Hundred Thousandfold Return? (Seeking good reviews, seeking tips)

"He... he... he also has Thunder Element power?"

"Since when did Thunder Element appear in pairs?"

"Silver and purple intertwined—his lightning quality is even stronger than that Heretic's?"

"So this is the Lin Mo that Old Lu from Southern Province mentioned? Truly a monster!"

"Haha, good! Miss Xiao Ya has hope now!"

"..."

In an instant, all the accompanying instructors' faces lit up with joy.

Lin Mo had given them a huge surprise.

On the other side, Lu Chen's people stared at Lin Mo in disbelief, as if they were looking at a demon.

Who could have imagined that such a freak was hiding here?

"Boom! Crackle~"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Mo and Lu Chen's fists clashed, erupting with arcs of electricity.

Clearly, Lin Mo's Lightning Element was far stronger.

Lu Chen was sent flying directly, his body charred crispy on the outside and tender on the inside by the silver-purple currents.

Fortunately, he had completed Skin Refining and Bone Refining, allowing him to quickly neutralize the damage.

Otherwise, taking a hit like that would have left him dead or crippled.

"Good, good, good! Lin Mo, you're excellent, hahaha!"

Lu Chen, though knocked back, burst into loud laughter, looking utterly manic.

"Has this guy lost his mind?"

Lin Dabao stood behind, dumbfounded.

Lu Chen had been repelled twice in a row by Lin Mo, yet he was still laughing and shouting "excellent"—too... crazy.

"No! Lin Mo, watch out."

Xiao Ya and Chen Jia shouted at the same time.

Just as their cries rang out, Lu Chen vanished from his spot, his speed astonishing.

"Bang!"

As if teleporting, Lu Chen appeared beside Lin Mo and threw a punch.

This punch was even fiercer than before.

Lin Mo raised his right arm to block.

"Stomp, stomp, stomp!"

He slid back three steps horizontally. The moment he steadied himself, Lu Chen's attack came again.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

Lin Mo forcibly adjusted his stance and engaged in combat.

This time, Lin Mo's expression turned grave.

Lu Chen, meanwhile, laughed wildly, each punch more ferocious than the last, as if his strength had no limit.

"Boom~"

A savage punch sent Lin Mo flying back seven or eight steps.

By now, Lin Mo's arms ached terribly. Looking at Lu Chen's nearly deranged face, he grew even more serious.

"Is this all you've got? Can't you get me any more excited?"

Lu Chen grinned wickedly, staring at Lin Mo with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

He hadn't expected Lin Mo to also be a Thunder Element awakener, and one with a stronger boost than his own.

But at this point, Lu Chen had misunderstood, assuming Lin Mo's Thunder Element came from a Natural Awakening.

After all, Lu Chen's Thunder Element was acquired later, a stroke of luck.

Back then, he had absorbed a third-rank Thunder Element Mutant Beast.

So after absorption, its power naturally couldn't compare to Lin Mo's.

Yet this didn't disappoint him—it only excited him more.

The stronger Lin Mo was, the greater the thrill of killing him.

And the rewards from the organization would be even richer.

Lu Chen was very confident he could kill Lin Mo.

After all, he was at the Bone Refining stage.

"How can he be this strong?"

This round of combat once again stunned Liu Sheng, Wang Gan, and the others.

When they saw that Lin Mo's Lightning Ability was stronger than Lu Chen's, they all thought victory was within their grasp.

But now they realized that Lu Chen still hadn't used his full strength.

As for Xiao Ya and her group, their shock wasn't because Lu Chen was holding back.

It was Lin Mo!

"He... actually completed Skin Refining in such a short time?"

"Is he even human?"

"Half an hour to finish Skin Refining? No way!"

"Wasn't he already close to finishing Skin Refining before this?"

That was what Xiao Ya and the other three were thinking.

They had watched Lin Mo pick the Hundred Life Flower. In that brief span of time, he'd completed Skin Refining?

The shock in their hearts at this moment was beyond compare.

"Brother Mo, catch."

Just then, Lin Dabao suddenly tossed a box over.

Lin Mo was in the middle of considering how to deal with Lu Chen next.

The truth was, Lu Chen's strength had exceeded his expectations.

As he was now, defeating Lu Chen was impossible!

But unexpectedly, Lin Dabao threw him a box at that moment.

"What's this?"

Opening the box, he saw three golden pills inside.

"These are Hundred Beasts Bone Refining Pills, refined from the skulls of ninety-nine beast kings combined with Rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. The best material for Bone Refining."

Lin Dabao had figured it out—what Lin Mo lacked compared to Lu Chen was the Bone Refining stage.

