National Team Resources, Water Magic Advanced Second Tier / Elimination Day, Space Magic Advanced

This is the Sawtooth Green Demon, Servant-level Sea Monster. Its body is covered in green, warty scales, its mouth is serrated, its lower body is like a frog's, it is amphibious, and it has extraordinary jumping ability.

As the most numerous species in the coastal waters of Japan, they have always served as cannon fodder, but even cannon fodder is still a Servant-level Demonic Beast, and their numbers are so huge that anyone would be terrified.

Various Magic Radiance flickered at the entrance of the building, a testament to the National Team's strenuous efforts to maintain order.

Fortunately, the terrain was narrow, so we didn't have to face too many enemies at once. Ten people took turns, which was barely enough.

Lu Jun acted decisively, this time using Water Element magic, which couldn't be more appropriate for this occasion.

The next moment, dark blue light surged around him, and one picture after another unfolded, with rippling blue waves, forming a Water Constellation.

High-level Water Element High-level Magic [Water Glory Sky Curtain]!

The level 1 effect specializes in protection, but under the influence of the talents of Tide and Wither, and further distorted by the control of the Water Domain, it has undergone drastic changes.

In fact, in the original novel, Mo Fan also started by mastering the fire element, and various self-created magics emerged one after another. Lu Jun was naturally no weaker than his opponent.

A huge hole appeared in the sky, from which dark blue water poured in, turning into countless strands that slashed down, while the thick white mist around them surged and quickly condensed into fine threads.

Upon closer inspection, these lines are all high-pressure water flows with extremely rapid speeds.

Lu Jun's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and he suddenly clasped his hands together.

In an instant, the sky and the ground were filled with crisscrossing, pitch-black threads, densely packed, some slashing, some sweeping, some entangled, and so on, cutting hundreds of Servant-level Sawtooth Green Demon into countless fragments.

In an instant, the world before my eyes turned completely red, and countless blossoms of blood splattered everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, countless tiny blue specks of starlight rose from the sky, and swallows returning to their nests poured into the White Tiger Pendant.

The hundreds of Servant-level Remnant Soul, when combined with the complete essence that exploded, amounted to seven or eight Servant Essence Soul.

Lu Jun was satisfied. He hadn't restocked the White Tiger Pendant since leaving the Ancient Capital. Right now, he only had three synthesized General Essence Soul, two Commander-level Remnant Soul (two great ghost ministers), and one complete Commander-level Spirit Essence (Crimson Ling Demon).

All of these combined seem to be enough to light up nearly two hundred Level Four Star Seed, bringing me very close to advancing to High-level Four magic.

Then, with a thought, he plucked a string, and within a radius of several kilometers, a large number of black threads were rapidly pulled and spun.

Straight, thin, high-pressure water jets sliced through the air, shredding not only Servant-level into tiny pieces but also General-level into indistinguishable fragility, even pulverizing Fortified buildings forged with Earth Element magic.

Rumble!

One building after another collapsed, their cross-sections perfectly smooth. The same was true for the gigantic war Sea Monster; their limbs and bones were torn into many parts, collapsing like building blocks, scattering blood and flesh all over the ground.

Lu Jun's killing intent was too ruthless. All the Japanese monks nearby were horrified and retreated repeatedly, not daring to approach.

"What's that beep up there? Why is it so powerful?"

The general in charge of this neighborhood raised his binoculars and stared intently at Lu Jun.

Ai Jiangtu and his group, who were hiding inside the rest area building, were jolted awake. They were splashed with blood as soon as they stood at the door, their bodies reeking of blood and the smell of salted fish.

But they were startled and then became extremely excited, exclaiming, "It's Captain Lu Jun! He's finally here! Thank goodness!"

Li Kai, Mu Tingying, Zhou Xun, and the others, who had been struggling and harboring resentment, were silenced by Lu Jun's terrifying strength and cheered instead.

In a short time, Lu Jun went berserk and slaughtered an entire clan.

