A combined technique is the fusion of two different elemental powers, giving birth to a transcendent skill that embodies the traits of both.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone stared at the trophy in Lin Mo’s hand and said, \"Such a technique is typically only attainable by top-tier combatants.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu also nodded to add:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To master a combined technique, you must possess dual-element S-rank elemental affinity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The vast majority of magic users have single-element affinity—for example, Stone has S-rank Earth affinity, but his Fire affinity is limited to just casting Fireball.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone chuckled helplessly and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly. Only legendary hidden classes, like the [Thunderflame Mage] with S-rank Thunder and Fire affinity, have the innate conditions to even attempt it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But to master a combined technique, this kind of material is essential—it serves as a medium to harmonize different elements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without this, it’s impossible to successfully master a combined technique.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Lin Mo finally understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, thinking deeply, \"So this thing is hard to buy, then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone let out a light laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing is priceless and unavailable on the market. For example, the [Chaos Lava Heart] in your hand—if I recall correctly—is the first one produced in Long Country this year!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Stone glanced at Ye Hongyu, as if seeking confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu nodded in agreement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s the first one in Long Country this year. Once this appears, every top-tier combatant in the nation will scramble to seize it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not just mages—even high-rank Magic Swordsmen, Elemental Archers, and other elemental classes all need this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone nodded in addition:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This material isn’t just rare for dual-element use—even single-element variants are scarce. For instance, in this major exam, Jianghai City planned to award the complete heart of a Lava Colossus to the city’s Top Graduate—it’s this kind of single-element material.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such single-element materials greatly increase the success rate of mastering mid- to high-rank elemental skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo listened, raising an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His luck really was insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He randomly fell underground, randomly killed a boss, and got the national first-release limited item?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, two skills began to erupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【'Fireball' sneered: 'Why should I, the Great One, team up with this coward to create some combined technique?

Master, I protest!'】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo ignored the two skills’ bickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he not use something this powerful?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, these were his own skills—they existed to serve him, his master. Who were they to pick and choose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Stone continued talking:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, even with this material, success isn’t guaranteed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Usually, you must wait until a high level, when you have profound insight and understanding of both elements—then your success rate improves somewhat…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp snapping sound interrupted Stone’s long-winded explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both: \"?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They froze, their gazes snapping to Lin Mo’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Red and yellow light streamed from between his fingers, instantly surging into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh… slipped my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo scratched his head, looking at them with innocent confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone’s mouth hung open, his heart twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was priceless and unavailable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first one in Long Country this year!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he just used it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What level are you even at, Young Master? Using it now? Success rate will be abysmal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at that moment, a stream of information appeared on Lin Mo’s class panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Successfully used 'Chaos Lava Heart'】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Your internal 'Fire Element' and 'Earth Element,' under the mediation of the 'Chaos Lava Heart,' were forced into an unfriendly meeting】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【'Fireball' roared: 'What the hell? You’re full of sand?!'】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【'Earth Shield' screamed: 'Hot! Hot! Hot!

I am noble flame! Why must I wear this ugly thing?'】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【'Fireball' fiercely resisted: 'Besides, I’m damage! Only cowards wear armor! I won’t wear it! Kill me first!'】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【'Earth Shield' whined pitifully: 'Master, this form is blazing hot—it’s too obvious, no safety at all… maybe we shouldn’t wear it…'】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo ignored their protests entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t care whether the skills wanted to or not—he was the master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying wave of heat exploded outward from Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone and Ye Hongyu instinctively stepped back several paces, staring at Lin Mo in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blocks of black obsidian rapidly clung to Lin Mo’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Molten lava flowed through the armor’s seams, warping the air with intense heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked like an ancient demon god emerging from a volcanic lava flow!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo looked down at his armor, clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cool!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely awesome!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now… was he really going to become a melee mage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever.

I’ll just treat this as a new defensive skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone and Ye Hongyu exchanged glances, both seeing unparalleled shock in each other’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this what a genius looks like…?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A divine skill, just click and receive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Ye Hongyu finally came to her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Lin Mo—now back to his lazy, slouching self, the armor gone—and smiled wryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the deep helplessness and resignation one feels facing a true prodigy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, it’s very late. We should head back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu glanced at the pitch-black sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With your current strength and this insane combined technique… tomorrow’s exam will let you dominate the field. Rest well tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded in full agreement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. Let’s go. I’m starving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【'Fireball' danced excitedly: 'Eat! Eat! I’m starving! I want dragon liver! Flame rhino meat!'】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【'Earth Shield' weakly added: 'Master, I’m hungry too… any aged earth vein magma core? I want to eat…'】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These two were clever enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing resistance was useless, they wisely dropped the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were so sensible, he wouldn’t be unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine.
