lowered his head, examining the piece of wind element fragment glowing with a faint blue light in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thin strands of wind spiraled visibly around the fragment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The council chamber’s door was flung open from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by the sound of the door opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A boisterous laugh echoed in from beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I thought I arrived just in time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t

spirit vibrant, was walking toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie immediately stood and stepped forward to greet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Old Man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie bowed slightly in respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo also closed his hand around the wind element fragment, rose, and walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Old Man.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo greeted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong halted, his gaze sweeping over the massive crater in the center of the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his eyes settled on Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good lad, did you really break the pride of those arrogant guys from the Wind Association?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong asked with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Mo could answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie let out a wry chuckle and replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Old Man, don’t tease us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With Lin Mo’s strength, beating them into submission is only natural.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once he activates his Four-Element Body and unleashes those high-tier skills

deepened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“True enough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong looked at Lin Mo, growing more and more satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze dropped to the object in Lin Mo’s hand, glowing with a soft blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong blinked in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind element fragment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong raised an eyebrow, clearly taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is a rare item—where did you get it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie smiled and volunteered an explanation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Old Man, I gave it to Lin Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone sent me this exact fragment yesterday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I figured Lin Mo’s already level 40—he’d likely be learning wind skills soon, and this was the perfect time to pass it on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Yan Lie’s explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at Yan Lie, a flicker of approval in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You kid, you know how to handle people well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong nodded in agreement:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This wind element fragment, if kept by you, would most likely never be fully absorbed in one go—wasting it would be a shame.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Giving it to this lad is truly the best choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong made no effort to hide his favoritism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve made a very worthwhile gift.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yan Lie said seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Old Man is right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo is now a treasure of Dragon Nation—good things must be used where they matter most.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every bit stronger Lin Mo becomes, the more confidence Dragon Nation gains.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Yan Lie, have that much awareness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled helplessly beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You two big shots, praising me so openly to my face—is that really wise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m so embarrassed I want to dig a hole and bury my toes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Cangqiong turned his head toward Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes sparkled with intense curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard from Old Nie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Every time you absorb an element fragment, you trigger celestial phenomena and absorb every last bit of energy perfectly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my decades of life, I’ve never seen anyone absorb an element fragment so cleanly on their first try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let this old man witness it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lie, after hearing this, also lit up with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Lin Mo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to see too!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve never even seen a perfect absorption before… let alone one on the first try.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their expressions—like wide-eyed children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since you both want to see, I’ll use it right here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo had no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better to use it sooner than later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had long looked forward to the
