《Everyone Has A Magical Lamp In This World》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I¡¯m so looking forward to it. I¡¯m going to awaken a companion elf today!¡± ¡°Yeah, but don¡¯t be too happy yet. There are many examples of failed innate elf awakenings. If the awakening fails, I can only be an ordinary person for the rest of my life!¡± ¡°It would be great if I could awaken a high-level elf.¡± ¡°Are you thinking too much? There¡¯s a certain chance of losing control during the awakening. If one loses control, the survival rate is only less than 10%!¡± In a small classroom, a group of fifteen- to sixteen-year-old students, who still looked a little immature, were discussing in low voices. Everyone¡¯s faces were filled with anxiety, fear, and great desire. In the crowd, Lorne sat calmly in the back row of the classroom. Unlike the students around him, he looked much calmer and more composed. ¡®Finally, this day has arrived. I must survive in this world¡­¡¯ Lorne muttered in his heart. In the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed since he had transmigrated to this world. When he first came to this world, Lorne felt extremely insecure. After all, this was an unfamiliar world, so it was normal to feel that way. From what he knew of history, this was a parallel world similar to his previous life. However, a hundred years ago, the peaceful lives of the people in this world were suddenly broken. A group of terrifying demons appeared in the human world and massacred wantonly! What cruel death! This group of demons had caused countless deaths and injuries to the human race. Humans, who originally stood at the top of the world, had suddenly became prey. In just four to five years, the population of the entire world had been reduced by one-third. Just like that, the humans had lived in fear in the past ten years. Fortunately, the elves who opposed demons were born! At the beginning, people discovered that there were countless magic lamps scattered around the world. Each magic lamp could temporarily protect the humans from harm. However, facing the fierce demons, the number of humans continued to decrease. Even with the magic lamp¡¯s protection, it could only slow down the speed of human extinction. One day, the humans finally discovered another use of the magic lamp. It was a method that allowed humans to summon elves ¨C using newborns as a medium! Every human had to choose to take in a magic lamp from the moment they were born and nurture their own accompanying elves. In the future, if the awakening was successful and the corresponding elves were awakened, they could become spirit envoys. There were very few envoys and a spirit envoy could only awaken one elf. The elf¡¯s strength also determined the envoy¡¯s strength. On the other hand, if someone failed to awaken, the magic lamp would dissipate and return to a certain part of the world. The person would only be able to enter the acquired magic lamp. Even if the person were to awaken in the future, the probability of awakening an elf would be extremely low. Furthermore, the conditions for receiving the magic lamp after birth were extremely harsh. Without sufficient wealth, it was impossible for them to have a chance at it. Hence, if a newborn were unable to receive the magic lamp on its first day, then its future would basically be destined to be that of an ordinary person. Of course, with the emergence of spirit envoys, there would be no lack of talents in this world. Their status in the city was also very revered. However, if they did not become spirit envoys, it meant that they did not have the ability to protect themselves. If they could not successfully awaken, most people could only become mere workers servicing others or coolies as well as doing menial tasks such as reproductive tasks. If the next generation could successfully awaken, their status would also be improved. However, no matter how much it was improved, it could not be separated from the category of ordinary people. In this world, only by becoming spirit envoys could one become superior! After experiencing decades of terror, this world had long formed a cruel law of survival where the strong preyed on the weak. After the age of ten, every person who received the magic lamp would enter a special school to equip themselves with knowledge and methods to deal with demons. Until the age of eighteen, the school would organize a ceremony to awaken the elves. Through the awakening, one¡¯s fate would be decided. This was a systematic method of training that could increase the number of spirit envoys to the greatest extent. The success rate was around 30%. Through this method, the number of spirit envoys had increased more than tenfold. It was also because of this that the humans managed to gain a foothold in the past hundred years. They began to slowly expanding their bases and building small cities by relying on powerful spirit envoys. ¡­ ¡°I hope that my innate elf can be successfully awakened!¡± Lorne could not help but think of the magic lamp that he had taken in. The magic lamp had fused into his body, and he could only see it during meditation. Lorne¡¯s magic lamp was crystal clear and it had a bronze-colored texture. It emitted a gentle light, making him feel waves of warmth. However, Lorne had never felt that there was anything special about this magic lamp. This time, the light emitted by Lorne¡¯s meditative lamp seemed to experience some fluctuations. ¡°Eh? It seems to be different from before!¡± In the past, the lamp would just stay in its body quietly. Even the meditative observing lamp would not have any reaction. [ Ding, the host¡¯s tolerance has reached the standard. The multiverse elven system has been activated¡­ ] At this moment, a mechanical voice entered Lorne¡¯s ears. ¡°System? My cheats have arrived.¡± Hearing the mechanical voice, Lorne could not help but feel delighted. After traveling for so long, the system had finally appeared. ¡°Stop talking, the teacher is here!¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Suddenly, the classroom door was pushed open heavily. A person was standing at the door. The noisy classroom instantly quieted down and everyone¡¯s attention was focused on the door. A middle-aged man with a cold expression walked in. Everyone sat obediently and their gaze was focused on the crystal ball-like object in the teacher¡¯s hand. ¡°Hehehe¡­¡± The suddenly opened his mouth and laughed. His voice sounded like it was rubbing against glass, unpleasant to the ears. However, no one dared to show any strange expressions. It was obvious that the man was a spirit envoy. Although they did not know what level he was at, no matter how weak he was, he was not an existence that these students could look down on. He opened his eyes and scanned the classroom. His eyes did not have pupils, only pitch-black eyeballs. He was completely different from a normal person. He slowly walked to the center of the podium and then revealed a terrifying smile. ¡°Let me tell you first. People might die during the awakening process. Does anyone want to quit?¡± The middle-aged spirit envoy asked coldly. The temperature in the classroom seemed to have dropped tremendously. Some people showed concern and fear.. Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation No one stood up and said that they wanted to quit. After all, they had stayed in school for so many years just for today. As for the probability of death, it was extremely rare. People would always have a glimmer of hope. The spirit envoy looked around. After seeing that no one stood up, he said in a slightly gentler tone, ¡°Since there¡¯s no one who wants to quit, then let¡¯s begin! ¡°The person whose name I¡¯ve called, please come up and begin the awakening ceremony.¡± He took out a piece of paper from his bag and read the name list: ¡°Li Chong, come up.¡± The person whose name was called stood up and slowly walked to the podium. However, this boy had an arrogant look on his face and looked at the crowd with contempt. ¡°Li Chong must be able to awaken an elemental elf, right?¡± ¡°The teachers usually praise him, saying that he¡¯s a once-in-a-century genius.¡± ¡°After he awakens, Li Chong¡¯s life will probably soar.¡± The spirit envoy ignored the discussions of the others and said seriously, ¡°Extend your arm and press it on the crystal ball. ¡°Close your eyes and focus. Meditate on your magic lamp!¡± The man did as he was told and placed his hand on the awakening crystal. Lorne and the others watched everything curiously. In fact, no one knew what the awakening ceremony was about. In an instant, the originally calm crystal ball began to change. Sparks slowly appeared in the crystal ball and gradually condensed. Then, those small sparks began to spread gradually until the entire crystal ball was filled with flames. ¡°Li Chong, awaken the flame-accompanying elf!¡± The middle-aged spirit envoy was very excited as he looked at the flames in the crystal ball. Elemental elves, as the name implied, were elves that could control the elements of heaven and earth. Among the many elves, elemental elves were undoubtedly very rare, and they were also elves of higher levels. Those who possessed elemental elves were often the focus of their cultivation. As long as they grew up successfully in the future, they would definitely be strong. The flames of the crystal ball raged. Li Chong, who had successfully awakened, also had some changes. His body emitted a blazing light. A fiery-red magic lamp appeared, emitting a red light. Then, it slowly condensed into the shape of a small elf. ¡°It really is a fire elf!¡± ¡°I knew Li Chong was a true genius!¡± As the crowd discussed, Li Chong slowly opened his eyes. With a contemptuous smile, Li Chong slowly walked down the podium. The accompanying elf also jumped beside him. ¡°Next, Jiangnan.¡± The man whose name was called stood up and walked up to the podium with a perturbed expression. Under the middle-aged man¡¯s gaze, he extended his palm and slowly pressed it on the crystal ball. A few seconds later, the crystal ball returned to normal. At the same time, a phantom that looked like a magic lamp appeared. With a bang, it turned into a speck of light and disappeared. ¡°Jiangnan, the awakening failed!¡± This was the failure of the awakening. The magic lamp automatically appeared and shattered. Feeling the magic lamp leaving his body, Jiangnan¡¯s face turned pale. He walked down the podium with a sullen face. He could not hide the disappointment and sadness on his face. No one said anything. Even Li Chong, who had been arrogant before, could not help but feel a little sad. The excited eyes of the people below the podium also became nervous. No one wanted to be the next person who failed the awakening. ¡°Next¡­¡± The awakening ceremony continued. Those who had successfully awakened were ecstatic while some were disappointed. After all, the fate of failure was always cruel. The abilities of the awakened elves varied. During this period, a girl named Moli was usually very low-key, but now, she had awakened a healing type elf. It must be known that other than offensive elves, healing types were even rarer. They were a rare species among elves. The higher-ups placed great importance on this type of talent. Someone came to take the girl away on the spot. It was said that they were going to receive special training. Just like that, the awakening ceremony continued until half an hour later. ¡°Next, Lorne.¡± Hearing his name called, Lorne stood up and walked toward the podium. ¡°He¡¯s the last to be awakened, right? I wonder if he¡¯ll succeed in awakening?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Lorne isn¡¯t usually outstanding either. I¡¯m afraid his talent is average.¡± ¡°¡­¡± There were many discussions below the podium. Some people were guessing whether he would succeed, while others were not optimistic. Lorne did not care about all of this. [ Ding, the system has been activated. ] [ Novice mission: the host can complete the mission once the companion elf is successfully activated. ] ¡­ ¡°Novice mission?¡± It was not easy to awaken an elf because they might lose control. The school forbade students from attempting to awaken themselves. After the students reached the age of 15, there would be special spirit envoys to focus on helping the students awaken. This crystal ball was obviously a tool used during the awakening. Taking a deep breath, Lorne placed his hands directly on the crystal ball. In an instant, Lorne felt that he had entered a dark space. An invisible force was pulling his consciousness. As Lorne¡¯s consciousness fade away, the crystal ball in the outside world also changed. The entire crystal ball became pitch-black as if someone had injected it with ink. Then, a white light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black crystal ball. The white light gradually expanded and the black and white colors were evenly matched, in a state of balance. Everyone below the podium looked at the changes in the crystal ball. Even the middle-aged man noticed this strange scene. In the dark space, a transparent barrier suddenly appeared. Lorne reached out his hand and wiped at the barrier. The next second, the barrier shattered and turned into gray powder. A little girl¡¯s voice sounded in his ear. ¡°Big Brother, are you here to look for me?¡± Lorne saw a princess in white dress suddenly appear. An innocent little girl was sitting on a swing. She swayed along with the swing. Lorne was a little puzzled. Was she his companion elf? Why did she look like an innocent little girl next door? Lorne observed for a while and smiled. ¡°Little Sister, are you alone here?¡± The little sister next door shook her legs and looked at Lorne as if she was looking at a fool. ¡°Big Brother, there¡¯s my sister too. She¡¯s been behind you for a long time.¡± Hearing the sweet voice, Lorne felt a chill on his back. He turned his head abruptly. A girl in a black dress, with a clear and flawless appearance, looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, stared straight at Lorne. The black-dressed girl¡¯s face was cold and she was the first to speak. ¡°You¡¯re not bad looking! Since you¡¯ve opened the restriction, then you¡¯re qualified to be our master.¡± Then, she waved at the girl in white and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Sister. We can go out now.¡± Hearing her sister¡¯s words, the little girl jumped up excitedly and instantly went to her sister¡¯s side. She said happily, ¡°Really, Sister? We don¡¯t have to stay in this boring place anymore?¡± The girl in black patted her head dotingly and said, ¡°Yes, we can go out with this person in front of us.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Lorne stood by the side and did not say anything. Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in his ears. [ Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully awakening the Twin Elves. ] [ Reward: 10 portions of Moon Essence, 10 consolidating spirit pills. ] [ Reward: 200 experience points, 50 fetters. ] Lorne finally let out a sigh of relief. At this moment, he finally succeeded in awakening.. Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation While Lorne was thinking about how to leave this spiritual world¡­ ¡°Focus and meditate on your magic lamp. Don¡¯t open it!¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s voice rang out. Lorne obediently closed his eyes. He saw a magic lamp lit up high, illuminating the path ahead. Lorne understood that walking out of this path was considered a true awakening. In the darkness, two girls followed Lorne closely. The older sister was cold and aloof while the younger sister was lively and active. ¡®What a completely different personality.¡¯ Lorne could not help but be curious when he thought of this. ¡®Other people only have one elf when they awaken, so why would mine be a pair of sisters?¡¯ Sensing Lorne¡¯s gaze, the older sister said, ¡°We¡¯re twins, one light and one dark. My ability is of the dark element, which is mainly strange and murderous. My sister is light. It¡¯s mainly purifying and healing.¡± Lorne turned around and asked as he walked, ¡°Do you have names?¡± ¡°My name is Dina. My sister is Nita.¡± Lorne looked at the two of them carefully and tried to move his head. Suddenly, a brand new interface appeared in front of him. [ Companion elf: Twin Elf ] [ Level: 0] [ Dark Elf Ability: Latent Shadow LVL 1 (can hide in the shadows, silently waiting for an opportunity to strike), restraint LVL 1 (can temporarily restrain the movement of the enemy. Restraint time is related to the target¡¯s strength.)] [ Light Elf Ability: Healing LVL 1 (can effectively heal ordinary injuries), illumination LVL 1 (gives out a ray of light, illuminating the darkness with a trace of purification effect), barrier (sets up a transparent barrier, able to withstand a certain amount of damage.)] [ Experience: 200 (you can obtain experience points by completing a system mission or by killing a demon!)] [ Fetters: 50] [ Hint: Your elf can level up. Do you want to level up? If you choose to level up, you¡¯ll consume 200 experience points. ] ¡­ After reading the interface, Lorne gained some understanding of his elf. D*mn it, he did not expect his elf strength to be so comprehensive! Hiding, controlling, healing, and even having the ability to purify by touching control, his abilities were extraordinary. Lorne¡¯s eyes flickered and he asked in his heart, ¡®System, can my spirit awaken other elves?¡¯ [ This system is called the myriad realm elven system, of course, it means that the host can awaken other elves. ] Hearing the system¡¯s reply, Lorne took a deep breath and sighed. D*mn it! The rule of this world was that spirit envoys could only awaken one elf! However, he did not expect that he could have unlimited elves. He could already imagine his future elven army. Suppressing the reverie in his heart, Lorne remembered that he had something important to do. ¡°Level up!¡± Without any hesitation, Lorne directly chose to level up. [ Level up successful, fetters increased by 25. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded. [ Your elf has leveled up to level one. ] [ Elf level-up, you receive a physical strengthening (0.5 times). ] Lorne saw that the two elves¡¯ levels had risen from level zero to level-one, and their abilities had also received a level-up, correspondingly rising to level-two. In this world, the classification of elf levels was simply expressed by numbers, from level-one to nine. Lorne, who was of a higher level, did not know. The most ordinary elf was already the ceiling of an ordinary human. A novice mission actually allowed an elf to directly become a level-one. This system was quite impressive! Furthermore, after the elf had leveled up, Lorne would also received some benefits! As soon as the reward was given out, Lorne felt a warm flow in his body. His physical fitness had become much stronger. His hearing, vision, agility, reaction, and so on had all been enhanced. Without realizing it, the three of them had already reached the bottom of the magic lamp. A portal formed by a whirlpool appeared before them. Lorne knew that his consciousness was about to return to reality. After turning off the system, Lorne said to his two accompanying elves, ¡°Let¡¯s go out!¡± ¡°Mm, okay, Big Brother!¡± Nita called out sweetly and turned into a miniature version of an elf, hovering over Lorne¡¯s shoulder. Dina was still cold and silent, but in that short moment, her strength had increased by a level. She knew that it must have something to do with her master. So, she was not as cold to Lorne as she was at the beginning. She nodded slightly, turned into a shadow, and entered Lorne¡¯s body. To be precise, it was inside Lorne¡¯s shadow. Dina did not seem to like places with many people. Lorne smiled, but he thought to himself, ¡®This is good too. If others know that I awakened two elves at the same time, I¡¯m afraid that I¡¯ll be dissected and studied.¡¯ A tall tree would attract the wind. Lorne knew the cruelty of this world. Before one¡¯s strength was insufficient to protect oneself, one must hide one¡¯s trump card. After a while, it was as if a century had passed. Lorne opened his eyes and saw that the students in front of him were staring at him with widened eyes. Even the middle-aged spirit envoy, who was hosting the awakening, was looking at him with a puzzled expression. Lorne could not help but think to himself, could it be that his twin elves had been exposed? ¡°Wow, I didn¡¯t expect Lorne, who usually doesn¡¯t speak much, to actually awaken a Light Elf!¡± ¡°The purification ability of a Light Elf can expel the corrosive power of demons and can disperse demons to a great extent.¡± ¡°That¡¯s a special type of elf. In the earliest history of mankind, there was a female elf who had awakened. Later on, she was hailed as an Angel of Light by the Federation where she guarded a city!¡± ¡°I knew Lorne wasn¡¯t an ordinary person. In the future, he¡¯ll definitely soar to the skies!¡± ¡°Sigh, I wonder if it¡¯s too late for me to build a good relationship with him now.¡± The students below the podium discussed enviously. So, they knew about the elven species Lorne had awakened. During the few years of school life, there might be a special class to train the known elven species, including the known abilities and appearances, etc. The middle-aged spirit envoy said, ¡°Very good, very good!¡± Lorne nodded. He did not feel proud just because of this. Although Light Elves were very rare, it was not as if no one had awakened them in the past hundred years. However, why was there only one who was known as the Angel of Light? There would always be danger when one grew up. Only when one was truly strong would one be qualified to be proud! Lorne felt a subtle fluctuation from the shadow under his feet. He was actually relieved. Fortunately, Dina did not come out. Otherwise, he would have become famous. It did not mean it was good being famous as it was often accompanied by hidden dangers. Then, Lorne walked down the podium under the envious gazes of the crowd. The awakening was still ongoing. This time, a total of eight classes were awakening. However, it was almost the end.. Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation More than ten minutes had passed in the classroom. Including Lorne, only eleven students had successfully awakened their elves. The remaining few were still trying. ¡°Ah, ah¡­ Help!¡± At this moment, a student suddenly shouted. Lorne saw that the student was screaming with his eyes closed in horror. Everyone looked over. Suddenly, the student emitted a puff of black smoke that spread out from his body. Immediately, there was an uproar. The student¡¯s scream also came to an abrupt end. ¡°Oh my God! He lost control!¡± ¡°It¡¯s over, his magic lamp is pregnant with an evil spirit!¡± ¡°What should we do? Run!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The classroom was suddenly in chaos. This was the first time most people had seen such a scene. They were so scared that their legs went weak. Some wanted to run outside. Then, something even more exciting happened. After losing control, the black smoke lingered all over the person¡¯s body. His eyes became empty, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then, he reached out and grabbed the nearest ordinary student. He opened his mouth and was about to bite the student¡¯s neck. The student resisted with all his might, wriggling in fear. ¡°It¡¯s over. He¡¯s been possessed by the demon.¡± ¡°Run!¡± For a moment, the classroom became even more chaotic. No one noticed that when the student lost control of his awakening and began to chase after the others, the middle-aged spirit envoy stood on the podium with an indifferent expression. He was coldly looking at the chaotic scene in the classroom as if it had nothing to do with him. He did not display an intention of making a move. ¡°He¡¯s not even making a move?¡± Lorne muttered. This middle-aged man was definitely a powerful spirit envoy. Otherwise, he would not have been arranged by the school to organize the awakening ceremony. However, in the face of his student losing control of his awakening and even killing people, he did not make a move. What was he trying to do? [ Mission announcement: Dispel the newborn demon and kill it. ] [ Reward for completing the mission: 100 experience points, basic swordsmanship: 1. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded in Lorne¡¯s mind. ¡°Kill the demon that has gone out of control?¡± Lorne looked at the guy who was possessed by the demon and was chasing after the others. Then, he looked at the middle-aged man. ¡®It shouldn¡¯t be too dangerous,¡¯ Lorne thought. Such a judgment was mainly based on the middle-aged man¡¯s reaction. He was still watching the show on the podium. Perhaps he wanted to test if there was anyone in this group of students who could deal with this out-of-control demon. In comparison, there were already eleven students who had awakened. After Lorne figured it out, he rushed toward the out-of-control student without any hesitation. At the same time, Nita, the Light Elf on his shoulder, followed Lorne. Feeling the wind behind him, the student who was possessed by the demon suddenly turned his head and stared at Lorne with a pair of eyes that were not white. In the next second, he rushed toward Lorne with billowing black smoke. Seeing that he was about to get close, Lorne called out to Nita. Nita clenched her hands and a transparent barrier appeared in front of Lorne. The barrier blocked the demon¡¯s sudden attack. The person became even crazier and accelerated to hit the barrier. Not long after, the barrier shattered with a bang. However, in this short period of time, Lorne gained the best opportunity to attack. After the system¡¯s mission reward, Lorne¡¯s physical fitness had been greatly improved. Lorne took a side step and went behind the demon. He raised his fist and hit it hard on its back. Then, the demon staggered backward. This punch also directly broke the arm of the student who had lost control. ¡°He actually has a good physical fitness. It seems that not only is he talented, but he¡¯s also very hard-working. He¡¯s a good seedling.¡± The middle-aged man praised Lorne. Lorne adjusted his posture and was observing if there were any suitable weapons around when he heard Nita on his shoulder. A ray of light shot out from Nita¡¯s hand, aiming for the demon. ¡°Roar¡­¡± The student who was illuminated by the light roared in pain. The black smoke on his body seemed to have encountered something terrifying and instantly dissipated. After losing the control of the demon, the student¡¯s body returned to normal, and then he fainted. [ Mission completed. Reward: 100 experience, basic swordsmanship: 1] [ Your elf Nita has killed a newborn demon. Her ability has been strengthened. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m a little tired.¡± As Nita had just awakened, she had used up a lot of power killing the demon. She flew to Lorne¡¯s shoulder, lay down, and closed her eyes to rest. ¡°Quiet! The demon has been killed.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s voice finally sounded. All students stared at Lorne with wide eyes. Their eyes were filled with disbelief. ¡°Not bad, you¡¯re very outstanding!¡± The middle-aged man looked at Lorne and did not hide his surprise and praise. ¡°The higher the level of an elf, the more powerful the spirit envoy can be. The first time you awaken, your elf can destroy a demon. You can even use the purification ability. This is very rare. This is enough to show how outstanding you are.¡± In the classroom, the other students looked at Lorne with surprise, envy, and jealousy. ¡°But what is even more rare is your courage! In comparison, the performance of the others has disappointed me to the core! ¡°It¡¯s just a newborn demon and not the grown demons found outside. If you go to the battlefield like this, you¡¯ll be deserters!¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s voice suddenly became stern as he mercilessly criticized the other ten who had successfully awakened. The few students immediately felt ashamed. ¡°If you guys worked together in the beginning, you could¡¯ve completely subdued it. However, other than him, you only know how to run around aimlessly. This batch of awakened is really too shameful!¡± The middle-aged man looked around and said sternly. The ten awakened lowered their heads even more. However, this was the first time they had actually seen a demon. Such incidents of losing control of the awakening did not happen every time. After the middle-aged man finished reprimanding them, his tone softened, ¡°From today onward, all of you will no longer be flowers in the school, but official spirit envoys. Go back and rest for a day. Report to the outer city the day after tomorrow. You¡¯ll learn how to deal with demons in your abilities. If you want to become stronger, you can only continue to grow through constant combat and training! Alright, today¡¯s awakening ceremony has been completed. It¡¯s over!¡± The middle-aged man took one last look at Lorne, then strode out of the classroom. Once the middle-aged man left, a few people in uniforms walked in from outside the classroom and carried the fainted student away. What happened today had a huge impact on these students who had just turned fifteen. After the awakening ceremony, many people¡¯s fates were about to go their separate ways. Out of more than 50 students, only 11 had successfully awakened their companion elves and become spirit envoys. The remaining ones would either choose to become ordinary people or spend a huge amount of money to obtain a magic lamp to see if they would be lucky enough to successfully awaken one year later.. Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Brother Lorne, you¡¯re amazing!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Brother Lorne to hide so well. You must bring us along when you go to the outer city.¡± ¡°¡­¡± After the middle-aged man left, a few students who had become spirit envoys immediately surrounded him and tried to curry favor with him. As for the other students, regardless of their previous relationship, their identities were different now. The gap between them would only grow larger and larger. As for Lorne, he was in no mood to listen to their flattery. He left the classroom and returned to the school dormitory. After returning to the dormitory, Lorne first observed Nita. He found that she was just a little tired and needed to rest, so he did not disturb her. Instead, he spread her on his palm and placed her in a small basket. Lorne thought of the system reward for today, and with a thought, he opened the system storage. [ Moon essence: 10, consolidating spirit pill: 10, basic swordsmanship: 1 ] He took a closer look at the effects. [ Moon essence: the moon yin energy is pure and can produce essence items. It can increase the user¡¯s physique and mental strength. It¡¯s the elf¡¯s favorite spirit item. ] [ Consolidating spirit pill: one can increase the spiritual strength of three months of hard work. ] [ Basic swordsmanship: a strong swordsmanship must have a solid foundation. ] After reading it, Lorne had a deeper understanding. With a thought, a brown pill appeared in his hand. ¡°This is a consolidating spirit pill?¡± Lorne raised his hand, opened his mouth, and swallowed it. In an instant, Lorne felt as if his entire body was wrapped by a faint aura. It slowly seeped into his limbs and bones, and traveled through his entire body. Lorne blinked, suddenly brandishing his fist. A series of air-piercing sounds could be heard. ¡°I feel that my breathing is much smoother, my body is lighter, and even my strength has improved quite a bit!¡± Lorne felt the changes in his body and he was pleasantly surprised. As expected of a spiritual medicine that could directly increase his bitter cultivation by three months! Then, he opened the swordsmanship to learn. This time, he did not materialize anything. Only a flash of light flashed through his mind. Then, this swordsmanship surged into his brain as if he had been enlightened. All kinds of basic techniques and experiences related to swordsmanship had been thoroughly mastered by Lorne. It was as if he had practiced it for decades. ¡°It¡¯s amazing. With this swordsmanship, the demon that lost control today wouldn¡¯t be my match. Now, I¡¯m only missing a sword.¡± Lorne also drank a portion of the remaining moon essence. It did not make much of a difference to his physique. He felt that his spiritual power seemed to have become more solid and his attention had become more focused. After thinking for a moment, Lorne called out. ¡°Dina, Dina,¡± Lorne called out a few times. However, Dina, who was hiding in the shadows, did not react at all. ¡°How cold.¡± Lorne rubbed his nose. Just as he was about to give up, Dina, who was dressed in a black dress, appeared. She looked at Lorne with an indifferent expression. Lorne smiled and did not care. He flipped his hand open and started talking. ¡°This thing doesn¡¯t seem to be of much use to me. I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± In fact, after being upgraded twice by the system and having increased his strength by quite a bit, Lorne had tried the effect of the moon essence just now. It was indeed not of much use to him. However, it was different for elves. Dina¡¯s delicate nose twitched slightly. She smelled the aura of the moon essence in Lorne¡¯s hand and her eyes moved slightly. Her cold face finally showed a change of expression. ¡°This is¡­¡± The moon essence was very rare even among elves. It could not be seen or touched, and could only be collected with a special carrier and method. This essence could not only strengthen the elves, but also increase their potential! With just a sniff, Dina knew that this thing was the real essence of the moon. Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Dina felt that she had made the right choice for the first time. ¡°This is a very rare spiritual object. Are you sure you want to give it to me?¡± Lorne smiled and said, ¡°What are you talking about? You¡¯re my companion elf. You can protect me better when you¡¯re stronger. Why shouldn¡¯t I give it to you?¡± After saying that, he put the remaining nine moon essence on the table. ¡°I¡¯ll leave this to you. When Nita wakes up, you can distribute it among yourselves.¡± After saying that, he left Nita, who was sound asleep, and Dina, who was stunned, to go out. Right now, he was going out to buy a sharp sword. He had accumulated quite a lot of savings over the years, so he could go out and make a good selection. After leaving the house. [ You and Dina have been communicating for ten minutes. Experience +10, connection +1] [ You have gifted Dina the essence of the moon. Connection +20] At this moment, the system¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. Lorne smiled. How could such daily communication be for nothing? Lorne had previously understood that there were cases of accompanying elves betraying their masters. Elves were born strong and possessed extremely high intelligence. How could an ordinary person control an elf that was several times stronger than himself? The higher the bond between the master and the elf, the higher the level of cooperation and strength between the two would be. This was also a complementary phenomenon. It seemed that the daily communication and interaction could also increase the bond and experience points. ¡°I have to chat with them more in the future.¡± Lorne smiled, left the school, and walked toward the blacksmith shop. After the city had been rebuilt and planned, the city was divided into two areas ¨C the outer city and the inner city. The outer city was mainly at the edge of the city, and the market was in crisis. There were guards stationed there to defend against the demons, and most of them were spirit envoys. There were also a few ordinary humans who were responsible for the guards¡¯ food, clothing, and transportation. As for the inner city, it was a peaceful scene, with all the commerce and the basic structure of the city. An hour later, Lorne had arrived at Southwest Port. It was a bazaar selling all kinds of goods. While he was walking in the middle of the street and interspersed with the crowd, a middle-aged man¡¯s pleading voice interrupted Lorne¡¯s reverie. ¡°Lord spirit envoy, our family has been an honest merchant in this market for more than ten years. Please be magnanimous and let my daughter off.