Still reading those online novels?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang’s face flushed red as he let out a dry laugh:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough… it’s just my little nephew’s been obsessed with them lately, so I flipped through a few pages… you know, some of them are actually pretty thrilling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think you’ve read too many of those nonsense stories. Stop wasting time on them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao rolled his eyes at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t blame me for thinking crazy things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang shook his head, tone filled with disbelief. “Who in their right mind masters two mid-tier skills in a single day at this level and this stage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his old classmate’s words, Lin Tianhao’s pride could no longer be hidden:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Xu, you know skills depend entirely on insight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Some people’s enlightenment is like constipation—ten days, half a month, not a single fart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Mo is the opposite… it’s a full-blown flood, impossible to stop—what’s wrong with that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft… enough, you’re getting weirder and weirder. Don’t you find it disgusting?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan couldn’t help laughing, shooting him a glare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even though the metaphor is disgusting…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan paused, then a trace of unmistakable pride surfaced on her face. “But the logic holds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang let out a helpless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his gaze back to the screen, where Lin Mo was wandering around hunting monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having served as an admissions officer for Longxu Class for so many years, he’d seen countless geniuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But never before had he seen someone like Lin Mo—skill after skill emerging one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never having happened before doesn’t mean it’s impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t history made to be broken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this kid really can forge a path no one has ever walked before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Xu Wenchang’s gaze grew even more admiring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Tianhao’s smug voice rang out again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old Xu, what do you say? Is my Mo the top dog of this year’s cohort for Longxu Class?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang chuckled lightly, then looked at Lin Tianhao with deep meaning. “Old Lin, in Jianghai City, your son Lin Mo is unquestionably the top—but…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang paused, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This year’s prodigies are no ordinary lot. We’ve internally dubbed this year ‘The Year of Divine Descent.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Is this year really that intense?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang nodded, his expression grave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me put it this way: this year, there’s one Spatial Mage, one Light Knight, and twelve SSS-tier geniuses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And nearly all of them mastered mid-tier skills before the major exam.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao sucked in a sharp breath. “Looks like the intensity really is high…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Light and Spatial are rarer than even SSS-tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of them appearing in the same year?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So even though Lin Mo is a monster, holding onto the top spot in this divine war is going to be tough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao fell silent for a moment, then burst out laughing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect. If there’s no challenge, what’s the fun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Divine Descent, huh? Then let’s slaughter the gods!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang was swept up by his boldness and laughed heartily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine! I’ll be watching closely—let’s see if this Lin Mo with zero elemental affinity can truly slaughter the gods.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Lin Tianhao locked his gaze on Zhao Lei, who was sneaking toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Old Zhao, where are you rushing off to?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei froze, his steps halting abruptly as he stood with his back to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, he turned around, forcing a face more miserable than crying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough… can’t I just go to the bathroom?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao rose slowly, adjusting his collar:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bathroom? Sure—who’s going to stop Commander Zhao from taking a dump or letting one rip?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But first… hand over that gear. I’m afraid you’ll use the bathroom as an excuse to run off and dodge your bet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dodge my bet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei exploded:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Tianhao, don’t you dare slander me! I, Zhao Lei, keep my word—winner takes all!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a flash of light appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A set of mage armor glowing with an orange-yellow aura materialized in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Phantom Spirit Set (Legendary）】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the gear in his hands, Zhao Lei felt his heart bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d spent tens of millions of Dragon Nation credits, exhausted every connection, called in countless favors, and spent over half a year to collect this set!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least he’d kept it a secret from his son, planning to surprise him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If little Yu found out his father had lost this divine gear to Lin Tianhao, who’d then put it on Lin Mo…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei couldn’t bear to imagine the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared his son would choke on the shock and drop dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… Old Lin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei made one final plea, his tone softening. “Can we make a deal? Swap it for cash? Fifty million Dragon Nation credits! I’ll keep the gear—what do you say?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can we make a deal? Can you swap it for cash? Fifty million! I’ll give you fifty million Dragon Nation dollars, and I keep the gear—what do you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao refused without hesitation. “Money? I’ve got plenty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this gear? It’s priceless—and perfect for my Mo to use temporarily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Lei took a deep breath, calmed himself, and finally tossed the gear to Lin Tianhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, take it, take it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao caught it, hefted it in his hand, and grinned like a fox:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao snatched up the gear, hefted it in his hand, and grinned like a scheming fox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When my Mo finds out you gave him this gear, he’ll be moved to tears.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll have him write you a thank-you letter and send you a golden banner—how’s that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll have him write you a personal thank-you letter and send you a silk banner—how’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Lei could take no more—he roared and stormed out of the monitoring room with his aide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang chuckled softly and shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Lin Tianhao, his expression slightly more serious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I should go—I need to report back to the elders.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, a mage with zero elemental affinity showing this kind of talent… this is far too unusual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao nodded, offering no resistance. “Go ahead. When Mo gets to Beijing, you’ll have to look out for him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao nodded without trying to keep him: \"Alright, go take care of your business first; when Mo'er gets to the capital, you'll have to look out for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, do you really think I need to tell you that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang waved his hand and strode out of the monitoring room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xu Wenchang’s departure, Lin Tianhao gently wrapped his arm around Su Wan’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wife, the big exam is almost over—shall we head to the exam site to pick up our Top Graduate son and bring him home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>",1282,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","0f62401ff1da1d33e7198ae3ff8e31edda27795baad087cc217d0a1f9a5f46ca","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-61","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-59",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
