Summoning Magic Advanced Second Tier / Searching for the Four-Colored Demon

As for the Sound Element, which is also one of the four major systems of "Dimensional Magic," cough cough cough... I'm sorry, as the shame of the Dimensional Magic system, the Triangular Dimensional Mirror has not included the function of this system at all.

Sound Element: That's enough!

Professor Yuan: You're right, but the Sound Element is the strongest...

Lu Jun mentally filled in the blanks for a moment, then came to his senses and realized that Sound Magic might not have even been invented in the era when the Triangular Dimensional Mirror was created.

He then stored the prism away in his Portable Space, figuring it was best not to use it openly before Leng Jue died, lest it bring trouble upon himself.

Of course, the Triangular Dimensional Mirror is not useless under normal circumstances; wearing it can accelerate the training speed of Summoning System and Space Element.

Lu Jun was quite satisfied with this. The gains from this operation were a great boon to the two systems that were undergoing high-level awakening, and he would probably catch up with the progress of the four older brothers soon.

Especially for the Summoning System, with the successive strengthening of the Night Thunder Dream Beast and the Mermaid Holy Spirit, and the cultivation of the Spirit Carving Method and the opening of the second Contract Space, reaching the High-level Two is just around the corner.

With this help, Lu Jun will likely break through after a little cultivation.

The Space Element will be a little later, but it's estimated to be soon.

Having been tested in the battle against the Evil God Leng Jue, he became increasingly optimistic about the Time- Space Element. The subtle changes brought about by the amplification of the Time Domain in the three major magic systems of junior high, high school, and senior high school were incredibly practical.

The basic level of spacetime Phasing and the advanced level of Teleportation that restores two displacements are both unbeatable countermeasures in battle. They can hold their own against enemies of vastly different strengths, and against enemies of the same level, they are a piece of cake.

He had also tried the Intermediate Level [Space Rhythm] modification, with pleasing results. Under the Time Domain, it was named [Reincarnation Rhythm], which seemed to be aimed at changing a person's lifespan, like plucking the string of lifespan.

Although this skill can only manipulate lifespan within a range of two or three years at most, it is a killer move for some old mages. Those who were already close to the end of their lives can truly die if they age by just two or three years.

Lu Jun had a strange thought: it seemed he would have to bear the title of "killer of the elderly" from now on.

Unfortunately, he recalled that most of the world's elderly and powerful beings were still some distance from their natural death, and the cycle of reincarnation, though seemingly abnormal, was actually quite useless.

"Well, having this ability is already quite good, and this is just the beginning. Once your cultivation is fully developed, the two major techniques will become even more terrifying."

Lu Jun thought to himself that compared to the extremely wide upper and lower limits of the Imagination Domain in the Mind Element, which focuses on accumulating prestige, he preferred the practicality of the Time-Space Element.

Not long after, he returned to the Kyushu team's headquarters at the Freedom Temple, where Ling Ling had already returned to meet up with Mo Fan.

When Lu Jun stepped in, he saw the two talking.

"Ah!?" Ling Ling exclaimed in surprise after hearing what had happened, "You said Pei Li, who tried to assassinate you, was dealt with on the spot?"

"Yeah." Mo Fan scratched his head, then his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Jun appear at the door. He said quickly, "Hey, Lu, do you know the Black Vatican tried to assassinate me? Luckily your Night Thunder Dream Beast was there, otherwise it would have been very difficult to handle."

Wailing!

The shadows in the corner of the doorway writhed. Seeing its master return, the Night Thunder Dream Beast let out a soft cry, gracefully and calmly approached, then transformed into a wisp of shadow and vanished into the moon-white Teleportation Gate, returning to the Summoning Plane.

His expression seemed to say dismissively, "A flea clown, nothing."

Lu Jun chuckled and flattered, "Not at all, you Mo Fan, are the one who's Fu Da."

Ling Ling glanced at Lu Jun. She had received news from the Freedom Temple and knew what had happened at the New York airport. She was well aware of the inside story.

However, seeing that Lu Jun was not making a fuss, she didn't dare to speak up on her own.

Then, Ling Ling, disapproving of Mo Fan's smug expression, sneered, "You're just an executioner; you can't solve the root of the problem. These assassinations will only happen again and again until you stumble and fall."

