Chapter 344: It

Thump. Thump. Thump.

A knock came at the door.

Immediately, Yan Lie’s voice came through.

“Lin Mo, awake yet?”

“The sun’s already on your butt, time to get up.”

Lin Mo shook off his thoughts and called back to the door.

“Awake. Coming out now.”

Then.

Lin Mo quickly washed up and changed clothes.

He opened the door and stepped into the spacious living room.

At that moment, the living room.

Feng Lao sat on the sofa, holding a remote, engrossed in a TV drama.

Hearing the noise,

Feng Cangqiong turned his head and glanced at Lin Mo.

“Awake?”

At the same time, Feng Cangqiong instinctively cast a scan spell.

“You…”

“Already leveled up again?”

Feng Cangqiong was surprised.

This was the first time he’d felt Lin Mo’s leveling speed up close.

Hearing this,

Yan Lie also sized up Lin Mo thoroughly.

“No way, Lin Mo.”

“Your level is rising too absurdly.”

“You’re already over level forty, and still leveling once a day?”

Feng Cangqiong laughed heartily and sighed:

“Lin Mo, Lin Mo.”

“I have to say, your pact beast is truly formidable.”

“With this clearing efficiency, if your father knew, he’d be green with envy.”

“His Thunder Dragon only deals single-target damage—nowhere near your insane clearing speed.”

Yan Lie nodded furiously beside him, his face full of envy.

“Not just Commander Lin.”

“Anyone would be envious.”

“At your level, everyone’s exhausting themselves outside grinding monsters.”

“You? You just sleep in a hotel room with the AC on, and still clear more than anyone else.”

Yan Lie grew more and more resentful.

“Damn!”

“This is so unfair!”

“Think about it—I grind all night outside, exhausted, and still get fewer kills than your pet!”

“Is there any justice left!”

Listening to Yan Lie’s lament,

Lin Mo laughed and sat down beside him.

“Heh.”

“It’s normal.”

“You can’t even beat my pet—how could your leveling speed compare? Isn’t that expected?”

At these words,

Yan Lie’s expression froze.

“Hahahaha!”

Feng Lao burst into laughter.

“No, Yan Lie, I’m not saying this to mock you—but why do you insist on comparing yourself to Lin Mo?”

“Now look—you’ve only brought shame upon yourself.”

“Oh my, this is killing me.”

After being mercilessly mocked by Feng Lao,

Yan Lie felt his cheeks burn, wishing he could vanish into a crack in the floor.

“Feng Lao, please stop teasing me…”

Yan Lie was on the verge of tears.

This life was unbearable.

Once, he was a revered genius.

Now, before these two, he felt like just a prop in their game.

Lin Mo waved his hand, smiling to ease the tension.

“Just joking, just joking.”

“Don’t take it to heart, Chairman Yan.”

“My pact beast is truly unique—there’s no point comparing.”

Yan Lie rolled his eyes.

“I’ve figured it out.”

“You can compare with anyone—but never with you.”

“It’ll shatter your Dao heart.”

After the laughter subsided,

Feng Cangqiong’s smile faded, and he looked at Lin Mo curiously.

“By the way, Lin Mo.”

“How was your insight last night? Did you hit any bottlenecks?”

How was your insight last night? Did you encounter any bottlenecks?

Yan Lie also looked curious.

He too wanted to know what kind of breakthrough Lin Mo had made overnight.

Seeing their expectant gazes,

Lin Mo paused.

“Uh…”

“My insight… was pretty good.”

“Last night, I made a breakthrough—I learned a new high-tier wind technique. Its name is Riftwind Storm.”

I did make a breakthrough last night—I grasped a new high-grade wind technique called Rending Sky Storm.

Yan Lie involuntarily swore.

“You’re serious?!”

“You’re really getting a high-tier skill every single day without stopping?”

At that moment,

Yan Lie suddenly realized something.

“Wait.”

“Lin Mo, what skill did you just say you learned?”

“Riftwind Storm?”

Lin Mo nodded.

“Yes. Riftwind Storm.”

Yan Lie frowned, then checked his own interface again and again.

“That’s not right.”

“Isn’t it called Riftwind Blade?”

“What the hell is Riftwind Storm? I’ve never heard of it. Are you sure you didn’t misread?”

What the hell is Rending Sky Storm? I’ve never heard of it before. Are you sure you didn’t misread it?

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

He hadn't expected that Xiao Feng's insight was an original technique.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng had mastered a self-created technique.

Feng Cangqiong blinked in surprise.

Feng Cangqiong blinked in slight surprise.

His eyes flickered with surprise as he looked at Lin Mo.

“Sky-Rending Storm?”

“I’ve never heard of a skill with that name.”

At these words,

Yan Lie instantly drew a sharp breath.

“No way, bro?”

“Your cultivation talent is insane!”

“You just awakened Wind affinity, and now you’ve created a high-tier skill—and not just any high-tier skill, but one you invented yourself?”

Feng Cangqiong regarded Lin Mo with a puzzled expression.

“Lin Mo.”

“Are you certain this was inspired by my Sky-Rending Wind Blade?”

Feng Cangqiong stroked his chin.

“One’s called Wind Blade, the other’s called Storm.”

“These names don’t even sound like they’re related.”

Facing Feng Lao’s question,

Lin Mo fell silent for several seconds, then finally nodded.

“Yes, Feng Lao.”

Though it certainly didn’t seem related,

it was indeed Xiao Feng’s insight, built upon the foundation of Wind Blade…

Upon hearing Lin Mo’s confirmation,

Feng Cangqiong fell silent for a moment.

Then,

he burst into loud laughter.

“Hahahaha!”

“Good!”

“Regardless, this proves your unparalleled Wind affinity—unmatched in history!”

Feng Cangqiong’s face glowed with satisfaction.

“Good, good, good!”

“With a prodigy like you!”

“Our Dragon Nation’s Wind lineage has a future!”

After laughing,

Feng Cangqiong glanced at the time.

“Alright.”

“Time’s about up.”

Feng Cangqiong stood, smoothing his robes.

“Let’s go.”

“We’ll head to Qianjun Pavilion and see how Old Mo has done with your weapon.”

As he said this,

a hint of anticipation flashed in Feng Cangqiong’s eyes.

“And let’s test your new skill at the training ground.”

“I want to see for myself exactly what you’ve improved in my Sky-Rending Wind Blade!”

“….”

Hearing those final words,

Lin Mo’s mouth twitched sharply.

Improved what exactly?

Does removing the single-target burst damage count?

Does turning a divine technique for sniping enemy commanders from a thousand troops into a stationary tornado shield count?

Yan Lie stepped closer, equally eager.

“Exactly, let’s go!”

“I want to see how you’ve changed Feng Lao’s Sky-Rending Wind Blade.”

In the skill bar,

“Earth Submergence” quietly appeared.

【“Master, no worries…”】

【“When it starts spinning, tell Wuwu to spin faster—the old man might think it’s impressive…”】

Lin Mo roared inwardly.

“Shut up!”

Xiao Tu flinched violently.

Instantly fell silent, retreating meekly to the corner of the skill bar.

Lin Mo looked at Feng Cangqiong and Yan Lie, both beaming with anticipation, and forced a nervous laugh.

“Heh… heh…”

“Let’s go.”
