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

Lin Mo walked out of the bedroom and bumped into his mother.

Su Wan was accompanied by two personal maids, each carrying a bowl of soup.

"Mo'er? Where are you going so late?"

As he spoke,

She slightly raised the porcelain bowl in her hand, her tone full of doting affection:

"Mom just had the kitchen make some soup, and she's about to bring it to your room. You must be exhausted from the exams these past few days; you need to nourish yourself properly."

Lin Mo stopped and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:

"Mom, I'm not hungry. I just ate dinner not long ago."

"I just learned a new skill called Lightning Strike, so I thought I'd try it out on the wooden stake in the backyard."

"Shall we try out our skills in the backyard?"

Su Wan was taken aback, and looked Lin Mo up and down. "Huh? Mo'er, you're already level 20?"

If I remember correctly, it was the 19th grade this afternoon, right?

"Yeah, it'll be quick, right?"

Lin Mo gave a casual, perfunctory answer.

Fortunately, Su Wan didn't ask any more questions, but simply told Lin Mo to drink the soup first.

After Lin Mo finished drinking, Su Wan finally spoke:

"Okay, but don't stay out too late. It might rain outside. Try it a couple of times and then go back inside to rest so you don't get wet."

"Okay, Mom, I'll just toss it around a couple of times."

Lin Mo waved his hand, walked past Su Wan, and headed towards the stairwell.

Watching her son's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, Su Wan's smile grew even brighter, tinged with a touch of emotion.

This child...

They're clearly working very hard, but they insist on hiding it.

What's wrong?

Is it shameful to work hard?

Su Wan felt both gratified and amused.

He must be afraid that people have too high expectations of him and that the pressure is too great, so he deliberately acts cynical.

Actually?

Behind the scenes, he's more cunning than anyone else!

"Level 20 already... Lightning skills..."

Su Wan murmured, her eyes gradually brightening.

Previously, Mo'er had given everyone such big surprises with her fire and earth elements.

This time, it's the lightning element, which is said to have the strongest single-target burst damage!

Although it's just a basic skill, who knows what kind of earth-shattering commotion it might cause.

"No, I have to tell Lao Lin."

Thinking of this,

Su Wan turned and walked quickly toward the study at the other end of the corridor.

……

at this time,

The atmosphere in the study on the second floor was somewhat somber.

The heavy soundproof door blocked out most of the thunder from the outside, leaving only a faint, muffled sound.

Lin Tianhao's expression was solemn, and his casual clothes could not conceal his authority as the city's defense commander.

Opposite him, Ye Hongyu and Shi Tou stood straight, their expressions equally serious.

"You should all keep in mind what I just said."

"Things aren't peaceful these days."

"According to intelligence from the front lines, monsters in various wilderness areas have rioted to varying degrees."

"The small animal tides that used to occur only once a month have happened three times this month, and each one is larger than the last, with the frequency doubling compared to last year."

Speaking of which,

Lin Tianhao stood up, walked to the window, and pulled open a gap in the curtains.

"Boom!"

A blinding bolt of lightning ripped through the sky.

"Thundercloud Beast... It hasn't appeared for several years."

Lin Tianhao sighed.

Ye Hongyu asked with concern:

"Commander, should we go to Yunhai City to provide support?"

Lin Tianhao shook his head and said:

"No need. It's just a world boss. There are at least five magic gods in Yunhai City. This little thundercloud beast can't cause any trouble."

"However, such unusual movements by high-level monsters often trigger a chain reaction."

"In the coming period, we need to increase the frequency of patrols and defenses in Jianghai City. You can make those arrangements."

"Yes, Commander!"

The two responded in unison.

Just then.

dong dong dong.

Before Lin Tianhao could speak, the door was pushed open.

In the entire Lin family, only Su Wan dared to barge into the commander's study without prior notice.

Upon seeing Su Wan enter, a smile instantly appeared on Lin Tianhao's face.

"Wife? What brings you here?"

Seeing the somewhat serious atmosphere, Su Wan couldn't help but ask:

"Did I interrupt your serious discussion? Perhaps I can come back later?"

"No, no, no!"

Lin Tianhao waved his hands repeatedly, and said with a righteous expression:

"What important business could be more important than your wife's affairs? Besides, the meeting is over, and we're just about to let them go home and rest."

"What do you need, my wife?"

Seeing Lin Tianhao's appearance, Ye Hongyu and Shi Tou exchanged a glance, seemingly both seeing the helpless smile in each other's eyes.

The commander, who is decisive and efficient in public, is completely subdued in front of his wife.

Perhaps this is what they call a henpecked husband.

Su Wan smiled and said:

"Mo'er is already level 20. She just learned the Lightning Strike spell and said she wants to go to the wooden stakes in the backyard to test the skill."

"I was thinking, this is our son's first lightning-type skill, do you want to go take a look?"

Hearing this, Lin Tianhao waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Ugh, it's just a lightning strike..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lin Tianhao suddenly remembered.

That's Mo'er's lightning strike technique!

Who knows what surprises await? I have to go!

"Let's go! Let's go take a look!"

Lin Tianhao pulled Su Wan and walked out, his face full of anticipation.

Ye Hongyu and he exchanged a glance and followed.

They were also very curious.

What will the lightning element, known as the strongest single-target burst damage, look like in the hands of the young master?

……

at the same time,

Inside the Lin family villa.

"Hey! Did you hear? Young Master went to the training ground in the backyard!"

A maid jogged over and whispered to her colleague who was wiping a vase.

"Oh? Young Master went to the training ground?"

"I've worked for the Lin family for three years, and I've never seen the young master go there..."

"So, do you want to go and join the fun?"

"But I haven't finished my work yet..."

"Oh dear, what can't we do? Young Master rarely goes to the backyard; there's bound to be a good show to watch!"

"That's true!"

For a time, similar conversations were taking place in every corner of the villa.

Within minutes, the servants, who were originally performing their duties, all found excuses to put down their work.

They flocked to the backyard in groups of three or five.

Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Tianhao are kind people who never put on airs with their servants and would never criticize them for such trivial matters.

The servants all knew that Commander Lin and his wife doted on their young master to the extreme.

Anything concerning the young master is of paramount importance.

They went to watch the young master practice his skills; perhaps Commander Lin would even be pleased, feeling that everyone cared about the young master's growth.

……

The Lin family's backyard.

This is an extremely open lawn, surrounded by various solid wood weapons and shelves.

In the very center of the lawn stood a huge wooden stake, next to which was a device that could display damage.

This is no ordinary wooden stake.

These wooden stakes are incredibly hard and also possess a strong self-healing ability.

The cost of just this one wooden stake is as high as tens of millions of Chinese Yuan.

Looking across the entire Jianghai City, there are very few households that can afford to install this test stake in their homes.

at this time,

Lin Mo was standing about twenty meters in front of the wooden stake.

He suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around.

"..."

The once empty backyard entrance is now teeming with people.

At the front were his father, Lin Tianhao, and his mother, Su Wan, who were looking at him expectantly.

Beside them were Ye Hongyu and Shi Tou, both equally curious.

This is not finished.

Behind them came a chef in a white chef's uniform, a gardener with large scissors, and even a security guard with his dog.

Lin Mo was speechless.

No, what are you doing?
