Ai Tutu then became obedient.

Even so, in a fleeting glance, Lu Jun saw something he shouldn't have.

Sitting next to her brother Lu Mei, the older sister, keenly noticed the strange look in her brother's eyes. She snorted coldly, reached out her fair hand from under the table, and swiftly gave her brother a slap on the waist.

Hiss, Lu Jun gasped... Ouch, it doesn't hurt!

His physical body had long been tempered and refined, to the point of being almost inhuman.

Finally, Lu Mei hummed softly and turned her head to the side.

Lu Jun was helpless; there was nothing he could do about it—these enchanting women's playful antics were simply too eye-catching.

As time went by, Mu Nujiao and Qing Yu's faces flushed from the alcohol, a stark contrast to their usual noble, gentle, and aloof demeanor, revealing a new charm.

The four became acquainted and, amidst laughter and conversation, genuinely recognized each other as sisters.

Finally, several stunningly beautiful faces huddled together at the banquet, pressed close to each other, made celebratory gestures, and took a group photo.

Then they put their long legs together and sat down, stretching their beautiful legs all the way under the table, their various types of jade feet swinging happily.

Whether petite and delicate, or like a flawless, round pearl, or with brightly colored and alluring nails, another photo was taken before the shoot ended.

Of course, Lu Jun didn't participate; he had already been shooed aside.

Get used to it; you'll almost never see guys in photos of girls' parties.

After the dinner party ended, everyone went home Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu, who had just moved in today, went back to their apartment and fell asleep as soon as they lay down on the bed.

Qing Yu was helped downstairs by Chen Yu on foot, and then driven away.

Lu Mei, the older sister, clung to Lu Jun as they were taken back to their room, leaving the living room a mess for him to clean up.

Fortunately, Lu Jun is a Water Element mage with decent control over water elements. He controlled the Star Track, and several Water Stream Ribbon flew out, swirling around the table and floor, sweeping away the grime and leaving everything spotless.

The process removes dirt without damaging ceramic bowls and chopsticks, and the wastewater is directly flushed down the kitchen drain.

He returned to his room after finishing his business and saw that Lu Mei reeked of alcohol and sweat, and her fair skin was slightly sticky. He frowned, hesitated for a moment, then blushed and took a towel to wipe herself.

Soon, Lu Mei was given a quick and simple cleaning, leaving her clean and refreshed. Of course, he behaved himself and didn't touch anything.

Just as Lu Jun was returning to his room, a low groan came from behind him, making his face stiffen. "Holy crap, was my sister awake the whole time? Oh no! I'm doomed!"

But he waited quietly with his back turned, and when there was no more sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and went back to meditate.

After her younger brother left, Lu Mei sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, covered her flushed face with her hands, and felt a little relieved.

Perhaps she wasn't ready, and didn't want to be too hasty. She didn't know what to do after what just happened, and was just going to let things take their course. But Lu Jun was very honest, and for a moment she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Nothing happened that night. Lu Jun got up early the next morning, went to his sister's room, and started talking about serious business.

The two looked perfectly normal, as if they had no recollection of what happened last night, yet they seemed to have become even closer.

"Sister, what about the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency?"

Before Lu Jun could finish speaking, Lu Mei calmly pulled out a bank card from her bosom and said, "You want to buy [Star River Vein], right? You're short tens of millions? I have twenty million in this card."

Upon hearing this, he was taken aback and asked, "Where did you get this from?"

Lu Mei snorted and said, "While you're training, I can't slack off either, besides mastering magic. Otherwise, I'd be waiting for you to make the sacrifices. I'm going to support you, so I took on a few missions at the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency."

"Oh, by the way, there's this older sister, a little older than me, who became the Deputy Chief Judge. Her name is Leng Qing. I worked with her for four months. She's a really nice person. I'll let you meet her later."

"I was saving this money to buy a Fire Element Spirit Seed, but you can take it if you want. A higher-level one is more important after all."

Lu Jun suddenly realized what was going on, and after hearing this, he was deeply moved and did not refuse.

Don't forget the last Star River Vein; the siblings pooled their money to buy it too, so we didn't stand on ceremony.

"Thank you so much, you're so kind."

Overjoyed, he rushed forward, hugged Lu Mei, and gave her a big kiss on the cheek.

Finally, both of them paused slightly, then parted ways as if nothing had happened.

Lu Jun was unable to contain his excitement and wanted to quickly buy a Star River Vein to break through to a higher level, but he still patiently asked his sister with concern, "Be careful when you're on missions, are you alright?"

"Don't worry." Lu Mei waved her hand gently and said, "I won't take too much risk without you. Leng Qing and I mainly only take on Intermediate Level missions, so we're absolutely safe."

She understood her brother's feelings perfectly; she had felt the same way back then. She urged him hastily, "Go and try to break through! Tsk tsk tsk, a high-level cultivator at less than twenty years old!"

