The vibrations and rumbling from the abandoned campus spread outwards.

Residents and industrial workers in the vicinity were horrified to see a giant wave, thirty meters high, rising into the sky. What kind of Flood Demon was causing such havoc in the city, even affecting the celestial phenomena of this area?

The splashing water caused a light drizzle to begin.

Countless people called the police, but when the Demon Hunting Alliance arrived, they seemed to have been informed in advance and did not intervene rashly. Instead, they set up a cordon and covered the residents' evacuation.

I don't know how much time passed.

Lu Jun felt that the Water Element galaxy in his Spiritual World had dimmed, and the light of the sky-blue Water Repelling Pearl above his head had become subdued.

Almost half of my magic energy has been used up.

When he unleashed his twentieth Storm Wave, it was amplified by 400%, reaching the level of a high-level Great Soul Seed High-level Magic. It created a fifty-meter-high wave, enough to severely injure the minor Demon Beast.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Lu Mei, skilled and daring, moved her pure white Wind Wings and landed at the end of the river, looking down and observing.

The ten-meter-tall bat-winged monster had turned into a puddle of mud, floating on the 'artificial lake', with hideous wounds exposed everywhere, the congealed blood dull in color, and its true blood seemed to have lost its vitality due to the long-term attacks.

That terrifying healing power is gone forever.

Its head slowly turned, its ferocious face filled with resentment, and it growled, "You can't kill me. The bloodline of the vampire is indestructible. Even if I'm torn to pieces, I can awaken from my slumber by absorbing enough blood."

Waaah!

Lu Jun arrived on his flying sword, staring at the Great Demon, and sneered upon hearing this.

Too lazy to waste words with the other party, he flicked his hand, and a streak of dark light shot into the sky, soaring straight into the clouds.

After the Black Gold Dragon Pattern Sword reached its peak, it transformed into a magnificent celestial sword twelve meters tall and suddenly plummeted. Wisps of gray-white Tribulation Qi emanated from the sword tip, slicing through the void and leaving deep spatial cracks.

Intermediate Level Metal Element [Artifact Control - Magnetic Attraction]!

It looked like a gray Bright Venus floating in the sky, or like a meteorite streaking across the heavens, its sharp cry echoing through the air.

Upon seeing this scene, Nie Wei suddenly remembered the special Magic Tool that had brought him danger, and panic flashed in his crimson eyes.

Rumble!

The black dot in the sky continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye, it fell, striking the massive body of the Vampire Elder. Accompanied by a violent roar, it tore through the sky, the earth trembled, countless boulders flew, and dust billowed.

The tectonic plates in the area shifted, and the three of them staggered down several feet off the ground.

Ding Yumian and Lu Mei instinctively crossed their arms over their chests and squinted their eyes to block the overwhelming shockwave.

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw a massive sword, three stories high, standing upright in the deep pit.

The blood gushed out from Nie Wei's spine into his chest cavity, creating a huge, gaping hole. His white bones protruded, and his internal organs and flesh were scattered everywhere. His entire body was a pile of rotten mud, and wisps of grayish-white Tribulation Qi spread around the edge of the hole, withering away any life force.

Commander Rank Demonic Beast slain!

Lu Jun took a deep breath. It was only so easy because Ding Yumian and his sister was assisting him.

In a real battle, the vampires' ability to become shadowy, recover from blood loss, and Mind Invasion will be incredibly troublesome.

However, this is a human advantage—the ability to cooperate and utilize space and tools—there's not much more to say about it.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The Nie clan chief's lifeless body underwent some strange changes. His ugly corpse seemed to melt away, the black and shriveled substance fading to reveal a bright red liquid, crystal clear and radiant with a glow.

A massive corpse transformed into countless strands of blood, which converged into a crimson light source the size of a moon disc.

Suspended in mid-air, its abundant vitality and ominous curse blended perfectly, resembling Strange Blood moon, possessing a strange and dynamic quality.

Lu Jun exclaimed with delight, "This is... the [Blood Source] of Commander-level vampire!"

This exotic material is a naturally Curse Substance. If an ordinary person accidentally comes into contact with it and survives, they will become a vampire, perfectly absorb its energy, and transform into Commander-level Vampire Elder, thus opening a new lineage.

Chapter 164 concludes the story, and we make a fortune.

Lu Jun stood in the old campus, lost in thought.

No wonder Nie Wei didn't produce any spirit or Remnant Soul after his death; it turns out that all the energy, including his soul and flesh, had condensed into this mass of vampire blood.

Curse Substance, Dark Substance, is, in a sense, living beings.

