Leaving the Safe Zone Again, The Path Chosen By Oneself

Mo Fan followed the military mages up the lookout tower, which had been temporarily erected with earth magic. The tower was very tall, and Mo Fan felt like he had walked for a long time before reaching the top.

As soon as he reached the summit, Mo Fan felt a fierce wind assault him, pouring into his clothes and making his cheeks sting.

At the edge of the lookout tower stood Zhan Kong, draped in a green military cape, his back to Mo Fan. His wild hair fluttered in the wind.

Damn, this is still the era when Boss Zhan Kong was showing off!

On either side of Zhan Kong stood a row of military mages. Their eyes were firm, their faces resolute like marble statues, exuding an aura of natural authority.

"Commander, Mo Fan has arrived," the military mage who led Mo Fan up saluted Zhan Kong.

Zhan Kong didn't turn his head. He was watching the Winged Azure Wolf, one of the culprits behind this disaster. The lookout tower fell silent for a moment.

"I'm glad to see you alive," Zhan Kong's voice lacked its usual flippancy. Even the word "glad" was spoken with remarkable calm.

"Oh, then you're happy a bit too early."

Zhan Kong: Huh? What?

Mo Fan said with a complex tone, "There's no time for sentimentality. Just say what you need to say. I have to go outside the Safe Zone again later."

"Going outside the barrier again... Alright. Then, what about the Earth Sacred Spring?" Zhan Kong asked.

"Drank it," Mo Fan replied without thinking.

Zhan Kong:

Drank it?

Is that your tap water? You just drank it like that? Is this how you were supposed to guard it??

Zhan Kong finally deigned to turn his head, staring at Mo Fan with wide eyes.

Mo Fan waved his hand, "Don't look at me like that. I drank it, and that's that. Or do you want me to pee it out for you right now?"

As Mo Fan spoke, he started to unbuckle his belt.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Zhan Kong said exasperatedly, "If it weren't for this disaster, you'd be on the stake, and I'd have to light it myself... But it's good that it didn't fall into the Black Flood Pavilion's hands. Besides, the Earth Sacred Spring will dry up eventually!"

Zhan Kong didn't dwell on the Earth Sacred Spring. As long as it didn't fall into the Black Flood Pavilion's hands and bring greater harm to Bo City, that was enough.

Upon learning that their only Commander-level opponent was the Winged Azure Wolf, Zhan Kong knew it was time to strike and eliminate this menace.

A neat row of dark green military robes stood in formation, all looking at the handsome older man standing in the center. Zhan Kong's eyes flashed like lightning.

"All troops, hear my order! Annihilate the Winged Azure Wolf! To the death!!"

Zhan Kong's voice was filled with passion and killing intent. His personal guards echoed his command.

"Annihilate the Winged Azure Wolf! To the death!!"

Mo Fan's eyes couldn't help but be moved. In his previous life, there weren't many people he admired, and Zhan Kong was one of them.

Chief Instructor, I can't let you bear my responsibilities again this time. I was chosen as the successor by Old Man Ying. That Armor Robe should have been mine.

Back then, you weren't ruthless enough, nor strong enough. This time, it's my turn!!

After Zhan Kong and his guards flew away, Mo Fan descended the lookout tower alone.

When he got down, he found Zhang Xiaohou squatting nearby, waiting for him. His grandmother had already been transferred to the Safe Zone and hadn't been harmed.

"What are you looking at?" Mo Fan walked up to Zhang Xiaohou and saw him staring at Zhan Kong and the others who had already departed.

"Brother Fan!" Zhang Xiaohou snapped back to attention. Seeing that Mo Fan was unharmed, he felt relieved.

"Brother Fan, I don't want to take the Magic College Entrance Exam anymore. I want to join the military!!" A light called desire flickered in Zhang Xiaohou's eyes.

"Why?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

He knew that in his previous life, Monkey had joined because of He Yu. But in this life, he had already saved He Yu. Why did Monkey want to join the military now?

