Taking Care of Things, Heading to Japan
More than ten National Team contestants seized the opportunity to cast spells, recklessly baptizing the Sea Monster who were still caught off guard.
Bear! Bear! Bear!
Mo Fan was the most domineering, with a mastery of constellations. His body was engulfed in purple flames, like a purple phoenix rising. His wings spread out and swept across the sky like a vast expanse of fiery clouds, accompanied by dense rain of smoke falling down, displaying terrifying destructive power.
In an instant, a vast expanse of celestial flames rained down, turning the island into scorched earth. At the very center of the attack, twenty warriors were reduced to charred remains, and hundreds of servants were also burned.
The others weren't weak either, but their Intermediate Magic, and it wasn't a violent output of Lightning Fire, so its power was significantly weaker. At most, they could kill two or three warriors in one go.
In an instant, the edge of the island shone with dazzling Magic Radiance, and a torrent of five colors swept across it.
This Crimson Sea Monster Clan suffered nearly half its members in a short period of time.
Roar! Roar! Roar! The commander in mid-air, Crimson Ling Demon, was enraged by this and struggled desperately. However, the water column beneath him kept hitting him, and the water flowed around his body. Using softness to overcome hardness, he could not break free for a long time.
It growled, its eyes gleaming with a deep blue light, attempting to reclaim control of the sea.
But the leader, Crimson Ling Demon, was horrified to discover that when his spiritual senses touched the nearby waters, it was as if he had crashed into a solidified steel plate, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Above Lu Jun's head, a crystal-clear dark blue Beads floated, with countless strands of dark blue light falling down and silently merging into the surrounding water vapor.
The domain expanded, directly annihilating the water-controlling power of the Sea Monster.
Without the ability to stir up trouble, the Sea Monster is like a fish out of water, completely at the mercy of others.
Bang!
Commander Crimson Ling Demon reacted swiftly. With a terrifying movement of his body, a water column tens of meters high exploded, creating a sky full of splashes. His blurry figure charged forward and rushed to Lu Jun's side in the blink of an eye.
"Careful."
Ai Jiangtu shouted, about to use his Mind Control to restrain Crimson Ling Demon, when he saw a scene that left him speechless.
Buzz! Lu Jun drew out a Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword, which expanded to thirty-six meters in length in the wind, becoming a pillar that stood tall and firm, reaching the sky and stirring up the Feng Yun.
After reaching the high-level Metal Element, the effect of Size Alteration skyrockets again, tripling the effect of the Intermediate Level version. The maximum range of the Natal Magic Tool is now thirty-six meters. How can you possibly block this sword strike?!
Lu Jun was covered by a layer of dark red illusory flames, and a magnificent aura of blood surged from the top of his head. His muscles swelled, and blood-red fascia covered his entire body.
Furthermore, the White Tiger Pendant around his neck shone brightly, overflowing with grayish-white radiant Tribulation Qi, spreading across the jet-black Heavenly Sword and intertwining with strands of platinum patterns, amplifying the totem's power by [twice its base strength].
Then he let out a deafening roar, unleashing the full power of his three realms of qi and blood. He wrapped his arms around the sword hilt, his strength capable of uprooting mountains and his aura overwhelming the world. He moved with incredible speed, traversing the island and charging forward head-on.
Thump!
With a deafening roar, Lu Jun, like a willow branch hanging upside down, slashed down with his sword. It was as if a pillar of heaven had tilted, stirring up a massive wave of energy. Even the enormous body of the Crimson Ling Demon seemed tiny in front of the Heavenly Sword. It tried to withstand the blow with its claws but was forcefully knocked away.
The crimson figure retreated at the speed of a cannonball, flung hundreds of meters away like a fly, with a large spray of blood falling in mid-air. One of its giant arms was severed on the spot and tossed high into the air.
Thump!
The next moment, the Crimson Ling Demon Commander crashed heavily onto the distant sea, creating a huge wave, and continued to sink into the deep sea.
