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

The big exam is officially over.

In the center of the plaza, a massive teleportation array began to flash, and a blinding white light shot into the sky.

After the light faded, hundreds of figures appeared out of thin air on the square.

"Ouch... my back..."

"Pastor! Where is the pastor? Help, please help me..."

"My leg is broken! Waaah! Priest, come quick!"

The square was filled with cries of despair.

Most of the test takers were trapped in a state of spiritual refuge, unable to move.

Those who weren't eliminated weren't much better off; they were almost all in a terrible state.

Lin Mo, however, stood out from the crowd.

It's like a rich young master who just returned from a vacation sneaking into a group of refugees who had just fled.

at this time,

The team of pastors, who had been waiting on the perimeter, rushed into the arena like angels in white.

Soft, healing light shone forth, beginning to provide emergency treatment to the injured examinees.

The originally pitiful wails gradually subsided under the soothing light.

"The second phase of the assessment is complete. The final results are now being announced!"

On the high platform, Zhang Tiejun's authoritative voice rang out once again.

"First place: Lin Mo! Total points: 12880!"

The room fell silent as soon as he said that.

It's not because the score is particularly outrageous.

Rather, it was because most of the examinees present had witnessed Lin Mo's terrifying strength firsthand.

That towering pillar of fire, that incredible micro-management, that invincible magma fist...

Even now, recalling those scenes still sends chills down their spines and makes their legs go weak.

"Young Master Lin is awesome!"

Someone in the crowd broke the silence.

The next second, the square erupted in cheers.

"That's too strong... I was in the Black Mud Swamp at the time, and I saw Lin Shao, this mage, kill a tank with a single punch."

"Hiss... A One-Punch Mage?"

"Young Master Lin's ranged attacks are amazing, right? The wide-area crowd control combined with that insanely damaging fire pillar... I only got a graze, and I'm almost half dead..."

"What do you mean by a fault line? This is a fault line! Young Master Lin is the face of Jianghai City!"

"Aren't you all on Young Master Zhao's side? You change your tune so quickly."

"We...we were blinded by Young Master Zhao's money. From this moment on, I swear to be loyal to Young Master Lin to the death!"

Lin Mo remained calm, ignoring the surrounding discussions and praise.

His gaze swept around and quickly landed on the familiar figures on the outskirts of the square.

Dad Lin Tianhao and Mom Su Wan were standing at the front, followed by Ye Hongyu, Shi Tou and others.

The smiles on the two elders' faces were as radiant as blooming chrysanthemums.

Lin Mo smiled slightly and walked over.

"Young Master!"

As soon as they approached, Shi Tou couldn't help but speak first, "As expected of our young master, he really makes us proud!"

Ye Hongyu's eyes were also full of admiration: "Congratulations, young master, on winning the city's top scorer title. You won beautifully."

Lin Mo waved his hand with a smile: "It's just basic stuff. I have to thank Brother Shi and Sister Ye for helping me level up."

At this moment,

Su Wan stepped forward and straightened Lin Mo's collar.

"Mo'er, Mom is so proud of you..."

At this point, Su Wan's eyes reddened slightly, and her voice choked a little: "You must be exhausted these past few days. Look, you've even lost weight."

Lin Mo felt a warmth in his heart. Seeing the pained look in his mother's eyes, he deliberately showed off.

"Mom, this is called being fit and strong, okay? Look, my abs are almost showing. Don't worry, your son isn't tired at all."

Lin Mo was telling the truth in the last sentence.

I wasn't really that tired.

These past few days, I've either been sleeping in different places or wandering around for walks.

"Hahaha! Good lad!"

Lin Tianhao walked over laughing and slapped Lin Mo on the shoulder.

"Well done! Now let's see who dares to say that my son, Lin Tianhao's son, is a useless, blank-slate mage!"

"Mo'er, I've already had the paperwork done for the city's top scholar award. It will be delivered to our house soon."

"That thing will greatly help you learn fire-type skills. With your aptitude, as long as you consume it, you should be able to learn new fire-type skills very quickly."

