Liberty Temple.
Lingling, hearing Mo Fan’s request, seed unsurprised. She opened the computer and said, "I knew you were short on money. When I ca, I carefully selected several bounties. You can complete them while you’re training."
"However, judging by your current cultivation, ordinary small-ti tasks probably won’t satisfy you. I’ve set my sights on a big deal. I’ll notify you when the ti cos—let’s see if you can handle it."
Hearing this, Mo Fan’s eyes lit up. He rubbed his hands together like a buzzing fly and boasted shalessly, "Don’t worry, Brother Mo Fan here is no longer the sa as before. I just cut down a Black Vatican Executor myself."
Lingling was speechless. Was that really all his credit? Clearly, it was the whole team’s effort.
She glanced at Lu Jun, then at Mo Fan, who looked like a clueless big oaf. She felt frustrated—here was soone who quietly sparred with Cold Prince several tis, caused the Red Cardinal a massive loss, and didn’t make a sound.
Oh well, she chose her hunter teammates; no matter how tiring, she had to support him.
Lu Jun pondered, realizing that Pei Li’s assassination attempt had put pressure on Mo Fan, though he hid it with a nonchalant deanor.
In fact, Mo Fan’s progress was already rapid. He suspected the fifth Elent was about to reach the advanced tier.
Suddenly, Lu Jun rembered sothing. Digging through the Incan knowledge inheritance, he found a thod perfect for Mo Fan called Chaos Imprint. Replicating any spell once is currently the fastest way to boost combat power—instant and effective.
If Mo Fan mastered it, his damage output would at least double.
Lu Jun planned to teach him, without any selfish intent.
First, it was unnecessary—Incan armies all had chaos mages, and Mo Fan could learn it for a small fee. Second, the Inca Empire wanted their inheritance to spread and be recognized as a unique continuation of civilization.
"If you want to improve your strength, start with Chaos," Lu Jun instructed. "Normally, I’ve never seen you use this Elent. By altering spatial order, you can change the trajectory of enemy spells, adding a layer of protection to your fragile defenses, covering weaknesses. The Chaos Vortex absorbs and rebounds damage..."
Hearing this, Mo Fan was bewildered, then increasingly enlightened. Swearing, he exclaid, "Damn, so this is how Chaos works?"
Finally, Lu Jun casually revealed the thod’s secret: "Oh, right. I also have a Chaos Imprint technique—it can replicate any spell once it’s been used. You’ll only be able to use it once your Chaos Elent reaches the advanced tier."
"Wow, Old Lu, that’s really sothing."
Mo Fan was ecstatic. He felt that once both his Spatial and Chaos Elents reached the advanced tier, with Teleportation and Chaos Imprint, he could easily dominate Ai Jiangtu.
Having dual innate Elents, the six-Elent magic system’s terrifying potential beca increasingly absurd in the later stages.
Imdiately after, Lu Jun drifted away gracefully. The stronger Mo Fan beca, the more absurdly powerful his demon form would be—an indispensable combat force in the disasters to co.
Of course, Lu Jun didn’t forget a parting reminder, aningfully saying before leaving: "Co find after your National Governnt training. Spend a few hundred million, and I’ll help you enhance your Shadow Elent to an unbeatable level."
After hearing about the capabilities, Mo Fan was tempted, but a glance at his wallet revealed it was embarrassingly empty.
Lu Jun had anticipated this—Mo Fan was broke, so he scheduled the advanced teaching after the National Governnt training. Teaching Chaos Imprint now was a form of "fertilizing"—if you want to harvest the leeks, you must let them grow well, and it also enhanced Lu Jun’s reputation.
Want to beco strong? Co to Lu Jun!
At that ti, producing four portions of Dark Matter would instantly recover costs. Through Mo Fan’s generosity, perhaps one could profit greatly—but Lu Jun never lost.
It wasn’t about trickery; in normal trade, money and goods exchanged honestly, like real brothers.
...
Back in his room, Lu Jun took advantage of a rare opportunity for focused cultivation.
