We’re both 18—how is the gap so huge?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man beside him, wearing glasses, replied coolly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, you’re overthinking it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Dragon Sequence Class is full of monsters, but I’d bet my life that even among them, this guy is the king of monsters!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Level 20… who the hell can land such a devastating combo at level 20? Most level-20 players barely have three basic skills.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How many skills has this monster used? At least two of them are intermediate skills!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, my uncle’s a level-40 fire mage—I feel like he’d be nothing but a lackey in front of this guy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the carriage, murmurs rose and fell like waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, someone realized and frantically pulled out their phone to record this stunning scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some even started live-streaming on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fam! I’m done pretending—I’m spilling the tea! I got attacked on the magic train… but we also met a god!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Send rockets! Cheer on our Dragon Sequence Class student!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo hovered high in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his previous burst had cleared the surrounding demons, the beast tide surged again like an endless black tsunami.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, all of you—let’s see how many levels I can gain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he wore the [Phantom Spirit Set], its 65% cooldown reduction now fully evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time the demons reached his side, the cooldowns were already reset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Tu, Xiao Hu—you handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo became a hands-off boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before these sentient skills, his own micro-management might be worse than their self-action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just needed to look cool—the rest was up to the skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Earth Shield Art’ immediately obeyed: Don’t worry, Master! I won’t let them get within a step of you!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball Art’ thrilled: Louyimen , dare you approach? Let this storm of flame be your funeral! Die, you bastards!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Quicksand Domain expanded again, instantly immobilizing the ground demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, countless fire skills rained down like they cost nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball Art’ laughed wildly: Hahaha! Line up! One by one, come die!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just after Lin Mo cleared another wave of monsters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>several figures dashed toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, I’m here to help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao brandished a silver spear, icy aura swirling around her, long hair flying like a female war goddess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind her, Chu Lingxuan gripped a massive sword and a shield taller than herself, staying close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Lin, I’ll protect you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengqing also swung her staff, shouting as she ran over:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo! Brother Lin Mo! I’m here too! I’m here to help!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing these three classmates rushing to support him, Lin Mo did not refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Lin Mo followed one principle: if you can win by lounging, don’t solo; if you can gang up, never fight alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s called efficient resource use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four quickly converged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lingxuan raised her massive shield at the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though petite, her shield radiated an unshakable, mountain-still stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sisters, Han Mengyao and Han Mengqing, stood on either side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo hovered behind them, serving as the team’s core damage dealer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that moment, a temporary yet utterly luxurious squad—the strongest level-20 team in Longguo—took shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar—!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demons’ roars rose into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, their aura was clearly fiercer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two previous waves Lin Mo had cleared were both level-25.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wave? All level-30 demons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten levels higher than Lin Mo and his team!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these demons glowed with red light granted by the War Giant—stats skyrocketed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out! This wave is strong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao’s eyes sharpened, her grip tightening on her spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I can hold!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Lingxuan cried out, slamming her shield hard into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Holy Protection!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thick golden barrier instantly enveloped all four, with special focus on Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo, watching the faintly shimmering golden shield around him, felt more at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure, previous demons couldn’t break his defense,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but under Han Mengqing’s buffs, the pain was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, this shield looked solid—it should block plenty of attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the proper output environment for a mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, Han Mengqing wasn’t about to be outdone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch my buff—taking life to C!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blood-red light shot instantly toward Lin Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo, midair, staggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the hell kind of skill name is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of skills has this girl mastered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo glanced at his status bar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Taking Life to C: All damage increased by 30%, skill cooldown reduced by 10%, lose 2% max HP per second!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the second half, Lin Mo’s scalp prickled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly aptly named—taking life to C!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing 2% HP per second?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty-second man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Han Mengqing had already cast him a powerful healing buff, perfectly offsetting the HP-drain debuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So these two skills are a pair…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo muttered inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the beast tide drew near,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Attack!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s gaze hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Earth Shield Art’: Received!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Quicksand Domain spread instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The front-line Ironclad Rhinos stumbled, sinking into the quicksand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Fire, clear the area!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive fire tornado erupted at the center of the beast tide, swallowing countless demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, countless red circles glowed across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More than twenty pillars of fire shot skyward, engulfing the demons trapped in quicksand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron-armored demon rhinos had not fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demons before him were nearly all level 30—nine levels higher than Lin Mo!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Added to that, the War Giant’s aura boosted their health and defense to terrifying levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron-armored demon rhinos thrashed wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The level gap drastically reduced the effectiveness of control effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were about to break free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Absolute Zero Domain!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Mengyao gripped her spear with both hands and slammed its butt hard into the ground!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CRACK—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the spear’s tip, icy blue energy exploded outward in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The demon rhinos, just pulling one leg free from the quicksand, were instantly frozen solid by the chilling force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard ice crystals surged wildly up their limbs, turning them into ice statues in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The control chain was perfectly sustained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Han Mengyao’s follow-up control, his own skills would have been on cooldown—his formation might have collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this what the water element’s most unique branch is called—the ice element, famed as the strongest controller?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only when one’s understanding of water elements reaches the pinnacle can it be mastered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps when I hit level 30, I can learn a water-based skill to strengthen my control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those few seconds of control, under the dual boost of gear and buffs, Lin Mo’s skill cooldowns…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were ready!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Little Fire, send them to hell!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【“Fireball” had been itching to strike: KILL THEM ALL!!!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM—!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new wave of firepower rained down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice statues shattered under the flames; despite their high health, the level-30 common demons couldn’t withstand Lin Mo’s twin waves of devastating bombardment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the world fell silent again.\u003C\u002Fp>",1242,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