The water surface churned and surged, countless bubbles rolled, and a crimson halo spread out.
Following closely behind was the sharp wind and brilliant sword energy swept out by the Tai'a Sword. Suddenly, the sea parted, revealing a wide passage more than ten meters deep, like a corridor sandwiched between two walls of seawater. A corner of the island's edge crumbled, raising billowing dust.
The sword is drawn, the sea is parted, and the mountains crumble!
Everyone was thrown off balance by the violent shaking of the earth and the surging seawater.
Their mouths gaped open, utterly shocked, muttering to themselves, "Is this still human? It's so un-magical!"
Originally Guan Yu was dashing and elegant, wielding his arm armor claws as he weaved through the demon horde, taking down one enemy with each claw. But upon seeing this scene, he was too embarrassed to show off and silently withdrew his arm armor.
He muttered to himself, "Damn, this is getting more and more outrageous."
Using the same tactics, Guan Yu felt that he was no longer a substitute for Lu Jun, but rather an extremely inferior, beggar-like version.
At this moment, Lu Jun's figure was as imposing as Demon God, his blood boiling, like a surging Killing Aura.
A sword immortal is not such an inconvenient creature! I'll let you go thirty-five meters first!
Lu Jun moved swiftly, stepping on the tiger-shaped Wind Track of the Black Impermanence, and took several large steps to reach the ocean. As the Crimson Ling Demon Commander struggled to surface, Lu Jun slashed down fiercely with his sword.
Boom! The giant wave overturned, and the black gold giant sword slashed down, almost cutting Commander Chi Ling in half at the waist. Large gushes of blood gushed out, and the immense impact sank it down again.
Splash!
That wasn't all. Lu Jun sneered, stomped hard on the water, activated his Water Element Domain, and unleashed the Storm Wave magic. A column of water shot up, pushing Crimson Ling Demon out once again.
With a soft thud, he swung his longsword, piercing through the broad, muscular chest of the Crimson Ling Demon, leaving a gaping hole in the chest. The corpse of the great demon leader was thus left hanging on the tip of the sword.
Commander Chi Ling is dead!
Lu Jun stood tall and straight like a pine tree, holding the giant sword in one hand and resting it on his shoulder. He calmly returned to the island, with the giant monster corpses behind him swaying like a string of candied hawthorns, and blood dripping down the edge of the giant blade.
He carefully comprehended the power of the Metal Element, and tested it out in his battle with Councilor Lu Xin. With the assistance of the White Tiger Pendant, its power doubled. Only when he reached the God Ascension State true monarch in his divine state could he kill someone in one move.
In his normal state, Lu Jun discovered that the power of the high-level Metal Element was also abnormal. In one breath, it split into thirty-six giant swords, each thirty-six meters high, and only in this way could it have a killing effect on the monarch's huge body.
On the island, Mo Fan and the others quickly dealt with the remaining Crimson Ling Demon. Seeing Lu Jun's imposing figure, with his black and gold coat fluttering and carrying the Ebony Heavenly Pillar on his shoulder, they swallowed hard. He was terrifying.
They had already tried to overestimate the strength of the National Mansion Captain, but they had underestimated him. It was rumored that the opponent had two high-level Water Curse skills, which he hadn't even fully utilized yet.
Soon, the Tai'a Sword shrank in the blink of an eye, transforming into a wisp of sword light and returning to the Spiritual World.
Lu Jun twisted his wrist and calmly said, "Is everything resolved? Let's go back to Fei Niao City first."
With his presence this time, the Crimson Ling Demon tribe was dealt with in no time, unlike in the original story where it was a drawn-out battle and Mo Fan had to suffer heavy injuries to finally kill their leader, the Crimson Ling Demon.
You could say you've already passed the Fei Niao City level.
Lu Jun tossed the commander's corpse to Ai Jiangtu, who then placed it into his spatial storage.
