Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 13 ‘Senior’ Lu Ran, I want all the spirit points!
Throughout the summer vacation, Lu Ran went back and forth between cultivation and monster hunting.

It is worth mentioning that it happened just a few days after the training assessment ended.

Mo Fan changed his name to "Fan Mo" and applied for a position with the City Monster Hunting Team as a Thunder Mage.

Thunder mages are a scarce talent in Bo City.

Xu Dahuang naturally had no reason to refuse.

Genius? The more the merrier!

Even though their monster hunting team is already well-equipped, it is not a problem to hire one more thunder mage.

Then, during the monster hunting operation the next day.

Lu Ran and Mo Fan stared at each other.

Lu Ran was not surprised. After all, he already knew that Mo Fan would join the City Monster Hunting Team.

Xu Dahuang even went out of his way to introduce Mo Fan to him: "Fan Mo, this water mage is called Lu Ran. Don't underestimate him because he's as young as you, but his water skills are so advanced that he could be considered your senior!"

"He claims to have made a breakthrough recently!"

Mo Fan stood there, dumbfounded.

His classmate Lu Ran can already be his senior?

Is this still in Bo?
We were clearly speaking Mandarin, but why couldn't he understand when we put them together?
It turns out that Lu Ran has already been hunting monsters with the City Monster Hunting Team?!
No wonder he is so skilled in casting magic.

But he dared to face the demon so early? Wasn't he afraid of death?!
Lu Ran looked at Mo Fan and said with a smile, "Fan Mo, right? You seem to have quite a talent. Call me 'Senior' and I can teach you how to hunt monsters."

Mo Fan's mouth twitched as Xu Dahuang's large hand clapped on his shoulder.

"Fan Mo, it's rare that Lu Ran thinks highly of you. Calling you "senior" is a good thing. This Lu Ran has a natural talent for water!"

"You know what, it's a natural talent, even rarer than your lightning magic."

Mo Fan, feeling somewhat dazed by the photo, said inexplicably:

"senior."

Lu Ran smiled and pulled Mo Fan aside: "Come on, let me teach you the first lesson of monster hunting. This is a monster hunting fan, okay..."

With the spiritual-level Stardust magic weapon to assist in his cultivation, Lu Ran's efficiency in meditation became much faster.

More importantly, the Styx can benefit Lu Ran by devouring demons!

This kind of repayment directly increases cultivation and mental strength!
Although the feedback from devouring a slave-level demon can be said to be negligible.

But a little bit of energy, accumulated, cannot be ignored!

He is now at the third level of the beginner stage, and it is not difficult for him to break through the bottleneck of the intermediate level.

Lu Ran estimated that perhaps by the time he reached a certain level of cultivation, he would be able to make a breakthrough naturally.

Of course, the easiest way is to practice for a while.

Just find a team of hunting wizards, go outside the Anjie, hunt hundreds of monsters, and even face the general-level monsters.

If it were someone else, they wouldn’t even dare to think about hunting down a general-level demon.

But Lu Ran dared to think about it, and he really dared to kill!

When the bloody alert was sounded, a large number of demonic wolves poured into Bo City.

That will be Lu Ran’s massacre feast!

By then, let alone breaking through the intermediate level, even breaking through a few small levels in the intermediate level would be easy!
All of this was naturally the confidence given to him by the Styx.

Now, the Styx is about to break through the 100-meter mark!

Even a general-level demon can't defeat him in one move!
It truly grew from a small stream into a small lake!
……

At the beginning of the senior year of high school, Zhou Min found Lu Ran privately.

"Um. Lu Ran, are you free recently?" Zhou Min lowered his head, his face a little pale.

Seeing Zhou Min's expression, Lu Ran knew that this was not the expression a young girl in love should have.

So Lu Ran asked in a gentle tone:
"What's the matter? Tell me." Zhou Min nodded, looked around the classroom, and after finding that everyone had left, he whispered:
"Well, near the old town where my grandma lives, there are often strange noises at night. I'm very worried about her, so I'd like you to accompany me to the construction site tonight to check it out."

Zhou Min's words made Lu Ran remember a lot of things at once.

There are strange noises at the construction site, suspected to be the work of demons?
Isn’t that the one-eyed demon wolf that broke through to the advanced stage?

Lu Ran's eyes lit up. It seemed that the one-eyed demon wolf could explode its spirit?
Lu Ran must get this wool!
Immediately, Lu Ran agreed to Zhou Min's request and decided to take action that night.

As for why Zhou Min came to find him instead of Mo Fan.

That was naturally because Lu Ran surpassed Mo Fan in every aspect, whether it was his looks or his grades!
Night falls.

The old banyan tree neighborhood, an abandoned demolition site.

With a clear target in mind, Lu Ran directly sprinkled the monster-hunting powder and began to look for the one-eyed demon wolf.

Zhou Min, who was standing next to him, was stunned. She had excellent grades and recognized the origin of the powder in Lu Ran's hand at a glance. She said in surprise:

"Lu Ran, how come you have something like Monster Hunting Powder? That's not..."

"Mage Hunter?"

Lu Ran smiled and said nothing.

There is nothing to hide. What you need to know will be known sooner or later.

He doesn't have countless enemies like Mo Fan.

When Lu Ran encounters an enemy, he will directly crush him to death without leaving any trouble.

Zhou Min swallowed and was very excited watching Lu Ran's smooth operation!
Today, I found the right person!
Lu Ran, he must be a senior hunting mage!
With the help of the monster-hunting powder, the outline of the one-eyed demon wolf's footprints soon appeared in sight.

"There really is a monster! What should we do? Should we notify the city monster hunting team?" Zhou Min said in panic.

Lu Ran pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, you go and notify them, but I'm staying."

"Ah? Why?" Zhou Min was puzzled.

"Because I am a member of the city's monster hunting team. If monsters appear in the city, isn't it normal for me to go and solve the problem?" Lu Ran said with a smile.

Zhou Min was stunned and couldn't believe it.

"Then you must be careful, I will go inform your teammates"

Zhou Min took small steps, walking a little shakily, and Lu Ran watched her leave.

Zhou Min went to notify the other members of the City Monster Hunting Team to come, no problem.

Lu Ran is not the kind of goody-goody who does good things without leaving his name.

In addition to the spirit essence, he also wants all the merits and hunter points for hunting the advanced one-eyed wolf!
Following the footprints left by the monster-hunting fans, it didn't take Lu Ran long to find the one-eyed demon wolf in an unfinished building.

This one-eyed demon wolf was still quite strong because it had secretly drunk the holy spring water. When it stood up, its head could already touch the ceiling of the second floor of the construction site.

Its combat power should be much stronger than that of an ordinary one-eyed wolf, and it is about to reach the advanced stage.

Advanced demons usually require an entire team of hunters to deal with.

But obviously, the general situation would not happen to Lu Ran.

As Lu Ran appeared in the unfinished building, he was instantly locked onto by the one-eyed wolf head, and a faint green light swept over him.

Upon seeing humans, the one-eyed wolf swooped down and killed them without thinking!

Lu Ran was well prepared, and four streams of black silk appeared around him.

"Water Guardian—Loop!"

The black water flow enveloped Lu Ran in all directions. The sharp claws of the one-eyed demon wolf fell, and as soon as they touched the water shield, it let out a painful wail.

"Ow!!"

I saw that a large piece of the one-eyed wolf's claw was missing.

The flesh and blood of the claws' forelimbs, along with the bones, were all swallowed by the Styx!
