Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

My sister said, "I plan to renew the Nebula Magic Device for another half a year, for three million."

It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. She has long been accustomed to the rapid growth of her cultivation. If she is given another month or two, her wind element will be able to break through to level two!

Lu Jun agreed with this. Money is something outside of one's body. Now that they are all in a period of rising prosperity, they cannot afford to be frugal.

Finally, the two went home to wash up and practiced on the sofa.

Buzz!

Lu Jun's spirit probed into the White Tiger Pendant. On the blood lake, some light spots floated up and down, but only a complete slave-level spirit shone the brightest. He hunted two den demon wolves, collected hundreds of residual souls, and synthesized the spirit again.

He carefully guided the faint blue candlelight into the spiritual world. At this time, the golden stardust had expanded to the extreme, and the outer layer of the platinum light ball was tightly wrapped with a faint light film.

This means that the initial stage has reached its end. Breaking through this layer of hazy light curtain will turn stardust into nebula and advance to the intermediate stage.

Lu Jun has been grinding for a long time during this period, and the light film seems very thin and shaky. The next step is to use the help of the spirit to achieve a breakthrough.

To be honest, it is very rare for someone to obtain a dual-system breakthrough with natural resources like Mo Fan, and most of them just waste their time like this.

Those children of aristocratic families who had intermediate cultivation and mastered magic right after entering the academy, apart from the time it took to break through and control the stars, reached the peak of the primary level by the end of the second year of high school.

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for Lu Jun to break through in the middle of his sophomore year at this stage. Maybe Mu Ningxue will also reach the middle stage at this age.

Soon, the spirit merged into a platinum star, causing it to expand several times in an instant. Seven stars flickered in a cloud of stardust, three of which were high in the sky, getting closer and closer to the basic fourth-level magic.

Rumble!

A ball of platinum light within a layer of light curtain was silently brewing a certain edge. When it reached a certain level, it suddenly exploded. A long sword seal inside it rang and soared into the sky.

With a swish sound, the light curtain was completely cut through, and the sword opened up the sky in the endless dark universe, creating a brighter [Platinum Nebula].

The size of the original platinum light ball suddenly increased by seven or eight times, and forty-nine stars emerged, like a galaxy floating in it, brilliant and dazzling.

Lu Jun only felt a sharp pain in his head, and a powerful magical power surged out from deep within him, constantly expanding the boundaries of his mind. His thoughts and mental power seemed to become real and became much stronger.

Outside, the young man was shining with platinum light, and his sharp aura swept across the living room and courtyard.

Lu Mei, who was meditating, felt a tingling sensation on her skin. She was terrified and quickly woke up. She looked at her brother and couldn't help but smile: "Intermediate level mage, seventeen years old."

When Lu Jun opened his eyes, they were full of sharpness, and ordinary people did not dare to look at them. He heard his sister say gently: "Congratulations."

"Hehe." Lu Jun couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, feeling happy in his heart. Just now, the White Tiger Pendant sent another message, which was an intermediate-level gold magic named [Imperial Weapon].

Level 1 is flying the sword! Using the magnetism of metal throughout the planet, you can control the heavy sword of Zhenjin to move freely, and take a person's head from a hundred steps away as easily as taking something out of a bag.

The most important thing is the gold-based achievement nebula. The initial size and golden light effect have been greatly improved. The Zhenjin can expand up to nine times, one meter three times nine, which is approximately equal to twelve meters, and at least one meter wide.

Lu Jun immediately thought of various ways to play. Look, the sword can fly, and the person standing on it is Li Xiaoyao flying on the sword, right?

Ahem, this wave advances from Wind Swordsman!

Of course, it's a little less impressive than the immortal hero's way of combining his body with the sword and transforming into sword light that soars into the sky, but it's still pretty cool. Besides, this is only the intermediate level, so what's the point of doing that?

And there is no need to worry about people being afraid of heights when standing on it. The Xiaoshan heavy sword, which is bigger than the president’s bed, can easily pull a cart... or a person with the sword.

