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

After defeating the monsters on this level, a dispute arose between the skills.

[The Earth Shield spell is angry: Dude! What did you do?!]

[The Earth Shield caster, with a tearful voice, accused: That was a level 22 elite monster! How could you let it fly out!]

[Earth Shield Technique's Strong Duty: What if my reaction is even 0.01 seconds slower, Master? That's a serious dereliction of duty! It's malfeasance!]

Faced with his underling's accusations, even the usually arrogant "Fireball Technique" was losing face.

[The Fireball spellcaster, somewhat flustered, glanced around: Cough... It was an accident, purely accidental.]

[Fireball Spell, a desperate attempt to save face: I didn't expect this stone golem to be so thick-skinned. I thought it would be similar to the previous monsters, easily killed by a few blasts.]

[The "Earth Shield" spell wouldn't listen to any explanation: Excuses! All excuses! Do you know how dangerous that was? You just stood there like an idiot! If my master and I hadn't reacted quickly, you'd be crying now!]

Seeing that the two brothers were about to start arguing again, Lin Mo had no choice but to step in once more.

"Alright, everyone, quiet down."

The two skills fell silent instantly, but they still snorted at each other with unwavering defiance.

Lin Mo stroked his chin and analyzed:

"Our biggest weakness right now is the lack of sustained area-of-effect damage methods."

"While the Multi-Explosive Fireball is powerful, its cooldown time is a bit long without cooldown reduction gear."

"If not everyone is killed after the bombing, a vacuum period like the one we just saw will occur."

"If you encounter something that can't fly, that's fine; you can just trap it and wait for the cooldown. But if you encounter something that can fly, that's more difficult."

"As for Fireball and Explosive Spiral Dragon Bullet, they are both single-target damage spells."

At this point, Lin Mo suddenly remembered something and said to the fireball spell:

"Little Fire, I remember there was a mid-tier skill book called [Pillar of Flames] among the skill books I fed you before, right?"

Upon hearing those four words, the icon for "Fireball" trembled slightly.

It didn't remember any books at all. As soon as the book was fed to it, it lost its mind and only remembered that it tasted good.

Seeing the bewildered look on Fireball's face, Lin Mo knew that the guy had been too busy eating.

"Forget it, there's no way I'm going to rely on you for studying."

"Basically, it's about accumulating fire elements on the ground and then unleashing a high-pressure jet of fire, get it?"

Lin Mo said casually.

He didn't know how these skills were achieved either.

But it doesn't matter, let the skill handle the process of understanding it itself.

His job is simply to ask the questions.

Upon hearing this, the "Fireball" spell fell into deep thought: Accumulate fire on the ground? Unleash a pillar of fire?

Although it seemed unreliable, I decided to give the fireball spell a try anyway.

hum-

The Fireball spell forcefully presses a ball of fire elemental energy towards the ground.

"puff……"

It was accompanied by a soft sound, like a fart.

A small cluster of flames shot up from the ground, about thirty centimeters high.

[Failed to comprehend!]

[The Fireball spell instantly became enraged, shrugring its shoulders with self-righteous indignation: "Look, it's not that I didn't try, it's just that it's impossible."]

"..."

Lin Mo shook his head helplessly.

It seems that mastering skills is not as simple as it seems.

at this time,

[Earth Shield Spell user timidly raises hand: Um... big brother, actually, although this ground looks very flat, in my perception, it actually has many tiny pores and textures.]

[The Earth Shield continued in a low voice: "These pores are small, but if we can make good use of them, we can pump them in through these 'pores'..."]

"That's right!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped some key point.

"Little Earth, can you share this perception of yours with Little Fire?"

He looked at the skill panel, a hint of anticipation in his voice.

[The Earth Shield skill paused for a moment, then nodded: It should... be okay, right? We are both our master's skills, our origins are connected.]

[Earth Shield spell turns into Fireball: Bro, shall I try to transfer this feeling to you?]

Although "Fireball" still looked unconvinced, it reluctantly agreed: "Fine, I'll reluctantly experience the world through your eyes."

