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

Chapter 126 Mu Tingying Wants to Steal Mu Ningxue's Man? Sixth-Rank High-Level!
The immense pressure of the space pressed down, making it difficult for Mu Tingying and the other two women to breathe.

The man's power before her caused Mu Tingying's mindset to become distorted.

How can it be?

How could a prestigious university in the capital have such powerful students?

No, he's not from the Imperial Capital Academy!
Thinking of the honorary councilor badge and spatial magic, a person came to mind for Mu Tingying.

Lu Ran!

Lu Ran, from Mingzhu Academy, is the one who single-handedly killed Lu Nian of the Military Intelligence Bureau!

Mu Ningxue has many suitors; she can bump into quite a few every day at the Ice Academy.

Every time Mu Tingying saw these suitors of Mu Ningxue, she felt annoyed and wished she could torture them.

But today was clearly a day of terrible luck; he actually ran into Mu Ningxue's man, and the strongest one at that!

"This time, it's just a temporary punishment. If I find out you're targeting Mu Ningxue again, it won't just be physical pain!"

Lu Ran's palm, formed from spatial power, slammed heavily onto Mu Tingying's buttocks.

Mu Tingying cried out in surprise, her face flushed.

I have a feeling that my buttocks are about to burst open!

Lu Ran showed no mercy, slapping Mu Tingying hard before tossing her to a female student nearby and instructing her:

"If you don't want others to know that a member of the main branch of the Mu family has been spanked, then you'd better behave yourself!"

Lu Ran turned around and left.

Mu Tingying stared resentfully at Lu Ran's back.

One of his companions said, "Are we just going to let him go like that? Lu Ran is being too presumptuous; this is the capital!"

Mu Tingying glared at her and said coldly, "Why don't you go find someone? He's riding high right now, don't drag me down with you if you're courting death!"

Mu Tingying thought to herself:
"You want me to call you 'Your Excellency'? The man I, Mu Tingying, can never have? The man of Mu Ningxue?"

With all these debuffs stacking up, Mu Tingying's lips curled into a smile, and a wicked thought began to sprout in her mind:

"Lu Ran, is it? I'm going to compete with Mu Ningxue anyway, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the look of despair on Mu Ningxue's face!!"

Magic City.

Qingtian Hunting House.

"Oh my, isn't this our honorary councilor? You've finally decided to come back from the gentle embrace of the capital?" Lingling rolled her eyes and said sarcastically.

Mo Fan was secretly laughing to himself.

But when he noticed Lu Ran's gaze directed at him, Mo Fan immediately stood up and said;

"Well, I'm going to do my commission now."

After Mo Fan finished speaking, he immediately made his escape.

Lu Ran said with a dark face, "Gentle haven? Where did you hear such nonsense? Is this what schools teach now?"

Lingling put her hands on her hips and said, "Sister Mu told me that."

Lu Ran wisely kept quiet.

"Where's your sister? Didn't she go back to Shanghai?" Lu Ran asked.

“They came back to see me yesterday, but went back to Hangzhou this morning,” Lingling replied.

Lu Ran glanced at Lingling's petite figure, and inexplicably thought of Xin Xia and Ai Tutu, then said:

"Okay, nothing's wrong. I'm going home now."

Lingling immediately panicked:

"What? I have a ton of requests piling up, just waiting for you to come back and do them!" Lu Ran was speechless and asked, "Mo Fan wasn't here just now, you..."

Lingling casually dismissed him with a remark: "He's not strong enough. You're a high-level mage! You can take on so many more commissions!"

Lu Ran nodded helplessly, then changed the subject and said:

"By the way, if you have time, could you help me register with the Hunter's Alliance and collect a batch of Eagle Red Grass, the more the better?"

Lingling thought about the information about Eagle Red Grass in her mind and realized that it wasn't anything expensive, so she nodded and said:

"Okay, are you in a hurry?"

"No rush, take your time."

"Okay, let's go do the request now! Tomorrow's Monday, and I don't want to go to school!"

Lu Ran: “.”

So you're saying I'm just a tool for you to skip school and class?

Time flies, and the next two months have passed.

Lu Ran first returned to Mingzhu Academy, intending to visit Dean Xiao and Professor Shi.

But little did anyone know, these two big shots were very busy, running around with the demon monitoring data report from Jinlin City that they had obtained from the capital, traveling to various places.

Since there was no opportunity to meet, Lu Ran could only put it aside for the time being and devote himself to cultivation.

At the main campus, Lu Ran descended upon the Water Academy with an invincible aura!
The Water Academy is a large academy with over two thousand students, twice the number of the Fire Academy.

With a large number of people, there are also many strong individuals.

But on Lu Ran's very first day of arrival, during the Challenge Week, he directly challenged the top student of the Water Academy!

The chief of the Water Academy is a senior student who has mastered both intermediate-level skills.

According to students, this top water-element expert is only missing a Star River Vein to break through to the advanced level!
Some people are talking about it, and some are speculating.

But everyone knows this is a farce, because there's no comparison at all!
Although not everyone knew about Lu Ran's affairs in the capital, many scions of prominent families had heard of them.

As it turned out, Lu Ran crushed the former top student of the Water Academy with a single spatial magic attack, and topped the list!

He defeated them in one move, and the entire arena fell silent; you could hear a pin drop!
Even if I had anticipated it beforehand, I never expected it to be so easy and effortless!
After winning the top spot in the Water Academy, Lu Ran took the Star River Vein and entered the Three Steps Tower for arduous training.

Compared to the huge boosts he received from entering the Three-Step Tower the previous two times, the effects of this cultivation holy land on Lu Ran are now gradually diminishing.

Fortunately, Lu Ran's cultivation and spiritual power had both made breakthroughs. This time, he crossed the threshold of the sixth level and came to cultivate on the sixth level of the Three-Step Tower. He then cultivated on the seventh level for a while.

After two months of arduous training, he first broke through the spatial and mental nebula to a higher level.

After completely stabilizing the spatial and mental star rivers, Lu Ran focused on meditating on the water and the undead star river.

Thanks to the special tutoring provided by Dean Xiao, he was able to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower indefinitely, a privilege that others could not enjoy.

With the addition of massive resources, Lu Ran's undead and water-based star system rapidly expanded, breaking through to the second level!

At the same time, the entire system reached the high-level stage, and the Undead and Water Star River systems also reached the second level of the high-level stage!
Even without relying on the power of the Styx, the current Necromancer can summon a horde of undead using only the Necromancer constellation, summoning over a thousand undead at once without any difficulty.

As for the water system, it is protected by the River Styx at all times, making it 'impervious to all magic'!
After his seclusion ended, Lu Ran went to Dean Xiao's office.

Upon seeing Lu Ran again, Dean Xiao's face showed a hint of surprise.

"Good lad, your cultivation has improved a lot in just a few months!"
"I heard you recently won the top spot in the Water Science Department? You're quite the restless young man, but you do have some of my younger self's flair." Dean Xiao stroked his long beard and chuckled.

Lu Ran shook his head and chuckled, saying:
"Not at all, how can I compare to Dean Xiao? I'm just all bark and no bite, it's nothing to mention."

"By the way, Dean Xiao, I need to ask for leave for a while. I need to go to Hangzhou."

Dean Xiao frowned:
"Hangzhou? Is it for the totem serpent? Or to solve the plague?"
