Chapter 352: The True All-Element Mage?

“He’s really a monster…”

Xiao Li swallowed hard.

He stared in the direction of Lin Mo, his eyes filled with deep reverence.

A few seconds later.

Xiao Li took a few steps forward, walking toward Lin Mo.

“Chairman Lin!”

Xiao Li reached Lin Mo’s side, his tone sincere.

“I admit, your talent is unmatched in my lifetime.”

“You are a true prodigy, an unparalleled genius unseen since antiquity!”

“But!”

Xiao Li lifted his head, his gaze resolute.

“As a smith of Qianjun Pavilion, there are some things I still feel compelled to urge you to consider!”

“Regarding the crafting of your forbidden-grade specialized weapon.”

“Please abandon this dangerous idea of achieving perfect balance across all five elements!”

Upon hearing this,

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Why are we circling back to this again?

Before Lin Mo could speak, Xiao Li hurried on:

“Chairman Lin, you may not be fully aware of the basics of specialized weapons.”

The gap between a perfect term and an ordinary term is like heaven and earth!

After all, he was currently handling the crafting of this unparalleled prodigy’s specialized weapon—if he messed it up now, it would be an unforgivable waste.

This was a chance to leave a legacy for ten thousand generations!

Xiao Li grew more and more agitated.

“If you insist on forging a five-element specialized weapon,”

“you must divide your attention to control all five elements simultaneously during infusion—the difficulty rivals a mortal climbing to heaven!”

“If you fail,”

“the weapon will be destroyed outright.”

Even if you succeed, achieving true five-element perfect balance and crafting a perfect term is nearly impossible.

Most likely, even if you succeed, you’ll end up with only five ordinary terms.

They cannot compare at all to single- or dual-element perfect terms.

Xiao Li gazed at Lin Mo, pleading:

“Please, Chairman Lin, think carefully! Don’t waste the Divine Forging Stone!”

Hearing Xiao Li’s highly professional and earnest plea,

Lin Mo smiled.

There was nothing he could do—he had five ancestors inside him.

Hard to play favorites…

Lin Mo waved his hand.

“Master Xiao.”

“No need to persuade me further.”

“My decision won’t change.”

No matter how difficult, I want a five-element term.

Upon hearing Lin Mo’s unhesitating refusal,

Xiao Li froze completely.

“Chairman Lin…”

“You…”

He couldn’t understand why Lin Mo was so stubborn!

This was like joking with a supreme divine artifact!

Just as Xiao Li was about to speak again,

“Enough!”

A furious shout came from the sidelines.

Mo Qianjun glared at Xiao Li and Lu Mingzhang, his face dark with anger.

“Didn’t I just tell the two of you to shut up?!”

“I’ve already agreed to go along with Lin Mo’s madness—why are you still jabbering here?”

“Think you’re so clever?”

“Go back to your furnaces!”

“Not a single step outside this hall without my order!”

After being scolded so harshly by his master,

Xiao Li and Lu Mingzhang shuddered and immediately bowed their heads.

“Yes… Master…”

The two turned and walked away dejectedly toward Qianjun Pavilion.

Watching their retreating backs,

Lin Mo turned and patted Yan Lie on the shoulder, who had been watching the scene with amusement.

“Let’s go, Chairman Yan.”

Yan Lie chuckled and followed behind Lin Mo.

The two walked toward the edge of the arena, where Mo Qianjun and Feng Cangqiong stood.

…

As Lin Mo and Yan Lie approached,

Mo Qianjun’s face broke into a brilliant smile.

“Hahaha!”

Mo Qianjun lavished praise without restraint, giving a thumbs-up.

“Lin Mo, you little rascal—you’re something else!”

“No wonder the Five Elders chose you, no wonder you’re the Dragon Nation’s Dragon Guardian!”

Mo Qianjun sighed in admiration:

“Today’s display has truly opened my eyes!”

“With your current spiritual power, you’ve controlled the area-of-effect of wind elements with exquisite precision.”

“Those dozens of wooden stakes—I know how hard they are.”

“Your self-created high-level technique is incredible!”

Facing Mo Lao’s praise,

Lin Mo smiled modestly.

“Master Mo flatters me—I merely had a lucky insight.”

Mo Qianjun laughed heartily.

Then he turned and nudged Feng Cangqiong beside him with his elbow.

“Feng old ghost.”

“This kid Lin Mo’s talent with wind elements—I’d say it’s no worse than yours.”

Yet,

Feng Cangqiong showed no reaction.

Mo Qianjun blinked.

“Huh?”

“Feng old ghost? What are you doing?”

At this moment, Feng Cangqiong had clearly slipped into a state of flow.

He stared fixedly at the broken wooden stakes in the center of the arena.

His eyes vacant, muttering softly under his breath.

“So that’s how it is…”

“According to my old understanding, wind blades were compressed in one direction with extreme speed.”

“But if, within the wind blade, you simultaneously control a reverse current of wind element…”

“One forward, one backward—converging, tearing, slicing…”

Feng Cangqiong suddenly lifted his head.

“So that’s how it is!”

“I get it! I finally get it!”

Feng Cangqiong spun around and seized Lin Mo’s hand.

“Lin Mo!”

“Thank you!”

“Your technique, Storm of the Shattered Sky—while the wind blades cut clockwise, their interior hides counterclockwise wind blades!”

“Such extreme wind manipulation requiring split focus.”

“Old man has understood!”

“With this control, the wind blades could grow stronger by more than double!”

Feng Cangqiong released Lin Mo’s hand and laughed aloud to the sky.

“Once your weapon is forged, after I escort you back to Jingda, I will immediately enter seclusion!”

“Unless I break through this final layer of paper, I will not leave my seclusion!”

Hearing Feng Cangqiong’s words,

Mo Qianjun was stunned.

He looked at Feng Cangqiong, then at Lin Mo.

“Feng the Old Ghost, weren’t you supposed to be teaching Lin Mo?”

“How did it become you who understood?”

Hearing Mo Qianjun’s remark,

“Hahaha!”

Feng Cangqiong laughed freely, unconcerned.

He patted Mo Qianjun on the shoulder.

“What’s wrong with that?”

“On the path to strength, the one who understands leads!”

Feng Cangqiong looked at Lin Mo, his eyes filled with admiration and fondness.

“This boy’s understanding of elements has long surpassed conventional bounds.”

“For me to gain insight from him is my fortune!”

“What’s there to be ashamed of?”

Hearing Feng Cangqiong’s candid admission,

Mo Qianjun cast another deep look at Lin Mo and couldn’t help but sigh.

“What an anomaly.”

“The five traditional elemental schools of magic—each one so extraordinary...”

“He’s already the first in history, and likely the last, a Five-Element Magic King.”

“If...”

Mo Qianjun stroked his chin, a look of curiosity crossing his face.

He turned to Feng Cangqiong:

“Feng the Old Ghost.”

“Do you think...”

“If Lin Mo were to master Light and Dark—the two supreme elements—with his monstrous talent, perhaps...”

The more Mo Qianjun imagined it, the more his heart raced.

“If even Light and Dark could be mastered like this...”

“Then he’d truly be the only true all-element mage in Blue Star—the only true god of Blue Star!”
