Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

Chapter 11: A Stunning Sword

At the edge of the alley, the four teammates noticed it almost the moment Lu Jun attacked, but the narrow terrain was difficult to enter. It would be funny if they were turned into a string of candied haws by a scarlet beam of light.

"Be careful."

The key is that Lu Mei is reliable. She shouted loudly, and used her slender hands to draw magic. A blue star track passed by, pointing at Lu Jun from afar, blessing her brother. This time she used a level three wind track.

"Wind Track·Piaoying!"

Woo, woo, there was a strong wind blowing in the surrounding streets, the four people's clothes fluttered, and they saw blurry and transparent wind ducts spreading in the alley ahead, and even the walls on both sides had wind ducts running up and down.

It's like a grid of wind, or a subway map with connections in all directions.

The third-level wind track has a moving speed that can leave an afterimage, and there is more than one wind track.

The next moment, Lu Jun enjoyed a huge blessing, and his body felt light, as if he was about to ascend to heaven.

Water Guard, Wind Track, Zhenjin Heavy Sword... He looked at the giant-eyed gorilla rat in the darkness in the distance, and a crazy idea flashed through his mind.

Some people, when faced with danger, cannot move their legs and sit down to die, some quickly run away, and some subconsciously fight back. Apparently, he is one of those people.

Wow!

Lu Jun roared, and his figure flashed as he quickly charged towards the slave-level demon. His feet stepped on the wind track, leaving an afterimage behind him. The water ribbons wrapped around his body were pulled backwards under the strong wind pressure, forming a myriad of blue water streams.

He gripped the Zhenjin heavy sword in reverse, and the platinum lines lit up. The blade slanted downward, also drawing a dark arc of light.

The sharp sound of the sword rang in Lu Jun's ears for a long time, and then gradually faded away. The scene in front of him slowed down, and everything seemed to be still, and there was silence.

At this moment, Lu Jun had already adapted his five senses at this speed, and all he could see was the ugly monster in front of him. He saw the pupils of the giant-eyed rat slowly shrink, and another scarlet beam of light shot out.

hum!

He slammed his feet, and the whole person tilted up the wall, flying over the eaves and walls! The "slow" scarlet beam was left behind.

During the practical activities one year later, Zhang Xiaohou was able to fly over the cliff with the acceleration of the first-level wind track. Now he can even climb up the stairs vertically with the help of the third-level wind track.

Almost instantly, Lu Jun rushed along the wall to the front of the giant-eyed gorilla rat, holding the golden heavy sword in both hands, his body forming a right angle with the sword, standing upright in front of the giant rat monster, the platinum edge of the sword bursting out and sinking into the flesh and blood.

With a "whoosh" sound, he thought that the feeling would be as sticky as cutting steel, but the speed of the wind track plus the sharpness of the gold element was like cutting tofu, and it cut through the entire body of the monster along the spine of the giant-eyed gorilla rat in one breath.

When the force on Lu Jun's hand loosened, he left the wall, spun in the air and landed on the ground. The water wrapped around his body was like a fairy scattering flowers, with blue water splashing out.

Then he calmly turned his back to the giant rat demon, slowly stood up, and with a flick of his wrist, the water-controlling silk ribbon slid along the long sword, throwing out a blood-red sword flower, and the black heavy sword shone.

After a moment, a line of blood appeared on the forehead of the giant-eyed gorilla rat, and its huge body split into two and fell down with a bang. The cross-section was extremely smooth, and a large amount of blood burst out, gushing out half a meter, and when it fell, it was like a farewell firework.

The picture freezes.

"Ah!" Li Xia and her friends had already walked into the alley along the wall when Lu Jun charged. Seeing the whole scene, the red-haired queen couldn't stop screaming, her eyes almost turned into hearts, and she shouted, "Too handsome, sister, I'm cumming."

Xu Yan and Mu Yuan looked at Lu Jun at the end, dazed and extremely shocked.

Even Lu Mei was slightly stunned. In a trance, she saw her brother's back, like a peerless strong man rising up slowly with his brilliance revealed.

