Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Bai Mo was right; he himself didn't need this armor, and neither did the people around him.

They all have their own methods and strengths, so there's no need to go to the trouble of pursuing powerful objects.

But Lingling is different; she often goes on adventures with him or Mo Fan and others.

Although this little girl's survival skills are simply off the charts, even if everyone else dies, she might still be alive and well.

But having another option is always necessary.

Moreover, Lingling is nearing the time to awaken her magic, and this armor is more like a special protector, helping her to solve problems when she encounters unexpected situations during her adventures.

This is, after all, a magical world where power reigns supreme.

Many difficult situations can be solved even without intelligence, if you were One-Punch Man.

This armor was designed to give Lingling the power of One-Punch Man, allowing her to break through conventional boundaries, even when she was still weak.

Moreover, in Bai Mo's view, Mo Fan was a top student in the technological world, but turned into a brute in the magical world. The change in the underlying logic of the world played a significant role.

But when necessary, his mind will come online again.

Getting back to the point, Lingling had just put on the Water Armor Cube when there was a knock on the door.

Before the three could answer, the door was pushed open, and a refined-looking, slender man walked in.

He first glanced at the three of them, then fixed his gaze on Lingling and the other two.

"Gentlemen, you are the two designated to complete this mission. It is not permissible for you to leak your own mission information. Your previous eavesdropping on other teams' missions was already somewhat inappropriate."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's face darkened, while Lingling shook her head expressionlessly, gesturing to the milk tea in her hand.

"I just ordered takeout and didn't reveal my intention to do anything. You don't need to worry. Bai Mo is very busy and has no interest in such small orders."

After he finished speaking, Lu Kun and Mo Fan's lips twitched.

What does it mean to deliver food? This is the first time Lu Kun has ever heard of it. A judge of the Supreme Court needs to deliver food.

And what's with all this milk tea? Is it really necessary to drink it? Is it worth a great mage bringing it all the way from Shanghai to Beijing?

If the listening array in the room hadn't been completely silent, he wouldn't have rushed over to remind him.

And what does "small order" even mean? You call something like the Star Sea Celestial Vein, which is valuable but not available and only exists in barter exchanges, a "small order"?

Mo Fan agreed, saying that he would be overwhelmed with orders like these, he wouldn't mind having too many.

"Lingling is right, she suddenly wanted to drink the milk tea from the place near her house. I specially bought some and brought it over to her, since I happened to have some free time," Bai Mo said.

"Haha, is that so?"

Lu Kunqian chuckled twice, looking as if he believed him. He didn't want to press the matter further, and simply said:

"In that case, I'll take my leave. You two should finish the mission as soon as possible. This is a large-scale group mission, and if there's no progress within a certain time, it might be handed over to another mage team in the same group."

"Don't worry, we'll finish it as soon as possible," Lingling said.

"That's good. I'll arrange for a member of the Lu family to assist you both. If you need anything, feel free to contact him. Goodbye."

Maintaining a gentle smile, Lu Kun finished speaking, bowed slightly, and politely withdrew, closing the door behind him.

"Tch, all pretentious." Mo Fan curled his lip. When that guy came in, he just pushed the door open.

"Let's talk about this mission."

Lingling looked at Bai Mo and said, "You shouldn't follow us for now, so as not to alert them. It's not too late for you to step in once we find our target."

"Moreover, this mission does indeed have the regulations that Lu Kun mentioned."

Lingling fully believed Bai Mo's words. Even though she hadn't experienced this water armor magic weapon yet, since he said it was at the level of a supreme monarch, then it was.

Since that's the case, Lingling has the confidence to prevent that red demon from leaving.

White ink acts as a safety plug.

"I'm fine, feel free to contact me anytime."

Bai Mo nodded slightly. To be honest, he was really looking forward to seeing Lingling wear this armor in battle.

"The place where the Red Devil fought my father was Shanghai, and we need to go back now."

As Lingling explained the plan, she was also thinking about something. "Since Lu Kun is going to send people to keep an eye on things, we might as well make good use of them. The Lu family's surveillance network is quite useful for investigation."

"Let's get going now!"

