Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

After the defeat of the Imperial Capital University, the relevant news immediately spread throughout the forums among universities. Everyone was shocked. The top university in the country did not expect to suffer a Waterloo in Mingzhu.

They saw the information of the members of the Imperial Capital Academy. Each of them majored in the intermediate level two, and each of them had a full set of magic tools and spirit seeds. Their strength was shockingly powerful, and they couldn't help but wonder which warrior could defeat this group of monsters.

With Lu Jun's fame, he was immediately recognized.

"It turned out to be Lu Rentu, Lord Lu! No wonder... the imperial capital has bad luck this year."

"His natural talent doubles his magic power, but it doesn't have much effect on his cultivation and magic power. He ranks tenth on this year's natural talent list, but he is actually recognized as the most powerful fighter in this year."

"I watched the video and it made me laugh to death. The Imperial Capital Academy was defeated in just two or three moves. Lu Ren didn't even use up much of his demon-killing energy. It seems like he didn't even use up his natural talent."

In the Colosseum, Mu Tingying and the others were too embarrassed to stay any longer, so they had a friendly match with the Southern Academy. They released their pent-up anger with overwhelming force, quickly defeated the opponent, and quickly returned to the apartment.

Li Kaifeng and Zhou Xu were silent, feeling the huge gap and feeling unconvinced. Apart from the two of them, the other teammates were not as good as Jiang Yu, Nan Rongni and the like, and it was not their fault.

Then, in the last game, Lu Jun led the team to easily defeat the Southern Academy.

He saw Zhou Xu and the other man looking a little downcast and shook his head. Although they were selected for the Guofu team, they gradually fell out of touch during the long process of training and elimination, and eventually became substitutes in the Venice competition held every four years.

Anyway, the exchange competition ended, Mingzhu won the first place, and Lu Jun still had two hidden titles.

After the battle, Ding Yumian stretched lazily. The white dress outlined her slender waist and plump chest, giving her a demeanor like a slender branch bearing abundant fruit.

She was just paddling throughout the battle, defending one person alone, but no one noticed anything strange about it. At most, she was just an outstanding psychic mage.

Lu Jun took the two universities away smoothly without breaking a sweat, with his hands in his pockets, looking invincible. All seven members of the Guofu team had been beaten by him. Who would refuse to obey when they meet again? They had to recognize him as the leader!

Then he signaled to everyone and said, "It's done. Let's go to Dean Xiao's office to get our reward."

Dongfang Ming and Bai Zhengfeng smiled with ease.

……

On the other side, Dean Xiao was on the phone, listening to the enviable words of the Imperial Capital Principal: "Your Mingzhu Academy has produced a good seedling this year. Are you planning to prepare for the battle of the National Academy in three years?"

He smiled and said, "It's no big deal. I think your guys are pretty good too. I'm afraid they can be selected as well."

"Alas." The principal of the Imperial Capital said with a headache: "Don't say anything, not a single commoner's child showed up, all of them are children of aristocratic families. You have learned about their character this time. If this continues, the school will be controlled by the powerful."

Hearing this, Dean Xiao shook his head and said nothing. Mingzhu was not much better.

Although magic training requires some talent, resources are also of paramount importance. However, these are controlled by the aristocratic families and are highly monopolized. Now the contradictions are accumulating and will explode sooner or later.

After showing off his results, he put down the phone and heard a knock on the door. Lu Jun and his teammates came running over to ask for a reward.

Seeing this, Dean Xiao didn't care and smiled kindly, "You did a good job and helped Mingzhu win first place. Tell me what reward you want."

Dongfang Ming and Bai Zhengfeng selected a large number of spirit seed fragments, and with the family rewards, they could quickly synthesize a spirit seed. Some people chose a practical mid-level magic tool.

When it was Lu Jun's turn, he couldn't wait to make a request, hoping to obtain a special metal to make extremely powerful demon-slaying tools.

After careful consideration, he decided that the hardness and density brought by the gold-based [Zhenjin] were sufficient. As his cultivation level increased, it would be better if the second metal could bring out the killing power that the gold-based element was best at.

For example, those with real damage, or those that can penetrate defense, or those that pursue the ultimate in sharpness.

