Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant

Captain Liang had returned to the rooftop of the building, panting heavily. "This is bad. I opened the basement, and Black Beast Monsters got in. I had no choice but to run back inside."

"We'll hold this place for now and wait for the external mages to come as reinforcements..."

Before he could finish, he looked up and saw Lu Jun wielding a platinum light magical tool, ending a massacre. Rushing to the railing, he looked down at the scattered corpses, utterly stunned.

Captain Liang gasped. "Are you really a high school graduate?"

Beside him, Mo Fan was dumbfounded. He had been restraining himself from devouring the Holy Spring to focus on cultivation. But a few hours ago, someone dragged him into this, talking about the "Bo City Red Calamity."

Now, after meeting Lu Jun and learning the full story, Mo Fan swallowed hard and said with a peculiar expression, "Lu Jun, you've been hiding this for so long... You're already at Intermediate level?!"

Amateurs focused on the "magical tool," while experts saw the magic energy.

Long-term-use magical tools existed. For example, in the original timeline, future National Institute contestant Guan Yu wielded a claw, and Mo Fan later used the Black Dragon Armor.

However, the rule was clear: the greater the power, the higher the energy consumption. No magical tool could function without the support of an Intermediate-level Nebula.

"What now?" Captain Liang asked worriedly. "Can your magic energy hold out?"

At that moment, the building gave a slight tremor. Over a hundred Black Beast Monsters were slamming into its walls, piling up like a black tide. Behind them were several Black Robe Cultists.

"Kill all these monsters," Lu Jun said coldly.

Black Beast Monsters were a signature creation of the Black Vatican, made from humans using Psychic and Curse magic. They were mid-level Servant-class creatures, slightly stronger than One-Eyed Magic Wolves. Their strength lay in numbers and their teamwork.

Hearing this, Captain Liang's mouth twitched. Over a hundred of them? Even a few Intermediate mages would hesitate to face such a horde. Thinking of reinforcements, he quickly asked, "What about Vice-Captain Lin and the others?"

"They left," Lu Jun replied calmly, wiping the blood from his Black Metal Longsword. "I told them not to worry about it."

At these words, Captain Liang felt the world spinning, completely speechless.

"They're coming up," Lu Jun noted, seeing dried, terrifying black figures scaling the building's surface like a black tide engulfing the silver-white tower.

Lu Jun despised these Black Beast Monsters. As cursed humans, they didn't produce Soul Remnants or Soul Essences, making them worthless prey.

In two and a half years as a demon hunter, Lu Jun had gathered six Servant-level Soul Essences. His Metal Element Nebula had already strengthened six stars. He was just one Soul Essence away from Metal Element Basic Level 4.

Right now, Lu Jun was eager to head into the wilderness to hunt magic wolves. He had no time to play around with these minor monsters.

Crash!

Just as Captain Liang was about to speak, he was shocked to see Lu Jun begin casting a spell. A radiant blue light burst forth from Lu Jun's body, illuminating half the city's skyline. Waves of water gathered one after another, growing higher each time.

Lu Jun's eyes gleamed with blue light as a radiant star map unfurled beneath his feet, depicting a scene of floods ravaging the earth. Half a year ago, Lu Jun had already broken through to the Intermediate level, and his control over Tidal Wave was now highly proficient.

Within a single breath, the vast energy around Lu Jun had fully gathered. With a powerful punch, the torrential rain swirling in the sky converged upon him. The spiraling whirlpool formed by his Water Barrier surged wildly and cascaded downward.

Violent Wave: Expulsion!

Boom! In the stunned gazes of Mo Fan and Captain Liang, Lu Jun unleashed a roaring, surging blue river, ten meters wide and thirty meters across. It poured down with an overwhelming momentum.

A standard Tidal Wave might only reach a width of ten meters, offering greater range than the Intermediate-level Fire Burst: Wild Blaze, but Lu Jun's Violent Wave was enhanced by his Tidal Spirit Seed, tripling its power.

From a distance, the hundred-meter-tall silver skyscraper looked as though it were enveloped by a colossal blue waterfall. The torrent flowed like a cascade, as if the Milky Way had descended from the heavens!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The black shadows climbing up the building smashed into the torrent one after another. With the heavy impact of the water's force, their bodies were deformed on the spot.

Thud! Thud!

Over twenty Black Beast Monsters were swept down the hundred-meter-high skyscraper by the overpowering wave, slamming into the ground and turning into pulp. Blood blossomed like flowers and spread across the ground, dyeing the blue floodwaters a dark crimson.

The remaining eighty or so Black Beast Monsters panicked and scattered, attempting to attack the Silver Trading Tower from other directions.

However, the entrances had long been sealed by Captain Liang, leaving them no time to break through.

Lu Jun wouldn't give them the chance either.

Taking a deep breath, he once again commanded with a voice full of divine authority: "Tidal Wave!"

The water element energy that had dissipated moments ago gathered again around Lu Jun. Even the dark red glow from the slain monsters below surged upward, drawn into the water currents.

The second Tidal Wave came with increased power.

Boom!

This time, the torrent glowed with a deep blue light. It spanned thirty-nine meters, crashing down with devastating force and sending water splashing dozens of meters into the air, causing the entire building to tremble slightly.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Dozens more Black Beast Monsters on the ground were crushed by the overwhelming torrent.

"Tidal Wave!"

Lu Jun's eyes glowed—one black, one white—as his will commanded the surging magic energy. His aura was overwhelming, his stance majestic, as half the sky behind him was bathed in a radiant blue glow.

The third Tidal Wave swept forth. This time, the torrent widened to forty-six meters, submerging three entire floors of the building. The combined power of the three successive waves created a massive flood that surged forward, pushing over fifty remaining Black Beast Monsters eight hundred meters away.

From a bird's-eye view, the affected area of Bo City resembled a disaster zone, with streets submerged and small buildings in the flood's path leveled completely. Every single Black Beast Monster had been annihilated, crushed by the impact, torn apart by whirlpool forces, or drowned.

Whoosh!

Lu Jun slowly withdrew his magic. The blue glow around him faded, and even the water elements in the vicinity were drained. Above the Silver Trading Tower, the rain clouds parted, creating the bizarre spectacle of a rainless zone.

"This... this... At least peak Intermediate-level power! What kind of Spirit Seed is this?" Captain Liang stammered. Then, realizing something, he exclaimed in shock, "You have dual Intermediate Elements?!"

Previously, he had thought Lu Jun's powerful magical tool would have drained his energy reserves. But now, with this display of overwhelming Water Element magic, it was clear Lu Jun had at least two Nebulae.

"Of course," Lu Jun replied nonchalantly. "My Water and Curse Elements are both Intermediate."

This was a lie. Within Lu Jun's spiritual world, his platinum-colored and blue Nebula occupied the central space, each distinct in form—one resembling a heavenly sword, the other a whirlpool. On the edges, smaller nebulae in black and translucent hues seemed to linger quietly.

Metal was his true Intermediate Element, but Lu Jun wouldn't admit it.

Mo Fan's mouth twitched. After witnessing Lu Jun's formidable magical tool and this powerful display, Mo Fan realized the gap between them had only grown wider after a year of effort.