Mo Fan said that he was already impatient. Once he completed this mission and obtained the complete Star Sea Heavenly Vein, he could break through another super-level magic system and reach the fourth super-level.

"Um."

Lingling nodded, then suddenly looked at Bai Mo.

"By the way, some rumors about you have suddenly appeared online, you should be careful."

Bai Mo was taken aback, then frowned. "What rumor?"

"It's probably about your abilities. Right now, it seems more like fans praising their idol, but there's also some dark speculation mixed in. Just search your name online and you'll see."

Lingling paused for a moment, then said, "Let's go, take us back to Shanghai."

Bai Mo took out his phone and summoned Feng Ling.

"Let Fengling take you back. I have some business to attend to at the Forbidden City."

"Okay." Lingling nodded and hugged Fengling, who had turned into a small rag doll.

······

The Forbidden City is considered the headquarters of the official magic organization of the entire Kyushu. Previously, the Red-Clad Nine-Headed Serpent, who had been lurking here for a long time due to Bai Mo's reputation, ran away, causing quite a stir.

The position of the Southern Guardian, one of the four guardians of the Forbidden City (east, west, south, and north), became vacant, sparking a fierce competition.

There was even a group of people who, under Pang Lai's advocacy, proposed that Bai Mo serve as the Southern Guardian on a part-time basis.

However, it was ultimately rejected because the applicant was not qualified enough.

Bai Mo only heard about it from Jiang Yu later, because all of this happened in secret.

He just felt that these people were not intelligent enough, as if he were something special.

But in such a place, the rules are like this: even someone as prestigious as Pomley can only offer suggestions, and will be directly opposed.

However, these troublesome matters had nothing to do with Bai Mo. He came to the Forbidden City to collect something.

As the headquarters of the official magic institution of Kyushu, this place holds many treasures, information, resources, and secret techniques.

As the head of Xinghuo.com, Bai Mo is qualified to choose secret cultivation methods within the Forbidden City.

I originally planned to contact Jiang Yu via email to arrange for electronic borrowing, but since I'm already here, I might as well go and see the physical version myself.

As we approached the Forbidden City, we saw Jiang Yu waiting by the side gate.

As he approached, Bai Mo glanced at his uniform and raised an eyebrow.

"Wow, not bad, you got promoted."

"Hehe, this is all thanks to you."

Bai Mo stroked his chin and glanced at the black cat perched on his shoulder.

"That's not necessarily true. I feel like you haven't had a complete stroke of luck. I haven't seen you have as many suitors as I do."

"You can tell that from that?" Jiang Yu opened his mouth, realizing that he hadn't been in a relationship yet, even though it had been several years since graduation.

"That's not good-looking." Bai Mo gestured with his lips, indicating to Ye Luosha.

"Little Kuroko hasn't turned into a catgirl yet. Do we have to raise her for another two and a half years?"

"Meow!!"

The Night Rakshasa let out a cry and brandished its claws.

"Ahem, I'm not that kind of person." Jiang Yu's expression was complicated. He had already noticed that some of his colleagues on patrol nearby had their ears perked up.

If they keep talking, given these guys' personalities, he won't even be able to clear his name by tomorrow, solidifying Fu Ruikong's reputation.

So he decisively changed the subject: "The Refining Technique Pavilion isn't far ahead. What kind of secret technique do you want? I've seen all of them there, and I can explain them to you."

"Water-based." Bai Mo paused. "Two parts."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu was taken aback. "Huh??"

He didn't believe Bai Mo didn't know that each magic system could only cultivate one secret technique at most.

"The secret technique can only be used by the user."

"Who said I don't use it myself?" Bai Mo smiled, and with a wave of his arm, a blue figure of Bai Mo stepped out of his body.

"Let me introduce myself, Bai Lanlan, this is my transcendent power."

"You are Bai Lanlan."

Bai Mo retracted his clone and raised an eyebrow at the astonished Jiang Yu.

"You...he wouldn't..." Jiang Yu stammered, half out of fear and half out of shock.

"Yes, just like you think. Remember to keep it a secret, but it's okay if you don't. It's not a big deal anyway," Bai Mo said.

