Chapter 358: Monster! Two High-Rank Skills in One Day?

Calmed down the several ancestors inside my body.

Lin Mo got up and washed up.

He changed into a clean, neat outfit, opened the door, and stepped out of the master bedroom.

As soon as he entered the living room.

He saw Yan Lie slumped on the sofa, eyes swollen with dark circles, looking utterly defeated.

Feng Cangqiong sat on the sofa, casually watching TV.

Hearing the sound of the door opening.

Both turned their heads at once.

“Lin Mo, awake?”

Feng Cangqiong greeted with a smile.

Yan Lie, seeing Lin Mo, immediately sighed.

“Lin Mo, Lin Mo, be a human!”

“???”

Lin Mo’s face was full of question marks.

Yan Lie pointed at his dark circles.

“Look at my eyes!”

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and asked curiously:

“What’s going on? Didn’t sleep well last night?”

Yan Lie sighed helplessly:

“Last night I thought, since I had nothing better to do, I’d go outside the town for some fun.”

“I know your summoned beast is terrifying at clearing monsters—I never expected to compete with your monstrous pet for spawns.”

“But I figured—”

“With such a vast wilderness around Zhuxing Town—”

“There must be some lone monsters I could take down for a bit of XP. Isn’t that reasonable?”

Hearing this,

Lin Mo’s mouth twitched.

“Uh…”

“Reasonable, very reasonable.”

Yan Lie looked miserable:

“You know it’s reasonable!”

“I wandered all day and didn’t see a single demon’s hair!”

“I just wanted to kill one and go back to sleep!”

“Just one, okay?”

“Kill one and I’d return to sleep!”

Hearing this,

Lin Mo finally understood.

So this guy had been up all night without seeing a single monster.

I have to say, these ancestors of ours are really something else...

No wonder my level-up speed is so much faster than others’.

“Cough, cough…”

Lin Mo smiled and said:

“Can’t help it—my Bai Bai is still a kid.”

“Sees a monster and can’t walk away.”

“Forgive me, forgive me.”

“...”

Yan Lie was speechless.

Feng Cangqiong, sitting on the sofa, couldn’t help laughing at their conversation.

“Hahaha!”

“Yan Lie, Yan Lie.”

Feng Cangqiong shook his head and chuckled:

“Didn’t I warn you last night? Lin Mo’s pet clears monsters at an insane rate. You didn’t believe me and insisted on going out anyway.”

After being mocked by Feng Cangqiong,

Yan Lie slumped back into the sofa.

“Fine, fine.”

“I deserve it. I’m weak. I’m slow.”

“I can’t take this anymore…”

Yan Lie stared blankly at the ceiling, utterly defeated.

After teasing Yan Lie,

Feng Cangqiong’s smile faded, and his gaze returned to Lin Mo.

“Lin Mo.”

“How’s it going? Did you master that Wind-element single-target high-damage skill?”

Though he asked this,

Feng Cangqiong already knew.

With Lin Mo’s talent, he’d almost certainly mastered it.

After all, this guy was the one who learned a high-rank skill every single day.

Lin Mo spoke calmly:

“Oh, Feng Lao, I mastered it.”

“And accidentally learned two.”

“One single-target high-damage, one mobility-survival skill.”

“Cough, cough!”

Feng Cangqiong froze.

“T-two?”

He forced himself to steady his shock.

“Lin Mo.”

“You’re not joking?”

“You really learned two?”

Lin Mo nodded seriously.

“True, Feng Lao.”

Seeing Lin Mo’s firm expression,

Feng Cangqiong inwardly sighed.

Monster.

This guy is truly a monster!

Feng Cangqiong asked eagerly:

“Lin Mo, tell me—what’s your single-target high-damage skill like? Did you improve it?”

His eyes burned with anticipation.

After all, Lin Mo was the one who turned “Sky-Splitting Wind Blade” into “Sky-Splitting Storm.”

Lin Mo nodded.

“I did make some improvements.”

“The skill is called ‘Heaven-Slicing Wind Blade.’”

“Huh?”

“Heaven-Slicing Wind Blade?”

Feng Cangqiong froze again.

This skill’s name…

Of course!

Another self-created skill!

So Biantai !

Lin Mo nodded.

“But this skill has a special trait.”

"After the wind blade is launched, it wildly consumes external air and wind elements during flight."

“In short, the farther it travels, the larger and more powerful it becomes—growing stronger with the wind.”

With Lin Mo’s words spoken,

Feng Cangqiong’s pupils contracted.

You can do that?

Fuck!

“Fuck…”

Yan Lie swallowed hard.

“The farther the distance, the larger the wind blade, and the greater its power?”

“So if you swing a wind blade from ten kilometers away, by the time it reaches someone’s face, it’s become a hundred-meter-wide cleaver?”

“Exactly.”

Lin Mo nodded seriously.

Feng Cangqiong and Yan Lie both fell silent.

After ten seconds,

“So that’s how it works!”

Feng Cangqiong jumped to his feet, excited.

“So you can actually do it this way!”

“We’ve always thought we had to control the wind element ourselves, to form wind blades by hand—but we ignored the wind’s own freedom and inclusiveness!”

“You actually thought of letting wind devour wind!”

“Using distance to trade for power!”

Feng Cangqiong paced back and forth in the living room, exhilarated.

“A divine technique!”

“This is absolutely the supreme divine technique for long-range sniping!”

“Lin Mo, your thinking has just opened a whole new world for me!”

Watching the Wind Sovereign, speechless with excitement,

Lin Mo smiled awkwardly.

“Lord Wind, you flatter me—it was just a random thought, pure luck.”

Seeing Lin Mo’s casual demeanor,

Yan Lie felt a deep pang of envy.

Worse than eating a hundred lemons.

A random thought?

Pure luck?

Listen to that—does that even sound human?

Then,

Yan Lie asked curiously:

“Hey, Lin Mo.”

“You just said, besides this single-target high-damage move, there’s also a mobility skill?”

“What kind of trick is that one?”

Before he’d finished speaking,

before Lin Mo could reply,

“Shut up!”

Feng Cangqiong snapped coldly.

“Forget the unspoken rule of practitioners?”

“Survival mobility skills—do you just ask about those?”

This blunt reprimand snapped Yan Lie back to his senses.

Right…

Asking about someone’s damage skills is just exchanging techniques.

But asking about someone’s survival trump card?

In the practitioner circle, that’s the biggest taboo of all!

Besides, Lin Mo is currently Adamas Family’s top target.

If someone overhears this,

I’d need ten heads to survive Lord Wind’s blade!

“Hahaha…”

Yan Lie scratched his head, apologetic.

“Lin Mo, sorry—I forgot. I was just curious, nothing else.”

Watching Yan Lie’s nervous expression,

Lin Mo waved his hand.

“It’s fine, fine—we’re all one team.”

Feng Cangqiong glared at Yan Lie and snorted.

“Hmph.”

“Think before you speak and act from now on!”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Yan Lie nodded rapidly.

After scolding Yan Lie,

Feng Cangqiong glanced at the time.

“Alright.”

“Since you’re awake, let’s not waste time in this hotel.”

“Today, your weapon should enter its second stage—injecting elemental keywords.”

Feng Cangqiong looked at Lin Mo, solemnly saying:

“Lin Mo.”

“If this second stage goes smoothly, and nothing goes wrong, you’ll likely get your Forbidden-Class exclusive weapon today.”
