Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five explosions erupted nearly simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monsters never even screamed—they were blown apart, skin and flesh charred black, bodies flung in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect! Young Master Zhao, your five-fold explosion is pure mastery!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His teammates immediately fawned, “No wonder you’re Young Master Zhao—you’ve mastered splitting five fireballs so soon after your career change. This DPS is terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu panted heavily, pulling a blue mana potion from his waist and downing it in one gulp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with S-rank affinity, repeatedly using such an advanced skill drained immense mental and magical energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he loved this feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat slid down his cheeks, mana surging through his body—proof he was growing stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A reconnaissance officer hurried over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Zhao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu wiped sweat from his brow and asked casually, “How’s Lin Mo doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep down, he still couldn’t bring himself to believe Lin Mo had truly given up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he’d been the constant benchmark since childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Lin Mo had awakened a blank talent, he couldn’t possibly not understand that “level alone without combat skill is useless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officer’s expression twisted with unease; after a pause, he reported honestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… Report, Young Master Zhao. Master Lin is lying in bed, apparently watching a movie, with a maid feeding him fruit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t see anything beyond that—a wall of earth suddenly appeared and blocked the view. All I can see now is weak monsters being thrown into the wall one after another…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A wall of earth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably Stone’s doing—this security setup was absurdly excessive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air froze for several seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Zhao Yu let out a scoff and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Worthless. Completely worthless.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yu slammed his staff hard onto the ground and said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I used to actually see him as my rival… even trained obsessively to surpass him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I realize, treating someone like him as an opponent is an insult to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhao Yu turned away from that side entirely, his battle fervor burning even brighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Too slow!

Are you mocking me?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>East of Sunset Canyon, the Lin family camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three towering, thick earthen walls stood like a fortress, enclosing Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the fortress, Lin Mo lay on his side, holding a chilled glass of watermelon juice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, a maid held a tablet playing a comedy film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gulps—gulps—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sipped the juice, utterly relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of the five-meter-high earthen walls, Ye Hongyu stood rigidly alert, scanning the surroundings from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, monsters are coming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had she spoken than a crippled 【Steppe Demon Wolf】 was hurled over the wall by Ah Hu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fireball shot out and instantly obliterated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Fireball” protested: I said ten! Why send them one at a time? What’s the point?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sighed helplessly and called up to the wall: “Ye Jie, toss in more at once—ten or fifteen at a time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu paused, startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never seen Lin Mo’s “Multiple Exploding Fireballs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even last night, due to sparse monster distribution, they’d only sent one or two at a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Young Master’s micro-management was flawless, such volume risked total chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. Just throw them,” Lin Mo waved dismissively. “I’ll take responsibility if anything goes wrong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Hongyu said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worst case, she could eliminate ten or fifteen low-level monsters in an instant—she had that ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu shouted to those beyond the wall:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifteen at once—throw them all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, over a dozen soldiers hesitated a moment, then unleashed their strength together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifteen half-dead monsters of various types flew over the towering earthen wall and crashed onto the open ground to the right of the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing atop the wall, Ye Hongyu’s hand gripped her blade, muscles taut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Young Master couldn’t handle it, she’d descend instantly to clear the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fiery orange fireball shot out—and the moment it left his hand, it quivered violently, splitting instantly in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One… five… ten… fifteen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of small fireballs locked onto each monster still in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Multiple… Exploding Fireballs?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From her position atop the wall, Ye Hongyu’s view was the most stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She watched those fifteen fireballs move like autonomous guided missiles, weaving and darting through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu stared, dumbfounded, as the entire group of monsters was wiped out in one precise strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d mastered Multiple Exploding Fireballs—and split fifteen at once?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what she knew, Zhao Yu of the Zhao family could barely manage four or five at most—and even that was legendary across Jianghai City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder he’s my Young Master…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu murmured, “This calmness… this talent… Zhao Yu’s so-called S-rank doesn’t even deserve to polish his shoes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lowered her gaze, peering through the lingering smoke, down at Lin Mo below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the glow of the flames, Lin Mo still lay in his relaxed, carefree side-lying pose, watching the tablet in the maid’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if the “fifteen-kill” had barely registered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was true strength—the kind who remains unmoved even as mountains collapse before him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Fireball” roared triumphantly: YES!!! SO GOOD!!!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Fireball” yearned for more: This is the grandeur I deserve! That explosion was perfection! Again!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Earth Shield” whimpered: No… please no… so many at once—what if one slips through? Master, this is too dangerous!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Fireball” erupted in rage: Dangerous? Slip through? Are you questioning my power?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Earth Shield” curled into a ball: I’m not talking to you—I’m talking to Master!
