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

Chapter 162 The unfinished armored magical artifact, high-level awakening!

The appearance of Night Rakshasa greatly surprised Nan Jue, Zhao Manyan, Lingling and the others!
Her appearance, temperament, and the subtle aura of shadow all exude nobility!

Mo Fan, however, was unaware of the Night Rakshasa's origins, so he frowned and asked:

"Is this kitten very strong?"

Upon hearing this, Night Rakshasa stared intently at Mo Fan with dangerous eyes, her claws bared and teeth bared.

Zhao Manyan, who knew some details about the Night Rakshasa, explained things to Mo Fan with a sigh:

"The Night Rakshasa is a rare and precious creature that inhabits the Dark Wrath Forest. It is comparable to the Flame Princess in terms of both bloodline level and combat power, and can be considered a kind of shadow-attribute holy spirit!"

Those who were unaware of the situation looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Is this jet-black kitten as rare as Flame Princess?
hiss!
Mo Fan was also stunned. His first choice in coming to Zhuoyuan to find a contracted beast was Yan Ji, but he did not expect that Jiang Yu would have a contracted beast as rare as Yan Ji!
"Don't let its cute appearance fool you, it has a bad temper and can be quite ferocious in battle, so be careful," Jiang Yu said with a smile.

Lu Ran smiled, glanced at Mo Fan, and added:
"This Night Rakshasa is currently in its infancy, and like Little Flame Princess, it can overpower most of the War General demons."

Mo Fan: "."

In his childhood, he overpowered his generals?!

Mo Fan felt numb.

He had just wanted to summon the Swift Star Wolf, but now he felt it was beneath him.

Old Wolf, give it your all!
But there's no way around it; without summoning the Swift Star Wolf, his summoning skills are practically useless.

Then, the Swift Star Wolf was chased and slashed by the Night Rakshasa. The cat claws with shadow attributes were extremely sharp, and the Swift Star Wolf's skin could not withstand them at all.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu's other element is light, and the dazzling light is of no use to Mo Fan; using it would only harm the Night Rakshasa.

The final outcome was that Mo Fan used lightning on the left and fire on the right, maximizing his attack power against Jiang Yu.

Night Rakshasa also realized what was happening and, instead of wasting time with the Swift Star Wolf, began to attack Mo Fan.

At this moment, Mo Fan's shadow magic proved to be incredibly effective!
Having cultivated the Shadow element, Mo Fan gained a deeper understanding of shadow abilities and successfully dodged Night Rakshasa's attacks.

Even so, Night Rakshasa still managed to slash several bloody marks on his arm with her sharp claws.

Jiang Yu realized what was happening and tried to use light-based attacks, but it was too late.

In the end, Mo Fan won the sparring match thanks to his overpowered advantage in four elements.

This directly earned the approval of the leader-level creature, the Fire Cloud Deer.

Except for Lu Ran, who had already anticipated this, everyone else wore expressions of utter disillusionment and despair.

They now understood that Mo Fan had been hiding his true strength!

He also has four elements, just like Lu Ran, and each time he awakens, he has two elements!
"Everyone, please keep this a secret!" Mo Fan laughed loudly.

After everyone responded in unison, Lu Ran rolled her eyes and urged:
"Hurry up and sign the contract, we're in a hurry to get back to Dunhuang."

"Yes, right away."

Mo Fan quickly formed a contract with the Fire Cloud Deer, but due to his average summoning cultivation and mental strength, the Fire Cloud Deer's level and combat power were suppressed to the advanced warrior level.

Afterwards, Lu Ran placed Xiao Yan Ji in the hot spring to soak, while Jiang Feng stayed behind to take care of her.

After thinking it over for a long time, Zhao Chenying decided to stay and keep her mother company.

Thanks to the mind-control artifact given to them by Lu Ran, the two were already able to communicate in spoken language.

Back at Dunhuang Airport.

