Chapter 342: New Skill: Sky-Rending Storm?

Soon.

Another half hour passed.

Zhao Meng and Li Qiang were panting heavily, their legs feeling like they were lead-filled.

The two arrived at a high-level leveling zone south of Zhuxing Town: Shuiyan Valley.

Fuck…

Why are there no monsters at all on the south side?

Zhao Meng was already on the verge of breaking down.

What made him even more devastated was:

Along the entire way, they hadn’t seen a single monster.

In the distance, blinding earth-yellow light and cyan wind-element effects had ignited!

Boom—

The ground trembled.

On the horizon, a colossal tornado could faintly be seen rising from the earth.

Even from far away,

Zhao Meng and Li Qiang felt a chill run through them.

Fine.

Fire, ice, lightning… now earth and wind have shown up too…

All five are here.

Li Qiang sighed.

“This is almost certainly Lin Mo’s big boss clearing monsters.”

Hearing this, Zhao Meng plopped down on the ground.

Fuck!

Is Lin Mo even human?

He’s practically an entire army…

Is this how you clear monsters?

Has he stripped every wild monster around Zhuxing Town bare?

Li Qiang also couldn’t help but grimace.

He stepped forward and patted Zhao Meng on the shoulder.

Forget it, Lao Zhao.

Let’s head back.

With Lin Mo’s big boss around, we probably won’t see a single monster outside Zhuxing Town anymore.

Zhao Meng let out a long, bitter sigh.

Fuck!

I was finally feeling some real passion!

I actually wanted to pull an all-nighter!

And now you tell me all the monsters are gone?

Where the hell am I supposed to unleash this burning passion?

Listening to Zhao Meng’s rant,

Li Qiang also let out a deep sigh.

Can’t compete.

Really can’t compete.

Let’s just accept being useless.

…

Meanwhile,

At another location outside Zhuxing Town,

a desolate canyon region,

the three brothers from India were crouching stealthily.

“How’s it going, Shar?”

The eldest, Raj, whispered.

Shar’s eyes gleamed with excitement:

“Big brother, it’s done! This boss should be spawned in at most two days.”

Raj nodded in satisfaction.

Good.

Just then,

Boom—!!!

In the distant sky, dazzling skill effects flared.

The second brother, Bahu, frowned.

“What the hell is that noise? It’s been going nonstop since earlier.”

Shar couldn’t help saying:

“This must be some guild from Zhuxing Town organizing a Yewaishuaguai session. Is everyone here really that obsessed? It’s already this late…”

Raj said sternly:

“Ignore it. None of our business.”

“Let’s go. Don’t just stand here—someone might spot us.”

“Big brother’s right. Let’s go!”

Shar said, standing up.

In an instant, the three vanished into the night.

…

Time had reached the next morning.

Inside the presidential suite.

Lin Mo opened his eyes half-asleep.

He’d slept soundly.

He stretched, and a series of crisp pops echoed through his bones.

Comfortable…

Lin Mo turned his head toward the bedside.

There stood Bai Bai, proudly upright, its fur turned crimson, wisps of sparks drifting from its tail.

Fox of Fire form.

Lin Mo smiled faintly.

Clearly, Xiao Hu had taken first place in tonight’s monster-clearing contest.

Just then,

the voice of ‘Fireball Spell’ rang out, arrogantly.

【“Master, see that?”】

【“I told you long ago—what could these useless fools possibly compete with me?”】

【“I took first place without a doubt!”】

【“Every last monster on the western hillside has been reduced to ash by my hands!”】

‘Ice Spike Spell’ snorted.

【“What’s there to be proud of?”】

【“You just have a bigger area of effect.”】

‘Fireball Spell’ shot back immediately:

【“That’s power! What? Jealous?”】

Hearing Xiao Hu’s words,

Lin Mo smiled and praised:

“Well done, Xiao Hu.”

“You’re still the best big brother.”

Upon hearing his master’s praise,

‘Fireball Spell’ swelled even more.

【“Naturally—I’m destined to become a forbidden spell!”】

Lin Mo ignored it.

He turned his thoughts inward, checking his panel.

【Level: Lv.47 (76%)】

Looking at the level on the panel.

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

Good, good.

This efficiency is pretty fast.

One night’s sleep, and I’ve steadily leveled up again.

Just then.

“Fireball Spell” spoke up again, smugly.

【“Master, do you know I had a new insight last night and learned a new high-tier skill?”】

Hearing this,

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

“Oh?”

“A new high-tier skill?”

Lin Mo immediately turned his gaze to the fire skill tree.

Sure enough.

【Flame Dragon Break (High-Tier): After activation, flames erupt around you, forming a fire ring that inflicts massive fire damage to any enemy it touches, and all your melee attacks gain massive fire damage, each strike accompanied by a phantom image of a Flame Dragon. Duration: 2 minutes. Cooldown: 3 minutes.】

Looking at this new fire skill,

Lin Mo froze for a moment.

Flame Dragon Break?

Isn’t that the one…

Fang Wen’s signature fire skill from the North China Council?

I never expected Little Fire would just steal it outright?

Not bad!

But looking at this skill’s effect,

Lin Mo couldn’t help but feel exasperated.

I just wanted to be a mage who casts spells from afar—I have no interest in close combat.

Still, even though I have no interest,

my current melee capability is terrifying…

Lava Armor, Extreme Blade Wind Armor, and now this Flame Dragon Break.

Lin Mo’s mouth twitched involuntarily.

With this melee power, even an SSS-tier melee specialist would probably get smashed into pieces with a single punch, right?

Thinking of this,

Lin Mo didn’t really care.

More skills never weigh you down.

Having one more high-tier skill is always good.

Just then,

“Wind Blade Spell” couldn’t hold back any longer.

Little Wind’s tone was brimming with pride.

【“Master!”】

【“Little Wind had an insight last night too!”】

【“Little Wind also learned a high-tier skill!”】

Hearing Little Wind’s voice,

“Earth Shield Spell” beside him immediately puffed out its chest.

【“Cough, cough, Little Five, be modest.”】

【“It’s mainly thanks to Master’s excellent teaching, plus a bit of guidance from yours truly, Brother Two.”】

Hearing that Little Wind had also learned a high-tier skill,

Lin Mo’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“Oh?”

“Is it Sky-Splitting Wind Blade?”

“Let me take a look.”

Saying this,

Lin Mo checked the wind skill tree.

Hmm.

Sky-Splitting… Storm?!

【Sky-Splitting Storm (High-Tier): Summon a massive tornado centered on yourself, filled with countless wind blades that deal massive wind damage to all targets within. You may freely expand or contract the storm’s radius—the larger the radius, the lower the damage. Cooldown: 3 minutes.】