It was equivalent to that Lu Jun at the intermediate level had mastered the air superiority. He remembered that the intermediate water magic [Violent Wave] was undoubtedly a means of long-range attack. It was amazing that the two systems were so well matched from the elementary to the intermediate levels.

"I originally thought that the size had a mediocre effect, but I didn't expect it to be so varied when combined with the [Control Weapon] magic."

"There are two more modes. One can shrink nine times and become a ray of sword light, which can kill gods and ghosts. The other can grow nine times bigger and fly a sword, which can smash down from the sky. Even a general-level warrior will be pierced through the body and die on the spot."

Lu Jun was excited, he felt that there were many more ways to play, not to mention flying on a sword and coming and going freely.

He hasn't been able to fully grasp the stars yet, so he doesn't know the specific effects and range of the control weapon. He will know when the time comes.

Besides, this is only the first intermediate level. The second and third levels will have very practical skills and are worth looking forward to.

"I just feel that it is more restrained by the middle-level thunder-type [Thunderbolt]. A bolt of lightning falling from the sky makes a person flying a sword in the sky a sitting duck. We have to find a way to restrain it."

Lu Jun touched his chin. In fact, metal was not restrained by thunder. For example, he could make use of its conductive properties and abandon the gold system and only use the lightning protection system.

When the heavy sword is no longer restricted to hand-held, there are more ways to play.

"This is not over yet." Lu Jun remembered again that when his Zhenjin Heavy Sword reached the intermediate level, he could integrate the second metal. By then, it would be greatly improved. It was a magic metal that could add special effects.

Invincible, invincible.

Lu Mei walked up to her brother, looked at the boy with a puzzled look on her pretty face, leaned over and stroked her brother's forehead with her slender hand and said, "What's wrong with you? Are you crazy?"

Chapter 30 Second Awakening

As her sister leaned over, her full curves tensed. Lu Jun stared ahead, and saw a deep cleavage in the dazzling whiteness under the round collar of her beige sweater. His eyelids twitched, and he quickly shook off Lu Mei's hand.

He turned his head to one side and said, "Nothing much, the intermediate gold-level skills are very powerful."

Hearing this, Lu Mei didn't notice her brother's abnormality. She sighed and counted on her fingers: "The gold system needs to fuse another magic metal. Fortunately, it's just the materials. It will cost about 10 million."

"It's just that I can't save this money."

"There's no rush for magic metal." Lu Jun regained his composure and said thoughtfully, "I only have one layer of effect [Solidity] now. The second effect needs to be lethal. There's no rush to choose."

After being promoted to the intermediate level, his natal magic tool was also nourished. Forty-nine stars gathered together, and the power of gold magic all relied on this sword. The original solidity effect was improved. It was indestructible from the advanced commander to the sub-monarch now.

"Yeah." Lu Mei nodded and said, "You'll be going to college soon. You'll be exposed to some magic tool laboratories and have more connections than I do. You can choose any type you want."

Then she bit her lip and asked, "What system do you want to awaken at the intermediate level?"

"I am a soul, a curse, or a ghost."

Lu Jun already had a plan in mind. He was more inclined to awaken the mind + other things at the intermediate level, because after his research on these three systems, he found that there would be many opportunities in the future. Each of them had different uses, and if they were well developed, they might not be worse than Mo Fan's Thunder and Fire.

Especially the psychic system. After traveling for a year and a half, some parts of his original memory became blurred. After awakening a mind and looking through the lower levels of memory in his mind, there will be no omissions.

And even though the psychic system has no combat power below the high level, it is actually a bug-level magic system.

First of all, it is invincible in a one-on-one duel between mages, and is strong against all magic systems. The most fundamental point is that it can prevent you from casting magic and interrupt the connection between stars.

Without magic, isn't a wizard just an ordinary human being?

Lu Jun was deeply impressed. Mo Fan was severely defeated almost every time he encountered a psychic mage. Although he always won in the end, the process was the most frustrating. If he didn't have psychic magic tools and teammates, he would be helpless.