He then took out a special magic energy box and stored the Blood Source inside. This thing could be used to sublimate Curse Element [Curse Mark].

When the time comes, go and collect the scraps of the Demon Element [Blood Seed], find a reliable magic master, and try to create a custom curse.

Judging by the timeline, it seems like it's almost time. Now that the Promotion Assessment are over, this year's exchange student experience has begun.

Lu Jun shook his head, saying that they could simply adapt to the situation.

The three exchanged a glance, nodded, and left. The Hunter's Alliance would naturally come to handle the traces of battle in this area, and the local residents and government would also reassure them and tell them the 'truth'.

The vampire case is now closed, but unfortunately only the Nie Family was found.

Fortunately, they were all wiped out, with no survivors. The other groups were also deeply shaken, and their activities immediately ceased, entering a period of dormancy.

Given the vampires' indifference, no one would retaliate. They're just rats in the gutter of a big city, tired of living, huh?

In addition, the Adjudication Court held at the North Country Club, the rescued women and children will need a period of psychological treatment, and their subsequent resettlement is an even bigger problem.

However, this has nothing to do with Lu Jun and the other two.

Night Hawk came specifically to express his gratitude; he hadn't done anything while following behind, yet he still received credit.

Afterwards, Ding Yumian returned to the Pearl Academy in a low-key manner without revealing any information. Those who knew about it, such as the official members of the Adjudication Court, had the Oath Tree and were instructed by Dean Xiao to keep it basically a secret.

Lu Jun and Lu Mei made a special trip to Liu Ru's sister's house to tell them what had happened, putting their minds at ease.

Among them, Liu Ru acted with unparalleled efficiency after the incident, decisively spending 100,000 to awaken her magic.

He was surprised to discover that this woman's talent in the realm of the mind was indeed remarkable; her first element at the initial stage was [Mind Element].

"Lu, I will try my best."

Liu Ru raised her little fist full of energy, her pretty face flushed, and said, "I will repay you in the future."

Seeing this, Lu Mei glared at her younger brother, as if to say, "You've bewitched another innocent little sister."

Lu Jun scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly, "It's okay, as long as you're living a good life, that's enough."

As the two left, Liu Ru stared blankly at their retreating figures.

The older sister, Liu Xian, came out of the house, glanced at her younger sister, and sighed, "Forget it, they're destined to be from a different world than us."

The girl remained silent, her gaze resolute.

Meanwhile, Lu Jun went to the Azure Sky Demon Hunting Agency to hand over his mission and met the Magic Tool Master Huo Tuo.

He handed the fangs he had pulled out from General-level Nie Dong, along with the video footage, to a dignified old man with the air of a great leader.

Huo Tuo picked up the two fangs and exclaimed in amazement, "I never imagined that vampires really existed! These vampire fangs can even be made into two vampire daggers or blood-sucking Magic Tool!"

He seemed satisfied with his curiosity and nodded, saying, "Tell me, do you want thirty million, or a chance to forge Magic Tool?"

Lu Jun originally wanted cash, but then he noticed the woman's alluring figure beside him and changed his mind, saying, "I'll just leave it with you for now, and we'll decide later."

"Okay, just come find me at the Oriental Pearl Tower then."

Upon hearing this, Huo Tuo said indifferently, turned around and left with his two fangs.

The older sister, Lu Mei, felt strange but didn't interrupt. Anyway, her younger brother still had three General-level Spirit, produced by vampires, which could probably fetch around 80 million at auction.

Little did Lu Jun know that his sister had been supporting him all along, leaving him no money to buy Magic Tool. The Halo Slash and Bone Piercing Shield Magic Tool he was using were already outdated and only good for dealing with Servant-level.

He plans to find materials to make a high-level, usable Magic Tool for his sister.

Even his own Mysterious Black Tortoise Shell Shield and Azure Cloud Boots were nearing the point of being obsolete.

Reselling these four Magic Tool could potentially bring in tens of millions of dollars.

A moment later, he went to the Magic Association to process three spirit essences, earning a little over 80 million. Including the 70 million his sister had lent him, his total wealth reached 150 million, a new high.

But not long after I got the money, I spent a small fortune.

Regress to 50 million.

Upon receiving a new [Star River Vein], Lu Mei couldn't wait to go into seclusion. She had been stuck at the Intermediate Level the Rock Element for a long time, and now she had also reached the Intermediate Level peak in the Fire Element, so she was short of money in every aspect.

As for Lu Jun, he wasn't in a hurry. With the Blood Source in hand, there was hope for a breakthrough in the Curse Element, and even the possibility of surpassing the Water Element to become an ace in the high-level system.

