Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

After pocketing the Gold Coins and the "Hound’s Fang," Lin Mo got up and checked the secret room again. Once he confirmed he hadn’t missed any details, he continued on his way, pushing open the door at the other end of the room.

Before him, once again, were three passageways.

Lin Mo looked at Shefilya behind him, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit.

"Rock, paper... scissors!"

Seeing Shefilya’s small, clenched fist, Lin Mo chuckled. "You lose."

Shefilya didn’t say a word. She simply withdrew her hand and walked directly toward the path on the right.

The moment she turned, a faint smile seemed to play on her lips.

It wasn’t obvious, but because they had spent some time together, Lin Mo still noticed the subtle change.

’Happy even though she lost?’

’What kind of logic is that...’

The important thing right now was conquering the maze, so without giving it much thought, Lin Mo hurried down the right path as well.

The long, narrow corridor was exceptionally quiet. Even the number of traps had decreased significantly.

Presumably, for those who had made it this far, traps were no longer very effective.

They soon reached the end of the path. Just as Lin Mo had expected, a grayish-blue door appeared before them.

Some time had passed, and the Rock Shield in his hand had already disappeared. Lin Mo cast Rock Shield Technique again, once more using the Rock Shield to push open the door.

The secret room before them was wide open and completely empty.

’Strange...’

Lin Mo didn’t let his guard down and cautiously stepped inside. However, after a thorough search, he still found nothing.

There was some trash and skeletal remains on the ground. Lin Mo took a closer look and saw what looked like the corpse of a Demon in one area.

’Looks like someone has been in this secret room before?’

But judging by the state of the Demon’s corpse, it must have been a long time ago. It wasn’t recent.

With neither Demons nor a Treasure Chest, Lin Mo shook his head in disappointment and reluctantly pushed open the other door at the far end of the secret room.

"Oh?"

He immediately raised an eyebrow, because this time, a full four passageways appeared before him.

"What do we do this time?"

Shefilya asked from behind him.

Winning, losing, or tying could only decide between three paths; there was no fourth option.

Lin Mo waved his hand. "We’re not playing rock-paper-scissors this time..."

As his voice fell, under Shefilya’s intrigued gaze, his shadow suddenly "stood up" and transformed into another Lin Mo.

A rare expression appeared on Shefilya’s face as she stared curiously at the two Lin Mos before her.

After a few seconds, she finally spoke. "New Skill?"

Of course, she had seen this Skill before.

Lin Mo had already used it many times on the way back before. The other Adventurers traveling with him didn’t know, but Shefilya, who was following in secret, had seen it clearly.

"Mhm."

Lin Mo nodded, directing the other "Lin Mo" to walk down the leftmost passageway.

Shefilya didn’t press him further, simply reverting to her almost robotic state and waiting quietly.

But in reality, her thoughts had already drifted far away.

Shefilya was by no means an unworldly person. She had even seen more than one Hero-level powerhouse and many, many Skills of different levels.

’Based on my past experience, a profound Skill that can turn a shadow into a physical entity couldn’t possibly be lower than Epic Level!’

’But that raised a question...’

’How did he learn this Epic Skill?’

’After all, for this entire period, I’ve been following Lin Mo almost constantly, except for when he was in the city.’

’And in the city, it would be impossible to buy an Epic-level Skill Scroll. Besides, he didn’t have that much money.’

’And the appearance of this Skill was so abrupt...’

’He clearly hadn’t used it during the intense battles in the previous Cave, yet shortly after leaving the Cave, he suddenly brought it out...’

’It’s been like this before, too. Lin Mo would always suddenly use techniques he hadn’t used before, and most of these techniques were of a high level.’

It left Shefilya completely baffled.

’He couldn’t have comprehended them all himself, could he?!’

It wasn’t that Shefilya needed this long to consider the possibility. Rather, the explanation was so outrageous that she had subconsciously dismissed it.

Comprehending and creating Skills was, by its very nature, a privilege of geniuses.

But even for a genius, the Skills they could comprehend were often related to their own realm and experience.

Normally, one could only comprehend Skills a tier lower than their own level.

For example, the current Extraordinary Mage of the Doria Kingdom, Elvis, only created a few Excellent Level Magic spells after ascending to the Extraordinary Realm.

Only a very small number of geniuses among geniuses could comprehend Excellence Level Skills in the Extraordinary Realm, or create Epic Skills in the Hero Realm.

Those who could achieve this often had their names recorded in history, to be known by future generations.

’But what realm is Lin Mo in?’

’Forget Extraordinary or Hero... he hasn’t even reached the Veteran Level!’

’Logically speaking, even comprehending an Ordinary Level Skill would already require Heaven-defying Level perception.’

’An Epic one...’

’No, it’s impossible.’

Shefilya shook her head. ’No matter how you look at it, it’s impossible to comprehend an Epic Skill at a Professional Level of 4. That would completely shatter my worldview.’

’He most likely had some other unknown fortuitous encounter.’

While Shefilya was lost in thought, Lin Mo had already directed his Clone through the long passageway to its end.