To his surprise, a pale, emerald-green moon rose from the corpse of the demon leader, carrying with it a vast amount of soul energy.
Commander-level Spirit Essence!
Chapter 282 Handling the situation, heading to Japan
Buzz buzz buzz!
To Lu Jun's surprise, the White Tiger Pendant automatically pulled him in, swiftly taking the precious Commander Essence Soul into its possession.
Commander Essence Soul can fetch at least a hundred million, and although the Crimson Ling Demon are considered a relatively ordinary race, they can still sell for that price.
This is tantamount to acquiring another Star River Vein.
He recalled the original story and discovered that this Crimson Ling Demon had indeed exploded its essence, and he didn't expect it to still be doing so now.
Mo Fan originally used the Crimson Ling Demon Essence to exchange for the Star River Vein, thus breaking through to the high-level of the Lightning Element, and now he has obtained it.
Immediately, Lu Jun stopped caring and let things take their course; what he got would naturally be his.
Moreover, Mo Fan is not worried about resources at all now, because the other party is a noble official member. After the training at the Japanese National Government is over, he will be allocated a batch of resources to break through to a higher level.
Instead of the old days, where substitutes toiled away without receiving any resources.
Lu Jun called to the others, boarded a small fishing boat, and, carrying the Demon Core of hundreds of Sea Monster as proof, quickly returned to Fei Niao City.
Lin Group Building.
Lin Junxian stared in shock at the group of young people, the mountain of Demon Core on the ground emitting a sea-bloody smell, and the commander's corpse outside, which was comparable to half a high-rise building.
"You... you actually wiped out an entire tribe."
Suddenly, Lin Junxian remembered something and carefully looked at everyone, especially Lu Jun, who was in the lead.
His eyes widened suddenly, he slammed his hand on the table and stood up, pointing at Lu Jun and saying, "You are the National Mansion Captain who single-handedly slaughtered the Lu Family. You are all members of the National Academy undergoing training."
After saying this, Lin Junxian invigorated. No wonder the team was so efficient; it turned out to be the National Team.
These young people cannot be judged by common sense, just like Lu Jun dared to stand against a powerful family alone.
He was filled with awe. Previously, because the ID photo and his actual appearance were very different, and because he hadn't paid much attention to the National Mansion Competition, he had only glanced at it because of Lu Jun's big event.
With just one glance, Lin Junxian was deeply impressed by Lu Jun's aloof and extraordinary appearance, and that's how he recognized him.
"I should have recognized you sooner; where in such a remote area could such outstanding young people come from?"
Lin Junxian sighed, then said gratefully, "Thank you for your help. You saved the economy of Fei Niao City. Whatever your request, we will do our best to help."
After finishing his sentence, Lu Jun glanced at everyone and said, "We need a ship to go to Japan."
"No problem!"
Lin Junxian waved his hand generously and said, "I'll give you a luxury yacht with the Lin Group's logo; that'll be enough to get you through customs safely."
A moment later, the National Government officials emerged from the building with satisfaction and joined Jiang Yu and Jiang Shaoxu.
Lu Jun asked, "Things are going smoothly on our end. How are things going on your end?"
Jiang Yu scratched his head. "It's alright. I went through all the missing children files from the past few years and found the mastermind. They've already been brought to justice."
"The follow-up clues are very complex and cannot be investigated in a short time, so we can only hand them over to the mentors."
These words brought a sense of relief to the group, but they knew nothing of the inside story.
Lu Jun sighed, not saying much, and the matter was dropped. After all, that was Su Lu, at most a member of the Bad Boys Guild under her command.
The Nationalist government officials will rest for a day and depart for Japan tomorrow.
He had been looking forward to this destination for a long time. He had heard that Jinzhou Sea Battle City was famous all over the world. With the ebb and flow of the tide, Water Element Spirit Seed emerged one after another, and the environment was bound to be suitable for Water Element cultivation.
