Chapter 354: It Feels Good to Have a Little Brother

Soon.

Inside the vast Star Shatter Trial Ground, only Lin Mo, Feng Cangqiong, and Yan Lie remained.

Once Mo Qianjun and the others had gone far away.

Feng Cangqiong’s gaze fell again on Lin Mo.

“Lin Mo.”

“Although your ‘Rending Storm’ was indeed powerful just now.”

“That doesn’t mean you can neglect pursuing single-target skills!”

Feng Cangqiong pointed at the broken wooden stakes on the ground.

“The weaknesses of your Rending Storm are equally obvious.”

“It’s an area-of-effect skill centered on yourself.”

“In plain terms.”

“It’s still a skill geared toward defense and positional warfare.”

“If enemies don’t get close to you, your storm won’t reach them—or rather, the farther away they are, the lower the damage after the storm disperses.”

Feng Cangqiong looked at Lin Mo and spoke with solemn gravity:

“The essence of a mage lies in long-range bombardment and sniping.”

“Although you already possess many high-tier ranged skills.”

“You can’t neglect wind skills either.”

“Wind must have a single-target skill capable of instant one-shot kills at extreme range!”

“The wind element’s single-target slicing and slaying ability is irreplaceable by any other element, understood?”

Listening to Feng Lao’s teachings.

Lin Mo nodded solemnly.

“I understand, Feng Lao.”

“Rest assured, I won’t let my understanding of single-target skills slip.”

While verbally agreeing with Feng Lao.

Lin Mo mentally scolded Xiao Feng.

“Xiao Feng, hear that?”

“Tonight, focus deeply.”

“Tomorrow morning, I expect a high-damage wind single-target skill!”

In the skill bar.

“Wind Blade Technique” flickered with faint green light several times.

【“I heard you, Master!”】

【“Xiao Feng remembers!”】

【“Xiao Feng will work hard tonight!”】

Hearing Xiao Feng’s promise.

Lin Mo finally nodded in satisfaction inside his mind.

……

Afterwards.

Lin Mo, Feng Cangqiong, and Yan Lie left Qianjun Pavilion.

On the way.

War specialists still passed by in great numbers.

Most were discussing the strange events outside the town today.

“Did you hear? The high-level leveling zone to the south has been completely cleared of monsters!”

“It’s not just the south! The west, north, and east are all monster-free too!”

“Who the hell did this? So ruthless? Are they even letting us level anymore?”

“This is insane…”

Hearing the passersby’s complaints.

Yan Lie walked beside Lin Mo, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

……

A few hours later.

Lin Mo, Feng Cangqiong, and Yan Lie returned to their five-star hotel.

Before arriving at the hotel.

The three had also stopped by the Starforging Town’s dungeon center.

Lin Mo took the opportunity to solo a team dungeon—and unsurprisingly, set a new team dungeon record.

Lin Mo’s level reached 48.

“Monster…”

Yan Lie glanced at Lin Mo beside him.

“That was a team dungeon.”

“Team dungeons usually require twenty specialists, after long-term coordination and training.”

“And even then, you need calm command and tight teamwork to clear them.”

“And you not only soloed it—you broke the record again?”

Yan Lie’s gaze looked as if he were staring at an alien monster.

“Cough… cough…”

Lin Mo rubbed his chin.

“Chairman Yan, don’t get so worked up.”

“It’s just a small team dungeon. Hard?”

“…”

Yan Lie was left speechless.

Seeing this.

Feng Cangqiong couldn’t help laughing:

“Enough with the dramatics. You’re a former Qingsheng Association chairman—can’t you have a prodigy’s mindset?”

“How many team dungeon records has Lin Mo broken? Still not used to it?”

Hearing Feng Cangqiong’s words.

Yan Lie sighed with utter despair.

“A prodigy’s mindset?”

“Stop joking, Feng Lao.”

“Before I met Lin Mo, I really thought I was pretty awesome.”

“But now, I feel like I’m just… a stray dog on the street…”

Hearing Yan Lie’s self-mockery.

Lin Mo quickly patted Yan Lie’s shoulder and comforted him:

“Chairman Yan, don’t talk like that about yourself.”

“Even if you’re bad, you’re still better than a stray dog on the street!”

“Have some confidence!”

“…”

Yan Lie gave Lin Mo a slow, weary look.

Speaking.

The three arrived at their suite.

Feng Cangqiong pointed at Lin Mo’s room.

“Alright.”

“Lin Mo, you’ve been exhausted all afternoon.”

“Go rest. Tomorrow morning we’re going to watch weapon forging.”

“Got it, Feng Lao. You rest early too.”

Lin Mo nodded.

……

Inside the bedroom.

The door closed.

Lin Mo collapsed onto the sofa.

To say he was tired, he wasn’t really.

After all, in the dungeon, he’d just used his low-level fire spell and high-level white spell, blasting through everything.

Lin Mo thought of it.

A soft white light flashed.

Da Bai instantly appeared at Lin Mo’s feet.

It frantically rubbed against Lin Mo’s pant leg, emitting soft whimpers of affection.

Its massive tail behind it swished like a propeller.

It showed not an ounce of the dignity befitting a legendary ferocious beast.

Lin Mo smiled and reached out, vigorously ruffling Da Bai’s head.

“Good boy.”

Then,

Lin Mo spoke inwardly to his skills.

“Alright, family, it’s time to level up and hunt monsters.”

【“Battle’s awesome!”】

“Fireball” was the first to speak, radiating fierce battle intent.

【“I can’t wait any longer!”】

【“I’ll make the demons outside feel true destruction!”】

Lin Mo glanced at his skills.

Good—they were all full of energy.

Only by maintaining this atmosphere could he grow stronger while doing nothing.

“Little Wind!”

Lin Mo turned to “Wind Blade” and called out.

【“Here, Master!”】

“Wind Blade” looked obediently up at him.

Lin Mo seriously warned:

“Remember, tonight you’re not allowed to research any more defensive skills—we already have too many.”

“The wind element still lacks a single-target high-damage skill.”

“Understood?”

Hearing his master’s command,

“Wind Blade” nodded frantically.

【“Got it, Master!”】

Seeing Little Wind’s earnest attitude,

Lin Mo felt slightly reassured.

Next,

Lin Mo turned to “Earth Dodge.”

“Little Earth!”

Suddenly called out, “Earth Shield” jolted in surprise.

【“Huh? I’m here, Master!”】

Lin Mo snorted coldly.

“Tonight, don’t you dare give me any more stupid ideas—if you drag Little Wind off track again, I’ll hold you responsible!”

Hearing this stern warning,

“Earth Dodge” also hurriedly nodded.

【“Understood, Master…”】

Having settled everything,

Lin Mo casually waved his hand.

“Alright.”

“Let’s… go!”

No sooner had he spoken

than five brilliant elemental lights shot out instantly.

Da Bai also lifted his head excitedly.

“Ying!”

As a fox howl echoed,

Da Bai and the skills leapt out the window, racing toward the wilds of Zhuxing Town.

Lin Mo watched the skills vanish, a contented smile tugging at his lips.

“Having underlings feels great.”

“It’s time for a truly satisfying game.”
