Chapter 347: Who the Hell Is This Pointing At?

Inside the Thousand Weight Pavilion's forging hall.

With Mo Qianjun's words spoken.

The five apprentices present all stopped their hand movements.

Wei Yan, as the eldest senior brother, had the steadiest temperament.

He let out a sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Continuous high-intensity mental precision manipulation, even for an SS-grade forger like him, had indeed brought a trace of fatigue.

Being able to rest for a while was naturally excellent.

Not far away, Xiao Li and Lu Mingzhang exchanged a glance.

They had long felt their limbs growing sore.

Finally, they could rest.

Most importantly.

They could go see the one now rumored to be legendary, the one dominating the headlines as the "Number One Prodigy in History" take action.

Xiao Li chuckled.

"Master."

"We've certainly caught some of the glory."

"Just in time to witness firsthand the style of this legendary Number One Prodigy in History."

Lu Mingzhang quickly chimed in beside him.

"Yes, Master."

"These past few days, my ears have almost grown calluses from listening."

"I really want to see it with my own eyes."

Mo Qianjun glanced at these two apprentices.

"Enough."

"Stop wasting words; if you want to see, just follow quietly."

Mo Qianjun waved his hand.

Afterwards, he turned to look at Feng Cangqiong and put on a smiling face.

"Shall we go then?"

Feng Cangqiong nodded with a smile.

"Let's go."

……

The crowd followed the internal passage of the Thousand Weight Pavilion, walking toward the trial ground in the rear courtyard.

Along the way.

Feng Cangqiong, hands clasped behind his back, walked side by side with Mo Qianjun at the very front.

"Old Ghost Feng."

Mo Qianjun asked with a face full of curiosity:

"You just said Lin Mo comprehended a new high-level wind-element skill?"

He chuckled.

"If I'm not mistaken."

"It should be your signature high-level wind-element skill, 'Sky-Splitting Wind Blade', right? That move is also your trademark, Old Ghost Feng."

"Back in the day, you used that move to kill quite a few Adams people, didn't you?"

Hearing Mo Qianjun's flattery.

"Hahahaha..."

Feng Cangqiong smiled, then shook his head.

"Yes and no."

"Hmm?"

Mo Qianjun was stunned for a moment.

If it is, it is.

If it isn't, it isn't.

What does "yes and no" mean?

Feng Cangqiong looked at the bewildered Mo Qianjun and smiled lightly:

"I did show that young man the 'Sky-Splitting Wind Blade', and I did intend to teach that move to him."

"But the problem is, that young man doesn't play by the rules..."

Feng Cangqiong paused and let out a sigh.

"In just one night's time, that young man, based on my 'Sky-Splitting Wind Blade', improved upon it to create a brand new high-level wind-element skill."

"..."

Mo Qianjun froze.

Not only did he comprehend a high-level skill, but he also created a high-level skill himself?

Is he that monstrous?

"This talent..."

Mo Qianjun couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Mo following behind, his eyes full of admiration.

"Truly a peerless monster..."

Feng Cangqiong smiled.

"The name's pretty霸气."

"It's called Riftwind Storm."

"Riftwind Storm?"

Mo Qianjun rubbed his chin.

"Hearing that name…"

"Did this kid turn this skill into an area-of-effect damage ability?"

Feng Cangqiong nodded.

"Sounds like it."

Mo Qianjun looked surprised.

"You can even modify it like that? I've never heard of such a thing."

Feng Cangqiong clasped his hands behind his back.

"Who knows?"

"That kid is downright strange."

"Wait till we get to the trial ground—we'll see the power then."

……

Listening to the conversation of the two senior masters ahead,

Xiao Li and Lu Mingzhang, walking behind, exchanged a glance.

They lowered their voices and leaned close to whisper.

Xiao Li sneered, his face full of skepticism.

"Pfft."

"What's there to improve?"

Xiao Li muttered under his breath:

"Feng Lao's Riftwind Blade—its single-target damage is already near the peak among high-tier skills."

"It's long been recognized as the strongest high-tier wind skill."

"How do you even improve it? Where do you improve it?"

Lu Mingzhang nodded in agreement, whispering in support.

"Exactly."

"And just listen to that name."

"Riftwind Storm?"

"Improving it? Turning single-target into area-of-effect? That's completely opposite directions!"

Lu Mingzhang shook his head.

"How much damage can area-of-effect possibly do?"

"When that storm hits the trial ground, it won't even scratch the surface of our giant wooden stakes!"

"Let alone cut through them!"

Xiao Li chuckled and kept muttering under his breath.

"How could it possibly cut through?"

"Even ordinary high-tier area skills—even from common Wind Law Masters with maxed skill proficiency—can't always slice through those specially made stakes!"

"One is an ultra-compressed single-target strike; the other is a dispersed area attack."

"They're completely different things!"

"Besides…"

Xiao Li grew more convinced with every word.

"Lin Mo only just awakened this skill last night."

"In terms of skill awakening, Lin Mo is indeed insane."

"But how could he possibly max out proficiency right away?"

"I bet when he uses it, the damage will just be scratching the surface of our special stakes."

Lu Mingzhang sighed, looking regretful.

"Sigh, I have to say."

"We just don't understand the mindset of history's greatest prodigy."

"He ignores the safe, reliable path."

"He insists on courting death."

"He refuses to pursue a perfect single- or even dual-element weapon."

"He insists on chasing a five-element perfect-word weapon—with near-zero success rate!"

Lu Mingzhang shook his head.

"Now it's the same."

"He won't learn Feng Lao's already-perfect single-target high-tier wind skill—Riftwind Blade."

"He insists on inventing some area-of-effect storm."

Xiao Li nodded vigorously in agreement.

"Exactly…"

"From what I see…"

"Just follow Old Feng and learn that single-target 'Sky-Splitting Wind Blade'—how much better would that be!"

"The single-target power of that technique is simply terrifying!"

Xiao Li made a slashing motion.

"With that power, I'd bet even if you dragged over a random pig, it could slice right through our special wooden stake."

"Why bother with improvements? You're just bored out of your mind…"

Although their voices had been lowered considerably,

Yan Lie and Lin Mo, walking just ahead of them, still heard every word.

Yan Lie's face turned crimson.

A pig that learned the Sky-Splitting Wind Blade could slice through that special wooden stake?

I couldn't even cut through it.

Who the hell are you pointing at here?

You might as well just shout out my ID number!

Yan Lie's temper could no longer be contained.

He stopped walking, spun around sharply, and glared furiously at Xiao Li and Lu Mingzhang.

"Hey hey hey!"

"What are you two whispering about?"

"Dare you say it again?"

Yan Lie's sudden shout startled Xiao Li and Lu Mingzhang badly.

They hadn't expected that such a low whisper could still be heard clearly by the former Youth Association chairman!

But they were talking about Lin Mo.

Why are you, the former Youth Association chairman, jumping in like this?

You former president of the Youth Association, why are you jumping out here?
