Night Fiend, Fusion Method / Hope for Summoned Beasts to Advance

Demon Capital Tower.

When Lu Jun heard Feng Zhoulong agree after much deliberation, he was overjoyed. With Professor Yuan and Feng Zhoulong under his command, the gathering of the Crouching Dragon and the Phoenix Chick meant that the world was within reach!

Feng Zhoulong said impatiently, "Quickly tell me the methods you can use to help develop Fusion Magic."

Old Feng wasn't stupid. Although he had agreed to join forces with Xiao Lu... uh, I mean Boss Lu, he still needed to verify things, otherwise he would suffer a huge loss.

"No problem."

Lu Jun spoke decisively, and with a thought, his powerful Mental Power surged forth, outlining the Star Chart of the Mind Element and the Star Chart of the Space Element.

Level 5 Mind Ripple: Mind Invisibility! Level 5 Space Rhythm: Spatial Anchoring!

Buzz buzz buzz!

Centered on Lu Jun, a layer of semi-transparent light first distorted the surrounding scenery, completely hiding him in the bustling city. Then, a circle of silvery light descended, enveloping all directions and constructing an independent 'space'.

Outside, Ling Ling, Xin Xia, and the others noticed that the two figures had disappeared; not only could they not see them, but they also couldn't touch them even if they passed through them.

They knew that Lu Jun wouldn't reveal the secrets of the Fusion Method so openly.

Besides, letting these people know the news is already enough of a friend. Following Lu Jun's approach, we can gradually promote it. They can be considered friends or allies anyway, and it will be their turn sooner or later, so there's no need to rush.

Soon, in the hazy, silvery space, Lu Jun took out the [Dog Man Corpse], the [Bei Jiang Corpse], and a large number of [Four-Colored Demon] corpses from his Portable Space.

Splash!

Hundreds of corpses were piled up like a mountain, the thick stench of blood and the Killing Aura soaring into the sky, almost as if illuminated by blood-red light.

Fortunately, Lu Jun sealed off this area; otherwise, this metropolis would have been shaken by this aura, and the people would have been in a panic.

Feng Zhoulong swallowed hard, almost thinking that Lu Jun was going to give him a hard time, trying to force him to buy something and kidnap him.

However, Old Feng carefully examined the corpse in front of him.

Each corpse was lifelike, with fresh blood and perfectly preserved residual oppressive energy from before death.

After all, Lu Jun's Time-Space Element has the effect of freezing time, and with the addition of his newly awakened Life Element and Death Element, he is practically indistinguishable from someone who has just died.

Before long, Feng Zhoulong figured it out and went forward to examine the Four-Colored Demon's magic core. It shone with four kinds of light: blue, white, yellow, and black, and had energy that was a perfect fusion of Ice Element and Rock Element, shadow and Water Elements.

"This is?! A natural Fusion Magic material."

Feng Zhoulong was shocked and immediately checked the other two human corpses. The Dog Man's summoning curse and undead magic fused together, and the Bei Jiang's shadow chaos star river directly merged into one.

These corpses before us are essentially a demonstration of every step of the Fusion Method's progress. If used for research, they could be used to easily master Fusion Magic, progressing step by step.

Write out the reference answers; what kind of researcher are you if you can't just copy them?

Old Feng gasped, then exclaimed with elation, "With these corpses, give me a year... no! Six months, and I can develop a mature Fusion Magic!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun raised an eyebrow and smiled broadly. This speed was several years faster than the Original Timeline.

Two or three years is enough time to significantly boost the combat power of the Nine Provinces' elites before the Pacific Empire's invasion.

For example, powerful figures like Hua Zhanhong, Shao Zheng, Pang Lai, Zhu Meng, and Han Ji, who stood by his side and helped him, possessed the Fusion Method and could easily contend with a Supreme Monarch or even Sub-Emperor.

With a thought, Lu Jun sent all the corpses back into his Portable Space, removed the sealing magic, and casually asked, "Old Feng, how about it? Following me will definitely not be a bad deal."