Thousands of Servant-level Demonic Beast were combined to form a total of seventy complete spirits, while the General-level Spirit increased to five. It was impossible to synthesize a single spirit by killing one hundred generals.

They failed to kill a single Commander-level.

Once Demon Beast reaches the Commander-level, it becomes extremely intelligent. Several Great Demon within the water network were cut by the withering water network, leaving dense wounds on their bodies, and they retreated in horror.

Keep in mind that even a small portion of the power from High-level Magic attack was enough to break through their defensive scales. If the human had taken it seriously, they would have been doomed.

Lu Jun was powerless to pursue the Demon Beast leader who had re-entered the deep sea; there were too many cannon fodder among these Sea Monsters, and they kept dying one after another.

His killing efficiency was not as good as focusing on killing large Servant-level. The combined effect of thousands of servant Remnant Soul was no less than that of a commander Remnant Soul.

In a short while, this street transformed into a hellish Purgatory, turning completely red, its appearance unlike any other protected street.

Any Demon Beast that accidentally strays into the path is instantly reduced to pieces, much like the infrared laser warning system in a game, capable of cutting through anything.

"This move's self-created magical reaping ability is extraordinary. Derived from the Water Glory Sky Curtain, let's call it [Water Curtain Strangulation Net]."

Lu Jun muttered to himself, "The net of heaven is vast; when it covers everything, all things perish."

He had mastered the technique of using a high-pressure water gun long ago, but its destructive power was only so-so until he obtained the [Wither] talent, which gave it this kind of power.

Gradually, none of the Sea Monster on the Japanese Sea Battle City dared to approach.

At the top of the building, Lu Jun stood tall, his black and gold coat fluttering in the wind, exuding an aura of domineering authority as if he were the one guarding the street.

Just then, the tide actually retreated. Since the Demon Beast here with Lu Jun were the first to retreat, from the sky, the first blank area appeared in the vast black tide, making it look as if he alone had forced back the entire Sea Monster army.

The Japanese monks, all of whom were staring at him, remained stunned for a long time.

After a long silence, someone finally answered the general's question, "He is the Huaxia National Team, a Chinese citizen!"

Chapter 295 National Government Resources, High-level Two Water Element

Sea Battle City walls.

After the Sea Monster tide receded, some of the Japanese sorcerers guarding the hundreds of kilometers of coastline cheered, some were relieved, while most remained numbly silent, gathering materials and healing their companions.

With the establishment of Tokyo Sea Battle City, similar sieges had occurred countless times. From the initial fear and excitement to numbness and weariness, they gradually became accustomed to it.

Those still cheering are nothing more than new recruits who have just joined the army.

From afar, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Jiang Yu's Summoned Beast, Night Rakshasa, rushed over and witnessed Lu Jun's Water Element transforming the water of heaven and earth into Killing Intent threat. They were extremely shocked, as every drop of water posed a fatal threat to the Sea Monster.

Mo Fan exclaimed, "Wow, that's awesome! We still haven't obtained a Soul Seed. If we did, wouldn't the commander be as easy as a chicken? At level three of the high-level rank, we could even try fighting against opponents of higher ranks or ordinary Super Rank."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ningxue didn't speak, but glanced at him with her eyes, as if to say, "I'm listening to your bragging."

Mo Fan got anxious about this. "Hey, hey, hey, don't disbelieve me. I've seen dozens, if not hundreds, of Super Rank battles, and I've even fought seven or eight monarch-level creatures."

Mu Ningxue was too lazy to listen any further and took White Cry Demon's poison sac to save Nan Rongni.

Nan Rongni almost died before because she was poisoned by White Cry Demon, which caused the entire team to lack healing and eventually led to the team's near collapse.

The antidote for this poison requires the Bell-Binding Demon, which is why Mu Ningxue left the group alone to search for the White Cry Demon.