"I see."

Jiang Yu took a deep breath, nodded, and silently gave a thumbs up.

He had long since come to admire this former captain of the national server.

He quickly composed himself, his eyes flickering slightly, and began his introduction:

"Water-based mages are a large group, hence the palace has many water-based secret techniques."

They can be roughly divided into six categories: defense, offense, function, enhancement, and special. Among them, the special category is the smallest, while the others are roughly the same size.

There were just too many, and I can't remember most of them.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo was also somewhat surprised. If Jiang Yu, who was sensitive to words, could say that there were so many that he couldn't remember them all, one could imagine how many water-based secret techniques the Refining Techniques Pavilion possessed.

Luckily I met him today, otherwise I don't know how long I would have searched for him on my own.

"If you don't remember it, it's probably not some powerful secret technique."

Bai Mo said that not remembering it wouldn't have much of an impact, and then stated his needs.

"You've seen my water avatar; I want to be able to simulate and change its color."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yu immediately understood.

"I remember a few secret methods that could change the color of water, they were so bizarre that I still remember them."

He scratched his head. "As for achieving the level of simulation and disguise, there is one, called Huanhai Liuli."

"I have a deep impression of this because practicing this secret technique involves using the tears of blood from the Harpy Medusa monarchs. By using the deceptive power contained in their bloodline, they can make their water-based colors have a deceptive effect."

Jiang Yu stroked his chin, recalling his terrifying night in the Sahara.

"This secret technique is used to disguise attacks. I remembered it because I was studying African demons at the time, and the materials it required were too rare and special."

Later, some people felt that the effort put into this secret technique was not worth the reward, because illusions could not enhance the power of attacks.

Even if the power of deception makes your attack feel like a forbidden spell, it's actually just a mid-level spell; it won't harm your opponent and is therefore useless.

At this point, Jiang Yu swallowed hard and gave Bai Mo a strange look.

"Then, someone improved it. Medusa's Tears of Blood can be replaced with the Dream Crystals of 9,900 Mind-Based Mages."

"That master must be a spiritual type, right?"

Bai Mo couldn't help but say, "Dream Crystal is a kind of illusory crystal that will randomly appear around a mid-level or higher mental mage after they have a dream."

Each time it appears, it is only as thin as a strand of hair.

Each occurrence usually happens when a spiritual mage is in a high emotional state and experiencing bizarre dreams.

It is also known as the crystallization of daydreams.

This is a special creation of the Mind-Based Mage; it usually disappears as soon as it appears.

It's like a fire mage accidentally letting a small flame ignite around them; it will extinguish itself without any intervention.

Of course, the mage can also choose to maintain it.

However, the Dream Crystal is generated involuntarily by mental magic users and has a strong hallucinogenic effect.

In some places, the sex toys used for flirting are high-end products.

If he didn't have two... no, three soulmate girlfriends, Bai Mo wouldn't have known any of this.

"Ahem, he is indeed a minor in the Mind Department," Jiang Yu said.

"Okay then, this is it."

Nine thousand nine hundred doesn't necessarily mean we need that many mind-based mages; we just need that many illusion crystals.

Bai Mo was not surprised at all by this.

Who says human mages can't be resource producers?

Some famous Chinese medicine prescriptions use human excrement, urine, skull, beard, and fingernails as ingredients.

It's perfectly normal for mages to create some strange things.

As long as it's not like some emperor who used women's menstrual blood for cultivation, Bai Mo can accept it.

"This is the Refining Techniques Pavilion. Let's go in."

As Jiang Yu spoke, he swiped the access card. The entire attic had only three floors and was not grand, except for its profound historical background and the atmosphere of time.

From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary pavilion.

Inside, there are rows of bookshelves-like displays.

Bai Mo glanced around and saw that the first floor had seven display shelves, each labeled with the words "elemental magic".

"Parallel spaces?"

He was surprised to see the rich spatial power on those display shelves.

"Yes, let's go over there. What do you want for your second secret technique?" Jiang Yu asked as he led the way.

There are specific rules for every step here, which is why he led the way.

