A few hundred a month, what are you risking your life for?

The viciousness on Lu Wanqing's face had vanished, replaced by disbelief and confusion!

Why?

Why was this happening??

Why would a Primary Mage of the Light Element release Fire Element Magic?

He thought he was mistaken, or that it was cast by some special Magic Tool. But the soaring crimson flames before him, the dazzling star track around him, and the scorching heat rushing towards him told him it was all real!

"Innate... dual-element?"

Lu Wanqing squeezed out these four words from his throat.

This Blondie had awakened Light, and also awakened Fire! He possessed a Talent more enviable than an innate Spirit Seed!

Why?

God, are you blind! Why waste such terrifying Talent on a kid who hasn't even grown body hair, and not give it to me!?

Why!

The resentment of extreme jealousy was so thick it felt tangible!

In just a few seconds, Xu Fang became the person he hated most in his life, bar none!

"Do you know how much I was bullied before? Do you know what kind of mockery I endured? Just because I awakened the Light Element, because I had no money or power, I was a damned cripple!"

Lu Wanqing's eyes were bloodshot: "And just when I finally became an Intermediate Mage and possessed the Fire Element, you appeared! You turned me into a joke! A clown!"

"What I strived for my entire life, even falling into the Black Vatican and living on the edge of a knife every day, you were born with!?"

"Why should you!?"

"I ask you, why!!!"

The humiliation of high school, the disregard from the Judgment Society, coupled with joining the Black Vatican, had made his heart even more extreme!

He no longer held back his Demonic Energy; he had no intention of letting Xu Fang live. He wanted to use his furious flames to burn this damned brat to ashes!

"An inspirational story for criminals? If written as heartwarming advice, it might be a bestseller." Xu Fang sneered: "But there's one thing I need to correct: you didn't strive for half a life, but for your entire life—because today is your last day!"

Feeling wronged, huh?

I, Xu, am best at transforming people. After today, I guarantee you won't feel wronged anymore!

Fire Seed against Fire Seed, like two colliding meteorites, a massive mushroom cloud rose from the top, flames splashing everywhere, leaving nothing but scorched earth within a radius of over ten meters!

"How is this possible!"

Lu Wanqing couldn't believe his eyes.

He watched as his Fire Seed: Burst, the moment it touched Fire Seed: Bone Burn, seemed to have its spine removed. Its expected ferocity was completely gone.

Normally, regardless of their cultivation level, ordinary Mages would release magic of almost equal power, with only slight fluctuations due to Demonic Energy.

Upon advancing to Intermediate Mage, the speed of casting magic would be much faster than Primary Mages, but the power remained the same.

It was like the Fire Seed: Burst cast by Mo Fan and the Fire Seed: Burst cast by the City Demon Hunting Squad's Xu Dahuang were not much different.

According to this theory, Xu Fang's Level 2 Fire Seed, no matter how fancy he played it, would absolutely not be a match for Lu Wanqing's Level 3 Fire Seed.

But anything is afraid of the unexpected... Xu Fang's flames were no ordinary street-level fire!

"A Primary Mage, how could they absorb a Spirit Seed..." Lu Wanqing watched the flames engulf him, but there was no Demonic Energy in his Spiritual World to support defensive magic. He could only turn to ashes, along with his dying words, unwillingly.

This was the first time Xu Fang had killed someone.

Fortunately, Lu Wanqing's corpse had carbonized, so there was no unpleasant odor, and the appearance was far less abstract than the One-Eyed Demonic Wolf or the Giant-Eyed Stinky Rat.

Life is short, loot quickly.

The only valuable item on Lu Wanqing was a Demon Slaying Tool, likely bought to compensate for his lack of offensive capabilities, but it was already in a shattered state.

"Damn, a dignified Intermediate Mage doesn't even have a decent Magic Tool." Xu Fang was quite displeased: "And you're working two jobs for this? What are you risking your life for a few hundred a month!"

Despite his words, Xu Fang honestly pocketed the Demon Slaying Tool. Even if repairing it was expensive, it would still be better than him buying one for over a million!

Like an old man giving a back scrub, he flipped Lu Wanqing over. Because he didn't directly face the flames, the skin on this side was relatively well-preserved.

"What is this?"

Xu Fang frowned, looking at Lu Wanqing's lower back. A black, centipede-like mark was clinging there.

Take out your phone, search it on Baidu, and you'll know!

"Succubus Yin Mark? No way, this guy looks decent but has this kind of taste?" Xu Fang felt a chill.

If Lu Wanqing's spirit were aware, he would jump up and grab Xu Fang by the collar, yelling: "You're the succubus! Your whole family are succubi!"

This is called a Forgetting Worm! Exclusively produced by the Black Vatican, it can eat the host's memories and evade the Oath Tree's detection!

But obviously, Lu Wanqing didn't have the chance and could only suffer Xu Fang's malicious speculation in humiliation.

After looting the body, Xu Fang concentrated and felt intense elemental fluctuations in the air in the distance. Tu Chao and Liu Guifang, two Intermediate Mages, were fighting fiercely.

Xu Fang couldn't concern himself with that.

Fighting Lu Wanqing was because they happened to fall together. This guy had no offensive means, and beating a fallen dog was just a casual act.

Tu Chao is different; he's Intermediate level in two elements. Going there is just asking for death!

One-on-one, I hope that adjudicator can give some support...

After killing Lu Wanqing, Xu Fang didn't linger. Instead, he rushed towards the city without stopping, even hitching a ride with a cargo convoy halfway there.

After he casually threw out a Fire Seed, the truck drivers happily welcomed him aboard.

These poor souls who drive large trucks in the suburbs earn their money by risking their lives. Their only means of defending against demons is to stomp on the gas pedal; three or more and they're done for.

They never expected to have such good luck today, getting an escort from a Great Mage!

Yangcheng is an ordinary small city. Like Bocheng, an Intermediate Mage can be a local overlord here.

Xu Fang made inquiries all the way and arrived at the local Hunter's Alliance. In the hall, Hunter Mages were loudly shouting for teammates and suitable missions.

"Wind Element support! We need a reliable Wind Mage teammate!"

"Three-year-old team, requires a Water Mage with good mental fortitude, don't encounter demons and be unable to even connect a star track!"

"Flying Tiger Squad, sincerely recruiting a Fire Element main damage Mage, bounty split is negotiable!"

Listening to these voices, Xu Fang had a sense of déjà vu, as if he were back in Bocheng. Could it be that all Hunter's Alliances across the world have this style?

His goal was to make quick money. His bank card, damaged in the train explosion, wouldn't be replaced for a week, and its efficiency was far less than a tenth of their wealth management products.

The Hunter's Alliance was his best choice.

In the hall, Mages waiting to join teams lined up, holding their resumes. These listed their employment time, bounty success rate, and the level of demons they had killed!

Xu Fang also asked the front desk for one.

It's not like Bocheng here. Without high school teachers constantly lecturing and analyzing the distribution and weaknesses of local demons, Xu Fang absolutely needed to find a reliable team.

After filling it out, he looked around the hall and quickly found his target.

Flying Tiger Squad, it's you!