Feng Zhoulong reluctantly looked away, then said nonchalantly, "Okay, I'll go back and resign now."

After saying that, Old Feng turned around and went back to the Demon Capital Tower, intending to resign on the spot if necessary.

Mo Fan was dumbfounded, completely unaware of what was going on, and couldn't help but say, "So fast? Old Feng, weren't you doing a good job working for the Magic Association? You were even the head of the Demon Capital Research Department!"

Feng Zhoulong waved his hand dismissively. "Actually, the Magic Association doesn't support the [Fusion Magic] project, so we won't get much funding. If I really insist on going ahead, I'll have to find my own way. Since we already have a sponsor, why bother?"

Seeing this, Lu Jun didn't expect Feng Zhoulong to be so decisive, and quickly called out, "Wait, there's one more thing."

Old Feng stopped, and Lu Jun handed the Bei Jiang Corpse to him, smiling, "This is a member of the Assassin Hall. It contains a Dark Substance called 'Night Fiend.' I hope you can extract it and cultivate four more portions."

Lu Jun estimated that it would be too late to build a complete large-scale laboratory in a short period of time, so he would make use of the facilities of the Magic Association until then.

After saying that, Mo Fan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded, "That's right, that's right."

Feng Zhoulong was surprised, and replied, "No problem, it's a very simple matter. It'll be settled in a few days, just the funding..."

Lu Jun quietly kicked Mo Fan, signaling, "Hurry up and pay."

Mo Fan gritted his teeth, feeling a pang of heartache. Although Lao Lu had profited from the deal, it was still a normal transaction. Besides, Lu Jun had even given him pointers and revealed information about the totem, so he couldn't be too stingy.

After everything was settled, they stayed in the Demon Capital for a few days. The group then parted ways, Ling Ling went to visit her sister.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

In Feng Zhoulong's laboratory, Old Feng, dressed in a white lab coat, held a glass bottle from which a wisp of twisted black smoke rose.

Lu Jun and Mo Fan arrived upon hearing the news. The two looked at the Dark Substance of 'Night Fiend' inside the bottle and sensed its strange activity.

"This Dark Substance is remarkable; it's more powerful than most elemental Soul Seed. After fusing with it, the Shadow Mage's shadow manipulation ability has increased dramatically (original text)."

Feng Zhoulong shook his head and sighed, "If I hadn't studied Undead Element, and had to go through the processes of summoning spirits and refining flesh and blood, an ordinary mage really couldn't have done it."

Lu Jun was surprised, only then remembering that in the original novel, Old Feng had a secondary cultivation of the Undead Element.

That makes sense. Dealing with corpses every day, how can you extract research results from them without any methods?

What a coincidence! Professor Yuan cultivates Water Element, and staying by his side, Calamity Bringer wields the Water Element to Call Wind Summon Rain, will allow him to progress rapidly. Moreover, the foundation of his future power will be established in the Ancient Capital, which is also a paradise for Undead Element cultivation.

Mo Fan planned to refine it on the spot.

Lu Jun ignored them and took the three bottles of Night Fiend substance, intending to send them to Ding Yumian and Tang Yue.

Back at his temporary residence, Lu Jun went into seclusion to cultivate, drawing Summoning System Star Track. The moon-white Yuan Sect to the room was open.

A colossal beast, resembling both a lion and a stag, strode out. Its black and white mane was elegant and majestic, exuding an aura of arrogance and untamed spirit. Black and yellow lightning surged forth, accompanied by a thick Dark Aura, and its purple eyes seemed to cast a shadowy shadow over the creature.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast, with its mastery of the Shadow, Lightning Element, and Mind types, has reached the pinnacle of the Commander-level. Even if Cerberus Hell Three-Headed Dog with a powerful physique and three types, were to appear, it would be roughly on par with it.

Yo yo!

It calmly lowered its head, wondering why its master had summoned it out.

Chapter 508 Hope for Summoned Beast Advancement

Inside the room.

