Chapter 70 - The growth of a grassroots mage

The Bone General charged forward with great courage, but the moment it was sent flying, it was extremely disheveled.

The moment the Bone General flew out, Mo Fan immediately followed up with a Nine Palaces!

Under the impact of the scorching Azure Flame, a thought also came to Mo Fan's mind:

'Let the Bone General turn into soup!'

Hmm, reasonable.

"Giant Shadow Nail!"

Mo Fan also admired himself a little; he was in battle, yet he could still think of other things. Ever since he had the Evil System, he couldn't deny that he was a bit too confident.

The black Shadow Nails were all directly nailed into the Bone General's limbs the moment Mo Fan scattered them.

"Ugh, aow~~~!!!"

Mo Fan's series of counterattacks almost made the Bone General unable to react, and then it was pinned down, unable to move.

"Thousand-Ton – Thunderbolt – Wild Dance!"

"Boom boom boom!!!"

"Rumble rumble!"

Under the thunderous bombardment, although the Bone General shattered, it was clearly still not dead.

"Damn, it's really durable,"

Mo Fan cursed and then added a Fierce Fist – Earth Fiend. Only when the flames erupted and a green lotus appeared did the Bone General completely lose its life.

After dealing with the Bone General, Mo Fan quickly helped the Flame Howl Wolf deal with the surrounding Ghouls and a large number of Skeletons.

It wasn't until the Flame Howl Wolf had no stamina left and its nebula was almost depleted that Mo Fan ran back to the safe zone.

Although he had exhausted his magic energy, he alone had eliminated thousands of undead, including Ghouls, Skeletons, and even a Bone General Level one.

Of course, inevitably, he also had many new scars on his body. But due to his special physique, these injuries automatically scabbed over and healed by the time he returned to the safety barrier.

Eliminating so many undead also brought a considerable sum of money. With the spirit seeds, Mo Fan directly sold them for nearly 13 million. As for the undead ranking, it wasn't very useful to him, so it wasn't worth paying too much attention to. Any profit was good.

Excluding the spirit seeds that dropped, his Fire Element Star became thirty-six this night. He was already very close to the fourth level of Fierce Fist.

Zhao Manyan sold the Pseudo-Terror Demon seeds for about 18 million, which brought them to nearly 30 million. This was already enough for a Star River Vein.

However, Mo Fan didn't understand the Star River Vein with abundant energy, so he directly entrusted this matter to Zhao Manyan.

And when Zhao Manyan learned that Mo Fan was already about to reach the High Level, he was utterly bewildered.

Staying in the Ancient Capital for a month, the days of hunting undead were actually few and far between, only five times in total. The rest of the time was spent recovering himself.

It's worth mentioning that during this period of combat, Mo Fan's four magic elements were almost perfected, and the Fire Element had reached a point where it could not be further upgraded.

Furthermore, the forty-nine stars of the Fire Element had been strengthened by Mo Fan to the fourth level, and the Thunder Element's primary level had also been strengthened to the fourth level.

The Flame Howl Wolf also gained promotion through battles; its strength is now close to reaching the War General Level. Although it cannot be said to have its own territory in the summoning plane, at least it is no longer exposed to the elements as before.

After returning to the Magic City, Mo Fan followed Lingling to handle some accumulated tasks at the Qingtian Hunter Agency.

The day before the challenge week, Mo Fan found Zhao Manyan.

"Damn it, we're all good brothers, how come you're already one step ahead towards the High Level??" Zhao Manyan said with a hint of sourness.

"While you were rolling around in women's bellies every day, I was still battling demons. How do you think I got a step ahead towards the High Level?" Mo Fan said, giving Zhao Manyan a roll of his eyes.

"Uh, that makes sense."

The most important way for a suitable mage to improve is not just cultivation. Repeated heart-pounding experiences in the wilderness can improve oneself, and facing life and death also has the possibility of expanding the nebula.

Compared to someone like himself who doesn't take risks, and Mo Fan who takes risks every day, there really is no comparison.

Moreover, Zhao Manyan understood one principle: truly powerful mages must rely on themselves.

Grassroots mages might not be able to obtain resources worth tens of millions, let alone hundreds of millions, at first. But once grassroots mages climb to this realm on their own, they can continuously acquire resources through their powerful strength. This self-reliant acquisition ability has a much greater growth potential than those scions who constantly demand from their aristocratic families.

Cultivation itself is not entirely built on resources. A poor foundation, no matter how much money is spent, is a waste. Mages who cultivate themselves understand better how to find the laws of advancement in the vast Star River and how to achieve breakthroughs in battle. Even if they are covered in scars, they will eventually undergo a metamorphosis at some point. By then, they will have completely surpassed their peers who rely on their families!

Zhao Manyan felt that Mo Fan was already showing this trend.

"Alright, stop the nonsense. This card has the final payment. I won't say anything overly sentimental. If you need anything from your dad, just ask." Mo Fan took the Star River Vein and then handed Zhao Manyan the card with the prepared money.

"Heh, we're all good brothers, why say so many useless things?" Zhao Manyan laughed.

After receiving the Star River Vein and handling the bounties from the Qingtian Hunter Agency, Mo Fan returned to his academy life. And his challenge letters were piled higher than the commission requests!

However, official challenges were only on the second and fourth weeks of each month, so he could still digest the resource rewards for now.

The reward for the hundredth place was a speed control magic artifact.

This magic artifact was somewhat special; it allowed mages to more easily connect stars to stars, and the connection between star-orbits would also become smoother and less prone to breaking. Practicing control with this special magic tool could achieve twice the result with half the effort. Most importantly, it could shorten the speed of the entire star-orbit sketching and drawing.

He would need to buy something like this in the future if he had money. After all, he had quite a few magic elements.

Practicing control individually each time would be too time-consuming.

The ranking determined the reward; the higher the ranking, the better the reward. At his current rank, he could only get some spirit seed fragments.

As for the spirit seed fragments, he chose to keep them.

Although Azure Flame also needed to grow by devouring special flames, it was unknown how long this growth would take. Considering Little Flame Belle's situation, Azure Flame could only be put aside for now.

Furthermore, Azure Flame was a Great spirit seed with nearly three times the power, which was absolutely sufficient for now. With Little Flame Belle, it was not impossible to even rival some Soul Seeds in power.

When he became stronger in the future, there would naturally be opportunities to strengthen it, so there was no need to rush for now.
