Chapter 308: If Little Feng Runs Fast Enough, the Enemy Can't Catch the Master!

The next day.

Morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, spilling onto Lin Mo's face.

Lin Mo opened his eyes groggily.

"Hiss..."

The moment he woke, Lin Mo couldn't help but shiver.

So cold.

Lin Mo turned his head to look.

He saw Dabai lying by the bedside.

At this moment, Dabai.

His entire body had turned an icy blue.

Wisps of visible, faint cold air were constantly radiating from his body.

Without a doubt.

Ice Fox form.

【"Master, you're awake!"】

The Ice Spike Art's sweet, cloying voice rang out.

【"Good morning, Master~"】

Lin Mo sat up, raising an eyebrow as he looked at Dabai.

Hmm?

It seems last night, Little Bing took first place.

Not bad, not bad.

This is the situation I hope for most.

The first-place spot changing every day; the more intense the competition, the better.

Seeing Lin Mo sit up.

Dabai also poked his fluffy head over to Lin Mo's hand, deliberately rubbing against it.

【"Hehe, this Young Lady worked very hard!"】

【"Master, I got first place; shouldn't you reward me? Hurry, pet me~"】

Lin Mo smiled and shook his head.

This little reward that must be given still needs to be given.

"Alright, great job."

As Lin Mo spoke, he reached out and vigorously rubbed him twice.

The Ice Spike Art let out a pleased, cooing hum of comfort.

【"Master, I killed monsters all night last night; I'm so tired~"】

【"Will you pet my back again? And my tail~"】

【"Or maybe ride me~"】

"..."

Lin Mo's mouth twitched.

He turned his hand and lightly slapped Dabai on the forehead.

"Get lost."

"Don't push your luck."

Although the tone was somewhat stern.

Lin Mo's eyes were full of amusement.

【"Waa..."】

Little Bing lowered his head, looking aggrieved.

Lin Mo casually stroked his large head, pondering.

Little Bing managed to surpass Hearing Xiao Huo and Xiao Lei to take first place.

He probably had another sudden realization of a powerful new skill last night?

With a hint of anticipation.

Lin Mo opened the panel.

First, he checked the level.

【Current Level: Lv. 46 (66%)】

"Not bad."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Another stable level up.

Afterwards.

He directed his gaze toward Little Bing's skill book.

Sure enough.

A new ice-type skill had appeared.

Lin Mo immediately checked the specific description of the new skill.

【Extreme Cold Sword Prison (High-Grade)】

【Instant upon casting, forcibly strips away all heat within a one-kilometer radius, causing the temperature to plummet rapidly, then condenses ten thousand 'Polar Ice Swords' to indiscriminately slaughter all targets within the domain. Each ice sword hitting a target applies one stack of 'Slowness'. When 'Slowness' stacks to three layers, it ignores resistance and directly triggers the 'Absolute Freeze' state, freezing the target. Cooldown: 5 minutes.】

After reading through this skill description.

Lin Mo rubbed his chin as well.

This skill... why does it look a little familiar?

Could it be inspired by Little Lei's move, 'Lei Guang Sword Rain'?

But judging by the skill description, it really is quite strong.

It combines control and area-of-effect damage in one.

And the visual effects when casting it should look pretty cool too.

Not bad, not bad.

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Then.

He suddenly remembered.

"What about Little Feng!"

"Wonder what this little guy has comprehended."

Thinking of this.

Lin Mo immediately turned his gaze to the other side.

He saw that the Wind Blade skill tree had gained four new skills!

"Holy—!"

"Not bad, Little Feng!"

"This talent is no worse than your big bro, third bro, or fourth sis!"

Excitement appeared on Lin Mo's face.

With an excited heart.

He couldn't wait to start checking the skills' effects.

【Wind Travel Art (Beginner)】

【Mobilize wind element to gather in both legs, instantly increasing movement speed by 300%, lasting 30 seconds, cooldown 45 seconds.】

Lin Mo blinked.

"An escape skill?"

"That's fine too, it's a beginner skill, adding some speed is understandable."

"Mages fear melee the most, running faster isn't a bad thing."

Next.

He looked at the second skill.

【Wind Wall (Intermediate)】

【Raise a massive wind wall compressed from gale-force winds before the body, blocking ranged ballistic attacks, cooldown: 2 minutes.】

Lin Mo rubbed his chin.

"Wind Wall?"

"A defensive skill, huh..."

"This one's also okay, defending against ranged classes and such, pretty practical."

Although he vaguely felt something was off.

Lin Mo still continued looking down.

【Riding the Wind, Treading Clouds (Intermediate)】

【Form an absolute zero-resistance wind field around the body, increasing movement speed by 500%, and enabling 'sustained flight', lasting 10 minutes, cooldown 10 minutes.】

Seeing this.

The corners of Lin Mo's eyes had already begun to twitch.

"Another damn escape skill?!"

"What's with this whole cowardly vibe?"

"But this move's also not bad, it's basically an advanced version of Wind Travel Art, and there's no downtime."

"With this move, I can take off and fly whenever I want."

Lin Mo took a deep breath and looked at the last skill.

【Extreme Blade Wind Armor (Advanced)】

【Condense a layer of transparent 'Wind Armor' on the body's surface, shredding any object or attack that approaches, lasting 5 minutes, cooldown 10 minutes.】

"..."

Lin Mo was stunned.

What the hell?

If he remembered correctly.

The wind element was hailed as an offensive element capable of slicing through all things, right?

How come out of the four skills Little Feng comprehended, some are a defensive Wind Wall, and the rest are escape skills?

Only this last advanced skill looks like it has a shred of offensive capability.

But the problem is, a mage should be standing in the back spamming skills like crazy!

Who runs up to play melee mage!

Just then.

The voice of 'Earth Shield Art' rang out.

【Earth Shield Art】 wore a face full of pride and a look begging for praise.

【"Master! Master!"】

【"Did you see that?"】

【"Let me tell you, Old Five's talent is just too strong! Second Brother only gave it a little inspiration last night, and it had an epiphany all on its own!"】

Immediately after.

【Wind Blade Art】's crisp, soft, sweet voice rang out as well.

Monkey see, monkey do — wearing the exact same expression of pride and begging for praise.

【"Hehe…"】

【"Master! Isn't Little Wind amazing?"】

Lin Mo's mouth twitched.

"Little Tu."

"Come on, you tell me."

"How exactly did you inspire it last night?"

Hearing its master's inquiry.

【Earth Shield Art】 straightened its back, righteous and indignant:

【"Last night, Second Brother told Old Five!"】

【"In our household, the most core, most supreme mission is to protect Master!"】

【"Master is delicate and frail!"】

【"So, when danger comes, we need to block all harm for Master!"】

【"If we can't block it, we need to speed up our escape! As long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood!"】

No sooner had Little Tu finished speaking.

【Wind Blade Art】 immediately nodded obediently and frantically, equally loud and clear:

【"Right!"】

【"Protect Master!"】

【"Block harm! Run!"】

【"As long as Little Wind runs fast enough, the enemy won't catch up to Master!"】
