High-level Completion, the Dream Beast's Advancement / Meeting the Blue Bat Again
At the same time, Lu Jun felt that he lacked the means to restore his magic power. However, he did have a Primary Magic Curse Element Dream Eater, which gnawed at Mental Power to feed back magic power, and the Water Element Spirit's Three Lights Divine Water, which gathered starlight to restore mana.
Unfortunately, both have limitations. The former is merely Primary Magic, limited to Curse Element, and it's questionable how much mana it can restore. The latter is limited by its environment, and its Water Element Spirit cultivation is only at the Intermediate Commander, making it unable to intervene in Monarch Level battles.
However, Lu Jun cannot solve this problem immediately and can only make up for it slowly in the future, including improving his resistance to Poison Element. Perhaps he can learn from Mo Fan and find a healer with the Blessing Element from the Parthenon Temple to rely on?
To be honest, he didn't ask for much more from Blood Abyss. It could elevate his combat power to that of a legitimate monarch at such a small cost. What more could he ask for? Besides, the magic energy of the Six Major Elements was usually more than enough.
At this moment, Lu Jun, having regained his strength through the blessing of the female mage of the mixed-blood temple, felt a surge of immense power coursing through his body as he stared intently at the thick, dark cloud of insects in the sky ahead.
Although Jun Yaojin's blessing power cannot instantly restore the Saintess or the Temple Mother to full strength, it is more than enough to deal with the Dark Sword Master is at his last gasp.
Then, the translucent light in Lu Jun's eyes activated the [Imagination Domain]. He vaguely saw wisps of blazing faith rising from the battlefield and converging on him.
This is the positive faith that Lu Jun rallied among the people, mages, and powerful individuals as Savior after he stepped forward during the crisis in the Puxini City-state.
Rumble!
The next moment, he transformed all of this abundant Power of Imagination into Light Element energy, which is most effective against the undead. His entire body surged with endless pure white radiance, transforming into a blazing white sun in the void of the Dark Duel arena.
With a scream, Lu Jun illuminated the world with a vast expanse of white, engulfing the dark insect cloud. The dark insect cloud burst out with a painful, sharp screech, accompanied by a hissing sound as it melted away, inch by inch turning into ashes.
The Dark Sword Master has fallen!
When all the commotion within the Dark Duel arena subsided, only the armored shell of this Sub-Lord and a rising, blazing blue sun remained on the pitch-black earth.
The former is the corpse of the Dark Sword Master, worth around 200 million, while the latter is Remnant Soul of Monarch Level being, containing immense soul energy, suspended in mid-air, with a certain resentful and fierce will stirring up terrifying fluctuations, filled with unwilling emotions.
Monarch-Level Creature do not die but remain alive.
Lu Jun's face was slightly pale, and his magical energy was nearly exhausted. He sneered when he saw this.
Without him even lifting a finger, the White Tiger Pendant on his chest trembled, and the lifelike white tiger's eyes glared, captivating and soul-stirring!
The void, azure-blue soul let out a mournful cry, its scattered soul power flowing into the pendant.
Outside, at the very moment Lu Jun slew the Sub-Lord, Staff Officer Fenna and Mo Fan joined forces to break through the Liejian Death Servant clan's position and planted instruments inside the mirage pyramid.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The enormous and magnificent illusion vanished in an instant, and the eerie, dark Nether Radiance that had blotted out the sky disappeared as well, leaving the center of the basin completely empty.
The vast tide of undead on the battlefield paused, forced by the gradually emerging sunlight to burrow into the ground. At the same time, they no longer had any meaning in guarding the pyramids and receded like the tide.
"The Dark Sword Master is dead, the mirage has vanished, and we have won this battle!"
"We've won! We've finally won!!"
The entire Puxini City-state cheered, filled with jubilation.
The members of the Huaxia National Team and the mages of Parthenon breathed a sigh of relief. Even though this country had nothing to do with them, the feeling of potentially saving lives was really good.
Before long, the Dark Duel arena in the center of the battlefield, which had attracted everyone's attention, gradually disappeared, and the towering black triangular prism collapsed.
Lu Jun closed his eyes and meditated on the spot. Without relying on any external force, he killed the Sub-Lord on his own, which means that his current combat power is comparable to that of Councilor Zhu Meng, a Super Rank expert.
