Chapter 61

"Fan Mo, your reaction was quick, and the speed at which you released your spell surprised us. We thought you would be one of those fresh graduates who would be scared stiff at the sight of a demon," Li Wenjie walked up to Mo Fan and patted his shoulder heavily.

"Yes, we thought it would take you half a year before you could be of any use. We didn’t expect your mental fortitude to be so good, and you even saved Guo Caitang. Guo Caitang, you should offer your life in gratitude," Fei Shi said with a hearty laugh.

Mo Fan had no experience or resume to qualify for this position. In fact, their demon-hunting squad required at least ten demon kills. If Mo Fan were from another department, such a prestigious team would never recruit him. Even Fire Department graduates were not accepted, as the demon-hunting squad fought demons in the city. If other hunters couldn’t defeat the demons, they would likely die, and if the demon-hunting squad failed, it could endanger the city’s defenseless civilians.

The city demon-hunting squad had a greater responsibility, and its members had to be the elite among hunters.

Considering the rarity and power of Lightning Mages, the demon-hunting squad was willing to spend half a year training a complete novice. Mo Fan was seen as a total rookie, and it was uncertain if he could even fully release a spell when encountering a demon.

Who would have thought that just now, he completed the Lightning Seal skill with lightning speed, and his control over the star tracks was so proficient that it made the demon-hunting squad look at him with new respect!

Especially Guo Caitang, who initially berated Mo Fan, the rookie, with a condescending tone. But when the critical moment came, it was this rookie who saved her, making her feelings incredibly complex.

"Alright, Li Wenjie, Fei Shi, you two go check the cafeteria. If there are no more demons, the rest can be left to the police. Hopefully, that girl is still alive," Xu Dahuang said.

"OK!"

Rescue operations required a large number of people, and the demon-hunting squad mainly focused on eliminating threats. Fei Shi and Li Wenjie would work with the police to search for the missing Lin Yun'er.

However, a week had passed, and the chances of the girl surviving were very slim.

"Buzz~~~~~~~~~"

Just as Mo Fan was about to leave, the small loach pendant suddenly vibrated.

"Is there a remnant soul??"

Mo Fan's heart leaped with joy, and he hurriedly walked to the giant-eyed rat's corpse.

A faint blue light, like a firefly, appeared on the giant-eyed rat's body, small like a candle flame, and it slowly drifted toward the pendant around Mo Fan's neck as if being called.

The others were busy with other tasks and didn’t notice this. Mo Fan successfully absorbed the giant-eyed rat's remnant soul into his small loach pendant.

The small loach pendant had the ability to automatically collect remnant souls. The last time he killed a ghost wolf, it also absorbed the ghost wolf's remnant soul.

Unfortunately, to truly grow the small loach pendant, it seemed to need more refined essence souls. It was unclear if collecting remnant souls would have any effect, and he would need to study this further.

Additionally, the Magic Association and Hunter Alliance sold remnant souls, each costing about 10,000 yuan. If collecting enough remnant souls could help the small loach grow, he would need to use the money earned from demon-hunting to buy these remnant souls. The priority was to grow the small loach pendant to the Spirit Level, so he could definitely upgrade his Fire Nourish to Fire Nourish? Burst within a year!

"Hmm?? The lightning star particles seem to have changed. Could it be that..." Suddenly, Mo Fan noticed the star particles in his lightning star dust were incredibly excited.

Their excitement was similar to the initial change in the fire star particles, which transformed his Fire Nourish? Burn into Fire Nourish? Bone Burn.

This meant that the Lightning Seal was about to be upgraded to the next level!!!

Previously, during meditation, the lightning star particles showed no signs of movement. Today, his rapid and precise spell release caused them to transform. It was unclear if this was due to the battle's intensity or the absorption of the remnant soul.

Fire Nourish had already reached Bone Burn, and it was unknown what the first-level Lightning Seal would become at the second level. It was truly exciting!

...

To Mo Fan's surprise, this was his first completed mission, and he received a substantial commission.

The school spent 200,000 yuan to have the city demon-hunting squad resolve the issue, and Mo Fan received 10% of that, which was 20,000 yuan. Considering he was a new recruit, he would typically receive a probationary salary, and the commission would be symbolic. However, due to his exceptional performance and his unique lightning attribute, the team decided to directly regularize him.

20,000 yuan was equivalent to his father's income from driving for nearly half a year!

Mo Fan didn’t waste this money; he carefully saved it for emergencies.

This was Mo Fan's first pot of gold. Although it was dangerous, the reward was surprisingly high, much higher than he expected. This was faster than the income from hunting demons outside, no wonder so many people were vying to join the city demon-hunting squad.

Mu Family Manor

Gentle ripples spread across the azure private swimming pool. Mu He, wearing a swim cap, swam to the edge and lay on a lounge chair under a sun umbrella, his body still wet. He glanced at the female private swimming instructor with tanned skin, inadvertently catching a glimpse of her half-exposed, round chest.

"Crack, crack, crack~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

Just as Mu He was about to speak, he noticed a layer of cold frost slowly spreading over the pool, quickly freezing the surface.

"Don’t... I’ll swim later." Mu He felt a headache. The entire pool was frozen like winter, leaving him speechless.

"Uncle He, my father wants you to come over," a tall, thin man with a particularly gloomy expression said.

"Yu Ang, your ice star dust is getting stronger. How is your training going?" Mu He asked with a gentle smile.

"It’s a bit slow," the young man named Yu Ang replied.

"You call that slow..." Mu He laughed bitterly. "Others are still at the first level of Ice Vine, but you have already mastered Ice Vine? Condense. At your training speed, it won’t take more than two years to reach the third level of Ice Vine, Ice Vine? Cover, which can spread a large area of ice. Even a small fire student would be frozen solid, not to mention a large area!"

"Two years? That’s still too long," Yu Ang muttered.

"You’re always dissatisfied with your training, but in fact, you are already far superior to your peers. Of course, you still have a gap compared to Mu Ningxue, but she is special. You should know that your father, Zhuo Yun, has a grudge against that boy. After a year, you can naturally deal with that boy, and I’m sure he will give you a great gift," Mu He said with a chuckle.

"I don’t even consider that clown a threat," Yu Ang said.