Lu Jun didn't hesitate and hurried to the academy, where Chen Yu was to pick him up.

He was strolling through the Green Campus, heading towards Dean Xiao's office, when he suddenly heard a burst of indignant roars and shouts.

It originated from the nearby Beast Fighting Arena.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jun was slightly taken aback, only then remembering that today was the Beast Fighting Competition for the opening ceremony of the school, and out of curiosity, he went over to take a look.

As he approached the Beast Fighting Arena, he realized he had underestimated his influence. On the way, both senior and junior students greeted him with awe and called him Chief Lu. Upon arriving at the Beast Fighting Arena, the audience seats were surprisingly empty.

This attracted everyone's attention.

Lu Jun remained calm and nodded to everyone, then looked towards the center of the arena, realizing what was going on.

On the central arena, Mo Fan provoked the entire audience by activating a special ability for the Summoning System, allowing him to plunder all the resources of the new students by taking on two hundred people single-handedly.

They are currently on a winning streak, having swept away two hundred people in one fell swoop, but this has aroused public anger.

After all, compared to Lu Jun's upright and honorable demeanor, Mo Fan, although in accordance with the rules, still felt aggrieved by the public; the difference was too obvious.

Mu Nujiao didn't show up this time; she's currently lying in bed at home... oops, that's a bit ambiguous.

Even if she were there, if she knew that Mo Fan Lu Jun's friend, she probably wouldn't bother to stop him, and naturally, they would lose contact.

A moment later, the crowd erupted in cheers. One of the older men stood up and roared, "Mo Fan, before you could take on the entire department single-handedly, Lu Jun had already swept through them all! If you're so capable, why don't you learn from him?"

But who Mo Fan? He's incredibly thick-skinned and doesn't take it seriously at all. He believes in fair competition and following the rules. As a commoner, he needs a lot of resources to grow.

Lu Jun glanced at it but ignored it, then turned and left. The main reason was that someone nearby recognized him and wanted him to uphold justice.

To avoid trouble, I left early.

Chapter 149 Advancement to High Rank!

On the stage, Mo Fan also saw Lu Jun. Seeing the other party leave so decisively, he felt grateful but also a little annoyed.

Who knows what he encountered at the Pearl Academy?

Just as they were about to make their mark, they took a closer look and realized that Lu Jun completely outmaneuvered them, with his name appearing on various lists and legends.

The hearts of all the girls on campus are filled with thoughts of Lu Jun, and the boys are also filled with longing for him. It's amazing!

What do you mean by "Emperor Russell"? (Image attached)

It was only after his roommate Zhao Manting explained the meaning of "chief" that Mo Fan finally understood.

Suddenly, he felt a sense of urgency and immense pressure. His peers had left him far behind, and he had to catch up.

However, when faced with a gap, he only strives to catch up and doesn't feel jealous. Others' rise is their own achievement, and he has his own path.

On the other side, Lu Jun was walking towards Dean Xiao's office.

Although Mo Fan's Rose Flame was gone this time, he hadn't even used his Fire Element to begin with. His Lightning Element and Summoning System alone were enough to sweep away the two hundred freshmen.

He doesn't need to worry about the future; with the Little Loach pendant, earning a living with Fire Element Spirit Seed is as easy as having hands.

Soon, Lu Jun went to his teacher and, through internal channels, purchased a copy of [Star River Vein].

In an instant, his 100 million yuan was wiped out, and he was back to being penniless.

Lu Jun was heartbroken. In order to ensure the success of his advancement, he used the seven-day Three Step Tower cultivation opportunity to go into seclusion and advance.

After a few days, he obtained the Star River Vein. Inside an exquisite wooden box was a sparkling star diamond the Size Change of a pebble, which contained a vast amount of energy.

Without hesitation, he stepped into the Three Step Tower.

Buzz buzz buzz!

At this moment, the vast energy of the void converged, and the azure water element poured down.

Lu Jun sat cross-legged below, bathed in the misty glow of the sunset. He held the star diamond in one hand, absorbing pure magical energy, while his thoughts penetrated deep into the White Tiger Pendant, drawing all his essence into the Azure Star Nebula.

Clusters of pale blue flames ignited in the Nebula, transforming into a Mysteries power that nourished forty-nine stars.

Only the seven Beads stars in the very center did not absorb the essence of the Nebula; they remained majestic and unmoved, not needing this power.

Eight Servant-level Spirit Essence were used to refine eight stars... ten General-level Spirit were refined in one go, and the Commander-level Remnant Soul was the most powerful, perfectly refining the remaining twenty-four stars.

Bang bang bang!

A series of stars expanded, like popcorn, and all forty-nine stars in the Water Element Star Nebula transformed to level four or above, with forty-two of them becoming several times larger than before.

The entire azure Water Element Star Nebula surged and expanded outwards in several concentric rings.

