“Boom!!!”

  “Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~!!!!”

  As Mo Fan led Mu Ningxue away, Zhan Kong and Lu Nian's battle had to cease.

  Lu Nian was yelling at Zhan Kong "The best test subject because of his Double Innate Elements!!!!"

  Zhan Kong’s mind swarmed with more questions. According to what Lu Nian had mentioned, they had experimented on countless people, and the test subjects were basically dead. What they were doing was probably inhumane, otherwise, they would not be so secretive about it.

  Why would having Double Innate Elements make him the best test subject? Why would the new Element be reted to his Double Innate Elements?

  Zhan Kong had been reluctant to expose his Double Innate Elements, as he was worried that something like this would happen. However, a paper could never wrap fire. It was only a matter of time until his talent was exposed. He hadn’t thought he would be targeted this quickly, as he had only shown his Double Innate Elements quite recently, let alone be targeted by a bunch of demented Battlemages.

  “What does my Double Innate Elements have anything to do with the new Element?” Zhan Kong asked.

  “Let him go first,” Lu Nian was not stupid.

  “You tell me now, or die now.” Zhan said.

  “Do you think I’m a three-year-old? You’re dead regardless. Release him, and I’ll give you all a quick death. If the new Element is a success, we might even carve your names on a monument,” Lu Nian said.

  Mo Fan knew that Lu Nian was running out of patience. He turned around and gnced at Mu Ningxue.

  Mu Ningxue nodded.

  Lu Nian continued speaking with a smirk. “The test subjects only managed to survive for a brief period. On top of that, they would also lose their ability to think rationally, as their bodies could not handle the burden from the process. They would die instantly once the efficacy of the test drug ran out. It felt like all their life force was depleted within a short period of time. We have never had a single survivor since the start of the experiment.”

  “Such a sinister experiment! You’re treating human lives as if they had no value!” Zhan Kong snapped.

  “Whatever you think, the experiment was actually inspired from observing some mutated parasitic beasts...” Lu Nian added. At this stage, he could not care less if the experiment was described as inhumane. Even if the Magic Association banned the method, they would not give up. They were so close to succeeding. Once it worked, the world would no longer be in the control of the magicians.

  “Parasite beasts. You’re using living humans as their hosts?” Zhan Kongs’s heart shuddered. Mo Fan immediately recalled the Mother Scale Skin Phantom.

  The Mother Scale Skin Phantom had turned a human into a monster. Normally, these monsters would have strong combat capabilities. Ordinary magicians were no match for them.

  It fit the condition of losing rational thought!

  “You don’t need to know the details. Don’t harbor a grudge against us. Many people died peaceful deaths, or should I say, meaningless. Many were killed by the demon beasts, very saddening. Meanwhile, you are dying for the birth of a new Element, such an honorable sacrifice...” Lu Nian paused in the middle of his sentence.

  Lu Nian was finally a safe distance from him, thus there was no point wasting any time further. His priority was to kill the others, and bring the one with Double Innate Elements back so they could proceed with the experiment.

  “The next time I see you, I’ll trample you to the ground and spit on you. You’re a f**king crossbreed between your close retives. You can dream about your ambition in hell!” Zhan Kong burst out cursing.

  Lu Nian did not treat it seriously. He burst into ughter and said, “If you managed to survive the experiment...Kill them!” Lu Nian waved his hand and gave the order.

  This was because the Giant Lizard Pseudo-dragon had indeed sensed their movements and flew over.

  The Giant Lizard Pseudo-dragon didn't care about the situation of these two humans; it only knew that this was its territory, and these two humans dared to fight so recklessly here.

  This was simply not putting it, the Lizard Overlord, in its eyes!

  With the appearance of the Giant Lizard Pseudo-dragon, Zhan Kong and Lu Nian's battle also had to stop, and they each dodged.

  But Zhan Kong was more unlucky; he was targeted first.

  “Holy crap—!!!!!”

  At this moment, Head Instructor Zhan Kong truly couldn't help but curse!

  That damned Pseudo Dragon, why chase him instead of Lu Nian??

  It was as if it had some kind of serious illness!

  Lu Nian watched as the Giant Lizard Pseudo-dragon pursued Zhan Kong, and he himself headed towards Desote City.

  In a jungle.

  “Stay back!” Mu Ningxue said, unable to bear it any longer.

  Mo Fan looked at the cold beauty in his arms, her angry expression, but he showed no intention of moving at all. Instead, he said, “That arrow you released earlier, it froze you so badly. Aren’t I just giving you some warmth?”

  “You…”

  Taking advantage of her and being so shameless, this truly infuriated Mu Ningxue, making her almost grind her teeth.

  “Mo Fan, it’s really impossible between us… My family has already arranged an engagement for me,” Mu Ningxue said, feeling very helpless.

  “Oh,” Mo Fan responded.

  But he only responded, and at the same time, the hand wrapped around her waist tightened even more.

  “Then when you have my child, that’s when I’ll take you back to see Mu Zhuoyun.”

  “…”

  Mu Ningxue was numb. To encounter such a shameless scoundrel, and she had no strength to resist.

  When she turned back, wanting to say something more, Mo Fan’s face happened to draw closer.

  For a moment, their eyes met…

  Mu Ningxue immediately pulled her head back a bit.

  “You…”

  Mo Fan let go and shrugged: “You can’t bme me for this. You were the one who suddenly turned back.”

  It was as if he hadn't noticed Mu Ningxue wanting to turn her head and intentionally moved closer.