If Lin Mo lost before the rescue arrived, the fate of everyone here went without saying.

The instructors were all suppressed at the moment, completely unable to save them.

At this point, he had to try anything, even if it was a long shot.

These materials were precious, but if they died, they'd just benefit someone else anyway.

Rather than that, he might as well gamble on Lin Mo.

This kid had finished Skin Refining in half an hour—maybe giving him the Hundred Beasts Bone Refining Pill would yield unexpected results.

[Ding, detected that the host has sufficient Bone Refining materials. Do you wish to refine and absorb them now?]

The situation was grim. The gap in strength between the two sides was significant, and there was no telling how long until rescue arrived.

If he didn't absorb them, his current combat power clearly couldn't defeat Lu Chen.

The other party was at Peak Fifth Rank, having completed both Skin Refining and Bone Refining, plus his Lightning Ability amplification and martial techniques.

At full output, his combat power would definitely surpass Lin Mo's.

But if he did absorb them, the excruciating pain from the last Skin Refining session was still fresh in his memory.

If he had to endure that in the middle of a fight, dying would be the best-case scenario.

[Ding, detected that the host is facing a powerful enemy and is in a combat state. Absorption will be background-processed!]

"Background-processed? What does that mean?"

Seeing this prompt, Lin Mo was taken aback.

[Background processing temporarily exempts the host from all adverse effects during the Bone Refining period. These effects will only manifest when the host is in absolute safety.]

[Ding, does the host wish to absorb now?]

"No way, it can do that?"

Hearing this, Lin Mo was overjoyed.

"Absorb!"

With that, all his concerns vanished. What was he waiting for?

He needed to get stronger fast, and he just hoped this Bone Refining would finish quickly.

So, he swallowed the three Hundred Beasts Bone Refining Pills directly and used his mind to communicate with the system.

[Ding, absorption begins...]

[Ding, Bone Refining initiated...]

[Ding, detected the host's earnest desire to rapidly grow stronger. Critical hit triggered. Obtained Hundred Thousandfold Return!]

[Ding, time required for this Bone Refining: 1 minute.]

"Holy crap? Hundred Thousandfold Return?"

Hearing this system prompt, Lin Mo was completely stunned.

He'd thought ten thousand times was the limit, never expecting a hundred thousand times was waiting for him here.

Perfect timing!

As expected, the system was the most considerate companion for any transmigrator—awesome!

"Haha, boy, you think swallowing that Hundred Beasts Bone Refining Pill now will save you?"

Lu Chen watched Lin Dabao and Lin Mo's little moves, but didn't rush forward.

Even when he saw Lin Dabao toss out top-tier bone refining materials.

He didn't care at all that Lin Mo had swallowed those three Hundred Beasts Bone Refining Pills.

Bone refining? As if it were that easy?

To him, watching his prey run out of options, sinking into despair and terror, was his greatest joy!

"Heh, thank you!"

Lin Mo didn't mind Lu Chen's mockery at all. Instead, he smiled and thanked him.

"Thank me?"

For a moment, that threw Lu Chen off.

Why would this kid thank him?

"Of course, I have to thank you for giving me time to refine my bones." Lin Mo kept smiling.

But in his mind, he was counting along with the system's countdown.

"Pfft! Kid, have you lost your mind? You don't actually think swallowing those Hundred Beasts Bone Refining Pills will let you succeed at bone refining instantly, do you?"

Lu Chen doubled over laughing, amused by Lin Mo's words.

"Five seconds!"

Yet Lu Chen didn't care at all, raising his palm.

"Five... four... three... two... one"

As Lin Mo counted down, the smile on Lu Chen's face gradually faded.

He'd thought this kid must be crazy, putting on an act at a time like this.

But slowly, he realized something was wrong.

With each count, the aura radiating from Lin Mo grew stronger.

The moment Lin Mo reached one, Lu Chen's smile couldn't hold any longer, instantly twisting into terror.

"Bastard! How is this possible! Die!"

In that instant, Lu Chen seemed to see something utterly horrifying, his eyes bulging wide, all trace of his earlier arrogance and flippancy gone.

Lu Chen panicked!

"Bone Refining realm? He... he actually broke into the Bone Refining realm!"

"How is that possible? Didn't he just take the Hundred Beasts Bone Refining Pill? It's only been... one minute, and he's already completed bone refining?"

"Is this guy even human?"

"..."

For a moment, everyone present was dumbfounded.

What kind of monster was this Lin Mo standing before them?

Completing bone refining in such a short time—unheard of!

"Die!"

Lin Mo paid no attention to the crowd's murmurs. The top priority was killing Lu Chen.

As his words fell, he transformed into a hurricane, charging straight at Lu Chen...