The exhausted "Fireball" instantly sat up, drooling uncontrollably: "Quick, quick, I want to eat it! Eating it will bring me one step closer to a forbidden spell!"

"Thanks, Dad."

Lin Mo smiled and replied.

"This is nothing!"

Lin Tianhao smiled mysteriously and flipped his wrist.

A set of equipment radiating an orange glow appeared in his hand.

"This is the [Phantom Spirit Set], a legendary quality set that can be worn at level 20. Not only does it offer high stat bonuses, but most importantly, it's an extremely rare cooldown reduction set. A complete set can reduce cooldown by 65%. It's yours now."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he quickly took it.

This is great stuff!

The previous Purple Cloud set, although also a top-tier set, was also a cooldown reduction set.

But the level is too low, and the attributes are already lagging behind.

I was just wondering how to get a set of clothes that fit me, and my dad brought them over.

Indeed, there's no one better than Dad.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

Lin Tianhao asked mysteriously, "Do you know where this came from?"

Lin Mo was taken aback.

This is a bad question...

If it had been bought, Dad definitely wouldn't have said that.

Given his father's character, it's highly likely he didn't get it through any legitimate channels.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and asked tentatively:

"Zhao Lei lost to you?"

Lin Tianhao laughed loudly:

"Hahaha! No one knows a father better than his son!"

"That's right! We won it from that old bastard Zhao Lei!"

"You have no idea, he spent more than half a year preparing this set of equipment, which is a level 20 divine gear for his Zhao Yu."

"Now that the results are in your hands, we should really thank Uncle Zhao."

Lin Mo chuckled upon hearing this.

If Zhao Yu knew that the top-tier equipment he was wearing was given to him by his own father, he would probably faint from anger on the spot.

This father and son are such good people, giving away points and equipment.

"Alright, alright, you two stop pretending to be innocent after getting the benefit."

Su Wan interrupted the father and son's conversation with a smile: "Mo'er, are you hungry? Come on, let's go home! Mom has already asked the kitchen to prepare a celebration feast, all the fancy dishes are there, and there's plenty to eat!"

The skill came to life the moment it heard the word "eat".

[The Fireball spell, drooling and with eyes gleaming, exclaimed: "Quick, quick, I feel like I could devour ten cows!"]

[Earth Shield Technique trembled with excitement: Finally, I can go home... Home is the safest place, I want to eat too!]

……

……

The Lin family villa, second-floor bedroom.

It's already past 2 PM.

After a hearty meal, Lin Mo felt so satisfied that all he wanted to do was lie down.

He pushed open his bedroom door and lay down directly on the soft, large bed.

"Ah...that feels so good."

[The Fireball spell let out a satisfied burp, flames leaping wildly: Full and satisfied, it's the perfect time to level up!]

[Fireball] excitedly jumped around on the screen: What great weather! Let's go out and clear out the nearby jungle, and try to reach level 20 today!

[Earth Shield Spell protested weakly from the side: Big brother...aren't you tired? I want to sleep...]

[The Fireball spell almost kicked the skill bar next door: Tired my ass! Strong people don't need rest! Only useless people think about sleeping!]

Lin Mo glanced at his experience bar.

[Level: Lv.19 (80%)]

It's definitely going to be upgraded soon.

But I don't want to go out at all right now.

I've been wandering around the exam hall all morning, my legs are about to give out.

However, Lin Mo was still looking forward to level 20, since he would be able to learn new lightning-type skills.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo turned over and said:

"Little Fire, go ahead if you want, but be careful to stay hidden, don't cause any trouble."

"If you don't reach level 20 by tonight, I'll look down on you."

[Fireball scoffed disdainfully: What a joke! You underestimate me! Just you wait and see, I'll definitely level you up tonight!]

As soon as he finished speaking, the fireball shot out of the window and disappeared into the horizon.

[Earth Shield Spell glanced out the window, then promptly curled up into a ball: Big brother has so much energy... I think I'll just go to sleep; sleeping is the safest thing to do...]
