Chapter 336: Does Lin Mo Train? No, He

“Alright, alright.”

Lin Mo couldn’t stand the ancestors’ bickering and scolded them.

“All of you, shut up!”

The master’s authority surged forth.

The skill bar instantly fell silent.

Lin Mo scolded with a grumble:

“What’s all this yelling for?”

“What’s there to argue about?”

Lin Mo rolled his eyes inwardly.

“When it’s time to be violent, let loose and blow everything apart!”

“When it’s time to be elegant, strike clean and sharp!”

“Children make choices!”

“I, as an adult, want it all!”

Hearing the master’s declaration,

Little Fire and Little Ice exchanged a glance.

Then,

【“Hmph!”】

Little Fire and Little Ice turned their heads away from each other simultaneously.

Lin Mo sighed helplessly.

What a bunch of ancestors.

……

Outside.

On the trial ground.

Feng Cangqiong turned his head, his gaze landing on Yan Lie, drenched in sweat.

“Yan Lie.”

“Did you see that clearly?!”

Yan Lie shuddered and snapped to attention.

“I… I saw it clearly, Master Feng!”

Feng Cangqiong pointed to the row of giant wooden stakes, cleanly severed.

“That, is called Sky-Splitting Wind Blade!”

Feng Cangqiong scolded without mercy:

“Look at what you just released—what even is that?”

“Weak and limp, couldn’t even cut through a single stake!”

“That’s not Sky-Splitting Wind Blade!”

“That’s a gentle breeze brushing willow branches!”

“You’ve shamed every wind mage among us!”

Being scolded like this,

Yan Lie looked like a schoolboy who’d messed up, head bowed.

He felt wronged, but dared not retort.

“Yes, yes, yes…”

“Master Feng is right…”

Yan Lie nodded frantically.

Feng Cangqiong glanced at his pitiful demeanor, snorted coldly, and ignored him.

Then,

He dropped his stern expression and replaced it with a gentle smile, turning to Lin Mo.

His gaze was full of warmth.

“Lin Mo.”

Feng Cangqiong asked with a smile:

“How was it?”

“Did you gain any insight from my strike?”

Hearing Feng Cangqiong’s question,

Lin Mo silently asked Little Wind.

“Little Wind, how do you feel?”

“Did you pick up anything?”

In the skill bar,

Little Wind seemed to be thinking hard.

After a few seconds,

Little Wind’s soft voice timidly sounded out.

【“Hmm…”】

【“Master, Little Wind… Little Wind might have a little idea.”】

Hearing this,

Lin Mo relaxed.

Having an idea was good.

Having an idea meant there was still hope.

With renewed confidence,

Lin Mo lifted his head and smiled in reply:

“Master Wind.”

“I’ve got a bit of insight.”

“Oh?”

Feng Cangqiong’s eyes lit up, then burst into loud laughter.

“Hahahaha!”

“Good! Having insight is enough!”

Feng Cangqiong was clearly delighted.

He patted Lin Mo’s shoulder and explained earnestly:

“Lin Mo, remember this.”

“This Sky-Splitting Wind Blade is no easy technique.”

Feng Cangqiong paused, then spoke gravely:

“Wind is formless, free, and unruly by nature.”

“It exists in every corner of heaven and earth.”

“To cast a wide-area wind spell is easy—just follow its flow.”

Feng Cangqiong extended his hand, making a virtual clenching motion.

“But.”

“To forcibly restrain free wind, compress it into an ultra-sharp blade…”

“Requires terrifying mental strength!”

“And absolute mastery over wind elements!”

Feng Cangqiong’s tone grew grave.

“Even the slightest instability in control could cause the compressed wind to go wild—and possibly injure you.”

Listening to Feng Cangqiong’s explanation,

Lin Mo nodded seriously.

No wonder Yan Lie preferred to focus on fire, a talent he had, rather than develop wind further.

He was afraid of wind elements spiraling out of control.

But Lin Mo had no such worry.

After all, it was wind itself that controlled the wind elements.

How simple could it be?

Feng Cangqiong watched Lin Mo’s serious expression and smiled approvingly.

“So, don’t rush.”

“Think it over carefully.”

“Incorporate the feeling you just witnessed into your own understanding.”

Feng Cangqiong waved his hand.

“Tomorrow.”

I need to check your homework.

Lin Mo smiled and readily agreed:

“Alright, Uncle Feng, rest assured.”

“I won’t let you down.”

“Hahaha!”

Feng Cangqiong laughed heartily:

“Then I’ll be waiting for your good news!”

Seeing that Feng Cangqiong’s guidance session had temporarily ended,

Lin Mo turned to look at Jiang Yunshang, who stood nearby.

He pondered how to address her.

Calling her by her name would be impolite.

Calling her Sister Yunshang would seem too familiar.

“Um… Sister.”

Lin Mo spoke.

Hearing this address, Jiang Yunshang paused slightly, then smiled faintly.

“Younger Brother Lin Mo, what is it?”

Lin Mo asked:

“Are there any suitable leveling zones near Casting Star Town?”

Hearing Lin Mo ask about leveling zones,

Jiang Yunshang quickly replied:

“Yes.”

“Right outside the town, monsters are mostly level 50 to 60.”

“Mostly rock giants and enraged fire lizards.”

“It should be enough for your leveling.”

Hearing this,

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up.

This level range was indeed ideal.

At that moment,

Feng Cangqiong interjected:

“Enough.”

“If there are no other questions, let’s head back.”

Feng Cangqiong glanced at Jiang Yunshang.

“Don’t disturb Yunshang any longer—there’s plenty to do in the first phase of the furnace ignition.”

Jiang Yunshang nodded slightly.

“Uncle Feng, you flatter me—it’s my honor to host you.”

Feng Cangqiong smiled, then turned to Lin Mo.

He gave him a solemn warning:

“Lin Mo.”

“Leveling is important, and it’s good for young people to have drive.”

“But you must balance effort and rest.”

Feng Cangqiong advised like an elder.

“Don’t train too late.”

“Skill comprehension doesn’t happen overnight—rushing leads to failure, do you understand?”

“Pushing yourself too hard only makes you dig yourself into a corner.”

Hearing this,

Yan Lie couldn’t help but step forward.

“Uncle Feng, you’re worrying over nothing.”

“Don’t forget, Lin Mo has a contract beast.”

“Is what he’s doing even leveling?”

“It’s a vacation!”

Hearing Yan Lie’s words,

Feng Cangqiong’s face darkened and he glared at him.

“Shut up!”

“I’m talking about skill comprehension!”

“Leveling can be outsourced.”

“Can your contract beast comprehend skills for him?!”

Feng Cangqiong looked at Yan Lie with exasperation.

“Do you think everyone is like you?”

“Relying on your meager fire-elemental legacy?”

“Pathetic!”

After being scolded by Feng Cangqiong,

Yan Lie flinched, pulled his neck in, and fell silent.

Lin Mo smiled and looked at Feng Cangqiong seriously:

“Uncle Feng, rest assured.”

“I know my limits.”

With Lin Mo’s assurance, Feng Cangqiong nodded in satisfaction.

“Good. Knowing your limits is enough.”

At this moment,

Jiang Yunshang also politely took her leave.

“Uncle Feng, Younger Brother Lin Mo, Chairman Yan.”

“I’ll return now—Master needs me to assist with the Starfire Furnace’s array.”

Feng Cangqiong waved his hand.

“Go, go. You’ve worked hard.”

Jiang Yunshang smiled faintly and turned to leave the training ground.

Looking at the night sky,

Feng Cangqiong drew in a cool breath.

“Let’s go.”

“We’re heading back too.”