Lu Jun looks forward to fusing the new metal and then upgrading to the intermediate level. With his black flying sword, he will be able to threaten ordinary high-level mages and even harm commander-level demons.

Dean Xiao heard such a strange request for the first time and was surprised: "Have you thought about it? Magic tools are very powerful, but the materials used to make magic tools are useless to ordinary people. If you want to customize magic tools, I can contact some people for you."

"Yes, more powerful magic tools are expensive, and the precious materials of powerful magic tools are still affordable. You should try to find more precious metal materials within the amount given by the academy."

Hearing this, Lu Jun admitted it in order to cover up for Jin Xi.

"Okay." Dean Xiao pondered and thought of one thing. Due to Zu Jiming's scandal, the Zu family gave Mingzhu Academy a lot of resource compensation in order to calm the public anger.

It just so happened that the other party mastered an extremely special metal smelting technology, which was used to refine exclusive materials for magic tools for the cursed demon hunting technique. Its characteristics met Lu Jun's requirements and its attributes also matched the curse system.

After listening to Dean Xiao's instructions, Lu Jun went home humming a little tune.

In a flash, a few days passed, and the exchange students from the Imperial Capital Academy and the Southern Academy stayed and will undergo a three-month study experience.

Those in the southern academy were fine and quickly integrated into the society. On the other hand, those in the imperial capital academy were met with a lot of cold stares wherever they went. When they met boys like Zu Jiming, Guan Yu, and Jiang Yu, the students would deliberately cover their chests.

Repeatedly reminding the three men that they are perverts is considered an insult.

It's probably the equivalent of using the fingertip universe on a stick. It's okay once or twice, but if everyone uses it, it takes on a unique ironic meaning.

Anyway, Zu Jiming and Guan Yu couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to leave immediately.

Jiang Yu wanted to cry. He didn't do anything wrong, so why did he get the same treatment?

Of course, exchange students are one thing, but Professor Yuan from the imperial capital is very popular, especially his lectures at the School of Water Resources, which attract many water department students from the main campus to watch.

Chapter 112 Water Course, Training Goal

Lu Jun had heard a little about Professor Yuan, and even Dean Xiao suggested that it was worthwhile to attend his class.

This person is a nationally renowned scholar, his areas of expertise include water monster identification, aquatic animal training and breeding, etc. His cultivation is at an upper-level level, majoring in water and minoring in sound.

Seeing how popular the students were, Lu Jun became curious and decided to go and take a look.

In addition to rich resources, the major departments of the main campus also have very professional professors to teach various theories, and even combat teachers, demon teachers, etc. to teach magic skills. It is a very complete system.

This was Lu Jun's first time going to Water College for classes after entering the main campus... Well, it's definitely not because there are many girls in Water College. Going to class is a way to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful girls!

After fighting for Pearl Academy, what's wrong with enjoying yourself?

Lu Jun stepped into the large classroom exclusive to the Water Academy with a serious mind. At a glance, he saw rows of pretty girls with fair skin and gentle temperament filling the classroom, bringing in a refreshing and soft breath.

All present were water magicians, creating an environment reminiscent of a swimming pool in summer.

"Wow, that person looks familiar, is it Lu Rentu?"

"He came to our Water Department. I thought he was going to the Curse Department, but the resources of the small department are average. It's good to come to the large Water Department."

"A few days ago, those two perverts in the capital were snooping into the girls' dormitory. I saw him stand up for them. He is a really good person."

"Yes, yes, yes, I remember now. He was the one who pursued me relentlessly that day, and he even beat up the exchange students from the Imperial Capital Academy in the exchange competition yesterday. It was really satisfying."

"Hey, hey, hey, haven't you always admired Lu Rentu? Go up and ask for his WeChat."

"Hey, stop talking, keep your voice down."

As soon as Lu Jun came in, he attracted the attention of many girls.

Different from the bold and aggressive fire mages, water mages are somewhat gentle in temperament, and of course have the inner toughness of water. They did not make a fuss, but whispered to each other, glanced at him a few times, and then politely looked away with a bit of shyness.

Seeing this, Lu Jun felt it was beautiful and pleasing to the eyes. He also discovered that the female water mages seemed to have a heart as broad as the sea that embraces everything. It was wonderful, really wonderful.

