At the academy’s back mountain, upon hearing movement behind her, Ding Yumian suddenly turned around. Her smooth, waterfall-like black hair flew up, breathtakingly beautiful.

Her delicate and gentle face stared straight at Lu Jun, her beautiful eyes veiled with mist, as if she were thinking of something.

Lu Jun was also sizing Ding Yumian up and down, stunned by this beautiful white-robed fairy. Her serene and ethereal temperament, refined by the passage of time, now carried a touch of elegant maturity.

Mm, including her body as well, like a ripened fruit.

Ding Yumian’s thoughts stirred. Understanding what Lu Jun was thinking, she blushed and shot him a sideways glance.

At last, Lu Jun could no longer suppress his longing. He stepped forward and proactively embraced Ding Yumian, his arms wrapping around her slender, boneless waist, his head resting on her shoulder as he took a deep breath.

“You…”

Ding Yumian’s body trembled, yet she did not struggle.

Who would have thought that Lu Jun would press his advantage further. Gazing at her flawless, jade-like face, those red lips shimmering with luster and irresistibly tempting, he immediately leaned in to taste their sweetness.

With his seasoned experience, it did not take long for Ding Yumian’s entire body to go soft.

Moments later, the two separated. Lu Jun looked spirited and satisfied, after so long, he had finally managed to make a move.

Ding Yumian wiped the corner of her lips. Her eyes turned gemstone-red, her temperament changing drastically, fiery and passionate, as she cursed loudly, “Pervert!”

Immediately after, her expression blurred, returning to her tranquil, valley-like demeanor. Only her pretty face remained flushed, too shy to meet Lu Jun’s gaze.

She had never resisted physical closeness with Lu Jun; it was just that her personality was somewhat conservative.

Ding Yumian calmed herself and said softly, “Are you alright? You were detained by the Parthenon a year ago.”

“I’m fine,” Lu Jun said lightly. “You know I have the Ancient King’s Armor. I even transformed into the Undead Emperor and caused quite a scene.”

Hearing this, Ding Yumian said with self-blame, “I understand. I just couldn’t leave Pearl Academy to help you.”

Lu Jun felt a surge of pity. She had stayed within Pearl’s boundaries all this time, unable to take a single step outside, one could imagine how tormenting that was.

“Soon, very soon. My cultivation is about to be complete.” His gaze sharpened as he muttered, “Level the Holy City, and behead the Seven Archangels.”

At the end, Lu Jun reassured her, “It’s fine. Protecting myself is what I do best.”

The two strolled through the academy’s back mountain, sharing a bit of warmth.

However, Ding Yumian soon noticed Lu Jun’s improper intentions. Blushing, she slapped away his wandering hand and gently pushed him, saying, “That’s enough. You have your own matters, and plenty of old acquaintances to see. Go take care of them first.”

Then she lowered her head, nearly burying it in her chest, and said in a soft voice, “Tonight…”

Lu Jun’s eyes lit up. He laughed and withdrew his hand, leaving the place with light steps and a joyful mood, savoring the moment endlessly, he would feast again tonight.

Having returned to Magic City, there were many people Lu Jun wanted to see, such as Lu Weixi, Professor Yuan, and Principal Xiao.

Unbeknownst to him, news of Lu Jun’s return to Jiuzhou spread rapidly, reaching everyone who paid attention and stirring up quite a wave.

Those friendly toward him, such as Pang Lai, Shao Zheng, and Hua Zhanhong, all let out a sigh of relief. This brat had finally had enough roaming around outside. With such outstanding talent, staying within Jiuzhou was fine, they could offer some protection. Abroad, however, they would be powerless.

As for those harboring malicious intent, killing intent surged, and undercurrents stirred.

At the Zhao Clan’s territory, a man with purplish-red hair, a gaunt and pale face, and sunken eye sockets stepped forward. He looked rather young.

However, once a mage cultivated to a high level, aging could be delayed to some extent, making his true age unclear.

A blond young man within the clan noticed his movement and stepped forward to stop him. “Zhao Jing, where are you going?”

Zhao Jing, with an unrestrained aura, sneered at Zhao Manyan as he brushed past him and said coldly, “Where I, Zhao Jing, go is none of your damn business.”

