staff and duel me like a true mage!"

Watching this, Feng Cangqiong couldn't help smiling.

He'd figured it out.

This kid Lin Mo was just too lazy to bother.

His utterly unyielding attitude completely neutralized Yan Lie, the battle fanatic.

"Cough… cough…"

Guhe, sensing the tension escalating, stepped forward to mediate.

"Enough, enough. Both of you, calm down."

"Yan Lie, look at yourself. Are you really bullying a junior now?"

Then,

Guhe turned to Lin Mo, his tone softening.

"Lin Mo, though Yan Lie has a foul temper, his heart isn't bad—he's just overly obsessed with combat."

"How about you just spar with him? It'll help build your practical experience."

Hearing Guhe say this,

Lin Mo fell silent for two seconds.

He glanced at Guhe's aged face, tinged with hopeful anticipation.

He sighed inwardly.

The principal had always treated him well.

Now that the principal had spoken, he might as well grant this favor.

After all, once on the arena, all he had to do was stand there and watch, letting Da Bai fight for him—Yan Lie could hardly refuse to battle Da Bai.

He made up his mind.

Lin Mo lifted his head and looked at Yan Lie.

"Fine."

"Since the principal has spoken, I accept this challenge."

Upon hearing these words,

Yan Lie's face lit up with excitement.

"Good!"

"Splendid!"

He locked his gaze on Lin Mo, his eyes brimming with battle fervor.

"Lin Mo."

"I'll say it again."

"I'll suppress my attributes to match your level."

"Don't think I'm being overly generous, or that you're being humiliated."

Yan Lie's gaze sharpened, each word deliberate:

"A level suppression of over thirty levels is no joke."

"If I fought you at full power without suppression,"

"you wouldn't survive a single one of my attacks."

"I, Yan Lie, have no use for victories without merit!"

"I will win—fairly, squarely, and honestly!"

Listening to Yan Lie's bold words,

Lin Mo couldn't help yawning.

He waved his hand carelessly.

"Alright, alright."

"Do as you please."

"The scroll's in your hands—tear it or don't, suppress or don't."

"Just do what makes you happy."

Lin Mo was utterly dismissive.

"Hurry up. Let's get this over with—I need to go back to my dorm and catch some sleep."

"..."

Yan Lie's eyelid twitched violently.

Arrogant.

This kid was too arrogant!

Guhe stepped forward, interrupting them.

"Enough. Since you both agree, let this be a friendly match between the two former captains of the Dragon Sequence Class."

"Former Dragon Sequence Class captain Yan Lie is a rare dual-element Mage of Fire and Wind—wind fuels fire, fire rides the wind."

"And Lin Mo, needless to say, is a four-element Mage at eighteen."

"Two little monsters..."

"Head to the Advanced Arena—it's spacious enough for you both to unleash fully."

Lin Mo glanced at Da Bai beside him.

He thought inwardly:

"Let's go, Da Bai."

Da Bai's entire body erupted in blazing flames, his mouth curling into a grin.

In his skill bar, "Fireball" had been itching to strike.

【"Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!!!"】
