Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant

Since this matter passed, in the blink of an eye, half a year had gone by, and the first semester of the second year of high school had ended.

The top students in the second-year advanced class didn't have a winter break. Instead, they had to go for outdoor training, which would be counted toward their final score for the college entrance exams.

Early in the morning, a group of students were excitedly discussing, while among the crowd, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiao Hou looked around and frowned, saying, "On such an important day, where did this guy, Lu Jun, go?"

"Did he forget about the training and still think it's winter break?"

"No way." Mo Fan, seeing that their homeroom teacher, Old Xue, was about to call the roll, immediately decided, "I'll call Lu Jun and have him come over quickly."

However, before Mo Fan could make the call, Teacher Xue spoke up from above, "This outdoor operation will be led by the military, with the practical instructor, Tang Yue, and the Hunter Alliance's Pan Lijun accompanying. Also, Lu Jun has been exempted from the assessment by the military due to special reasons."

With that, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiao Hou, and even the unlucky Mu Bai were stunned.

Mo Fan muttered, "When did Lu Jun hook up with the military? He's really mysterious."

The other students were also murmuring, but they weren't envious. They hadn't experienced Hunter missions and thought it was just a field trip, or perhaps a wilderness survival test, and they felt it was a shame not to go.

In reality, they weren't entirely wrong. Before Zhan Kong was demoted to Bo City, the second-year outdoor training was mostly just a formality. After all, who could bear the responsibility if a child died?

Even Zhan Kong's tests used summoned beasts disguised as demons, making the tests safe and within controllable limits.

Summoned beasts, as one of the dimensional magic types, are an initial stage magic of the "Summoning System" that can summon a servant-level demon at the early stage. They are practically invincible at the same level.

Of course, those with natural talents, like Lu Jun, were another matter. With his gold system combat power, combined with wind and water magic, he could handle all aspects of combat.

Not long after, the school buses set off, carrying students toward the Snow Peak Mountain outpost.

Soon after getting off the bus, Zhan Kong made a grand entrance and gave the students a harsh warning. He said to throw away all their belongings and required them to survive in the wilderness for ten days, while also completing a bounty task.

Otherwise, the entire class would fail.

This caused an uproar among the top students, and even the practical teachers opposed it: "No way, even regular Hunter can't complete the bounty, let alone a bunch of students."

However, this was futile. Zhan Kong, the chief instructor, forced through the objections and tempted, "The first person to complete the bounty will receive a personal gift from me—an Basic-level magic tool!"

This statement ignited the crowd, and the students were energized.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for them to regret it.

Zhan Kong revealed the entire plan to the practical teachers, and the teachers began working together to test the students.

Mo Fan's group struggled in the wilderness for ten days before finally reaching their task location, an abandoned den of the one-eyed demon wolves in a valley, where there were no more demons.

Instead, what existed was a summoned beast,disguised as a ghost wolf demon.

It was just a servant-level demon. As soon as it appeared, its ferocity caused dozens of students to scatter in panic.

Xu Zhaoting, Mu Bai, Zhang Xiao Hou, Mo Fan, He Yu, and other excellent students tried to control their stars and release initial-stage magic to resist, but the overwhelming power of the beast made it hard to turn the tide.

When the ghost wolf demon howled, all the students who were still linking their star tracks lost their connections and had to flee in a panic.

Only Mo Fan and Mu Bai successfully cast their magic, but their Basic-level spells were ineffective against the ghost wolf demon.

Desperate, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiao Hou attacked, using wind magic to divert the ghost wolf demon's attention.

At that moment, Bai Yang ghost wolf demon lost control, and seeing that someone might die, Zhan Kong's expression changed. He quickly used high-level wind magic, Wind Wings, to rescue Mo Fan.

But Mo Fan was no ordinary person. At a critical moment, he broke through to the second level of fire magic and, through clever use of magic, paralyzed the demon with lightning magic in one hand and shattered the stalactites in the cave with fire magic in the other. The stalactites fell and impaled the ghost wolf demon, pinning it in the cave, barely securing the victory.

In a sense, Lu Jun's first Demon slaying experience had been much better than Mo Fan's. The Metal system could summon magic in advance, without needing to be distracted in battle, allowing him to gradually adapt and grow to this point.

Mo Fan, on the other hand, was purely born with a big heart, and in the end, the brave one received his reward: a magic shield worth tens of thousands.

In addition, Bai yang was injured because of the death of his summoned beast, causing a backlash in the contract, and he held a grudge against Mo Fan.

If Lu Jun had been present, he would probably have cursed him for being deserving of it, as Bai yang was a member of the Black Church, planted inside the military's magic division. The Bo City destruction plan was already in motion, and many "Frenzied Springs" were set up in the demon lairs outside the city.

The Frenzied Spring was a drug mixed with Earth Saint Spring, which consumed life potential to massively stimulate the bloodthirst of demons, causing them to go berserk and level up.

It seemed that Bai yang, fearing discovery, deliberately pretended to lose control and let the summoned beast kill, but he didn't expect to encounter someone like Mo Fan.

Fortunately, Zhan Kong didn't discover anything later, as it was all too secretive.

...

While Mo Fan was undergoing wilderness training, Lu Jun, taking advantage of the winter break, teamed up with his sister to hunt down a wolf pack.

Intermediate-level earth magic—Rock Barrier: Stones Ridges

Lu Mei's body glowed with apricot-yellow magic power as she drew a jagged stone pattern on the ground. Forty-nine stars arranged in a star map were summoned, and she raised her hand with a loud shout.

In an instant, layers of earth waves surged forward, and stone walls rose up around the charging pack of wolves, trapping them completely. Only a small window at the top was left open.

Puchi!

Lu Jun, wearing blue boots that glowed with light, stomped on the ground, shooting up into the sky for more than ten meters. As he descended, he swung a four-meter-long heavy sword, activating golden light that pierced through all the trapped wolves, causing blood to spill out and soak the earth.

The battle ended easily, with wolves scattered all over the place, the traces of wind, gold, and earth magic everywhere.

This area was relatively flat and wasn't as advantageous for Demon Hunter as the valley. However, Lu Jun and his sister still finished the task effortlessly.

Their strength had increased greatly in the past six months.

First, Lu Mei broke through to intermediate-level earth magic two months ago. Having had prior experience, her mental power was also strong, and with the help of the top-level Nebula Magic Tool, her battle frequency allowed her to advance quickly.

She now had two intermediate-level systems. Although her earth magic wasn't as refined, her speed in drawing wind star maps was incredibly fast, and she was on the verge of breaking through to the intermediate second level with "Wind Disc: Sky Net."

As for Lu Jun, both of his systems had reached level three, with the gold system at its peak. After four months of training, he was almost ready to break through to the intermediate level. He estimated it would happen in just a few days.

In addition, the ten million they earned last summer wasn't kept; they went to the Magic Association and bought two intermediate-level magic tools, fully gearing up for battle.
