The freshman welcome assembly ended, and the standout star was naturally Mo Fan. With one summoned beast, he had swept all before him without a single rival!
Of course, a small number of people kept saying that Mo Fan had more than one summoned beast. On the day the freshmen enrolled, they had seen him summon a gigantic snow-white wolf.
Not only had Mo Fan obtained Beast Taming Blood, but he had also received a reward from Dean Xiao.
Dean Xiao had Mo Fan go directly to his office. Since it was Dean Xiao's personal reward, he had paid for the prizes out of his own pocket.
"Do you want a magic artifact or a Star Cloud Magic Artifact? Or perhaps something to strengthen your little monkey?" Dean Xiao asked warmly.
"Little Golden Ape is still growing, so it doesn't need strengthening for now. I'd better strengthen myself first." Mo Fan rubbed his hands together.
"You little brat, take a look. I don't have many magic tools in my collection, but everything you can use is here." Dean Xiao waved his hand lightly, and several magic tools resembling little toys appeared before Mo Fan.
"Demon Slaying Tool, Magic Footwear, Shield Magic Tool."
Dean Xiao introduced them. "The Demon Slaying Tool is called Judgment. It is the final magic tool in this series made by a master forger. Do you see the 99 here? That means it is the ninety-ninth Judgment."
"Its ability is to summon a Judgment Light Sword, with power roughly equal to Intermediate Level Two magic!"
Mo Fan scratched his head. He was not lacking offensive methods right now, so he could set this one aside and look at the other magic tools first.
"This Magic Footwear is called Thousand Army Breaker. It does not focus on speed and uses Magic Stones for charging. After each charge, it can unleash the power of a thousand troops and ten thousand horses twice."
Mo Fan scratched his head again. Why did this Magic Footwear look so much like the Blood Boots he had gotten in his previous life? Or perhaps every bizarre piece of Magic Footwear handled by Dean Xiao was like this!
There was no way he would choose the Shield Magic Tool. He already had the Sickle Bone Shield, and if he chose another shield magic tool, he would be forced to destroy the Sickle Bone Shield. Looking at it that way, it was a bit of a loss.
"Alright, I'll take Thousand Army Breaker."
These three magic tools were all part of Dean Xiao's collection, and they were somewhat better than the academy reward Mo Fan had received in his previous life. Thousand Army Breaker, for instance, could serve him until the Advanced level.
Perhaps Dean Xiao had seen Mo Fan's potential. After Mo Fan imprinted his spiritual mark on Thousand Army Breaker, Dean Xiao spoke to him earnestly for quite a while.
Only then did he let Mo Fan leave the dean's office.
Although he had lost the opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower this time, once he was in Pearl Institute, getting into the Three-Step Tower with his abilities would be easy.
Things were already developing far better in this life than they had in the last. This time, he understood how to be tactful. Being tactful was not the same as flattering others; it meant that even when he saw someone he hated, he could still greet them with a smile.
Donghuang's national conditions were unique in the entire world, and interpersonal connections were also one of the most important abilities.
Leaving aside anything else, the circles he could access through people like Zhao Manyan, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Tutu, children of distinguished families, were entirely different.
Mo Fan's next plan was still to focus on his Lightning Fire Dual Elements, keeping the Summoning Element in the open and the Shadow Element in the dark. At the same time, he would improve his Spiritual Power and see whether he could derive a fifth element while still at the Intermediate level.
Mo Fan had mapped the Fusion Method into three stages: fusion, derivation, and creation.
The Fusion Method was like infrastructure construction—it needed a foundation. Mo Fan's cultivation was still insufficient, so he could not create magic out of thin air. He could only create a third elemental system based on the properties and structures of other elemental systems.
Mo Fan's Spiritual Power should currently be at the Second Realm. For an Intermediate Mage, that realm was already quite high.
Even when Ai Jiangtu participated in the National Government Battle, he had only reached the Fourth Realm.
The moment Mo Fan returned to the dormitory, he saw Zhao Manyan dressed like a male escort, tossing his hair about flirtatiously.
"Old Zhao, heading out to show off again?" Mo Fan blurted out.
"Get lost, get lost, get lost. A senior from the Healing Element invited me to discuss magical philosophy. I won't be back tonight." Zhao Manyan got along rather well with Mo Fan.
Maybe it was because they had similar temperaments.
"Sigh, the language of flowers for a steel wool ball is endurance and wealth. Old Zhao, you must stay strong." Mo Fan patted his shoulder, then sat down on the bed.
Zhao Manyan!!!
Just as Mo Fan finished speaking, Ling Ling called him.
"Mo Fan, there's a big catch. Get here now!!"
Mo Fan: Received.
After getting Ling Ling's call, Mo Fan remembered that his first mission with Ling Ling had happened around this time.
It seemed to involve a Molting Female Demon with infectious abilities.
Mo Fan picked up his coat and smiled at Old Zhao. "Well, I have plans too. I might not be back tonight."
"Damn it, you two dogs. I invited a few Water Element girls out for drinks tonight and was planning to bring you guys along." Zhang Pinggu said.
Zhang Pinggu was also their roommate. He had a people-pleasing personality, so he seemed to be on good terms with everyone.
"Forget it. Next time for sure."
Mo Fan declined with a smile.
His reputation within the academy was now very high, and people thought well of him. It was the complete opposite of his previous life.
In his previous life, he had become the Great Demon King of the Green Campus. In this life, he was getting quite a few evaluations as a prince charming and campus heartthrob.
Mo Fan rode his little electric scooter to the Azure Sky Hunter Agency. Inside were only little Ling Ling and Old Man Bao.
The first thing Mo Fan did upon entering was reach out to pat little Ling Ling's head. She knew his routine all too well by now and dodged aside.
"What mission is it? Where's Xiao Ding?"
Mo Fan looked around but did not spot Xiao Ding.
"Senior Brother Xiao Ding got a government post. My sister got him into the Spirit Hidden Tribunal." Ling Ling said as she sipped her milk tea.
"What???"
Mo Fan was jealous, envious, and resentful. "I want a government post too."
"You haven't even graduated yet, what government post are you talking about? Besides, you could ask your teacher Tang Yue." Ling Ling said, swinging her short little legs.
"Let's not talk about my teacher Tang Yue."
Mo Fan sighed. "Let me see the mission first. Is it urgent?"
"Here. The commission is 300,000. Once it's done, we split it fifty-fifty!" Ling Ling said grandly.
Mo Fan glanced over the general details. It really was the Molting Female Demon incident. With his current strength, that female demon would have a hard time escaping this time.
He was not the kind of person who would throw his classmates' safety aside for a reward, so he would resolve it as quickly as possible.
His determination to learn magic had been reinforced time and again by the helpless looks in those people's eyes. He would never forget the expressions of the girls who had shed out from those demon garments in his previous life. They had looked so pitiful and helpless.
It would very likely cast an enormous shadow over the rest of their lives!
They simply ate lunch at the Hunting Office. Then they meditated from the afternoon until dusk, and when the sky had nearly darkened, the two of them set out.
Using their hunter badges, they easily entered Masterpiece Private Garden, then climbed onto the rooftop of one of the buildings.
I had some errands to run today, so there will only be two updates today. I'm heading to another city tomorrow, so there may also be only two updates then.