As they parted, Lu Ran found Mu Ningxue and told her to pay attention to information in the coming days, as he was going to take her to a place for training.

Mu Ningxue readily agreed. Shanghai.

Pearl Master Tower.

A few days after returning to Shanghai, Lu Ran received a call from the blacksmith Huo Tuo.

He said that the magical tools and artifacts he had ordered had been completed and that he should come and pick them up.

Lu Ran looked at the magical tools and artifacts on the table and remained silent in thought.

"What is this?"

Huo Tuo was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "Well, as I told you beforehand, the magical tools I forged might turn out to be neither fish nor fowl. Although the forging materials you provided were all top-quality, some of their properties would explode upon contact. I didn't know that beforehand."

"However, it's not exactly a failure; it's more like a half-finished product!"

"If you can get your hands on materials at the same level as snake scales, you might have a chance to be reforged and take it a step further!"

Huo Tuo pointed to the Black Serpent Scale Armor and said.

Lu Ran sighed and put the half-finished armor tool aside, deciding to keep it for himself for the time being.

A material of the same level as snake scales?
That's at the level of a supreme monarch, it's not that simple.
Even the loot dropped by the Silver Dome Lord isn't enough.
The remaining few are most notable magical artifacts marked by their sharp, angular silver fangs.

These two items were forged using the teeth of a commander-level vampire as their core, supplemented with various precious materials. One is offensive and the other defensive, possessing the combat power of a commander-level creature.

Lu Ran thought about it and decided that a defensive style was more suitable for Mu Ningxue, who had outstanding offensive abilities.

Offensive tactics are more suitable for Mu Nujiao, who lacks offensive capabilities.

As for Xinxia, ​​Lu Ran prepared three magical artifacts: one for meditation, one for mental attributes, and one for amplifying healing magic.
Although neither is as good as these two, it wins in terms of quantity.

Lu Ran also prepared one for each of his girlfriends in Shanghai, TuTu and TingTing.

For the rest of the time, Lu Ran briefly engaged in demon hunting, as he had promised Lingling, and also to improve his hunter level.

After returning to Shanghai, Mu Nujiao used her resources to purchase a copy of the Star River Vein.

With the powerful magical artifact given to him by Lu Ran, he possessed the power of a commander-level creature in a single strike, and easily secured the top position in the botany department of the main campus.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the three-step tower opportunity rewarded during Challenge Week, he directly entered it to cultivate.

Mo Fan was in the same batch as Mu Nujiao, but compared to Mu Nujiao, Mo Fan's resources were rather meager!
Even without the level drop caused by the demonic element, his cultivation progress was still much slower than Mu Nujiao's. He would need to cultivate diligently for at least a while before he could break through to the higher level.

After completing her cultivation at the Three-Step Tower, Mu Nujiao brought good news: she had broken through to the next level!
In the capital, Mu Ningxue, a few days later, also received good news—she had achieved a breakthrough as well.

The two of them immediately awakened their third system, which is a secondary system of magic.

It is worth mentioning that, due to the time difference, Lu Ran personally accompanied both Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue to complete their advanced awakenings.

The awakening stone that Mu Nujiao chose was a rare sound-based one, which was obtained for her through Lu Ran's special channels.

She now possesses plant and wind-type abilities, and if she combines them with sound-type abilities, she will be even more adept in battle.

Unfortunately, just like in the original story, Mu Nujiao's third awakened element is ice.

Mu Nujiao was not entirely satisfied with this, but it wasn't unacceptable either.

Ice-type skills, as a secondary skill, can also enhance the battlefield control of plant-type skills.

Mu Ningxue, on the other hand, chose the space-based element!

The spatial magic system is the magic system that high-level mages most desire to awaken, and Mu Ningxue is no exception.

Unfortunately, she awakened a summoning ability.
Lu Ran sighed, realizing that the summoning system was a trap for Mu Ningxue, and it seemed he needed to prepare in advance.