  Mu Ningxue was speechless for a moment, knowing it might have been Mo Fan’s intention, but her heart was very chaotic now.

  Conversely, Mo Fan’s mood was exceedingly good.

  In the evening, Mo Fan successfully found a cave. When he dismounted from the Snow Frost Star Wolf, Mo Fan also carried Mu Ningxue down.

  Mu Ningxue originally wanted to refuse, but unfortunately, before she could speak, she was carried by Mo Fan into the cave.

  After entering the cave, Mo Fan put her down and asked, “Can you meditate and recover on your own?”

  Of course, he couldn't possibly stay in the wilderness with Mu Ningxue forever, and as for a child, that was even more out of the question. If she didn't agree, Mo Fan wouldn't resort to that kind of tasteless thing; he didn't care for it.

  Moreover, between a single moment of pleasure and continuous pleasure, Mo Fan could still distinguish which was light and which was heavy.

  “Not yet,” Mu Ningxue shook her head.

  She had already tried, but the backsh of coldness was still present. She simply couldn't meditate.

  “Then get some rest early,” Mo Fan said.

  Mu Ningxue heard this and looked at Mo Fan warily.

  Seeing Mu Ningxue's questioning and wary gaze, Mo Fan said discontentedly, “We’re childhood sweethearts, aren’t we? Is it possible that in your eyes, I’m that tasteless?”

  “You weren’t honest at all along the way!” Mu Ningxue said coldly.

  “That was during an escape.”

  “Don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”

  With that, Mo Fan began to meditate.

  Although his perception wasn't extremely strong, Mo Fan could still detect anyone entering the cave immediately.

  And seeing Mo Fan calm down and meditate, Mu Ningxue also y down on a bnket on a stone to rest.

  Although Mu Ningxue was angry about today’s events, she still believed Mo Fan wouldn’t harm him.

  Even though the two hadn't been in contact for many years, she still had this thought. And she was indeed extremely weak at this moment, and soon after leaning there, she slowly fell into a deep sleep.

  Aside from the campfire in front of them, the entire cave was extremely quiet for a time.

  And just as Mo Fan had entered meditation for a while, he suddenly felt a fluctuation from the blood essence on his body!

  With a hint of doubt, Mo Fan casually took it out. The blood essence in his hand looked like a drop of blood solidified as it fell, but its texture felt like gss; if he squeezed it hard with both hands, it would shatter.

  Mo Fan didn't shatter it, nor did he make any moves. After all, he didn't want to lose his cultivation for no reason.

  However…

  When he was about to put the blood essence away, it floated up on its own and then transformed into a bloody mist in front of him!

  Then…

  It seemed as if it was guided by something, and it poured into his body all at once. This sudden situation caught Mo Fan off guard. Just as he was about to see what was happening to his body, his body suddenly became rigid.

  His pupils changed color, deep enough to contain a vast starry sky, from endless bck to mysterious moon-silver, or boundless seas of fire, and pervasive chaotic purple!

  In Mo Fan’s spiritual world…

  Besides the four star clouds, what Mo Fan saw was a strange glow, revealing an eerie blood-red, yet tinged with mystic-purple, mixed with peculiar moonlight, and even smeared with bizarre bck light… Ultimately, if one had to describe its final color, it would be blood-ink!

  It wasn't like the pure bck luster of the Shadow Element, but an ink color combining bck and moonlight, and its red glow was a blood color formed by the fusion of red and purple.

  A blood-ink colored Star Dust!

  “Thump!”

  “Thump!”

  “…”

  Just by looking at it, Mo Fan felt that intense heartbeat.

  It was a strong and powerful sensation!

  Moreover, it was at the moment this blood-ink colored Star Dust appeared that Mo Fan felt a powerful force. It was a fluctuation filled with wildness yet capable of tearing the sky and rending the earth.

  “Hoo…”

  Suddenly, Mo Fan reopened his eyes. At this moment, he let out a sigh of relief. Just now, a second ago, he almost couldn't resist the temptation to use that power. Mo Fan hadn't expected the blood essence to actively integrate into his body!!

  And, it had even manifested within his spiritual world at this time. He, at the Intermediate Mage level, now possessed a fifth System, which was the Evil System. He had originally thought he would only need to use it once he reached Ancient Capital, and how to accommodate it was still a problem. But unexpectedly, it directly solved his trouble?

  “Hiss…”

  However, before Mo Fan could ponder too much, after absorbing the blood essence, a sudden surge of pain struck him. A powerful energy surged wildly within his body, like scorching va flowing through his limbs and bones.

  Every inch of his skin felt as if it were being seared by fmes, and the pain, like an electric current, coursed through his entire body, making it almost unbearable. His body trembled uncontrolbly, cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his face was as pale as a ghost.

  Mo Fan gritted his teeth, trying to maintain his consciousness. He felt his muscles constantly tearing and reassembling, and his bones were also undergoing subtle changes. This pain was more excruciating than any torture, but he knew this was the overy of the demon bloodline, and also a necessary path for him to become stronger.

  He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to remain calm. He recalled the hardships and difficulties he had faced along the way, knowing that he couldn't fall here. He firmly believed that as long as he endured this trial, he would gain greater power.

  As time passed, Mo Fan’s body gradually adapted to the pain. He felt his muscles continuously strengthening, and his bones becoming harder. He knew he was undergoing a transformation, a complete change from the inside out. His body seemed to have experienced an unprecedented remolding.

  Finally, when the st trace of pain dissipated, Mo Fan felt his body as if it had been completely renewed.