On the podium was a tall, youthful man with the gentleness and elegance typical of a water mage.

Professor Yuan smiled and did not blame the students for the commotion. He recognized Lu Jun, who was recognized as the strongest person in the university this year. At the same time, the white finless porpoise that he took over the research on was also related to him.

He extended his hand humorously and said, "Master Lu, please take a seat. I dare not teach the class in the Water Academy without you."

"I'm sorry, teacher."

Lu Jun also felt that he had disrupted the class order, so he quickly apologized and ran to the corner to sit down quietly.

Upon seeing this, Professor Yuan nodded, and his impression of Lu Jun greatly increased. Among people with similar abilities, Zu Jiming seemed very inferior. He had the arrogance of a typical genius, acting like he was the best. His subsequent behavior further exposed his character problems.

Oh, I almost forgot, in terms of ability and cultivation, I am not as good as Lu Jun.

Professor Yuan shook his head, forgot about his unhappiness and focused on teaching.

Lu Jun at the back was also listening attentively and was surprised to find that some of the water magic techniques taught were very practical.

For example, the principle of light refraction is used to mislead the enemy's magic deviation, and the natural evaporation of water vapor is used to create a white fog environment to conceal the sound. It will be invincible in combat and assassination, and can confuse the eyes of most generals.

Another example is using the principle of the water circulation array to assist water mages in how to draw water element energy over a large area in a suitable environment, using silk as an axis to connect lines into a surface, or condense a mirror image of water to escape and confuse the enemy.

The first two are quite useful to Lu Jun, especially the technique of creating white mist, which can be used in conjunction with the evil spider trap of the curse system.

The latter two are not something that can be done by the intermediate level, and require extremely high-level control over elements.

He benefited a lot from the class. When he was about to go back to digest what he had learned after class, Professor Yuan called him: "Student Lu, please wait a moment."

"Professor Yuan?" Lu Jun stopped and looked puzzled: "What's the matter?"

"It's about your training and practice, and I'll be leading the team." Professor Yuan said gently, "It's related to the white dolphin you rescued. I have to thank you for this experiment, otherwise it would be impossible."

After he finished speaking, Lu Jun was a little surprised. The former was fine. The three-month field training for exchange students every year was normal, but the goals and tasks were different.

Like a year later, Mo Fan went to Jinlin to investigate the reproduction of the demon tribe, but was caught by Lu Nian and implanted with the demon element.

He was thinking about the rich information revealed by the latter and asked quickly, "Has the taming of the white finless porpoise been successful?"

“Hahaha.” Professor Yuan laughed, “Not that fast yet, but I can say that the progress is smoother than expected. Most of the dolphin and whale monsters are docile, and the white dolphin communicates through sound waves.”

"It just so happened that I was quite knowledgeable about the phonology, so I cracked this communication channel and easily controlled the white finless porpoise and completed the initial domestication."

"We are now planning to increase the number of white dolphins and expand the sample. We want to conduct experiments on taming newly born white dolphins. With the help of mind mages, perhaps we can form a commercial tamed population in two or three generations, and we will be able to form an underwater army soon."

Lu Jun nodded and sighed: "It's good to be of help, and it's not my credit. I wish the support of Speaker Meng, Master Goldman, and even the Hunter Army mages who are fighting on the front line during the flood season are working hard to protect it."

Professor Yuan held up his glasses and smiled, "Well, so your training mission this time is very simple, to protect the reproduction of white finless porpoises."

? Lu Jun had a puzzled look on his face. After listening to the other party's explanation, he realized that the matter was not simple. In order to find a suitable environment to give birth every year, the white dolphin monster will migrate from the mouth of the Yangtze River, migrating a route of tens of thousands of kilometers to reach the designated location.

During the process, not to mention the physical problems, you will also encounter interceptions from demon tribes along various sections of the river. After all, the demons will treat the takeaway delivered to their doorstep as blood food, which is very dangerous.

The migration pattern of the white finless porpoise is not the only one among the monsters. Many aquatic monsters have a similar migration pattern. The scene of the monster migration from February to June every year is shocking, as lively as the Qinling Feather Tribe Sky Competition, which vividly demonstrates the cruelty of competition in the natural world.

