“Ding-dong! Congratulations player for learning level one spell [Fireball].”

“Ding-dong! As the player is the first player in the entire server to learn fire-type skills, reward talent [Fire Mastery].”

[Server Announcement: Congratulations Player Caruso for learning fire-type spell [Fireball]. Reward talent [ Fire Mastery].]

After witnessing Cass’s performance, system notifications rang in Caruso’s mind again.

After hearing these notifications, he couldn’t help but be surprised again.

After being surprised, he licked his dry lips.

It seemed that his early login had great benefits.

He could get all kinds of rewards just by doing something.

If he could develop himself for a year… After a year, when all the humans in the world entered the game, he would definitely be invincible.

Thinking of this, he looked forward to the future even more.

At the same time, he checked the system reward for the talent skill.

[Fire Mastery]

Level: Beginner (1/1000)

Type: Talent Skill (Growable)

Effect: Increases fire damage by 20%.

…

“F*ck!”

After looking at the reward, Caruso was once again shocked.

This time, he didn’t do anything, yet he obtained such a powerful innate skill. This was simply too awesome!

“Caruso, come over and give it a try!”

Besides, after he executed the skill, he realized that Caruso seemed to be a little absent-minded?

Upon seeing this, he immediately felt a little angry. However, when he thought of the other party’s innate skill, he didn’t show his temper in the end. Instead, he asked Caruso to give it a try.

The purpose of asking him to come over and give it a try was very simple. It was to test whether Caruso had studied hard on the assignment.

He estimated that the first time he used a skill, he would definitely fail.

Once he failed, he would immediately prepare to begin his education.

When he thought about how he was going to educate a future peerless genius, he could not help but feel happy.

It just so happened that he had been depressed for half a day. Now, there was a chance for him to explode.

“Oh, Grandpa Cass!”

Caruso naturally didn’t know what Cass was thinking. After hearing this, he immediately went to Cass’s side.

Immediately after, his expression changed and he looked at the wall in front of him with incomparable calmness.

“Fireball Spell!”

Almost at the next second, Caruso shouted loudly.

After drinking, Cass was dumbfounded.

His anger also rose.

Didn’t he hear me just now?

To cast a magic skill, one must chant a spell. Only then could one control the elemental particles quickly.

To cast a skill instantaneously, was a skill that only advanced mages could learn. Moreover, it was something that only geniuses among geniuses could comprehend.

How could an apprentice mage who had just meditated on the elemental particles do it?

But just as he was about to start his education, suddenly, Cass was stunned and looked at Caruso in a daze.

After Caruso said the fireball spell, in the blink of an eye, a fireball that was twice as big as Cass’s appeared in front of Caruso out of thin air.

Then, Caruso instantly pointed at a place and the fireball spell rushed towards the wall at the speed of light.

Bang!

With a loud sound, the fireball spell that Caruso cast hit the wall hard.

After it hit the wall, the whole wall fell down with a loud bang. It was a mess!

“F*ck!”

Seeing that a wall was knocked down by him, Caruso immediately felt scared.

He didn’t have any money on him now. What if Old Man Cass asked him to pay for it!

For this reason, Caruso quickly said carefully, “Ca… Grandpa Cass… You won’t blame me, right?”

Cass: “…”

How could the current Cass blame Caruso!

He was already dumbfounded. He looked at the wall that was penetrated as if he was looking at a monster.

“Kid, quick, use your fireball spell to attack me. Attack with all your strength!”

Cass said hurriedly. He couldn’t wait to see how much potential Caruso had.

“Oh.”

Caruso was slightly stunned, then nodded obediently.

On the opposite side, Cass had already set up a formation, muttering strange incantations. He spread out his hands, and a huge water curtain appeared in front of him, protecting him tightly.

“Come on!”

Cass said from behind the water curtain.

“Fireball!”

Caruso shouted in a low voice. A fireball directly appeared in his palm and shot toward Cass’s water curtain.

The moment the fireball touched the water curtain, the water curtain fell like a drop of water on a red-hot iron plate. With a loud sizzling sound, the water curtain was instantly penetrated by the fireball and evaporated in less than half a second.

With a bang, the fireball flew past Cass’s bald head and exploded under the tree behind him.

In an instant, the entire tree was set on fire. Not long after, the tree turned into a black charcoal tree.

Cass was already dumbfounded the moment the fireball passed through the water curtain.

“Kid… Tell Grandpa, are you the reincarnation of the Fire God?”

After a long while, Cass looked at Caruso with a sobbing tone and slowly said this sentence.

When he finished saying this sentence, a crystal clear teardrop flashed in his cloudy eyes.

It was not until half an hour later that Cass recovered from his grief.

When he first saw Caruso, he thought that he was a fool from some village.

When he saw Caruso the second time, he still thought that the child was a fool.

When he saw Caruso the third time, he thought that the child was a genius.

But now, when he saw Caruso, he felt that he was a fool.

Forty years ago, he was like Caruso and he also awakened his elemental talent in this village.

But at that time, he awakened a few fire elemental particles and a water elemental particle.

But he was still the most talented youth among the group of young companions.

Because of this, he was secretly happy countless times.

He thought that he was a genius.

However, forty years later, after he truly came into contact with the ranks of mages, he realized that his talent was only mediocre.

In forty years, he had only gone from being an apprentice mage back then to becoming a three-star mage now.

Among the surrounding villages, he was the strongest. However, as long as he walked towards the main city, he did not even have the qualifications to be a guard.

After receiving so many blows, he had long since become indifferent to time and felt that it was fine as long as it was ordinary.

He peacefully became the village chief in the village.

But now, after meeting Caruso, he was almost in tears.

It turned out that the gap between people was actually so big.

Fortunately, after crying for a few minutes, Cass finally recovered.

He taught the last two fire elemental skills to Caruso.

They were fire shield and fire snake.

Seeing that Caruso had learned them in an instant, Cass sighed and said earnestly, “Child, I… I am useless. I am not worthy to be your teacher. You can only go to the big city where there are teachers qualified to teach you magic.”

Hearing Cass’s words, Caruso nodded.

“Grandpa Cass, when I become a powerful mage in the future, I will definitely repay you!” Caruso said.

Just when Cass was about to continue speaking, suddenly, an urgent alarm sounded.

Soon, another anxious voice sounded.

“M-… Mas-… Master Cass!”

“There are wolves! The wolves have come!”