The four of them were just there to make up the numbers. Li Xia originally thought that the Thunder and Fire Mage was a master of destruction and was in the limelight, but now it seems to her that he is not a man at all for just hiding in the back and casting magic.

A real man would pick up a sword and fight the monsters in close combat.

Several blue water belts on both sides of the alley extended to Lu Jun at the end, and they had not even fallen down after he killed the demon.

Wind Swordsman? Water Breathing!

Lu Jun's boiling blood gradually cooled down. He himself couldn't believe that he could do such a feat. He deeply admired himself for being able to hold on and show off after killing the enemy.

He carefully felt his state of mind, as if he had broken some kind of constraints. When facing similar monsters again, he was not afraid at all and killed them easily. The bottom line water shield had not been broken yet.

Even Lu Jun's usual fighting method is not like this. He relies on the flexibility of the wind track to hit the target with one strike and escape thousands of miles away. If this alley was not narrow and only the brave could win, he would not have taken such a risk.

The killing power of gold is indeed extraordinary. As long as you have the courage to raise the sword, it will give you a world of its own.

Xu Yan walked to the corpse of the giant-eyed rat demon, looked at the strong fascia and smooth flesh, shook his head, and looked at the Zhenjin heavy sword in Lu Jun's hand and said enviously: "This demon-slaying tool is so powerful."

No one doubted it. It was normal for a sister who supported her brother to equip a killing magic tool for her brother who only had defensive skills.

This group of little mages, whose average level is level two, are really not enough for Lu Jun to kill.

Lu Mei came back to her senses from the stunning sword strike, walked up to her brother, and scolded him, "Don't go alone next time. If you encounter a demon, retreat immediately. Are you hurt?"

She touched Lu Jun's body with her worried hands.

"Sister..." Lu Jun was quite embarrassed. He was a fierce swordsman in the previous second, and turned into a little boy who depended on his sister in the next second.

Li Xia approached and said in an ambiguous tone: "Little man, do you want to take off all your clothes tonight and let your sister check your body?"

Seeing this, Lu Mei glared at her and instructed her teammates to check the alley to see if anything was missed. If not, they should go back and report.

Xu Yan and Mu Yuan immediately released their magic, [Ground Wave] and [Ice Vine].

Soon, the ground in the alley began to wriggle, and a yellowish-brown light began to flow. Layer upon layer of waves went deep into the darkness. A frost penetrated into the sewer, and ice covered the manhole cover. A crackling sound came from below.

This is considered an application of elementary magic, serving as a means of detection. Otherwise, with the wizard's fragile body, if he were to search closely, a demon would suddenly appear and he wouldn't know how he died.

Lu Jun ignored the two of them. After this battle, he felt that the golden stardust seemed to be brighter, and the heavy golden sword in his hand was sharper after being washed by blood.

"Actual combat really sharpens magic. If I do it a few more times, it won't take long to break through to the second level of the beginner level."

He thought, the second level of the Gold Element is called [Size], which can change the size of the created "device", but the upper and lower limits of the initial stage of cultivation are no more than three times.

The nearly four-meter-long sword is like a large door panel when it is placed in front of him. With the defensive power of shock alloy, he can be called invincible at the initial stage.

Just as Xu Yan and the other man finished their inspection, the white tiger pendant on Lu Jun's chest suddenly vibrated.

In his field of vision, a faint blue light like a firefly appeared on the body of the giant-eyed gorilla rat. It was as small as a candle flame and was slowly floating towards the pendant on his neck as if it was called.

It's a slave-level remnant soul!

No one else can see this scene, except the black magic [necromancy] mage.

“I didn’t expect that the White Tiger Pendant has the same function as Mo Fan’s Little Loach, collecting demon souls.”

Lu Jun was overjoyed, but then he said with regret: "It's a pity that it's not a spirit. The residual soul is not worth much. A servant-level residual soul is worth at most 10,000 yuan."

The so-called [Soul] is the complete soul of the demon, containing most of the origin. The probability of its production is extremely low, and there may not be one in a hundred. The energy is equivalent to dozens of times that of the residual soul.