"The strongest."

Bai Mo didn't show any particular bias and only said three words.

The secret technique wasn't the strongest; it was already dispensable to him.

Just like his earth, lightning, and space-based secret techniques.

If the lightning-type Lieque Blade hadn't evolved into the companion vessel of Jiaoyue, it would have fallen behind him long ago.

This is still the stronger of his three secret techniques.

In the current battles, the Bagua diagram is actually used the most.

Jiang Yu understood this as well, so he also fell into thought for a moment.

Bai Mo didn't urge him and followed him to the water feature display shelf.

The shelf was filled with scrolls of bamboo slips, but as soon as the two picked up the bamboo slips, they were immediately enveloped by spatial power and transported to another space.

The space was filled with densely packed books of secret techniques, and at the very front of them was an index.

"The strongest secret techniques only have a few steps, and I can't say which one is the strongest. Let me find them all and show them to you."

Jiang Yu looked at the index shelf and wandered among the rows of books, finding them very familiar, before taking out three books.

"These three books are Han Hai, Ping Bo, and Yuan Shui."

As Jiang Yu handed the three secret manuals to Bai Mo, he said:

"Roughly speaking, they are categorized into three types: attack, defense, and function."

Nodding slightly, Bai Mo didn't say much and started flipping through the pages. As he said before, he was a water-type and didn't really need secret techniques.

Jiang Yu went to retrieve the secret technique that could highly simulate colors.

Just as Jiang Yu said, the three secret techniques can directly increase the attack power of water magic by 30%.

Pingbo increases defense by 30%.

Raw water is more like an enhancer; it can enhance any aspect of the water system, but at a great cost.

However, Bai Mo felt this was the best.

Original Water – Completely depletes the elemental seeds within the Water Mage's Water Stardust, unleashing a strike that surpasses its own level.

This is similar to the Soul Shattering Spell; once activated, the next spell is greatly enhanced in both offense and defense.

The book of secret techniques also contains many notes, mostly cultivation insights from later generations, much like the comments section on online forums today.

Bai Mo glanced at it a few times—

I bow in submission. When I returned, I unleashed my Heavenly Seed, annihilated one of the Supreme Beings, and protected our land. I am fortunate indeed.

[The people ahead of me are powerful; I only have Soul Seeds that can be used to unleash attacks, but I still managed to escape with my life from the Great Monarch. I'm a senior in high school.]

I got a Soul Seed yesterday, so I'm going to upgrade it. What a waste of money!

After confirming that the exploded elemental seed could be reattached, Bai Mo shifted his gaze to Jiang Yu.

"This one will do."

It's just elemental species, they drop easily!

And he might not even need it.

The main thing is that this secret technique is like a name change card, which can change the mage's elemental effects.

Although most people wouldn't have such a thought.

But Bai Mo has them. He doesn't lack these non-top-tier resources at all now; he can just buy them with money.

Thinking of this, he sighed.

Hate whales, understand whales, and become a whale!

It refers to someone surnamed Zhao.

Jiang Yu's lips twitched when he saw his choice.

"I think you should switch to another one. According to our records, those who learn this secret technique tend to be reckless and will explode after a short time once they have the elemental seed."

"It's okay, I'm different from them."

Bai Mo waved his hand, saying that he wasn't a water-based major.

"That's true." Jiang Yu nodded, thinking about all his connections.

After spending a day in the capital memorizing the two secret techniques, Bai Mo returned to Shanghai.

He had just landed when he received a message from Lingling.

"We found Red Devil's claw marks in the Pudong area. Based on some clues, we suspect that Red Devil is very likely Lu Kun."

The clues here should be that Lingling and the others saw the handprint on Lu Qingyao's face, which belonged to Lu Kun.

The palm print perfectly shows all six toes.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"We've basically figured out Lu Kun's identity now, but I suspect he's not the first generation of Red Devil. We're going to one of his locations to investigate, but it's not a very safe place."

Bai Mo teleported to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds and immediately saw Lingling, asking directly:

"Shall I take you there?"

"No need. I'm just giving you this message as a reminder that a battle is very likely about to begin."

