Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 104: Crazy Lu Nian, want to escape at any time? No way!

The other students were all jealous. The boys were jealous of Lu Ran, and the girls were jealous of Mu Ningxue.

Anyone would envy a genius like Lu Ran who has been promoted to a high level at such a young age.

But Mu Ningxue happened to be good friends with him.

The bootlickers of the Imperial Capital Academy were wailing in their hearts.

Mu Ningxue is their goddess!
Mu Ningxue, who used to be indifferent to any suitor, unexpectedly took the initiative with Lu Ran.
What makes people even more infuriating is that it’s not enough for Lu Ran to have Mu Nujiao, he also doesn’t let Mu Ningxue go. What a beast!
Are they planning to get one for Mingzhu and one for the Imperial Capital?!
Just a few hours after the exchange student training team left, a man wearing a military coat, a long gown, and a badge symbolizing the identity of the Military Control Commission walked into Songhe's office.

Song He glanced at Lu Nian, poured him a cup of tea, and then said quietly:
"I heard you're still conducting demonic experiments? You caused quite a stir a while ago! It took the intervention of the Hunting King Du Xiao to put the demonic experiment subject to rest."

Lu Nian sneered when he heard this, and said fanatically:
"Doesn't that further prove the greatness of the demonic experiment? It can allow an ordinary high-level mage to gain the power to fight against a super-level hunter king!"

Songhe's expression remained unchanged and he remained silent for a long time.

But he knew in his heart that Lu Nian had indeed gone crazy.

Lu Nian didn't mind and said with a sneer:
"I'm looking for death row inmates. They deserve to die and will die sooner or later. It's a great thing for them to contribute to the new department before they die!"

"The power of demons can elevate the fragile human body, and the magic system will also see a huge increase. Even the super-level Hunter King Du Xiao can't easily kill the high-level demon test subject. This shows the greatness of this experiment!"

"I'm working for the benefit of all mankind!"

After listening to Lu Nian's indignant words, Song He sighed and said, "But this experiment has been banned by the Magic Association and the military. What you are doing now is not justified!"

Lu Nian said excitedly, "Which magic creation didn't come at a great cost? The experiment is already very effective. It's impossible for me to give up."

"And I'm not here to discuss demonic matters with you today."

Song He took a sip of tea, looked up at Lu Nian and asked:

"What's that for?"

Lu Nian's expression remained unchanged as he asked quietly, "I'd like to know where the training location for this training team is?"

Song He frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Why are you asking this? I won't tell you without a valid reason."

The training location was unknown to anyone except some senior officials in the Imperial Capital and Pearl Academy who participated in the meeting.

Lu Nian had anticipated this, and he had already prepared a plan in his mind. He immediately said:

"Dean Songhe, my brother Lu Zhenghe is in the training team. As his older brother, don't I even have the right to decide where he trains?"

"Field training is no joke. People have died during field training at the Imperial Capital Academy in the past. I happen to have a batch of magic tools here that I want to send to my useless brother with low cultivation."

"Don't worry, I won't participate in any training-related tasks."

With this legitimate reason to hold on to his noodles, Song He drank his tea and said slowly:
"The training location is in Jinlin City."

Lu Nian sneered in his heart and said:

"Don't worry, Dean Songhe. If anything unexpected happens, I, Lu Nian, will take full responsibility!"

"Of course, if the new experiment is successful, your contribution will surely be remembered by the world!"

Song He listened with a frown, feeling that something was wrong. Finally, he nodded, put down his teacup, and signaled to send the guest away.

Lu Nian stood up and turned to leave.

He laughed sarcastically in his heart, "What a hypocritical old fellow, you say you don't support me, but I just promised you some credit and benefits, yet you still told me the place where you were training, hoping to take the credit from me?" If the new system experiment could really succeed, Songhe might be able to climb to another level.

Thinking of this, after leaving the Imperial Capital Academy, Lu Nian took off the Military Control Commission badge on his chest.

In addition to being a status symbol, this is also a special recording device!

The conversation between him and Songhe just now was recorded in full!

"Just saying this and you want to share the cake, but without any actual action, how can it be that simple?"

"Are you thinking you can get away at any time? Are you still thinking you can stay out of it? If something does happen, you won't have an easy time!"

After the team got off the plane and left Anjie, ordinary means of transportation could no longer be used.

The school did not prepare any off-road vehicles made of special magic stones for them, so everyone had to walk for the rest of the journey.

Some slave demons actually appeared along the way.

However, with Lu Ran leading the team and a large group of undead providing protection, these small servant-level monsters really couldn't cause any trouble.

As the team moved forward, Qingqing from the Imperial Capital Academy explained the situation around Jinlin City to everyone.

Because it involved Professor Shi's academic report, Lu Ran listened quite seriously.

Seeing Lu Ran giving her so much face, Qingqing felt very excited.

He then spoke with more confidence and his voice became much softer, hoping to attract Lu Ran's attention.

But unfortunately, from beginning to end, Lu Ran just listened, and then chatted with Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao from time to time, without looking in her direction.

This made Qingqing very upset.

Are only beauties of Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue's level able to attract Lu Ran's attention?
Qingqing really wanted to have a brief romance with a genius like Lu Ran, but unfortunately Lu Ran never gave her any hope.

"If we follow the abandoned railway tracks, we won't go wrong. It's only a matter of time before we reach Jinlin City!" Qingqing said confidently.

Before Jinlin City fell, the railway area naturally belonged to Anjie.

But with the fall of Jinlin City, it was wiped off the map and the area became deserted.

Nowadays, this railway track has become a navigation tool. Just follow it and you can reach Jinlin City.

The team moved quickly and soon arrived at a tunnel blocked by dense vegetation.

The sunken tunnel outside the Anjie is definitely a gathering place for some dark demons and a favorite habitat for social demons.

"After passing through this tunnel, we should be able to reach Jinlin City soon. However, there must be a large number of demons living there."

"If it feels dangerous, why don't we just go over the mountain? Even though that would require a longer walk, it would at least be much safer."

After Qingqing finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Now, there are two paths left for everyone to choose. One is to go through the tunnel, which may lead to a head-on collision with a large number of demons.

The other route is much safer, but more time-consuming.

Everyone subconsciously looked at Lu Ran, but Lu Zhenghe could no longer sit still. This was a good opportunity for him to show off!