¡± Lorne looked over. In a store that sold iron ore, a hunched middle-aged man was kneeling in front of a young man with bloodshot eyes, pleading bitterly. At this moment, the system sounded. [ Extraterrestrial meteorite detected. Rare quality.. It¡¯s the best material for weapons! ] Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [ Extraterrestrial meteorites detected. Rare quality. The best material to forge weapons! ] [ Mission: Collect extraterrestrial meteorites. ] ¡°Iron shop? Extraterrestrial meteorites?¡± Lorne murmured and glanced at the iron shop before walking in. Then, Lorne locked his eyes on a pile of messy iron stones in the shop. There was an inconspicuous black iron stone with potholes on its surface, which was thrown everywhere. It seemed to have been treated as a waste by its owner. ¡°Kid, who are you? Can¡¯t you see that my young master is in the middle of something?¡± A handyman shouted at Lorne. Lorne did not respond. He walked to the pile of junk and pointed at a pile of ores. ¡°Shopkeeper, I want all of these ores. How much are they?¡± The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man kneeling at the feet of the young man. At this moment, he was trembling and did not dare to speak. ¡°Big Brother, my father said that the pile of ore is all waste. It¡¯s not worth much.¡± A seven or eight-year-old girl said softly. Lorne looked at the girl. The girl¡¯s big eyes were pure and innocent. ¡°Oh, but I want to buy this pile of useless stones.¡± The girl did not understand but she still said, ¡°If Big Brother wants it, then I¡¯ll give it to Big Brother.¡± Lorne looked at the innocent little girl in front of him and smiled. He walked up and patted her head. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Big Brother, my name is Nan Nan.¡± ¡°Nan Nan, I won¡¯t take your things for free. I can help you fulfill a wish. What do you want?¡± The little girl looked at Lorne with her clear eyes and then at her father. She did not speak as if she was afraid of getting Lorne into trouble. Lorne understood. This world was cruel. If the people at the bottom could not become spirit envoys, they would be bullied by the people at the top for the rest of their lives. Spirit envoys were also divided into the strong and the weak. Some strong ones preyed on the weak. Originally, Lorne was not going to meddle in other people¡¯s business, but he had taken someone else¡¯s iron ore, and it was the extraterrestrial meteorite that he needed. So, what if he had meddled into other people¡¯s business? After he figured it out, his mind was clear. Lorne turned to look at the shopkeeper and said, ¡°No matter what grudges you had in the past, I¡¯ll protect this shop now.¡± The young man frowned slightly. When he saw Lorne wearing the academy¡¯s uniform, he could not figure out Lorne¡¯s background. It would be fine if he was an ordinary person, but it would be different if he was a spirit envoy who had successfully awakened. Spirit envoys were rare and every spirit envoy was protected by the city-state government. Even if the young man had an extraordinary identity, he could not act recklessly. Moreover, fighting was prohibited in the inner city. Of course, the prohibition was only limited to people above spirit envoys. There were no rules for ordinary people. It would not be a problem for any youth to bully peddlers, not to mention that his family was there. Previously, his servant had shouted at Lorne because he was just testing him. Now that he detected Lorne¡¯s aura, it did not seem to be ordinary. He was definitely a spirit envoy with a noble identity and his background was probably not to be messed with either. In an instant, the young man who had a tyrannical expression just a moment ago, immediately became calm. He laughed and said, ¡°May I know your name, friend? I¡¯m Jiang Qing. My father is the city¡¯s Eastern Commandant.¡± The city¡¯s Eastern Commandant seemed to be surnamed Jiang. Lorne did not know his exact name. This person¡¯s background was indeed not ordinary. No wonder he was incomparably arrogant in the city. The city¡¯s Eastern Commandant¡¯s official position was roughly equal to the power of his previous world¡¯s City Public Security Bureau Chief. The first person to awaken in the classroom today was Li Chong, the son of the city¡¯s Southern Commandant. His family¡¯s power was not ordinary and he was only second to the city lord. Lorne remained calm. So what if the young man was the son of the commandant? Lorne had already become a spirit envoy and the identity of his elf had probably been spread to the ears of the various major factions. Right now, Lorne had no sect or faction. In the world of spirit envoys, the various major factions were complicated. To the other factions, he was now a popular person, and ordinary people would not offend him. Of course, Lorne could not just shoot his mouth off. Seeing that the young man had changed his attitude, Lorne also introduced himself. Jiang Qing seemed to understand that Lorne was going to meddle in this matter. He weighed it in his heart and came up with an idea. He smiled and said, ¡°So it¡¯s Brother Lorne. It¡¯s like a flood has washed over the Dragon King Temple. Strictly speaking, we¡¯re still senior and junior brothers.¡± As long as they were spirit envoys from city-states, they were basically graduates of the Spirit Academy. What he said was also true. Then, he said again, ¡°Since junior brother is interested in this shop, then I¡¯ll be magnanimous and let them go. I won¡¯t be staying for long. Goodbye.¡± After saying that, the young man turned around and left, followed closely by the servant beside him. Lorne, who was behind him, watched his back as he left and thought to himself, ¡®Jiang Qing isn¡¯t simple. His thoughts are capricious. If I encounter him in the future, I must be careful.¡¯ Jiang Qing¡¯s father was a commandant and he was also a spirit envoy. Jiang Qing did not have to back down, but he still chose to leave calmly. He was not a good person as a good person would not bully the weak. He was the type of person who would devour others and not spit out their bones. [ Mission completed. Reward: 200 experience points, cloud treading movement: 1.] Lorne immediately learned the movement technique and was enlightened. ¡°Lord Spirit Envoy, I cannot repay your great kindness. Please accept my bow!¡± The middle-aged man stood up and bowed to Lorne to express his gratitude. Lorne waved his hand and did not care. He said softly, ¡°There¡¯s no need to thank me. You¡¯ve already paid me.¡± As he spoke, he looked at the pile of abandoned ores in the corner and said, ¡°Wrap that pile of ores for me.¡± The middle-aged man did not know that the pile of ores contained rare extraterrestrial meteorites. He only thought that Lorne did not want him to owe him a favor. By the way, how could an ordinary person like him repay him? Instead, it was the little girl, Nan Nan, who said, ¡°Big Brother, are you a spirit envoy from the Spirit Academy? I¡¯m going to study there next year.¡± Looking at the cute little girl, Lorne smiled and said, ¡°Is that so? You have to work hard on that, little girl. It¡¯s very hard to awaken.¡± After obtaining the extraterrestrial meteorite, Lorne was prepared to go to the city¡¯s famous blacksmith to make the sword he wanted. At that moment, the middle-aged man suddenly said, ¡°Lord Spirit Envoy, you¡¯re preparing to forge a weapon, right?¡± Lorne glanced at the man and nodded slightly. The middle-aged man lowered his head and continued. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so knowledgeable despite your young age. I deliberately threw this meteorite into the waste rock so as not to attract the attention of others.¡± Lorne did not expect him to know about it long ago. He also knew that it was an extraterrestrial meteorite. However, it was a disaster for an ordinary person to obtain such a treasure. This man understood it very well. ¡°Three generations of blacksmiths were born in my family. I¡¯m afraid that ordinary blacksmiths wouldn¡¯t be able to melt this meteorite. If you trust me, I¡¯m willing to devote all my efforts to forge it for you!¡± After saying this, the middle-aged man looked at Lorne with an indescribable gaze as if he was extremely eager to forge this meteorite.. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne pondered for a moment and smiled. ¡°That¡¯s great. You don¡¯t have to keep calling me sir. I¡¯m fated to be with Nan Nan, so you can call me Lorne.¡± As he spoke, he took out two consolidating spirit pills that the system had rewarded him with and handed them to the middle-aged man. ¡°I won¡¯t take advantage of you. This is my reward for you.¡± Seeing that the middle-aged man was about to refuse, Lorne said, ¡°This pill can increase spiritual power. If an ordinary person eats it, it can also prolong their life. Of course, it has a greater effect on spirit envoys.¡± After saying that, he looked at Nan Nan and smiled. Then, he stopped and did not say anything more. He told the shopkeeper about the sword he wanted to forge and left. Seeing that Lorne had made up his mind, the middle-aged man did not say anything more. He just silently decided in his heart that the spirit pills must be given to Nan Nan. The weapon Lorne wanted to forge was similar to the Tang blade from his previous life. It had a narrow and straight blade, and the tip of the sword was slanted, with only one blade open. The Tang blade¡¯s hilt was long and it could be held with both hands. This way, it could release power of several-folds. The middle-aged man had never seen such a design and he was also amazed. Then, Lorne opened the system and learned the cloud treading movement technique that the system had rewarded. Lorne naturally wanted to test what he had learned so he immediately activated it. In the eyes of outsiders, Lorne clearly looked like he was strolling leisurely, but in that instant, he had already disappeared. Lorne did not know that at a corner of the street, a figure quietly stared at his disappearing back and said in a low voice, ¡°A Light Elf and a movement-type combat technique that I don¡¯t know where he had learned from. Interesting!¡± If Lorne was here, he would definitely recognize this young man named Jiang Qing. ¡°Young master, do you need me to test him?¡± The servant beside Lorne asked arrogantly. ¡°Father only asked me to get to know this person. I didn¡¯t expect to meet him so quickly. There¡¯s no need to do unnecessary things. When we reach the outer city, there will be plenty of opportunities.¡± He did not expect that in just two hours, Lorne¡¯s identity would be noticed by the upper echelons of Jiang City. ¡­ Lorne returned to his bedroom and glanced at Nita, who was still sleeping soundly, and Dina, who was hiding somewhere. He smiled and lay on his bed. He would be going to the outer city in two days. He would finally be able to see the other side of the world. He was curious of what it would be like. He looked at the ceiling and fell asleep as he thought about it. After he woke up the next day, Lorne went out. He brought along the elves, Nita and Dina, who was hiding in the shadows. Lorne would rarely have the chance to return to school after arriving at the outer city. Therefore, Lorne wanted to walk around the school. Along the way, he met some of his classmates. Some of them were discussing yesterday¡¯s awakening. ¡°There were several thousand students in a dozen classes yesterday, but in the end, only around 300 spirit envoys were born.¡± ¡°There were also a dozen who lost control and dozens of people died.¡± ¡°Is that so? The third class next to mine also lost control, but it wasn¡¯t the teacher who took care of it. Guess who took care of it?¡± ¡°Who?¡± ¡°A student named Lorne. I heard that he just awakened. How is he? Isn¡¯t he amazing?¡± ¡°Wow, this is indeed amazing!¡± ¡°If only I could be this amazing when I awaken in the future.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Many students recognized him and many of them looked over. ¡°Lorne, congratulations! After becoming a spirit envoy, you have to take care of us.¡± ¡°Hello, student Lorne. This is my contact information. I¡¯m free at any time¡­¡± ¡°Student Lorne, you¡¯re so strong. Can you share with me your secret?¡± ¡­ Many students knew that he had solved the problem of the out-of-control demon yesterday. He had become a celebrity in this school. However, Lorne did not care about staying. He only nodded when he met people who greeted him. He was going to the outer city the next day. He did not know how the situation was, so he was not in the mood to talk about meaningless things with others. ¡°You took the twin elves for an hour walk. Experience +5, Fetters +1.¡± When Lorne walked around and returned to his dorm, he heard the system¡¯s voice again. Sure enough, as long as he brought the two of them to do something, he could earn experience points. Thus, Lorne used the rest of the day to earn a few dozen experience points. ¡­ The next morning, Lorne heard the system¡¯s voice when he got up. [ New mission: Head to the outer city and become an official spirit envoy. Reward: 50 experience points, Elven potential +1. ] ¡°Let¡¯s go to the outer city.¡± Lorne packed his things and arrived at the school gate. There were already dozens of students at the gate. These were the students who had successfully awakened the elves in the school yesterday. ¡°Look, he¡¯s Lorne.¡± Lorne was still far away, but he was recognized by the dozens of students. Apparently, the students knew that Lorne had solved the problem of the runaway demon. Everyone looked at Lorne with surprise and admiration. A shabby bus drove over. ¡°Get on the bus.¡± On the bus, a man covered in a cloak said in a hoarse voice. The students all got on the bus. On the bus, Lorne sat in his seat and looked outside silently. ¡°He¡¯s Lorne, who has just awakened and purified a demonic cone.¡± Some students looked at Lorne. Some of them wanted to build a good relationship with him because the potential that Lorne had shown now was very likely to become an extremely powerful spirit envoy in the future! The bus swayed as it drove toward the outer city. This was everyone¡¯s first time going to the outer city. ¡°I heard that the outer city is filled with demons. If we¡¯re not careful, we¡¯ll become food for them.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we basically won¡¯t encounter any powerful demons now. There¡¯s a group of powerful spirit envoys guarding the outer city. We¡¯re just training.¡± Before this, everyone had spent most of their time in school. The others were still living in peace in the inner city. Even though they heard that the outer city was filled with danger, they still subconsciously felt safe. However, was that really the case? ¡°In this era filled with danger, there¡¯s no time to wait for me to grow up slowly!¡± Lorne scoffed at the rest¡¯s relaxed mentality. After driving for more than an hour, a tall city wall appeared in Lorne¡¯s field of vision. When they arrived at the city gate, two men with long spears and weapons stopped the bus. The man covered in a cloak took out a document with a seal and showed it to the two guards. After a while, the guards let them through. ¡°Open the city gate.¡± The city gate slowly opened and the bus drove over. Lorne saw similar buses coming from other directions. Most of the buses were 15-year-old students. These were students from other classes who had awakened the elves. There were also students from several other schools in the city who had awakened this year. All of them had gathered in the outer city to participate in a training.. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation There were also many people guarding the city gate. Lorne also saw some people in cloaks who looked like spirit envoys. After he entered the city gate, Lorne realized that the city wall was surrounded by a huge mountain. After more than ten seconds, the bus finally drove out of the hole in the wall. The front suddenly became gray as if it was covered by dark clouds. There was no sunlight at all. ¡°Wow, look.¡± At this moment, a student pointed at the back of the bus and shouted. Lorne looked in the direction the student had pointed and was immediately surprised. That city wall, on this side of the outer city, was shockingly golden in color! It was twenty meters tall with an unknown length. It looked exceptionally spectacular. Even though the sky of the outer city was so gray that one could not see the direction clearly, this golden city wall still looked quite eye-catching! Looking at it from a distance, it was as dazzling as a lighthouse. ¡°Golden wall! This is the legendary golden wall! There¡¯s a layer of gold attached to it with spiritual energy, which can prevent demons from passing through the city wall!¡± Some students who knew shouted. ¡°Gold¡­¡± Lorne whispered. The reason why the city wall was golden was because there was a layer of gold on the surface of the city wall. According to the records in the school library, gold could prevent demons from passing through and it was also an important method used by the base city to ensure that the inner city would not be infiltrated by demons. This golden wall was even more incredible. Not only was it all made of gold, but the powerhouses outside the city would also pour a large amount of spiritual energy into it every month. The Golden Wall was a defensive method that the human race had spent a lot of effort to research and develop. It was enough to defend against high-level demons. On the city wall, there were some golden runes that appeared and disappeared from time to time. It was extremely mysterious. There were also some black shadows floating in the air. There were four or five of them. ¡°They¡¯re spirit souls. They won¡¯t attack humans. They¡¯re creatures that don¡¯t have corporeal bodies.¡± ¡°I remember that the school teacher mentioned that this thing can only be seen in the outer city. It seems to be a creature in a spirit state, but I don¡¯t know what it¡¯s formed from.¡± When the students saw these spirit souls, they were both surprised and afraid. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. These spirits don¡¯t have consciousness and will only move in a fixed area. As long as they don¡¯t lose control, you¡¯re not allowed to attack them, understand?¡± The cloaked man said sternly. The students nodded one after another ¡°So many spirit souls,¡± another student said. After exiting the city wall, there was a large square. In this square, many spirit souls could already be seen wandering around. Other than spirit souls, there were also some humans moving around inside. Most of these were middle-aged ordinary people, not spirit envoys. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect such a scene to happen in the outer city,¡± Lorne muttered. With the protection of this array, the inner city could be said to be very safe. Other than those with high positions and power such as the upper class of Jiang City who were qualified to live in the inner city, there were children who had the qualifications to become spirit envoys. For example, Lorne and the others had lived in the inner city before. However, if they failed to awaken the magic lamp at the age of fifteen, they would be assigned to hard work or driven out of the inner city. In the future, unless their children became spirit envoys and were the more powerful ones, otherwise, they would not have the chance to live in the inner city in this lifetime. For people like Lorne and the others who had successfully awakened the magic lamp and the elves, they would automatically obtain permanent residence in the inner city. However, before that, they had to go to the edge of the outer city to carry out a training mission for a period of time. After all, the city-state gave one such treatment so that one could use one¡¯s strength to protect the city. If one did not have strength and were useless, how could one get preferential treatment? The bus continued to drive and soon, it drove out of the square and into a shabby street. On the street, there were also some floating spirits. There were even some in the houses on both sides of the street. The existence of these spirits made the street gloomy. There were many people on the street, most of whom were ordinary people, aged over 40. From time to time, one or two spirit envoys could be seen. ¡®The fertility of people over the age of 40 has decreased. If the children born don¡¯t become spirit envoys, do they have to come to the outer city to work in order to live?¡¯ Lorne thought silently. At this time, the bus slowly drove out of the outer city area. The bus drove through the long street and finally arrived at its destination. Separated by a towering city wall that was three to four hundred meters tall, beyond the city wall was the outpost of Jiang City. There was a total of thirty-seven such outposts around Jiang City. This time, Lorne and the others were assigned to Outpost No. 13. At that moment, the bus stopped in a huge open space. The ground here looked a little shabby and weathered. There were even many cracks and depressions as far as the eye could see. It seemed that no one had repaired it for many years. ¡°Get off the bus,¡± the cloaked man said as the door opened. Dozens of students got off the bus one after another. Behind them, some buses also drove over one after another. A large number of students got off the buses. After everyone got off the buses, the reception staff who had been waiting for a long time called them over. Then, they walked toward a residential area in front. ¡­ [ Mission completed. Obtained 50 experience points. Potential +1. ] The system¡¯s voice sounded. Mission completed! More than 300 students gathered and started chatting. ¡°I¡¯m so nervous! I¡¯ve never been to an area outside of the outer city. I heard that it¡¯s full of demons. Isn¡¯t that too scary?!¡± ¡°Who did you hear it from? Do you think those spirit envoys who clean up the demons at the outpost day and night are useless? Why do we have to go to the outpost? Isn¡¯t it to clean up the demons close to Jiang City?¡± ¡°When I was young, I followed my father to the outpost once. The environment there was actually not bad, but there were very few people and it was a little empty. At night, we could hear all kinds of wails and howls outside. It was really scary!¡± ¡°Oh right! Did you guys hear? There was a fierce person in Class Six who tore apart a student who had lost control of his awakening and was possessed by a demon the moment he woke up. It was really awesome!¡± ¡°I heard that his name is Lorne, but the one who could tear apart an ordinary demon with his bare hands should be a high-level elf, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure, but even if he¡¯s not an intermediate-level elf, he must be the strongest elf among the ordinary-level elves!¡± ¡°Haha! You guys don¡¯t know, right? I¡¯m from Class Six. I was there at the scene!¡± ¡°You¡¯re from Class Six? Does that mean that Lorne from your class is also here with us?¡± ¡°Where is he?¡± ¡°Shh! be quiet. Lorne is resting at the back. Don¡¯t disturb him.¡± The boy who spoke quietly pointed to the back. In the back of the crowd stood a handsome yet masculine boy. He was crossing his arms and looking straight ahead. ¡°He¡¯s Lorne!¡± The person who spoke deliberately lowered his voice and stared at Lorne without blinking as if he was looking at a rare treasure.. Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In fact, Lorne had already heard their conversation. These people were so excited and spoke so loudly. How could he not hear them? He just could not be bothered with them. ¡°But I heard that someone in Class One also awakened a high-level elf and it seems like there are two of them!¡± ¡°No way? There are a lot of geniuses in our class this year!¡± ¡°I heard that there are a few in Class Two as well. A pair of twins awakened a high-level elf at the same time, and the two of them worked together to kill the ordinary demons that the teacher used as baits!¡± ¡°There are indeed a lot of geniuses in our class this year. Last year, I remembered that there were only six ordinary-level spirit envoys who awakened in the entire Jiang City, right?¡± ¡°Exactly! Just from what I heard this year, there are already more than ten of them!¡± ¡°There are so many geniuses, it¡¯s even harder for those of us with average talent to get ahead.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. Besides, there¡¯s a gap between geniuses. Lorne¡¯s elf tore apart ordinary-grade demons with one move. The others either joined hands to defeat them or it was just a draw. There¡¯s still a gap!¡± ¡°Of course! Lorne is my classmate!¡± ¡°Haha! Look at how awesome you are. Those who don¡¯t know would think you¡¯re Lorne!¡± ¡­ Listening to the whispers of the boys in front, Lorne secretly memorized some useful information. ¡°Quiet!¡± At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded. Lorne looked. It was a middle-aged man dressed in tight clothes. He was tall and sturdy, and he was facing Lorne with a powerful oppressive aura. The moment he appeared, all the students immediately shut their mouths. The middle-aged man¡¯s gaze swept over the three hundred students. When he saw Lorne, his gaze paused slightly on Lorne before moving away. ¡°From now on, all of you will be official spirit envoys. Within these three months, we¡¯ll give you some guidance. Now, everyone will come to collect their identity and communication cards. Go over there and register, then we¡¯ll assign you a place to stay,¡± the middle-aged man said. The senior who was responsible for receiving the newcomers brought them to the registration area. Then, he walked to the side with the other spirit envoys and looked at the newcomers with a smile. ¡°I heard that every year when the rookies come, these veteran spirit envoys will prepare a special welcome ceremony for the rookies. Do you think they have any bad ideas this year?¡± Many of the rookies who were stared at by this group of veteran spirit envoys could not help but feel a little uneasy. ¡°Be careful. I heard that some spirit envoys are quite perverted,¡± someone whispered. At this time, Lorne did not participate in their discussion. Instead, he went to the registration area with a few rookies and queued up to register. Soon, it was Lorne¡¯s turn. The person in charge of the level was a female spirit envoy who wore heavy makeup. She looked up at Lorne, sized him up slightly, and said indifferently, ¡°Hand me your identity card.¡± Lorne handed his identity card to her. Whoosh! The identity card was swiped on a machine, and Lorne¡¯s basic information appeared on the screen. ¡°Oh, a little genius.¡± The female spirit envoy smiled and glanced at Lorne, her gaze more or less harboring evil intentions. Lorne secretly frowned. His intuition told him that this was not with good intentions. At this moment, the female spirit envoy in front of him tapped on the keyboard a few times, then returned the ID card to Lorne and said, ¡°Room 0231. Little Brother, don¡¯t say that I didn¡¯t warn you, there¡¯s a surprise waiting for you there!¡± Lorne took his ID card, nodded at the woman, and then turned to leave. ¡°Heh, you¡¯re quite calm.¡± The female spirit envoy smiled. Lorne followed the room number to a small building. In front of him was a three-story villa with a front and back garden. It was much better than the residences of the other rookies Lorne had seen before. ¡®Other people¡¯s houses are bungalows or ordinary buildings, but mine is a villa. I have no background and no connections. Why did I get such a good residence? Unless there¡¯s something wrong with it,¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. Since he was already here, Lorne was not afraid at all. Instead, he directly pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the villa. ¡°He actually walked in without much observation.¡± ¡°This newbie has quite the guts. He clearly knows that there¡¯s a trap, yet he still dares to barge in!¡± ¡°Heh, he¡¯s a genius. Naturally, he has his pride.¡± ¡°Tsk, genius? No matter how talented he is, he¡¯s still a newbie. Don¡¯t forget how pathetic you were when you first arrived!¡± ¡°How long do you think this newbie can last?¡± ¡°My guess is at least four to five minutes. After all, he¡¯s this year¡¯s rookie king.¡± ¡°I bet 10 contribution points that he can last for five minutes. Who¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Five minutes? I don¡¯t believe you.¡± ¡°You guys have no confidence in this year¡¯s rookie king? What if he can last for more than ten minutes?¡± ¡°What are you thinking about? That¡¯s a level-3 demon locked in there. I admit that this rookie¡¯s performance isn¡¯t bad, but he¡¯s still too inexperienced to face a real level-2 demon!¡± ¡­ A group of veteran spirit envoys outside had already started a small bet. The villa was unconsciously surrounded by people. Even some of the nearby houses had people looking over from the balcony. Some of the newcomers who had heard the news also heard the discussions of these people, and they all looked angry. ¡°This is too abominable! These guys actually locked up demons in our residence!¡± ¡°No way? This is a welcoming ceremony? It¡¯s a death ceremony!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare to enter my house anymore!¡± ¡°I knew it, these veterans have bad intentions!¡± ¡°They actually used the time Lorne went in to start a gamble!¡± ¡°Heh, who asked him to be the new rookie king! It¡¯s normal for him to be noticed by others!¡± Some people felt indignant for Lorne, but there were also people who spoke sarcastically. No matter what these people thought of this matter, no one stood out to stop anything. Although the new people were indignant, they did not dare to stand out and criticize. At this moment, Lorne had entered the living room on the first floor of the villa. He had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth as he looked at the sudden change in front of him. The originally modern living room had turned into a dilapidated old house the moment he entered. Lorne knew that this was an illusion set up by demons. Only demons above level-2 had the ability to set up illusions and confuse people. Ordinary demons did not have special abilities.. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Whoosh! Nita ran out of the magic lamp¡¯s space without Lorne calling her. As soon as Nita appeared, a warm ball of light lit up, illuminating the surroundings. The next moment, a black fog appeared, condensing into a terrifying demon that was as black as ink. It had two horns on its head and a pair of red eyes. It was staring at Lorne with a cold gaze. ¡°A real demon. I didn¡¯t expect to meet it so soon.¡± Lorne sized up the demon with interest. The one he had dealt with at school was strictly a demon spirit. It was just a demon cone and did not pose much of a threat. The demon in front of him was a real demon and a level-2 at that. However, Lorne was not afraid. On one hand, Nita¡¯s aura of light protected him and the demon¡¯s illusion could not affect him. On the other hand, Lorne was confident in Nita¡¯s strength. This type of demon did not have strong physical strength, but it was strong in illusions. If Lorne was an ordinary spirit envoy, the demon would probably be a big threat. However, Lorne¡¯s elf had leveled up to level-1 on the first try, and Nita¡¯s light attribute had a natural suppression over this type of demon. There was also Nita¡¯s sister hiding in the dark. It would not be a big problem for the two sisters to cooperate to kill a level-2 demon. Moreover, this was an outpost. There were definitely countless pairs of eyes watching this place from the outside. Although those veteran spirit envoys liked to show off to the newcomers, they would never really kill anyone. Therefore, even if Lorne was no match for this demon, someone would still appear in time to save him. They would not really let him die at the demon¡¯s hands. ¡°I¡¯m afraid I¡¯ll have to disappoint you this time. Nita, kill it,¡± Lorne said faintly. When Nita heard that, a low growl sounded. Instantly, a halo spread under her feet and spread to every corner of the room. As the halo spread, the entire illusion in front of her distorted as if it was being torn apart. As for the pitch-black demon, it let out a howl filled with hatred and fear. However, there seemed to be a restriction in the room that prevented it from entering or leaving. With no way to retreat, the demon fiercely extended its claws and pounced forward. Swish! The elder sister, Dina, who was hiding in Lorne¡¯s shadow, instantly rushed out. Using her hand as a sword, she directly cleaved through the demon¡¯s sharp claws. With a forceful grab, she directly tore off one of the demon¡¯s arms. Roar, roar¡­ The demon immediately let out a painful roar. Even a demon could feel pain. At this moment, Nita once again used a beam of light purification. Waves of light attacks that seemed to be corporeal washed away the demon in front of her, causing its body to become much weaker. At this moment, Dina brazenly attacked, hugging the demon¡¯s head with both hands and twisting it. The demon was beheaded on the spot. [ Ding! Your elf, Dark Elf Dina, has killed a level-2 demon. Obtained 300 experience points ] Oh! Lorne¡¯s eyes lit up. A level-2 demon was actually worth 300 experience points! Amazing! Once the demon died, the illusion in front of him naturally dissipated. The living room returned to its original appearance. At this time, Nita also returned to Lorne¡¯s side. ¡°Well done, Nita, Dina.¡± Lorne praised the sisters. Nita happily circled around Lorne before returning to the space of the magic lamp. Dina nodded lightly and turned into a shadow. A moment later, she returned to the space of the magic lamp as well. ¡°I wonder when the two sisters will be able to advance to the next level.¡± The cooperation of the two elven sisters could kill a demon above their level. If they could advance again, their strength would also become stronger. At the same time, the higher their level, the higher their intelligence would be. ¡®Forget it. The two sisters have only awakened for two days. Maybe in a few days, they can level up after killing a few more demons,¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. Then, he began to tour his new residence. ¡­ ¡°Why is there still no movement? It¡¯s already been five or six minutes, right?¡± ¡°To be precise, it¡¯s six minutes and seven seconds. Yes, it¡¯s now eight seconds.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no sound at all. Do you think he¡¯ll be instantly killed if he goes in?¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. He¡¯s a rookie king after all. Moreover, his magic lamp has awakened a Light Elf, which has an attribute that suppress on ordinary demons. He should be able to last for seven or eight minutes, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say.¡± ¡°Then should we go in and take a look?¡± Just as the spirit envoys outside were hesitating whether or not to go in and take a look at the situation, a pleasant voice came from behind the crowd. ¡°That demon has been taken care of.¡± The spirit envoys all turned their heads to look. Behind them, a woman wearing a red robe was surrounded by a flame elf. ¡°It¡¯s Lord Hong!¡± ¡°Lord Hong just said that the demon was killed by that newcomer?¡± Seeing the woman in red, all the spirit envoys were filled with respect and greeted her respectfully. Lord Hong nodded and said, ¡°That¡¯s right. The demon aura in this villa has dissipated, which means that the demon has been eliminated. The newcomers these days are really amazing!¡± As she spoke, she could not help but cover her mouth and laugh twice. ¡°Interesting. Let¡¯s go in and take a look at this little genius.¡± As she spoke, the woman walked toward Lorne¡¯s villa. At this moment, a few rookies beside her asked curiously, ¡°Who is this lord?