However, he was not arrogant. In the future Mo Fan, High-level Completion, along with several young experts, had also killed a Dark Sword Master at the level of a Minor Monarch in the Pharaoh Pyramid.
Lu Jun thought to himself, "I don't need to underestimate myself. I'm still a long way from fully mastering all six elements. When the time comes, I will definitely be able to accomplish such a feat on my own."
Furthermore, his Curse Element seemed to have been honed in battle; the surrounding Curse Aura was so thick that he seemed eager to break through his bottleneck.
Therefore, without delay, Lu Jun sat cross-legged before even finishing cleaning up the battlefield, absorbing the lingering dark Warm Spring left after the Dark Sword Master's fall.
Not only that, he also released the Night Thunder Dream Beast. The pyramids are the most famous architectural wonders of Egypt, undoubtedly possessing a rich cultural atmosphere. With the added benefit of the dark environment, they will also reach the next level.
When Staff Officer Fenna and the members of the Huaxia National Team found Lu Jun, they were stunned to see a man and a beast breaking through their cultivation on the spot. What a ruthless person! Breaking through on the battlefield.
Fenner immediately dispatched men to protect them, instructing, "Do not disturb them. Lu Jun is a hero of the Puxini City-state. Leave the rest to us."
Even while meditating, Lu Jun remained vigilant about the outside world. Sensing this action, he nodded silently, acknowledging the gesture though it was unnecessary, and focused on his cultivation.
Rumble!
After a moment, he looked inward into his Spiritual World and saw a vast, surging black and red star Tide. It was already on the verge of reaching level three under the nourishment of the Ancient King Armor Robe and the White Tiger Pendant, and now there was no obstacle to its breakthrough.
Advanced Level 3 Promotion!
In an instant, the Curse Element galaxy expanded to its limit and crashed into a thick wall, like an indestructible chasm, a barrier of the Super Rank.
The phantom images of the Earth Ghost Fiend and the Sky Ghost Fiend, which are used for Ghost Execution of Through-the-Net, appeared in the Milky Way. Nourished by the energy, they rose steadily and underwent subtle changes.
Chapter 381 High-level Completion, Dream Beast Enhancement
Battlefield in the suburbs of Pushini.
Lu Jun suddenly opened his eyes, his body filled with a thick Dark Aura, and strange black sacrificial patterns spread all over his body, making him look like a demon king from hell, sending chills down one's spine.
Upon seeing this, the members of the Huaxia National Team all stepped forward to congratulate them.
Guan Yu said enviously, "Captain Lu must have reached the advanced level three by now."
"More or less." Lu Jun casually brushed it off, then turned to look at the Night Thunder Dream Beast beside him, thinking to himself with delight, "It should be breaking through to the Grand Commander level this time, reaching the peak of the Commander level so quickly, it's really worry-free."
At the same time, he began to examine his own cultivation level: high-level level three in the Curse Element, Summoned Beast commander. This trip to Egypt had yielded considerable gains.
He should be the first member to High-level Completion in this National Mansion Competition, surpassing Zhe Luo in progress. Zhe Luo's Wind Element is probably not even at the third level of the high-level stage yet.
Waaaaah!
Before long, the Night Thunder Dream Beast's Dark Aura surged, suddenly unleashing a surging black fog that instantly engulfed an area of hundreds of feet in radius, turning the world into a pitch-black expanse, and melting the ground into a shadowy swamp.
Like a high-level, top-tier Night Ruler Magic, the Lost Black Mist!
The nearby Egyptian Military Mage were startled, almost thinking that the Dark Sword Master had been resurrected and returned.
Fortunately, the Night Thunder Dream Beast quickly concealed its aura and withdrew its surging Dark Domain, restoring normal visibility within a hundred feet.
This handsome black and white stag stood silently in place, without a trace of life; if it weren't for being visible, one might mistake it for air.
"Neigh~, "the Night Thunder Dream Beast let out a soft cry, as if it were satisfied. In just a year and a half since it followed its master, its cultivation had broken through one after another, finally reaching the peak of its species and reaching its complete form.
Seeing this, the members of the Huaxia National Team were even more envious.
Lu Jun recalled the dream beast to the Summoning Plane, looked around at the blood-stained earth littered with corpses, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's finally over."