As for the value... any servant-level spirit costs five million.

Why is it so expensive? That's because spirits have many uses, for example, the [Stardust Magical Artifact] is made with spirits of demons of the same level!

That is to say, ordinary stardust magic weapons cost at least tens of millions, and nebula magic weapons cost tens of millions. You can imagine how powerful the White Tiger Pendant is.

Secondly, it is not easy to collect. Only Necromancers can collect it, or a special magic tool [Dead Soul Vessel] is needed. Both are in short supply, and Necromancers are rare in China.

Chapter 12 School starts

Seeing that there were no other hidden dangers, Lu Jun and others withdrew from the alley. Someone would come to deal with the monster's corpse, and those fur and eyes were worth a lot of money.

Some items such as strange blood and strange bones can be used as materials for magic tools. They are similar to residual souls, except that one is spiritual and the other is physical. Their value is far less than that of Stardust magic tools.

Including the money paid by the municipal government, this operation cost about 100,000 yuan. Since Lu Jun solved the problem alone, the other three people only received a symbolic fee for running errands, totaling 30,000 yuan.

The rest belonged to the brother and sister, not counting the remaining souls, and they gained 70,000 in one go.

You can imagine how lucrative the rewards for monster hunting are, but it is also very dangerous.

Lu Mei smiled and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the Hunter Alliance to register. This action will be recorded on your resume, and you will be able to obtain the title of Junior Hunter, which will make it easier for you to go in and out of the wild in the future."

The group separated, and the brother and sister came to the Hunter Hall, which felt like a large stock hall and also like a job fair, with people coming and going.

There is a huge LCD screen hanging on the wall of the hunter hall, which announces the latest bounty, with the price of the bounty marked behind it. The lowest bounty is 10, and the highest bounty can reach one million.

There are also many teams recruiting mages.

"Team Iron Soul is out hunting monsters and is in urgent need of an experienced wind magician. Come quickly!"

"Assist the Snow Mountain Post Military Mage to clear out a one-eyed wolf den with more than fifty adult slave demons, and provide strong support with fire damage."

"Is there a white magic [healing] wizard? Someone is dying!"

Lu Jun felt a strong sense of déjà vu when watching this, which was quite reminiscent of the shouting in the Internet cafe era, dungeons, and World of Warcraft.

Not long after, Lu Jun successfully registered as a hunter mage at the counter, and he saw some hunter mage masters coming around his sister.

They all invited Lu Mei to join the wild monster hunting team, as there was a severe shortage of mid-level mages in Bo City.

"How about joining us and taking 30% of the profits?"

"No need, I have no plans to go out into the wild for the time being."

Lu Mei shook her head to refuse, and several middle-aged monster hunting captains left with regret.

Seeing this, Lu Jun realized his sister's dilemma. Bo City could not afford to support a mid-level magician. In order to take care of him, Lu Mei's strength would stagnate.

This is unacceptable for a 21-year-old mid-level talent.

Tell his sister to ignore him and join various wild monster hunting teams?

Not to mention that Lu Mei disagreed, Lu Jun also felt it was unreliable. He knew that those monster hunting teams were more deceptive than each other, and there were only a few good ones.

When people are in the wild, they really have no one to turn to for help. There are so many dark things, especially in this magical world.

If she went to the Magic City, the salary for some production positions would only be slightly higher than that of the city monster hunting team. For Lu Mei, resources that were not worth millions would not have much effect, such as renting nebula magic tools for a long time to resist the magic tools of the war general monster.

Now he truly felt how difficult it was for a commoner to make progress in the magical world.

Unfortunately, the White Tiger Pendant has a soul link and cannot be lent to my sister.

"Sister, how about I go to the wild with you?"

When Lu Mei walked in, he said thoughtfully: "You, the Wind and Earth Mage, will be responsible for running away and controlling, and I, the Water and Gold Mage, will be responsible for defense and killing. A team of two will be no weaker than a team of mages. Then we can bring in one or two people who know us well."

