Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

Then a nickname spread, Lu Rentu!

Everyone at Mingzhu University agrees that he is a lunatic. Even the children of aristocratic families are wary of him. They get more information... about the curse department.

Dean Xiao looked at this wave of public opinion manipulation, smiled but said nothing, and left after the matter was done. The students of the academy still lacked a sense of urgency, and Lu Jun's small shock came at the right time.

Chapter 63 Capture and Reward

Lu Jun didn't know that he had caused such a huge response. Before he even entered the academy, he was already feared and dreaded by all the students of Mingzhu.

If he knew, he wouldn't care. He would rather it be so. Showing his claws and creating a madman persona has too many benefits. In this world, good people are bullied, while those with bad personalities get better treatment.

When Lu Mei and Ye Ying arrived at the abandoned factory, they gasped when they saw corpses with their eyes wide open all over the floor.

When they walked in, they saw a young man sitting cross-legged on a chair in the darkness. Next to him was a pool of black curse. His left foot was on Yu Ang's head which was soaked in the pool.

When Lu Mei saw her brother, she immediately stepped forward, gave him a gentle hug, and said in a soft voice, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Lu Jun left his sister's embrace awkwardly and said to the winged man behind him, "You are Nighthawk, right? I heard Judge Tang mention you."

Nighthawk nodded, forced a stiff smile and said, "Mr. Lu from the Battle of Bo City, I have long heard of your great name."

Now the loss to Bo City is not big, but it has become promotional material that the authorities can show off.

"It's just an empty reputation." Lu Jun smiled politely, and when he stood up, he kicked Yu Ang, who was like a dead dog, away.

He gestured, "I have already extracted information from his head. There is a blue-robed deacon in the Magic City. The address is... If you don't believe me, you can ask a professional mind mage."

Hearing this, Nighthawk suddenly became serious and immediately made a phone call to the Trial Council to assign tasks and take action.

Seeing Lu Jun's astonishment, he smiled and said, "Of course I believe in a city guardian, and you made such a big noise, we can barely seal it off tonight. If we don't act quickly and wait until tomorrow morning, I'm afraid it will be leaked, and the blue-clothed deacon will have run away long ago."

Lu Jun nodded, feeling strange inside, as if he was playing a game. He guarded Bo City and obtained a badge [Bo City Sword Immortal]. Wearing it on his head, it shone with golden light and had a +10 reputation function. When encountering any official wizard, his persuasiveness would increase by 50.

Afterwards, the mages of the Inquisition arrived one after another and began to torture Yu Ang for information. After verification, they sent out teams of judges to start pulling out all the rats in the gutter.

Even Nighthawk left in a hurry, saying that he had caught the trail of the blue-clad butler.

The operation lasted from the late night until dawn.

Lu Jun and his sister stayed in the abandoned factory until Tang Yue hurried over and said angrily, "Why are you so reckless? Wait until everyone is here."

It was only a few days since they last met. Seeing Tang Yue's beautiful face full of fatigue, Lu Jun was touched as he rushed over after a long journey. He said, "Thank you very much. This kind of Black Church must be killed ruthlessly, otherwise it will haunt us forever."

"Tsk, several lives are not enough for you." Tang Yue raised her hand and patted Lu Jun's head affectionately. She looked at Lu Mei with her bright and beautiful eyes and said, "You are not at all relieved to have such a brother."

Lu Mei showed a helpless yet doting expression and said, "He has had his own ideas since he was young. What can I do about it?"

Seeing this, although Lu Jun felt very touched by the care of the two sisters, there was something wrong with this situation. The two of them had only known each other for a short time, but how come they were so familiar with each other, like best friends.

Soon Lu Mei turned around, took Tang Yue's hand and raised her eyebrows and said, "This is Sister Tang Yue. She will be your sister from now on. Show her some respect."

Tang Yue chuckled, like a seductive fox, stretched out her jade hand to press Lu Jun's head, ruffled his hair, and said fiercely: "Did you hear me? From now on, I will also be your sister, you must respect me from the bottom of your heart."

Lu Jun heard the hidden meaning and told them not to tell anyone about what happened in Xishui Town. It was a naked threat.

He curled his lips, not knowing what kind of love potion she had given to her sister.

After a while, the sky brightened up, and Nighthawk came back tiredly. He smiled at Lu Jun and said, "Very good, we caught a blue-clothed deacon. Maybe we can find Saran by following the clues."

Lu Jun just needs to listen to this. The cardinal is not that easy to catch. In the original book, so many blue-robed deacons were arrested, but Saran was still not caught.

However, being able to deal with the blue-clad butler in the Magic City a year and a half in advance also reduced a lot of unnecessary sacrifices.

Nighthawk said sincerely, "Thank you so much this time. The government will give you a reward. You know that the reward offered by the Inquisition is 120 million for the head of a blue-robed deacon and 20 million for the head of a gray-robed priest. The former will get at least 20 million, and the latter will get 40 million."

When Lu Jun heard about the tangible reward, his eyes suddenly lit up. In fact, the original book was also priced at this price, and most people felt that it was too little.

