I’ll take Lin Mo to his.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Teacher Xu.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Qingge nodded obediently and called the three girls to follow her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After watching them leave,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng clapped Lin Mo on the shoulder:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, we’ll talk on the way.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two headed toward the best-positioned Villa No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Mo, what you did during the beast surge on the train was truly impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng adjusted his glasses and sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stepping forward in such a situation and holding the line isn’t just about strength—it’s about character and responsibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If your father knew about this, he’d brag about it for three days straight in the war zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo smiled and replied humbly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Xu, you’re too kind. I just wanted to survive, and everyone else did too—we helped each other out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng shook his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Staying calm in utter desperation—that’s talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking a while, Lin Mo suddenly asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Teacher Xu, that senior just said we have to fight two hundred second-year students at the start of term?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng paused slightly, then chuckled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right. You know about the World Arena, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng’s tone turned serious: “The World Arena is primarily about fighting humans—they set ambushes, launch sneak attacks, use every trick and scheme imaginable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The purpose of this entrance trial is to help you adapt early to the complexity of human conflict.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s how it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But twenty versus two hundred? That’s insane!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For past Dragon Order class students, this trial was pure hell—no freshman class has ever won.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I think this year might break the record.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wiped out entire groups of 30-level elite monsters with War Aura—two hundred upperclassmen? I don’t think they’ll even be enough for you to fight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo let out a light laugh and replied humbly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Xu, you can’t say that—people are alive, elite monsters are just objects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough with the false modesty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng gave him a skeptical look:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excessive humility is arrogance. In the Dragon Order class, when you need to be bold, be bold—have that “none but me” aura of dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they spoke, they reached the front of Villa No. 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a sprawling three-story villa with its own garden and pool, decorated in understated luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he opened the door, Xu Wencheng explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is your home from now on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dedicated staff will clean and launder your clothes daily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The villa has an intelligent system—just call the butler for any personal needs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They entered the grand hall—spacious and bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All furniture and appliances were fully equipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for food,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng pointed toward the school cafeteria, “The school’s exclusive ‘Dragon Abyss Pavilion’ restaurant is open 24\u002F7, free of charge for Dragon Order students.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Order anything you want—as much as you can eat, it’s all on the house.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Mo’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family’s few gluttons each meal would devour at least tens of thousands of Dragon Nation coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he wasn’t short on money, eating like that every day still hurt his wallet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng led Lin Mo to the second-floor terrace and pointed to the mountain range behind the villa district:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“See that mountain? It’s the school’s designated outdoor leveling zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Over there is the Black Thorn Forest—monsters around level 20 to 25.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And over there is Thunderclap Canyon—a level 25 to 30 leveling zone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, Xu Wencheng paused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But outdoor leveling is still inefficient. To level up fast, you need to go to the dungeon center.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed to a massive building on the east side of campus:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It connects to dozens of dungeons of varying levels, but entering requires ‘Space Key Stones.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These stones are rare—ordinary students get only one per week. But you Dragon Order students get three per person per day.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No way—that’s way more!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo’s heart leapt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary students could run one dungeon per week—they could run twenty-one?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is privilege?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng nodded, his tone grave:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If daily limits weren’t a hard cap, we’d give you even more.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dungeons are essentially alternate dimensions. Frequent entry and exit impose heavy mental strain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three times a day is already the absolute limit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Force a fourth entry, and you risk mental collapse—become a vegetable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo nodded, committing it all to memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, that’s the basic picture.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng checked the time. “Gather at the central plaza at nine a.m. the day after tomorrow. Don’t be late.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use these two days to get familiar with the environment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lin Mo suddenly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, Teacher Xu, I plan to go out tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go out?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wencheng blinked. “Where?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To Tianbei City.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo said bluntly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a Temple Dungeon scroll—the activation coordinate is there. I want to clear it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Temple Dungeon?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo didn’t waste words; he directly opened his panel backpack and pulled out the scroll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An orange glow instantly illuminated half the living room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Orange… orange? Is this a Thunderfire Temple?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang stared at the scroll and drew in a sharp breath:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where did you get something like this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dropped by that War Giant.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo shrugged: “I thought it looked good, so I spent thirty million to buy it from the Guard Corps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang looked at Lin Mo with a complex expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty million?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kid really has luck on his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this orange Temple scroll went on the market, people would fight to the death for hundreds of millions!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it’s an orange-level Temple dungeon, it’s definitely worth the trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Tianbei City is still a border region—it might be dangerous there. I’m worried.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, Xu Wenchang made a decision:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, tomorrow I’ll go with you myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo immediately agreed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect! With a powerhouse like Teacher Xu escorting me, I can walk around like a king!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough with the flattery.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang smiled: “Get some rest early. I’ll pick you up tomorrow morning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Xu Wenchang regarded Lin Mo with a meaningful look:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thunder’s fury and flame’s ruthlessness—these two elements are always the hardest to fuse. But once fused successfully, they become the most terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You kid… you’re not planning to surprise me with a “Thunder-Flame Combo Technique” when you come out of the dungeon, are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo shrugged at this:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows? You’ve got to have dreams—what if one comes true?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that happens, I’ll have to mourn for all the second-year students in advance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha! Good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m waiting to see your surprise!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Wenchang laughed heartily, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the door shut, the villa fell silent once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Fireball Spell’ rolled frantically: Hungry! Hungry! Hungry! I’m about to starve to death!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【‘Earth Shield Spell’ also clamored: Master… I’m hungry too! If I don’t eat soon, someone’s going to die!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, alright, I’ll take you out for a feast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Mo sighed and rubbed his temples.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These guys never shut up for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>",1324,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c382b04dbc02503fb83ff4e694ce3a1db5f3f9f7cb0ce1cb697ba6d083d4fe3f","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-89","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-87",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
