Derivative Water Element, Transitioning to Next Semester

Returning from the Azure Sky Hunter Agency, Mo Fan narrowly missed encountering two of Ai Tutu's backup options, thus avoiding a minor conflict from his previous life.

Of course, it hadn't impacted Mo Fan in his past life, so it was even less of a concern now; Mo Fan could easily defeat both of them with just his Shadow Element.

After a brief greeting to Jiao Jiao and Little Rabbit, he retreated to his room. He had very little luggage, fitting everything into two suitcases.

He lay on the bedsheets, still warm and smelling of sunshine, and closed his eyes for a few seconds before executing a perfect somersault to sit up.

Having simulated this process in his mind countless times, he began the process of deriving his third element. To deal with the upcoming threat from the Sea God Dynasty, he decided to start with the Water Element.

Conveniently, Dean Xiao was a powerful expert in the Water Element, possessing a high-level Forbidden Magic. Once he awakened it, he could simply latch onto Dean Xiao for support.

Fusion, derivation, creation.

Mo Fan was exceptionally proficient with the Fusion Method. He had even cultivated Water Element magic to the Forbidden Magic realm and had a thorough understanding of the Water Element's structure.

Within Mo Fan's spiritual universe, a deep blue starlight flickered between reality and illusion. According to his research, a new magic element could be derived when one's mental power reached the third, fifth, seventh, or ninth level.

Furthermore, this new magic element would not conflict with his awakened elements.

(This section has a slight plot hole if scrutinized, but I'm setting it up this way.)

The Water Element is one of the gentlest and most primal forms of magic. Humans' DNA is inherently imprinted with an affinity for water, so Mo Fan easily derived the Water Element Star Dust.

In the vast and boundless cosmos, four Star Clouds of different colors emanated a powerful aura. The bright Crimson Gold Star Cloud and the profound Thunder Abyss Star Cloud were both adorned with the soul of a true dragon.

The Shadow Element and Summoning Element Star Clouds, lacking the dragon soul's blessing, paled in comparison to their two elder siblings in terms of brilliance and presence.

Beneath these four magnificent Star Clouds, a patch of blue Star Dust trembled. Although a true dragon also coiled beside its seven deep blue starlets, the Star Dust and the Star Clouds were clearly not on the same level.

Through the derivation method, Mo Fan had concretely acquired the Water Element Star Dust, and he felt his mental power increase slightly.

The Phantom Sea Azure Dragon Soul possessed a skill at the Beginner Level called [Mirror Water]. Unlike the combat power added by the Thunder Dragon and Fire Dragon, this was an auxiliary, healing, and protective ability.

Mo Fan currently lacked nothing in terms of offensive magic. For movement, he had Teleportation and Shadow Escape. What he lacked most were defense and support, and he had now filled that gap.

As winter set in, Mo Fan made a trip to West Lake to bring Xin Xia and his aunt to Modu. However, his aunt, Mo Qing, seeing Mo Fan come to pick up Xin Xia, told them to return to Modu by themselves, as he still had to go back to Bo City.

Otherwise, during the New Year, two grown men wouldn't even be able to cook a meal.

Mo Fan nodded and bought his aunt, Mo Qing, a large pile of gifts to take back. With two other men in Bo City, Mo Qing indeed had to return.

Upon returning to Modu, Mo Fan received a call from Tang Yue.

"Hello, Teacher Tang Yue, where are you going for the New Year?" Mo Fan asked with a grin.

"Where else? I'm in Song City. I'm calling to remind you that the Black Flood Pavilion hasn't given up on the Earth Sacred Spring and is very likely to come after you!" Tang Yue said seriously.

"Haha, I couldn't ask for more."

Mo Fan replied, a wave of confident dominance emanating from him, clearly showing his immense faith in his own strength.

"Be careful of the Black Flood Pavilion's treacherous tricks, don't let yourself be capsized in a ditch. I'll be in Modu once I'm done with my current tasks!"