After all, fighting with the Black Church is too dangerous.

Seeing Lu Jun's money-obsessed look, Tang Yue pushed him and said angrily, "Don't be blinded by money. You risk your life for it. Just study hard and practice in college. Don't get involved in this."

I don't know if it was the joint action of Xishui Town that allowed Tang Yue to get closer to Lu Jun. Although it was not a romantic relationship, she regarded Lu Jun as a younger brother.

He nodded in response: "Got it."

Seeing Lu Jun's puzzled expression, Lu Mei covered her mouth and chuckled, saying faintly, "It's good this way. There is someone who can take care of you. It's getting harder and harder for me to take care of you as you grow up."

Lu Jun had just finished dealing with one person when he heard his sister's long and resentful words. His scalp tingled. He knew that Lu Mei was also angry. She was blaming him for acting impulsively and also blaming herself for not paying attention to protecting her brother.

So he quickly held his sister's fair and slender hand and nodded, "It's okay, I won't do it again next time."

Lu Mei felt her hand being held, wrapped in warmth, her face flushed, and she said nothing more.

At this moment, Lu Jun felt troubled, but he didn't know that the official wizard next to him saw it and was so jealous and envious that he couldn't speak. Who doesn't want to have two beautiful sisters to comfort him after encountering an assassination?

They think Lu Jun is the winner in life.

Nighthawk still had that cold expression on his face, unaware of such a situation.

Instead, Lu Jun asked, "Have you taken out all the information about Yu Ang?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Lu Jun walked up to Yu Ang, who was already foaming at the mouth and had a silly look on his face, and said, "To cut the grass, you must remove the roots."

Pfft!

As soon as he finished speaking, the black gold flying sword shot out from his hand and pierced directly through Yu Ang's head, splashing red and white juice.

Everyone looked at him sideways, unable to help but feel terrified. The young man had a cold expression and was decisive in killing. He no longer had the image of a well-behaved boy in front of his sister just now. Also... Anyone who dares to go against the Black Church is a ruthless character.

A year and a half later in the original timeline, Mo Fan failed to kill Yu Ang, allowing him to escape by chance. A few years later, he caused trouble again and threatened Mo Fan's father and family.

Lu Jun learned this lesson. The dead Black Church is always the good Black Church. Xu Zhaoting will probably have a happy life in the future.

The matter ended here. Lu Jun packed up the Cursed Pool and took it away. The Inquisition did not say anything, even when the imperial court came to express their condolences. A hero who fought against the Black Church was assassinated by his own men. He must give an explanation.

Chapter 64: Intermediate Curse

A few days later, Yuang's matter was settled.

However, various versions of the story were circulated among the residents of Shanghai. Fortunately, the Tribunal came forward and gave an explanation, which calmed the situation.

This incident only caused a stir on the Internet, and only a very small number of people on the Internet saw something from some blurry videos.

"Hey, isn't this wizard who killed the Black Church the man from Bo City? They look a bit like him."

"I heard that he seems to be the new generation of Mingzhu, a killer of the next generation, a ruthless character, I don't know."

Unfortunately, even if some people talked about it, it did not cause much waves. After only a few weeks, the heat of the Battle of Bo City died down. Of course, the people of Jiuzhou all remember this incident, and when it is mentioned again at a certain point in time, their memories will be quickly revived.

Lu Jun soon received a grant from the municipal government, a full 50 million yuan. With the addition of his original savings of 20 million yuan, he was unknowingly not far from the Galaxy Vein.

As expected, if I were to be reborn in the world of law, all I had to do was fight against the Black Church, which was the fastest way to make money.

Even her sister Lu Mei was surprised, and said frankly that even if she had gathered all the skills, she would still need to polish them for a while. After all, the Galaxy Vein was not a 100% guarantee of advancement, and it would be better to reach a critical point for a breakthrough.

Afterwards, Lu Jun packed up the Cursed Pool and took it to Mingzhu Academy, hoping to rely on Dean Xiao to find someone to deal with it. By the way, it was time to find suitable metal magic.

In the college office, Dean Xiao adjusted his glasses and said with a gentle smile: "I heard about your situation. Be careful. Although you haven't officially entered the school yet, I still want to say that Mingzhu is proud of you."

Lu Jun was flattered: "Thank you, Dean Xiao, for your kindness."

"Hahaha, there's no need to be so restrained. I'll find someone to get your cursed substance. It will be in my hands in a week at most."

Dean Xiao smiled and said, "By the way, I have to thank you for encouraging the students of Mingzhu?"

After he finished speaking, Lu Jun's forehead darkened. He naturally joined various group chats of Mingzhu. Seeing the title of Lu Rentu widely publicized on the forum, he felt full of shame. He was not even as good as Lu Jianxian.

Before he even entered Mingzhu, the students of Mingzhu had memorized his appearance and were treating him as a formidable enemy.

"Okay, wait for good news."

Lu Jun left the academy and returned home. His sister was also practicing hard. Due to the unexpected incident, the two did not dare to leave until the school started, and decided to wait until the storm passed.