Currently, thanks to the nourishment from the Star River Magic Tool White Tiger Pendant, Lu Jun is on the verge of reaching the High-level Two Water Element. With a little more focus on cultivation, he can break through to the next level.
The group boarded the cruise ship and sailed towards the Pacific Ocean.
The weather was sunny, and the girls in the group were all of high quality. Jiang Shaoxu, as before, was particularly interested in wearing a sexy bikini and sunbathing on the deck.
For a moment, all the men in the team were staring at Jiang Shaoxu; she was just too tempting.
The bikini fabric was already minimal, and given her incredibly stunning figure, the two small pieces of fabric on her chest couldn't conceal her ample bosom at all, revealing her milky-white skin from all sides.
Lu Jun glanced at it, then looked away with little interest. He had already eaten meat, so this little bit of food didn't bother him much.
To be honest, he neither approved nor disapproved of Jiang Shaoxu's actions. She had the freedom to dress as she pleased, even the most volunteer women would be ashamed of it. She was truly a benevolent bodhisattva incarnate.
He felt that only men with a certain level of magnanimity could handle this kind of woman.
Anyway, Lu Jun isn't interested. The older sister is much better. She's a virtuous wife and loving mother, capable in both formal and domestic settings, gentle and dignified in public, but... well, let's just say she's a bit... awkward in private.
Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Guan Yu were all watching intently, the difference being that the former two were doing it openly, while the latter was doing it secretly.
Of course, this time when we were speeding through Fei Niao City, without the bet between the two of them, Guan Yu wouldn't be so shameless as to pull down Jiang Shaoxu's bra, so naturally he wouldn't get to feast his eyes.
During the voyage, Lu Jun was in seclusion inside the ship when he suddenly awoke with a start, his mind racing. He quickly stood up and went out of the cabin.
The sea stretched as far as the eye could see, calm and undisturbed. Everyone was busy with their own affairs, whether it was cultivating their spiritual practice or playing cards for entertainment.
But Lu Jun noticed something different: the color of the sea had become slightly darker and more profound.
Soon, Mo Fan, in a panic, landed on the ground with Zhao Manting, shouting, "Something terrible has happened!"
Everyone was surprised and gathered around to listen to Mo Fan speak.
Lu Jun, however, seemed to be deep in thought as he looked at the sea. A huge shadow appeared on the seabed, making the 30-meter-long ship look like a black dot on a white sheet of paper.
Only beings of this size at the Supreme Monarch Level, resembling Corpse of the Mountain Peak, Totem Mysterious Snake, can be found.
Ai Jiangtu, Guan Yu, and the others were horrified. They each used their own methods to verify the discovery and found that there was indeed an unfathomable, mysterious behemoth beneath the ship.
Instantly, everyone froze, enveloped in a deep fear, and all turned to look at Lu Jun, asking anxiously, "What do we do now, Captain?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Jun decided to reveal part of the truth. "You should know that I have a very good relationship with the Hangzhou Xuan She, right?"
Upon hearing this, the others nodded, having all heard the news. Among them, Jiang Shaoxu's eyes sharpened slightly, and she looked at him with a strange gaze.
"The Black Serpent told me that it has a brother who lives in the vast territory of the East Sea. It probably sensed my presence."
Lu Jun, without changing his expression, casually remarked, "This is one of the few remaining ancient totems in the Nine Provinces. Don't worry, it shouldn't harm us, but of course, you shouldn't even think about finding it."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down by the words.
They stared at Lu Jun with strange looks, thinking that their captain had powerful connections and was involved in both human and transvestite affairs.
Guan Yu, Mu Tingying, and the others were speechless. "Who would want to mess with such a monster? It's Supreme Monarch, and it's in its home waters. I doubt even forbidden spells could catch a trace of it."
Jiang Yu, no longer afraid, said longingly, "Totem Beast... they must be some of the most perfect creatures. How wonderful it would be to see them with my own eyes."
