I just became a mage, and my skills have become supernatural? What the heck?

Inside the instance.

The Bone Knight was currently embedded in the ruins of the Bone Throne, its shield broken and it in a weakened state.

"Listen to Young Master Lin, strike while the iron is hot! I'll shoot you dead!"

Zhang Kai roared as he drew back his longbow, and arrows rained down on the skeletal knight.

Wang Meng also charged forward with his shield raised, slamming it hard into the skeleton knight's kneecap. Although the damage was not high, the humiliation was extremely strong.

As the A-level water mage in the team, Xia Qingyue took a deep breath and waved her staff.

Streams of azure water condensed into sharp arrows in the air, shooting continuously toward the BOSS.

As for Lin Mo, he continued to eat snacks and watch the show.

The small fireballs went into full-auto killing mode, bombarding the BOSS relentlessly.

Rumble—!

The massive burst of fire from the explosion instantly engulfed the BOSS.

This series of injuries made Zhang Kai and the others' eyelids twitch.

That's what you call output!

Compared to Young Master Lin, they were nothing but tickles!

Under the relentless onslaught of the crowd, the long health bar above the skeletal knight's head decreased at a visible rate.

Soon, his health dropped below 70%.

"roar--!!!"

A furious roar echoed from the ruins.

The skeletal knight swung his greatsword violently, and a terrifying shockwave sent Wang Meng, who was closest to him, flying away.

Then,

That despair-inducing, pale purple, semi-transparent shield once again enveloped its entire body!

"Damn it! Here we go again!"

Upon seeing this, Zhang Kai abruptly turned his head to look at Lin Mo, who was leisurely standing at the back of the group.

Lin Mo didn't waste any words and immediately raised his hand to fire another shot.

Om-!

Dark red light spots rapidly condensed, compressed, and rotated at Lin Mo's fingertips.

"Go on."

Lin Mo lightly tapped his fingertips.

boom--!!!

There is no suspense.

The spiraling dark red line of fire pierced through the purple shield once again.

The shield that had just been formed exploded into a sky full of starlight once again!

The skeletal knight let out a painful roar as its massive body was blasted away once more, crashing heavily against the wall.

"Young Master Lin is awesome! Young Master Lin is invincible!"

Zhang Kai jumped up excitedly, drew his longbow, and continued firing.

Although Xia Qingyue had already witnessed this attack, she still couldn't help but glance at the leisurely Lin Mo.

In the firelight, Lin Mo's figure appeared tall and slender.

His black hair swayed slightly in the heat, and the profile of his face was particularly distinct in the interplay of firelight and shadow, with his sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes.

This unwavering composure in the face of adversity, coupled with his exceptionally handsome face, caused Xia Qingyue, the usually arrogant school beauty, to feel her heart skip a beat.

Is this... the true demeanor of a strong person?

Xia Qingyue's gaze was fixed on Lin Mo's fingertips, which were still emitting wisps of smoke.

As a top student, she knew better than anyone the value of this technique.

Fire... that's widely recognized as the most violent element.

To compress fire element to its extreme while maintaining high-speed rotation...

This move, "Exploding Spiral," is only a beginner-level skill, but its difficulty in mastering is absolutely comparable to that of a high-level skill!

Moreover, the damage from this move is entirely justified by its difficulty.

It is the highest single-target damage beginner skill among all professions, even hidden professions, without exception.

Lin Mo... Young Master Lin, what kind of monster are you?

……

The ensuing battle became a foregone conclusion.

Every time the Skeleton Knight finally managed to build up his shield, before he could even show off, Lin Mo would mercilessly shatter it with a "Fingertip Explosive Spiral Cannon".

After repeating this three times.

The skeletal knight's massive body collapsed with a roar, turning into a pile of withered bones emanating black mist.

[Congratulations! You have successfully defeated "Abyss Skeleton Knight (Lv.5)"!]

[Gained 20000 experience points!]

Congratulations! Your level has increased to Lv.7 (45%)!

A golden upgrade glow shone on Lin Mo.

"We won...we really won..." Liu Weiwei collapsed to the ground, looking at the pile of bones, and wept with joy.

"Hahaha! I'm not dead! I cleared the Abyss dungeon!"

Zhang Kai rushed forward like a madman, hugging Wang Meng and jumping around.

Even Xia Qingyue, who is usually aloof, couldn't help but smile at this moment.

This is an Abyss dungeon!

Although it's only at the difficult level, its value is enough to make it a highlight on their resumes!

"Quick, take a look at what kind of goods were shipped."

