Within the white mist, the Night Thunder Dream Beast moved with light steps, shadowy and ghostlike, slipping through the gaps between several soldiers.

Due to the cover of shadows, even the Japanese officer failed to notice it for a moment. He scratched his head in confusion, thinking it was an illusion.

Lu Jun entered Sea Battle City and immediately controlled his stardust. With a single thought, his Star Atlas activated, and his Psychic Probing swept layer by layer in all directions, enveloping a radius of several kilometers. The figures of countless sea monster mages manifested in his mind as a 3D map.

Very quickly, he located his teammates. Among them, the situation of Mu Ningxue not far from here was the most perilous. A mere dual-element Intermediate Peak mage was fighting alone against a Commander-level Blue Valley Savage Beast!

He recalled his own performance when he was only Intermediate Level 3, assisting Professor Ruan to barely kill a Sub-Commander.

Lu Jun could only say that back then, his perspective was too narrow he should’ve soloed it.

Cough cough, although during the Yangtze River training he hadn’t yet reached the Intermediate peak, this group of National Institute youths were truly absurd, one more outrageous than the next.

He hesitated for a moment and didn’t interfere, leaving it for Mo Fan, who would arrive later.

Taking a step forward, he went straight toward the main group to provide aid.

Soon, he saw from a distance a mountain-like tide of green monsters surging over, besieging one of the buildings.

These were Sawtooth Green Demons—Servant-level sea monsters covered in green scale-like bumps, with saw-like jaws and lower bodies structured like frogs. Amphibious, their jumping ability was extraordinary.

As the most prolific species breeding in Japan’s coastal waters, they had long served as cannon fodder. Yet, no matter how cannon-fodder-like, each was still a Servant-level monster and with such overwhelming numbers, anyone would be daunted.

In front of the building, all kinds of magical lights were flickering it was the National Institute members desperately holding the line.

Thankfully, the terrain was narrow, so they didn’t face too many enemies at once. A team of ten rotated shifts, barely managing.

Lu Jun acted decisively. This time, he used Water Element magic there couldn’t be a more suitable setting.

In the next moment, deep blue light surged around him. One magical illustration after another unfolded, waves rippling, and a Water Constellation formed.

Advanced Water Spell — Heaven’s Water Curtain!

Its first-level effect focused on defense, but under the influence of Tide and Withering talents, and further distorted by his mastery over the Domain of Water, it underwent a drastic transformation.

Actually, the original Mo Fan had also started from mastering the Fire Element, eventually creating countless custom spells. Lu Jun naturally wasn’t inferior to him.

Suddenly, the sky caved in at one spot, and vast dark-blue water poured down like an inverted waterfall, transforming into thousands of threads falling swiftly. The dense white mist around surged inward, quickly condensing into fine filaments.

Looking closely, these lines were all high-pressure water currents, with incredibly turbulent flow.

Lu Jun’s eyes flickered with spiritual brilliance as he suddenly clapped his hands together.

Instantly, the sky and ground were covered with interwoven black threads densely packed, slashing, sweeping, binding each with a different motion, slicing hundreds of Sawtooth Green Demons into countless fragments.

In that instant, the world before his eyes turned crimson, as countless blood blossoms burst into the air.

Immediately after, countless dim blue starlight particles soared skyward, flocking into the White Tiger Pendant like swallows returning to their nests.

Hundreds of Servant-level Remnant Souls, once fused and combined with the dropped complete soul essences, yielded seven to eight full Servant-grade Soul Essences.

Lu Jun was very satisfied the White Tiger Pendant hadn’t had a proper harvest since leaving the Ancient Capital. At the moment, it only had three synthesized Warrior-grade Soul Essences, two Commander-grade Remnant Souls (the two ghost ministers), and one complete Commander-grade Soul Essence (the Scarlet Ridge Demon).

Altogether, this haul would be enough to light up nearly two hundred Level-4 stardusts he was now infinitely close to advancing to Level-4 Advanced Magic.

Afterward, with a thought, he plucked the stardust strings like a zither. In a radius of several kilometers, countless black threads began pulling and spinning rapidly.

One after another, straight, thin high-pressure water jets slashed through everything. Wherever they passed, not only were the Servant-level monsters minced, but even Warrior-level ones were no different fragile and helpless. Even the sturdy buildings forged with Earth Element magic were sliced into rubble.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!

One building after another collapsed. Their cross-sections were smooth to the extreme. The gigantic Warrior-level sea monsters suffered the same fate their limbs and bones severed into countless segments, toppling like toy blocks, spilling blood and flesh all over the place.

Lu Jun’s slaughter was far too ruthless. All the Japanese mages nearby watched in terror, retreating again and again, not daring to get close.

“What… what’s working up ahead? Why is it so terrifying?”

The general in charge of this district raised his binoculars, seriously observing Lu Jun.

Inside the building that served as a rest point, Ai Jiangtu and the others suddenly perked up. Standing at the entrance, they were splattered with blood, reeking of blood and rotten fish.

But they shivered with excitement instead and shouted joyfully, “It’s Captain Lu Jun, he’s finally here—thank the heavens!”

Li Kai, Mu Tingying, Zhou Xun, and the others who had been struggling and harboring resentment were left speechless at the sight of Lu Jun’s terrifying power. All complaints vanished in the waves of cheers.

In just a short span, Lu Jun’s eyes had turned bloodshot as he slaughtered nearly an entire species’ worth of monsters.

Thousands of Servant-level sea monsters—after being fused yielded a total of seventy complete Soul Essences. The number of Warrior-level Soul Essences increased to five. It couldn’t be helped one needed to slaughter a hundred Warriors just to synthesize one Soul Essence.

Only the Commander-level monsters remained untouched.

Once sea monsters reached Commander-level, they became highly intelligent. A few such beasts caught within the Water Strangulation Net suffered densely layered wounds just from a brief contact and immediately retreated in horror.

After all, it was merely a human’s Advanced AoE spell, and even just a portion of its power was enough to penetrate their Commander-grade defense scales. If that human truly targeted them, wouldn’t they be doomed?

Lu Jun had no way to chase after those Commander-level sea monsters that dove back into the deep sea. The number of cannon-fodder sea monsters was just too great endlessly swarming in.

With his current killing efficiency, he might as well focus on the vast number of Servants. The thousands of Servant Remnant Souls combined were no less valuable than a single Commander Remnant Soul.

Within moments, this street had become a hellish inferno, bathed in crimson. Its tone had completely diverged from the other streets under defense.

Any sea monster that accidentally stepped into it was instantly reduced to shredded meat, as if stepping into a game’s laser alarm—nothing could survive.

“This custom spell’s reaping power is extraordinary, derived from Heaven Water Curtain let’s call it Water Screen Strangulation Net.”

Lu Jun murmured to himself. Heaven’s net was vast once cast, everything beneath was annihilated.

He had mastered the usage of high-pressure water jets long ago, but the destructive power had been mediocre until he obtained the Withering talent, which turned it into a force of devastation.

Gradually, not a single sea monster in Japan’s Sea Battle City dared to approach.

Atop the building, Lu Jun stood tall, his black-gold coat billowing in the wind, exuding the domineering aura of a man holding an entire street by himself.

At that moment, the tide unexpectedly began to retreat. Since the monsters near Lu Jun were the first to withdraw, from a high-altitude perspective, the first blank region to appear in the black sea tide was exactly at his location making it seem as though he alone had driven off the entire sea monster army.

All the Japanese mages who saw this couldn’t recover their senses for a long while.

After a long silence, someone finally responded to the general’s question:

“He’s the National Institute’s Captain from China… He’s a Chinese mage!”