Lingling shook her head, her gaze intense, and continued:

"That place is suspicious. It's a large factory set up by the Lu family in the outskirts of the capital."

According to my investigation, this factory specifically recruits prisoners released from prison, as well as hooligans and thugs from society, many of whom are criminals.

This was originally a good thing, but when I traced it back to when the Lu family was still in Shanghai, Lu Kun was the administrator of Nanshan Prison in Shanghai.

When the Lu family evacuated, the prison suddenly lost its security, leading to the escape of most of the inmates. They were actively recruiting this predominantly criminal population.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo nodded slightly. In the original story, Lu Kun did indeed undergo extensive labor reform at the Imprisonment Mountain.

In reality, it's nothing more than using the evil and resentment of these criminals to cultivate the Red Demon and the Evil Pearl.

Now that the Lu family has moved, the labor camp has actually become a factory base for the Lu family under Lu Kun's operation.

Judging from what Lingling said, it must be a large factory area.

It seems Lu Kun has also realized that the grievances of migrant workers are much greater than those of prisoners.

Bai Mo thought to himself with a playful expression for a moment, then looked up at Lingling and said:

"Is there any evidence to prove that Lu Kun is a Red Devil?"

"The blood test results haven't come out yet, but I feel that the factory is also hiding its secrets, and we need to investigate it," Lingling said.

Bai Mo originally wanted to suggest that Lingling strike at the heart of the matter and eliminate Lu Kun.

Because there will be no further news about the factory that cultivates the evil pearl.

But thinking about it, it seems that both approaches lead to the same end; Lu Kun will eventually be destroyed.

"I'll follow you secretly, so you can go without worry."

He said that Bai Mo was still very curious about the first battle of this newly created water armor.

Mo Fan grumbled from the side, "What are you saying? It's like we're never coming back this time."

······

Pingwang Valley is located southwest of the capital city. It is a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side.

The Qingling River often served as the dividing line between the inner and outer boundaries of Ya'an for hunters from the capital, passing through the mouth of the valley.

Pingwang Valley is just right; it's located on the outer ring.

Pingwang Valley, which is shaped like an isosceles trapezoid, covers an area of ​​approximately 3,000 square meters.

The valley entrance was filled with various inspection instruments and magical destruction devices. Cold metal covered the mountain walls, and two watchtowers could overlook the area several kilometers inside and outside the valley entrance.

Bai Mo glanced at Lingling and Mo Fan who had dived in, and lowered his own floating height.

The exhaust fumes from the processing plants in the valley lingered there for a long time, turning the sky above into a gray and gloomy expanse.

But Bai Mo could still barely make out the magic array platforms on the hills on three sides of the valley.

It resembled a watchtower, but Bai Mo, who had witnessed several large-scale war magic arrays, could still recognize the true appearance of these watchtowers from their unique patterns.

This is used to stack large-scale spells to strike enemies.

Within the capital city and the Ya'an border region, there are not many powerful demons.

Clearly, these things are to prevent powerful human mages from coming to probe.

With such tight security, Mo Fan, relying on his shadow-type stealth abilities, was unable to reach the actual factory area.

The factory's patrolling mage guards quickly engaged him in combat.

At the same time that the two sides were engaged in battle, the magic array platforms on the three hills suddenly lit up.

A layer of pale yellow protective barrier encircled the array platform, and then the mage inside the platform began to cast spells.

Mo Fan had just knocked down a Super-Rank 3 character with a single punch, and was then controlled by another Super-Rank 3 Ice-type character. Seeing array diagrams lighting up around him, he immediately shouted:

"Oh no, Lingling, get out of here right now!"

"What are you afraid of? Leave those things to me."

Lingling sat on the back of the Flying Wolf, rubbing her hands together with some anticipation.

She enjoys hunting demons and exploring mysteries; she's not a quiet person at heart and has some violent tendencies, which is perfectly normal.

Now that she has the ability to do things herself, she won't waste this opportunity.

Bai Mo lowered his position further to watch Lingling's battle up close.

He wasn't worried about whether he could use the armor well.