"Yes," a soft female voice suddenly echoed from nearby, "We can go back and give an explanation to the Parthenon Temple, and maintain our influence in Egypt."
Upon hearing this, Lu Jun looked over and saw Jun Yaojin smiling. His eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to express his gratitude, saying, "Thank you for your blessing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to defeat the Dark Sword Master."
Jun Yaojin surprised everyone by saying, "In that case, as a token of my gratitude, would you be my guardian knight?"
Hearing this, Lu Jun was filled with questions. Good grief, he was just being polite, and now he's taking advantage of the situation?
He knew very well that while the Guardian Knights of Parthenon might be a bright future for common mages and ordinary nobles in Europe, enjoying widespread popular adoration and a prestigious status, it was beneath him, a member of the National Team.
Ultimately, the maid's guardian knight was merely a subordinate.
The mixed-race female mage said frankly, "I see you are very strong, and I also lack a guardian knight worthy of my trust. I would like to invite you to take on this role."
"Forget it." Lu Jun shook his head, then smiled and said, "I think your abilities are quite good. My hunter team happens to be lacking a Blessing Element healer. Why don't you come work for me?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Yaojin surprisingly lowered her head and pondered seriously, nodding and saying, "That makes sense. You are a strong person worth following. I wonder how the treatment should be calculated?"
"Huh? You're serious?"
Lu Jun was surprised. He had said this half-jokingly and half-seriously. On one hand, he really wanted to trick the temple mage of Parthenon, Blessing Element and Healing System would be of great help to him. On the other hand, he thought it was impossible.
Parthenon was indifferent to China, and the group of female mages under his command, who were patriarchal in Europe and America, also looked down on China, regarding it as a backward region and had no intention of helping it.
This has resulted in extremely rare mages of the Nine Provinces Blessing Element, with only a few members of the Nanrong Family having awakened this ability.
Jun Yaojin smiled and said, "Yes, I am very interested in Chinese culture and yearn for that ancient land. I would like to visit it if I have the chance."
Lu Jun coaxed, "Okay, if you can come, I'll definitely offer you a high salary. I have some influence in the Ancient Capital and a private territory. I'll cover all the resources for your growth to the Super Rank."
Qing Yu: Fuck your mother, you're treating me differently, aren't you?
After she finished speaking, Jun Yaojin said in surprise, "You are actually a powerful nobleman."
The two were chatting animatedly when Mo Fan, who had approached, pursed his lips and looked at Xin Xia and Mu Ningxue, secretly pleased with himself. Haha, at least he wasn't being fed dog food this time.
After the war, the National Government staff rested in the Puxini City-state for a few days. In addition, it was time for the National Government mentors to distribute resources, so everyone was busy digesting the post-war gains.
After chatting with Jun Yaojin for a while, Lu Jun subtly inquired about her situation and discovered that she was indeed four or five years older than him. She had mastered Triple High Level, and although her speed couldn't match his, she was still considered a genius.
Unfortunately, she's stuck in the Super Rank realm, lacking resources and opportunities. Her family can't provide support, and the Parthenon Temple doesn't value her, so she's been unable to break through to the Super Rank for a long time, which is why she's thinking about changing jobs.
Unfortunately, the Parthenon is not an organization that you can simply join or leave as you please.
Although the two had the intention to cooperate, they lacked the necessary conditions.
However, Lu Jun was in no hurry. Once Xin Xia became Saintess, given his relationship with Mo Fan, it would be a piece of cake for him to transfer Xin Xia to the Ancient Capital of China as a trainee maid.
Now that Salang is dead, where will the Parthenon crisis lead in the near future?
Lu Jun shook his head and asked for Jun Yaojin's contact information, kindly reminding him that he could contact him if he encountered any trouble.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, Huaxia National Team set off for Venice, the venue for the National Mansion Competition.
Lu Jun bid farewell to Jun Yaojin, and Mo Fan also reluctantly left Xin Xia.
After a few hours' flight, they arrived in Venice, a city built on water. The medieval bell towers, churches, and painted buildings all around them instantly transported them to the history of Europe, as if they had traveled through time.
The water network is extensive and crisscrosses, with each street separated not by roads, but by rivers and streams, creating a beautiful and dreamlike scene filled with a tranquil atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
It is said that thanks to this unique environment, more than half of Venice's residents have awakened Water Element magic.
