Taking a deep breath, Mu Ningxue felt extremely pleasant taking in the oxygen from the chilly air, as if it had helped her toss some unpleasant matters to the back of her head.

After arriving at Xilan Town, Mu Ningxue proceeded to look for an inn.

Xilan Town was a famous place located at the foothill of Tianshan Mountain’s Dongshan. It was a common resting spot for most adventurers planning to explore Tianshan Mountain.

After reaching the Advanced Level, Mu Ningxue was in need of a true adventure, to help fully master her Ice Domain. In order to further improve her innate Ice Seed, the purest snow and ice at Tianshan Mountain seemed to be her best bet.

Taking out her phone, Mu Ningxue sent Mo Fan a text to update him on her whereabouts, just so he would not be too worried about her. She also expressed her grat.i.tude. Without him, she would have had trouble breaking through the heavy chains of the Intermediate Level.

“Yesterday, I saw a Heaven Tiger carrying a woman into town with my own eyes.”

“Strange things happen every year, but there were a lot more cases this year,” two townsfolk were discussing softly.

Mu Ningxue walked past them. She did not really care much about strange rumors.

“That’s nothing, last night, I even saw a moving mountain. Now that was shocking. The mountain was incredibly tall, and it was walking toward the other mountain!” said another person.

“It was so dark last night. I couldn’t even see anything. How boastful can you be?”

“I swear I’m telling the truth, why don’t you believe me?”

Back in the Magic City, Mo Fan received Mu Ningxue’s text early in the morning.

Mo Fan was quite worried when he heard that she wanted to go to Tianshan Mountain on her own. However, considering everything that had happened lately, she did need some time alone.

Hopefully, she could have a breakthrough at Tianshan Mountain, too. The icy mountains were indeed a good choice for her.

Mo Fan had been practicing his Shadow Element lately. After failing his previous attempt, Mo Fan realized that the cultivation of his Shadow Element was not as solid as his primary Fire and Lightning Elements. Even though it was normal for Magicians to fail their breakthroughs, he was still hoping to improve it to the Advanced Level.

Since he had so many Elements to take care of, failing an attempt simply meant he was wasting resources, and he would not always have a huge job like wiping out the Black Vatican to acquire the money he needed, let alone be able to complete missions unharmed all the time!

Mu Ningxue had gone to Tianshan Mountain to continue improving herself, thus it was necessary for Mo Fan to increase his pace too!

Time gradually pa.s.sed. The Chinese national team seemed to have completed their third challenge and was departing for their next destination. The roster was adjusted once again.

If Mo Fan was able to win another duel as a defender, he would soon rejoin the national team.

As a matter of fact, since Mo Fan had joined the Training Hall, not a single country had managed to claim the stamp from China. With that in mind, Mo Fan was definitely going to be promoted…

“s.p.a.ce Rhythm: Compress!”

A practice target made of iron stood at the center of the training ground. As Mo Fan unleashed a silver light, s.p.a.ce energy in the shape of a huge rhombus appeared, producing ripples in the air.

The ripples were produced by a strong compressive force, placing the objects within it under pressure that was several times, twentyfold, or even a hundred times stronger!

The practice target soon exceeded its limit and was crushed into a thin sheet inside the rhombus!

Mo Fan walked up to the iron sheet and seeing it was compressed to only a single centimeter thick, a satisfied smile crossed his face.

s.p.a.ce Compression was the first level among the Intermediate Spells of the s.p.a.ce Element. It was very useful, as Magicians could adjust the pressure according to their needs. With enough control, s.p.a.ce Magicians could even compress their target’s weight and multiply the pressure to stop an enemy from moving.

Mo Fan had yet to master the art to achieve such results, but he did learn its simplest ability to compress s.p.a.ce. If the force was strong enough, he could use the rhomboid s.p.a.ce to lock onto a target and detonate it!

“The second-tier spell is s.p.a.ce Rhythm: Time Stasis, a half-defensive ability. It can slow down every kind of energy, element, material approaching me, making it easier for me to react and dodge incoming attacks. If the attacks are reliant on speed, it can dramatically reduce their damage too!” Mo Fan read the s.p.a.ce Element magic book that he just received in detail. “The second-tier spell of s.p.a.ce Rhythm is quite shocking!” he exclaimed.

Magicians were generally afraid of being attacked simultaneously by multiple enemies. After all, Magicians did not have the speed and reaction times of demon creatures. It was quite difficult for Magicians to perfectly dodge a bunch of attacks coming from all sides.

However, s.p.a.ce Rhythm: Time Stasis could slow down every inbound attack, allowing one to dodge them easily, without relying on a high-level movement skill like Blink.

To be honest, it was something that Mo Fan actually needed. In terms of defense, he really did not have anything else apart from the Black Snake Armor. If he happened to be facing multiple enemies, wouldn’t it be spectacular if he simply cast the s.p.a.ce Rhythm: Time Stasis on their attacks?

Mo Fan decided to cultivate in seclusion in order to learn the second-tier s.p.a.ce Intermediate Spell as early as possible.

He was aiming to improve the s.p.a.ce Element Nebula to the second level. It would not hurt if he unlocked more spells. Mo Fan had slowly discovered that some ordinary countries already had candidates that he could only defeat with his full strength. It was surely not good news to him. After all, China was not the strongest in terms of the standards of Magicians. As a matter of fact, it was not even listed among the top countries! The well-developed countries had lots of extraordinary talents!

The third-tier of s.p.a.ce Rhythm, Crack was even stronger. It was able to tear open a s.p.a.ce crack. Everything touched by the crack would be reduced to a lower dimension.

It basically meant everything caught by the s.p.a.ce crack would be turned into nothing. It was a very terrifying ability. If the s.p.a.ce crack swept past a person’s wrist, their hand and arm would be separated!

Mo Fan spent a long time in seclusion and finally learned the spell s.p.a.ce Rhythm: Time Stasis. However, before he could experiment with it on someone, he was summoned to the Clearsky Hunter Agency by Old Bao.

Mo Fan was rather confused. It was rare for Old Bao to summon him like that. Did Old Bao find him a huge job?

With Mo Fan’s strength, he would have no problem handling harder jobs. Even though they were normally less rewarding than wiping out the Black Vatican, he a.s.sumed he would still be able to earn twenty to thirty million every job?

“Orb, what orb?” asked Mo Fan, his face blank. They were in the data room on the second floor.

Old Bao was enraged. He said with wide eyes, “Have you forgotten? The evil Essence Orb you brought back from j.a.pan? Were you seriously going to leave something so troublesome to me and simply forget about it?”

“Oh, right, I totally forgot about it, hehe!” Mo Fan put on an awkward face.

“Well, I’ve cleansed the evil presence in it, and modified it. I even asked a friend in the military…”

“Just tell me the outcome.” Mo Fan was too lazy to learn about the complicated details.