"Brother! How old are you? Your cultivation is only at the first level. Are you going to go out into the wild with two people?"

Lu Mei found it funny and said, "It's different in the wild and in the city. In the city, demons are like rats, and everyone beats them up. If there are one or two of them gathered together, it's a big deal."

"And in the wild, humans are like rats! Wandering in the cracks between demon tribes, it's normal to encounter seven or eight slave-level demons at a time. If you're unlucky, you'll encounter a dozen or even fifty in one nest."

"It's really unlucky. A [clan] with more than fifty nests of demons passed by. Only counting the adult slaves, the number ranged from 2,500 to 10,000. There were many generals, including commanders."

She said earnestly, "I know what you're thinking. Wait until you reach level 2 Water Defense: Guardian, and you'll be able to withstand three or four crimson beams."

Hearing this, Lu Jun felt heavy-hearted and under great pressure. He couldn't let his sister waste her youth in vain. He should accumulate more strength during the peacetime, otherwise there would be disasters in the future.

The two of them walked all the way back home. Seeing that the black-haired boy was still frowning, Lu Mei stretched out her jade hand, pinched her brother's slightly fleshy cheek, and said affectionately: "Okay, it's not your turn to worry about my affairs."

"Your task now is to study hard and try to get into a top university, so you don't have to struggle like me."

Lu Jun shook off his sister's clutches and said unhappily, "Alas, I'm not a child anymore."

He secretly made up his mind. Lu Mei was now at the intermediate level one of the wind element (she could already cast magic) and the elementary level one of the earth element. By the end of next semester at the latest, he would have reached the elementary level two of both elements. It just so happened that his sister should have also completed the new element to the elementary level three.

There is no time to delay any longer. She needs to raise funds as soon as possible to rent a nebula-level magic weapon so that her second system can break through to the intermediate level as soon as possible.

In fact, Lu Jun knew that with Lu Mei's talent, she would be able to enter a double-first-class university when she graduated at the age of 18. However, on the one hand, she stayed to take care of him, and on the other hand, even if she got in, she would soon fall behind others due to lack of funds.

"Oh, right." Lu Jun remembered something and specifically instructed, "Just take the 70,000, and you don't have to rent the Stardust Magical Device for me."

"Oh, too."

Lu Mei nodded and said, "With your progress, the school is good enough to lend you the Stardust Magical Instrument for training in your second year of high school. You are like me back then, a top student."

Hearing this, Lu Jun hesitated to speak, and thought, forget it, my sister just misunderstood me.

In his hand is the White Tiger Pendant, the top of the nebula magic weapon, and his cultivation speed has improved by leaps and bounds, surpassing the school's magic weapon by a few blocks.

If it weren't for the fact that the mental power of a beginner magician is far inferior to that of a mid-level magician, and the efficiency of training is much lower, it would be easy for him to reach the beginner level 3 of both systems in half a year. In the original novel, Mo Fan awakened two new systems at the intermediate level, and with the help of the little loach that swallowed the Holy Spring, he was able to do so at about the same speed.

The White Tiger Pendant is not inferior to the little loach at that time, but it is normal for a beginner mage to start slowly. After reaching the intermediate level, with experience and high mental strength, it will be faster to learn new systems.

Time passed, and during the last half month of winter vacation, Lu Jun did not encounter any incidents reported by the city monster hunting team regarding monsters, so he devoted himself to practicing hard.

Not long after he discovered the Black Vatican's actions in the sewers, an orange alert was sounded outside the city.

But it’s not a big problem. Compared with the bloody city-destroying alert two and a half years later, it’s nothing.

However, some signs gradually emerged, and the original novel still caused panic among the people at that time.

Although he was eager to participate in slaying demons and contribute his strength, the military magician would never let a child like him come, so he gave up.

Finally, the second semester of senior high school started and he naturally returned to school.

The students of Class 8 of Grade 1 all arrived and were excitedly discussing the winter vacation and the New Year celebrations. The topic gradually shifted to bragging about the progress of magic.