Tang Yue gave Mo Fan a few more instructions before hanging up.

At Jinyuan Apartment, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu had both moved back home for the New Year. This meant that during the winter break, only Mo Fan and Xin Xia would be in the apartment.

With Xin Xia being the only one around, Mo Fan took full advantage of the situation.

And so, Mo Fan and Xin Xia spent the entire winter break together. After the break ended, his aunt Mo Qing came to Modu and took Xin Xia away.

Xin Xia's departure left Mo Fan feeling a bit lost, but fortunately, Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu moved back in that afternoon.

"Hello there, Miss Mu and Miss Ai. How was your holiday?" Mo Fan greeted them lazily.

"It was okay. Did your sister go back to school?" Mu Nujiao asked.

"Yes, she left this morning!"

As the new semester began, the entire Green Campus felt like it was on a countdown. The students were no longer as relaxed as they were in the previous semester, with the training grounds packed and people practicing magic everywhere.

Inner disciples of Noble Families had their own Meditation Cultivation rooms and Star Cloud Magic Artifacts. Outer disciples could also rent a Meditation Cultivation room for a fee, leaving only the commoner mages to endure arduous meditation.

The Azure Sky Hunter Agency didn't have commissions every day. Although it was a long-standing establishment in Modu, it had a significant drawback: it was too expensive.

Mo Fan's Lightning and Fire Elements were his strongest, or rather, excessively strong. In his previous life, his Lightning Element magic didn't receive as much of a boost even after reaching Forbidden Magic.

The power of basic magic increased from 1 to 3. The amplification Mo Fan would receive after acquiring Spirit Seeds and Soul Seeds in the future was terrifying. For example, the amplification for Tyrant Desolate Thunder was 6; after Mo Fan absorbed it, it directly became an 18-fold increase in power.

This gave Mo Fan the ability to fight beyond his level. Mo Fan dared not imagine how powerful he would become after the Divine Seal Hymn and Dark Blessing!

The Divine Seal Hymn also increased the power of basic magic, but it could only enhance one element.

Dark Blessing, on the other hand, was much more domineering, comprehensively increasing Mo Fan's power by 50%!

For instance, if Mo Fan's Lightning Element magic was currently 18 times more powerful than normal magic, after receiving Dark Blessing, its power would reach a terrifying 27 times.

This was the foundation of the magic plane. The kings of the Dark Dimension had launched attacks on the magic plane multiple times, clearly for profitable reasons.

Mo Fan shook his head to clear his thoughts and decided not to dwell on such distant matters. He continued to cultivate diligently for some time.

Mo Fan had been waiting for the Black Flood Pavilion to attack. He had even planned how to exchange captured members for bounties and how to spend those bounties.

However, despite Mo Fan venturing out of the city multiple times to hunt demons in an attempt to lure the Black Flood Pavilion, they had yet to appear!

"Sigh, even the Little Golden Ape has become a General-level beast, and the Black Flood Pavilion still hasn't shown up. Could my fishing operation be too obvious?" Mo Fan sighed melancholically.

"Beep beep beep beep..."

Mo Fan sighed, and just then, his phone suddenly rang.

Great, finally some fun.

After Mo Fan answered the call, he quickly hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Azure Sky Hunter Agency!

The agency was the same as always. Ling Ling was drinking milk tea, Old Man Bao was smoking his pipe, and the old sign creaked and groaned in the wind.

As soon as Mo Fan entered, his first action was to pat Ling Ling's head and pinch her little cheeks, then he asked, "What mission has you looking so glum?"

Although he said that, he had already made a decision in his heart. It was probably a protection mission posted by Teacher Tang Yue. Wait, Teacher Tang Yue knows I'm at the Azure Sky Hunter Agency, so why would she still post it???

Mo Fan thought as he flipped open the commission form. Sure enough, on the last line of the back was his name, along with a note: "Mo Fan cannot protect himself."

This is the second chapter today.

I don't know what's going on, but things have become difficult all of a sudden.