Om-!

A strange fluctuation rippled through the skill bar.

That is the unique frequency of the earth element, heavy and steady, yet all-encompassing.

Under the influence of this fluctuation, the worldview of "Fireball" seemed to have a new door opened.

[The Fireball spell was shocked: Holy crap? So this is what the floor looks like? So many holes?]

[Congratulations! Your skill "Fireball" has entered an enlightenment state!]

……

Meanwhile, in the VIP room of the monitoring and command center.

Xu Wenchang and his wife Lin Tianhao stared intently at the screen where Lin Mo was.

They had all witnessed Lin Mo's attempt to accumulate fire elements on the ground.

"This kid..."

Xu Wenchang squinted, his hand no longer spinning the walnut. "Is he trying to comprehend the intermediate-level fire skill, [Pillar of Blazing Fire]?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tianhao's eyes lit up, and he was about to speak.

Zhao Lei, standing to the side, turned his head as if he had heard some huge joke.

"Old Xu, aren't you overestimating this kid?"

"You want to master a mid-level skill after only three days of job advancement? Wouldn't you be able to master a forbidden spell a month after changing jobs?"

"Hehe, Lao Zhao, I advise you not to speak too confidently."

Lin Tianhao snorted coldly. Although he was a little nervous, he couldn't lose face, and he had to maintain his momentum.

"Just because others can't do it doesn't mean my son can't. Some things depend on talent, not on when you switch careers."

Zhao Lei was too lazy to waste words with Lin Tianhao and sneered:

"Ha, talent? Don't be ridiculous."

"If he can comprehend the [Pillar of Flames] today, I'll eat this screen right now."

These words resonated powerfully in the monitoring room.

The entire room fell silent instantly.

Xu Wenchang was taken aback for a moment, and was about to say a few words of advice.

"Someone come here!"

Lin Tianhao shouted loudly.

"arrive!"

The adjutant immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Lin Tianhao didn't even glance at Zhao Lei, pointing at the huge screen:

"Prepare wrenches, screwdrivers, and cutting machines."

"Also, go to the canteen and get a bucket of lubricating oil, and prepare two bottles of high-concentration vinegar. I think Commander Zhao might feel a bit choked later and need to soothe his throat."

"yes!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the adjutant immediately carried out the order.

"puff……"

Su Wan covered her mouth, turned her head away, and shrugged her shoulders.

"Old Lin! What are you doing?!"

Xu Wenchang realized what was happening and said, both amused and exasperated, "Nonsense! This is the major exam monitoring center! Lin Tianhao, are you a bandit? You're so quick to jump to conclusions!"

After speaking, Xu Wenchang turned to Zhao Lei and earnestly advised him:

"And you, Lao Zhao, how old are you? Why are you getting angry with a child? How can you just say things like 'eat the screen' like that? Aren't you afraid of breaking your teeth?"

However, Zhao Lei also lost his temper at this moment.

He ignored Xu Wenchang and stared intently at Lin Tianhao:

"Hmph, I, Zhao Lei, am a man of my word! I always keep my promises!"

"But what if you don't manage to grasp it? Lin Tianhao, what will you do then? You should at least show some effort, shouldn't you?"

Lin Tianhao straightened his cuffs.

"Okay."

"If Mo'er doesn't figure it out, I'll just eat this screen."

"Fine! You said it!"

Zhao Lei roared, "A gentleman's word is his bond!"

"What's done is done!"

Lin Tianhao showed no weakness.

The two were like two fighting bulls, about to collide.

Standing in the middle, Xu Wenchang opened his mouth, but could only sigh helplessly in the end.

"What a tragedy..."

He rubbed his throbbing temples and sat back down on the sofa, looking speechless.

"Fine, I'll leave you to your own devices. Eat whatever you want, just don't choke."

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to the big screen.

On the screen, Lin Mo was still sitting there.

Beneath the ground, a faint red light could be seen surging wildly.

"This kid... Old Zhao isn't really going to start the feast, is he?"

Xu Wenchang muttered to himself.