However, it was all Nan Rongni's doing, intending to force Mu Ningxue to take risks and thus kill her. (Original text)

Inside the building, with Lu Jun turning the tide, Ai Jiangtu, Guan Yu, Jiang Shaoxu, and others felt much less pressure and breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as the Tide receded and Mu Ningxue returned, Jiang Yu excitedly said, "It's over! Quickly treat Nan Rongni!"

When everyone fed the antidote to Nan Rongni, her complexion improved significantly.

Furthermore, after the war ended, the Japanese government sent a large quantity of medical supplies. Lu Jun's achievements earned him the respect of the Japanese sorcerers in the region, and everyone no longer treated these Chinese people with hostility or disdain.

When Lu Jun returned from outside, the brilliance of the Water Element star river in his Spiritual World had dimmed considerably. Although the battle had yielded remarkable results, it had also resulted in significant energy depletion.

Of course, compared to other Magic System that consume energy to kill equally Demon Beast, it consumes far less energy, truly deserving of its reputation as a renowned area-of-effect Magic System.

He was calculating the magical energy he would need to fight his way through the sea battlefield to the Mermaid Sea, lest he be rendered useless in a moment of crisis while searching for the Water Element Spirit.

Exploring the ocean is different from exploring land. As one of the few Magic System that can move freely in water, Water Element mana bar is like a mage's lifeline.

Fortunately, Lu Jun possessed the treasure [Water Repelling Pearl], which stored an extra copy of the same Water Element magical energy.

"That's not enough. If we encounter Water Element Spirit Lord, we'll need to fight our way out of the underwater encirclement and cross the sea battlefield to return. We'll need to prepare another trump card."

Lu Jun pondered inwardly, his gaze settling on the sixth element, the Space Element, a high-level Teleportation —the initial purpose of awakening this element.

Now, after a period of training and with ample resources, he is finally confident of promotion, and he plans to go into seclusion and cultivate in Tokyo Sea Battle City.

He looked at the exhausted and demoralized team members and asked, "Do you still want to train in Sea Battle City?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone shook their heads, joking that they had almost lost several people in this massive wave and didn't want to continue.

Moreover, according to the regulations of the National Academy's instructors, the first round of elimination is about to begin, and everyone is eager to digest the results of their battles and improve their cultivation so as not to become one of those eliminated.

Seeing this, Lu Jun shook his head. The ivory tower was indeed different from the mages who often hunted demons. A considerable number of the young masters here were experiencing demon hunting for the first time.

Mu Ningxue wanted to stay and gain more experience, but as an Intermediate Level cultivator, she couldn't stay alone. Without teammates or support from higher-level cultivators, her chances of dying were very high.

Her expression darkened; she clearly knew the chances of failing the upcoming selection process were high.

The National Team left Sea Battle City and returned to the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, where they rented a hotel to rest and relax.

The corpses of Demon Beast slain in the Sea Battle City are handled by the Japanese government, and the price paid to the demon hunters will not be discounted in the slightest.

At the same time, the government allocated resources to each individual's designated account, with each official member receiving an average of 100 million, while core members Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu, who possessed High-level Magic, received 150 million each.

Mo Fan originally a substitute and wouldn't receive the bonus. He only obtained the Star River Vein by selling the essence produced by the Crimson Ling Demon Commander, which allowed him to advance his Lightning Element to a higher level.

Now, due to unforeseen circumstances, the Commander Essence Soul has been lost, but the bonus has compensated for it. Not only Dual Element High Rank, but his third element, Shadow, is also about to reach high level, putting him ahead of schedule.

However, Lu Jun's gains were even greater. As the team leader, he received a share of 200 million yuan, and with the Commander-level Spirit Essence he planned to sell, he had a substantial sum of over 300 million yuan in hand.

Not to mention that Dean Xiao sent over a copy of the [Star River Vein] through international channels, which was a gift when he became an apprentice and a sign of support after joining the struggle for the National Government.

