Where’s the priest? Help! Quick, help me…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My leg’s broken, waaah—priest, come quickly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The square was filled with wailing sufferers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than half the candidates were trapped in soul protection mode, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest who hadn’t been eliminated weren’t much better—nearly all were in utter disarray.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Lin Mo stood out among the crowd, utterly out of place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a wealthy young master who’d just returned from vacation slipping into a group of refugees fleeing disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The priest team, already on standby at the perimeter, descended like celestial white-robed angels, rushing urgently into the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, gentle healing holy lights flared up, beginning emergency treatment for the injured candidates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously pitiful cries gradually subsided under the soothing glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phase Two of the exam is over. Announcing final scores!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the high platform, Zhang Tiejun’s authoritative voice rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First place: Lin Mo! Total score: 12,880!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, the entire square fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t because the score was absurdly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rather, most of the candidates had witnessed Lin Mo’s terrifying power firsthand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That towering pillar of fire, that incredible micro-management, that invincible magma fist…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of those scenes, even now recalled, still sent chills down their spines and made their legs go weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Shao is awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone in the crowd broke the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the square erupted in cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So strong… I was right there in the black mud swamp—I saw Lin Shao, that mage, one punch obliterate a tank!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoa… one-punch mage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Shao’s ranged skills are the real deal—mass control plus that insane fire pillar—I just got grazed and nearly lost half my life…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s a gap? This is a gap! Lin Shao is the face of Jianghai City!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Aren’t you all from Zhao Shao’s side? You change sides so fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We… we were just blinded by Zhao Shao’s money. From now on, I swear loyalty to Lin Shao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo remained expressionless, ignoring the surrounding chatter and praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept the crowd, quickly settling on a few familiar figures at the square’s edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father Lin Tianhao and mother Su Wan stood at the front, followed by Ye Hongyu, Shitou, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elders’ smiles shone brightly, like blooming chrysanthemums.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s lips curled slightly upward as he walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he approached, Shitou couldn’t help blurting out, “No wonder you’re our Young Master—you’ve made us so proud!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hongyu’s eyes were filled with admiration: “Congratulations, Young Master, on becoming city Top Graduate. This battle was won brilliantly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand: “Just basic ops. I owe it all to Brother Shitou and Sister Ye for training me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan stepped forward and adjusted Lin Mo’s collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo’er, I’m so proud of you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Su Wan’s eyes grew slightly red, her voice trembling: “You must’ve been exhausted these past few days. Look—you’ve lost weight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s heart warmed. Seeing his mother’s worried gaze, he deliberately showed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, this is called fit and toned. Look—my abs are almost visible. Don’t worry, your son isn’t tired at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last part was actually true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really hadn’t been tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These past few days, he’d either just slept in a new place or wandered around for walks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! Good boy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao strode over laughing and slapped Lin Mo on the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done! Now I want to see who dares call my son Lin Tianhao’s worthless whiteboard mage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mo’er, I’ve already sent someone to process your city Top Graduate reward. It’ll be delivered to our home soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That item will greatly help you master fire skills. With your talent, once you consume it, you should unlock a new fire skill soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【The exhausted ‘Fireball’ instantly sat up, drooling furiously: Quick, quick, I want to eat it! After eating this, I feel I’m one step closer to a forbidden spell!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thanks, Dad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao grinned mysteriously, flipping his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A set of equipment emitting orange luminescence appeared in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the [Phantom Spirit Set], legendary quality, level 20 wearable. Not only does it grant high stat bonuses, but most importantly—it’s an extremely rare cooldown-reduction set. The full set reduces cooldowns by 65%. It’s yours now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s eyes lit up, and he quickly took it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excellent gear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His previous Purple Cloud Set, though also top-tier and a cooldown-reduction set, was too low-level—its stats were already outdated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just been worrying about how to get a proper set, and now his father had delivered one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, only a father is truly good in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about it? Like it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao asked with a sly grin: “You know where this came from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao feigned mystery and asked, “Do you know where this came from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This question…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were bought, his father wouldn’t have said it like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing his father’s nature, it was almost certainly not obtained through legitimate means.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and probed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Zhao Lei lose this to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianhao burst out laughing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! No one knows a father better than his son!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right! I won it from that old bastard Zhao Lei!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t know—he spent over half a year crafting this level-20 divine set specifically for his son Zhao Yu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now it’s in your hands. We really ought to thank Uncle Zhao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo chuckled upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhao Yu knew the legendary gear he was wearing had been won by his own father from Lin Mo, he’d probably faint on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This father-son duo were truly kind—giving both points and gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, enough—you two stop acting like you’ve got the upper hand while pretending to be humble.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Wan laughed, interrupting the father-son exchange: “Mo’er, are you hungry? Let’s go home! I’ve already ordered the kitchen to prepare a victory banquet—plenty of hearty dishes, all you can eat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the word “eat,” the skills instantly came alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball’ drooled, flames flickering wildly: Full and satisfied—perfect time to level up!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball’ bounced excitedly on the skill panel: What a perfect day! Let’s clear the nearby wilderness and aim to hit level 20 today!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Earth Shield’ weakly protested from the side: Big bro… aren’t you tired?

You vastly underestimate me! Just wait and see—I’ll make you level up tonight!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Fireball Spell shot straight out the window and vanished into the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield Spell』glanced out the window, then promptly curled into a ball: Brother’s energy is insane… I’ll just sleep.
