Chapter 34: Dragon Order Class

The Lin family dining room.

A long table was piled high with premium ingredients.

Lin Mo was buried in his meal.

【『Fireball Spell』, grease dripping from his mouth, ecstatic: Ohhh! This is the taste! Amazing, absolutely amazing!】

【『Earth Shield Spell』, face glowing with happiness: Delicious… so delicious… Is this the flavor of the earth?】

Su Wan watched her son devouring food like a whirlwind and said softly:

“Eat slowly, eat slowly, no one’s going to steal your food. Drink some soup first, don’t choke.”

“Mmm… Mom, it’s just too delicious.”

Lin Mo replied vaguely, yet his eating never slowed.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.

Lin Tianhao gazed tenderly at Lin Mo:

“Mo’er, you’re almost level 20.”

“You’re ready to learn new basic skills. Any ideas?”

Su Wan also put down her chopsticks, looking at her son with eager anticipation:

“That’s right, Mo’er. Whatever element you want to learn, Mom can get you the best basic skill book.”

Lin Mo swallowed the meat in his mouth and fell into thought.

If he was going to learn, he’d learn the strongest.

Having read so many novels in his past life, Lin Mo knew that at the very top of the magic class hierarchy stood two awe-inspiring elements—Light and Dark.

If he could master even one of them, it wouldn’t just be cool—it would be powerful.

If he could combine them like Fire and Earth… Zezeze , the image was too beautiful to bear.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo looked up and asked tentatively:

“Dad, Mom, since you both said so, could I learn… Light or Dark?”

At these words, Lin Tianhao and Su Wan exchanged a glance, their expressions troubled.

“What? Can’t get the skill books?”

Lin Mo was surprised.

Could the Lin family really not obtain basic skill books?

“It’s not that we can’t get them.”

Su Wan sighed lightly, her tone turning serious:

“Mo’er, you don’t understand.”

“Light and Dark, though called the strongest magic elements, demand talent so extreme it’s nearly impossible.”

“Their basic skill books are tightly controlled by the state and never enter the market.”

“But that’s not the main point. The real issue is… without the corresponding elemental affinity, forcibly learning these elements kills you.”

“Kills you?”

Lin Mo’s heart skipped a beat.

“Exactly.”

Lin Tianhao took over, nodding gravely:

“For ordinary elements, even without affinity, you might just fail to learn them—or their power weakens.”

“But Light and Dark are different.”

“Without ‘Holy Light Affinity,’ the moment Light enters your body, you’ll… explode instantly.”

“As for Dark… its corruption is extreme. Without the right affinity, your spirit collapses instantly, turning you into a mindless killing machine.”

Saying this, Lin Tianhao looked at Lin Mo with deep concern:

“Son, you have talent, but you lack the required affinity. We don’t want you risking your life on such odds, understand?”

Su Wan quickly added, her eyes filled with worry:

“Yes, Mo’er, you’re already outstanding.”

“You’ve mastered Fire and Earth beyond compare. With your talent, even mastering ordinary elements will make you a top-tier mage someday.”

“There’s no need to risk your life for one skill.”

Lin Tianhao paused, then added:

“If you’re truly obsessed with Light and Dark, there’s still a chance.”

“Wait until you’re higher level—above level 100.”

“At that point, your elemental capacity should theoretically resist Light and Dark’s intrusion, eliminating the life risk.”

“For now… listen to your father. It’s too early.”

After hearing this, Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

Holy hell.

Explode? Turn into a madman?

He wanted to grow strong, not turn cold.

Better forget it. Maybe later.

Thinking this, Lin Mo waved his hands hastily, looking relieved: “Alright, alright, stop. If it’s that dangerous, forget it.”

Seeing his son listen, Su Wan visibly relaxed.

She thought for a moment, “If Light and Dark are out, how about… Lightning?”

“Lightning?”

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Su Wan nodded. “Yes. Lightning is the rarest element after Light and Dark, with extreme burst damage and attack speed.”

“Lightning basic skill books are expensive on the market, but we’re the last family to lack money.”

“Mo’er, think about it?”

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up.

Lightning was perfect!

Who didn’t dream of controlling lightning?

At that moment,

『Fireball Spell』suddenly spoke up.

【『Fireball Spell』let out a scoff: For burst power, Fire is unquestionably the king of all magic! Lightning? Just noise. Go sit with the kids, don’t intrude.】

【『Fireball Spell』, sneering: Hmph! Before the greatness of flame, lightning is a brat! That fleeting thing dares compare to eternal fire?】

“...Shut up.”

Lin Mo’s lip twitched.

“Keep talking, and no more dragon liver next meal.”

【『Fireball Spell』froze, gritted his teeth, and chose silence.】

With the troublemaker silenced, Lin Mo looked up. “Mom, I think Lightning’s great—super cool. I’ll take it!”

“Good!” Su Wan smiled. “I’ll have someone fetch it and send it to your room.”

“Got it, Mom.”

Lin Mo wiped his mouth and asked casually:

“By the way, Mom, do we have any other mid- or low-tier Fire and Earth skill books? I want to take a few to study.”

In truth, Lin Mo was curious.

These skills were so human-like—if he fed them more skill books, what would happen?

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Su Wan nodded. “We have tons of skill books. I’ll have them sent to you right away.”

Although skill books—even low-tier ones—were expensive on the market,

the Lin family could afford as many as they wanted.

“Thanks, Mom.”

Lin Mo stood up, satisfied. “I’ll head back to rest. Preparing for tomorrow’s big exam.”

…

After Lin Mo left, the dining room fell silent again.

Su Wan paused, turning to Lin Tianhao. “Lao Lin, tomorrow’s the big exam.”

“Yeah, it is.”

Lin Tianhao exhaled a smoke ring. “With Mo’er’s current strength, winning city Top Graduate is like reaching into a pocket. We just need to show up and clap.”

Su Wan rolled her eyes.

“I’m not talking about that. What’s the point of winning city Top Graduate?”

“Your old classmate, Xu Wenchang—I recall he’s an admissions officer for the Dragon Order Class at the Heavenly Dragon Academy, right?”

“Call him. Ask him to come to Jianghai City for this exam.”

Lin Tianhao froze at this.

“Dragon Order Class? That’s the Heavenly Dragon Academy’s elite group—only accepts SS-rank talent or higher, and even then, exam performance matters… SS-rank is just the baseline.”

“Jianghai City only produced one S-rank talent this year—Zhao Yu…”

At this, Su Wan cut Lin Tianhao off directly.

“Old Lin, are you out of your mind? What does that Zhao Yu from the Zhao family have to do with this? Who the hell is he? Does he deserve me going out of my way to summon someone to see him?”

“I’m talking about our Mo’er. Do you really think Mo’er’s talent is worse than some so-called SS rank? Are you blind?”

Su Wan’s sharp words left Lin Tianhao shrinking back in his neck.

“Cough… my dear, calm down, that’s not what I meant.”

“Of course I know our son is amazing—I’m just worried that old Xu might be blind and refuse to come.”

Su Wan sneered, “My Mo’er must enter the Dragon Order Class. You’ll drag him there if you have to.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll call right away.”

Lin Tianhao hurriedly agreed.