Although the little girl didn't have much practical experience with magic, she sometimes used magical artifacts to capture little demons or people.

It can also be seen that her combat intelligence is not weak; what she needs to familiarize herself with is the power of the armor.

On the back of Feichuan Ailang, a water armor cube appeared on Lingling's forehead, and then her nearly 1.6-meter-tall body was covered in black armor.

The armor appeared on her body in full proportion, making her slender figure appear majestic.

Wisps of white mist swirled around her. Lingling pushed off with her feet, as if a blood beast were unleashing its full power. Feichuan Ailang was knocked off balance and stumbled, while Lingling's figure leaped dozens of meters into the air.

The figure continued to rise, and through a special sensation brought by the armor, Lingling could judge how high she could jump.

With her gaze fixed on the approaching magic array, Lingling tried to mobilize the energy contained within her armor.

Just then, the black armored figure leaped to its highest point, and then the long arm wrapped in heavy black metal rose up. At this moment, a rushing sound of water suddenly rang out, stirring up white water splashes that gathered behind it like a full moon!

Wisps of white mist appeared, instantly coalescing into large swathes of flowing water. The powerful, deep blue water meandered across my arm, like two pythons, exuding an aura of wildness and tyranny.

"Water Dragon's Roar!"

With arms wrapped around his chest and palms together, the water pythons coiled around his arms touched each other. Behind him, the round moon and the rolling water vapor resembled a vast river churning violently, as if the wild water pythons coiled around his arms originated from that vast river!

With a sudden thrust of both palms, the water python coiled around his arms and the vast, churning river behind him instantly gained direction.

The water pythons merged and transformed into an even more magnificent and enormous dragon, its scales and claws dancing, creating a desolate, long, deep, and powerful roar in the air!

The vast water dragon suddenly flew out, and its hundred-meter-thick body made the entire hill look smaller. The observation platform on the top of the hill, which was tens of meters high, looked like a toothpick in front of the approaching deep blue water dragon.

"No, no!!"

Inside the observation tower, the Lu family's array master shouted in panic, repeatedly pressing the security strength setting button.

It was as if the words on the instrument's display screen, already set to the highest level, were no longer visible.

Once a creature grows to enormous size, it can terrify most people even before they get close or feel its presence.

This array master was like that; beneath such a massive water dragon, he was as insignificant as a speck of dust.

Lacking the courage to reclaim land from the sea, it remained huddled within Anjie, destined only to be submerged by the flood.

He kept trying to increase the security perimeter, because deep down he knew that the security perimeter on the lookout tower couldn't hold it back.

As a high-level level three mage, if he were to examine it carefully, he might be able to discover that the aura emanating from that vast and enormous water dragon was only at the level of a super-level one.

An Jie can only withstand one attack from a level one super-tier opponent, but if he can muster the courage to cast a spell, he can also block the aftershocks and save his life.

But the formation master was terrified. His job in the Lu family was to maintain the formation, so he had no idea what combat was.

The next moment, a thunderous impact rang out, the entire southern hill shook, the mountaintop crumbled, the tower collapsed, and cracks in the earth spread from the top of the mountain outwards, all the way to the foot of the mountain!

At the mountaintop, where several meters of the roof had already collapsed, the radiance of the protective barrier lasted only ten seconds.

As the water dragon exploded and disappeared, the remaining torrent swept up the protected Lu family array master, knocking him to an unknown location.

The torrent carried mud and rocks down the mountain, washing away the approaching patrol of mages.

With one corner of the array destroyed, the entire Superimposed Destruction Array was damaged, making it completely impossible to cast large-scale magic.

On the other side, Mo Fan, who had just broken free from the ice-type lock on himself and was preparing to unleash a big attack on his opponent, opened his mouth upon seeing this scene.

Feichuan Ailang howled and charged directly into the mid-level guard team responsible for guarding the gate.

His confidence as a wolf was severely shaken; he realized that the human cub he had been protecting was so powerful.

And just now, he couldn't even withstand a single kick; that's a huge embarrassment for him.

Mo Fan sensed the resentment emanating from the old wolf and could only manage a wry smile.