Intermediate Water Element four, [Storm Wave - Heavenly River Breaks Its Banks]!

Amidst the deafening roar, a thick, transparent membrane of light appeared at the edge of the Nebula, gradually thinning out—that was a high-level fortress!

At the same time, Lu Jun had a sudden inspiration. The Star River Vein in his hand melted, and a surge of energy flowed into the Nebula, forcefully impacting the barrier.

Rumble!

Lu Jun sat cross-legged, his body shimmering with light, Water Element magical energy emanating from him and swirling around him like a deep Water Vortex, a rumbling sound emanating from within him.

Finally, under the combined effect of the three forces, the high-level barrier was unstoppable and was torn apart in an instant without any resistance.

The next moment, he stood up, let out a long roar, and his body was covered in water that shot into the sky. The azure vortex was like a Water Dragon coiling around him. With a sudden leap, he soared into the sky like a dragon and disappeared into the void, spreading out into a lake of auspicious clouds.

Lu Jun exuded an imposing aura, his trench coat fluttering, his presence surging with power. The Water Element Star Nebula his Spiritual World shattered, and the intense pain in his soul was suppressed by his powerful spiritual will.

Soon, the Nebula transformed into a galaxy, a vast and magnificent blue river flowing through the boundless Dark Universe. The water was condensed, and the waves were crystal clear, resembling a winding blue dragon soaring through the sky.

The starlight from the Water Element merges into one, creating a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight.

343 stars are densely distributed in the azure Milky Way, flying and shuttling about, scattered like stars, adorning the night.

There are 49 stars that are more vibrant and brighter than the other 294 stars, and they are obviously the 49 enhanced Level Four Star Seed. The other 294 stars are still in their infancy and their light is faint.

Water Element advanced to the next level!

Lu Jun opened his eyes, and the surging water mist around him outlined a magnificent constellation phantom, consisting of 343 nodes, combining the seven major Star Chart into one.

If he can depict this constellation, he can cast the high-level Water Element magic [Water Glory Sky Curtain], which is the strongest high-level defensive magic.

Seeing this, he nodded in satisfaction. From then on, the tortoise shell was officially formed. With the Water Shield, Shield Magic Tool, Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword, and the Water Glory Sky Curtain, he no longer needed Professor Yuan's assistance and could stand and fight the Great Demon of the Sub-Commander.

Within the Spiritual World, this vast galaxy firmly occupies the center, with the Platinum Nebula, Dark Green Nebula, and Transparent Nebula carefully surrounding it.

Lu Jun carefully comprehended and improved, discovering that although his spiritual will was nourished when breaking through to a higher level, it lacked strength afterward, and he still failed to advance to the [middle realm] of the Fourth Realm, remaining between the third and Fourth Realm.

He had anticipated this, after all, it wasn't a high-level mental Magic System. You should know that with Mo Fan's efforts, he could only reach the late stage of the second realm for most high-level magic.

Besides, Lu Jun's most significant change is undoubtedly his greatly improved control over elements. Combined with the Tidal Spirit Seed, the fourth-level Storm Wave, Water Repelling Pearl, his destructive power is formidable, and he has gained more skills in shaping.

In short, he needs to explore gradually, learning magical techniques such as mist and mirror images, and eventually elevating them into Water Element Domain.

"Of course, there's also the physical body. Am I about to reach what Professor Yuan calls the Blood Essence First Realm '?"

Lu Jun muttered to himself, introspectively observing the leap in his physical body. A surge of Water Element magical energy descended from his Spiritual World, sweeping through his entire body and further solidifying his muscles, blood, and internal organs.

The key point is that the layer of translucent white fascia is becoming more and more exaggerated, turning into a bright red color, with a kind of steel-like toughness.

Buzz!

Suddenly, he clenched his fist, straining until it turned red, and his body's energy surged rapidly, flowing through his veins like a mighty river. His muscles solidified, and a certain power, dormant within him, began to rise.

Countless strands of blood and qi gathered on Lu Jun's skin, condensing into a layer of amber-like blood light that rippled. His entire being exuded Killing Aura and murderous intent, resembling a ferocious beast.

But he couldn't maintain it for long; he quickly deflated and returned to normal, his muscles relaxing.

" At the Blood Essence First Realm, one barely meets the minimum standard for General-level Demonic Beast's body, and can achieve effects similar to physical demonic arts with Qi and Blood."

Lu Jun was surprised by this. He had killed countless Demon Beasts and monsters. Even the lowest -Advancement Period servants could use some basic physical demonic arts.

It is formed purely from the energy of blood and qi, presenting an eerie, blood-ink color.

He now possesses the same ability, only his color is purer and brighter, though it cannot last.

Lu Jun thought of Mo Fan in his later stages, when the Demon Element brought him a boost. Once he was in a state of anger, his pupils and body would turn blood-black, which he thought was a manifestation of the entry of qi and blood into the body.