His Summoning System and Space Element are poised for advancement to higher levels, [all abilities at higher levels], greatly increasing his combat power.

Coincidentally, in addition to the resources provided by the state, the various powerful forces behind the National Team also began to exert their influence and provide additional funding.

Among them, Zhao Manyan was the most outrageous. His father, under pressure from the board of directors, sent three portions of Star River Vein in one go. Zhao Manyan spent money to upgrade and failed three times in a row before finally advancing to the high level.

Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

At the hotel where the National Government members were staying, Lu Jun sensed several High-level Magic auras emanating from the rooms of several team members, indicating that their cultivation levels had greatly increased.

Only Mu Ningxue gave up the struggle; she couldn't raise enough money for 100 million.

It should be noted that the Japanese government has distributed the rewards from the monster hunting, and every team member has scored points. She has only accumulated ten or twenty million in funds. As a substitute, she cannot receive national support, making it too difficult for her to advance to a higher rank.

This is also a common problem among academic elites.

Lu Jun slaughtered an entire clan of Sea Monster, adding another hundred million to the total, bringing the total to over four hundred million, enough to buy an artificial small Soul Seed.

As for Mo Fan, after obtaining the funds, he decisively bought a Star River Vein and, just like in the Original Timeline, intended to give it to Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue was very touched, but she still refused, not wanting Mo Fan to hinder his cultivation progress because of her.

Even so, this gesture greatly improved Mu Ningxue's opinion of her, and her gaze towards Mo Fan softened.

All he could say was that sincerity was the ultimate weapon for winning over girls.

Lu Jun treated his sister, Ding Yumian, and Tang Yue the same way, and fate rewarded him accordingly.

At this time, the National Team were busy and could not be seen all day. Lu Jun was no exception and began to focus on improving his cultivation.

Buzzing! Inside Lu Jun's room, a dark blue glow filled the room, illuminating all directions. Waves surged one after another, as if the deep sea had descended upon the Mortal World.

The White Tiger Pendant around his neck shone brightly, radiating immense Warm Spring, causing the Water Element galaxy within his Spiritual World to rise.

Chapter 296 Elimination Day, High-Rank Space Element

Splash!

In the Dark Universe, a shimmering, dark blue celestial river suddenly expanded, more than doubling in size.

Water Element High-level Two promotion!

The secondary effect of Water Glory Sky Curtain is [Cage], which can transform the sky into a water cage to trap enemies, thus greatly increasing the power of the self-created magic Water Curtain Strangulation Net.

With the long-term nourishment of the White Tiger Pendant and a suitable cultivation environment, he finally broke through.

Lu Jun sighed with emotion, realizing it was no easy feat. He was the first Water Element to break through to the advanced level. Although he hadn't devoted all his energy to it, it had been almost a year since then, and the progress was quite good.

Just as he was preparing to use the Star River Vein given to him by Dean Xiao to break through to the advanced level of the Space Element, the instructors from the National Academy arrived and summoned everyone.

In the hotel lobby, the five mentors stood together, and Dean Xiao smiled at Lu Jun as he approached.

Feng Li said calmly, "Everyone's here, right? It seems only Mu Ningxue hasn't reached the high-level stage yet."

He said impartially and ruthlessly, "Then Mu Ningxue, pack your things and come back with us. Your new partners will be arriving in Japan soon to join you."

Mo Fan hesitated, wanting to speak up for Mu Ningxue.

But Lao Zhao stopped him, shook his head, and gestured for him to look at the others. Most of the members stood by and watched, no one willing to speak.

Outside, the gloomy weather typical of Japan prevailed, with a light rain falling. Mu Ningxue sadly followed the five mentors away.

At this moment, Mo Fan gritted his teeth, suddenly rushed out into the rain, and shouted loudly in the misty rain, "Instructor Feng Li, I voluntarily leave the National Team and become a National Academy Guardian with Mu Ningxue."

After saying that, Mu Ningxue turned around and looked at Mo Fan in surprise.
