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

[Fireball, looking grumpy from the moment he woke up: What the hell is that noise? You woke me up!]

The Fireball icon on the panel trembled slightly.

[Fireball spell: Looking around furiously: Who's causing trouble? Show yourself!]

Before Lin Mo could even comfort him...

[Earth Shield Technique: Terrified! Master, be careful! There's a strange noise, and an enemy!]

"..."

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, "Xiao Tu, that's your older brother. He used Fireball. He's one of us, it's alright."

Upon hearing this, the tense nerves of [Earth Shield] relaxed slightly.

[Earth Shield Technique breathed a sigh of relief: That scared me to death... It was my older brother!]

The Fireball spell finally realized what was happening, eyeing its new subordinate with suspicion: "Hmm? I have a subordinate now? When did this happen?"

Before it could figure out what was going on, the little fireball's non-existent nose twitched twice, as it was extremely sensitive to fire elements.

[Fireball Spell frowned: Wait, why is there a faint smell of fire element in the air?]

[Fireball Spell stared blankly at the wall in front of him: What is this thing? Why is there a mountain in front of me?]

Lin Mo patiently explained:

"Someone just tested the waters with a small fireball. It was made by your new underling to block skills."

Upon hearing this, [Fireball] remained silent for three seconds before revealing a look of disdain.

[Fireball Spell scoffed: "With so little fire element, you're making such a huge wall to block it?"]

[Fireball Technique's face was full of disdain: To be so scared by this trash? If word gets out, not only will my underlings be terrified, but I, too, will lose face. A true powerhouse doesn't need such a turtle shell.]

[Earth Shield Technique weakly retorts: Um... safety first, right? What if I accidentally hurt a single hair on my master's head? I don't think I did anything wrong.]

[Fireball rolled its eyes: Come on, a coward is a coward, don't make excuses. I wouldn't even bother with an attack of this level; only a spineless coward like you would make such a fuss.]

[Earth Shield Mage muttered to himself: I never admitted to being your little brother... I only have one big brother, and that's my master. Just a reckless fool...]

[Fireball's eyes turned cold: What did you say? Say it again if you dare!]

[Earth Shield, neck stiff: I say, Master is the coolest!]

"Alright, all of you, shut up."

Lin Mo listened to the two skills arguing and felt a headache coming on. "Little Fire, if you keep arguing, the Fire Dragon Meat is canceled tonight."

Upon hearing this, the fireball icon flashed a few times and then fell silent.

It's that trick again, how despicable!

The Fireball spell felt humiliated. It was destined to be a forbidden and noble spell, yet now it was subjugated by this piece of flesh—a truly disgraceful act!

The Fireball spell was indignant. If it weren't for its lack of a mouth, why would it be subject to such control? When would this life of dependence end?

[Fireball status update: Mute enabled]

Seeing his older brother suddenly quiet down, [Earth Shield] immediately felt that he had chosen the right person to follow.

[The Earth Shield spell looked on with adoration: "As expected, Master is truly amazing! One sentence was all it took to completely subdue that brute."]

Seeing the fireball spell finally quiet down, Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

The world is finally quiet.

"Young Master, Young Master?"

At that moment, Stone's voice came from behind the wall, "Are you... alright?"

Lin Mo dusted himself off, emerged from behind the earthen wall, and appeared completely calm.

"It's okay, Brother Stone controlled that fireball spell really well, it didn't hurt me at all."

Outside the earthen wall, all was deathly silent.

Ah Hu, Shi Tou, and Ye Hongyu were examining the earthen wall in front of them.

"Goodness..."

Ah Hu reached out and touched the rough, thick earthen wall.

It was icy to the touch and shockingly hard.

"Stone, tell me the truth."

Ah Hu turned to look at the stone beside him, "How long did it take you to learn this skill?"

Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Stone's face.

If this were before today, he would have proudly stated that he had successfully mastered the skill just five days after changing jobs and after consuming a skill book.

but now……

Stone was a little embarrassed, and his voice was so soft it was like a mosquito's buzz: "Five...five days, plus the help of a skill book called [Earth Flow Wall]."

Upon hearing this answer, Ah Hu and Ye Hongyu did not show the slightest hint of mockery.

They all knew very well that mastering a basic skill in five days was already a very fast pace for an S-level elemental affinity.

An S-level genius used it for five days and still needed to consume skill books.

But what about Lin Mo, this "blank slate" young master?

From receiving the most basic skill book, Earth Shield, to unleashing this Wall of Sighs, it only took about five minutes, at most.

He managed to figure out advanced skills using only a basic skills book!

This isn't just a difference in talent, it's practically a difference in species!

"Young Master..."

Stone took a deep breath, walked to the earthen wall, and knocked on it a few times.

"This is the basic earth-type skill, Earth Flow Wall. Moreover, judging from its structure, it is released perfectly and can completely block attacks from professionals 10 levels higher than you."

Looking at this near-perfect "earthflow wall," Stone couldn't help but murmur:

"Young Master, with this power to command and control the earth element, I would believe you even if you told me you were the illegitimate son of the Earth God..."

Upon hearing this, Ah Hu and Ye Hongyu, who were standing to the side, not only did not refute it, but nodded in strong agreement.

Last night he was the reincarnation of the god of fire; today he is the child of the earth.

Case solved.

The young master is most likely their illegitimate child.

Faced with the three men's gazes, Lin Mo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Ahem... Brother Stone, you can't say things like that, my dad's still at home."

Stone was taken aback by what he heard, then quickly waved his hand and chuckled awkwardly:

"Young master, please don't take it seriously. I was just joking, purely a joke!"

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly changed the subject, and said seriously:

"However, young master, this level of defensive skill, while tough, also consumes a great deal of mental energy."

Stone pointed to the giant wall and earnestly suggested:

"When facing ordinary attacks, the basic [Earth Shield] spell is perfectly sufficient. Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Don't you agree?"

"That makes sense, Brother Stone is right. I'll be more careful next time and use it sparingly."

Lin Mo nodded.

Although this skill didn't consume his mental energy, since he wasn't the one who used it.

Seeing that Lin Mo listened to his advice, Shi Tou nodded with satisfaction.

Just then.

hum-

Ye Hongyu's pocket vibrated slightly. She took out her phone and glanced at it, her brows immediately furrowing.

"What's wrong, Captain Ye?"

Ah Hu keenly sensed the captain's change in mood and put away his silly grin.

Stone also came over, looking nervous.

Ye Hongyu stared at the screen and said in a deep voice:

"Just received news that a large number of monsters are gathering in 'Sunset Canyon,' which is... a sign of a monster tide."

"What?! A monster tide?!"
