Chapter 353: Dawn

Hearing Mo Qianjun’s sigh,

Lin Mo’s heart stirred.

The Light and Dark elements, the two supreme elements.

Who wouldn’t yearn for them?

In this world,

Even among SSS-class professions, Light and Dark SSS-class professions are stronger than ordinary SSS-class ones.

In the skill bar,

【“Pfft!”】

『Fireball Spell』was the first to express disdain.

【“What crap is this so-called supreme element!”】

『Fireball Spell』snorted arrogantly.

【“Before my absolute firepower, all Light and Dark elements will be blown to smithereens!”】

Hearing Xiao Huo’s boastful words,

『Ice Spike Spell』unusually stayed silent and agreed:

【“Master, Master!”】

【“Don’t believe this old man!”】

【“What supreme dual-element?”】

【“Only Ice is the strongest, the most elegant!”】

In the corner,

『Lightning Strike Spell』also spoke calmly.

【“A frog in a well dares to speak of the supreme?”】

【“Under heavenly punishment, Light and Dark are illusions.”】

【“All I need is one Thunder God Spear to pierce through everything.”】

Seeing that Big Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Sister had all spoken,

『Earth Shield Spell』wouldn’t be left behind.

【“Exactly, exactly!”】

【“What Light or Dark element can match me, Second Brother, in sheer durability?!”】

【“Can they protect Master from every angle like I do?”】

Nearby, 『Wind Blade Spell』blinked its wide, confused eyes.

Though it didn’t fully understand Light and Dark dual-element,

Following the principle of sticking close to Second Brother,

Xiao Feng chimed in too.

【“Exactly, exactly!”】

Lin Mo’s lip twitched.

Damn.

Xiao Guang and Xiao An haven’t even shown up yet, and you’re all already on edge?

Is this the pressure of the supreme dual-element?

Then,

Lin Mo pulled his thoughts back.

He looked at Feng Cangqiong and Mo Qianjun and voiced his question.

“Feng Lao, Mo Lao.”

Lin Mo paused, his tone turning serious.

“Actually, about Light and Dark…”

“I asked my father before.”

Lin Mo recalled his father’s warning.

“My father said, if you’re not a Light or Dark profession, and as a regular elemental mage you forcibly try to touch or comprehend Light and Dark elements…”

“It’s extremely dangerous.”

“Is that true?”

Hearing Lin Mo’s question,

Feng Cangqiong’s smile slowly faded, his expression turning grave.

“Lin Tianhao is right.”

Feng Cangqiong nodded.

“And it’s not just possible.”

“It’s almost certainly fatal!”

Feng Cangqiong took a deep breath and explained patiently:

“Lin Mo, you must understand.

The five regular elements—Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Thunder—though differing in nature and even countering each other,

can coexist.

So even without any talent, one can learn skills of other elemental systems; it’s just that without talent, you won’t go far.”

Feng Cangqiong stared into Lin Mo’s eyes.

“But Light and Dark are completely different.

They are extreme forces.

These two forces exhibit fierce hostility toward the five regular elements!”

Here,

Feng Cangqiong’s tone grew heavier.

“If you, at your current level, forcibly try to access Light and Dark skills,

there is… almost no chance of survival.”

After hearing Feng Cangqiong’s explanation,

Lin Mo sucked in a sharp breath.

Damn.

Is it really that deadly?

Looks like my father wasn’t just scaring me.

Lin Mo was a man who cherished his life.

He already had five elemental spirits within him, his future bright, already one of Longguo’s top talents.

There was absolutely no need to risk his life for some so-called Light and Dark dual-element.

Too risky.

“Then…”

Lin Mo rubbed his nose, unable to resist asking:

“If it’s this dangerous, then at what realm, or under what conditions, can one safely attempt it?”

“Can’t it be completely impossible?”

Feng Cangqiong fell silent for a moment.

Then he spoke slowly:

“There is.”

“The first path is to suppress with absolute power.

If your five elemental powers all reach the Forbidden Spell level—that is, the Sovereign realm—

then even if Light and Dark are overbearing, they won’t cause trouble; your success rate will be high.”

“Five Forbidden Spells?”

Lin Mo frowned.

So there was still a chance.

Just wait, then?

But it’s still far off.

He hadn’t even reached High Rank yet.

Before Lin Mo could speak,

Feng Cangqiong continued:

“There’s a second path.

Seven hundred years ago in Longguo, there was an extraordinarily brilliant mage.

He entered the Light element at the High Rank stage—when he was a Magic God.”

Hearing this,

Lin Mo’s eyes lit up.

Entered Light at High Rank?

How did he do it?

Lin Mo asked urgently.

Feng Cangqiong looked at Lin Mo, paused, then replied:

“Because by a stroke of luck, he obtained an extremely rare artifact: the Dawn Heart.”

“That artifact protected his body and neutralized the elemental repulsion.”

“...Dawn Heart?”

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, curious. “Where was it found?”

These words fell silent.

Feng Cangqiong gazed at Lin Mo quietly, then shook his head firmly.

“No.”

“Huh?”

Lin Mo froze.

Feng Cangqiong sighed helplessly.

“In the historical records of Longguo, only one such artifact ever appeared. As for its origin—no one knows.”

Lin Mo: “...”

Great.

After all that talk.

This second path is just empty promises.

Might as well just wait patiently for the first path.

Watching Lin Mo’s expression of utter disbelief,

Mo Qianjun couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

He clapped Lin Mo on the shoulder and comforted him:

“Come on!”

“Lin Mo, don’t rush yourself.”

“With your insane comprehension and leveling speed,”

“I’d say a full-elemental forbidden spell isn’t beyond your reach at all.”

“Maybe just a few years?”

Mo Qianjun spoke with solemn sincerity.

“Once you become the Five-Element Supreme, how could you fail to absorb Light and Darkness?”

“Focus on walking the path before you—that’s the safest way.”

Feng Cangqiong nodded beside him, fully agreeing with Old Mo.

“Old Mo’s right.”

“Your top priority now is to fully develop your potential in all five elements.”

“Don’t reach for the stars.”

“Your performance so far has already been astonishing.”

Hearing the reassurance from these two masters,

Lin Mo could only nod helplessly.

“I understand.”

“Don’t worry, Feng Lao, Mo Lao—I’m very attached to my life. I won’t touch Light and Darkness without solid confidence.”

“Good.”

Feng Cangqiong nodded with satisfaction.

At that moment,

Mo Qianjun glanced at the time, then turned back to Feng Cangqiong.

“Alright.”

“Since we’ve admired Lin Mo’s prowess, we won’t stay any longer.”

Mo Qianjun pointed toward the direction of Qianjun Pavilion.

“I’ve still got Lin Mo’s weapon embryo warming in my Starfire Furnace. I need to get back and watch over it.”

Feng Cangqiong nodded.

“Go, go.”

“Weapon forging is top priority—don’t make any mistakes.”

Mo Qianjun turned and waved toward his disciples in the distance.

“Yunshang! Wei Yan!”

“Stop dawdling—come back with me to watch the furnace!”

“Yes, Master!”

Jiang Yunshang and the others quickly responded.

After replying,

Jiang Yunshang stole one last glance at Lin Mo, then quickly lowered her head and hurriedly followed her master, Mo Qianjun, out of the training ground.
