462: How did I become the weakest?

Luo Mu's voice was domineering and powerful, completely unlike the tone he usually used when speaking to Gu Qinghan.

Jiang Xiaoyu was already stunned at this moment. He almost subconsciously nodded and was carried by the waves to Luo Mu's side.

Luo Mu condensed a lightning spear in his hand, plunged it into the body of the Oceanic Giant Whale, and instructed Jiang Xiaoyu to hold it.

The tingling sensation surged into his body, allowing Jiang Xiaoyu to regain some of his senses.

The Oceanic Giant Whale seemed to sense the countless auras attacking from the surroundings and let out another burst of whale cries.

However, the position where Jiang Xiaoyu and the others were located was almost unaffected; they didn't even lose much vitality.

Boom... A clap of thunder sounded in the sky, causing Jiang Xiaoyu to cast his gaze upward again.

He saw that within the oppressive dark clouds, a purple python seemed to be condensing.

"Don't let go later, or you'll die without even leaving ash behind!"

Luo Mu's voice came over, making Jiang Xiaoyu involuntarily shiver.

"You... you purposely stayed hooked here?"

Jiang Xiaoyu swallowed hard, asking with a somewhat dry voice.

Luo Mu turned to look at him, lightning flashing in his eyes, seemingly ready to burst forth at any moment.

He grinned, and then said:

"Yes, otherwise how would I pinpoint where the lightning lands?"

Crackling sounds of lightning seemed to emanate from his voice, making the hairs on Jiang Xiaoyu's body stand on end.

"When will your attack fall... I mean, My older brother is very worried about you."

Hearing Jiang Xiaoyu's words, a trace of unconcealed gentleness appeared on Luo Mu's face.

He thought for a moment, looked at the dark shadows rapidly approaching underwater in the distance, and slowly spoke:

"Wait a little longer. This attack cannot be wasted.

My older brother is leveling up too fast; I need to hurry up and catch up."

"Then are you actually a Cleric?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again.

"No," Luo Mu paused, "but I will be soon."

Jiang Xiaoyu opened his mouth, but in the end, nothing came out.

For a moment, he had a misconception.

When he first arrived, he thought he would be the main force this time, second only to Gu Qinghan.

But in the short minute that just passed, he changed that idea.

It seemed that he was now the weakest of the four people...

And in the distance, after the effect of Chen Yuting's skill ended, Gu Qinghan suddenly turned and said:

"Did you use a Holy Skill just now?"

"Yes, I told Jiang Xiaoyu to go find Luo Mu..."

Chen Yuting's voice was a little anxious; she genuinely liked the little guy, Luo Mu.

But unexpectedly, Gu Qinghan gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said:

"Actually, I just realized something: Luo Mu should be fine."

"Huh?"

"Yes, he must have stayed there on purpose.

Look at the thunderclouds in the sky; don't they look somewhat similar to Luo Mu's abilities?"

Hearing Gu Qinghan's words, Chen Yuting looked up.

The range of the condensed thunderclouds wasn't large; they seemed to be gathering only around the Oceanic Giant Whale.

And lightning—isn't that Luo Mu's Class ability?

"But is he really okay? The Dragon-people seem to still be attracting marine creatures over..."

There was still some worry in Chen Yuting's voice, as she had always treated Luo Mu like a child.

Gu Qinghan shook his head, looked at the lightning faintly visible in the thunderclouds, and said:

"Trust him. He's just a bit short; he's actually an adult already.

And I estimate that this kid is probably thinking of using this opportunity to level up quickly."

Chen Yuting instantly broke into a smile. Only Gu Qinghan, as his older brother, could joke about Luo Mu's height so casually.

But precisely, Gu Qinghan was also the person who understood Luo Mu the best.

They watched countless dark shadows swim beneath them, rushing toward the Oceanic Giant Whale.

The instant the two sides were about to make contact, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly tore apart, and a streak of purple lightning descended with a crash.

The purple color was so concentrated that it seemed to be liquefying, pouring directly onto the body of the Oceanic Giant Whale.

Instantly, the Oceanic Giant Whale's body shook violently, and a massive scorched wound was blasted onto its back.

However, the purple electric plasma did not disappear; instead, it scattered outward, falling into the continuously churning seawater.

The first wave of dragonized marine creatures approaching this area were suddenly all affected.

Various corpses surged to the surface, mixed with some beings that hadn't completely died.

Some Dragon-people even floated to the surface, their scorched bodies clearly indicating they were beyond dead.

"Baka!"

The Majestic Dragon-person in the distance was so furious his lungs felt like they would explode. He hadn't expected that this single streak of lightning would kill more Dragon-people than the Oceanic Giant Whale had just moments ago.

He roughly knew the reason: the elite Dragon-people underwater were already severely injured after the Oceanic Giant Whale's two large-scale attacks.

But regardless, the fact that Luo Mu killed these elite Dragon-people was undeniable.

He was furious, but looking at the Oceanic Giant Whale struck by lightning, he felt a primal fear.

That single blow just now directly tore open a scorched hole on the side of the Oceanic Giant Whale's back.

The wound wasn't deep, but the scorched color and the residual electric light at the edge of the wound proved that this strike was absolutely not light.

And as a large number of dragonized Mutated Creatures died, Luo Mu's level also climbed continuously.

His original level wasn't low, but at this moment, he sprinted up the level ranking list, reaching the top ten in the blink of an eye.

Finally, his level stabilized in sixth place.

Gu Qinghan also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Seeing Luo Mu's name rapidly rise confirmed that his plan was exactly as he had guessed.

The most shocked person was Jiang Xiaoyu, who was right next to Luo Mu.

When the lightning struck just now, he noticed that much of the falling lightning had entered Luo Mu's body.

Luo Mu had actually absorbed a lot of this terrifying lightning.

But even so, he felt a tingling sensation all over his body, and was even struggling to exert force.

His hand, tightly gripping the lightning spear, also felt weak, and finally, stimulated by a jumping electric arc, he actually fell directly toward the water.

Electric light was still flashing on the water below. If he fell in like this, he would definitely be injured, perhaps even severely.

Even if he controlled the seawater, it wouldn't make a difference, because the surrounding seawater was all the same.

But just then, a hand tightly grabbed the falling Jiang Xiaoyu, stopping his descent.

Jiang Xiaoyu looked up and saw that the person holding him was Luo Mu.

At this moment, Luo Mu's face had markings resembling lightning forks, his short hair stood on end, and his eyes flashed with heart-pounding electric light.

He grinned, and with his other hand, made a grasping motion toward the area below where lightning was flashing. The lightning was quickly drawn to him and finally vanished into his hand.

Having completed all this, Luo Mu laughed heartily, released Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, and, enveloped in lightning, erupted in an extremely powerful burst of light.

Gradually, the purple lightning transitioned toward a greenish-white color, and its momentum became increasingly fierce.

On the combat power ranking list, Luo Mu's ranking was also rapidly increasing.

"Is this the power of High-Rank Cleric Status, the Administrator of Thunder Prison?"
