Chapter 18: Ch18: Special Missions
Mo Bai finally made his way toward the training grounds after selecting his elemental skill. The Lightning Claw technique booklet was now tucked securely under his arm. As he arrived, he saw Mo Fan sitting cross-legged, deeply focused on reading and understanding his own skill.
"Oh, Mo Bai! You’re done already? So, what did you pick, huh?" Mo Fan looked up with a casual smile and curious tone as Mo Bai approached and sat down beside him on the tiled ground.
"My pick? I chose the Lightning Claw technique. It suits me best," Mo Bai replied calmly, showing the title clearly written on the booklet’s cover.
"What? Really? Isn’t that a technique that only requires beginner-level elemental control? Why didn’t you choose something stronger? You had a bunch of options," Mo Fan asked, clearly surprised.
"Yes, it only requires beginner-level control, but that doesn’t mean it’s weak. It’s the best fit for me. You’ll understand in time."
Mo Fan shrugged. "Well, I guess you know what works for you."
Still, before returning to his reading, a flicker of doubt crossed Mo Fan’s mind.
’I don’t get it... With his control level, he could’ve picked something way stronger. Even if he likes close combat, there were plenty of other techniques better suited for that. Weird choice... Whatever, I’ll just focus on getting stronger myself. Once I master this, Yi Kang is going down. Haha.’
Mo Fan quickly pushed away his curiosity and refocused entirely on his booklet.