¡± The spirit envoy beside her looked at the woman¡¯s back with admiration and said, ¡°That¡¯s Jiang City¡¯s big shot, Lord Zhu Yuehong. None of you have heard of her?¡± ¡°She¡¯s the Queen of the Sea of Fire, that freak¡­ That super genius?!¡± The newcomer widened his eyes in surprise. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s Lord Hong!¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± The newcomer sucked in a breath of cold air and exclaimed, ¡°But I heard that the Queen of the Sea of Fire went to Yan City to study. Why did she come back?¡± ¡°How would I know? In short, in front of this lord, all of you newcomers should be more respectful. Don¡¯t offend her!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. That definitely won¡¯t happen!¡± The few of them nodded repeatedly. The Queen of Sea of Fire, Zhu Yuehong ¨C they had heard of her legends in the inner city. Once she was born, she was taken away by a big figure in the capital. When she was eighteen, she returned to Jiang City for the first time. In just two years, she had conquered a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Of course, she had killed most of the demons. She was the youngest earth grade demon subduer in the Demon Subduing Division. In the primal universe, heaven and earth gave a mysterious aura. This was the relationship between the upper and lower levels of the Demon Subduing Division. The higher the level, the higher the benefits and resources one would receive. If one wanted to receive a level award, it was not enough to just have strength. One had to have achievements. It was said that with her strength, she was already comparable to a heaven grade demon subduer. However, because of her experience and achievements, she did not immediately advance. She was famous for her unique skill. With one move, everything would burn. Due to her ability of being too overbearing, she was known as the Queen of the Sea of Fire. In Jiang City, she was promoted as a legendary figure. She was the idol that most young spirit envoys worshiped! ¡°This time, when Lord Hong returned, it was said that she came with some special mission. Sigh, a storm is coming.¡± Beside him, a spirit envoy who looked like he was in his thirties sighed, looking worried. The few young spirit envoys beside him did not think too much. They were excited just because they saw their legendary idol. At this moment, in the living room of the villa, Lorne also saw the legendary Zhu Yuehong.. Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne did not know who Zhu Yuehong was. Although he had heard some legends about this woman, he did not specifically remember anything about her. However, he recognized the clothes she was wearing. ¡®Someone from the Demon Suppression Division?¡¯ Lorne thought. The Demon Suppression Division was a department set up specially in the capital. It was responsible for handling large-scale and high-level demon affairs. The lowest-level member of the department was the yellow level demon suppression emissary. Even the yellow level demon suppression envoy was at least a level-5 spirit envoy, and most of them were the best among their peers. The black level above the yellow level had powerful level-6 spirit envoys, and a few black level demon suppression envoys even had powerful special talents. Previously, it had been mentioned that the strength of spirit envoys varied from level-1 to -9, but there were levels above level-9. Lorne had yet to understand what they were called. After all, the most powerful city lord in Jiang City was only a level-9 spirit envoy. The person in front of him was an earth grade demon suppression envoy! ¡°Madam from the Demon Suppression Division, may I know why you¡¯re looking for me?¡± Lorne asked. At this moment, Zhu Yuehong was sizing up Lorne. She smiled and said, ¡°Little Brother, your elves seem to be very special. Can you summon them for me to take a look?¡± Lorne did not say anything. Seeing Lorne¡¯s silence, she smiled again. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. I¡¯m just curious. Although Light Elves are rare, they aren¡¯t rare in the central region. Most of them have healing and purification abilities, but yours seem to be different.¡± After a pause, the woman said again, ¡°You can destroy a level-2 illusion-type demon so quickly in just two days after awakening. An ordinary elf wouldn¡¯t be able to do it.¡± Lorne¡¯s heart trembled. He had indeed not thought of this. An ordinary person could only awaken a magic lamp once in their lifetime, and only one elf could be summoned. He had indeed summoned two at the same time, and as his strength increased in the future, he would be able to awaken and summon them again. If this ability was spied on by someone, Lorne would face a disaster. Just as Lorne¡¯s heart was heavy, the woman in front of him said again, ¡°Forget it as you¡¯re so stingy. Everyone has their own secrets, but if you want to keep them, you have to have the corresponding strength. This is my card. Take it.¡± Zhu Yuehong handed a small red card to Lorne. ¡°If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can come to the Demon Suppression Division to look for me. Even if I¡¯m not there, with this card, the people of the Demon Suppression Division will help you. Alright, work hard. I hope that the next time we meet, your strength will not be at this level.¡± After saying that, Zhu Yuehong turned around and left the villa under Lorne¡¯s puzzled gaze. Why on earth did this woman come? Lorne lowered his head and looked at the card in his hand. His mind was full of question marks. Lorne was the only one left in the villa. He walked around and found that the amenities in the villa was very complete. Lorne took out his identity card and issued a request to clean the villa. As soon as it was issued, it was accepted. ¡®It¡¯s very convenient,¡¯ Lorne thought. The technology in this world was not too shabby. There were still some satellites in the sky. In the base city, there was also a local area network. However, the communication between city to city required satellites, and the satellites were all from a hundred years ago. Some of them were even old and it was very expensive to use them. In the base city, they could use the local area network to communicate. At the entrance of the villa. Soon, an aunt came with cleaning tools. When she saw Lorne, the aunt was a little surprised as she had never seen such a young man living in the villa. She did not communicate with Lorne. After entering, she began to do what she was supposed to do. In the base city, the position of a spirit envoy was far higher than that of an ordinary person. Moreover, many spirit envoys were influenced by the demons they encountered. Their personalities were a little strange and it was not easy to communicate with them. So, the aunt quietly began to clean up. ¡­ In an elegantly decorated living room. Zhu Yuehong, who had just left the villa, appeared here at this moment. She stood in front of a man in black who was sitting and drinking tea, with an obedient look on her face. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve already gone to meet Lorne according to your instructions.¡± ¡°How do you feel after meeting him?¡± The black-clothed man had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth as he asked in a seemingly casual manner. ¡°He¡¯s a very outstanding young man. At such a young age, he has the strength to rival a second-level demon. His future is limitless,¡± Zhu Yuehong said. The black-clothed man laughed when he heard this. He looked out of the window and said, ¡°He¡¯s already a level-2 when he first awakened. His talent and strength are indeed not bad, but it¡¯s only in Jiang City. If it were any other grade-B or even grade-A city, he would only be considered average. Yuehong, why do you say that his future is limitless?¡± Hearing this, Zhu Yuehong smiled and said, ¡°I don¡¯t dare to lie to teacher. Outstanding talent is one of the criteria for success, but it¡¯s not all. Whether it¡¯s talent or temperament, Lorne can be considered high-class. As long as nothing unexpected happens, he¡¯ll definitely have great achievements in the future!¡± The black-clothed man continued. ¡°You think highly of him. There are many things that cannot be judged by what you see on the surface. He should be more than that. You should observe him more.¡± As he spoke, the black-clothed man got up from his seat and walked to the front. With his back facing Zhu Yuehong, he said, ¡°The elf that he awakened isn¡¯t as simple as light attributes. During the awakening ceremony, I felt a dark aura flash past.¡± ¡°Teacher, why don¡¯t I directly test him?¡± Zhu Yuehong stepped forward and said. ¡°You¡¯ll do it?¡± The black-clothed man looked at his disciple with a strange expression. ¡°I¡¯m a lover of talent, not a killer of talent. If I ask you to do it, does he have a way to live? Gold will always shine hence it¡¯s unnecessary to do superfluous things.¡± Then, he turned around and said with a serious expression, ¡°Is there any progress on that matter?¡± Zhu Yuehong¡¯s expression froze when she heard this and she immediately shook her head. ¡°There are no clues at the moment. We only know that the other party appeared in Jiang City, but he disappeared very quickly. We don¡¯t know where he is at the moment.¡± The black-clothed man frowned slightly when he heard this. ¡°That old thing didn¡¯t hesitate to carry a bounty on his back to steal that thing. He must have a motive.¡± ¡°But he didn¡¯t go anywhere. He just came to Jiang City. He knew he was wanted, but he still dared to show his face. There must be something he wanted in Jiang City.¡± ¡°Continue to investigate for me. I must find the whereabouts of that old man!¡± Zhu Yuehong bowed and accepted the order. ¡°Yes, disciple will send more people to investigate!¡± The black-clothed man waved his hand and asked Zhu Yuehong to leave.. Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°This should be the end. I still have to go through the formalities,¡± Lorne glanced at the buildings in front of him and muttered to himself. To prevent unnecessary disputes, he naturally had to go through the formal registration of his residence. ¡°These seniors are really bad*ss. They actually gave me a villa to lock up the demons. Luckily, I ran fast.¡± ¡°Haha, I knew that I¡¯d be pranked, so two friends and I went to pick a house and jointly defeated the demons.¡± ¡°If I had known that these demons had been castrated, I would¡¯ve found a team to choose a better place to live.¡± When Lorne walked to the first building, he heard some students¡¯ discussions. ¡°Did you hear? There¡¯s a girl in No. 2 high school who single-handedly settled a mansion. I¡¯m so jealous.¡± ¡°That¡¯s amazing. Only five of us managed to settle for a mansion. Luckily, there are plenty of rooms inside.¡± ¡°You guys are lucky. One of the guys from No. 3 high school overestimated himself. He went to the mansion alone, but his companion elf was severely injured. He¡¯s crying right now.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The students discussed animatedly. As they lined up to register, they discussed the results of the house allocation and test. Lorne glanced at them and also lined up behind one of the lines. ¡°Eh, isn¡¯t he the genius that was rumored to be very powerful? I wonder what kind of residence he got.¡± ¡°Lorne, his elf can already deal with a level-1 demon. It¡¯s very likely to be a bungalow.¡± ¡°Wow, he¡¯s monopolizing a bungalow all by himself. I wonder if I can live in it when I become his girlfriend.¡± ¡°Dream on, is he interested in you?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lorne was noticed by some students not far away who began to discuss in a low voice. Soon, it was Lorne¡¯s turn. Many students who were paying attention to him looked over. ¡°The key, please,¡± the person in charge of registration said. Lorne took out the key to the villa. ¡°Eh, villa?¡± The person in charge of registration was a little surprised. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Lorne.¡± ¡°Let me check.¡± The person in charge of registration checked on an old computer. Instantly, the expression on his face was covered with thick surprise. ¡°You actually solved the demon in the villa,¡± the person in charge of the registration said in surprise. ¡°Wow¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding students immediately burst into an uproar. ¡°You actually managed to settle a villa!¡± ¡°I originally thought that it was enough for you to settle a foreign house by yourself. I didn¡¯t expect there to be someone even more powerful!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Alright! The registration has been completed!¡± In front of the old computer, the person in charge of the registration handed the key back to Lorne said. ¡°Thank you!¡± Lorne took the key and prepared to return to the villa to rest. ¡°Wow, Brother Lorne, you¡¯re too fierce!¡± Lorne had just turned around when the fat man who used to be in the same class as him came. The moment he arrived, he started to flatter Lorne in an exaggerated manner. ¡°Brother Lorne, from today onward, you¡¯re our idol.¡± The few lackeys around the fatty also started to flatter Lorne. The surrounding crowd looked at Lorne in surprise. There were a few girls who saw how amazing Lorne was and how handsome he was. Their eyes were filled with admiration. As a transmigrator, he naturally would not be flattered by a few words of flattery. Lorne ignored the fatty and quickly left the crowd. He wanted to buy some daily necessities. After Lorne left, the crowd erupted into a heated discussion. ¡°Is this for real? Taking down the villa by himself? That¡¯s impossible, right?¡± ¡°Yeah, I heard from the watchman that ever since the villa was released ten years ago to motivate newbies, no one has succeeded. The people living in the villa area now are all powerful veterans!¡± Some of the new students who heard this expressed their disbelief. After all, they had just awakened the spirit envoys and had already settled the villa. Such talent was indeed a little scary! However, Lorne had already completed the registration. The results of this test were soon announced. Although there was no name, only one person had obtained a villa. This was enough to verify the truth. Therefore, the students who came later were also in an uproar. Soon, among the three hundred or so new spirit envoys, Lorne¡¯s name was spread everywhere! At noon, after purchasing enough daily necessities, Lorne finished his meal at the restaurant of the outpost. It had to be said that although spirit envoys faced more dangers, the food they ate was really good. So what when Lorne had eaten such good food in school in the past? If he had spent money on that meal, it would have cost at least a few thousand dollars. Here, it was provided for free! Of course, the free food was only available at meal time. If you wanted extra food or if you wanted to eat something else, you would have to spend extra money. However, spirit envoys were not short of money. A mission to eliminate ordinary demons had a reward of 10 contribution points. One contribution point could be exchanged for 1000 star dollars and 10 contribution points would be 10,000 star dollars! A spirit envoy could casually kill an ordinary level evil spirit and earn 10,000 star dollars. That was the income that an ordinary person could earn after working hard for two to three months. It was no wonder that so many people wanted to become spirit envoys. Just this ability to earn money was something that an ordinary person could never hope to achieve. However, the expenses of a spirit envoy were also huge. It was not the expenses of daily life, but the cultivation of oneself, as well as the advancement of the accompanying elves. If the elves wanted to advance, they would have to absorb a large amount of spirit energy. Where would the spirit energy come from? One was to kill the demon and devour the spirit energy that the demon would scatter after death. However, this was not very efficient. After all, the spirit energy that the demon would scatter after death was far less abundant than when it was alive. The other method was to absorb spirit stones. Spirit stones were a natural product that could only be produced at certain locations. Up until now, humans were unable to artificially nurture them. They could only excavate those natural treasure grounds that could nurture spirit stones. Although it was said to be a natural treasure ground, it was actually a place where spirit energy gathered between heaven and earth. Not only would those places nurture spirit stones, but there would also be some powerful demons living there. Therefore, each spirit stone was born at a great cost. Therefore, even a low-grade spirit stone cost more than a hundred contribution points. A low-grade spirit stone contained abundant spirit energy, which was equivalent to a few days of cultivation for a low-level spirit envoy. This was much easier and faster than killing the demons, which took time. The price of spirit stones was expensive. For most spirit envoys, the way to increase their level was to kill a demon to accumulate contribution points while at the same time using contribution points to buy spirit stones. Contribution points could also be used to buy some powerful spells. A powerful spell could also increase a lot of combat power. However, the prerequisite for mastering a powerful spell was that one¡¯s own level or the level of the accompanying elf was high enough. Otherwise, if the spell was too powerful and the level was not high enough, one would not be able to use it freely. Lorne was the same as most people. He also planned to use the contribution points he earned to buy spirit stones to increase the levels of the two sisters while taking on the cleaning mission. However, unlike other spirit envoys, Lorne could not only complete the cleaning mission to obtain contribution points, but he could also obtain additional experience points to increase the various abilities of the elves! Soon, Lorne returned to the villa. The old lady had almost finished cleaning up, so Lorne asked her to make up the new bed sheets. When the old lady was done with her work and left, it was already nighttime.. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne sat in the living room and took out his communicator, which was integrated with his identity card, to read the new message. ¡°We must go outside the city to clean up the demons outside tomorrow!¡± Lorne whispered. They were now officially spirit envoys. However, they had just came out of the school, so they still needed a series of guidance and adaptation to the cruelty outside. Before that, they also needed to learn to be independent. Therefore, the base city would also issue some time-limited missions on a regular basis. On one hand, they would let the students handle the collection of contribution points on their own. On the other hand, it was also for training purposes. Lorne glanced at the mission and passed it by. This mission did not pose any challenge to him. Although the demons in the outer city were rampant, some ordinary demons were harmless. If they wanted to gain more experience for the elves to grow, they would have to kill stronger demons. Once out of the base city, it would truly be the world of demons. Although the twin elves were far more powerful, they were not invincible. Lorne would not want anything to happen to them. It just so happened that through some of the missions issued by the base city, he could find demons that could be solved. He could also obtain experience points from the system, which would make it easier to level up. There were quite a number of such missions in the communication device. Through these missions, Lorne had a greater understanding of the situation in the outer city. The outer city had expanded with several larger defensive lines. Within these defensive lines, there were some factories that occupied a large area, for example, grain factories, cement factories, and ironworks. These few defensive lines were mainly to prevent large-scale demon attacks. In the outermost defensive line, there were also a large number of powerful spirit envoys. However, the area of defense was too large. From time to time, some demons would break through the line of defense. The spirit envoys in the outer line of defense could not leave at all. These demons would need to be dealt with by the spirit envoys in the base city. ¡­ The base city gave more than three hundred new students a time-limited mission. It was to clear out some ordinary demons in the innermost line of defense for these students for training purposes. After killing other demons, one could also absorb the spirit energy of those demons and gain a certain amount of growth. For example, the villa demons that Dina and Nita killed today also received a small amount of spirit energy in addition to the system reward. Lorne scanned through the mission that the Jiang City headquarters had issued. Soon, he saw a suitable mission. As it was his first time accepting a mission, Lorne only accepted a level-2 clearance mission with the principle of being cautious. The reward was 10 contribution points. [ Mission announcement: Kill a level-2 demon with the elves. Reward: 200 Experience, Fetters +5. ] At this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded. After accepting the mission, Lorne set off immediately. It took him about 10 minutes to arrive at the location of the mission. It was a warehouse built in the wild, with large areas of rice fields outside. These plants were planted outside of the base city. As the area was too large, it would be inconvenient to encircle all of them. Most importantly, the demons were not interested in these plants. Therefore, a large number of spirit envoys came to clean up the area around the base city every day, so there was no need to worry about large casualties. The task Lorne received this time was for the workers in the warehouse area to report that a demon had been found in a warehouse. According to the assessment, it should be a level-2 demon. So far, it had only frightened a few workers, and there were no casualties. ¡°This is the warehouse where the demon was found?¡± Lorne found a few workers and asked them about the situation. Seeing Lorne¡¯s calm look, the workers knew that this young man must be the spirit envoy sent by the higher-ups to deal with this matter. Therefore, the workers did not dare to neglect and quickly explained the situation to Lorne. ¡°Sir, this is the warehouse. From yesterday, we didn¡¯t dare to go near it. Old Li almost died there yesterday and we were scared to death!¡± A few workers also worked in the wild all year round. Although jobs like theirs were dangerous, they were better paid because they had no choice but to support their families. However, at the mention of the demon, the workers were so scared that their faces turned pale and their legs were shaking. ¡°Leave it to me. Don¡¯t come over from the outside.¡± Lorne reminded the workers and walked toward the warehouse in front of them. When they were about ten meters away from the warehouse, the air around them suddenly started to emit a faint, cool aura. As they got closer, the feeling became stronger. Creak¡­ Lorne pushed open the door of the warehouse. The old door made an unpleasant creak. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flew over from above Lorne. It was so fast that it was hard for people to react. Swoosh! At this moment, a faster shadow appeared. It was Dina, who was hiding in Lorne¡¯s shadow. Dina, who was in mid-air, threw a dark binding spell at the black shadow that was flying over. The black demon was tied down by Dina on the spot and a bloodthirsty glint appeared in its eyes. At that moment, Dina struck out with her palm. The demon was instantly crushed! [ Ding! Your Dark Elf Dina has easily killed a level-2 demon. Rewarding 200 Experience, Fetters +5. ] At that moment, the workers outside the warehouse were still waiting anxiously. ¡°What do you guys think about that young lord?¡± A worker asked in a low voice. ¡°That lord looks a little too young. If something were to happen to him, wouldn¡¯t we be in trouble as well?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you spouting? Old Zhou, don¡¯t say too much. That¡¯s the lord spirit envoy! Don¡¯t you dare to gossip about others. Do you want to lose your life? Besides, if the lord spirit envoy doesn¡¯t have some ability, would he accept this kind of mission?¡± ¡°Yes, Old Zhou, don¡¯t worry. We¡¯ll just wait here for lord to return.¡± ¡°Look, that lord has come out!¡± Lorne walked out from the open door of the warehouse. He glanced at the workers and said lightly, ¡°The demon inside has been dealt with. If there¡¯s a similar situation in the future, just report it as soon as possible.¡± It was resolved so quickly? A few workers quickly revealed happy expressions. ¡°Great! Now we can finally work at ease.¡± Looking at the happy workers, Lorne somewhat understood their simple happiness and did not intend to stay any longer. ¡°Since the matter has been resolved, I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Saying that, Lorne turned around and left. ¡°Thank you, sir. Take care!¡± A few workers quickly sent him off respectfully. This time, they were much more sincere than when they first met. After leaving the factory, Lorne did not return to the villa to rest. After all, he had only killed an ordinary demon. It did not take much effort at all. While there was still time, he wanted to see if there were any missions to accept.. Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne immediately accepted a nearby cleaning mission. It was a lower-level cleaning mission. It was not that Lorne did not want to accept higher-level missions, but higher-level missions would usually be snatched up by the spirit envoys not long after they came out. Most of them formed teams to kill demons. There were even some who focused on the mission pane. Once there was a high-level mission that could be solved, they would immediately snatch it up. Lorne wanted to accept it but did not get it! So, he could only accept some lower-level missions first. At the very least, he would earn some experience points and contribution points. ¡°The distance is quite close. It won¡¯t take more than a few minutes to walk.¡± Lorne looked at the location of the mission. After confirming the direction, he rushed over. In the next few hours, Lorne crazily accepted several clean-up missions. While he was doing so, he had also snatched a a total of three dangerous clean-up missions. Under the suppression of the two sisters, the demons were all easily taken care of. One level-3 demon was 300 experience points so he had gained a total of 900 points. Including Lorne¡¯s remaining experience points, he raised Dina to level-3. Then, he used 200 experience points to increase her innate skill to level-2. With that, Dina¡¯s strength was already one level higher than her sister¡¯s. It was her sister¡¯s fault for leaning more toward agility. Lorne temporarily raised Dina¡¯s level first, then let Nita level up when there were enough experience points. When the sky gradually darkened, it was already six o¡¯clock in the evening. Lorne knew that the wilderness would become even more dangerous after dark as many dangerous demons would appear. Ordinary people did not dare to stay in the wilderness after dark. Even spirit envoys would not stay in the wilderness at night without sufficient strength. So, Lorne returned to the outpost. In the afternoon, he had completed a total of 23 clean-up missions. According to Jiang City¡¯s official regulations for each new spirit envoy, he had to complete a clean-up mission once a week. He had already exceeded the quota of 23 weeks. Moreover, there were three dangerous level missions. The contribution points gained was as high as 390 points. However, this was not Lorne¡¯s biggest gain today. His biggest gain was the experience gained from killing numerous demons. It was a total of 540 points, including the remaining 100 points from before. Lorne¡¯s experience directly soared to 1,200 points. He had spent 600 points to level up Dina and 400 points to increase his skill level. That left him with remaining 200 points. However, he would not mind to spend the points as he could earn more in the future. The most reasonable choice was to convert the experience points into strength. At the same time, Lorne had completed more than 20 demon-clearing missions in one afternoon. Before he returned to Outpost No. 11, he had already attracted the attention of many spirit envoys for his outstanding performance. A rookie had completed more than twenty demon-clearing missions in just one afternoon. This was simply unheard of! There were many talented rookies, but they would be more cautious in the first few days by choosing to accept a few missions first. Moreover, they would usually not accept dangerous missions on their first day. After all, there were too many unexpected factors in the wilderness. One would not know if a second demon would appear when one was dealing with the first demon. Such things were not rare! Therefore, most newly promoted spirit envoys would still accept missions that were one level lower than their own elves for a period of time, even if the contribution points they received were a little less. At least their safety would be guaranteed! Or they could directly team up to complete missions. However, there was no one like Lorne. He was a newbie who had just become a spirit envoy a few days ago. On the first day he came to the outpost, he had completed more than twenty clean-up missions by himself. Three of them were dangerous missions. This strength and courage was simply monstrous! Lorne, who had returned to the outpost, immediately felt the awkward situation. Every spirit envoy that passed by him would stare at him as if he was a monster. Lorne felt uneasy. ¡®Are these people sick?¡¯ Lorne muttered in his heart. He had no idea how much of a psychological impact his actions today had on these spirit envoys. On the way, Lorne met Zhu Yuehong again. ¡°I was right about you, but don¡¯t work so hard in the future. Safety is the most important!¡± Zhu Yuehong had high hopes for Lorne, not only because they were all born in Jiang City, but also because her teacher was very concerned about this young man in front of her. She also came to meet this junior because she heard her teacher mention him. Zhu Yuehong admired this junior brother the more she looked at him. ¡°Thank you for your reminder, Lord Hong. I¡¯ll take note.¡± Lorne nodded. He already knew Zhu Yuehong¡¯s identity, so he was rather polite to this legendary senior sister. Zhu Yuehong probably still had things to do, so she did not tell Lorne much. After reminding him to be careful, she quickly left. Looking at her receding figure, Lorne was also deep in thought. ¡®Rumor has it that Zhu Yuehong has already gone to the capital city for further studies. Now that she¡¯s back, could it be that there¡¯s something special?¡¯ After thinking for a while, Lorne felt that even if she really had a special mission, the chances were that it had nothing to do with him, so he was too lazy to think further. At the entrance of the villa. Lorne closed the door and returned to the living room to sit down. ¡°Nita,¡± he called out softly. The next moment, a white light shot out from his arm and landed in front of him, revealing Nita in a white dress. ¡°Can you absorb this?¡± Lorne opened his hand to reveal a small white, exquisite bottle. It was a moon essence that the system had previously rewarded. As Lorne opened the bottle, Nita¡¯s eyes instantly became excited as if she was very happy. She circled around the bottle as if she was eager to absorb the moon essence. However, Nita could not speak. Other than being able to communicate with her consciousness in the magic lamp¡¯s space, the two summoned elves had not spoken to Lorne. He could only judge their emotions by their expressions. As their levels increased, the elves¡¯ intelligence would also increase in all aspects. At that time, they could have a direct conversation. Lorne handed the bottle to Nita. Nita could not wait to raise her head and finish drinking the moon essence in the bottle. Then, Lorne thought of something and his sister, Dina, also came out. Lorne took out three bottles of moon essence again and handed them to the two sisters. After they finished absorbing it, the surface of their bodies emitted a halo as if their bodies had been washed by energy. ¡®Does the moon essence have a special effect on the elves?¡¯ Lorne thought for a moment and took out two more bottles for the sisters.. Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After they finished drinking, they finally seemed to have reached a saturation point. Both of them felt a little drowsy. White mist began to rise from the surface of their bodies. An even more intense spirit energy burst out from the sisters¡¯ bodies. On the virtual interface, their level had also changed. [ Companion Elf: Dark Elf (Dina) ] [ Aptitude: 4 stars ] [ Level: 3] [ Abilities: Latent Shadow LV2, Bind LV2, Assassination LV1 ] [ Fetters: 70] [ Companion Elf: Light Elf (Nita) ] [ Aptitude: 4 stars ] [ Level: 2 ] [ Abilities: Healing LV1, Purification LV1, Light¡¯s Protection LV1 ] ¡°This is¡­¡± Lorne saw that the two sisters¡¯ abilities had undergone slight changes. Dina had evolved a new skill, Assassination, and Nita had also evolved accordingly. Lorne looked at the detailed attributes of the new ability. [ Assassination LVL 1: Releases a dark attribute energy light blade that can instantly kill an enemy from ten meters away. ] This was a long-range attack. [ Purification LV1: Purifies all negative attributes that don¡¯t exceed level-one. ] [ Light¡¯s Protection LVL1: Able to cast a light barrier on the target, preventing a certain degree of physical and magic damage. ] ¡®So the moon essence can allow the elves¡¯ abilities to evolve,¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. At the same time, the spirit energy that the two elves burst out was also sensed by some spirit envoys passing by the villa. ¡°That¡­ Is that the villa of the newcomer? The spirit energy explosion just now¡­ His elf power has broken through again?¡± ¡°But he has only awakened for a few days! He has broken through again!¡± ¡°Is he a genius? The spirit energy explosion of that level was even weaker than a friend of mine when he advanced to level-5 previously!¡± ¡°Hiss! The youngsters nowadays are really scary!¡± ¡°Exactly. It makes us seniors look like trash. It¡¯s really infuriating to compare people!¡± The news of Lorne¡¯s elf breaking through again spread throughout Outpost No. 11 at the first moment. The older generation of spirit envoys began to doubt life. After all, it took them several years to complete the journey, but it only took a young man two to three days to complete it. It was really a blow! For the rookies from the same batch, Lorne¡¯s advancement was like a shot in the arm. Even if they did not advance, they still felt somewhat honored. The spirit envoys, who were also called geniuses of this batch, felt a little uncomfortable. Everyone was a genius, so why was Lorne so far ahead? The geniuses who were still working hard to break through to level-2 had complicated feelings in their hearts. On the other side, Zhu Yuehong also heard about this news and could not help but sigh. ¡°Lorne is really getting harder and harder to see through!