"It's alright. My strength is constantly improving. The members sent by the Black Vatican are just sycophants."

Mo Fan spoke with extraordinary confidence and arrogance.

Immediately, his expression changed, and he said to Ling Ling with a fawning tone, "It's just that I need resources to improve my strength, so I invited you here to complete the Hunter's Alliance's bounty and accumulate funds."

"Ling Ling, it's all up to you now."

Chapter 360 High-level Two Summoning System

Freedom Temple.

Hearing Mo Fan's request, Ling Ling seemed unsurprised. She turned on her computer and said, "I knew you were short of money. I carefully selected a few bounties when I came. You can do them while you're training at the National Academy."

"However, judging from your current cultivation level, I reckon ordinary small-scale operations won't satisfy you. I've got my eye on a Da Sheng. I'll let you know when it's ready, and then we'll see if you can handle it."

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together like a fly, shamelessly declaring, "Don't worry, your Brother Fan is not what he used to be. I just cut down the Black Vatican's executioner."

Ling Ling was speechless. Was this all your achievement? It was clearly the whole team's.

She glanced at Lu Jun, then looked at Mo Fan, who looked like a complete idiot, and felt a pang of disappointment. He had silently exchanged blows with Leng Jue several times, giving the Cardinal a crushing defeat without making a sound.

Well, I chose this hunter as my teammate, so I have to keep going no matter how tiring it is.

Lu Jun seemed to be deep in thought, knowing that Pei Li's assassination attempt had put pressure on Mo Fan, but he was just hiding it with a nonchalant attitude.

In fact Mo Fan is making great progress now, and he suspects that the fifth element may be about to reach a high level.

Suddenly, Lu Jun remembered something. Among the knowledge inherited from the Inca, there was a method that was very suitable for the other party, called [Chaos Copy]. It could copy any magic spell, which was currently the fastest way to improve combat power, with immediate results.

If Mo Fan learns this, his damage output will at least double.

He intended to pass on his knowledge to Mo Fan, without any ulterior motives.

Firstly, it's unnecessary; the Peru army has Chaos Mage who all know how to do it, and Mo Fan can learn it by spending a little money. Secondly, the Inca Empire hopes that its heritage will spread and be widely known as an alternative continuation of civilization.

"If you want to improve your strength, you can start with the Chaos Element. I've never seen you use that element before."

Lu Jun explained, "By altering the spatial order, you can reshape the trajectory of the enemy's magic attacks, adding a layer of protection to your fragile defenses and compensating for your weaknesses. The Chaos Vortex absorbs the reflected damage..."

Hearing this, Mo Fan was initially confused, but then it became increasingly clear. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Damn, so this is how the Chaos Element is used?"

Finally, Lu Jun casually revealed the key to the method. "By the way, I also have a Chaos Copy Technique, which can copy a spell that has already been used once. However, you can only use it if your Chaos Element is at a high level."

"Wow, Lao Lu, that's a real shill!"

Mo Fan was extremely excited. He felt that once he reached a high level in both the Space Element and Chaos Element, he could easily defeat Ai Jiangtu with his Teleportation and Chaos Copy.

The terrifying nature of Innate Dual Elements or six magical elements is such that it becomes increasingly monstrous as the game progresses.

Immediately, Lu Jun drifted away, casually saying that the stronger Mo Fan's cultivation, the more Demonization would become, making him an indispensable fighting force in the face of future calamities.

Of course, he didn't forget to add a reminder, saying meaningfully before leaving, "Come find me after the National Government comes. Spend a few hundred million and I'll help you strengthen the Shadow Element to an unbeatable level."

After hearing the explanation of the specific abilities, Mo Fan was very tempted, but when he looked at his wallet, he found he was short of money.

Lu Jun had long guessed that he was extremely poor, so he decided to teach the Chaos Copy after the National Government's closure. This was like 'fertilizing' the leeks; if you want to harvest leeks, you have to make sure they grow well, and incidentally, make a name for yourself.

Want to become stronger? Find Lu Jun!

The cost of producing four portions of Night Fiend Dark Substance will be instantly recovered. By using Mo Fan to generously give his girlfriend a hand, you might make a killing, but I never lose out.