That's right, this is official data! This city is teeming with Water Element mage geniuses. (Original text)
Surrounded by this environment, Lu Jun felt the abundant Warm Spring of the water elements from all directions, and the dark Water Element galaxy in his Spiritual World became active, increasing his cultivation speed by several times.
Seeing this, he showed a look of surprise. If he could stay in seclusion for three months and have the White Tiger Pendant to bless him, he would be able to raise his Water Element to the third level of the advanced stage.
So when the Venice Competition begins, he will have two High-level Completion.
He suspected that some kind of Water Element- based treasure was hidden deep within Venice, or perhaps it was an ancient relic that made it so special, creating a blessed land for Water Element sorcerers to cultivate.
Upon entering Venice, the National Team disbanded, each member having their own tasks to complete, striving to improve their cultivation before the National Mansion Competition began.
Lu Jun did the same, simply renting a Meditation Room to cultivate in seclusion. At this point, the only thing he lacked in the advanced realm was cultivation level; there was no way to advance further in terms of cultivation methods.
Chapter 382 Reunion with the Blue Bat
Lu Jun went to the Venice Magic Association and spent some money to rent a high-level Meditation Room. The residence was located at the confluence of hundreds of rivers, where the water element energy was abundant.
Although it's not as grand as the Three Step Tower Mingzhu, it's not far off.
Incidentally, he asked Zhao Manyan to help sell the Dark Sword Master's body. As soon as Zhao and Mo Fan entered Venice, they went straight to the auction house.
The former sought his brother Zhao Yougan's help to obtain family funding in order to acquire multiple Soul Seed before the National Mansion Competition, while the latter raised a total of 1.2 billion to auction off a top-grade Lightning Soul Seed.
Due to his current strength and status, Mo Fan has received more funds than the Original Timeline's 800 million after experiencing the bounty for the Drowning Curse, the Sahara rescue, and two government donations during the Egyptian battlefield.
Furthermore, his cultivation level is high in all elements, with his Lightning Fire elements, which he broke through early on, both reaching the second level of the High-level Two.
Of course, Lu Jun also reaped considerable rewards. In addition to the entire small high-grade Metal Vein promised by the Cape Magic Association in Africa, he also had 400 million to make the [Night Fiend], and after the war in Egypt, the National Government also allocated 300 million in funds.
When Zhao Manyan returned from the auction, he disposed of the Dark Sword Master's body, earning 200 million, bringing his total funds to [900 million], a record high.
The Dark Sword Master's armor was originally worth at most 100 million, which is the normal value of the Sub-Lord's corpse.
However, the humanoid armor has a unique appearance, and some European nobles and wealthy people like to buy it and cast it into sculptures to display in front of their manor as a symbol of prestige and heritage, similar to the stone lions at the gates of powerful families in China.
Only someone from a wealthy and powerful family like Zhao Manyan would understand the intricacies of this.
However, even with 900 million in his hands, Lu Jun couldn't do much.
Anyway, the third metal in the Metal Element has already been found. Other high-level treasures don't offer significant upgrades, and I can't afford Super Rank treasures. Plus, I'm not far from getting Super Rank treasure, so I might as well hoard money to buy [Star Sea Vein].
If the Star River Vein is Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that allows one to break through the barriers of higher levels, then the Star Sea Vein is an upgraded version of the same series.
However, the two are very different. The Star River Vein can be refined multiple times at a high level, while the Star Sea Vein can only be refined once in a lifetime. Refining more than one will have no effect, so the price is naturally expensive, around two to three billion.
"Or perhaps, to buy large quantities of [Thought Stone] to elevate Mental Power level?"
Lu Jun's mind raced. The so-called Thought Stone was a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the Magic Plane, specifically designed to enhance Mental Power, and it had no limitations or side effects.
According to the principle that the more Thought Stone one refines, the more Mental Power one gains, Mo Fan obtained a Thought Stone during the National Mansion Competition, which allowed his Mental Power level to leap from the second realm to the Fourth Realm.
Currently, his cultivation in the Six Major Elements has repeatedly broken through, reaching the peak of the sixth realm and touching the threshold of the upper three realms, Heavenly Gate thicker and more hopeless than the Super Rank barrier.