¡± Being level-1 at the first awakening was not a big deal. Although this was big news in Jiang City, it would only attract envious gazes in a small area if it was in other stronger grade-B cities. However, after awakening for two to three days, the elf¡¯s strength was once again raised to another level. This was a bit ridiculous! Zhu Yuehong knew very well that Lorne did not have such a powerful background. Therefore, it was impossible for him to have the support of any family and use large amounts of spirit stones to raise the elf¡¯s level. However, it was in this kind of environment where he grew up. Lorne only used two to three days to complete the journey that most people took three to four years to to do so. Zhu Yuehong could not help but feel that she could not see through this young man. Was this improvement normal? It was obviously abnormal! However, Zhu Yuehong knew that everyone had their own secrets. Lorne was able to grow at such a speed because he had some unknown means. It could be that his elf was very special or he had a special constitution. Special constitutions did exist in reality and this had been proven by previous generations. In the capital city, there were a few super geniuses among this batch of rookies who had awakened their spirit bodies. However, most spirit bodies would show some clues when they were young. Before this, there were no signs of that happening on Lorne¡¯s body, which made Zhu Yuehong a little confused. At this moment, the black-clothed man who was drinking tea at the side suddenly chuckled and said, ¡°Lorne should be some kind of hidden spirit body. This trip to Jiang City really brought me some unexpected gains!¡± The black-clothed man obviously became more interested in Lorne, who was suspected to be a hidden spirit body. If it was only because his good friend mentioned Lorne a few times in front of him that he remembered this person. Now, it was he himself who was interested in Lorne! Spirit bodies, whether they were visible or invisible, were rare even in a grade-A city. Even in large families, only one or two spirit bodies would appear once in a few years. The black-clothed man felt that the geniuses in large families could not compare to Lorne in any aspect. Compared to the arrogant geniuses who had the support of large families, Lorne was clearly more mature. In terms of temperament, Lorne had more potential. ¡®If there¡¯s a chance, I want to meet Lorne,¡¯ the black-clothed man thought. Lorne did not know that he had attracted the attention of a certain big shot from the capital city. Under the rule of the World Federation, the current world had long been unified. However, even if it was unified, the area occupied by humans was not large. The humans only occupied a small corner of the entire world! Under the rule of the World Federation, the cities were divided into four categories: A, B, C, and D. Grade-A was the highest and grade-D was the lowest. However, there was only one grade-A base city and that was the headquarters of the World Federation, which was also the capital of the federation. 70-80% of human elites from all over the world were gathered there. The remaining 20-30% would be split into other base cities. In comparison, Jiang City was only a grade-D base city, which was considered a small place. Of course, there were still some villages and towns below grade-A, grade-B, grade-C, and grade-D. Such places did not even have a basic demon suppression division branch. There was the possibility of being destroyed by powerful demons at any time. Only those who lived there were truly living in hell! In contrast, the ordinary people here in Jiang City are relatively happy.. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The sky had just turned bright in the morning. Lorne prepared some food and put it into the system¡¯s storage space, then set out to leave the outpost. He was prepared to stay outside for the whole day. Yesterday, he had used half a day to complete twenty-three clean-up missions. Today, his goal was fifty! ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Facing the morning sun, Lorne quickly disappeared at the intersection of the outpost. Some of the spirit envoys who had woken up in the morning could not help but shake their heads when they saw Lorne¡¯s figure. ¡°Young people nowadays are really hardworking. They¡¯re already so strong, but they¡¯re still so hardworking. They¡¯re not afraid of geniuses with good talent, but they¡¯re afraid of geniuses working even harder!¡± Although the spirit envoy said that, he still slacked when he should be slacking. After all, they were not made of iron. Running around outside all day was not only physically tiring, but also mentally draining. Time passed very quickly. Around 10am, Lorne, who had been busy for four hours, finally managed to snatch a relatively dangerous mission. The rewards for this kind of mission were generous. Previously, other spirit envoys had snatched it first. After all, Lorne could not keep staring at the control pane. Lorne had already missed three high-grade missions. This was the fourth high-level mission that he had seen this morning. It was classified as a grade-B mission. Fortunately, he had managed to snatch it this time! ¡°After advancing to level-3, killing those level-1 demons will no longer give any experience point. Moreover, the experience points gained from killing level-2 demons have also been reduced to 50 points. It seems that the bonus from killing those above my level has doubled my experience.¡± Even so, Lorne would still accept grade-C missions if he could not receive a grade-B mission. After all, even though the experience point was gone, there were still contribution points awarded by the Federation. Although 10 contribution points was not a lot, it was still a considerable income. Since he had nothing else to do, Lorne naturally would not give up such an income. Ten minutes later, Lorne stopped his motorcycle in front of an abandoned village. He was riding a bike mainly for traveling in the wild. Most of the spirit envoys chose motorcycles. Many roads were narrow and the road conditions were very bad. If he drove a car, some places might not be accessible and it would be more troublesome. ¡°This is it.¡± Lorne looked at the village in front of him. The village had been abandoned for God knew how many years. It had long been deserted. Even a stone tablet at the entrance of the village had cracked and half of it was gone. The original name of the village could no longer be seen. Only half of the word ¡°demon¡± was left. Even in broad daylight, it made people feel gloomy. ¡°This should be the locust tree village mentioned by the mission location, right?¡± Lorne glanced at it and did not look at it closely. At this time, two spirit envoys who looked to be in their thirties walked over from the village entrance when they heard the commotion. ¡°You¡¯re the one who accepted this mission?¡± The two of them looked at Lorne with a puzzled expression. ¡°Are you kidding me?¡± A thin woman with an ugly expression said, ¡°Little friend, did you go to the wrong place? This is a grade-B cleaning mission! I think at your age, you just became a spirit envoy not too long ago, right?¡± ¡°The day before yesterday,¡± Lorne said calmly. The two of them remained silent after hearing that. F*ck! He had just become a spirit envoy the day before yesterday and he dared to accept a dangerous grade-B mission? He was probably asking for death! The two spirit envoys¡¯ expressions turned ugly. ¡°That demon is in the village?¡± Lorne asked. That woman said angrily, ¡°Hey! Do you know how serious this is? Even if you want to die, don¡¯t come here and make trouble for us!¡± At this time, her companion seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly pulled the woman. ¡°Why are you pulling me?¡± The woman turned her head angrily. ¡°Um¡­ Are you that little brother Lorne?¡± Her companion ignored her and asked Lorne instead. Lorne nodded. ¡°Is the demon still there?¡± He asked again. The other woman quickly nodded and said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s in the village! We don¡¯t dare to go near it. We¡¯re just waiting for the higher-ups to send people over!¡± ¡°Then you guys continue to wait outside. No matter what you hear or see, don¡¯t come in,¡± Lorne said indifferently. Then, he jumped over the two of them and walked into the village. At this time, the woman from before finally reacted. She turned around and asked, ¡°He¡¯s¡­ Lorne?¡± The other woman nodded. ¡°He can¡¯t be wrong. He¡¯s so young and he still dares to accept a grade-B cleaning mission. There¡¯s no one else but him!¡± Gulp! The woman swallowed her saliva. ¡°Oh no! My tone was so bad just now. Do you think he¡¯ll hold a grudge against me?¡± The woman hurriedly asked with a worried expression. Her companion smiled, looked at her and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think so. After all, you don¡¯t have any bad intentions. It¡¯s just a friendly reminder. Moreover, I don¡¯t see him getting angry.¡± Hearing this, the woman heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said, ¡°That¡¯s good. I can¡¯t afford to offend such a super genius. I heard that Lord Hong thinks highly of him. Do you think he¡¯ll leave our Jiang City soon and go to a bigger city to further his studies?¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible. After all, Jiang City is too small for him!¡± ¡°Yeah, he advanced after only three days of awakening. I used to think that this kind of thing would only happen in dreams!¡± ¡°Yeah, I don¡¯t even dare to think about it. It¡¯s too exaggerated!¡± Lorne did not know what the two seniors at the entrance of the village were talking about him. Even if he knew, he would only laugh it off. At this time, Lorne, who had walked into the village, did not call out the twins. Nita automatically ran out of the space of the magic lamp. Then, she stared at the front with a fierce look. ¡°Nita, did you sense anything?¡± Lorne asked. Although Nita would not answer Lorne¡¯s question, she would use her own actions to express it. A pitch-black fog filled the air. In the next second, it directly enveloped him. When the black fog dispersed, Lorne found himself standing in an empty and dangerous land, and the sky had already turned dark. ¡°It¡¯s the magical realm!¡± Lorne immediately understood. It turned out that he had unknowingly stepped into the magical realm of that level-3 demon. The magical realm was a domain-like skill that only high-level demons would use. People would be affected by many negative effects of the demon. Ordinary people would not be able to accept it even if they absorbed a little of the aura of the magical realm. No wonder Nita suddenly ran out on her own. It was obvious that she thought that Lorne was in danger, so she came out to protect him. At this moment, Nita was standing beside Lorne. Strands of holy light rose behind her. Waves of holy aura scattered over, resisting the pressure from the magical realm. Creak! At this moment, the ground in front of Lorne suddenly began to shake. With a gust of cold wind, the ground cracked open to reveal its original appearance. The gate was dilapidated and there were gaps everywhere. Rustle¡­ The sound of leaves rubbing against the ground could be heard. Then, a low moan sounded. It was the unique language of the demons. ¡°They¡¯re letting me in.¡± Lorne chuckled. Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation He turned to look at Nita and asked, ¡°Are you confident in dealing with it?¡± Nita turned to look at him without saying a word. Lorne could sense through the spiritual link that Nita was not afraid of the demons in the house. Moreover, the twin sister Dina, who had not shown herself, was there. ¡°In that case, let¡¯s go in.¡± Lorne walked into the house in front of him with Nita in tow. Almost the second he stepped into the house, there was the sound of the door closing behind him. ¡®Please enter the urn. This demon is quite intelligent.¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. Rustle¡­ The wind in the yard blew up the fallen leaves on the ground, making rustling sounds. At this moment, Dina, who was guarding Lorne¡¯s shadow, suddenly appeared. The air in front of Lorne twisted and the ground rippled like the surface of water. Then, a demon without facial features appeared. There was a pair of ferocious horns at top of its head. Rip! Assassination! Dina extended her hand forward and directly cut the demon into two pieces. At the same time, Lorne also received 100 experience points. ¡°It¡¯s a level-3 demon.¡± Lorne summoned Nita¡¯s virtual interface in his mind. Looking at the experience points he had now, he did not hesitate to use them all to level up Nita to level-3! Although Lorne¡¯s experience points had cleared to zero, Nita¡¯s strength had increased by a large margin. The previous Nita only had the effect of guardian purification and together with Dina, she could completely suppress a level-3 demon. Now, Nita had her own light attribute attack! With two elves working together, she could even kill a level-4 demon! ¡°Now it¡¯s even more stable!¡± Lorne smiled. Thanks to this demon, he sent one of his own level-3 elves to test the waters. It gave Nita a huge boost. ¡°Ow!¡± The level-4 demon hiding in the depths of the house let out an angry howl. Nita did not show any signs of weakness. The holy white halo behind her rolled, directly revealing a holy angel with its eyes closed. A wave of pressure rushed toward her. Accompanied by a series of explosions, the house in front of her was directly blown away by the pressure. The roof directly rotted and the walls collapsed! ¡°Nita, Dina, kill it!¡± Lorne ordered. Upon receiving the order, the two elves immediately turned into two afterimages and pounced on them. The demon in the depths of the house shot out a large number of demon claws across the air, trying to block them. As soon as these demon claws approached the two, they were purified into air by Nita¡¯s halo. This was Nita¡¯s newly evolved ability, Angel¡¯s Eye! The demon was a little scared. A level-4 demon had quite a high intelligence. It already knew the principle of seeking fortune and avoiding danger. It wanted to run and even the entire magical realm was collapsing. How could Lorne let it go? The angel behind Nita suddenly opened its eyes. The light surged in all directions as if it was corporeal. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire magical realm of the demon opposite it. The demon that originally wanted to escape was now entangled by the light of purification. It lost its direction and could not escape at all! At this moment, Dina also caught up with it. A binding skill was released, causing the demon to be unable to move. Sensing the fatal danger, the demon let out an angry howl. When Lorne heard this, he had goosebumps all over his body! Rip! The demon, who was currently in a state of incompetence and rage, tried to summon its body to unleash its final burst. However, Dina did not give it a chance to do so. Instead, she used Assassination. A dark and dangerous energy blade shot out instantly and arrived in front of the demon in the blink of an eye. In an instant, the demon was beheaded. A large amount of spirit energy leaked out and most of it dissipated into the world. Only a small portion of it was absorbed by the two sisters who killed it. After doing all this, the two elves also flew up and returned to Lorne. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. Go back and rest,¡± Lorne said with a smile. Although Dina was still expressionless in front of him, Lorne felt that her eyes were more lively than before. She was not as cold as before. The demon was destroyed and the magical realm fell apart. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely. At this moment, Lorne also realized that he was only standing about a hundred meters away from the village entrance. He was not considered to have gone deep into the village. ¡®Did the demon move its nest on purpose?¡¯ Lorne thought. However, it could be seen from this that the demons were indeed quite sinister. Their bloodthirsty instincts also gave them a sense of cunning. Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how cunning the demon were, it was useless. In the end, they were easily crushed by Lorne¡¯s elves! Returning to the outside of the village entrance, Lorne saw the two senior spirit envoys again. ¡°It¡¯s safe here. It¡¯s already been cleaned up,¡± Lorne said. ¡°So fast!!!¡± The two looked at him in shock. Even if they knew that Lorne¡¯s elven strength might have reached level-3, the demons he was dealing with were also level-3 and above! Should not battles between the same level be fought back and forth and need to be in a stalemate for a long time? How could it be settled in just five or six minutes? After Lorne came out, the two of them also felt the demonic aura in the village had dissipated. Now, they were only shocked by Lorne¡¯s speed. It was too fast! ¡°You can go over and check it out. If there are no problems, report it. I still have something to do, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Lorne did not plan to have any in-depth exchanges with the two in front of him. There were still many tasks waiting for him to do today. Right now, he only wanted to improve his strength. Moreover, his own elf was also a super beautiful woman. He really did not feel anything when an ordinary beautiful woman stood in front of Lorne. Lorne was mature. When he woke up every morning, his little friend would remind him that he was still a young man in his prime and that he had not really become an old man without any desires. It could only be said that Lorne¡¯s starting point was too high and it had spoiled his taste.. After all, he had seen too many beautiful women, so he did not really care. Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Seriously, what am I thinking about all this for?¡± Lorne was puzzled. On the surface, he was still as nonchalant as ever. The two beautiful spirit envoys in front of him could not help but think even more highly of him. ¡°Thank you for your help. We¡¯ll check if there are any other dangers in the surroundings later. If there are, we¡¯ll take care of it ourselves.¡± Lorne nodded. Then, he turned around and left without saying a word. ¡°This youth is really something!¡± ¡°If I was younger by a dozen years, I¡¯d definitely let him court me!¡± When Lorne rode his motorcycle and left, the two beautiful spirit envoys could not help but sigh. Unfortunately, time waits for no one. Even if it was a high and mighty spirit envoy, unless it was an existence that truly stood at the top of the pyramid, they could borrow the power of the elves to return to their bodies. Otherwise, the vast majority of spirit envoys were no different from ordinary people in terms of lifespan. The female spirit envoys were thirty-something years old, considered to be middle-aged. At this time, it would be a little awkward to have any ideas of hitting on a teenager. At the same time¡­ ¡°Did you hear? That rookie king Lorne has already completed a grade-B mission!¡± ¡°No way? Didn¡¯t they say that his elf just advanced to level-2 yesterday? He¡¯s already able to complete a grade-B mission so quickly.¡± ¡°Why else would they say that he¡¯s a genius? A genius is someone who breaks the rules and does such an incredible feat in the eyes of us.¡± ¡°Uh¡­ Now that you mention it, how are the other people who are called geniuses going to live?¡± ¡°Tsk, it¡¯s none of my business how they live!¡± The news that Lorne had completed a grade-B clearance mission gradually spread in the group chat formed by the spirit envoys. In a group chat called [ Class 99 Spirit Envoys ], most of the rookies who graduated this year had gathered to discuss this matter. ¡°Lorne is really amazing! He can already complete a grade-B mission on his own, unlike us, who don¡¯t even dare to accept a grade-D mission.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no use to compare but if it¡¯s Lorne¡­ I¡¯m convinced!¡± ¡°The person above, you make it sound like you¡¯re not convinced, so what can you do? But Lorne has really brought glory to this batch of rookies. Every time I see those veteran¡¯s sour faces, I feel great!¡± ¡°Work hard on your own. Don¡¯t always be envious of other people¡¯s achievements.¡± ¡°It¡¯s easy to say, but in reality, it¡¯s not possible to succeed just by working hard!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t there someone from Class Six of No. 1 high school in our group? Why don¡¯t we pull Lorne into the group too?¡± ¡°He¡¯s a big shot. He probably won¡¯t enter a new group like ours, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s hard to say. Maybe Lorne is approachable? How do you know it¡¯s impossible if you don¡¯t give it a try?¡± ¡°@cai xukun, haven¡¯t you been bragging about your good relationship with Lorne? Go and invite big shot to join the group!¡± ¡°¡­¡± At this moment, Cai Xukun saw the message in the group and felt a little flustered. ¡®Don¡¯t f*ck with me! You said that I was bragging, so why did you ask me to invite big shot to join the group? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me, Cai Xukun?!¡¯ Looking at the discussions in the group, Cai Xukun found that many people were encouraging him to invite Lorne. This made him very uncomfortable. ¡°F*ck, a bunch of people who aren¡¯t afraid of big things!¡± He cursed. While holding his phone, he hesitated whether to send a message to Lorne. In another group chat, the students of Class Six had all joined a class group. Lorne was also in this group, so Cai Xukun could contact Lorne. However¡­ ¡°He¡¯s not on the same level as us now. Will he reply me?¡± Cai Xukun was a little uncertain. If it were him, his strength and the people around him were not on the same level, so he would not pay too much attention to them. After all, the circle he was in contact with was different. However, Cai Xukun, who had already been set up, had no other choice. He could only bite the bullet and treat it as a last resort. He contacted Lorne in the class group. In the wilderness, Lorne came out of an orchard. He had just finished off a level-2 demon. He gained another 50 experience points. Including the 300 experience points that the Level-4 demon had given him previously, his remaining experience points had reached another 350 points. ¡°I can upgrade Nita¡¯s skills by another level.¡± Lorne was about to upgrade Nita¡¯s level-1 skills by another level. At this moment, his phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Lorne took out his phone and looked at the screen in confusion. It was a message from a group chat. He opened it and took a look. ¡°Cai Xukun?¡± Lorne recalled and remembered who this person was. Was not it just the fat guy in their class? ¡®Why is this guy looking for me?¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. He replied a message on one side. On the other side, just a dozen seconds of waiting had already made Cai Xukun a little anxious. He stared at the screen of his phone. In his heart, he hoped that Lorne would reply, but he was also afraid that Lorne would completely ignore him. Would not he be even more embarrassed then? Just as he was in a dilemma, a new message appeared in the class group. [ Lorne: What¡¯s Up? ] Cai Xukun¡¯s heart that was hanging in the air instantly dropped when he saw this message. ¡°Great, Big Brother has replied me!¡± He was so excited that he looked even more excited than when he received his first love¡¯s reply a few years ago. His fat body almost jumped up on the spot. [ Brother Lorne, it¡¯s like this. They have set up a group chat so that everyone can exchange ideas or some information. Brother Lorne is so amazing. Everyone hopes that you can join the group and give us guidance. ] Seeing the message above, Lorne thought for a moment and replied. [ Sure, count me in. ] Adding a group was nothing to Lorne. Cai Xukun jumped on the spot excitedly. Then, he quickly switched to the chat interface. After entering Lorne¡¯s ID in the search bar, he sent him an invitation to join the group. Soon, Lorne accepted his invitation. [ Class of 99 Spirit Envoys ] [ New member, Lorne, has joined the group chat! ] The group chat, which was originally bustling with chatter, instantly quieted down when this notification popped up. Immediately after, the group exploded. ¡°Lorne is here~¡± ¡°The big boss has really been invited.¡± ¡°Welcome, Brother Lorne!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Lorne instantly became lively once he entered the group. Looking at the members in the group, he realized that he did not recognize the vast majority of the hundreds of members above. He had almost forgotten Cai Xukun, who was in his class. It would be a miracle if he could recognize these people! After sending an emoji, Lorne did not pay attention to the fans in the group. After turning off the phone screen, he summoned Nita from the magic lamp. ¡°After this upgrade, your strength should be comparable to a real level-3 demon!¡± Lorne looked at the obedient Nita in front of him and said with a smile. The next second, 300 experience points disappeared. Then, an even stronger aura burst out from Nita¡¯s body. Even Lorne, who was her master, had to step back a little to feel less pressured. Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation [ Ding! ] [ Your twin elves have advanced to level-3. You¡¯ve received an amplification feedback! ] Suddenly, a system notification attracted Lorne¡¯s attention. ¡°There¡¯s an additional surprise after advancing to level-3?!¡± Lorne was a little surprised. What exactly was this amplification feedback? At this moment, a warm feeling suddenly appeared out of thin air and spread throughout his entire body. Lorne could not help but squint his eyes comfortably. It felt like soaking in a hot spring in the middle of winter where warmth wrapped his entire body. However, this feeling came and went quickly. In just seven or eight seconds, it had disappeared! As this warm feeling disappeared, a feeling of power filled his entire body, making Lorne feel as if he could kill a cow with one punch. ¡°This is the amplification feedback?¡± Lorne had felt it before when the two sisters had leveled up for the first time. While the two sisters had leveled up, he had also benefited greatly. The upgrade this time was obviously more significant. Lorne stretched out his hand and looked at his hands. At this moment, a new virtual interface suddenly appeared in his mind. [ Name: Lorne ] [ Age: 15] [ Gender: Male ] [ Amplification feedback: 2 times ] [ Strength: 10] [ Speed: 10] [ Constitution: 10] [ Spirit: 10] [ Note: the average attributes of adult male humans in this world are 5 points! ] ¡°Is this my current attribute?¡± The four-dimensional attributes were all 10 points, which was twice the average value. In other words, if Lorne¡¯s previous four-dimensional attributes were 5 points, then his current four-dimensional attributes had doubled! No wonder he felt like his strength had suddenly increased explosively. After all, his strength attribute had directly doubled. It would be strange if he could not feel such an obvious increase in strength! ¡°So, the amplification feedback is to increase my own strength. That makes sense. Otherwise, the elf is so strong but the master is still a rookie. If he was accidentally killed by a sneak attack, how unlucky would that be!¡± Lorne muttered softly. In short, this unexpected surprise was indeed a surprise. Not only did his elf¡¯s strength increase, but even Lorne himself also benefited from it. Previously, he was still unable to leave the realm of an ordinary person. He even thought about giving himself some defensive measures. Even if he learned the movement technique rewarded by the system, he would only be slightly stronger than an ordinary person. It would be dangerous if he faced a dangerous demon alone. Now it was good! As long as Lorne continued to increase his elven level, he would also receive rewards. This way, he would no longer have to worry about his own safety. ¡°Nita, how do you feel?¡± Nita was temporarily unable to respond, but the joy in her eyes indicated that she was very happy with the increase in her strength. Lorne reached out and touched Nita¡¯s head a few times. Nita¡¯s obedience made Lorne very happy. At noon, Lorne ate the food he packed earlier as lunch. Then, he continued to accept the next clean-up mission and rushed to the next location. The entire afternoon, Lorne was running around outside. He accepted all kinds of clean-up missions. Some were grade-C and a small number were grade-B. After his strength increased, Nita and Dina, who were already at level-3, instantly killed a level-2 demon. It was very easy for the two of them to work together to deal with a demon of the same level. Lorne obtained another 500 experience points and 300 contribution points. When the sky gradually darkened, Lorne also rode his motorcycle back to Outpost No. 11. Throughout the day, he had completed a total of 53 clean-up missions, including 36 grade-D missions, 15 grade-C missions, and 2 grade-B missions! Among them, there were 2 grade-B missions. Therefore, he had obtained a total of 1,700 experience points. In addition, he had also obtained 800 contribution points! After returning to the outpost, the four intermediate spirit stones that Lorne had previously purchased from the Federation had also arrived. The price of one intermediate spirit stone was 200 contribution points while four was 800 contribution points, instantly emptying Lorne¡¯s contribution points. However, Lorne felt that it was worth it. After absorbing a large amount of the remnant aura of the two sisters who had killed the demons today in addition of these four intermediate spirit stones, there was a high probability that they would be able to advance to level-4. Once they advanced successfully, their talents guaranteed that their strength would be at least at the peak of level-4. Moreover, Lorne still had 850 experience points on hand. After advancing, they would upgrade their skill levels. In the villa¡¯s living room. Lorne, who had sent away the two delivery men, summoned the two elves and handed the four intermediate spirit stones to them. ¡°Absorb them together.¡± Lorne watched as the four intermediate spirit stones turned into a few streams of rich spiritual energy in the hands of the two sisters, which were then quickly absorbed by them. As expected of an intermediate spirit stone, the spirit energy contained within it was actually visible to the naked eye after it was broken open. As the spirit energy was absorbed, the spirit energy in the sisters¡¯ bodies also began to churn violently and a shocking aura erupted from their bodies! When the surrounding spirit envoys sensed this terrifying spirit energy, they could not help but look at Lorne¡¯s villa with dull expressions. It was happening again! These spirit envoys felt that they were about to go numb. How many times had this been? They felt that the number of times they had been shocked in their lives was not as many as Lorne¡¯s arrival here. ¡°He advanced again. Is this one level a day?!¡± ¡°I heard that Lorne completed 53 clean-up missions today, including 2 grade-B missions. He¡¯s working too hard!¡± ¡°His talent is unreasonable and he¡¯s working so hard. He¡¯s not leaving any room for ordinary spirit envoys like us!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just take a look. We can¡¯t compete! We can¡¯t compete!¡± ¡°I heard that those rookies are so arrogant now. Each and every one of them has Lorne as their target. It¡¯s ridiculous!¡± ¡°Humans! They have to have some dreams after all. It doesn¡¯t matter if they can realize it or not. The main thing is to do more when they are still young and can still dream. Otherwise, when they reach our age, they won¡¯t be able to do it anymore!¡± ¡°Brother, brilliant!¡± In the [ Class of 33 Spirit Envoys ] group chat. At this moment, the news of Lorne¡¯s elven advancement had also reached here. ¡°F*ck! Big Brother, don¡¯t walk so fast. We can¡¯t even see your back!¡± ¡°Big Brother is Big Brother. He doesn¡¯t walk the ordinary path!¡± ¡°Class Six of No. 1 high school is awesome!!!¡± ¡°That¡¯s because Lorne is awesome. What does that have to do with the rest of Class Six?¡± ¡°I heard that Li Chong wanted to challenge Lorne before? Do you still want to?¡± ¡°Why isn¡¯t Li Chong saying anything?¡± ¡°What the f*ck? Li Chong isn¡¯t in this group!¡± ¡°Look at Lorne. He has already raised the elves to level-3, yet he¡¯s still so approachable! The other geniuses are all useless, but they¡¯re full of pride!¡± ¡°@all members: Latest news, Li Chong has brought the other geniuses of this batch to look for Lorne!¡± ¡°???¡± ¡°What are they trying to do? They¡¯re all looking for death?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go, let¡¯s watch the show! Who¡¯s with us?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going too, there¡¯s nothing much to do.¡± ¡°Count me in!¡± ¡°Count me in!¡± Lorne did not know what was happening outside. Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, Lorne was looking at the two sisters who had successfully advanced to level-4. He was observing the changes before and after the advancement. First of all, the increase in strength of the various attributes were obvious. Secondly, Lorne could feel that the connection between the two sisters and him had deepened, and the bind value had also reached 80 points. ¡®I wonder what will happen when the bind value reaches its full value.¡¯ The system could not have created a bind value for no reason. There must be other uses for it, but it had not been developed yet. Lorne happily held Nita¡¯s little hand and patted Dina¡¯s little head. At this moment, Dina¡¯s small red lips gently curved into an arc. She actually smiled along with Lorne. ¡°You can even smile!¡± Lorne widened his eyes in surprise. Dina had always been cold and indifferent, with an expression hat kept strangers away. This time, Lorne was so happy that he could not help but pat Dina¡¯s head. He did not expect that she did not resist. Instead, she seemed to be very happy. In an instant, Dina returned to her cold expression, but Lorne still caught a hint of shyness in her eyes. ¡°She¡¯s actually shy.¡± Lorne could not help but laugh and shake his head. After summoning Dina¡¯s status panel, Lorne directly invested 600 experience points into her skill level. Dina, whose skills had been upgraded once again, became even more imposing. Lorne did not stop. He continued to add 200 experience points to Nita¡¯s skill level. As a result, the two sisters¡¯ attributes panel became much more gorgeous. 80 binding points, some for skill value, some for promotion, and a few for interaction with Lorne. Through the spiritual link, Lorne could feel the joy and joy in the hearts of the two sisters. The rich expression of their emotions allowed Lorne to clearly sense the changes in their emotions. ¡°Big Brother!¡± ¡°It¡¯s a spiritual link!¡± Lorne reacted. As expected! The next second, the two sisters in front of him did not speak. However, Lorne heard a girl calling out to him in his mind. ¡°Big Brother!¡± ¡°Nita, did you have a spiritual conversation with me?¡± It seemed like Nita only knew this sentence. She could not say anything else. Lorne thought about it. Perhaps it was because her level was not high enough, it was already very good that she had a response now. After all, many spirit envoys might not be able to communicate with their elves for their entire lives. Most of them could only order the other party to act, but they lacked autonomy. ¡°Why is it so noisy outside?¡± In the living room, Lorne had wanted to chat with the two sisters to see if she could talk about anything other than ¡°big brother¡±, but at this moment, he was suddenly disturbed by the noise outside the villa. ¡°You two go back and rest first,¡± Lorne said to the two sisters. The two elves nodded when they heard him. Then, they turned into two lights and returned to the space of the magic lamp. ¡°Ka!¡± Lorne opened the door of the villa and came outside. There were many people gathered at the door of the villa. The noise was caused by these people. When they saw the owner of the villa come out, they immediately looked over. ¡°Lorne is out. There¡¯s a good show to watch!¡± ¡°Everyone, pay attention. These fools still don¡¯t know that Lorne¡¯s elves have broken through again.¡± ¡°Then keep it down. Don¡¯t let them hear it. Otherwise, there won¡¯t be a good show to watch.¡± ¡°I wonder where this group of fools got their confidence from? Even if Lorne¡¯s elves are still at level-2, with their strength, can they beat them?¡± ¡°I heard that they seem to have formed a group to farm a lot of contribution points, allowing their elves to break through collectively. That¡¯s why they dared to challenge Lorne.