Secondly, it can avoid the hostility of demons, and after reaching a high level of cultivation, it can even control demons, making it the king of survival in the wild.

Lu Jun's gold talent can be barely hidden at the intermediate level, but it will probably be very conspicuous at the advanced level, and people will see at a glance that it is not just a magic tool.

By then, he will have three plans, A, B, and C. It would be best if Plan A is hidden and invincible, with the support of the country so that no one dares to move. Then Plan B is exposed in advance, relying on the mediation of various forces, and Plan C is the backup. If I can't stay here, I will find another way to stay.

To join the great demon and live in the empire, to achieve this, one must have a soul, so that one can communicate with the demon monarch. An empire like the Kunlun Empire is quite friendly to humans, while an empire as cruel as the Baimu Empire will not mind a traitor.

Anyway, just stay alive and then think about the bigger plans.

Of course, Lu Jun would not choose plan C unless he had no other choice. After all, he still has a sister, and it would be better for him to live in the human world. But if he pushes others too far, don't blame him for revenge by any means necessary.

Lu Mei didn't know what her brother was thinking, so she frowned and said, "These three zodiac signs are so unpopular, it's hard for you to ask seniors for advice, and it's hard to improve them. Why not try the elemental zodiac sign? The shadow zodiac sign is also fine, you also have one less displacement."

"I have the gold and water elements. The elements of lightning, fire, and other elements overlap. I don't lack displacement now. What I lack is control. The mind is the perfect fit."

Lu Jun still insisted on his own route. He knew that the mental system was different from elemental magic. There was no such thing as spirit seeds and soul seeds. The strengthening route was not fixed, and it was very likely that a very strange and difficult skill tree would be revealed.

In the late stage, any strong man who does not have some ability beyond the inherent magic system would be embarrassed to brag.

"Forget it, whatever you want."

Lu Mei said helplessly: "Let's go to the Magic Association to awaken."

The two of them went out and headed straight for the landmark of Bo City, the Silver Trade Building. On the one hand, this high-rise building is the tallest and most luxurious building in the city, standing out from the crowd. Many institutions are located there, and the underground is also hidden the Holy Spring, the most precious treasure of Bo City.

On the other hand... Lu Jun stood in front of the gate, looking up at the building. The shadow covering the sky was cast, and there was really a sense of oppression.

He remembered that a year and a half later, a pack of one-eyed demon wolves invaded. A commander-level Winged Wolf occupied the building, looking down on all living beings with an arrogant attitude. Demons were dancing wildly below, and it seemed as if the building had become a devil's nest. It was a famous scene.

Lu Jun was filled with emotion, thinking that things would probably be different this time with him around.

As soon as the siblings entered the entrance of the association in the Silver Trade Building, the female assistant came up to greet them and said with a smile, "Dear guests, is there anything you would like to do?"

As they dealt with spirits here one after another, the Magic Association directly raised their levels to the highest level.

Lu Mei got straight to the point and said, "Awakening magic, personnel confidentiality, take me to the special box."

Hearing this, the female assistant nodded and agreed without meddling in other people's business. She smiled and said, "Please come this way, you two. Because of your privilege, awakening is free."

Lu Jun was surprised, getting something for free was the best thing.

Soon, a simple silver secret room full of technological style appeared, with a star map standing on it. Special awakening stones had been placed on it as required, a transparent crystal representing the mind system, and a black stone representing the undead or curse.

There is no need to say much about the former. The latter curses the undead to be inseparable. The undead are derived from the curse, and finally they multiplied to the peak before splitting out and becoming an independent system.

He sees people’s awakening and can accept both.

"Please make yourselves at ease." The female assistant left quietly and closed the door.

At his sister's urging, Lu Jun took a deep breath, stood in front of the star disk, touched it with both hands, closed his eyes, and began his second awakening.

Buzz!

After a while, he felt a strange magical energy transmitted from his hands and gathered in his mind.

In the infinitely dark spiritual world, nothing seems to have changed.