It's not a question of whether it's a scam or not; it's a normal transaction, money and goods exchanged, even close brothers keep clear accounts.

Lu Jun returned to his room and took advantage of this rare opportunity to focus on his cultivation.

Buzzing! He sat cross-legged, and above his head, a crystal-clear triangular prism, shimmering with seven-colored light, floated in the void, appearing and disappearing, hidden in the crevices of space, faintly glowing, and emanating a mysterious power.

Countless strands of summoning energy surged from all around, as if opening up Summoning Plane from Other Worlds. Combined with the Warm Spring of the White Tiger Pendant itself, the moon-white starry river expanded step by step.

Suddenly, the illusory marks of the Mermaid Holy Spirit and the Night Thunder Dream Beast flickered deep within the starry river.

With a crisp bang, the starlight membrane shattered the barrier, growing significantly in length and width, and a surge of powerful moon-white magical energy overflowed.

Summoning System advanced to High-level Two!

This is Lu Jun's fourth High-level Two skill. There's not much to say about the effect of the level 2 Gate of Beast Tide. Compared to the unpredictable changes of the Mind Element skill's Shadow, this enhancement is simpler and more direct.

This means you can summon an additional 40 warrior units to the basic unit, or you can spend 20 warrior slots to exchange for a [Commander of Monsters] to match, with a maximum of two.

If we take into account Lu Jun's Mental Power enhancement, with a wave of his hand, hundreds of high-bloodline warriors could sweep through thousands of troops.

After a few days of rest in the United States, the Huaxia National Team set off for their next destination.

They flew directly to Tinoaya, a Portuguese city on the Atlantic coast!

This city is a hub for hunters who take on missions related to the Atlantic Ocean, and it houses a significant branch of the International Hunter's Alliance.

Lu Jun and Mo Fan, having greatly increased their strength, lost interest in challenging the National Pavilion of ordinary countries. They both left the team to travel alone, leaving Ai Jiangtu to lead the team and act as their caretaker.

Of course, their goals were different, and they didn't end up together.

Mo Fan pulled Mu Ningxue and Ling Ling along, acting all mysterious, wondering what they were going to do as a team.

Lu Jun was aware that they were probably eyeing the unsolved mystery in the international bounty pool: [The Drowning Curse by the Sea]!

Every year, strange things happen in coastal areas around the world. Some people become inexplicably thirsty, run frantically towards the ocean as if they have lost their minds, and eventually drown in the deep sea.

Even the victim's family members' attempts to restrain him were futile; his insane and twisted nature was chilling.

Because the cause is unknown, it is known as a curse. Countless victim families have given the Hunter's Alliance tasks in an attempt to resolve the issue, but all have come to nothing.

The [Bounty Pool] was created to address this issue. A very small number of duplicate bounties that hunters worldwide could not handle, no one completed them, and the bounty amount would not be refunded, so the funds would continue to accumulate.

Just like in a lottery, if no one wins in this draw, the winnings accumulate and go into the prize pool for the next draw.

Therefore, each of these bounty missions offers extremely generous rewards, and each is also quite challenging, facing the challenge of hunters from all over the world.

If a hunter manages to complete even one of these tasks, he will gain both fame and fortune.

Take the Drowning Curse by the Sea, for example. If Lu Jun remembers correctly, it has accumulated to around 400 million over the decades.

As soon as the original work was completed, Mo Fan's Hunter Certificate immediately jumped from two-star Hunter Master to four-star Hunter Master.

To some extent, the existence of bounty pools also leaves a glimmer of hope for solving those unsolved mysteries. With so many extraordinary people and talents around the world, the mystery will be solved sooner or later.

Although Lu Jun knew the root cause of the Drowning Curse at the seaside was a creature called the Vile Maggot, whose eggs parasitized deep within the human body, absorbing nutrients, and after hatching, it controlled the host, causing the host to actively throw itself into the sea to complete the process of returning to the sea.

Then the Vile Maggot will quickly pass through their infancy, find a powerful host to replace them, and evolve into mature forms.

But he wasn't interested; the process was too tedious. To verify their guesses, Mo Fan and his group spent their time babysitting the Vile Maggot in the ocean, and in the end, they were almost overtaken by the Vile Maggot that had devoured the pseudo-dragon.