Buzz, buzz, buzz! He sat cross-legged. Above him in the void floated a crystalline triangular prism, radiating shifting seven-colored light, hidden in a spatial crevice, faintly glowing, exuding mysterious power.
Summoning energies surged around him, as if opening a portal to another world’s summoning plane. Coupled with the White Tiger Pendant, the moon-white starry river extended endlessly.
Suddenly, in the deep of the starry river, the illusory imprints of the rmaid Saint Spirit and Night Thunder Dream Beast flickered.
Bang! A crisp sound—the starry river’s light mbrane shattered, its length and width expanding significantly, and the abundant moon-white magical energy overflowed.
The Summoning Elent reached Advanced Tier Level Two!
This was Lu Jun’s fourth Advanced Tier level Two Elent. The effect of the Beast Tide Gate, Level Two was straightforward. Compared to the Psychic Elent’s subtle Shadow Changes, this enhancent was simpler and more brutal.
It added 40 additional basic summoning units and allowed consuming 20 unit slots to summon one Beast Commander, with a maximum of two simultaneously.
With the addition of Lu Jun’s ntal cultivation, a single wave of his hand could sweep hundreds of high-bloodline summoning units across the battlefield.
The China National team rested in the United States for a few days and then departed as a full team to their next destination.
They took a plane directly to a Portuguese city along the Atlantic coast—Tinoaya!
This city was ho to nurous hunters who took on tasks related to the Atlantic and other missions. It also hosted an important branch of the International Hunter Alliance.
With Lu Jun and Mo Fan significantly more powerful, ordinary national challenges no longer interested them. They independently left the team, leaving Ai Jiangtu to lead as a caretaker.
Of course, their goals were different, so they did not travel together.
Mo Fan secretly pulled Mu Ningxue and Lingling into a team, mysterious about their objective.
Lu Jun, however, understood imdiately. They were likely targeting an unsolved international bounty in the Hunter Pool—The Drowning Curse by the Sea!
Every year, strange incidents occurred along coastlines worldwide. People would inexplicably beco thirsty, run madly toward the ocean, and ultimately drown in the deep sea.
Even forcibly restraining victims by their families was ineffective. The twisted madness was terrifying.
Because the cause was unknown, the world called it a curse. Nurous victims’ families issued missions to the Hunter Alliance, hoping for a solution, but all failed.
This was when the Bounty Pool beca relevant. Rare, unsolvable repeat bounties that no hunter could complete accumulated funds instead of returning prize money.
Like a lottery, if no one won in one cycle, the funds would roll over into the next.
Thus, each task in the Bounty Pool carried extrely generous rewards, yet each was extrely challenging, facing the attention of hunters worldwide.
If a hunter completed one, all fa, fortune, and recognition would be theirs.
Take the Drowning Curse by the Sea as an example. If Lu Jun rembered correctly, decades of accumulation had reached around 400 million in funds.
Originally, once Mo Fan completed it, his Hunter Certification would imdiately jump from Two-Star Hunter Master to Four-Star Hunter Master.
In a sense, the Bounty Pool also offered a glimr of hope for solving unsolved mysteries. With so many extraordinary individuals worldwide, one day soone would inevitably uncover the solution.
Although Lu Jun knew the root cause of the curse—a creature called Evil Maggot, whose eggs parasitized the human body, consuming nutrients, then hatching to control the host, forcing them into the sea, completing the return-to-sea process.
The Evil Maggot would rapidly pass through its larval stage, seeking a strong host to replace, evolving into a mature form.
But Lu Jun had no interest. The process was too tedious. Mo Fan and his team, to test their hypothesis, ended up caring for Evil Maggots in the ocean, nearly being turned over by pseudo-dragon Evil Maggots.
Lu Jun had better opportunities to earn resources. The most efficient way to make money did not require his intervention.
After all, the Hunter Alliance demanded proof; even knowing the curse’s cause, one had to record the entire process on video for verification.