With a single punch, the Lava Fist River enveloped the Super-Rank Ice Mage, sending him flying. Shaking his hand, Mo Fan said:

"Once this situation is resolved, I'll upgrade you when we get back, I said."

"Go back? You can't go anywhere!!"

A sinister voice drifted from afar, echoing throughout the valley.

Immediately afterward, a blood-red shadow sped past, flying across the valley entrance. In an instant, the Flying River Wolf, which had been wreaking havoc, was directly blasted away, crashing violently through the steel and concrete of the factory building behind it.

The crimson figure stopped where Feichuan Ailang had been, its dark red bat wings slowly folding, elegant and alluring.

Sion shook his hand, glanced at Feichuan Ailang who had gotten up, and said indifferently:

"They're quite tough-skinned, though. But that's about it."

His gaze swept over Lingling, who had fallen to the ground, and Mo Fan, and he grinned, revealing sharp, menacing blood-red fangs.

"Where did this blind bug come from, daring to cause trouble here? He's asking for death!"

"Vampire!?" Mo Fan sneered. "Since when do bedbugs have the right to call people bedbugs? Instead of hiding, you dare to come out and flaunt yourself. Your rotten soul should stay in a coffin. Coming out to enjoy the sunlight will only make the sunlight feel nauseous."

"The Lu family is actually keeping you here. Looks like this place really isn't a good one. If you're going to make a move, then do it now; otherwise, get out of here. I'm burning this place down!"

Sion's eyes instantly locked onto Mo Fan, his blood-red pupils filled with a chilling killing intent.

"You dare to insult the noble vampire count; your soul will suffer eternal torment."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body vanished and reappeared in front of Mo Fan, his long, dagger-like claws reaching out to grab him.

"Mystic Serpent Demon Armor! Rock Iron Body!"

Mo Fan's expression changed, and he immediately put on a defensive stance, but a layer of water curtain was faster than him and the vampire Sion.

In Lingling's perception granted by the armor, the vampire's disappearance was like drops of water falling along a line, not becoming that fast.

Without even seeing what he was going to do, Lingling had already controlled the water armor and created a curtain of water by anticipating his movements.

The entire perception is like transforming the surrounding earth into a body of water. Every movement of the creatures around is like a body of water.

Water leaves a trace, and she can easily sense the enemy's movements by observing the watermarks.

A long, shimmering curtain of water descended before Mo Fan, momentarily deflecting the vampire Sion's claws.

In that instant, Mo Fan changed his magic, leaving the shadow puppet in place while he himself fled.

Bai Mo narrowed his eyes as he stared at the spot where Mo Fan had appeared, while Lingling exclaimed in surprise:

"Be careful!"

Without needing any warning, the sudden chill in his dark veins already made Mo Fan sense the danger.

The rocks and soil shifted and transformed into a round shield that enveloped him. The next moment, a strange claw with eerie crimson patterns shattered the rock shield and reached out to grab him.

The silver light around Mo Fan shattered, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.

When it reappeared, it was already next to Lingling, and the two of them looked at the figure.

From the shadows, a red figure gradually appeared before the two.

"Lu Kun!!"

Lingling said in a deep voice.

Lu Kun finally showed up, but he was neither timid nor worried because this was a large factory where humans lived. It was as if the nearly 10,000 employees in the workers' dormitory had nothing to do with him, and he could decide the life and death of the people here at will.

It seems that this place is his kingdom, and his appearance is to punish those who do not follow the rules and break the rules!

"Looks like we've found that little thief."

Lu Kun walked up, staring at Mo Fan and gazing at the beads around his neck.

"Now that you know the secret of the Evil Pearl, things will be much easier. Consider this half-ripe Evil Pearl fruit a small gift from me."

"What do you mean?" Mo Fan didn't quite understand.

"Don't you crave power? I can give you anything you want. The entire Kyushu is so vast, its resources are inexhaustible. Why make a big fuss over such a small place as Pingwang Valley? If you like it, I'll give it to you."

Lu Kun appeared very generous, even somewhat seductive, as he invited and gave his speech.