¡± ¡°Four level-2 and two level-1. That does have a slight chance of winning, but it¡¯s only a slight possibility.¡± ¡°The truth is that Lorne¡¯s elves have already broken through to level-3!¡± ¡°This bunch of guys are too outdated. They deserve to be humiliated!¡± ¡°Look! They¡¯re about to meet. Everyone, quiet down.¡± However, they did not know that just now, Lorne¡¯s elves had both advanced to level-4. The surrounding spirit envoys were discussing in low voices. At this time, they saw the six young people in front of them walk to the door of the villa and stopped their discussion. ¡°Lorne, long time no see!¡± Li Chong looked at Lorne in front of him and could not help but smile slightly. He and Lorne both graduated from Class Six of Jiang City high school, and he did not expect Lorne to steal the limelight on the day of the awakening ceremony. From the moment he entered Jiang City high school, Li Chong had been a popular figure in the school. His parents were spirit envoys and even his ancestors were spirit envoys too. It could be said that he was an upright spirit envoy of the third generation! Moreover, his mother was a powerful spirit envoy with the strength of a level-6 elf. She worked in the branch of Jiang City¡¯s Demon Department and was a mystic level demon suppression envoy who held a certain amount of power. This gave Li Chong enough confidence to be proud of himself. Therefore, when he was in school, Li Chong never took anyone else seriously. Li Chong, who had always felt good about himself, never expected that the glory and limelight that should have belonged to him would be snatched away by an orphan born from a commoner who did not even have parents! This made Li Chong extremely angry. However, he did not immediately jump out to cause trouble for Lorne. Instead, he silently observed Lorne, the commoner who snatched away the glory that should have belonged to him. He watched as Lorne used only a few days to train his elf to be so powerful. Li Chong knew that Lorne was indeed a genius! In terms of talent, he was inferior to Lorne! So what? He, Li Chong, would never admit defeat. If talent was not enough, then he would use his family background to make up for it! ¡®Is Lorne¡¯s talent stronger than mine? ¡®Then let me tell you, talent has never been able to determine everything in this world. Sometimes, power was more important than talent!¡¯ Thus, while Lorne was out on various cleaning missions, Li Chong quietly used the resources given by his family to exchange for a large number of spirit stones and rare pills to raise his elf¡¯s level. After spending a few days, his elf had finally advanced to level-2. He thought that his elf strength was enough to defeat Lorne and take back the glory that should have belonged to him. However, he heard that Lorne had broken through to level-3. To be honest, this news was indeed a bit of a blow to Li Chong. With the help of his family, he crazily absorbed spirit stones, but only managed to raise his elf to the peak of level-2. He was still far from level-3 and had yet to break through. It was not that he did not have more spirit stones for his elf to absorb. It was that with the bond between him and the accompanying elf, level-2 was already the limit that he could control. If he really broke through to level-3, he might not be able to command his elf, and he would easily suffer a backlash.. A backlash from an elf was an extremely terrifying thing for his master. Chapter 21 - Nita’s Imposing Manner Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne had improved tremendously, which caught Li Chong off-guard. Li Chong¡¯s heart was filled with unwillingness. He originally thought that he would challenge Lorne alone and take back what was rightfully his in front of everyone. However, his plans could not keep up with the changes. In the end, Li Chong could only choose to gather a group of like-minded second and third generation spirit envoys to challenge Lorne, the rookie king! Who was this guy? Lorne looked at Li Chong in front of him and searched his memories. He realized that he did not recognize this guy at all. ¡°Who are you?¡± Lorne asked. Li Chong: ¡°¡­¡± Li Chong¡¯s smile froze on his face and the corner of his mouth twitched violently. ¡°Li Chong, from Class Six,¡± he introduced himself in a stiff tone. Who would have thought that Lorne did not know him at all? ¡®Weren¡¯t we in the same class?! This guy¡­ Could he be playing with me on purpose?¡¯ Li Chong thought. However, how could Lorne be so childish? He really did not remember Li Chong. Although they were in the same class, Lorne was not the kind of person who had a wide social circle. He was used to being alone, so it was not a surprise if he could not recognize all his classmates. However, when Li Chong talked about it, Lorne had some impression of him. Li Chong was the one who had awakened the fire element nature elf during the awakening ceremony, right? ¡°You¡¯re looking for me. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Lorne asked. At this moment, Li Chong could not be bothered to put on any airs. Lorne¡¯s words just now had already ruined the atmosphere that he had worked so hard to create. There was no point in pretending anymore. ¡°Lorne, everyone has always said that you¡¯re the only capable one among our batch of rookies. The world only knows you, Lorne, but not me, Li Chong.¡± Lorne looked at him quietly. ¡°So?¡± Li Chong was a little annoyed when he saw Lorne¡¯s calm look. He said loudly, ¡°It¡¯s very simple. We want to challenge you. If you lose, you have to tell everyone that you, Lorne, aren¡¯t the only rookie in this batch. We belong to the rookie group too. ¡°If the few of us lose, then we¡¯ll never come looking for trouble with you again!¡± Li Chong finished his sentence in one breath and then looked at Lorne. ¡°Do you accept or not?¡± Lorne sized them up before asking, ¡°Are you sure you want to do this?¡± Li Chong said confidently, ¡°If you don¡¯t dare, you can admit defeat in advance and admit that you¡¯re not as good as us. Then this matter will be settled! ¡°That¡¯s right, not only do you have to admit defeat, you also have to kowtow and apologize to us!¡± ¡°Yes, kowtow!¡± A few people beside them said again. Kowtow? Lorne laughed coldly. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, let¡¯s attack together.¡± As he spoke, Lorne immediately summoned Nita. He did not summon Dina because in the eyes of the world, he was only an envoy who had awakened a Light Elf. They did not know that he had twin elves. The moment Nita appeared, her powerful aura enveloped everyone present. Almost at the same time, six elves appeared. When the six elves who had just appeared saw Nita, it was as if they had seen a terrifying superior. All of them trembled in fear and hid behind their masters. This was very awkward! The elves were originally spirit envoys protecting their masters, but the scene in front of them was reversed. The six elves hid behind their masters, acting as cowardly and embarrassing as mice. Li Chong and the others did not expect things to turn out like this. They had not even fought yet. The elves on their side were already scared to this extent? The crowd outside instantly burst into laughter. ¡°Hahaha! I¡¯m dying of laughter. Are these guys here to make a joke?¡± ¡°They were so scared that they hid behind their master. As expected, they are good-for-nothings. The bond between elves and their masters is too weak. Look at what has happened!¡± ¡°Although I had already guessed that this would be the end, I still underestimated the degree of shame of these guys!¡± ¡°What genius spirit envoys? If we really rely on these guys to protect Jiang City, sooner or later, the city will be destroyed!¡± ¡°You can¡¯t say that. At least they still summoned the elves. This is probably very rare for them, right?¡± The surrounding spirit envoys did not deliberately lower their voices. They laughed loudly. Hearing these mocking words, Li Chong and the others were so angry that their noses were crooked! ¡°You guys¡­¡± Li Chong turned his head and pointed at the spirit envoys who did not mind the trouble. However, he could not say anything for a long time. It was really too embarrassing!!! Lorne was also speechless. He did not expect that Nita¡¯s aura alone would scare the opposing spirit elves into retreating. ¡°Do you guys still want to continue?¡± he asked. The six people immediately looked flustered. They covered their faces with their hands. They did not even care about their own elves. They just lowered their heads and squeezed out of the crowd. What a joke. If even the elves that they were proud of were afraid, why were they still standing? Did they not feel embarrassed enough?! Behind them, six balls of light chased after them and entered their bodies. They were their companion elves! Lorne shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. At this moment, a few figures squeezed out from the crowd outside and ran over. ¡°Lorne, you¡¯re too awesome!¡± The Big Fatty Cai Xukun looked excited. It was as if he had defeated the other party. Beside him, there were a few other classmates who had graduated from the same class. They also looked at Lorne with admiration. ¡°Lorne, are you free tonight? Why don¡¯t we have dinner together?¡± The pretty female student invited Lorne to dinner. ¡°No, I still have something to do.¡± Lorne shook his head and rejected her. The female student had a disappointed expression. ¡°Alright, next time,¡± the female student said. Lorne nodded. He did not say it out loud. He had to leave some face for others. Knowing that Lorne still had matters to attend to, Cai Xukun and the others did not disturb Lorne too much. After the few of them spoke a few words, Cai Xukun quietly said something to Lorne before he left. ¡°Be careful of the revenge of Li Chong¡¯s family. His mother is very protective of her son. It¡¯s said that she has the strength of a peak level-6 and she¡¯s especially good at creating illusions!¡± ¡®This fatty isn¡¯t a bad person,¡¯ Lorne nodded slightly after listening, thinking to himself. Lorne did not know if Li Chong would continue to find trouble with him. If Li Chong only relied on his mother with the strength of a level-6, then Lorne would probably be disappointed! With Nita¡¯s current strength, she was already at level-4. It would not be long before she would have the strength of a level-5. Not to mention, there was also the unknown Dina. When that time came, the two sisters¡¯ strength would be even stronger, and they would be able to kill people of a higher level. Lorne did not care about such an enemy.. Chapter 22 - Revenge After Death Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Back in the villa. Lorne continued to summon the two sisters, trying to communicate with them telepathically and teach her more. On the other side, Li Chong, who had returned to his residence at the outpost, received a call from his mother. Li Chong hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and accepted the call. The screen changed and a cold, middle-aged woman¡¯s face appeared. ¡°Li Chong, you¡¯re getting more and more unmotivated!¡± Li Chong¡¯s mother, the black-level demon suppression envoy of the Jiang City Demon Department, Li Luoyun, was looking at her son on the other side of the screen. She was so angry that she started cursing. ¡°Mom, don¡¯t scold me. I¡¯ve already lost face today!¡± Li Chong said with an aggrieved look. ¡°Embarrassed? You still know that you¡¯re embarrassed?! I¡¯m so thick-skinned now!¡± Li Luoyun did not soften his tone just because of his son¡¯s aggrieved look. She continued to scold her son loudly. Her fierce look scared Li Chong so much that he shrank his neck and did not dare to speak. Li Luoyun reprimanded his son for more than a quarter of an hour before it ended. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t bother about that Lorne.¡± Before hanging up, Li Luoyun said with a straight face, ¡°My son is not so easy to bully! Lorne thinks that he¡¯s arrogant just because he has some talent. Does he really think that Zhu Yuehong can do whatever she wants just because she likes him?¡± Hearing his mother mention Zhu Yuehong, Li Chong said worriedly, ¡°Mom, since Lorne is favored by Zhu Yuehong, will something happen if we touch him?¡± Hearing this, Li Luoyun sneered. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Zhu Yuehong came here with a special mission this time. She doesn¡¯t have time to care about a newcomer. ¡°Moreover, even if it¡¯s Zhu Yuehong, she can¡¯t do anything to our family without evidence!¡± ¡°In that case, Mom, how do you plan to deal with Lorne?¡± Li Chong looked curiously at his mother in the video. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about that.¡± Li Luoyun glared at his son. ¡°You just have to work hard to improve your strength. If the bond between you and the elves isn¡¯t strong enough, it¡¯s useless no matter how strong the elves are. Remember today¡¯s lesson, do you hear me?¡± ¡°I got it, Mom.¡± Li Chong nodded, looking obedient. ¡°Alright, I still have something to do. I¡¯m hanging up.¡± The video ended. Li Chong also heaved a sigh of relief. Then, a proud smile appeared on his face, and he muttered, ¡°Lorne, let¡¯s see how long you can be proud of yourself!¡± ¡­ The next day, in the morning. Lorne woke up early. After washing his face, brushing his teeth, and having a simple breakfast, he went out. Although he slept very late last night, his strengthened body was different from before. After only three hours of sleep, he was still full of energy and did not feel sleepy at all. ¡®I can take on a grade-B mission today. With my current strength, it should be no problem,¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. He took his phone and walked out of the outpost. Missions with higher levels would not be accepted by others very quickly. He also had to consider whether he could handle it with his own strength. Lorne took out his phone and opened the mission hall. After it refreshed, a few clean-up missions marked [B+] were refreshed at the top of the mission list. Lorne quickly tapped on the screen and directly tapped on two B+ missions, confirming that he had accepted the mission. A notification popped up on the screen, [ Mission accepted ]. Lorne smiled. ¡°Three grade-B missions appeared at once. Why do the demons around Jiang City feel more active recently?¡± Lorne did not know if this was a good sign or not. No matter what, it did not affect him from completing the mission to earn experience and contribution points. Lorne rode on his motorcycle and opened the map. Then, he followed the navigation and headed to the location of the closest of the two missions. Twenty minutes later, Lorne arrived at the marked location of the mission. This was an old camp site left behind by humans in the early days of the terrifying recovery era. It was only a dozen kilometers away from Jiang City. One could still vaguely see some of the architectural features from the past. After Lorne arrived, a middle-aged spirit envoy came up to him. ¡°Such a young spirit envoy, you must be Brother Lorne!¡± The middle-aged spirit envoy clearly recognized Lorne and said with a smile, ¡°If it¡¯s you, there shouldn¡¯t be any problem.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s the demon?¡± Lorne asked. The middle-aged spirit envoy turned around and pointed at the ruins behind him, saying, ¡°It¡¯s in the depths of this ruins. A few spirit envoys have already been killed. At the beginning, the mission rating was grade-B, but we underestimated this demon¡¯s strength. In fact, it already has the strength of a peak level-4.¡± At this point, the middle-aged spirit envoy had a look of lingering fear on his face. He had wanted to accept the mission, but he did not get it. In the end, he survived. The spirit envoy who got the mission was forever lying inside! ¡°Walk a little deeper and you¡¯ll see a church. If you get close to the church, you¡¯ll enter the other party¡¯s magical realm. I¡¯m not too sure about the specific situation inside, but you have to be careful.¡± The middle-aged spiritual envoy reminded him. Lorne nodded and instructed the middle-aged spiritual envoy to wait outside. Then, he walked into the ruins. After Lorne had walked far away, the middle-aged spiritual envoy standing outside suddenly took out his phone and sent a message. [ I¡¯ve found Lorne. He just accepted a grade-B clean-up mission. I¡¯ve sent you the location. ] After the message was sent, a reply came quickly from the other side. [ After confirming, I¡¯ll give you the 500 contribution points that we agreed on beforehand. Stay there for now, don¡¯t leave! ] Seeing the contents of the message on the phone, the middle-aged spirit envoy smiled knowingly. He then closed the screen and put the phone into his pocket. He turned around and looked at the ruins behind him. ¡®Sorry! I need this contribution point. If you die, don¡¯t blame me,¡¯ the middle-aged spirit envoy thought. At the same time, in a villa in Outpost No. 12, four spirit envoys were getting ready to leave. ¡°Although the target is a newcomer, his elf¡¯s strength is very likely to have reached level-4. Moreover, he isn¡¯t the kind that relies on resources to increase his strength. You should know how to deal with a genius like him who has been trained by using his abilities. Don¡¯t give him any chance. Strive to kill him in one hit!¡± A middle-aged man with a ferocious knife scar on his face said in a deep voice.. Chapter 23 - The Demon in the Church Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the villa. The other three people listened attentively and nodded. This was not the first time they had done this kind of thing. They had much experience in it. ¡°Boss, what price did that woman Li Luoyun give this time?¡± a thin and small figure asked. The bald spirit envoy glanced at him and said indifferently, ¡°Three hundred thousand. When the time comes, I¡¯ll take one hundred and twenty thousand. The three of you will each take sixty thousand.¡± ¡°Three hundred thousand! What kind of background does this kid have? Is he worth that woman, Li Luoyun, to pay such a high price?¡± The thin and small spirit envoy said in surprise, ¡°I still think it¡¯s too little. This kid¡¯s name is Lorne, and he has some connections with that woman, Zhu Yuehong. When he dies, he might even be a time bomb. So, when we make our move later, you must be careful. Don¡¯t leave any evidence behind!¡± ¡°I understand. It¡¯s not the first time we¡¯ve done something like this. Nothing bad will happen. Don¡¯t worry, Boss.¡± The three of them were full of confidence. ¡°It¡¯s best to be careful!¡± He had a bad feeling in his heart. He did not know if he was scaring himself. ¡®Could it be that I¡¯m scared by Zhu Yuehong¡¯s name?¡¯ the bald spiritual envoy thought to himself. Then, he quickly discarded this thought. Although the Zhu Yuehong was powerful, as a member of the Demon Suppression Division, she could not attack the other spirit envoys for no reason. As long as they were careful and did not leave any evidence pointing at them, there would not be any accidents in this matter! ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re pressed for time.¡± After the bald spirit envoy finished speaking, he brought his three brothers and quickly walked out of the villa. They got into an SUV and sped off. Looking at the direction they were heading, it was the ruins that Lorne was currently in. In the ruins of the old era, Lorne saw a dilapidated church in front of him from afar. The main body of the church had already collapsed, and only a small protrusion of the wall was left on the ground. All the decorations in the church were also toppled. They were either covered in weeds or covered in a thick layer of dust. It was a dilapidated scene. ¡®This is it!¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. He slowly walked forward. He had only taken a few steps when the scene in front of him suddenly changed. As the faint mist around him dispersed, a path that had obviously been stepped on appeared on the ground in front of him. The lush weeds around him had also disappeared. They had become clean, and there were even some tall trees growing out. He looked again at the scene before him. The originally dilapidated church had now changed its appearance. There were red-painted walls and a towering porch. On a plaque that was painted with gold, ¡°Everlasting Peace¡± were written on it. In an instant, a breath that could calm one¡¯s mind blew onto one¡¯s face. There seemed to be knocking sounds in one¡¯s ears as if there were many believers chanting scriptures. Lorne had a strange expression. ¡°This demon¡¯s magical realm is really strange. It has a personality!¡± Although there were almost all kinds of magical realms, Lorne did not expect that a demon would turn his magical realm into a church full of sacred meaning! What was it doing? Was it practicing a religion? Whoosh! A white light flew out. Nita flew out from the space of the magic lamp and protected Lorne. No matter how the magical realm changed, the aura of the demon could not hide from Nita¡¯s perception. Nita¡¯s appearance seemed to have stimulated the demon. The chanting of the scriptures in Lorne¡¯s ears became even louder and the door of the church in front of him opened automatically. Looking in, he could see a tall cross sitting in the middle of the hall. On the cross, a naked man was nailed to it, strangely emitting a peaceful light as if he was pitying the world. Lorne: ¡°¡­¡± So, he was pretending to be Jesus! At this moment, Nita, who was standing in front of Lorne, emitted an even more holy light. Waves of light visible to the naked eye surged out, confronting the light from the cross. It seemed as if they were equals. At this moment, Nita wrinkled her nose as though she was angered. Her body lit up like a small sun. The hem of her dress swayed as a white eye appeared behind her. The Angel¡¯s Eyes! That was not all. As the light appeared, an even whiter domain opened up. A crack was torn open in the demonic domain in front of her and it continued to expand. ¡°How dare you!¡± Suddenly, ¡°Jesus¡± in the hall seemed to come to life. He spoke in human language and let out an ear-splitting reprimand. Holy sh*t! He could even speak! Lorne looked at the scene in front of him in surprise. At this moment¡­ ¡°Heretics, die!¡± Jesus shouted. In the next moment, a huge palm directly smashed down toward Nita, who was outside the church, accompanied by a monstrous blood fog. The power of that palm was shocking. Just looking at it made people scared out of their wits. However, Nita¡¯s face did not show any fear. Lorne could even feel a trace of disdain in Nita¡¯s heart through the spiritual link. In the next second, the huge palm fell, but it was stopped halfway! A ball of rolling light, like a shield, blocked in front. It was Nita¡¯s evolved skill, Light Protection! The golden palm that seemed to cover the sky seemed to have unparalleled power, but it was unable to penetrate this thin layer of light! At this moment, Nita¡¯s eyes flashed with contempt. The purifying land that she had opened suddenly doubled in size. Not only did it directly crush the demon¡¯s domain, but even the huge golden hand seemed to have been ¡°eaten¡± by it. The demon, whose attack had been broken and the demon¡¯s domain had been torn apart, let out a series of miserable wails like ghosts and wolves. The chanting of the believers had all disappeared. The church, which had looked magnificent before, had now become as terrifying as a ghost cave. Looking at Jesus on the cross now, there was no longer any expression of sympathy. He was simply an ugly devil statue with a terrifying figure! Die! Nita¡¯s beautiful eyes widened. Instantly, the light of purification gushed out and directly smashed the entire church into a pile of rubble. The tall demon statue was smashed into pieces by Nita with a flick of her sleeve! Black fog filled the broken demon statue and finally formed a figure. Lorne saw it and could not help but frown. ¡°So ugly!¡± The demon in front of him was not only ugly but it was also absolutely detestable! There were two horns on its head. They were uneven, one big and one small. Its entire body was red and its muscles were bulging. This was enough for Lorne to feel it had great lethality. It was worthy of being a peak level-4 demon. Its appearance was not ordinary! ¡°You actually dared to break my magical realm!¡± The demon in the air had a ferocious look on its face. Its eyes revealed a fierce glint as it gnashed its teeth and said, ¡°You deserve to die!¡± A raging green flame rose from all over its body as it instantly charged toward Nita.. Chapter 24 - Too Late! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Before it could touch Nita¡¯s body, it was blocked by the holy light of protection. The light surged, turning into a wave and slamming it down. The demon immediately let out a cry filled with fear. Following the purification, the demon almost collapsed. ¡°Such a pure light of purification, how is it possible?!¡± The demon struggled before it died. However, it was useless. Dina, who had come out at the first moment, swung at its head. The dark crescent-shaped energy blade instantly arrived in front of the demon. Rip! Its entire body was torn into two on the spot. Its soul was directly scattered! [ Ding! Your elves, Dina and Nita, have killed a peak level-4 demon. Obtained 500 experience points! ] There was actually 500 experience points! Lorne looked a little surprised. However, when he thought about the terrifying strength of the demon, an ordinary spirit envoy would really die if they encountered it. It was indeed worth 500 experience points. ¡°With this, the strength of the two sisters can be increased again.¡± Lorne was delighted. With this 500 experience points, together with his current balance, it would require 900 experience points to increase from level-4 to level-5. After that, he would still have 100 experience points left. However, the remaining 100 experience points could not do much. Even if it was skills and potential, he would still need 300 experience points to level up. He could only save them for now. He summoned Dina¡¯s virtual interface. Lorne spent 900 experience points to level up Dina to level-5! Dina¡¯s body was surging with spirit energy and her strength had increased again. No matter what, the elder sister would definitely be stronger than the younger sister. ¡°Let¡¯s go, we¡¯re done here. Let¡¯s go to the next target.¡± Lorne smiled and patted Nita¡¯s little head. With the death of the demon, the magical realm naturally disappeared. The two sisters also turned into a ball of light and returned to the magic lamp space. At this time, Lorne also turned around and walked out of the ruins. Not long after, he returned to the exit of the ruins. The strange thing was that he did not see the middle-aged spirit envoy from before. ¡°Has he left?¡± Lorne had a puzzled look on his face. ¡°So what if he left? Anyway, the mission has already been completed and there will be people from the Federation coming over to confirm it later.¡± After getting on his small motorcycle, Lorne left. He still had to rush to the next location of the mission! After Lorne left, the middle-aged spirit envoy that had disappeared carefully walked out from behind a large rock that he was hiding behind. He looked in the direction Lorne had gone and wiped the sweat from his forehead. ¡°He killed a peak level-4 demon so quickly. How powerful is he?¡± The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and could not help but say with a face full of fear, ¡°Unfortunately, it looks like I won¡¯t be able to earn 500 contribution points!¡± Since Lorne had already left, those guys obviously would not pay him the promised amount of contribution points. The middle-aged man wanted to delay Lorne and wait for the assassins to arrive, but this would definitely arouse Lorne¡¯s vigilance. Having been in this circle for more than 20 years, he had long developed the habit of being cautious. In addition, Lorne had dealt with a peak level-4 demon so quickly. This was something that even he could not do! With such frightening strength, how could he have the courage to run out and stop him? Seeing Lorne come out from afar, he immediately hid and waited for Lorne to leave before he dared to show himself. He was afraid that he would not be able to reap the benefits and end up in trouble. ¡°I have to be alive to earn contribution points and spend them. I only hope that this matter will not involve me again.¡± The middle-aged man was worried. If it were not for the fact that he urgently needed contribution points to advance his elf, he would not have taken the risk to do such a thing. If he did not earn contribution points, he might even get himself into big trouble. The middle-aged man regretted it to death. If he had known that Lorne was so strong, he would not have coveted the 500 contribution points. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s inform those people first. Those guys aren¡¯t people to be trifled with.¡± The middle-aged man, who could afford to offend no one, opened his phone and sent a message with a bitter expression. On the other side, in a car that was rushing over, among the four powerful spirit envoys, a bald man sitting in the front passenger seat received this message. He immediately frowned. ¡°We¡¯re still a step too late. That kid has already left that place.¡± ¡°Did he get played by someone else? That kid was able to get rid of a level-4 evil spirit so quickly?¡± The other three spirit envoys looked surprised. ¡°Boss, are we still going over?¡± ¡°Keep going. At least we can ask the fellow where the kid had gone to,¡± the bald man said. Ten minutes later, the car arrived at the periphery of the ruins. The four spirit envoys got off the car and found the middle-aged man who was waiting there. When they met, the middle-aged man pointed in the direction Lorne had left and said, ¡°He went in that direction but ten minutes have already passed. I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to find him even if you chase after him.¡± The bald man glanced at him and then nodded indifferently. ¡°Give him 200 contribution points,¡± he turned his head and said to the skinny spirit envoy. The man was stunned for a moment, but he did not say anything. He did as he was told and transferred 200 contribution points to the middle-aged man. ¡°Remember that you haven¡¯t seen us today and we haven¡¯t contacted each other,¡± the bald man said to him. ¡°Okay, we¡¯ve never seen each other before!¡± The middle-aged man nodded and calmly accepted the hush points. Although there was a difference from the initial 500 contribution points, at least it was not a waste of effort. If he wanted to earn 200 contribution points, it would take him a few days. After all, not every spirit envoy was like Lorne, who had a system to help the elves recover their aura. They had only been spirit envoys for a few days and they could earn one or two thousand a day. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The bald man called his three brothers and drove in the direction the middle-aged man pointed. In the car. The thin spirit envoy driving finally could not help but ask, ¡°Boss, why don¡¯t we just kill that guy?¡± They had not found Lorne yet and they had even spent 200 contribution points. The bald man looked at him and said, ¡°Don¡¯t cause trouble. The target this time is a bit troublesome, so we should try our best not to cause unnecessary trouble. ¡°Killing that guy will certainly save us a sum of money, but there¡¯s no guarantee that someone will follow this clue and trace it back to us. Spending a little money now can shut that guy up. As long as that guy doesn¡¯t want to cause big trouble for himself, this matter will definitely rot in his stomach!¡± The bald man¡¯s analysis seemed to be very reasonable. To put it bluntly, that middle-aged man was also a participant in this matter. If the matter was exposed, it would not be of any benefit to him. In addition to the hush points, the bald man was sure that this guy would definitely keep this matter a secret. ¡°There¡¯s no need to pay 200, right?¡± the skinny little spirit envoy muttered a little unwillingly. ¡°Enough, Third Brother. It¡¯s just 200 contribution points! Look at how much your heart aches!¡± The two people in the back row laughed and said. ¡°Tsk! That¡¯s all earned through hard work. It¡¯s hard money!¡± ¡°Enough, stop talking.¡± At this moment, the bald man interrupted their argument. ¡°This 200 is on me. Third Brother, do you have any objections?¡± Being stared at by the boss, the skinny third brother quickly laughed dryly. ¡°Boss, that¡¯s not what I meant,¡± he said. ¡°There¡¯s no need to say anymore. Go to this place now. There¡¯s a high chance that kid went there.¡± The bald man gave a GPS location and sent it to third brother¡¯s phone. ¡°Alright, Brothers, sit tight.. I¡¯m going to speed up this time!¡± Chapter 25 - News from the Tavern Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As he spoke, he stepped on the accelerator and sped up. In front of a low, barren mountain, Lorne stopped his motorcycle. ¡°This is it. It looks quite desolate.¡± On the barren mountain was a shabby Taoist temple. The demon had appeared here. It was unknown if it was a coincidence. Lorne had received two high-level clean-up missions today. One was in the church and the other was in the Taoist temple. Did these demons like this kind of atmosphere? Of course, the appearance of demons could not be controlled, let alone in these abandoned ruins. It was not surprising that the demons who had sneaked in from the border had occupied these places. ¡®I¡¯ll have 1,250 experience points once I¡¯m done with this. If I increase Nita¡¯s level, I¡¯ll still have 350 points left. If I can save them up, I¡¯ll be able to accumulate 1,000 points in the afternoon. I can directly increase their skills and potential as well,¡¯ Lorne thought as he walked up the mountain. Rumble!!! The ground beneath his feet suddenly shook violently. Lorne, who was walking up the mountain, almost lost his footing. Fortunately, he managed to stabilize his body in time, which prevented him from falling. ¡°An earthquake?!¡± Lorne asked in surprise. The earthquake came and went quickly. In just a few seconds, the earthquake disappeared. At the foot of the mountain, Lorne¡¯s motorcycle was knocked to the ground by the earthquake. In the distance, there were a few cracks. Although they were not big, they looked quite scary. Some of the rocks on the mountain had fallen. Lorne looked at it and sighed in relief. Compared to encountering a demon or something, this kind of natural disaster was the scariest. After all, Lorne still had the elves to protect him when he encountered a demon. If he encountered such a natural disaster, it would not help him much. ¡®Why is there an earthquake suddenly? Did something happen?¡¯ Lorne thought. He took out his phone, opened the group chat, and checked if there was any new news. At this moment, Lorne received the latest news [ A large-scale demon lair has been discovered 230 kilometers south of Jiang City. Spirit envoys, please be careful! There are many demons here and it¡¯s very likely to cause a large-scale demon riot! Final warning, do not approach! Do not approach! Do not approach! ] ¡°A demon lair has been discovered!¡± Lorne revealed a surprised expression. ¡°And there are also large-scale demons gathered here. This is going to be a big problem!¡± Demon lairs, as the name implied, were the lairs where demons gathered. The size of a typical demon lair would have at least dozens of demons while the larger ones could gather hundreds of demons. The large-scale demon lair mentioned in the news had at least thousands of demons, which was why they were qualified to be called large-scale demon lairs. Moreover, the appearance of every large-scale demon lair meant that there must be a terrifying level-6 demon king! Hence, every time a demon lair appeared, it would be a great disaster for the humans. ¡­ ¡°A few more died and it escaped again.