Chapter 7 Slaying the Void
Before the Little Loach upgrades the Harvest Holy Spring into a Nebula Magic Artifact, its training bonus for intermediate-level magic is limited. For intermediate-level necromancy, it only needs to train step by step.
In terms of undead combat power, among Mo Fan's thirty skeletons, three of them, including Gan Wencui, were junior generals, while the remaining twenty-seven were advanced servants. Moreover, their coordination was excellent, making it easy for them to easily defeat a mid-level mage squad.
Mo Fan's own combat strength is sufficient. Before breaking through to the intermediate level in the elemental system, his means of improvement are quite limited. At the initial level, he does not have the ability to absorb spirit seeds. At most, he can use essence to strengthen himself to level four, which is something he can do.
Mo Fan still has two servant-level spirit essences and two warrior-level spirit essences. Strengthening one element is no problem, but strengthening two elements depends on the quality of the two warrior-level spirit essences.
I need to start planning for spirit seeds. I have 50 million in hand, which is enough to buy two ordinary spirit seeds. However, there will be so many places where I need money in the future, so I will try to get spirit seeds for free whenever possible.
Wild soul seeds may be rare, but wild spirit seeds are relatively common. Even with Mo Fan's strength and the help of the undead squad, it would still be difficult for him to obtain a wild spirit seed on his own.
No one went alone; everyone sought help from a high-level mage. Fortunately, there was Man Sui, the white-haired little loli, who proved invaluable in crucial moments.
Of course, helping him endlessly is impossible; otherwise, Man Sui would be keeping him as a sugar daddy. He wouldn't agree to that, and Man Sui wouldn't. He's not at the point where he can have an equal dialogue with Man Sui yet; he still needs to work hard on his cultivation!
Several dimensional systems are currently not up to the task, so Mo Fan is considering majoring in another elemental system to use when disguising himself as other identities. However, this will be something to do after he has cultivated the lightning and fire elements to the initial stage of perfection.
It's not good for him to be too overpowered in cultivating both lightning and fire elements. Although he is now a member of the Judgment Council, his foundation within the council is too shallow. It would be better for him to appear as a mid-to-high level genius on the surface.
In reality, the necromancy faction is his strongest fighting force. It would be more appropriate to use the necromancy faction along with several other factions to create a disguised identity for external activities.
The target location for this second semester of the second year of high school was Xuefeng Mountain Station. One hundred students in the seed class were divided into five groups of twenty students each. They traveled to Xuefeng Mountain Station by bus, led by a mentor and two military mages.
The bus started up, and the engine, powered by the principles of both thunder and fire magic, wasn't very loud. Soon, the concrete and steel buildings outside the window transformed into lush green forests, and occasionally the sound of birds' hooves could be heard. The scenery was quite beautiful.
The questions from several ignorant students inside the bus left the two instructors speechless. Mo Fan simply gazed out the window, occasionally taking control of the stars of other magic systems. Although not every system had time to cultivate, having control of the stars meant having an extra skill at crucial moments was always a good thing.
He's now a mid-level mage, so mastering a basic level spell isn't too difficult; he just needs to practice more.
The Xuefeng Mountain Inn is located in a valley, a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As the instructors introduced the Xuefeng Mountain Inn to the students, five groups of students arrived one after another, and a hundred students stood under the wide stone gate.
Beside the stone gate, a military mage was playing with the flames in his hands, demonstrating his superb fire magic to these novice students, and teasing the young girls in the process.
The teacher in charge was also helpless. Once inside the Xuefeng Mountain Inn, there was only one main road. On both sides of the road were hunters selling demon materials and magical tools. Students like Mo Fan and his group were the easiest to fool.
The meeting point was in the central square inside the post station. One hundred people stood in neat rows, and the hunters and mages around them looked at them like college students looking at elementary school students.
Objectively speaking, their hundred people were indeed insufficient. A single one-eyed demon wolf was enough to wipe them out. Their basic level one destruction magic had very limited effectiveness against slave-level demons.
This time, the big boss, the Shadow Wolf Beast, is actually a bit overpowered, but what can you expect when the Black Church is so omnipresent?
The man who played with flames walked up to the group. "I am Zhan Kong, your chief instructor for this training. I hope you will perform well and not become the worst batch of trainees in my eyes."
"Since you are the first batch of trainees I've been training, I've prepared a suitable bounty for you. I will personally reward each group or individual who completes the task with a defensive magical item."
Zhan Kong's words excited all one hundred students, but the good times didn't last long. After just ten days of traveling in the wild, these students, who were used to comfort, began to complain.
This was Mo Fan's first time going out, and this short distance was easy for him. A good body needs to be trained, and he was no ordinary, delicate student.
"I don't understand, how come we haven't reached the 30 kilometers yet? We've been walking for a full ten days!" Zhang Shuhua complained.
"That's the straight-line distance. It's definitely farther in reality. Stop complaining. It's not far ahead," Zhou Min said.
"This valley must be at least ten meters wide. How are we going to get across?" Wang Sanpang asked excitedly.
"This valley is really deep. If you fall in, you'll probably be turned into mincemeat!" Mo Fan said, enjoying the spectacle.
"Mo Fan, don't make things worse!" Zhou Min glanced at Mo Fan.
"Just telling the truth," Mo Fan said, spreading his hands. "But wind-elemental mages should be able to jump over this valley."
"Zhang Yinglu, aren't you a wind element? Just jump over here with a rope tied to you, and you'll get an A, right?" Xu Zhaoting said.
"I don't want to, I'm afraid of dying!" Zhang Yinglu was very timid.
In the end, Zhang Xiaohou stepped forward, and the group of 20 people successfully crossed the valley and entered Baicao Valley. Several teachers and instructors followed quietly behind, and they all smiled when they learned about the final reward.
Tang Yue, who knew Mo Fan's strength, didn't say anything. Mo Fan didn't tell her directly, but she could sense that Mo Fan's two elements should both be at least at the initial level two, and he also had a magic tool.
The entrance to Baicao Valley was covered with dense vines. The ignorant Wang Sanpang was the first to be attacked by the vines. To Mo Fan, these vines looked very much like tentacle monsters, which were extremely disgusting.
Xu Zhaoting's lightning magic had little effect on the vines. Under Zhou Min's fire magic, the vines were all driven away and entered Hundred Herbs Valley. Mu Bai's group had already arrived ahead of time.
"What, are you afraid to go in because you're scared of dying? I'll go scout ahead for you!" Mo Fan rushed into the cave with a reckless attitude.
"Arrogant and ignorant brat!" Mu Bai Cui exclaimed.
Mo Fan moved quickly. Just as the people behind him were about to go in together, the terrifying howl of the Ghost Wolf Beast echoed into the cave, and more than half of the students were almost scared to death.
Judging from the screams, it was no easy demon to deal with. Who would dare to go in? Only Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Zhou Min, and Zhang Xiaohou mustered their courage and went inside.
Although Mu Bai disliked Mo Fan, he was not a coward. The four of them walked inside, trembling.