Wang Meng pointed to the several orbs of light floating above the skeleton knight's corpse and shouted.

Lin Mo glanced around casually at the dropped equipment and materials, the most valuable of which was a piece of gold-level equipment.

It was just warrior equipment, and gold-level equipment at that, so Lin Mo really didn't care for it.

"You can divide these among yourselves."

Lin Mo pointed to the orbs of light and waved casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Qingyue's voice rang out:

"No!"

She looked at Lin Mo, her face full of seriousness:

"Young Master Lin, this is against the rules."

"First of all, you are the boss, so the loot from the dungeon should rightfully belong to you. Secondly, without you, we wouldn't have been able to clear the dungeon, we would have been dead."

"So, both logically and emotionally, these things belong to you."

Having said that, Xia Qingyue took a deep breath and made a decision:

"Not only can we not keep these spoils, but we will also return the full amount of the commission paid by Uncle Lin after we leave."

"We've already gotten a huge advantage by getting so much experience from you in this dungeon and leveling up twice."

"One should not be too greedy, or one will be punished by heaven."

Zhang Kai, Wang Meng, and the others were all stunned after hearing this.

That's top-tier equipment...

It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted.

But Zhang Kai quickly realized, "The captain is right! Young Master Lin, all of these are yours."

The others also expressed their opinions one after another.

Lin Mo glanced at the group of people, feeling somewhat helpless.

He really has no use for these pieces of scrap metal.

These days, nobody wants money even if you give it to them?

However, since they insisted, Lin Mo was too lazy to say anything more.

"Fine, fine, whatever you want."

Lin Mo waved his hand and collected all the spoils on the ground into his backpack in the panel.

Seeing that Lin Mo accepted it, Xia Qingyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at Lin Mo and casually said:

"Young Master Lin, the big exam is the day after tomorrow. With your current abilities, you should be able to get into the Tianlong Academy in Kyoto."

As Xia Qingyue said this, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

That's the holy land, the supreme academy, the dream of every professional in the entire Dragon Kingdom...

It gathers the nation's top geniuses, and even the security guards at the gate may be retired high-level professionals.

Students who graduate from there are destined for positions like city legion commanders; they are the true backbone of humanity.

Tianlong Academy?

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Whatever, the most important thing is that the accommodation and the food in the cafeteria are good.

The most prestigious universities should all be quite good, right?

Just then, Zhang Kai suddenly interjected:

"Hey, I heard that Jianghai City really went all out this time, preparing a complete heart of a lava behemoth as a reward for the city's top scorer!"

"The complete heart of a lava behemoth?!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Meng's hand trembled, and he gasped, "Hiss... This is really a huge price to pay. Lava behemoths are already rare, and even a slice of their meat is being sold at exorbitant prices... and they're practically priceless."

[Fireball: !!!]

[The user's mouth watered uncontrollably: "I want it! I want that! The Lava Behemoth is exactly what I love to eat, and it's always in high demand!"]

Lin Mo touched his chin.

Although my family is wealthy, there are some things in this world that money can't buy.

After all, it's not like his family is the only one with money.

[Fireball Technique's extreme greed: Did you hear that? I want this! I want this! If I eat this, I'll definitely be one step closer to the forbidden spell!]

Lin Mo chuckled, deliberately provoking this irritable skill.

"You want it?"

"If you want it, just call me 'Dad.' Then I'll reluctantly go and bring that top scholar back."

[The "Fireball" spell instantly exploded: Insolence! How dare you! I am a noble being destined to become a forbidden spell! You expect me to call you father?]

"Oh, I see."

Lin Mo shrugged indifferently to himself, "Fine then. I was too lazy to do anything anyway, so I'll just coast through this big exam. It doesn't matter which university I go to."

"What a waste of that heart! I heard it's full of fire element essence, and it'd burst with juice if you bit into it, tsk tsk tsk..."

The "Fireball" spell fell silent.

The "Fireball" spell swallowed a non-existent mouthful of saliva. Its dignity was trembling violently before the delicious noodles.

A few seconds later.

An extremely awkward voice echoed in Lin Mo's mind:

[Fireball spell, extremely unwilling and ashamed: ...Dad...Dad.]

"Speak louder, haven't you eaten? I can't hear you."

Lin Mo pressed his advantage.

[The "Fireball" spell, enraged: That's enough! I already yelled for it!]

"Alright."

Lin Mo was too lazy to tease the little fireball anymore, and waved to everyone: "Let's go, everyone. Sister Ye is probably falling asleep waiting. Let's go out."