¡± In a dilapidated farmhouse, a few spirit envoys with powerful auras were flustered and exasperated. Zhu Yuehong, who was dressed in green, was also here. ¡°These spirit envoys have already told them not to wander around, yet they are still wandering around. They are really courting death.¡± Zhu Yuehong said, ¡°Teacher, it¡¯s getting closer and closer to Jiang City. If this continues, will it enter Jiang City?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a certain possibility. Chasing like this isn¡¯t a solution. I¡¯ll return to Jiang City and see if I can find what it wants. You continue to track it and be careful not to directly confront it. Your elves are very sensitive in this aspect. The three of you can cooperate and be careful. It will definitely not be a problem,¡± the black-clothed man said. ¡°Okay, Teacher. We¡¯ll be careful,¡± Zhu Yuehong said. ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back to the city first.¡± After saying that, the black-clothed man quickly disappeared in front of their eyes. ¡°Have you heard? It seems that a very powerful demon has come to the outside of the city. Many veteran spirit envoys who were guarding the border have returned.¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯ve also heard about it. It¡¯s said that the city gates of the inner city are closed 24 hours a day. Ordinary people can¡¯t even enter or leave.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it the same in the outer city?¡± ¡°It looks like that demon is very powerful. I wonder what level it is.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The rookie group also began to discuss this matter. However, since Lorne was currently on a mission, he did not have time to continue reading the news and did not know about this matter. The outer city of Jiang City¡¯s was much livelier than before. Many taverns were filled to the brim. These were the spirit envoys who had returned from the other borders. ¡°Old Liu, you¡¯re back too!¡± ¡°Yeah, I heard that the demon outside the city isn¡¯t simple. Even the level-5 spirit envoy team was wiped out and not a single one survived!¡± ¡°If this happens to my small body¡­ It won¡¯t be enough for that demon to kill me.¡± ¡°Sigh, who knows how far the demons outside have grown. If this goes on, I¡¯m really worried that I won¡¯t be able to hold on in the future.¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to worry about? If the sky falls, there will be a tall man holding it up. At worst, I¡¯ll just die. Anyway, I¡¯ve had enough of this kind of life where there¡¯s no tomorrow!¡± ¡°¡­¡± In a tavern, many spirit envoys were chatting in twos and threes. The appearance of the demon outside the city had already caused the spirit envoys to start panicking. ¡°Oh right, have you heard? In the recent batch of rookies, there¡¯s a rare genius who managed to get a villa during the first room allocation test.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve also heard that this is a special spirit body! I can¡¯t be envious enough.¡± ¡°If it was a spirit body, it would have been taken away long ago. How could it be our Jiang City¡¯s turn?¡± As they chatted, someone in the tavern talked about Lorne.. Chapter 26 - The Coming of A Storm Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Not everyone could live in a villa. Other than the first house allocation test, if one wanted to live in a villa in the future, they could use contribution points to buy it but it would be costly. Moreover, most spirit envoys earned contribution points through hard work. It was not enough to increase their personal strength. How could they be willing to spend it on accommodation? Having a place to stay was enough! Unless the spirit envoys had a backer, it was impossible for them to stay in villas. Those who lived in villas were mostly spirit envoys who were level-4 and above. Moreover, the average level-4 spirit envoys had to use a longer time to accumulate the points required. Therefore, Lorne had made these veteran spirit envoys envious. ¡°Your news is outdated. I just heard some rookies say that the genius who lived in the villa has already has a level-3 elf. It¡¯s just that he hasn¡¯t been certified yet. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s true or not!¡± At this moment, a voice sounded. ¡°What, level-3? Isn¡¯t that the same as me?!¡± a middle-aged man in his thirties stood up and said with a surprised expression. ¡°It¡¯s only been a few days and he¡¯s already level-3? It¡¯s still possible if he¡¯s a spirit body. I heard that only spirit bodies can perfectly fit with the magic lamp. Some spirit bodies are able to awaken powerful level-2 elves when they¡¯re young.¡± The other spirit envoy did not quite believe it either. There were a few level-3 spirit envoys who had spent several years to more than ten years to become level-3 spirit envoys. Lorne was already at the same level as them at such a young age. This was a little scary. No wonder these people did not believe it. ¡°Could it be that those rookies are spreading rumors? You believe the words of a group of 15-year-old brats?¡± A spirit envoy shook his head. It was obvious that he did not believe it. Or it could be said that he did not want to believe it. Everyone was a spirit envoy. They were on the same starting line. Why were Lorne so outstanding?! Some people¡¯s mentality was like this. If they could not do it themselves, they would not be able to see the good in others. If it was an innate spirit body, this spirit envoy probably would not have such a mentality because the talent of spirit bodies was universally acknowledged. At the beginning of the terrifying revival, only spirit bodies could become spirit envoys. At that time, spirit envoys were much more extreme than spirit envoys now in order to survive. Some killed spirit envoys who had successfully awakened to obtain other people¡¯s spirits to exchange their blood. Some even went as far as to take in multiple magic lamps. There were once people who could take in several spirits at the same time, and then through some means, those spirits were able to control and balance each other. At that time, there was no lack of outstanding spirit envoys. However, very few of them survived. This was because there was very little research on the magic lamps and elves at that time. After controlling the elves, the elves would continue to grow in the fight against the demons. In the end, they would retaliate against the spirit envoys! Even the most outstanding spirit envoys at that time would usually not live for more than a few years. They would either die at the hands of the more powerful demons or they would die from the backlash of their own elves. There were even quite a few who had turned into demons themselves. The systematic nurturing of companion elves could be said to be a relatively safe and mass-produced method. In the span of a hundred years, countless spirit envoys had paid the price with their lives. ¡°That¡¯s right. Even if some of the descendants of powerful spirit envoys were able to obtain better companion elves, it would be impossible for them to become level-3 within a few days after awakening the elves. That should be a rumor.¡± ¡°Perhaps they have a powerful background?¡± ¡°What background? After spirit envoys awaken the elves, their bodies are affected by the spirit energy for a long period of time. It¡¯s extremely difficult for them to give birth to offspring. There are only a few powerful spirit envoys in Jiang City who have offspring. I know that the daughter of that person seems to be a newcomer in this batch. She has taken over a mansion by herself. I heard that the villa you mentioned, Lorne, is an orphan, right?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s true. If it¡¯s true, then this newcomer is amazing. I¡¯m afraid he¡¯ll attract the attention of the higher-ups and be heavily nurtured.¡± ¡°¡­¡± In the tavern, the spirit envoys spoke one after another and expressed their opinions. As Lorne did not have an official certification, many spirit envoys doubted the authenticity of this rumor. After all, the people who were in the same period as Lorne were all around 15 years old. The oldest among them was only 17 years old. In the eyes of these 20 to 23 years old ¡°elders¡±, they were completely young. However, even if they did not believe it, Lorne being able to live in the villa still made these ¡°elders¡± quite surprised and envious. After all, most of them only lived in bungalows or other buildings. ¡°Quick, look at the Alliance group. Another spirit envoy has been killed,¡± at that moment, a spirit envoy said loudly. The other spirit envoys took out their phones. These spirit envoys had all joined the Spirit Envoy Alliance and some other groups. They were much more well-informed than the rookies. Since Lorne did not receive official certification, he only added a new group, so he naturally did not know about the news. ¡°This demon is too arrogant. Is he bullying our Jiang City?¡± ¡°The castellan should take action, right?¡± ¡°Not necessarily. The castellan needs to guard Jiang City and rarely leaves the city. However, there seems to be a big figure in the alliance. I don¡¯t know why they haven¡¯t taken care of that demon yet.¡± The news of another spirit envoy being killed quickly attracted the attention of the spirit envoys in the tavern. The topic immediately shifted from Lorne. Three spirit envoys exchanged glances with each other after their focus changed. Then, they left the tavern. ¡°Ask Lorne. He lives in the villa at the back. That¡¯s the one. See it?¡± Ten minutes later, the three spirit envoys appeared in the area where the newcomers lived. The one who spoke was a student from Lorne¡¯s class. The spirit envoys who had been cleaning up the demons outside the city in the past two days had returned one after another. When they heard that a newcomer had moved into the villa, there were quite a number of people who came to inquire about the news. In fact, Lorne¡¯s villa had been surrounded every day for the past few days. After his reputation spread, many young spirit envoys between the ages of 16 and 20 came to visit Lorne¡¯s villa every day. They wanted to see what Lorne looked like and some people wanted to befriend Lorne. The older spirit envoys would come over from time to time. ¡°Is Lorne Inside?¡± a spirit envoy asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I don¡¯t think so. He usually does missions outside the base city. I heard that he went out early in the morning,¡± the newcomer answered. ¡°I heard that Lorne is already at level-3?¡± another spirit envoy asked again. ¡°Of course, everyone in the group is saying that Brother Lorne is too amazing!¡± The rookie who was in the same year as Lorne was especially interested in talking about Lorne¡¯s deeds. He rambled on. The three of them did not interrupt him. After listening to him quietly, the three of them walked toward Lorne¡¯s villa. Not everyone could enter the villa area as it was surrounded by walls and guards. Visitors had to register before going in. Although the guards were only ordinary people, the rules in Jiang City base were very strict. Spirit envoys were not allowed to attack ordinary people, let alone fight among them. Although ordinary people were weak in front of the demons, ordinary people were the foundation of the base city. Without a large number of ordinary people, there would not be an increasing number of spirit envoys. Therefore, no matter in which base city, although the status of ordinary people was low, there were very few cases of people deliberately oppressing ordinary people. Of course, it was not absolute. There were exceptions to everything.. Chapter 27 - Lich Scepter Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Lorne¡¯s villa was located on the outskirts of the villa area. It could be seen from the outside. At this moment, there were already some spirit envoys outside who were chatting about the rumors related to Lorne. These spirit envoys were just curious. After watching today, they probably would not come again in the future. The three spirit envoys stood and watched for a while, then left Lorne¡¯s villa and came to a mansion. ¡°Yuanlong, what do you think?¡± a square-faced man asked in a deep voice. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if Lorne¡¯s elf is already level-3 but judging from the number and quality of missions he completed in the past few days, his elves are probably extremely outstanding,¡± the man called Yuanlong said. ¡°That¡¯s right. An ordinary person and an elf is still growing so fast. There¡¯s only one possibility. His elf¡¯s potential should be extremely outstanding,¡± another well-informed spirit envoy also said. The square-faced man said, ¡°Yuanlong, Hehai, then do you think we should take this job?¡± The two of them looked at each other. ¡°Old Luo, from what those rookies said, it¡¯s possible that Lorne has left the city. Should we leave the city too? What if we encounter that demon?¡± the man called Hehai said. The square-faced man said, ¡°The outer city is so big, we might not encounter him. Moreover, now is the best time. We can¡¯t do anything in the city, so we can only do it outside the city. Now that the spirit envoys have returned to the city, we can kill Lorne outside the city so that we won¡¯t be easily discovered. ¡°After we kill him, we can use my spirit binding bag to trap his elf. Since he doesn¡¯t have a strong connection with the elf, we can sell that elf for a good price.¡± At this point, the square-faced man swept his gaze across the two spirit envoys¡¯ faces and said seductively, ¡°We can¡¯t sell an elf of this level with light attributes in Jiang City. However, if we bring it to other grade-B cities, there will definitely be spirit envoys who will be interested. Perhaps we can sell it for hundreds of thousands of contribution points. How about it? Let¡¯s do this, okay?¡± The other two hesitated for a moment. Finally, both of them made a decision and said in unison. ¡°Alright!¡± Needless to say, these three people were also assassins sent by Li Chong¡¯s mother, Li Luoyun. To treat a newcomer like Lorne, they had really invested a lot of capital. At the same time, 20 kilometers away from the base city. ¡°Another one has been taken care of.¡± Under the night sky, Lorne revealed a look of joy in a forest. Another level-4 demon had been taken care of. This demon was not even as good as the one in the church. However, after taking care of it, Lorne had an unexpected gain. It was a tool that the demon had dropped after it died. ¡°Can the system detect what this is?¡± Then, as if sensing Lorne¡¯s thoughts, the system¡¯s voice sounded. [ Broken spirit tool, use value: none ] It did not seem to be of much use, but Lorne kept it in the system space in accordance with the principle of not throwing it around. [ Your elves¡¯ potential has been raised to five stars. Your leveling experience has been reduced by a quarter and your aura at the same level has increased by a fifth. ] The system¡¯s voice rang out. ¡°Five stars potential!¡± Lorne could not help but be delighted. The benefits of five stars potential were self-evident. As their levels increased, the experience required to advance also increased almost exponentially. After their potential increased, the experience required to level up could be relatively reduced. At the same level, the twin sisters¡¯ aura also increased. Aura, to a certain extent, represented combat strength. In other words, although the sisters were still at level-4 but they were even more durable! Lorne looked at the sisters¡¯ attribute panel. [ Companion elf: Dark Elf (Dina) ] [ Aptitude: 5 stars ] [ Level: 4] [ Abilities: Latent Shadow LVL 3, Bind LVL 3, Assassination LVL 3 ] [ Fetters: 85] [ Companion elf: Light Elf (Nita) ] [ Aptitude: 5 stars ] [ Level: 3] [ Abilities: Healing LVL 3, Purification LVL 3, Angelic Wings LVL 2, Light protection LVL 2 ] ¡®After taking care of two level-B demons, Nita should be able to reach level-4 by now,¡¯ Lorne thought of this. Although it was already late at night, he was still full of energy. [ Your twin elves¡¯ potential has risen to 5 stars at the same time. Host has received a chance to draw a lottery. ] At this moment, the system¡¯s voice sounded once again. ¡°Eh, I can still draw?¡± Lorne was a little surprised. Previously, every time they leveled up, Lorne, as the system¡¯s host, would be able to strengthen his body twice after leveling up. He did not expect to also benefit from the increase in their potential. Following that, a circular wheel appeared before Lorne¡¯s eyes. There were a total of 10 slots on the turntable. However, Lorne could not see what was in the slots. ¡°This is a blind box. Forget it, I¡¯ll just draw it.¡± Lorne used his mind to directly press the start button in the middle. The turntable started to spin rapidly. After a few seconds, the speed of the turntable slowed down. Then, it became slower and slower until it finally stopped. The pointer of the turntable pointed to a slot. [ Congratulations, host, you have obtained an ability: spirit artifact repair. With the cooperation of the elves, the host can repair the spirit artifact. You can also use other spirit artifacts to upgrade the spirit artifact owned by the host. ] ¡°Repair the spirit artifact?¡± The ability obtained from the lucky draw surprised Lorne. ¡°Didn¡¯t I obtain a broken scepter earlier? Let¡¯s give it a try.¡± Lorne summoned Nita and took out the broken scepter. After receiving the reward from the lottery, Lorne naturally understood how to repair some spirit tools. However, this repair method required Nita¡¯s aura. Hence, Nita¡¯s cooperation was needed. ¡°Nita, give me your hand,¡± Lorne said. Nita reached out her small hand. Lorne reached out to catch it. ¡°Eh, so obedient.¡± Lorne felt that with strengthened bond, Nita seemed to be able to accurately understand Lorne¡¯s meaning and carry it out. ¡°Come, Nita, release a portion of the aura.¡± Nita obediently released a small portion of her pure aura. ¡°Try to wrap the scepter,¡± Lorne hurriedly said. Lorne only knew the method, but Nita still had to complete the specific operation. Nita understood it very quickly. She quickly wrapped the scepter with her aura. This scepter was something that was exposed after the demon was killed and the magical realm disappeared. As it was damaged, the demon might not have been able to use it before. Under Lorne¡¯s continuous command, Nita quickly used her aura to repair the scepter. Repair successful! [ Spiritual weapon: Lich Scepter ] [ Effect: User can increase spiritual power by 20%, casting effect increased by 20% ] Chapter 28 - Loophole in the Mission Hall Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°This is good stuff!¡± He did not expect that a spirit tool that he had repaired would have such a powerful increase in attributes. Dina probably did not need the tool. Her fighting style was closer to close combat. Nita, on the other hand, used almost all of her casting skills. With the amplification of this lich scepter, she could be strengthened further. Immediately, Lorne gave the scepter to Nita as a reward for repairing the spirit weapon. Nita was very happy after receiving the scepter. She shook her head and flew into the space of the magic lamp. She must have gone to show off to her sister. Lorne smiled. [ You and Nita worked together to repair the spirit weapon. Experience +10, Fetters +1, Elven Intelligence +1 ] At this moment, the system¡¯s voice rang out. Repairing a spirit weapon would give him experience. Moreover, his experience had increased from 5 points to 10 points. He had also received a fetters point. Most importantly, he had received a point of elven intelligence. That was great. Lorne was in a good mood. He looked around. It was already late at night. In this world, other than the inner city which was brightly lit, the outer city was almost gray every day. The sun could not be seen, but at night, the moon and the stars could be seen in the sky. ¡°I¡¯ll spend the night in the wilderness.¡± The nearest village was still a few kilometers away from here. Lorne could not be bothered to walk any further. Moreover, the living environment in the village was not good. Therefore, Lorne directly took out a small tent from his storage space, built it next to a rock, and then drilled into it. Spending the night in the wilderness was actually quite dangerous. However, Lorne was still quite at ease with the presence of his elf sisters. Lorne¡¯s strength was not to be underestimated too. Today, Lorne had tested it out by himself. Without relying on the elves, he was able to deal with a grade-C demon. With such a strong physique, if others saw it, they would probably be shocked again. In the tent, Lorne quickly fell asleep. The weather was not cold and Lorne did not cover himself too much. After sleeping for a few hours, Lorne woke up. Sleeping in the wild was not as comfortable as sleeping in the villa. After waking up, Lorne pulled open the tent. There was already a faint light, indicating that it was morning. After breakfast, he walked to a stream and washed up. Lorne took out his phone and found a taller stone pier to connect to the signal. He could now look for the next high-level mission. He looked at it for a while. This time, it took him a few minutes to find a suitable one. After accepting the mission, Lorne glanced at his messages. There were many new messages, especially in the rookies group chat. ¡°There¡¯s a powerful demon in the outer city. A large number of spirit envoys have returned to the city. No wonder!¡± After reading the news, Lorne understood why there were so many grade-B missions without spirit envoys to clear. Furthermore, Lorne also found out from the rookie group that his villa had been surrounded by many people over the past few days, and some of them were even asking about him. ¡°So be it. But those who are asking about me might not be curious. There might be some people with ulterior motives. Looks like I¡¯ll have to be more careful in the future,¡± Lorne whispered. ¡®What a powerful demon. It¡¯s so big outside the city. I must be careful. There shouldn¡¯t be any problems, right?¡¯ Lorne thought. Then, he continued to read the news. On this day, Lorne discovered that many of the messages were sent to him by a person in the rookie group. Lorne opened it to check. Cai Xukun: ¡°Brother Lorne, there were three spirit envoys in their thirties that day asking for information about you. I felt that their expressions and tone were not quite right when they spoke. When they went to your villa to observe, their expressions were not quite the same as other spirit envoys. They seemed to be up to something.¡± Cai Xukun: ¡°Also, I noticed that they left the city very abnormally yesterday. I heard that some people like to rob or even kill other spirit envoys outside the city. You have to be careful.¡± Cai Xukun sent a long string of these messages. The three spirit envoys would not have thought of it. The fifteen-year-old newbie they asked about that day, the ¡°young kid¡± in their eyes, actually had good observation skills. ¡°Someone wants to harm me?¡± This piece of news made Lorne raise his guard. ¡®A 30-year-old spirit envoy should be a level-3 or -4 spirit envoy, but there are three of them. They might not really want to harm me. Even if they do, they might not be able to find me in such a big place outside the city. Besides, Dina and Nita¡¯s strength have already far surpassed most people. ¡®Moreover, in a battle between spirit envoys, the elves aren¡¯t the only factor that determines victory. As long as the elves block them for a moment, my personal strength will be able to kill them!¡¯ Lorne thought for a moment. As long as they did not reach the stage where they could borrow the power of the elves, the physical attributes of most spirit envoys were average. Even if a few of them had strong bodies, Lorne¡¯s current strength had already surpassed the limits of an ordinary person. An ordinary person would only be instantly defeated by Lorne if they got close to him. ¡®If someone did not attack me, I would not attack them. If someone wanted to deal with me, I would naturally have to retaliate harshly. That¡¯s not right.¡¯ Lorne suddenly thought of something and opened the interface of accepting missions on his phone again. ¡®It¡¯s so big outside the city and there¡¯s also a powerful demon that has sneaked in. If they really want to harm me and take the risk to leave the city, they definitely won¡¯t look for me everywhere. Instead, they¡¯ll have some means to find me! This means, I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s this!¡¯ Lorne looked at the interface of the Mission Hall. Although the mission accepted in the Mission Hall would not be seen by others, they could check the mission information and the location of the mission! It was a special period now and there were very few spirit envoys doing missions in the outer city. If someone was interested, they would definitely find clues about their mission location. Although what the new spirit envoys in the rookie group said might not be true, however, it was definitely better to be careful. Those three spirit envoys had taken such a huge risk to leave the city. If they really wanted to harm Lorne, they would definitely have the confidence to find Lorne. The enemy was in the dark and Lorne was in the light. Their methods were very simple in Lorne¡¯s eyes. It was impossible for them to locate Lorne. If they had the ability, why did they have to be so secretive? However, they had another method, which was to observe the mission interface! After all, the spirit envoys had returned to the base city over the past few days and almost no one had accepted the mission to eliminate the demons, other than Lorne who was still outside the base city. The three fellows could also observe the mission received through multiple communicators. Through the rough description of the mission, they could know the location of the mission that Lorne had accepted! Then, they could quickly search for it, set up an ambush there, and wait for Lorne! ¡°Let¡¯s change to another place first.¡± Therefore, Lorne quickly found another grade-B mission and walked toward the mission location. However, Lorne did not click on the accept mission. Instead, he went straight to the mission location! In the past, this would not have worked because grade-B missions were too popular. If Lorne did not accept it, it would be snatched by others within a short period of time. When others had already accepted the mission, the headquarters would not allow anyone to snatch other people¡¯s missions. Lorne could also help others eliminate the demons. He would only take the system rewards, contribution points and other things that spirit envoys could take. However, the problem was that others might be willing to do it and it would also easily attract suspicion. Now, there were missions everywhere, so he could do that. He would first go over and kill the demon, then accept the mission. As for the previous mission, he would just use it as bait.. Chapter 29 - Each with Their Ulterior Motives Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Boss, it¡¯s in Iron Valley Mountain.¡± Lorne was right to be careful. In a small town, the three spirit envoys who were preparing to kill Lorne had indeed found the location of the mission Lorne had accepted through his guesses. ¡°D*mn it, I¡¯ve been staring at the communicator for the whole day. My eyes are numb but we still found it.¡± ¡°The Iron Valley Mountain isn¡¯t far from us. If we hurry, we can definitely get ahead of him.¡± ¡°Hmph, this kid is so bold. He still dares to come out at this time. If he doesn¡¯t die, who will?¡± After the three spirit envoys found the location of the next mission, they were full of confidence. Then, they packed their things and rushed to the location of the mission! At the same time, another group of spirit envoys from Outpost No. 12, the bald leader, were also rushing to the Iron Valley Mountain. The three spirit envoys moved very quickly. In just over two hours, they had arrived at Lorne¡¯s mission location. Iron Valley Mountain was a tourist spot outside Jiang City. People in Jiang City usually liked to climb it. There were still some old and dilapidated temples on Iron Valley Mountain. ¡°Yuanlong, that kid shouldn¡¯t have arrived here yet. Look at that temple.¡± One of the spirit envoys pointed at a temple on Iron Valley Mountain. That temple, which had been deserted for more than a hundred years, appeared in the candlelight. ¡°The main road to the mountain is there and the view is the best there. We can see several other directions. Let¡¯s set up an ambush there and get rid of him there,¡± the square-faced man pointed at a small hill and said. ¡°Okay!¡± The other two spirit envoys glanced at it and agreed with the arrangement. At this moment, an off-road vehicle also drove at high speed to the place where the square-faced man and the others were. This was the foot of Iron Valley Mountain. ¡°Could it be that Lorne is here?¡± ¡°Hehe, just in time. Brothers, let¡¯s attack together and end this quickly!¡± The three of them quickly summoned their elves and prepared to launch a thunderous attack as soon as the people in the vehicle came out! The people who came were none other than the four-men team led by the bald man. They had long noticed the figures of the three spirit envoys. However, seeing that they were not Lorne, they did not plan to make a move. However, from the looks of it, they seemed to be waiting for someone. The bald man felt that something was not quite right, so he decided to come up and take a look at the situation. Who would have thought that before they arrived, they would already see a few people in battle stance! This gave the bald man a fright! Was there a need for that? Could it be that the Federation had discovered the news that they had wanted to kill Lorne? However, the bald man thought about it and realized that this was impossible. The mission was Li Luoyun¡¯s one-way contact with them, so it was impossible for words to leak out. Then, the vehicle slowed down. The skinny spirit envoy stretched out his body under the bald man¡¯s signal and shouted, ¡°Friends in front, we¡¯re the spirit envoys of Outpost No. 12. We mean no harm!¡± When he heard that the person in the SUV was not the person they were looking for, the square-faced man put down his offensive posture in embarrassment. However, the summoned elf did not return to the magic lamp realm. In the wilderness, it was during this special period that they encountered a team of spirit envoys. Who knew what the other party was doing? The SUV stopped at the foot of the mountain. The bald man led a few people out of the SUV. The people on both sides looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief. After all, no one wanted to do anything else during this period. Yuanlong asked, ¡°Friends, what are you here for?¡± Just as the skinny spirit envoy was about to speak, the bald man spoke first, ¡°We have a friend who agreed to meet here, so we came here to wait for him. What about you?¡± The air was silent for two seconds and the square-faced man said in a muffled voice, ¡°Us too!¡± This time, the few of them felt even weirder. ¡®What a coincidence! Could the friend we¡¯re waiting for be Lorne?¡¯ they all thought to themselves. Then, the bald man seemed to realize something. He turned back to the car, turned on his cell phone, and dialed a number. It was Li Luoyun¡¯s private number. After the call was connected¡­ ¡°You even arranged for additional manpower. Why didn¡¯t you say so earlier? What should we do now? Our teams have already met and we almost got into a fight earlier! If we ambush that kid later, who will get the reward for the mission? No matter who completes it, as long as we kill that kid, the promised reward will still be given, right? Alright!¡± The bald man hung up the phone and at the same time, the square-faced finally got through to Li Luoyun¡¯s private phone. ¡°Boss, I met a group of people here. They seem to be waiting for that kid Lorne¡­ What? It¡¯s your arrangement?! Okay, okay. Thank you, Boss. We¡¯ll cooperate well!¡± Thus, the leaders of the two sides looked at each other and laughed loudly. After explaining clearly to their subordinates and companions, everyone laughed awkwardly. Then, the bald man said, ¡°Brother, since everyone has the same goal and there¡¯s no conflict, let¡¯s work together when the goal arrives. How about it?¡± ¡°Very good, very good!¡± After the two sides discussed the ambush strategy again, the square-faced man followed the previous method and quickly brought his two companions to the hill. They hid in the bushes. The bald man and the others were lying in ambush on the other side of the hill. At the same time, Lorne was still on his way. When it was almost noon, Lorne finally arrived at the place. This was the quarry of a cement factory north of Jiang City. As demons appeared here, dozens of people had died in this quarry and the work had long been stopped. The workers who were lucky enough to escape the disaster had hidden far away. As no spirit envoys had come out recently, work had been stopped here for several days. Although work had stopped, there was a knocking sound in the mine. ¡°Dina, I¡¯ll leave it to you,¡± Lorne said. A few minutes later, Lorne walked out of the mine. The one in the mine was a level-3 demon, which had been eliminated by Dina. With Dina¡¯s current level, she was at least half a level higher than a level-4 demon. It was not too difficult to deal with these demons. She even had the strength to deal with a level-5 demon.. Chapter 30 - The Importance of Intelligence Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The harvest was not bad. In addition to the experience, Lorne also obtained a necklace and a dagger. These two items were both spirit artifacts, but they were also badly damaged. ¡®I¡¯ll wait until night to repair these two spirit artifacts and see what they can do,¡¯ Lorne thought. ¡°Now, continue to accept missions and finish these missions!¡± He directly accepted the missions in the system interface and told the workers that the demons had been dealt with. The workers did not believe it at first, but when Lorne led the workers to the quarry, they let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the next place.¡± Lorne turned on the communicator and connected to the signal. Although it was expensive to surf the internet for ten minutes by satellite, Lorne could afford it. One had to know that one hour required only six contribution points and one day required no more than a hundred contribution points. It would not be a problem to keep it open all day. Soon, Lorne found the location of the level-4 demon in the mission and rushed over there. He still did not accept the mission first. Instead, he was prepared to do the same as this time. He would go to the location to eliminate the demon and then accept the mission. This way, the other party would not be able to find Lorne¡¯s location and would be misled by Lorne. On Iron Valley Mountain, two teams of spirit envoys were still waiting. They were very patient. After waiting for more than an hour, the spirit envoys still did not show the slightest bit of impatience. ¡°Yuanlong, something¡¯s wrong. I just refreshed it and another mission disappeared. It¡¯s located in a quarry,¡± at this moment, a spirit envoy said. This spirit envoy held a communication device in his hand and saw the change in the mission. ¡°Is there another spirit envoy besides that kid?¡± Yuanlong asked. He took the communication device, looked at it for a while, and then said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s possible. There are still spirit envoys who are not afraid of death.¡± ¡°Then what should we do? Continue to guard here or go to the quarry?¡± The square-faced man pondered for a while and then said, ¡°Hehai, you stay here and guard. Yuanlong and I will go to the quarry to take a look. Once we find any traces of Lorne, you follow him. Don¡¯t do anything yet. Send a message to me.