Lu Jun has better opportunities to earn resources and the most efficient way to make money; there's no need for him to interfere.

After all, the Hunter's Alliance's words are not enough to prove anything. Even if you know the reason for the Drowning Curse, you still need to record the entire process to verify it.

Chapter 361 Searching for the Four-Colored Demon

Lu Jun had his own things to do. Long before he killed the Bei Jiang, he had issued a bounty to the Hunter's Alliance, asking the dedicated Hunter Miss to gather intelligence and find the Four-Colored Demon!

As everyone knows, the formula for Fusion Magic is: Bei Jiang Chaos Shadow Galaxy + Feng Zhoulong + Four-Colored Demon + Large Amount of Research Funds = Summoning a Divine Dragon... cough cough cough, Fusion Magic.

He had already obtained the remains of the Bei Jiang; all that remained was the crystallization of the Four-Colored Demon, so naturally, he should obtain it as soon as possible.

After spending tens of millions, they finally located a Four-Colored Demon Clan living near the Atlantic Ocean.

Unfortunately, Lu Jun didn't waste his money. In fact, the original work didn't cover this aspect much, and it didn't even describe the physical characteristics of the Four-Colored Demon in detail.

Furthermore, the names "[Four-Colored Demon]" were only given to these Demon Beast two or three years later when the Sea Demon Empire invaded and discovered them. Currently, humanity's exploration of Sea Monster is not nearly as deep.

Fortunately, he still remembered the abilities of the Four-Colored Demon, who were born with four major attributes: ice, earth, shadow, and water. They possessed two Fusion Magic: shadow and water, and ice and earth, with the latter being the key.

Feng Zhoulong deciphered the secret that the Four-Colored Demon could use Fusion Magic without conflict, and combined it with Bei Jiang's Chaos Shadow Fusion, summarizing it into a universal law that was extended to all elements.

Having identified the ability's characteristics, many low-level hunters were mobilized to search for it before it was finally captured.

To Lu Jun's surprise, he had assumed that the Four-Colored Demon, having landed in the South China Sea, lived in the deep waters of the South China Sea. He hadn't expected them to also exist in the Atlantic Ocean, which was quite convenient.

Upon receiving this intelligence, he decided to take matters into his own hands to save money. According to his informant, the lowest level of the Four-Colored Demon race is General-level, and coupled with their mastery of Fusion Magic, their combat power is heaven-defying. Moreover, they live in groups, making them extremely difficult to deal with.

We'd need to hire at least a team of High-Order Mage skilled in deep-sea warfare; that would cost at least seven or eight hundred million in hiring fees.

"I might as well do it myself. I can kill some Four-Colored Demon, collect some General Essence Soul, and max out all six Primary Magic to level five. All I need to do is work on the basic Metal Element Forge."

Lu Jun thought to himself, "I've arrived at the Hunter's Alliance branch. I need to get the location from the contact girl, and then I'll head towards the Atlantic coast."

Bell!

On the beach of Tinoaya, Lu Jun stood with his hands in his pockets. With a thought, he didn't even need to describe the magic of Intermediate Level Contract Summoning. The Mermaid maiden awoke with a start, let out a soft moan, and voluntarily emerged from the Contract Space.

With a whoosh, the Tide rolled and surged on the sea, countless waves swirling and converging, and a graceful and stunning figure materialized, a starlight-lit gauze dress swaying in the sea breeze.

The Mermaid maiden's pretty face was melancholy, as if she were gazing at the sea and thinking of her mother far away in the Pacific Ocean, wondering how she was doing.

Lu Jun comforted him, "Don't worry, I contact your mother from time to time using the Thousand Mile Soul Lock technique. She is also in love with you, and she is safe and sound to this day."

That's true. He has planted spies on Leng Jue, Wu Ku, Blue Bat, Mermaid Queen, and others, and has been keeping a close eye on them.

For example, Leng Jue is still deeply mired in the United States quagmire, playing hide-and-seek with the Freedom Temple in the countryside, unable to extricate himself for half a year or so.

Wu Ku was completely dumbfounded. The news of the assassination attempt on the China Team by the Black Vatican had shocked the world. He was overjoyed, thinking that the Bei Jiang, but the subsequent news reports revealed that it was Cardinal Leng Jue's subordinates who were responsible.