A serious expression flashed across Zhang Xiaohou's face. "I've thought about it, Brother Fan. I don't have your talent. Even if I take the Magic College Entrance Exam, I'll only get into an ordinary academy and end up lost in the crowd."

"I don't want that anymore. Today, Mu Bai, Zhou Min, and Xu Zhaoting could all help you, but I couldn't do anything. So, I want to strive hard in the military. Only in the military will I have a chance to obtain resources!"

"Brother Fan, I can't always be behind you. I want to fight alongside you. I want to forge my own path!!"

Zhang Xiaohou's eyes welled up with stubborn tears as he looked hopefully at Mo Fan.

"Okay!"

Hearing Zhang Xiaohou's words, Mo Fan felt something burning in his heart. He knew Zhang Xiaohou had found his own path.

"If you want to join the military, just tell Boss Zhan Kong. Don't be afraid. As long as you want to walk, the path is always beneath your feet!" Mo Fan laughed heartily and patted Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder.

Mo Fan left the student rest area to find his father and little sister Xin Xia. Not long after he left, Mo Fan saw Xin Xia and Old Man Mo.

At first, Mo Jiaxing couldn't understand why Mo Fan insisted on bringing the whole family to live there. He was a man who couldn't stay idle. Just as he was about to go out with Mo Fan's uncle to earn some money, the disaster broke out.

After the disaster erupted, residents began to enter the Safe Zone one after another. Mo Jiaxing and Mo Fan's uncle became volunteers.

Xin Xia, having awakened Healing Magic, joined the medical team and was learning treatment from the military doctors.

"Dad, Xin Xia," Mo Fan called out from a distance.

"Son."

"Brother Mo Fan."

Mo Jiaxing and Xin Xia looked up in surprise. They knew Mo Fan would be fine; he had returned safely, after all.

"How is it? Are you injured?" Mo Jiaxing asked, examining Mo Fan from head to toe.

"I'm fine. I even earned merits when I came back, so there might be a bonus!" Mo Fan said with a chuckle.

As he spoke, Mo Fan walked over to Xin Xia and planted a kiss on her fair, jade-like face. "Mmm, my Xin Xia is so sweet. Have you been eating well these past few days?"

"Brother Mo Fan~~~" Xin Xia called out shyly.

"I'm an unofficial member of the Medical Team now, so I get better food than the injured," Ye Xin Xia said, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She had already heard about Brother Mo Fan's heroic deeds.

Destroying Demonic Beasts with a flick of his finger, slaying the Black Flood Pavilion!!

Mo Fan and Xin Xia doted on each other for a moment before he pulled away. Xin Xia didn't have time for romance with Mo Fan because there were still wounded to treat!

Mo Fan sat down a short distance away to practice Meditation Cultivation. He needed to recover his Magic Energy first, as he would have to go outside the Safe Zone again later.

He had calculated that since he was starting a second playthrough, he couldn't waste the Golden Finger, the Celestial Spirit Codex. And the only thing this Golden Finger required was Spirit Essence.

Mo Fan would definitely seize the opportunity to harvest Spirit Essence. Not to mention the Spirit Essence readily available everywhere, the Magic Association and the Hunter's Union must have powerful Spirit Essence consigned by hunters. It was better for Mo Fan to use it than to let it dissipate automatically.

Then there was the Spirit Essence condensed from Bai Yang's soul. Should he continue to light up the Celestial Spirit Codex with it, or keep it in the Little Loach's space?

As he delved deeper into the Celestial Spirit Codex, Mo Fan discovered that it and the Little Loach were complementary.

The Little Loach had the ability to integrate Spirit Essence, while the Celestial Spirit Codex possessed the ability to upgrade Spirit Essence.

Seven Servant-level Spirit Essence could be combined into one General-level Spirit Essence, and seven General-level could be combined into one Commander-level, and so on.

I'll add an extra chapter tomorrow for the PK matches. Brothers, let's go all out!