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± When they set off, the square-faced man even called for the bald man¡¯s companion. After informing them of their guesses, the two of them immediately decided to leave someone here to continue waiting while they went to the quarry to investigate the situation. They had split up! Each side left a spirit envoy to guard the Iron Valley Mountain. The square-faced leader and a spirit envoy, together with the bald man with two spirit envoys, departed for the quarry. If they really met Lorne there, they would definitely have the strength to kill him! As veteran spirit envoys, they were quite familiar with the environment outside Jiang City base. Around two o¡¯clock in the afternoon, the square-faced man and the others arrived at the quarry. ¡°The demons here have been eliminated?¡± The square-faced man received the news from the workers in the quarry. ¡°Who eliminated them? Is it a very young boy?¡± The square-faced man pressed on. ¡°Yes, Sir. He was very young, about fifteen or sixteen years old. At first, we thought he was here to cause trouble, but it was indeed him who killed the demon. Now we can all work inside as usual.¡± A worker was in charge of the pipeline. ¡°It was indeed him,¡± the spirit envoy named Yuanlong said. ¡°When was the demon killed?¡± the square-faced man asked. The supervisor of the workers said, ¡°Half an hour ago.¡± ¡°Did you see which way he went?¡± The supervisor of the workers shook his head. ¡°I didn¡¯t pay attention to that. He¡¯s the lord spirit envoy. I don¡¯t even dare to look at him.¡± ¡°Yuanlong, keep an eye on the communicator. Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s leave this place first.¡± The square-faced man made a decision. He left the quarry with Yuanlong. ¡°He just left half an hour ago. He might be resting nearby or preparing to take on another mission. Keep an eye on him.¡± ¡°Yes, Boss. Should we call Hehai over?¡± Yuanlong asked. ¡°No need. A person can take on two missions at the same time at most. We have to prevent him from taking the mission in Iron Valley Mountain. Moreover, Hehai is too far away.¡± The square-faced man did not know that not long after he and Yuanlong left, the supervisor who had just spoken to them took out a communicator and sent a message. The recipient was Lorne. The supervisor was surprisingly bribed by Lorne. Lorne used 50 contribution points to get him to cooperate. Once he left, other people would come to inquire about the situation here, even if they had to tell the truth. However, he only needed to lie about one thing. That was the time Lorne had left. No matter when the other party came, the supervisor would only say that Lorne had left for half an hour. As for the other workers, they had been instructed by the supervisor and sent to work. While they were busy, they would not have the chance to talk to the the square-faced man¡¯s companions. Then, the supervisor would tell Lorne the news as soon as possible. The square-faced man did not know that Lorne had been alerted. The current situation had been played out by Lorne. To the supervisor, this matter did not pose any risk. Furthermore, he easily earned 50 contribution points, which was 50,000 yuan. It was equivalent to half of his annual income, so he was naturally happy. On the other side. Lorne, who had been turning on the satellite signal, had already received the news. ¡°As expected¡­ Am I being targeted?¡± Lorne whispered. This time, the news that Cai Xukun had sent to him was basically confirmed. ¡°It¡¯s not just the square-faced man¡¯s companion. There¡¯s also a bald man. There are more than one group of people who want to kill themselves.¡± Lorne¡¯s gaze slowly turned cold. ¡°Let¡¯s finish you off first.¡± He led the two sisters into an underground entrance. There was a level-4 demon in there. More than ten minutes later, Lorne walked out. The demon in the cave had already been finished off. Lorne looked at the time. It was still afternoon. ¡®There are only two of square-faced man¡¯s companions. That means that there¡¯s another one guarding Iron Valley Mountain and a bald man with a subordinate. If they were all lying in ambush in Iron Valley Mountain, they must¡¯ve discussed beforehand about splitting up their troops. ¡®The intelligence they have now thinks that I¡¯ve only left for half an hour. They must be searching the vicinity while keeping an eye on the communicator, waiting for me to take on the next mission before heading there to ambush. ¡®The people lying in ambush in the Iron Valley Mountain might still be waiting there. Dina¡¯s strength is already close to the peak of level-4 and Nita¡¯s condition is already at the mid-level of level-4, with me as well,¡± Lorne thought for a while and came up with a rough analysis. A cold light flashed in Lorne¡¯s eyes and he made up his mind! ¡°Go to the Iron Valley Mountain and take care of those people lying in ambush first!¡± Chapter 31 - Return to the Iron Valley Mountain Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yes, Lorne wanted to use the opportunity when the two teams of spirit envoys were separated to go to the Iron Valley Mountain and get rid of the other party first! Instead of waiting for others to come looking for him, he might as well take the initiative to attack. The other party should only be at a level-3, at most a level-4 spirit envoy. If it were a level-3 spirit envoy, it would be simple. Even if the person had the strength of a level-4 spirit envoy, as long as the two sisters could fight to a draw with the other party¡¯s elf or block the other party, it was still acceptable. Lorne¡¯s body, which was several times stronger than an average person¡¯s, could play a decisive role. After making a decision, Lorne directly accepted the mission that he had just completed in his communicator. Then, with a map, he found a route that could avoid square-faced man and the others, and left this place to head to Iron Valley Mountain! If the other team of spirit envoys were not in Iron Valley Mountain, Lorne could also kill the demon at the mountain to complete the mission. Even if those spirit envoys had been to the Iron Valley Mountain before, in order not to alert the enemy, there was a high probability that they would not face the demon. [ New mission: Kill the spirit envoys at the Iron Valley Mountain that are unfavorable to the host. Mission reward: 800 experience, 2 potential, 5 fetters. ] Lorne did not expect to trigger the system¡¯s mission. It was exactly the same as Lorne¡¯s decision. ¡°Boss, I got it. The mission the quarry has been accepted! Lorne must be preparing to go there!¡± Lorne had just finished accepting the mission when the spirit envoy called Yuanlong shouted excitedly on the other side. ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll take a shortcut. We¡¯ll ambush him there first!¡± The square-faced man sat up from the ground. After informing the bald man, he quickly rushed toward the quarry. That was where Lorne had just left. They did not know that Lorne had already taken care of the demons and had formulated a counter-ambush plan. He was prepared to go around to the Iron Valley Mountain and take care of the spirit envoys who were still there! It was already four o¡¯clock in the afternoon. Lorne was rushing to the Iron Valley Mountain. He estimated that he would arrive at midnight. At that moment, Nita suddenly appeared. ¡°Nita, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lorne asked. Nita¡¯s perception was very strong. Every time she took the initiative to appear, it meant that there was a dangerous aura lurking ahead. Then, Lorne saw that Nita¡¯s expression was grave. She opened up a circle of purifying light and enveloped Lorne within it. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Through the light, Lorne seemed to see a dark red light flash across a few hundred meters away. It seemed to be an illusion as it disappeared in an instant. A few seconds later, Nita put away the light of purification and returned to the magic lamp space. ¡°A powerful demon passed by?¡± Lorne looked in the direction where the dark red light flashed. Nita¡¯s meaning was very clear. There was a powerful demon¡¯s aura nearby, but it seemed that the demon had already left, so Nita also returned to the magic lamp space. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s the demon mentioned in the group.¡± He could not help but be more satisfied with Nita. This time, Nita came out in time and she even successfully dodged the other party. Lorne continued on his journey. However, after walking for only half an hour, Lorne met a few more people. The leader of these people was a middle-aged woman. ¡°Are you a spirit envoy who went out on a mission?¡± the middle-aged woman sized Lorne up and asked. ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Lorne nodded and answered. The middle-aged woman said, ¡°You¡¯re so young. You just came out of school not long ago, right? Hurry back to the city and don¡¯t run around. It¡¯s very dangerous outside the city right now.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Lorne¡¯s answer was concise and to the point. He did not say much. ¡°Oh right, did you see¡­ Forget it, if you really saw it, you wouldn¡¯t be alive. Alright, let¡¯s go back to the city.¡± After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she quickly left with her people. Lorne noticed that they were heading in the direction where the red light had disappeared. ¡°Are these people chasing after that demon?¡± Lorne took a look. He only paid attention for a moment before he threw the matter to the back of his mind. The red light and the middle-aged woman were heading in a different direction from the Iron Valley Mountain that Lorne was heading to. He continued to hurry in the direction of the map. ¡°What exactly does it want?¡± At the same time, in a sealed warehouse in Jiang City, a young woman in her twenties with an exceptionally hot figure stared at the many items in the warehouse with a worried expression. In the warehouse, a few people were rummaging around. The woman with a hot figure said, ¡°President Xiao, can you tell your people to be careful? If some of the things here were to leak out, it would cause chaos.¡± In front of this woman, a black-clothed man said helplessly, ¡°Chaos? Just these things?¡± The black-clothed man walked into the warehouse and reached out to pick up a glass bottle. He shook it vigorously. The woman with the fiery figure saw this and her eyelids twitched. ¡°Look, it¡¯s very afraid. It doesn¡¯t even dare to come out. What kind of chaos can this kind of demon cause? If it didn¡¯t have some special abilities, we would¡¯ve killed it long ago. It¡¯s a waste to live,¡± the black-clothed man, who was President Xiao, casually threw the glass bottle onto a shelf and said casually. The woman looked very helpless. ¡°After searching for a long time, we still haven¡¯t found anything suspicious. City Lord Liu, this so-called treasure vault of yours isn¡¯t much. Forget it, we won¡¯t look for it. Let¡¯s just wait for it to come knocking on our door.¡± After President Xiao finished speaking, he turned around and left the warehouse. However, the few spirit envoys were still continuing to look for it. ¡°We definitely won¡¯t be able to catch it. Can we only wait for it to come knocking on our door? Oh right, I saw a pretty good seedling last time. How about we go take a look?¡± After leaving the warehouse, President Xiao went to a villa at the junction between the inner city and the outer city. He turned on his phone and saw the message his subordinate sent him. ¡°Eh? He went out of the city. Is he tired of living?¡± However, he was soon shocked by another message. Then he took out an old-fashioned laptop from the sofa. ¡°I used my authority to check the transaction records of his account contribution points. 1,300 contribution points. He has completed four grade-B clean-up missions including grade-B+ missions.¡± Soon, President Xiao found out a lot of things. His face revealed his surprise. ¡°According to the completion speed of the mission, he has at least advanced to a level-4 spirit envoy. If he didn¡¯t have a innate spirit body, he would not be able to grow at such a rate. It seems like this kid isn¡¯t simple at all!¡± President Xiao¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°However, isn¡¯t he afraid of encountering a demon that he can¡¯t deal with by wandering around outside the city like this?¡± Thinking up to this point, President Xiao took out his communicator and dialed a number.. Chapter 32 - Sneak Attack, Instant Kill! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°President.¡± Soon, a female voice sounded from the communicator. If Lorne was here, he would be able to recognize that the voice belonged to the middle-aged woman that Lorne had met. ¡°While you¡¯re tracking him, keep an eye out for a fifteen-year-old boy named Lorne. If you see him, send someone to send him back to the city so that he doesn¡¯t run into that demon. If he¡¯s unwilling, tell me his location.¡± ¡°A 15-year-old boy? President, I just met him an hour ago. He looks very sunny. I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s him.¡± The middle-aged woman described Lorne¡¯s appearance. ¡°It¡¯s him!¡± President Xiao instantly said with certainty. ¡°His direction is different from that of the demon. Do you want me to send someone to find him?¡± the middle-aged woman asked. ¡°If his direction is different, then there¡¯s no need to worry about it. Keep chasing. I still haven¡¯t found what it wants.¡± ¡°Yes, President!¡± The night gradually grew darker. Under the night sky, Lorne was moving very fast. With his current physical fitness, he would not feel tired at this level. Soon, Lorne approached Iron Valley Mountain. He walked along the forest with great caution. ¡°The demon described in the mission is still there.¡± From afar, Lorne could see the candlelight on Iron Valley Mountain. This meant that the other party did not know this place clearly. ¡°Where are the spirit envoys?¡± Lorne started to look around. ¡°In order not to alert the demons on the mountain, they definitely won¡¯t go up the mountain¡­ If they don¡¯t go up the mountain and want to occupy the highest view, it¡¯s most likely there!¡± Lorne looked at a small hill at the foot of Iron Valley Mountain! The view from that small hill was perfect. Lorne would definitely have set up an ambush there as well! Lorne sneaked over silently. ¡°Strange, it¡¯s been almost a day. He accepted the mission but didn¡¯t come to solve it. It¡¯s very likely that the kid didn¡¯t accept it. Perhaps it was a spirit envoy in the city who accepted it, and now he can¡¯t leave the city to solve it! If he doesn¡¯t come tomorrow, this mission will surpass the time limit. Let¡¯s just take the mission and solve it.¡± ¡°However, Boss and the others should be waiting for that kid soon. With their strength, it¡¯s not difficult to kill him!¡± At this moment, on the mountain top, the spirit envoy called Hehai was eating cookies while talking to the two people beside him. The other two people were from the bald man¡¯s team. These two teams were originally guarding their own places, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong. It was boring to just sit there and eat, so they simply sat together and chatted. Anyway, the view from the top of the mountain was good, so they could see everything clearly. ¡°As expected, it¡¯s here.¡± Hehai and the others did not realize that Lorne had already quietly approached them and arrived behind them. Hiding under a stone, Lorne heard Hehai¡¯s conversation. Lorne was already certain. These three spirit envoys, the square-faced man, and the bald man were in cahoots. They were here to kill him! Lorne was holding a dagger tightly in his hand. This was obtained from killing other demons. It had not been repaired in time, but it was enough as a normal weapon now. Dina, who had been hiding in the darkness, had received Lorne¡¯s signal. She quietly swam to the shadows of the few people. As long as Lorne gave the order, she would launch a lightning attack. Hehai had not noticed yet. ¡°Eh?¡± At this time, the two people left behind by the bald man seemed to have sensed something. Their expressions changed slightly. ¡°We¡¯ve been discovered, Dina. It¡¯s now!¡± Lorne shouted and rushed out. Dina also instantly rushed out of Hehai¡¯s shadow. Almost at the same time, the two people beside Hehai summoned their own elves and launched an attack. However, it was too late. A dark energy blade instantly pierced through Hehai¡¯s chest, and he died on the spot. He did not even know how he died. When the two saw Hehai die, they did not feel too sad. After all, they had only known each other for one day. Lorne¡¯s strength had become stronger. At this moment, there was no time for them to think too much. The two of them quickly rose and retreated from the center of the battlefield. One of them commanded his own elves to face Dina. A golden metal storm swept toward Tina. It was an ability that had metal attributes and a very strong offensive ability. However, Dina was in stealth mode. She instantly merged into the darkness and was ready to attack. The other party did not dare to be careless. He commanded his elf to charge toward Lorne. It was a wind-type elf. Its speed and agility were first-class. This group of people were very strong, both in terms of combat reaction and strength! To catch a thief, one must first catch the leader! ¡°Your plan is very good. Unfortunately, you have found the wrong target.¡± When the opposing elf rushed in front of Lorne, it was blocked by a light barrier. It was Nita¡¯s light blessing. The opposing party was obviously stunned. They did not expect Lorne to defy common sense and actually have an elf. ¡°No wonder he can complete many high-level missions in a day. A monster like you actually appeared in a place like Jiang City!¡± the person cursed loudly. He was surprised that Lorne could summon two elves at the same time. Nita launched an attack. Her ability initially seemed to be focused on healing and defense, but that was because her level was not high enough. Now that Nita had advanced to level-4, she could better control her ability. Light, when condensed to a certain extent, possessed a terrifying burning and penetrating ability! The opponent¡¯s Wind Elf¡¯s strength was not bad. She was also at level-4 and her speed was extremely fast. Although she was injured by Nita¡¯s unexpected attack, she relied on her own speed to fight Nita equally. The difference was that Nita and the others did not need Lorne to command and worry about their battle. On the contrary, the two elven envoys were different. They had to focus 70-80% of their attention on their own elves. If they did not do so, they would not be able to grasp the elven battle techniques and timing. This was also the reason why the bond between the two parties was not strong enough. The elves were unable to communicate with their master telepathically. Lorne stood where he was and saw that the other party¡¯s focus was on the elf. He instantly rushed forward. Under the shocked gaze of the person, he stabbed down with a dagger. The next second, the man screamed and fell straight down. ¡°How is this possible¡­¡± He seemed to be a little curious as to how Lorne, who was still ten meters away, managed to rush in front of him. ¡°Bang!¡± The corpse fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. Although his companions had died one after another, he did not give up on the battle. Instead, he became even crazier. As a person who often engaged in this type of assassin profession, he understood that this was a situation where he would not rest until one of them died.. He had to charge out and survive! Chapter 33 - The Strange Rock Crushing Hell Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Suddenly, he let out a strange cry, and the scenery around him changed drastically from a mountain to an ancient village! It was the demon that was entrenched here. It sensed the battle between Lorne and the others, and it came here! Even Lorne did not realize that the demon was behind them. Before he knew it, it had secretly activated its own demonic territory! The demon¡¯s ability was still unknown. Now that the domain was activated, a red light appeared and enveloped Lorne. At this moment, sensing the changes in the surroundings, Nita¡¯s light of purification was also activated. After Nita advanced, all her skills were upgraded to level-3 by Lorne with experience points. The power of the light of purification also increased greatly. Nita¡¯s light of purification was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the demon¡¯s domain encountered the light of purification, it was like encountering boiling water. The domain evaporated and quickly shrank. ¡°This demon should also have the strength of a level-4 and is extremely good at hiding,¡± Lorne whispered. If it was a level-3 demon, it would not be able to hide from Nita¡¯s perception. Of course, even a level-4 demon would not be able to defeat Nita¡¯s ability. Just the light of purification alone had a natural suppression on the demon¡¯s domain. Moreover, Nita¡¯s level was already close to peak of level-4. Moreover, Nita¡¯s ability was more comprehensive! In the demon¡¯s domain, one could see that the ancient villages were rapidly being destroyed. In the battle between the demon¡¯s domain and Nita, this demon had already been completely defeated! Suddenly, a voice rang out. The moment this voice rang out, the surrounding scenery changed once again. Nita¡¯s light of purification was in the center, still open and not dissipating. A small part of the outer area was the demon region, which was the ancient village. However, outside the ancient village, a desolate building suddenly appeared. This desolate building looked a bit like a grand hall but it did not look like a base. There was a dark red courtyard wall surrounding it. Outside the courtyard wall were lush grass and trees. Facing it was a road covered with blue stones and many towering ancient trees on both sides. At the end of this road was a stone-shaped gate. The gate was carved very meticulously, and one could see the ancient patterns within. ¡°Kacha¡­ Kacha¡­¡± Rhythmic sounds continuously sounded from within the door. It sounded very strange. In the wilderness, no, in the demonic domain of the demons, why would there be a hall? ¡®Could there be a demon hidden there?¡¯ Lorne thought. He looked up and saw a black plaque on the door! On the plaque, there were four words. ¡°Hell of Boulder Crushing? One of the 18 levels of hell!¡± Lorne muttered to himself. Was not this the eleventh level of the legendary 18 levels of hell, Hell of Boulder Crushing? ¡°Using the 18 levels of hell to transform into a demonic domain, this demon is not any ordinary demon!¡± At this moment, Lorne realized that the confrontation of the surrounding demonic domains had stopped. That demon was rapidly flying toward the door of the stone hell. Meanwhile, Nita also withdrew her light of purification and walked toward the door. ¡°Something¡¯s wrong! Nita, come back!¡± Lorne shouted. ¡°Kacha¡­ Kacha¡­¡± In the surroundings, sounds that sounded like bones being broken constantly rang out. This sound lingered in Lorne¡¯s ears, causing him to have the thought of walking toward the door of the stone hell. This thought became even more intense! ¡°What kind of ability is this? It¡¯s definitely not that demon from the beginning. A level-4 demon can¡¯t possibly have such a powerful ability!¡± Lorne quickly took out a tissue and plugged into his ears. This was much more comfortable. However, after plugging into his ears, he saw that the demon had already flown toward the door. Nita had also arrived at the door of the Hell of Boulder Crushing, and one of her feet was about to step in. Lorne¡¯s gaze also swept across the door of the Hell of Boulder Crushing. There was something red jumping on the ground as if it wanted to jump out, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier at the door, firmly holding the red thing in place. ¡°Kacha¡­ Kacha¡­¡± The strange sound was still ringing as if it had become the only sound in the world! ¡°Don¡¯t let Nita in. Nita, wake up!¡± Lorne rushed forward fiercely and shouted. Nita paused. Then, Lorne rushed forward quickly and grabbed her hand! However, it did not seem to work. Nita¡¯s strength was frighteningly strong. Even with Lorne¡¯s current strength, he could not hold her. He saw that her figure was slowly approaching the door. Seeing that he could not hold her, Lorne reacted quickly. With a thought, he instantly added all the experience points to Nita¡¯s level. Immediately, Nita¡¯s level rose to level-5. The pure light of purification lit up automatically. Nita seemed to have woken up from another dimension. ¡°Come back!¡± Then, Lorne grabbed Nita with both hands and pulled hard. There was a flash of light in her eyes. The next second, Nita reacted and directly formed angel¡¯s eye on her back. However, Nita had one more action. That was, her small hand suddenly reached into the door of the Hell of Boulder Crushing and grabbed at the red thing that stopped at the door. She pulled it out. Then, Lorne used all his strength to pull Nita back. As he used too much strength, they stumbled backward several meters. Lorne almost fell. ¡°Kacha¡­ Kacha¡­¡± The moment Nita was pulled back, the strange sound also slowly disappeared. Lorne looked around. The building was rapidly dispersing. The gate with the words Hell of Crushing Boulder was also quickly disappearing. ¡°It left?¡± Lorne seemed to see the demon kneeling in front of a white stone pillar that was rolling at a constant speed in an empty space in the Hell of Crushing Boulder. It did not have any intention of dodging. In the next second, the building completely disappeared. ¡°Nita, are you okay?¡± Lorne looked at his little elf. Nita turned around and looked at Lorne. Then, she raised her hands. Lorne saw the thing in her hands. It was a pair of red eyes that were full of violence and gave off a demonic light! Nita had grabbed it from the gate of the stone hell! ¡°Red Eyes.¡± Lorne took the bewitching eye from Nita¡¯s hand. The eye that was jumping at the entrance of the Hell of Boulder Crushing was now quiet, like a pair of ordinary glass beads.. Chapter 34 - Second Elf Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡®Is this a demon or a spirit artifact or something?¡¯ Lorne thought. At first glance, Lorne felt that the eyes were filled with an ominous aura, but now that he looked at them again, they were indeed ordinary. They were similar to glass beads. When he pinched them, they felt cold and hard. No matter what it was, no one gave Lorne an answer. Recalling the scene earlier, it was definitely the most terrifying thing Lorne had ever seen. Even a level-4 demon was brought into it without any resistance. Lorne had always been respectful toward the unknown. It should not be with that demon, or else he might not be able to come back. ¡°Be careful!¡± Lorne did not know that when Nita brought out the eyeballs from the entrance of the Hell of Boulder Crushing, the middle-aged woman and the other three people on the other side suddenly had a drastic change in expression. That was because they saw a dark red shadow rushing toward them rapidly in the sky. ¡°That demon has discovered us, get ready for battle!¡± The middle-aged woman had already summoned her elves and was ready to attack at any moment! Just as they were prepared to fight as if they were facing a great enemy, the red light flashed past their heads without stopping. ¡°Eh?¡± The middle-aged woman was stunned. The other spirit envoys beside her also did not expect that they were not the target of the red light! ¡°It changed its direction!¡± ¡°Could it be that the thing it¡¯s looking for has appeared?¡± ¡°Did you guys see its appearance?¡± ¡°It¡¯s too fast. I think I saw a red dress.¡± ¡°You must be so nervous that you¡¯re hallucinating. How can a demon wear clothes!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Chase it, I¡¯ll inform the President!¡± The middle-aged woman and the other spirit envoys chased in the direction of the red light while quickly taking out their communicators to contact President Xiao. ¡°Eh, Sister Xia, it¡¯s stopped!¡± However, the group of people did not get far before they saw the red light suddenly stop. This time, they saw it clearly. The demon that they had been tracking for several days was indeed wearing red clothes all over. However, its appearance could not be seen clearly. The red-clothed demon only paused for a moment before flying in another direction. ¡°Leave it there for now.¡± On the other side, Lorne threw the pair of red eyeballs into the storage space. The system¡¯s storage space was a relatively static space that could isolate everything. After the two sisters reached level-4, Lorne had another storage space that could be shared with the elves. This space was not big and it could only hold a small amount of things. Moreover, the state of this storage space was different from Lorne¡¯s. It was not a state where time stood still, but a normal state. For example, if food and other things were put in, they would rot over time. Lorne had placed spirit tools like the Lich¡¯s Scepter in it. This way, Nita and the others could use it whenever they needed and so did Lorne. At the same time, after the surrounding environment returned to its original, Dina¡¯s side had also finished the battle. The Metal Elf of the spirit envoy had already been killed by Dina. With the death of the elf, the spirit envoy, as its master, naturally could not escape death. Dina was currently absorbing the surrounding spirit energy with her eyes closed. Lorne had only known that after killing a demon, there would be residual spirit energy for the elves to absorb. He had not expected that the elf of the spirit envoy would also have spirit energy after death. The concentration of the spirit energy seemed to be even purer. After throwing the eyeballs into the storage space, Lorne realized that Nita seemed to have changed after she advanced to level-5. ¡°Nita seems to have grown a lot taller!¡± Lorne looked up and down and realized that Nita, who was only the size of a palm before, was now as tall as his arm. ¡°As her strength increases, will the elf¡¯s body change as well?¡± He opened the attribute panel. [ Companion elf: Light Elf (Nita) ] [ Aptitude: 5 stars ] [ Level: 5] [ Abilities: Healing level-3, Purification level-3, Angel¡¯s Eye level-3, Light¡¯s Protection level-3, Quantum Laser level-1 ] Nita once again gained another ability. [ Quantum Laser level-1: Nita¡¯s exclusive spirit domain space. After activating the spirit domain, you can sense the movements of all creatures, and can simultaneously increase the attributes of three targets by 30%! ] ¡°Hiss¡­!¡± Lorne took a deep breath. This ability was a little overbearing! Looking at Nita¡¯s obedient face, Lorne could not help but feel proud. This was his own elf and it¡¯s very strong! At the same time, Lorne also discovered that the experience required to advance had actually quadrupled. Previously, Lorne had spent a total of 2,600 experience to advance to level-5. If he advanced to the next level, he would actually need 8,000 experience! ¡®F*ck, this is daylight robbery!¡¯ Lorne screamed in his heart. Although it was uncomfortable, he still had to advance to the next level. After Nita reached level-5, her various abilities were strengthened once again. She could even open up the magical realm. Then, Lorne saw a line of text at the bottom of the system. ¡°Increase mission for the elf?¡± Lorne thought for a moment and clicked on the quest. [ Second elf mission: the host successfully binds the second elf to complete the mission. Mission reward: Cleansing Pill *2,2000 experience. ] [ Hint: the elf sleeping in the magic lamp is quietly waiting to be awaken by its owner. ] ¡°The second elf¡­¡± Lorne whispered. Other than the spirit body, there were very few who had a second elf. ¡®According to the system¡¯s hint, I have to find a scattered magic lamp first,¡¯ Lorne thought for a moment. There were no magic lamps in the base city because the discovered magic lamps would be taken in by newborn babies. Otherwise, the Federation would use special containers to take them in and protect them. There might be traces of magic lamps in some places outside the city. Moreover, the Federation had specialized personnel searching for magic lamps in the outer city. Once they discovered them, they would immediately notify the people in the city to come and take them in. Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary spirit envoys would find it extremely difficult to find an ownerless magic lamp. ¡°There¡¯s no rush. Let¡¯s first increase our strength and then we can go to further places outside the city to search. At that time, we won¡¯t have to worry about encountering an ownerless magic lamp.¡± According to the consensus of this world, only spirits could control multiple elves. It was also necessary to have a balance of power between the elves. If the two elves¡¯ strengths were too far apart, it was very easy for the elves to have a backlash. A backlash was a very fatal incident to a spirit envoy However, Lorne did not know what it was exactly. He knew about spirit body as this term was mentioned in the group chat before. With the system, everything was simple.. Chapter 35 - Entrapment! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Oh right, system!¡± Lorne patted his head. He was now the system¡¯s host. He was much more powerful than the spirit body. Since the second elf mission had been given out, the system would definitely not give him a problem where he could suffer a backlash at any time. Besides, he obtained his twin elves previously. Every time Lorne leveled them up, he did so separately so he did not feel any abnormal reactions. Lorne felt relieved when he thought of this. Then, he thought of something again, took out his phone, and opened the communication channel. A notice attracted Lorne¡¯s attention. ¡°Attention: 70 kilometers south of the base city, a demon lair has been discovered!¡± ¡°Warning: 30 kilometers south of the base city, the demon leader of the lair is flying toward the direction in the map. To all spirit envoys, safety first!¡± Lorne opened the map attached to the announcement. He was shocked. Was it not the direction the demon was heading toward previously? ¡°Wasn¡¯t that middle-aged woman chasing the demon? Could it be that the demon has changed its direction again? It can¡¯t be that it¡¯s coming to my location!¡± Lorne did not dare to stay any longer when he thought of the series of strange events that had happened just now. He summoned Dina, who had just finished absorbing the aura, and Nita. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s leave this place first.¡± After putting away his things, Lorne got on his small motorcycle and left quickly. When he left, he also took away Hehai¡¯s communication device and some things In just a few minutes, Lorne had departed about a kilometer away from the hill. Then he stopped and looked at the direction from where he had left. After waiting there for a while, a red light flashed in the sky. ¡°It¡¯s coming!¡± Lorne hid. Nita also came out from the space of the magic lamp and looked into the distance like Lorne. Lorne could not help but smile at her cautious look. Soon, Lorne saw a figure dressed entirely in red appeared in the sky above where he had been standing. ¡°Is this the powerful demon that the Federation mentioned? It doesn¡¯t seem like it.¡± Lorne muttered to himself. The purpose of this figure coming here was unknown, regardless of whether it was the demon that had caused the entire Jiang City to panic. From Nita¡¯s reaction, Lorne knew that this figure in the distance was abnormally powerful. Furthermore, Nita¡¯s perception toward demons was abnormally keen. From his telepathic perception, Lorne was certain that this figure in front of him was most likely the powerful demon that the Federation had mentioned. Furthermore, Lorne was now certain of one thing. This figure¡¯s sudden arrival must have something to do with the strange Hell of Boulder Crushing that he had encountered previously! It was more likely that it was directly related to the eyeballs that Nita brought out from within. