Six months went by quickly, after awakening two more elements Mo Fan quickly reached the second level in mental strength and saw his cultivation speed improve even further with Little Loach pendant.
He controlled Fiery Fist adeptly within five seconds, his Shadow and Summoning Stars dusts reached Primary level two and he contracted his trustee wolf. Although it was of a low bloodline old Wolfs tenacity was undeniable exceeding it's level twice and reaching Commander level under his care previously, since it was only a summoned beast the consumption of the basic spell when he reached Star Nebula or Constellation wouldn't be too high so decisively didn't waste time and more importantly money in finding something better and chose his old buddy.
The wolf still tried to go on a fighting spree and frequently get injured but Mo Fan was experienced and used the energy off the Summoning element to force the wold to listen to his commands better, plus with his intermediate spells the wolf relented soon.
Not keeping your beasts in line was a fatal flaw for summoners he wondered how Pang Lai's disciple managed to a servant for his contracted beast Night Rakshasa.
Moving on from lampooning Mo Fan quickly entered the " Spaced Inn" in front of him and met with the lovely Tang Yue who was in a classy attire.
As he expected Tang Yue had sought his help in catching Chao He a pharmacist rumoured to have some connection with Deacon Hu Jin. This time Mo Fan asked for a cash sum since he already awakened and was given 7.5 million or almost 50% of his bounty, he also managed to get the Rose Flame spirit seeds which was quite impressive with a 2.5 amplification to all fire spells, finally elevating his level a bit further.
For the next three months Mo Fan spent all his time back in Bo City, the weekdays he cultivated diligently and brought his Shadow and Summoning to Primary peak and later focused most of his time to Fire and Shadow alone.
The intermediate Shadow spell would add a control element to his prowess and Intermediate tier two spell would be his ace with the Rose Flames. In the weekends he took missions from the Hunter Union and hunted beasts in the vicinity of Bo City solo bringing his cast time for primary spells below one second in a month.
After three months he left Bo City once again this time as an Advanced Hunter and lacking only a few dozen points from being an Elite Hunter. As for the Soul Essences Little Loach pendant conjured from the Soul Remnants he collected he left it alone for the upcoming rainy day.
Back in Shanghai he joined the Summoning department of Pearl academy without the special assessment since he was already more than qualified.
Next step was to join Clear Sky Hunting agency ahead of time and complete missions for money, naturally the arrogant loli Lingling opposed hiring a weakling like him and had to be persuaded by her adoptive grandfather Bao.
Because it was summer holidays and she was bored out of her mind the chibi Master Hunter finally relented to take the noob Mo Fan on missions.
Three months went by again as he broke through intermediate level in all elements and hit a brief period of stagnation and waited for the new academic year to begin and use the Three step Pagoda for further breakthroughs. His cultivation focus was equally divided between three elements of Fire, Lightning and Shadow since the intermediate spell of summoning was contract and birth of the Little Flame Belle was more than a year away it was slightly pointless to him.
Even more unfortunately if he signed a contract with another creature then the second contract wouldn't be available unless he became a High Tier Summoner so he had to set aside this spell anyways.
As a being capable of being becoming a Ruler according to Lingling and his daughter Mo Fan was unwilling to change contracts.
At the start of the term Mo Fan enrolled successfully and stayed in his dorms per University policy but learned about an unreasonable one in his perspective. Pearl academy forbade student gambling and betting pools and therefore he couldn't form one himself and make a quick buck, with the Beast Battle Tournament upcoming and confident in his victory this was easy money.
So he could only make a personal bet with Zhao Manyan for three million although if found out this was grounds for expulsion a pampered guy like couldn't stand much goading and agreed to the bet.
Of course Mo Fan initially aimed for a higher amount only to be flatly declined as a scion of the international Zhao family he wasn't financially inept.
