Wan Zhuoyun panted heavily. His handsome, layered hairstyle was now wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead.
On Ding Shiyu's side, her condition was not much better. Although her appearance did not change much, her face was a little pale because of the loss of spiritual power. She was obviously tired.
Hearing Lin Xiu's words, Wan Zhuoyun first raised his head to look at Lin Xiu. When he realized that the other party's condition was much better than theirs, the surprise and unwillingness on his face immediately revealed itself.
Why? He was trapped in a group of rats and surrounded by so many monsters, but he was still standing there!
Wan Zhuoyun did not understand. The other party did not have the high defense and physique of a Warrior, nor did he have Ding Shiyu's area of effect damage. How could he be unharmed under the attack of the rats?
Looking at Lin Xiu's full HP bar, Wan Zhuoyun was very unhappy.
He originally thought that Lin Xiu would die under the attack of the rat group.
Thus, when he was tanking the damage earlier, Wan Zhuoyun had deliberately blocked out, causing a portion of the Greater Rats to lose their aggro towards him and turn to attack Lin Xiu, who had the highest damage output.
However, he did not expect that not only did the other party not fall into a dangerous situation, but he also accepted everything and increased his level again.
This made him feel a sense of defeat. He could only watch as Lin Xiu grew rapidly, and he could not stop it.
"There's still more than half an hour before it ends. Since you're not satisfied, let's continue," Ding Shiyu picked up all the materials that had fallen around her and replied gently.
After saying that, she immediately took out a bottle of Blue Potion from her Backpack and gently crushed it, allowing the blue light to fuse into her body.
Seeing that the other party's expression had recovered a lot, Lin Xiu could not help but shake his head somewhat helplessly.
"A rich family is indeed different. In such a low-level cave, they even use expensive potions."
Hearing the different meaning in Lin Xiu's tone, Wan Zhuoyun was a bit unhappy and immediately said coldly, "If you want to leave, then leave. There's no need for so much nonsense!"
Lin Xiu originally did not plan to find trouble with the two of them now, but he did not expect Wan Zhuoyun to actually take the initiative to come knocking on his door.
Wan Zhuoyun had already stretched his face over. If he did not slap him twice, Lin Xiu would feel sorry for himself.
As he thought of this, he immediately turned around and stared at the other party with a cold expression.
"Do you have the right to speak here? Looks like you still don't know your place."
Lin Xiu walked forward and continued, "When did you feel superior being a sandbag on the battlefield? If you're so resistant, why don't you go to the construction site to carry cement?!"
Feeling the pressure from Lin Xiu's approach, Wan Zhuoyun's expression changed slightly, but he did not believe that Lin Xiu would really dare to attack him, so he continued to harden his neck.
"What a joke. You're just an Unspecialized who's worse than trash in the later stages. The family behind you is about to be destroyed. What qualifications do you have to challenge me?!"
After he finished speaking, the entire cavern instantly fell silent.
At this moment, Lin Xiu's expression was terrifyingly gloomy, and the killing intent in his eyes was practically brewing into substance!
He was weighing the pros and cons in his heart. If he killed Wan Zhuoyun here, how many days would the Lin Family be able to resist the encirclement of the two great families?
Although the Ding and Wan Families were only a branch family of a large family, they were still not small. Even when the Lin Family was at its peak, the two families could still gain an advantage.
Moreover, the Lin Family was already on the decline. With the decline of the Lin Family, the Lin Family had already lost the right to negotiate with the two great families.
Whether it was the Ding or Wan Family, they all had Third Transition Classes in their families.
If they joined forces to attack, the Lin Family might not be able to last for three days!
Perhaps even three days was a very optimistic estimate.
When he thought of how his actions would likely hasten the Lin Family's destruction, Lin Xiu could only fiercely suppress the killing intent in his heart.
Even so, he did not intend to let the other party off so easily. At the very least, he had to dispel the other party's arrogance.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiu raised his head and took a deep breath. Then, he immediately chanted the Fireball Spell.
The mysterious and complicated incantation had just escaped his mouth.
In the next second, a dazzling fireball the size of a washbasin immediately condensed in front of Lin Xiu!
The moment the fireball appeared, the originally cold and damp temperature in the cavern instantly increased by quite a bit. Under the illumination of the thick flames, the entire cavern became bright and clear, and every single detail could be seen!
The fireballs that were constantly rising in the air also lit up the faces of the two people not far away.
Ding Shiyu's eyes were fixed on Lin Xiu, and her small mouth was slightly agape. Clearly, she did not expect that Lin Xiu had actually learned the Fireball Spell exclusive to Mages, and had raised it to two levels in such a short period of time!
"Impossible!" she muttered involuntarily, her pretty face filled with disbelief.
As a Mage, Ding Shiyu was naturally very clear about the scale and power of the Fireball Spell.
Under normal circumstances, a level 1 Fireball was only the size of a volleyball. As a basic skill for Mages, its damage was naturally not high. The only advantage was that it consumed less mana and had a fast cooldown. It could be used to kill monsters by casting frequently.
In addition, Fireball was an AOE skill with a burning effect. Therefore, regardless of any special class among Mages, Fireball would generally be the main output method in the early stages.
However, the Fireball that Lin Xiu was using now, regardless of whether it was in terms of scale or power, had completely exceeded the scope of a level 1 Fireball.
This was what surprised Ding Shiyu the most.
One had to know that if a Class wanted to increase the level of the skills they had mastered, the only way was through continuous practice to increase their experience.
According to the knowledge she had learned in the Academy, if she wanted to upgrade a level 1 basic skill to level 2, she would need to release it at least 100 times.
If one's talent was lower, the number of times required to level up would increase exponentially.
However, it was only the second day after they Awakened their Classes. She really could not figure out how Lin Xiu leveled up his Fireball Spell.
Ding Shiyu's pretty face was gradually filled with shock as she looked at the fireball that was getting hotter and hotter, ready to smash down at any moment.
When Wan Zhuoyun saw this scene, he was almost scared silly.
He was shocked, but more than anything else, he was afraid of death!
Although he was a Warrior and had the highest basic HP among all the Classes, his weak magic resistance was still the fatal weakness of a First Transition Warrior.
Wan Zhuoyun's equipment did not increase his magic resistance at all, so it was only four points.
If he was really hit by Lin Xiu's Fireball, he would probably lose at least one-fifth of his HP.
If that was the case, he would not be so nervous. However, the reality was that he had just left the battle and his HP was reduced to about half by the Greater Rats.
Therefore, the Fireball Spell that Lin Xiu successfully condensed had a sufficient degree of threat to him!