Because many demons, in order to lay eggs and give birth to offspring, do not hesitate to harm other pregnant demons, and even resort to parasitism and rely on various means to survive.

In the past, the Baijiang dolphins were neither strong nor weak, and their numbers were relatively large, so it didn't matter if a batch of them died. But the current situation of several Baijiang dolphins is that they disappear in the blink of an eye once they are scattered into the Yangtze River. Considering that inbreeding is prohibited, each one must be carefully cared for.

"Ah, this is probably not something our academy can participate in. Some powerful demon tribes have their monarchs personally escorting them. Millions of demon armies march past in a mighty force. If you come into contact with them, you will die."

Lu Jun heard something and scratched his head.

"Of course it's not that scary. It won't put you students at great risk."

Professor Yuan said: "The number of white finless porpoises is small, so there is no need to seek a large-scale spawning greenhouse with a high concentration of magical energy and warmth. Just find a small corner. This time, the migration will probably be from the Magic City to Jinling."

"It happened to be the minor flood season in November, and it was cleared up once, so the threat is limited to the middle and high levels."

Hearing this, Lu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed the time with Professor Yuan. The two talked for a long time and had a very pleasant conversation. They exchanged contact information before leaving the Water Academy.

Halfway home, he received a call from Dean Xiao, who said that he had found several kinds of special metals and sent them to him for selection.

"I've been waiting for a few days, and finally got the reward."

Lu Jun was excited and rushed to the office.

Chapter 113 Dragon-patterned Dark Iron, Taia Sword?

As Lu Jun walked towards the dean's office, he was thinking about what he had said to Professor Yuan.

He could sense that the other party was well-informed, so he proposed his own 'Water Breathing'... that is, using the principle of tides, allowing the waves rich in high concentrations of water elements to wash over the body, allowing the magic energy to penetrate into the flesh and blood and internal organs, slowly strengthening it.

This is actually the same as the principle that when a realm is broken through, the expansion of the nebula causes the vast amount of magic energy attracted to passively baptize the body and increase strength.

Promoted to a super-class wizard, it is said that he can tear apart slave-level demons with his bare hands.

Before, Lu Jun wanted to turn this passivity into initiative and find a way. Since the spiritual realm will increase with the improvement of cultivation, the same is true for qi and blood, then is there a division of qi and blood into nine realms?

Professor Yuan regretfully pointed out that this idea is difficult to put into practice. Some people have proposed it in the past, but the principle of realm breakthrough is not as simple as imagined. It may be the sublimation of the life level that comes with all-round strengthening.

However, he was also sure that Lu Jun's tidal spirit seed phenomenon was very special and an isolated case that was worthy of study, but he had to wait until he finished the experimental project at hand before discussing it in detail.

The study of magic is to find isolated cases from the base number, study the isolated cases, summarize them, and extend them to the base number.

Lu Jun thought it made sense, but he felt that Professor Yuan's fiery gaze was a bit strange before he left, as if he was looking at a precious experimental subject. Anyway, he left first.

After a while, Lu Jun came to his senses and arrived at Dean Xiao's office.

He pushed open the door with great expectations. He had been looking for intermediate-level gold-based metals, but none of the results from major laboratories were satisfactory.

Sister Lu Mei is also using her connections to find her high school bestie at Yaodu University, but unfortunately that laboratory only studied one kind of common metal [meteorite iron and vibrating gold].

Now, Lu Jun's gold system will finally return to the status of big brother, fighting against higher-level opponents. Especially before the training in the Yangtze River is about to begin, with one more trump card, the safety guarantee will be greatly improved.

Dean Xiao sat in front of his desk with several boxes on it, and gently gestured, "Each of the special metals you requested can be used to refine precious materials for high-grade demon-slaying tools."

Hearing this, he was delighted. It was because the Gold System had not appeared yet and he was the only one in the world who had it, and the relevant resources were extremely abundant that the academy could collect the necessary resources so easily.

To be honest, when it comes to magic tools, many mages are more accustomed to using local materials and refining materials for hunting monsters, which makes it easier to control the effects.

Even the best quality metal materials will often have surplus if their uses are limited.