Lu Jun looked at the proud dream beast and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After the National Prefecture War, he continued to digest his strength and made rapid progress. The two originally powerful Contract Beast the Summoning System gradually could not keep up with the pace and were no longer useful in the battles that began with the trip to Africa.

The Mermaid Holy Spirit is alright; Lu Jun always chooses to merge with it in battle. Although the added Water Element power isn't much, it provides an extra Three Lights Holy Water ability, giving him more options. It's better than nothing.

As for the Night Thunder Dream Beast, it was depressed. It had the Wandering Bloodline Spirit Demon and was a loner. It was extremely warlike and was gradually abandoned by its master, which was naturally hard for it to accept.

Sensing his companion's emotions, Lu Jun tossed a glass bottle filled with black smoke to the Night Thunder Dream Beast, saying, "There's a Dark Substance here called 'Night Fiend.' See if you can refine and absorb it."

Upon hearing this, Night Thunder Dream Beast bit the glass bottle and shattered it without hesitation.

Snap! Waaaaah!

After a crisp sound, black smoke instantly rose, and large swathes of black mist continuously seeped into the body of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, even corrupting its soul.

Roar! The Night Thunder Dream Beast's eyes dimmed and its evil light intensified. Its powerful Mental Power burst forth, forcefully suppressing the black smoke that seemed to be alive. Thick dark energy spread, gradually digesting and devouring it.

Lu Jun's entire body radiated a moon-white glow, which transformed into gentle ripples that enveloped the Meditation Room, which spanned dozens of meters in radius. A kind of gentle evolutionary power nourished the body of the Night Thunder Dream Beast, aiding its refining process.

This ethereal aura seemed to be constantly refining the bodies and souls of living beings, bringing them to a state of perfect perfection.

[Coordinated Domain]!

Lu Jun didn't use it much after it was released. It can only be activated when all the Dimensional Beast, Contract Beast, and the host are present at the same time. It can comprehensively enhance the abilities of the three and allow them to borrow each other's power.

He then won this year's [Battlefield Treasure] - a wisp of evolutionary spiritual energy from the World Lord Tree in the Treasure Hunt Competition.

Besides being used on the Water Element Spirit, forcibly pushing her monarch bloodline to the level of Sub-Emperor, the remaining energy also surged into the Summoning Star River, causing some subtle changes in the Summoning System.

In addition to Lu Jun's Summoning System breaking through to the third level of the advanced stage, his Coordinated Domain has also gained the ability to assist in evolution.

For a typical Summoning Mage, the Coordinated Domain ability is absolutely top-tier.

Unfortunately, Lu Jun has too many Magic System and strong individual combat power. He is not a pure Summoning Mage and does not need to rely on the abilities of Summoned Beast. It would be more convenient to send them out as clones to help him.

However, when Lu Jun saw the Night Thunder Dream Beast refining the 'Night Fiend' substance, its aura rising wave after wave, almost breaking through to the Monarch level, he used it to provide some assistance.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Night Thunder Dream Beast's dark energy fluctuations were immense. It lay prone on the spot, its entire body pitch black, like something made of ink. Moreover, the dark swamp beneath it was gradually expanding, infiltrating the surrounding area.

Lu Jun's expression changed. His body shimmered with silver and moon-white light. He Coordinated Domain and the Time Domain to suppress the black swamp within a certain range and barely protected the room.

Soon, he sensed that his own shadow, under the influence of the Dimensional Beast's aura, was twisting and changing, as if it had come to life and fallen into the other party's control. In an instant, it swelled into a shadow executioner, exuding Commander-level aura.

"Interesting, darkness infiltrates, control over shadows."

Lu Jun remained calm and intrigued, indicating that the Dark Substance Night Fiend was indeed suitable for the Night Thunder Dream Beast.

A moment later, the Night Thunder Dream Beast's aura surged, its eyes opened, and an aura of supreme monarchical majesty emanated from it.