After all, Commander-level vampire Curse Substance is equivalent to Soul Seed effect.

The Metal Element will have to compromise a bit more.

There was no other way; both of Lu Jun's Intermediate Level awakened systems contained information about the opportunities in the original work, with clear enhancement paths. As his realm improved, he showed signs of taking off and eventually surpassing others.

The former is more like an unexpected bonus; we'll see how things develop.

After all this was done, more than ten days had passed.

Lu Jun returned to campus after a long absence and listened to his secretary Qing Yu, report on the Main Campus.

The Promotion Assessment are over! Mo Fan's Great Demon King team is the first to find the Shadow Demon.

Then, inside the beast fighting cage, he fought a great battle against the [Anti-Mo Fan Alliance], sweeping away dozens of Intermediate Level experts and winning the championship, thus extending his cultivation time in the Three Step Tower by another day.

Currently, he has broken through to the third level of the Fire Element and Lightning Element and the second level of the Shadow Element and Summoning System in his seclusion!

This formidable strength, upon entering the Main Campus and stepping into the Fire Institute, immediately caused a sensation.

Everyone finally took Mo Fan seriously, no longer regarding him as a clown imitating Lu Jun, but as a once-in-a-century prodigy.

Recently, Dean Xiao has been grinning from ear to ear. He was just thinking that he would be grateful for Lu Jun's success, but then another one Mo Fan, Innate Dual Elements, appeared.

Alright, Mingzhu is about to win its second consecutive inter-university exchange competition.

"Hiss!" Lu Jun gasped upon hearing this.

Others may not have the Heavenly Eye, but he knew Mo Fan's cultivation progress in the Original Timeline, and this template clearly exceeded expectations.

When Mo Fan arrived in Jinlin City, Mo Fan Fire Element had just broken through to level three for the first time. After that, all his elements dropped, and he wasted some time trying to catch up.

Now, the Fire Element has reached level 3 ahead of schedule, and there's also an additional Lightning Element!

Although he has one less Fire Element Spirit Seed than before, can you say that Mo Fan's current combat strength is not stronger than in the original story?

Lu Jun knew that this was due to a variety of factors. First of all, the opportunity to cultivate in the Three Step Tower for seven days was not used hastily, but was accumulated until the bottleneck period before being used.

Secondly, the college entrance competition was extended by one day. Don't underestimate this day; it's crucial. Being on the third level is equivalent to being in seclusion for several months in the outside world.

Finally, it's about being single-minded, free from trivial matters, and frantically taking on tasks to hone your skills.

In short, Lu Jun was delighted but not jealous, for the future calamity would be determined by the combined strength of the Azure Dragon and the Demon.

Moreover, his own cultivation progress was also quite fast, far exceeding expectations.

Chapter 165 Going to the Capital? The Teacher Leading the Team?

Lu Jun had just finished dealing with some trivial matters and hadn't even had a short rest when Dean Xiao urgently summoned him to his office.

As he walked down the corridor, he happened to bump into a familiar, easygoing man coming from the opposite direction.

"Old Lu," Mo Fan greeted him, "Did you complete that mission?"

Seeing this, Lu Jun was surprised. He glanced at the other person's beaming face and the deep blue crystal necklace around his neck, and immediately understood.

The Mind-Focusing Magic Artifact is probably what Mo Fan is going to use to participate in this year's exchange competition.

At this moment Mo Fan chuckled and leaned closer, saying, "Old Lu, I've heard about your affairs. It's quite decadent on the Main Campus. When are you going to bring out your harem support group for me to see?"

The dance club of the Water Institute on the Main Campus is famous throughout the academy. Ling Ling girls in pool dresses dance, and there are also Intermediate Level female mages. Wow, it's a top-notch experience.

Lu Jun was speechless. He glanced at him and said, "Your cultivation has reached the peak of the Intermediate Level. You're qualified to compete for the Chief of the Fire Element. Why don't you just form your own team then?"

"The Fire Institute mage girls have a unique charm too, with their fiery and sexy dance."

"Hahaha." Mo Fan laughed awkwardly, "You know my reputation. The girls from the Fire Institute are too fierce. If I go on stage, I'll probably get rotten eggs thrown at me."

"If only you weren't so sleazy..." Lu Jun shook his head. "Never mind, I have something to do, see you later."

"Okay, I also have important things to do, I need to conserve my energy."

Mo Fan nodded first, then asked curiously, "Old Lu, I'm not any worse than you were a year ago, am I? What level are you at now? How about we spar sometime?"