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why this figure appeared right after Lorne had left. From the looks of it, it seemed like this figure was looking for something. ¡®To be able to cause such a huge reaction in Jiang City, it must be at least a level-8 demon. But how did a level-8 demon get in from the border?¡¯ Lorne thought for a moment. The demons that occasionally got in from outside the base city were mostly ordinary level-2 or level-3 demons. There were many of these demons, so it was normal for them to occasionally get in, but they could not threaten the city¡¯s order. However, it was different if they were level-6 or above. These demons were powerful and they were usually commander-level demons. They were the focus of the border defense. Unless the border defense collapsed, it was impossible for a high-level demon to sneak in and only be discovered until now. Just as Lorne was thinking, Hehai¡¯s communication device vibrated. Lorne picked it up and saw a message. He opened the message. ¡°Hehai, how¡¯s the situation on your side? D*mn it, Boss and I are forty minutes late. Lorne is sneaky and ran away again! When I catch him, I¡¯ll definitely chop off his legs first so he won¡¯t be able to run away anymore!¡± ¡°I almost forgot about you two guys.¡± Lorne first encountered a strange incident and then launched a new elf mission. He had forgotten about the guy who wanted to kill him. ¡°Since you guys are so eager to find me, then let¡¯s settle everything today!¡± Lorne began to think of a way. Not long after, Lorne had a plan. Then, he picked up Hehai¡¯s communicator and sent a message: ¡°I¡¯m still here. Come back.¡± After that, Lorne put down the communicator and quietly observed the red figure. The red figure stayed there for a few minutes. Probably not feeling what it was looking for, it turned into a red light again and rushed in one direction. After the red figure left, Lorne ran to Iron Valley Mountain. Soon, Lorne reached the halfway point of the mountain. At this time, the sky had completely darkened. Lorne did not set up a tent. He lay down against a tree branch to rest. Nita sat beside him and quietly looked down the mountain. Ten minutes later, a small hand tugged at the hem of Lorne¡¯s clothes. Lorne opened his eyes. Under the moonlight, Lorne saw a few figures appear at the foot of Iron Valley Mountain. ¡°They really came after us,¡± Lorne muttered. It was the middle-aged woman who led the spirit envoy group Lorne had met before. The middle-aged woman and the others stayed at the foot of Iron Valley Mountain for a while before leaving again. Lorne continued to close his eyes and rest. After more than three hours, it was already late at night. Lorne opened his eyes, took out Hehai¡¯s communicator, and sent a message: ¡°Boss, come quickly. I see Lorne but he¡¯s resting. It seems that he¡¯s preparing to go up the mountain tomorrow morning to deal with that demon.¡± As soon as this message was sent, the other party immediately sent a message: ¡°As expected, he went to Iron Valley Mountain. This kid is really ruthless. He actually traveled through the night! You keep watch. We¡¯ll be right there. Let¡¯s attack together and make it difficult for him to escape!¡± ¡°Done.¡± Lorne closed his eyes and continued to rest. ¡°Lorne really went to the Iron Valley Mountain. Let¡¯s go. This time, he¡¯s dead for sure.¡± On the other side, the square-faced man woke up Yuanlong and the bald man. The bald man glanced at his communication device and said, ¡°Your companion sent you a message. Why didn¡¯t my subordinates send me a message?¡± ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this normal? They¡¯ve been squatting for so long. They must be bored so they gathered together. Since they know Hehai sent me a message, why would they send it to you again?¡± The square-faced man said, ¡°Let¡¯s quickly go back and kill him while he¡¯s resting. The earlier we complete the mission, the earlier we can go back. I always feel uneasy outside here. What if we encounter the demon that the Federation mentioned?¡± After saying that, the few of them began to head toward Iron Valley Mountain. ¡°President, that demon has changed its direction twice in a row today. I think it must¡¯ve discovered something..¡± Chapter 36 - Zhu Yuehong’s Video Call Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Late at night. The middle-aged woman stopped at a small hill with a few people. There was a man next to her. This man was none other than President Xiao. Zhu Yuehong was also at the side. Apparently, after they heard the middle-aged woman¡¯s report, they also left the city overnight. ¡°It changed its direction twice? In that case, the thing it was looking for might have appeared, but it might have disappeared for some reason or gone into hiding.¡± President Xiao speculated. ¡°I think that should be the case,¡± the middle-aged woman said. President Xiao said, ¡°At night, its ability became stronger. It¡¯s a little difficult for you to track it down. You guys have been chasing it for several days. Take this opportunity to have a good rest. Have you guys seen its form?¡± The middle-aged woman said, ¡°No, its entire body is covered in red clothes. Its body shape is very similar to that of a human. It should be a demon in its metamorphosis period.¡± ¡°Metamorphosis stage? Things are getting more and more troublesome! That¡¯s all. You guys take a rest first.¡± President Xiao¡¯s expression turned ugly. ¡°Yes, President!¡± After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she sent a picture over through the communication device. It was the square-faced man, bald man, and a few others. ¡°These guys want to harm Lorne!¡± On the other side, President Xiao¡¯s gaze turned cold and the aura on his body started to change. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, teacher?¡± Zhu Yuehong asked from the side. ¡°Do you still remember Lorne? He¡¯s not a spirit body. A few days after he awakened, he advanced his companion elf to level-3 and he even completed several grade-B missions consecutively. His elves must be very outstanding. Now, a team of spirit envoys from the wild have their eyes on him. They¡¯re preparing to kill him and snatch his elves,¡± President Xiao stood up and said. ¡°These guys are too arrogant. They¡¯re really unscrupulous!¡± Zhu Yuehong snorted lightly. ¡°Let¡¯s go to Iron Valley Mountain.¡± While president Xiao and Zhu Yuehong were talking, on the tree branch, Lorne had already woken up. Hehai¡¯s communication device vibrated. Lorne opened it and saw that it was a message from the other party! ¡°Hehai, we¡¯re almost there. How¡¯s Lorne? Is he still there?¡± ¡°Is he here?¡± Lorne looked down the mountain. His physical fitness was now five times that of an ordinary person. His eyesight was naturally quite good. Lorne waited for a while before picking up Hehai¡¯s communicator and replying: ¡°Lorne is still here. He¡¯s sleeping in a pavilion at the foot of the mountain. You guys come up to the top of the mountain first.¡± ¡°Okay! We¡¯ll be there in half an hour at most.¡± ¡°Half an hour?¡± Lorne jumped down from the tree branch and was ready to move. Suddenly, Lorne¡¯s phone vibrated. ¡°Lord Hong?¡± Zhu Yuehong¡¯s pretty face appeared on the communication device. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me,¡± Zhu Yuehong said. Her voice was rather pleasant to the ear. Zhu Yuehong sized Lorne up with her eyes, and then her gaze lingered on Nita for a few seconds. ¡°Your elf is indeed extraordinary. You¡¯ve grown to such a level in such a short period of time. Moreover, the connection between the two of you seems to be beyond imagination. I¡¯m starting to suspect that you¡¯re another spirit that¡¯s even rarer,¡± Zhu Yuehong said. Hearing her words, Lorne did not refute her. For an ordinary person to grow so fast, it was indeed a little abnormal. If others were willing to imagine it, then they could imagine it themselves. It would save Lorne some trouble. ¡°You¡¯re also looking for that demon?¡± Lorne asked. Zhu Yuehong said, ¡°That¡¯s right. You seem to be very lucky as well. You haven¡¯t met it all this while. But now, your trouble has come. Some spirit envoys have their eyes on you. There¡¯s a way down the mountain from here. You go west. I¡¯m on my way. I can help you deal with them.¡± ¡°Trouble? You mean those spirit envoys who came from the east?¡± Lorne asked lightly when he heard Zhu Yuehong¡¯s words. Zhu Yuehong¡¯s bright eyes were filled with surprise. ¡°You know?¡± Lorne said, ¡°Of course, I know.¡± Zhu Yuehong looked at Lorne in surprise again and said, ¡°You¡¯re still there even though you know? You don¡¯t think you can deal with them, do you?¡± Lorne did not answer her question. Instead, he looked at her and asked, ¡°How confident are you that you can deal with that demon?¡± Although Lorne did not answer her question but asked about the demon instead, Zhu Yuehong still answered out of admiration for Lorne, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. I haven¡¯t fought it head-on, but we know that its strength should be above level-8!¡± Level-8 demon! In that case, the red figure was definitely the demon. Zhu Yuehong continued. ¡°The most troublesome thing about this demon is its ability to escape. It has escaped the encirclement of several emissaries, and I haven¡¯t been able to catch up with it. Recently, one of my elves is in a period of metamorphosis, and its combat strength has weakened quite a bit. If we meet it head-on, it might be 50-50!¡± 50-50! Lorne had already gotten the answer he wanted. He sized the other party up and asked, ¡°So, you¡¯re a spirit body?¡± Zhu Yuehong¡¯s voice unconsciously had a hint of pride. ¡°Of course! ¡°I¡¯m also the vice president of the Spirit Envoys Alliance. The west of Jiang City is under my protection. Lorne, I¡¯ve taken a fancy to you¡­ Ahem, don¡¯t misunderstand. I admire you very much. You can join the Spirit Envoys Alliance. Later, I¡¯ll get you the identity of an assistant. How about it?¡± Zhu Yuehong blinked as she spoke, appearing rather mischievous. Lorne shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not interested.¡± Zhu Yuehong did not give up. ¡°It¡¯s just an identity. It can be very convenient. For example, you can use some of my authority. You can also know immediately if there are any powerful demons or the like.¡± Lorne thought about it and did not agree immediately. He said calmly, ¡°We¡¯ll see. So, you¡¯re on your way here?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, but we¡¯ll probably take more than forty minutes to get there. It¡¯s still not too late for you to leave now.¡± Lorne shook his head and said, ¡°No need.¡± With that, Lorne began to walk down the mountain. ¡°What are you planning to do? Don¡¯t court death!¡± Lorne did not continue to answer her and directly shut off the communication. According to Lorne¡¯s judgment, the Red Demon was very interested in the eyeballs that he had obtained. If he did not get rid of the demon, one day, the demon might discover that he had something it wanted. Rather than worrying about the demon coming for him, he might as well think of a way to get rid of it! Originally, Lorne had planned to use the middle-aged woman, but now it seemed that Zhu Yuehong was the one who was truly chasing the Red Demon. Then, Lorne could use Zhu Yuehong. That was why Lorne had asked about her confidence in dealing with the demon.. Chapter 37 - One Person Killing Four Spirit Envoys Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Yes, Lorne was worried that if this demon was too fierce, it would not be good if it killed Zhu Yuehong. However, since Zhu Yuehong said she had a 50/50 chance, Lorne could carry out his plan without worry. He would use the eyeballs to lure the red demon and then let Zhu Yuehong kill it! That would be very safe! Lorne thought as he walked all the way to the top of the mountain and sat down. ¡°Could it be that he wants to ambush them?¡± On the other side, President Xiao suddenly thought of something and could not help but exclaim. After all, Lorne being able to raise his elf to level-3 in such a short period of time was already shocking enough. In President Xiao¡¯s opinion, Lorne was very likely another type of spirit body that was not easy to detect and was even more powerful. That kind of spirit body could be called a hidden spirit body. It was even more powerful than an ordinary innate spirit body. In this world, once an innate spirit body appeared, it would be taken away from a young age to be nurtured for more than ten years. When they were in their teens, some spirit bodies would be able to directly awaken and control level-2 or even level-3 elves. However, an invisible spirit body was even rare. Now, seeing Lorne¡¯s attitude, he was actually preparing to ambush those spirit envoys. President Xiao was naturally quite shocked. ¡°Could it be¡­ His elf has already advanced to Level-4?¡± Zhu Yuehong could not help but ask. President Xiao didn not answer her. Instead, he took out a bottle of water and drank it. Although her teacher did not answer her, Zhu Yuehong had basically confirmed it after seeing her teacher¡¯s calm expression. ¡®It¡¯s definitely an invisible spirit body!¡¯ President Xiao thought to himself. His eyes brightened. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet such a genius!¡± At this moment, following the sound of an emergency brake, a black SUV stopped not far in front of Lorne. The car door opened and four people got out of the car. ¡°Kid, you finally let us stop you!¡± the bald spirit envoy who got out of the car grinned, showing his big yellow teeth, and said with a ferocious expression. ¡®Are these the hired spirit envoys?¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. The other party¡¯s four people all looked to be in their thirties or forties. At this moment, they finally managed to block Lorne. The four of them looked very happy. However, they realized that something was wrong. ¡°Where¡¯s Hehai?!¡± the square-faced man asked in a deep voice. As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man also realized that something was wrong. Lorne had appeared here openly as if he had been waiting for them in advance. What about his men? The few of them frowned. Their vigilance was at its highest. Hehai had just sent them a message half an hour ago, asking them to come to this small hill. Who would have thought that after they arrived, Lorne would be the only one left here! How could they not be vigilant? ¡°Answer me. Where are the others?¡± The square-faced man¡¯s eyes darkened, and a sense of unease flashed through his heart. ¡°Idiot, Hehai is definitely dead. I already said that there¡¯s something wrong with this kid. How could we fail to catch up to him twice in a row? He killed Hehai and two of my subordinates. What are you waiting for? Attack together!¡± the bald man said in a deep voice. His voice had just faded when their elves came out! Dina and Nita had already launched their attacks without a sound. The scenery around them changed drastically in an instant! The wilderness turned into a boundless expanse of whiteness! Nita¡¯s spirit domain was activated! As soon as Nita¡¯s spirit domain was activated, Lorne disappeared from the sight of the bald man and the others. In fact, Lorne was still standing there without moving, but Nita had used the spirit domain to hide him. ¡°Baldy and I will hold off his elves. You destroy this spirit domain and kill Lorne first!¡± the square-faced man said. Their goal was to kill Lorne and take away his elves. Elves could be taken away when the restrictions were not high. Once the restrictions were high, it was basically impossible to take them away. This was because if the restrictions were high, if you killed the spirit envoy, the elves would fight you to the death. Although Yuanlong¡¯s elf was only level-3, his elf had a special ability. That was the eye of truth. Regardless of whether it was destroying the magic or spirit domains, it would be extremely fast! Therefore, the square-faced man immediately made a battle plan. ¡°Alright!¡± As soon as square-faced man¡¯s voice fell, Yuanlong¡¯s elf took action. The elf was a black figure. The elves of the square-faced man along with the bald man and his subordinates pounced on Nita. At the same time, Yuanlong¡¯s elf had already opened his own spirit domain to fight against Nita¡¯s. However, the square-faced man revealed a startling shock as if he had seen a ghost. That was because he saw an elf behind Nita. It was Dina! Then, he saw that his elf seemed to be restrained by something and was facing Dina¡¯s attack without moving! ¡°Not good!¡± the square-faced man shouted! In a battle between elves of the same level, this kind of control-type skill was the most feared. It could always play a crucial role on the battlefield! The square-faced man¡¯s elf was in danger! His elf let out a shrill cry as spirit energy surged out of its body, trying to break the binding. In front of Dina, there was nothing he could do! ¡°Help me!¡± the square-faced man cried out. His face had already become extremely ugly. The square-faced man had never expected that Lorne¡¯s elf was actually so strong to the point that he could only ask the bald man for help. Yuanlong¡¯s elf was good at spirit domain so it was capable of destroying it. As long as it destroyed the spirit domain first, it would not be a problem for them to work together to deal with Lorne¡¯s elf. ¡­ However, it was too late! Dina instantly rushed in front of the square-faced man¡¯s elf. Then, with a wave of her small hand, an energy blade flew out. Hula! Accompanied by a shrill cry, the square-faced man¡¯s elf was forcefully chopped into pieces by Dina! ¡°Ahhhhhh!¡± Seeing his elf being killed, the square-faced man went crazy! Meanwhile, on the other side, Yuanlong was also dumbfounded. He thought that he would be able to destroy Nita¡¯s spirit domain very quickly. Who would have thought that Nita¡¯s spirit domain was exceptionally strong? It was so strong that Yuanlong¡¯s elf had no way of destroying it.. Chapter 38 - I Hate Left-handers Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was fine if the square-faced man could not destroy Lorne. Who knew that he would lose so quickly! The square-faced man had a level-4 spirit elf which was extremely powerful! However, it did not even last a minute in Dina¡¯s hands! Yuanlong was instantly stunned! He could not believe his eyes at all! Immediately, Yuanlong felt a chill run down his spine because Dina had arrived! The Light Elves did not look scary at all. In fact, they were rather cute. However, in Yuanlong¡¯s eyes, Nita had already become a nightmarish existence! In the next second, Nita appeared next to Yuanlong¡¯s elf and gently pointed with her small hands. ¡°What¡¯s going on? The demon¡¯s lair is in a riot?¡± President Xiao was currently holding his phone and talking to the other party. His face was solemn. ¡°The cause of the riot is unknown. What¡¯s the direction of their movement? What? Outpost No. 11?!¡± After a while, President Xiao hung up the phone and said to Zhu Yuehong with a solemn expression, ¡°We can¡¯t go to Iron Valley Mountain for the time being. The demon lair is in a riot. The direction of the demons is Outpost No. 11!¡± ¡°Then¡­ What about Lorne?¡± President Xiao shook his head. ¡°He shouldn¡¯t be that kind of reckless young man. He must¡¯ve his own way to deal with it. Besides, we can¡¯t care about him now. Hopefully, he does have the ability to deal with it alone!¡± President Xiao looked at the sky. ¡°Now, return to Outpost No. 11. Gather all the available spirit envoys and start guarding!¡± ¡°Yes, Teacher!¡± Zhu Yuehong looked in Lorne¡¯s direction and sighed silently in her heart. ¡°I hope you can come back safely. We agreed to give you the identity of an assistant!¡± The two of them immediately turned the car around and rushed toward Outpost No. 11. ¡°Have mercy on me, Little Brother. We were obsessed and shouldn¡¯t have provoked you. Please be magnanimous and let me go.¡± Yuanlong looked like he was begging for mercy. He was extremely scared! Seeing that Lorne had not said anything, he thought Lorne was still considering. Lorne was indeed considering, but he was not considering whether or not to let him go. How could he let him go?! Lorne had killed the others so he naturally would not do let the last of them go. He was not that magnanimous. He would not have the slightest mercy or kindness toward his enemies. These people, they were not worthy! What Lorne was really considering was who was behind them and who was the mastermind. At this moment, Yuanlong looked at Lorne with a perturbed expression. ¡°I have a few questions for you,¡± Lorne said. ¡°Feel free to ask!¡± At this moment, Yuanlong did not dare to disobey Lorne. He was afraid that if he angered him, he would lose his life! ¡°Who hired you to kill me?¡± Lorne asked. ¡°Li Luoyun, the black-grade spirit envoy from Demon Subduing Division. She offered 300,000 contribution points and told us to deal with you! And that bald man you killed over there. They claimed to be from Outpost No. 12. It was also arranged by Li Luoyun to kill you!¡± Yuanlong did not hesitate to betray his employer. He had been reduced to this state. All were dead except him. A large part of the reason was because of Li Luoyun. If not for the fact that he did not have the ability to take revenge, they would have torn that stinky woman apart! Thus, when he betrayed Li Luoyun, he did not feel the slightest bit of psychological burden. He even hoped that Lorne would find trouble with Li Luoyun! When that time came, regardless of which side died, it would be good news for him. It really was that woman! Lorne was not surprised by this answer. The reason he asked was just to confirm it. ¡°Second question. How did you know my location in the beginning?¡± This was what Lorne was curious about. Yuanlong did not have any GPS device on him. How did these guys know his location? ¡°It was Zhang Nian. It was that guy who betrayed you!¡± Yuanlong said. Zhang Nian? Lorne recalled and realized that he did not know this person at all. It was not until the person in front of him pulled out a photo from his phone and saw the person in the photo that Lorne remembered. Was not this the middle-aged spirit envoy who suddenly disappeared outside the church ruins? So, it was him! ¡°That¡­ Do you have anything else to ask?¡± Yuanlong looked at Lorne with a perturbed face and asked carefully. At this moment, Lorne glanced at him and said indifferently, ¡°No, you can leave now.¡± Yuanlong¡¯s face was full of the surprise of having survived a disaster. He even thought that as expected, Lorne was still a child. He did not know the principle of eradicating the root of the problem. However, it was good that he did not know about it! If it were those ruthless old guys, how could he survive? ¡°Thank you! Thank you for not killing me, Little Brother!!!¡± Yuanlong¡¯s face was full of gratitude. ¡°Not killing you?¡± Lorne chuckled and asked casually, ¡°Oh right, do you usually use your left hand or right hand to carry things?¡± ¡°Left hand, I¡¯m left-handed,¡± Yuanlong did not think too much and answered truthfully. Stab! A dagger was pulled out from Lorne¡¯s back and pierced through Yuanlong¡¯s heart. Yuanlong looked at this scene in disbelief. ¡°Why¡­ Why?¡± Lorne looked at him. With a calm expression, he answered, ¡°I hate left-handed people the most.¡± Yuanlong: ¡°¡­¡± Thump! The corpse that had died with its eyes wide open fell to the ground. This time, the entire army was annihilated. After resting for a while, Lorne was ready to return to the base city. It was time to go back and have a good rest. Not long after, at the foot of the mountain, Lorne suddenly stopped. From afar, he saw monstrous demonic qi surging into the sky. Waves of violent howls resounded. ¡°What happened?¡± Lorne looked at this scene in surprise. At this moment, a large number of demons had appeared on the horizon in the distance. They carried a billowing baleful aura as they howled. They seemed to be in a hurry to be reincarnated as they flew in the same direction.. Chapter 39 - Advancement Once Again Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°So many demons are moving out together!¡± Lorne¡¯s eyes widened. He had never seen such a thing even in books. Generally speaking, demons rarely appeared in groups, unless there was a special situation like a demon lair. But that was only because of external factors that the demons were forced to gather. Now, unbound demons actually appeared together in groups. This truly refreshed Lorne¡¯s worldview! ¡°Could it be¡­ The demon lair that the Federation discovered has gone berserk?!¡± As the large group of demons continued to approach, Lorne¡¯s eyes shone brightly. ¡°Isn¡¯t this a good opportunity to gain a large amount of experience points!?¡± The two sisters, who shared the same thoughts as Lorne, immediately came out. Nita¡¯s spirit domain opened and directly swallowed dozens of demons that had already entered its range. After entering the spirit domain, the demons only saw a vast expanse of white light flash before their bodies shattered. They did not even last for a moment before their souls were destroyed. [ Ding~! ] [ Your elf Nita instantly killed a level-3 demon. Obtained 200 experience points! ] [ Ding~! ] [ Your elf Nita instantly killed a level-4 demon. Obtained 400 experience points! ] [ Ding~! ] ¡°¡­¡± The system notification kept ringing in Lorne¡¯s mind. Looking at the string of numbers that represented the experience points soaring continuously, the smile on Lorne¡¯s face became even more brilliant. ¡°Good job!¡± Nita and Dina¡¯s lethality was extremely high. Together, they could instantly kill a demon of the same level. In the blink of an eye, Lorne had gained more than 500 experience points. Most of the demons were only at normal level, and a small number of level-4 demons were mixed in. However, this was only the beginning! There were at least hundreds and thousands of demons in this swarm of demons. Some of them were at level-4. There were no level-5 or higher demons, but it was enough. As the two elves continued the killing spree, the demons did not seem to know what fear was. They kept rushing into Nita¡¯s spirit domain as if they were seeking death. Lorne watched as Nita clawed at a large area. Almost every second, several demons were pierced through, resulting in their souls dissipating. The same situation was the same for Dina as well. This continued for more than ten minutes. Hundreds of demons were killed by the two sisters, with the exception of a few that escaped the domain. Lorne looked at his experience points. A total of 6,750 experience points! One had to know, before this, Lorne only had 250 experience points left. In other words, this wave of demons that came to him brought Lorne a total of 6,500 experience points. Lorne, who had never had so many experience points before, was so happy that the corners of his mouth could not close. ¡°Add points, you must add points!¡± Lorne immediately summoned the sisters¡¯ virtual interface, and then clicked on Dina¡¯s level bar. After using 2,600 experience points, Dina¡¯s level was raised to level-5. At this time, Lorne also felt a warm current appear out of thin air in his body. In the blink of an eye, it flowed through his entire body, and a feeling of explosive strength followed. Lorne knew that it was the outcome from leveling up, just like the previous time. Next, Lorne focused on the skills of the two sisters. He tapped a few more times. The skill levels of the two sisters had almost all risen to level-4! At the same time, it gave them more potential to level up. It was already a high-grade talent among the elves. In the entire Jiang City, it could be said that it was the only one! Looking at the remaining experience points, there were still 900 points left. Lorne thought for a moment and tapped on the spirit weapon Lich Scepter. [ Spirit weapon +2 ] There were still 300 points left. Lorne tapped on the spirit weapon dagger again. [ Soul Capturing Dagger +1! ] There were only 100 points left. ¡°Let¡¯s go back!¡± The two sisters, whose bodies were filled with spirit energy, crossed the distance between the two of them and returned to Lorne¡¯s side. Looking at the two sisters, whose strength had increased by a large margin, Lorne carefully observed the changes in their bodies. ¡®Their auras have become even more terrifying. I wonder if they can fight against a level-6 demon head-on?¡¯ Lorne thought. After all, a level-6 demon was more than several times stronger than a level-5 demon. Even if the sisters were both level-5, they were still far from being able to fight a level-6 demon. Not only they were enhanced by their levels but also by their natural endowments and skill strengths. They were able to display more powerful strength than elves with lower natural endowments! In addition, their talents and skills had also been enhanced. Only now did Lorne think that the strength of the two sisters was probably enough to contend against a level-6 demon. However, because they had not really encounter each other before, Lorne was not confident in his heart. If they were combined with a grade-2 spirit tool, it should be enough to contend against an ordinary grade-6 demon. However, it was probably still not enough against those powerful grade-6 demons! ¡°But soon, after killing so many demons, and after I go back today to exchange for a few high-grade spirit stones for Dina to absorb, I should be able to stabilize my current strength.¡± The strength of a peak level-5 spirit envoy was already at the peak in the entire Jiang City. In the entire River City, there were only a few rare existences that could be counted with two hands. In other words, Lorne¡¯s strength was enough to rank in the top 20 in the entire Jiang City! One had to know that the population of Jiang City was around 2.2 million and the number of spirit envoys had reached more than 150,000. Among the 150,000 spirit envoys, to be able to rank in the top 20, was not that a top-notch feat? Moreover, how long had Lorne officially become a spirit envoy? It had only been a few days, not even a week! If this news got out, it would shock countless people.. Chapter 40 - 6-star Potential Increase Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was even possible that the Federation Government would pay attention to the unusual Lorne. After all, in the Federation¡¯s records, there had never been a monster like Lorne, whose ability to advance was as simple as eating and drinking. Even those super geniuses with deep backgrounds could not compare to Lorne¡¯s speed of advancement. It was still fine before level-4. However, it was a little unjustifiable to advance to level-5 so quickly. ¡°Looks like I can¡¯t move around in the vicinity of the headquarters city in the future. Otherwise, when the spirit energy explodes, people will definitely know that I¡¯ve advanced to level-5.¡± If he was too high-profile, it would affect his life and even attract some unnecessary trouble. That would not be too good. The level of the demons around the base city was too low. It could no longer satisfy Lorne¡¯s appetite. Something seemed to have happened around Jiang City. The situation of the demon riot earlier could definitely explain a lot of problems. Although Lorne was not clear about the specific situation, at this juncture, obviously no one would pay attention to the spirit energy of a sudden riot in a certain place in the wild. They would probably think that it was emitted by a powerful demon! ¡°Oh right, when the sisters advanced, my physical attributes improved by a large margin. It should be the system¡¯s third amplification feedback, right?¡± Thinking to himself, Lorne summoned his virtual interface on the system¡¯s side and looked at it. Lorne discovered something else. [ Name: Lorne ] [ Age: 15] [ Amplification feedback: 4 times ] [ Strength: 30 ] [ Speed: 30 ] [ Vitality: 40 ] [ Spirit: 25 ] [ Bloodline aptitude: 20 (vitality) ] Compared to the last time Lorne checked his basic information, the contents of the interface had changed a lot. His four-dimensional attributes had doubled compared to the last time, reaching 30 points. This was not what surprised Lorne. After all, this was within his expectations. What really surprised Lorne was the number of times he received the amplification feedback as well as the sudden appearance of the bloodline aptitude. Lorne had thought that the number of times he received the amplification feedback should have been three, but now it was showing four. Lorne checked some of the system¡¯s previous notifications and sure enough, he found a notification that he had ignored. [ Your elven potential has increased by six stars. You have received an amplification feedback! ] It was this one. Lorne had thought that it was a notification that the two sisters had killed to gain experience, so he had not paid much attention to it. It was mainly because he had not listened attentively at the time that he had ignored it. Now that he looked at it, there were four amplification feedback. This was the fourth one! ¡®So, there¡¯s not only one feedback buff when I reach level-5. I can even get feedback when my potential increases,¡¯ Lorne thought to himself. He originally thought that there would only be one feedback buff. The next one might only come when the buff reached a higher level. In fact, when the buffs reached level-6, there was indeed a second feedback buff. However, Lorne had overlooked the previous point! ¡°Bloodline aptitude is similar to Nita and the others¡¯ potential attributes, but why does my bloodline aptitude only increase vitality?¡± Lorne was puzzled. He roughly guessed that there was a specialty for bloodline aptitude he specialized in vitality. Therefore, every time he received the amplification feedback, Lorne¡¯s vitality received an additional increase. In the four-dimensional attributes, the other three attributes were all 30 points. Only his physique received 40 points, which was more than the other three attributes! With specialization, there would naturally be an overall development. However, considering that the total value remained unchanged, the overall development might become a situation where each of the four-dimensional attributes would receive an increase of 5 points. Lorne could not say which was better. However, he could not change it! ¡®At least it¡¯s not bad news,¡¯ Lorne thought very optimistically. Without a doubt, the 40 points of physique had brought about a lot of changes to Lorne. Firstly, it was the most obvious point Lorne felt that his entire body was filled with extremely strong endurance! It was not that his endurance was not good in the past. The main thing was that with the contrast, his current condition was even more superior than before. It was just like how he could run thirty kilometers in the past. If he ran again now, he could guarantee that he would not even breathe throughout. This feeling of being reborn would make him feel very comfortable! Lorne¡¯s current feeling was even more obvious than that. He even felt that every breath he took was sweet! This was the improvement of his physique. To put it bluntly, Lorne¡¯s body had become healthier in all aspects. Whether it was his bones, blood or internal organs, they were more full of vitality than before! To a certain extent, Lorne even felt that he might live longer! To a certain extent, one¡¯s physique determined how long one¡¯s body could survive. The higher the constitution, the harder it was for the organs to age. The slower the organs aged, naturally meant that one could live longer. As for the soul aspect, that was another matter. Lorne¡¯s spirit attribute was not low either. The amplification feedback had greatly increased Lorne¡¯s strength. If he were to fight a demon alone, even if it was a level-3 demon, Lorne was now confident that he could win with two fists. As for using his lifeblood to kill a demon, no one had really practiced it, and Lorne was not sure if this method would work. Moreover, he had the useful elves, so why did he have to personally kill a demon? The main reason for his strength to increase was to deal with situations other than demons. In situations against the demon, let the elves do it..
