Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Ding Yumian's eyes widened as her forehead radiated light. Her jet-black hair fluttered, and her figure gently floated three feet above the ground. Her dress swayed ethereally as an endless wave of spiritual energy surged outward, distorting the surrounding air. The scorching white mist was forced back, revealing a vacuum-like zone.
The one who bore the brunt was Lu Jun. He felt an imnse pressure that instantly darkened his vision. Even with the combined forces of his Curse Nebula and Spiritual Stardust, his condensed ntal wall shattered effortlessly.
Crack! Crack!
Lu Jun's straight posture began to bend under the overwhelming pressure, as if he was on the verge of kneeling. His head buzzed incessantly, and even the floor beneath him started to crack.
For the first ti, he truly felt the terror of a Calamity Bearer. Although they were the sa age, Ding Yumian's cultivation level was leaps ahead of his. In retrospect, Mo Fan's future challenge against her would undoubtedly have been t with rcy—her Spiritual Elent hadn't even been fully utilized in that match.
Gradually, Lu Jun's consciousness beca hazy. His flushed face reflected his struggle, as if he were being drawn into the vortex of her emotional resonance.
Just as he was about to be assimilated by Ding Yumian's overwhelming spirit...
"Get out!"
Suddenly, a deep-seated defiance erupted within him. In his ntal realm, his tal Elent Nebula and Water Elent Nebula both began exerting themselves. Under the crushing pressure, it seed as if his essence, energy, and spirit were being tempered, growing sharper.
From Bo City to the present—slaying demons, hunting the Black Vatican, and battling 500 foes—hadn't he always proved himself against his peers?
Lu Jun's determination was unyielding, as firm as steel. The indomitable aura that had swept through the new student competition earlier reerged. As his will stabilized, the crystal-clear sword in the center of his Spiritual Elent, polished under the external onslaught, shot into the sky, slashing at the intangible crystal barrier. The already fragile screen shattered.
Pop!
A crisp sound echoed in his mind.
In the next mont, within Lu Jun's spiritual realm, a translucent Stardust broke through its barriers and rapidly expanded. In the blink of an eye, it transford into a vast Nebula with 49 radiant stars.
Spiritual Elent – Interdiate Stage! ntal Realm – Second Stage!
In the dark expanse of his spiritual universe, four distinct Nebulae—platinum, azure, erald, and translucent—shone brightly. Their vivid colors intertwined, making the realm appear teeming with life, as if nurturing countless living beings.
Yes, with the breakthrough in his Spiritual Elent and the resulting feedback, Lu Jun's ntal power surged, shattering his long-standing bottleneck in the first stage and reaching the second stage. His consciousness beca significantly clearer.
The enhancent was akin to obtaining the effect of a double Spirit Seed. Combined with the Curse Elent's innate Curse Imprint, his strength beca even more terrifying. The Spiritual Elent also benefitted, giving rise to his self-created magic, Spiritual Sword, which might even inflict severe ntal damage on Advanced Mages.
Of course, despite his excitent over this breakthrough in his four-elent Interdiate cultivation, his priority was still to wake Ding Yumian.
The spiritual waves emanating from her were growing stronger by the second. Although Lu Jun's breakthrough allowed him to resist for now, it was only a matter of ti before he succumbed again.
Clenching his teeth, he pushed through the transparent, distorted waves surrounding him. With great difficulty, he approached Ding Yumian, who was suspended mid-air. Gazing at the straight-haired, dignified woman in front of him, he reached out with an effortful hand and lightly tapped her shoulder. Even through the fabric of her clothing, her silky smooth skin seed tangible.
At the sa ti, Lu Jun transmitted his thoughts directly into her spiritual realm:
"Control your emotions!"
These words jolted Ding Yumian awake. Instantly, the surging spiritual energy withdrew, and her floating body fell, staggering forward and leaning onto Lu Jun's solid shoulder.
Monts later, the almost-embracing duo separated. Ding Yumian, as if startled, took a few steps back but did not lose control again. Her flushed face betrayed her embarrassnt as she softly apologized:
"I'm sorry, I almost hurt you. I didn't an it."
Lu Jun felt the imnse ntal pressure recede like a tide. Relieved, he exhaled deeply and looked at her aningfully before remarking:
"Your Spiritual Elent is terrifying."
Hearing this, Ding Yumian grew nervous. Her secret had been exposed. Dean Xiao had specifically instructed her never to reveal this, as the consequences could be dire.
To her surprise, Lu Jun seed to anticipate her worries. With a faint smile, he said:
"Relax. I won't snitch on you. Besides, you now know my secret too."
"We both hold leverage over each other."
He wasn't joking. If she lost control again, even Lu Jun would be in trouble. So he sought to reassure her. Though he was tempted to joke, "Ding Yumian, you wouldn't want the Holy Council to know you're a Spiritual Calamity Bearer, would you?", he refrained.
Hearing this, Ding Yumian rembered how Lu Jun had resisted her Spiritual Elent magic earlier. Including the Curse Elent and Water Elent he already possessed, he had a total of three elents. This was clearly abnormal.
Her unease faded slightly, but her cheeks remained flushed. Today's series of unexpected events had overwheld her—her body was exposed, her secret was uncovered, and they had even embraced. She felt mortified.
In just a short period, she had established an unexpectedly close connection with a stranger. For soone with her serene and reserved nature, this was overwhelming. Exhausted, she took a deep breath and said:
"This was my fault. I concede. We'll talk later."
"Alright," Lu Jun nodded, agreeing. However, his mind was racing. Reflecting on the intense ntal pressure earlier, he realized he had always struggled with finding ways to temper his ntal strength.
Many mages of the Spiritual, Curse, and Dinsional Elents relied on prolonged combat to naturally improve their cultivation. Treasures that could accelerate this process were exceedingly rare.
Now, he realized—a Spiritual Calamity Bearer was the perfect sharpening stone!
At this point, the white mist around them began to dissipate. Their clash had only lasted a short while.
Outside the arena, the thick mist had obscured the battle, leaving the spectators to speculate wildly.
"Who would've thought? Apart from his powerful Curse Elent, Lu Jun also hid another elent. Was that a Spirit Seed? His Water Elent is three tis stronger than a regular mage's!"
"A freshman with two elents at the first level of the Interdiate stage, both highly refined, plus a super magic tool. Tsk, who among his peers could rival him?"
"A Spirit Seed, huh? Even many seniors in the main campus don't have one."
"Am I the only one shipping this pair?"
"Sa! He's confident and straightforward, and she's gentle and understanding. They're a perfect match—golden boy and jade maiden!"
"Classic red-blue CP vibes. They're opposites attracting—water and fire. Imagine the fanfiction potential. A hundred thousand words easily!"
"Ugh, fangirls, leave! Don't ruin this serious mage duel."
When the mist cleared, the spectators saw Lu Jun with his sword resting on Ding Yumian's neck. The female mage conceded.
The students sighed but weren't surprised. They grew excited instead:
"Not bad. He finally revealed his Water Elent. Dongfang Ming and Ding Yumian clearly wore him down. Let's keep the montum going!"
Watching Ding Yumian's graceful retreating figure, Lu Jun turned inward, examining his spiritual realm. With four Nebulae now in his arsenal, his Spiritual Elent's advancent to the Interdiate stage allowed him to unleash Spiritual Impact a hundred tis—enough to disrupt a mage's star paths repeatedly.
This breakthrough significantly bolstered his ability to duel the entire freshman cohort.
Standing tall, Lu Jun surveyed the audience and said indifferently:
"Next."