It was then forcefully knocked down and disappeared. The surrounding noise returned to normal, but its physique had only grown a size larger. It still exuded an imposing aura without anger and remained at the peak of the Commander level.

"Hmm? You've decided not to rush into a breakthrough, but instead to solidify your foundation and continue accumulating resources?"

Lu Jun was surprised, then showed a hint of admiration; he understood what the Night Thunder Dream Beast had done.

To be honest, given the depth of the Night, during the National Government's training period, they were baptized by the Warm Spring of many civilized holy sites, and also tempered by the Tyrant's Savage Thunder and the Night Fiend's substances.

Furthermore, having challenged various powerful enemies in the Summoning Plane, it shouldn't be a problem for him to break through to the Advancement Period and become a commander or even Sub-Lord.

But the Night Thunder Dream Beast was unwilling. It had great ambitions and wanted to use a vast energy in nature to undergo a rebirth and break through, striving to reach the Monarch Level in one go, with combat power at least at the level of a legitimate monarch.

Only in this way can I keep up with Lu Jun's pace and avoid being left too far behind again.

Yo yo!

The Night Thunder Dream Beast murmured, indicating that it was Summoning Plane wandering plane into a place filled with death and darkness, seemingly the outer area of Tomb of the Fallen Nation.

Even on the outskirts of this sacred land, many powerful leaders linger, most of whom yearn to ascend to the status of true monarchs, step inside, and become regional overlords.

"Is that so? The competition must be fierce."

Lu Jun was very curious about the situation of Summoning Plane. He cultivated the Summoning System and would eventually come into contact with the Tomb of the Fallen Nation once he reached the Super Rank. Moreover, the resources of Summoning Plane were abundant, and if given the opportunity, he even wanted to personally go to Other Worlds.

Unexpectedly, the Night Thunder Dream Beast, wandering aimlessly, came into contact with it first.

His Dimensional Summon beast path was clearly different from Mo Fan's Old Wolf. The other's white wolf preferred to gather its clansmen, dominate the mountains and forests, and howl over a region.

The Night Thunder Dream Beast a lone wolf who enjoys traveling far and wide. It has encountered many sacred cultivation sites and now intends to go to the Tomb of the Fallen Nation to challenge itself and absorb its Warm Spring, just like its crazy actions in the Dark Forest back then.

"Impressive, you've got guts. Be careful, let me know if you get hurt, I have plenty of healing here. Even if you die, don't worry, I have Death Element that can bring you back to life, and I'll still be bound to you."

After thinking for a moment, Lu Jun decided to let the Night Thunder Dream Beast roam freely, and encouraged it.

It seems he's been diligently cultivating these days, and his Summoned Beast haven't been idle either.

After absorbing the Night Fiend, the Night Thunder Dream Beast flicked its tail and returned to the Summoning Plane.

Lu Jun also took the opportunity to peek into the Contract Space and see what the Water Element Spirit was up to.

Before long, his vision entered a lake dotted with starlight, where a Mermaid stood asleep in the center, like a sacred jade sculpture.

Ring!

The Mermaid Holy Spirit faintly sensed its master's presence, its beautiful eyelashes furrowing slightly. A whispered murmur emanated from its soul.

After a moment, she fell back asleep.

"Hmm? Drowsiness?"

Lu Jun withdrew his gaze, lost in thought, considering the various physical characteristics of the Elemental Spirit race. Among them, the appearance of drowsiness usually indicated that they were on the verge of a breakthrough.

"Holy crap, how did the Mermaid Holy Spirit break through to the Monarch level without any warning?"

He was surprised and uncertain. He hadn't paid attention to his two Summoning System Contract Beast for quite some time, so why did they both seem to be advancing in rank? The surprise came too suddenly.

Soon, Lu Jun investigated and discovered the problem.

The supreme bloodline within the Mermaid Holy Spirit is extremely active, constantly absorbing the energy of the void and the Warm Spring of the Summoning System star system, steadily and firmly propelling her to leap to the level of monarch.