"We can join forces to create a larger, more magnificent, and more productive Pingwang Valley. In this chaotic world, human life is worthless, but we can keep them alive. All we ask for is a few petty evil thoughts."

Isn't this a good thing? Isn't it more noble, benevolent, and selfless than those who talk about charitable foundations but actually line their own pockets?

You must understand, in our country, those people only need to put in a little effort and follow the rules to have enough to eat, receive a salary, and get rest, without having to live in constant fear of demons. What a sacred cause that is!

Mo Fan sneered, "You've got the wrong person."

"What do you mean?"

Lu Kun frowned, and then noticed that Mo Fan was standing behind the man in black armor.

This indicates that the person in charge is also the one causing him trouble.

The person covered in armor was too mysterious, and Lu Kun didn't know who he was either, but his explanation remained unchanged.

"It's alright, sir, my invitation is still valid, even if you look down on those evil beads. But the value that controlling such a vast and perfect kingdom can create is something I can offer you."

"A demon is a demon; it has no humanity!"

Humanity may need saving, and society may need a better future, but it doesn't need you evil spirits like you!

The clear, crisp voice, penetrating the armor, carried a more resounding quality, making it all the more authoritative, as if she were truly a female general rebuking the enemy's evil deeds on the battlefield.

Lu Kun's face darkened, but before he could continue speaking, the earth roared loudly, and the armored man shattered the ground with one foot, suddenly appearing in front of him.

"Vortex Cannon!"

Lingling raised her fist upwards, and a powerful current of water condensed and compressed on her fist, like an ocean vortex, emitting a strong suction force that directly locked onto Lu Kun's body.

The fist swung down, slamming hard into Lu Kun's raised arm.

Click!

With a crisp sound, the fist shattered the blood-stained arm.

Lu Kun's entire arm was being crushed against his chest by a powerful punch.

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

He hissed in a low voice, his arm rapidly closing, and his other hand rose up as a claw. Just then, the heavy fist that was pressing down on his arm gleamed slightly.

In an instant, it was as if a giant beast from the deep sea burst out from his fist. Lu Kun's expression changed drastically, as if he had been hit by a high-speed train. He was suddenly sent flying backward, rolling hundreds of meters and crashing into two factories.

Fortunately, it was noon, and there were not many people in the factory workshop. Most of them had taken refuge in the workers' dormitories, which were located deeper inside, during the fighting.

Seeing that Lingling had ambushed and knocked Lu Kun away, the vampire Sion immediately took action. Countless blood threads flew out from his body, forming ferocious blood beasts that tore and trampled towards Lingling.

"Your opponent is me."

Mo Fan suddenly appeared in front of these blood beasts, blocking them all.

Lingling then pushed off the ground again and charged towards Lu Kun.

The black armor moved with lightning speed, ruthlessly smashing through the workshop.

Bai Mo's eyebrows twitched as he looked up, wondering if he should give Lingling a more elegant and flowing suit of armor.

If things continue like this, he feels that Lingling will become a female tyrant.

Another roar echoed through the workshop as the blood-red figure crashed through the ceiling and floated in the air.

Lu Kun's shoulder was completely shattered, with pale bones protruding from his body and blood gushing out.

"Damn it, what the hell is that?!"

Heaven knows, with his demonic body, he was actually inferior to a human wearing magical artifacts in terms of strength and defense.

"That thing will kill you!"

Lingling leaped onto the roof, looked at Lu Kun, and slightly bent her knees.

"I know who you are."

Upon hearing the voice again, Lu Kun's eyes flashed. As he distanced himself from Lingling, he spoke in a hoarse, low voice, his tone sinister:

"The little girl who was with Mo Fan, your name is Leng Lingling, right?"

Speaking of which, several years ago there was a guy with asexuality who kept pestering me, and I eventually killed him. You have no idea how beautiful his eyes were before he died—so full of longing, sadness, pain, guilt, and hatred for me.

Lingling paused slightly as she gathered her strength, while Lu Kun continued.

"I like his two emotions after that: guilt. It's probably guilt searching for me, since he wouldn't have died if he hadn't done that, hahaha!!" (End of Chapter)