The monster hunting mission has been temporarily stopped, but of course the collection of intelligence is still ongoing.

Not long after, someone from the academy came and handed Lu Jun a sealed glass measuring cup and explained its use.

"Cursed substance, [Curse Seal]!"

Lu Jun held the measuring cup in his hand, and a strange dark green mist was flowing inside, wriggling as if it had some kind of spirituality.

The so-called dark matter and cursed matter are a bit like contracted beasts. They are just microorganisms without spirituality and act based on instinct. They grow with magic as their bond.

The effect of [Curse] is extremely crude and simple. Any enemy hit by a curse skill will be marked with the curse. If you don't consume magic energy to erase it immediately, the curse will gradually deepen over time.

During this process, the body of the person being cursed will also be eroded by the curse, the pain will deepen, and he will suffer continuous corrosive damage. When the damage accumulates for a certain period of time, Lu Jun can choose to detonate the curse, causing huge damage to the soul and body.

Even if they don't die, they will suffer great sequelae, such as large-scale festering and corrosion, shortened lifespan, strange changes in limbs, etc., similar to the black beast.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, isn't this cursed substance stronger than the best spirit seeds? The originally useless Haze of Fear finally has a great use, and each curse magic will speed up the penetration of the 'curse'."

Seeing this, Lu Jun was overjoyed, and the Curse Department really stood up.

And it's not just the haze of fear. The mid-level evil spider trap is terrifying. It marks a group of people, controls a large area, and causes double damage in a large area. The soul is sucked by the evil spider and the body is corroded by the curse.

Even if you manage to escape, you will still face the final beheading.

Moreover, his attack method is completely different from Jinshui's. It is a strange and difficult method, which is very effective against enemies with thick skin and flesh. It is difficult for ordinary mages to detect the curse mark, and even if they find it, it is difficult to remove it.

After Lu Jun obtained the cursed substance, he immediately went into seclusion to practice.

Lu Mei, who was standing by, caught a glimpse of this scene, smiled and ignored it.

Buzz!

Inside the room, Lu Jun opened the bottle, and a wisp of dark green smoke rose up, flowing smoothly from his fingers into the spiritual world, carrying with it a majestic and ominous curse energy.

He was immersed in cultivation when the black and red cursed stardust suddenly poured into the dark green smoke, quickly spreading and infecting the seven stars, and accompanied by powerful energy, impacted a layer of light film barrier.

One point... two points... three points, the loopholes were corroded more and more.

After a while, the barrier became broken, and it was instantly broken with a slight impact of thought.

Rumble, the stardust began to expand like a balloon, expanding seven or eight times in the blink of an eye, and the seven stars instantly turned into forty-nine stars.

The curse system is promoted to intermediate level!

In addition, Lu Jun exuded an ominous aura all over his body. His skin was slightly pale. When he opened his eyes, they reflected a dark green substance that flowed slowly, as if some strange creature was locked inside.

Waves of cold energy spread out, turning the bedroom into a haunted house, covered in a faint green light.

Lu Jun raised his left hand, and a complex and strange dark green pattern spread across his fair wrist, representing the cursed substance, the curse seal.

"Dark magic, carrying a curse, using a curse?"

He muttered to himself that using the curse also had a side effect, which was that he would also be eroded. However, because this curse was not too strong and the cost was very small, it could be basically ignored.

Coupled with the physical strengthening brought by the tide of water spirit species, he was barely immune.

Lu Jun remembered what Zhan Kong had taught him. The curse system relied on mental bonuses and was not used to fight against mages, but to fight against the curse that one carried.

The more powerful the curse is, the more powerful the curse wizard will be.

Legend has it that there is a scarecrow curse. Every time the curse wizard hurts himself, the enemy will suffer more serious damage. It is a tactic that hurts the enemy by a thousand but hurts himself by eight hundred.

There are also vampire curses, which make one afraid of holy light but strengthen the body. There are also ghost curses, which make one exist in reality as a spirit, immortal, but the price is that others can no longer see you.

There is also a curse from the Egyptian pharaoh, where one is turned into a mummy, immortal but no longer human.

Lian Zu's curse of borrowing the body technique is essentially a curse. To put it bluntly, it is similar to the Ma family immortals in the Northeast area, who are both good and evil and invite gods to possess them.

The price is the lowest among many powerful curses, and the cost-effectiveness is excellent. As long as the spiritual realm is strong enough to control the demon soul and restrain the animal nature, you can always control it.

That's why the Zu family can stand out and take the lead. Of course, the members of the clan who have not practiced enough have somewhat stupid personalities, such as the few Zu family members mentioned below.

In comparison, Lu Jun's curse is really a piece of cake. Its power can crush people of the same age, but it is still a long way from the great masters in society.

But he was already satisfied.

Chapter 65 Going to College

In the blink of an eye, it is September and the school season has begun.

Lu Jun and his sister have been silent for a month and a half. Ever since he broke through the intermediate level of the curse system, he has been concentrating on mastering the stars. With two experiences, he can now release the stars with difficulty, but the casting speed is very slow.
