Adventure: My Skills Evolve Infinitely

The Blood Sea Gang members present weren’t just the ones outside, of course. Many more were still inside the mine, hauling out ore.

Lin Mo and Landon didn’t need to go looking for them; they could just wait at the entrance of this main mine shaft.

However, to avoid arousing suspicion, they had to move a little further inside, in case those guys walked near the entrance and realized something was wrong outside.

Just as Lin Mo had expected, it wasn’t long before another group of Blood Sea Gang members emerged, pulling several small carts filled with ore.

Lin Mo immediately used [Wind-Binding Blade], a simple move that instantly killed them all.

Landon then used the Wind Roll Skill to sweep the bodies outside, after which they continued to wait for the next wave.

Wave after wave, they killed six or seven groups of Blood Sea Gang members in a short time.

The total number of people was well over a hundred.

’They really sent a lot of people...’

Before he knew it, Lin Mo’s skills had leveled up from all the fighting.

"Skill [Wind-Binding Blade] Level 2 (20/20) has leveled up!"

"Skill [Wind-Binding Blade] Level 3 (40/40) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill: [Wind-Binding Blade] Level 4 (23/100)"

"Gained attribute points: Magic Power +2!"

[Wind-Binding Blade] was an Excellent Level skill, and reaching Level Three gave Lin Mo another two points of Magic Power.

However, next, Lin Mo planned to dedicate some effort to increasing the Skill Level of his Warrior Profession skills.

Especially the [Continuous Thrust] skill; Lin Mo had wanted to level it up and evolve it for a long time, but his progress had been slow.

Although killing with a Sword Skill was much less efficient than Magic, Lin Mo’s power was so overwhelming against these Blood Sea Gang members that one strike per kill was still acceptable.

After continuing like this and finishing off two or three more waves of Blood Sea Gang members, Lin Mo estimated that it was about time.

Sure enough, after he finished off another batch of Blood Sea Gang members, he felt a piercing "wind" approaching from the depths of the mine shaft ahead.

The target wasn’t him, but Landon, who was standing to the side.

It seemed the opponent had seen his earlier fighting. Although Lin Mo also wore a Mage Robe and looked like a Mage Professional, the attacker targeted Landon first, who appeared to be the easier target.

Without a second thought, Lin Mo cast [Resilience] on Landon.

After this skill reached Level Four, the second Evolutionary Path he chose allowed it to be used on others, though with a reduced effect.

But it was enough. Landon had his own life-saving skills. Realizing the danger, he waved his Magic Staff, and a turquoise barrier instantly enveloped him. The barrier looked incredibly sturdy, with winds flowing across its surface.

It looked unremarkable, but if an enemy were to get too close...

The next moment, the flowing wind erupted as if its hackles were raised, suddenly forming a tornado. The powerful force of the wind sent the smaller ore rocks nearby flying.

’Damn.’

Lin Mo was also startled; this skill looked much fiercer than his Frost Guardian.

’This must be the Excellence Level skill Landon chose back at the City Lord’s Mansion.’

’Since he already had an Excellence Level offensive skill, choosing an Excellence Level skill geared toward defense was indeed a good choice.’

But the ambusher was no slouch either. Although the gale reduced the momentum of his attack considerably, the remaining force still managed to strike the turquoise barrier.

A cracking sound rang out. A look of surprise appeared on Landon’s face, and he immediately retreated.

The next moment, the barrier around him shattered completely, and the [Resilience] Lin Mo had cast on him took effect.

"This guy..."

Landon clutched a minor wound on his abdomen, frowning as he looked at the attacker.

The person wore a loose black robe and a black mask. He was tall and had a mysterious air about him.

’Level 5?’

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow. To shatter Landon’s Excellent Level Magic Barrier in one blow, the opponent had to be a Level 5 Warrior.

’But as far as I know, only the Gang Leader of the Blood Sea Gang has reached Level 5. Could this person be the Blood Sea Gang’s leader?’

’Would the Gang Leader really come in person just to steal some Secret Silver Ore?’

’Something’s not right!’

Facing a Warrior with a higher Level, Landon was in an awkward position. For a Mage like him, who didn’t have a particularly wide array of skills, one-on-one combat was not his specialty, let alone against a stronger opponent.

Lin Mo immediately made his move. He cast [Resilience] and [Lightness] on himself, followed by a layer of [Frost Guardian], and charged forward to face the opponent head-on with a stack of buffs.

CLANG—!

Their swords clashed with a crisp ring. A look of clear astonishment showed in the attacker’s visible eyes. He was knocked back, his movements momentarily frozen.

’He never imagined that Lin Mo’s Strength would be so high!’

’Even greater than my own...’

But it wasn’t over. The next second, Lin Mo suddenly pushed forward again. The Sword in his hand moved like a nimble snake, striking out and piercing the opponent’s chest.

[Continuous Thrust]!

CLANK—!

’Judging by the sound, the opponent was wearing Heavy Armor. That, combined with his already low Agility, explained why he seemed somewhat clumsy.’

Unfortunately for him, Lin Mo had just switched to the Steel Splitting Sword, which specialized in countering Heavy Armor. Coupled with the bonus from the sword, his Strength already surpassed that of a typical Level 5 Warrior. This strike tore directly through the Heavy Armor and plunged solidly into his chest.
