Chapter 362: Everyone Follow Little Earth!

Watching Little Fire continue to increase its output.

Lin Mo’s forehead darkened with exasperation.

He glanced at the wildly oscillating needle of the balance gauge.

He was speechless inside.

The progress bar had indeed filled effortlessly.

But now the problem was, this five-element balance simply couldn’t be maintained…

The five elements acted independently.

There was zero coordination—how could this possibly be balanced?

This can’t go on!

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

“Hey hey hey.”

“Is now the time for you all to compete against each other?”

“Have you all forgotten? I need you to balance each other!”

Hearing their master’s reprimand,

Earth Shield Technique was the first to react.

【“Exactly!”】

【“Master is right!”】

【“We must unite! No more pointless competition!”】

Earth Shield Technique loudly scolded Fireball Technique:

【“Big Brother! Did you hear that?”】

【“It’s all your fault—you led everyone astray! Can’t you tone it down?!”】

Hearing his younger brother’s accusation,

Fireball Technique, who had been ready to retort, remembered this was what the master demanded, and swallowed his words.

Fireball Technique sneered.

【“What a hassle.”】

【“Now I have to suppress my own power just to accommodate you weaklings.”】

…

At this moment,

Behind the Starfire Furnace, ten meters away,

Xiao Li stared at the wildly fluctuating progress bar and the balance gauge showing no sign of stabilization.

He couldn’t help laughing.

“Hahahaha…”

Xiao Li shook his head and looked toward Jiang Yunshang standing not far off.

“Sister Jiang, I told you.”

“Even if Lin Mo really is a monster who can instantly max out control over all five elements, so what?”

“To achieve perfect balance while managing five things at once?”

“That’s simply impossible!”

Xiao Li chuckled lightly, putting on a magnanimous air as he spoke to Jiang Yunshang:

“How about this?”

“If you concede now, I’ll give you a discount.”

“Just work forty free jobs for me—how’s that?”

After all,

They were all fellow disciples.

This would give her a face-saving exit, so no one would be embarrassed later.

But Xiao Li didn’t expect:

Jiang Yunshang turned her head and gave him a cold glance.

“It’s only just begun—why the rush?”

Hearing this reply,

Xiao Li’s smile froze, then turned into a cold sneer.

“Fine, fine, fine.”

“Then, Sister Jiang, get ready to work for me for a full year—for free.”

…

Lin Mo stood before the Starfire Furnace.

He watched the progress bar wildly fluctuating as the techniques began to balance each other.

And the balance gauge still swaying erratically.

“This won’t work…”

Lin Mo thought.

Someone had to set the standard—everyone else must follow it.

“Little Earth!”

Lin Mo shouted inwardly.

Suddenly called out, Earth Shield Technique froze.

【“Yes, Master! What’s your order?”】

Lin Mo swiftly issued his command:

“From now on, you lead.”

“Open your perception sharing.”

“Little Fire, Little Ice, Little Thunder, Little Wind—you four, link directly to Little Earth’s elemental perception.”

“Adjust yourselves to match Little Earth’s level exactly.”

Perception sharing.

This ability, Lin Mo had tried before in actual combat.

Now, it was perfectly suited for this situation.

Hearing Lin Mo’s arrangement,

Earth Shield Technique blinked in surprise.

【“Huh?”】

【“Me?”】

【“I lead?”】

Meanwhile,

Fireball Technique, who had always considered himself the family’s eldest, instantly rebelled.

【“Why?!”】

"I'm the head of this family! If anyone's leading, it should be me!"

【“You want me to follow it? Does it even deserve that?!”】

Facing Fireball Technique’s protest,

Lin Mo had anticipated this and explained:

“Little Earth’s power is already sufficient to fill the progress bar.”

“What we need now is balance—not who deals more damage.”

“You’re too impulsive—if you surge again, how will the others keep up?”

Yet,

Fireball Technique still felt humiliated.

【“No way!”】

【“This concerns my dignity!”】

【“I will never bow to my younger brother…”】

“Shut up!”

Seeing gentle words failed, Lin Mo snapped in anger.

“Don’t you want to eat anymore?”

At these words,

Fireball Technique, who had just been so arrogant, instantly fell silent.

【“Uh…”】

【“I was just making a suggestion…”】

【“Since the master says so, I’ll reluctantly cooperate with it this once.”】

“Pfft.”

Lin Mo snorted.

Easy win.

Got the troublemaker, Little Fire.

“Lightning Strike” has no objections.

“Ice Spike” let out a soft huff.

【“Whatever the Master says, it’s fine~”】

【“This young lady listens to the Master best of all~”】

“Good.”

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

“Little Earth, start sharing!”

“Everyone, align!”

【“Got it, Master!”】

“Earth Shield” nodded heavily.

The next second.

The other skills instantly connected to “Earth Dash.”

Above the Starfire Furnace.

The five elemental forces, previously crashing and intertwining chaotically, seemed to find their core and began adjusting toward the Earth element.

The progress bar kept shifting left and right.

Watching the balance indicator gradually calm down.

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction.

“Yes, just like that.”

“Hold it.”

Suddenly.

The Fire element’s progress bar surged again to the right.

Lin Mo frowned.

“Little Fire, you’re the only one always trying to surge upward—what’s that mean?”

Called out by Lin Mo.

“Fireball” pouted.

【“Hmph…”】

【“I understand.”】

……

Not far behind them.

Mo Qianjun’s five disciples fell into silence.

Han Shuang nudged Jiang Yunshang’s arm.

“Senior sister…”

“It seems… like it might be balancing?”

“My heavens!”

"Could it really produce a perfect five-element entry?"

"Senior sister, that's a perfect entry!"

"It's not just a simple stat boost—a perfect entry changes the underlying mechanics!"

Han Shuang grew more excited as she spoke.

“Mechanics changes for all five elements?”

“What could they possibly be? I can’t even imagine…”

Listening to Han Shuang’s excited words,

Jiang Yunshang said nothing, tilting her chin slightly as she glanced at Xiao Li not far away.

Xiao Li, seeing Jiang Yunshang’s defiant expression, snorted coldly.

“Senior sister Jiang, it’s only just begun—why the rush?”

"To produce a perfect five-element entry, you must maintain perfect balance among all five elements for sixty seconds."

“Besides, it’s not even fully balanced yet.”

“Right now, it’s still far from it.”