Immediately after, his figure vanished from the spot, using a strange magic to depart.

Zhao Jing muttered to himself, “Lu Jun? A heaven-defying genius? The next ceiling of human power? I want to see what gives you the nerve to meddle in the Zhao Clan’s inheritance!”

At the same time, in a city in northern Jiuzhou.

Inside a private swimming pool, a purple-eyed youth pressed down a voluptuous, mature woman. As he ravaged her, he snarled, “Damn you, Lu Jun, I know it was you!!”

Leng Jue had obtained information from the serpent-scorpion demon tribes in Africa and from the Pyramid of Khufu. The Triangular Dimensional Mirror had once appeared in Lu Jun’s hands.

At this moment, everything became clear to him. Rage instantly shot sky-high. Not only had he been played like a clown, he had even taken the blame for Lu Jun, barely escaping relentless pursuit in North America.

Leng Jue panted heavily. “Once the grand plan begins, I’ll have the Underworld God make a move and take your life.”

Not only that, there were also Nanrong Ni of the Nanrong Clan and Mu Tingying of the Mu Clan.

Yet all these potential enemies were intimidated by Lu Jun’s formidable cultivation. Very few dared to take action.

Meanwhile, over at Academy, as Lu Jun walked along, his True Name Precognition suddenly and inexplicably sensed several scenes, directly seeing through Zhao Jing, Leng Jue, and the others to the core.

He shook his head and sighed, “Enemy forces are still bent on my destruction. I need to deal with them thoroughly as soon as possible.”

Lu Jun was rather puzzled by the movements of the Zhao Group and was unsure of Zhao Manyan’s current situation. He decided he would ask about it when the time came.

At this moment, he did not rush to see his mentor, Principal Xiao. Instead, he went to visit the youth Lu Weixi, whom he had casually taken out of the Ancient Capital’s Undead Forbidden Zone.

Inside the school hospital’s intensive care ward, on a hospital bed lay a golden-white humanoid figure, dazzling like luminous crystal glass, floating faintly about three inches above the bed.

The boy’s entire body of flesh and blood had transformed into a crystalline, translucent state. Countless blazing strands of light interwove, outlining blood that flowed like liquid radiance, making his original appearance almost indistinguishable.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun never expected that after two years apart, Lu Weixi’s condition had deteriorated to such an extent.

Lu Weixi was only one step away from turning completely into light and merging with nature itself.

Lu Jun swept his gaze over the silver patterns coiling around the surface of the humanoid radiance. If not for Principal Xiao’s intervention using Space Magic to seal it, the flesh-and-blood body would likely have collapsed entirely.

Before long, Lu Weixi seemed to sense Lu Jun’s presence. He slowly opened his eyes and asked with difficulty, “Brother Lu, am I going to die?”

“Don’t rush. I’ve found a way to save you.”

Lu Jun’s expression remained calm as he activated the Life Element. Vast swathes of milky-white radiance overflowed, pouring abundant vitality into Lu Weixi’s body.

Buzz, buzz, buzz! Lu Weixi felt that the Lu Jun before him was like an inexhaustible sea of life, intoxicating beyond measure.

Over the past year and a half, influenced by the Life Element Calamity Talent, the spring of life within Lu Jun had grown increasingly abundant, leaving no need to worry about healing vitality.

Very soon, the radiance enveloping Lu Weixi’s body receded, his skin gradually returning to normal. Vigorous qi and blood flowed freely through his body, suppressing the influence of the Light Element Calamity.

“Oh? Interesting. It actually rolled the Innate Talent [Spirit–Flesh Stabilization]. Not bad—only a stronger body and soul can better bear a Calamity Talent.”

Lu Jun nodded in approval. There was no need to say more, this stemmed from the additional effect of the Super Tier spell All Things Revival, effectively making up for some of Lu Weixi’s innate deficiencies.

But it was not over yet. As Lu Jun’s milky-white radiance dimmed, black-gray hues surged forth. Deathly gray currents flowed into Lu Weixi’s body, continuously offsetting the Light Element energy and wearing it down to a normal level.
