Chapter 569: Chapter 267: Sentimental Little Wolf Girl?

At first, Grim was quite relaxed, even a little confused.

Yesterday, when that guy Leonard had contacted him, Grim had heard the schadenfreude in his voice, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.

That seemed to imply there was a catch to today’s training session.

But if all he had to do was keep attacking, where was the catch?

For a moment, Grim couldn’t figure it out.

However, as the practice dragged on, his attitude began to change.

He’d fired countless Arrows, but on top of being unable to even pierce the other man’s Magic Shield, the young man across from him showed no signs of stopping.

He had already been shooting for over an hour straight!

’How long is this practice going to last?’

Grim began to feel a sense of unease.

"Please continue, Mr. Grim..."

"Keep going, keep going!"

"How about we stop for lunch, Mr. Grim? It looks like you’re running out of steam."

Even though Lin Mo had said that, how could Grim possibly agree?

He could only bite the bullet, clench his teeth, and raise his sore, swollen arms to continue shooting.

Two hours, three hours...

Before he knew it, four or five hours had passed.

By now, Grim was completely numb. He had been the one on the offensive the entire time, yet he felt as if he were the one taking a beating, his whole body aching.

In truth, this was the reflective damage from [Resilience] taking effect.

However, after being mitigated by [Frost Guardian], the damage Grim’s Skills dealt to Lin Mo was already quite limited, so the reflected damage was naturally minimal.

Even so, after several hours, the small amounts had accumulated, leaving Grim in utter misery.

"Would you like to take a break, Mr. Grim?"

This time, Lin Mo’s offer was sincere.

Grim wanted to act tough, but when the two words "No, thanks" reached his lips, he found he couldn’t get them out.

’I really need a break. If I don’t rest now, my arms will be useless...’

His Qi and Blood had long been depleted. Near the end, he could no longer use his Skills and had to resort to shooting Ordinary Arrows. He had also long since switched from his practice Crossbow to his usual primary weapon.

But what about Lin Mo, who stood opposite him?

After taking so many attacks, he looked completely unfazed, as if he hadn’t consumed any Magic Power or Physical Strength at all.

’Is he even human?’

It wasn’t the first time he’d had this doubt about Lin Mo, but Grim couldn’t help but bemoan the fact in his head.

Suggesting a break was really just another way of saying that the day’s training was over.

No matter how long he rested, his Physical Strength and Qi and Blood wouldn’t recover anytime soon. Forcing the training to continue wouldn’t be very effective.

Still, the day’s gains had been substantial.

Lin Mo checked the Skill Level progress for his [Resilience] skill.

[Resilience] Level 6 (289/300)

With just 11 more Skill Level points, the skill would reach Full Level.

Additionally, the improvement to [Frost Guardian] was also quite pleasing; it had increased by one level, reaching Level 3.

"Skill [Frost Guardian] Lv2 (20/20) has leveled up!"

"Current Skill [Frost Guardian] Lv3 (11/40)"

"Obtained Basic Attribute Points Magic Power +2!"

His Magic Attribute had now reached 131, just 9 points away from leveling up again.

It felt like his promotion to Elite had just happened, yet in the blink of an eye, Lin Mo had already raised his Basic Magic Attribute by another 11 points while focusing on his Knight Professional Skills.

Even he felt this leveling speed was insane.

"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Grim. Shall we continue tomorrow?"

Lin Mo asked as he drank some water, glancing at the silent, middle-aged man beside him.

"..."

Grim shuddered, the cup in his hand nearly slipping from his grasp.

His mouth twitched for a long moment before he finally spoke. "I’ll pay you. Go after Leonard... and don’t hold back!"

"Is that really a good idea?"

Lin Mo feigned hesitation. "Mr. Leonard has helped me a lot. We’re like inseparable brothers."

"100 Gold Coins."

"This isn’t about money. Our bond is unbreakable."

"1000 gold coins."

"But then again... Mr. Grim, you’ve helped me a lot, too!"

Lin Mo bumped fists with him and patted his chest. "Don’t worry, leave it to me. I’ll give it 120 percent!"

Of course, a joke was a joke. Lin Mo had no intention of actually taking the man’s money for nothing.

’Where’s the logic in asking someone for training help, only to turn around and charge them for it...?’

So, just as Grim took out the Gold Coins, Lin Mo pulled a few items he’d prepared earlier from his Ring of Space—several bottles of Alchemy Reagents that Madam Chacher had gifted him when he left Silver Stream City.

There were two bottles of High Level Life Potion, one Mid-Effect Antitoxic Reagent, and one Endurance Reagent.

They weren’t particularly rare Potions, but they were highly versatile and would certainly prove useful. Their total value was around two to three thousand gold coins.

Grim paused, but he didn’t refuse. He simply gave Lin Mo a serious look and accepted the reagents.

Naturally, Lin Mo had prepared an identical set to give to Leonard after tomorrow’s session.

Unlike with elders like Lady Beixila and Madam Chacher back in Silver Stream City, he still needed to observe these simple social graces with peers like Grim and Leonard.

"Well, I’ll be taking my leave."

Lin Mo waved and stood up to go.

The day’s training was over, but Lin Mo’s day was not.

’Speaking of which, now that we’ve gone from two people to three, I wonder what the arrangements will be moving forward?’

Lin Mo hadn’t asked about it, and it seemed they hadn’t formally discussed it either.

But everyone seemed to share a tacit understanding, an unspoken rule. In the end, the one who entered his room was the little Maid whose turn had been taken by another for the past two days.