Lu Jun felt a strange sensation in his mind and looked towards the corner next to the azure and platinum galaxies. A small transparent stardust appeared, and seven translucent stars were floating up and down, almost blending into the background.

Psychic awakening!

Then, behind the transparent stardust, a hint of black and red emerged. If the former was full of peace, the latter was ominous.

In the spiritual world, the gold nebula is the most vast and brightest, firmly occupying the center, followed by the water stardust on the side, and finally these two pieces of stardust.

"This is... a curse!"

It took Lu Jun a while to recognize it. He was secretly delighted and nodded with satisfaction. Not to mention Zhankong, he was very skilled in using the curse system. He was the strongest in his ancestral home, and it was related to his close combat path.

In the future, there is a super-class [Cursed Body Borrowing Technique], which is the only way in the original novel to obtain a demon-level perverted body with a human body. (It is a forbidden technique of the ancestral family, but I think it is probably impossible to achieve such a perverted effect without the participation of super-class magic.)

A mid-level weapon does not mean that he has given up on close combat, but the more he advances, the larger the bodies of the demons he commands and monarchs become, comparable to Godzilla's system, and his own physique must also catch up.

Just imagine, with a monarch-level body and gold-based lethality, there’s nothing wrong with cosplaying as the Lord of Darkness.

Chapter 31: Spiritual Realm

Seeing this scene, Lu Mei was surprised and said, "The second curse system is not bad. The initial and intermediate levels have amazing lethality in the early stages and are hard to defend against. It is also a powerful control skill that you lack."

Lu Jun at the side smiled and nodded, feeling the two pieces of stardust of mind and curse in his heart. It seemed that his spiritual thoughts became tangible and concrete, awakening some strange abilities.

However, this would require some slow exploration later on. He could roughly guess that it was nothing more than [mental power cultivation]. What his sister said about 'not knowing how to improve the unpopular magic system' was not a problem at all in his opinion.

Because no one knows magic better than him!

The power of dimensional magic's [Space], [Summoning], [Sound], [Chaos], white magic's [Mind], and black magic's [Curse] all depend on the level of the spirit.

It is divided into [nine realms] in total, from realm one to realm nine.

The bonus given to magic by the first three realms is equivalent to spirit seeds, the middle three realms are equivalent to soul seeds, and the last three major realms are even more invincible.

So as long as Lu Jun's mental state is improved, the two departments can enjoy the bonus at the same time, saving worry and trouble.

By then, his basic mind/curse magic will be able to achieve the same effects as other people's mid-level or even high-level magic.

This happens to be the advantage of being born with two systems. With more magic skills, one's mental strength is naturally twice that of others.

Lu Jun's current mental power is already infinitely close to the first realm. Once the water system breaks through to the intermediate level, he will enter the first realm of mental power.

Even so, in the original work, he remembered that Mo Fan was at the high level of dual systems, and his mental strength realm was at the end of the second realm, so although it seemed simple, it was actually quite difficult.

In the year and a half after the second year of high school, Lu Jun did not plan to focus on the two systems of mind curse. He just wanted to master the basic magic and reach the third level.

In the remaining time, he had to control the mid-level gold-type stars, and he had another half year to break through to the mid-level water-type, and then he had to control the stars again. All in all, time was quite tight.

After Lu Jun woke up, he stepped out of the Yinmao Building, and the two of them went home talking and laughing.

Little did they know that not long after they left, Mo Fan, who went by the alias Fan Mo, walked into the Monster Hunting Alliance Hall on the first floor and began looking for city monster hunting teams to join, a little earlier than the original timeline.

After seeing the gap, Mo Fan decided to catch up.

As expected, he finally joined Caichang's team. At the same time, he heard the famous names of Lu Mei and Lu Jun, the brother and sister, and the pressure increased again.

Lu Jun was not aware of this. He spent the rest of the winter vacation immersed in controlling the gold stars.

I just managed to connect two star tracks before returning to school, and there are still five tracks to draw the star map.

During this period, he also took some time to control his newly awakened [Mind] and [Curse]. With his rich experience and improved mental will, he might be able to release basic magic in a month or two.
