Newcomer?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 sneered: Hmph. So this is the Thunder-element, famed for its single-target burst? Wait—I’m coming back to give you a proper lesson.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 status updated: Returning at full speed】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo frowned and began lecturing Fireball Spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Fire, we’re all family. Is this how you welcome newcomers? What do you mean by ‘give you a lesson’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield』 immediately chimed in: Exactly! Master is right!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield』 looked sweetly at the new Thunder Strike icon: Um… Lei… Lei Third Brother? Hi there. You can call me Little Earth. We’re family now—let’s get along, okay?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 sneered: Family? Hmph. To become my family, you must first earn my approval!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield』 weakly rebutted: Big Brother, that’s not right. Lin Mo is our master. If the master says we’re family, we should obey him…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 roared in fury: Shut up! I’m destined to become a Forbidden Spell! I won’t be family with weaklings!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This family was more troublesome by the member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly appeared lightning icon flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Thunder Strike』: Too noisy.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was cold, dripping with disdain and aloofness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This newcomer’s got some personality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 instantly bristled: What did you say? Impudent! How dare you call me noisy!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 erupted in flames: I am a noble being destined to become a Forbidden Spell! What are you, some new spark? How dare you disrespect me!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Thunder Strike』: Idiot.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』: !!!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 trembled with rage: Good! Good! You dare call me an idiot?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 burned with fury: Today, I’ll show you what true damage output looks like!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Thunder Strike remained silent in response to Fireball Spell’s rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 grew angrier: Why aren’t you talking? So bold just now? Scared?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Earth Shield』 cried: Please stop fighting!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Thunder Strike spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Thunder Strike』: Only the powerless scream like rabid dogs.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fireball Spell exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』: I’m furious! I’m furious! I’ll settle this with you! I’ll prove that in this family, Fire-element is the one true god!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo rubbed his temples, exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These skills really didn’t let him rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, Little Fire. Calm down. You’ve already mastered advanced skills. Little Thunder just arrived—aren’t you picking on him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 paused, finding that reasonable.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 waved its flames magnanimously: I’ll use only my basic Fireball. Deal?】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Lin Mo could nod,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Thunder Strike』 let out a soft scoff: No need.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Thunder Strike』 said calmly: Use your strongest move. Come at me.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Thunder Strike』: The outcome… will be the same.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy’s showing off—full marks!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【『Fireball Spell』 laughed bitterly: Hahahaha! Fine! Very fine! See? So arrogant—I must show him what true skill beyond skill looks like!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright. Let’s go to the backyard. There’s a training post for testing skills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo stood up from the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also quite curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this lightning technique, with its outrageous boastfulness, truly powerful, or just pure showboating?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo walked to the window and glanced out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dull thunder seemed louder now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark clouds loomed overhead, as if about to collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This damn weather feels like rain’s about to pour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s finish this quickly—the backyard is open-air; don’t want to get soaked like a drowned rat.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1036,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6ba41722756d94d4ca543f7ba3d6eb9581bd881775ceca1ca4896880dcb207ff","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-63","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-61",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
