Just as Lu Jun and Mo Fan were coincidentally cultivating their Summoning Element, reaching a crucial turning point in their lives
In the apartment hall, Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao, upon hearing Vice Captain and teacher Qiu Huayu mention that Mo Fan was strengthening his summoned beast, couldn't help but show jealousy. They repeatedly belittled him, convinced that he would inevitably fail.
"The success rate of advancement is so low, and his Dark Wolf Beast doesn't seem to have anything special. It hasn't appeared for so long most likely, he has already failed."
This sparked concern in the old professor Qiu Huayu, who suggested, "Then let's go check on him."
"Although a Summoner's primary Dimensional Contract isn't tied to their life, the death of a summoned beast can still inflict significant spiritual trauma."
Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao exchanged glances and revealed malicious smiles. They were planning to break in at a crucial moment, interrupting Mo Fan's enhancement process.
Both of them felt an immense sense of crisis. During the Imperial Capital Exchange Competition, the top-ranking Lu had completely ignored them and had directly chosen Mo Fan instead.
And Mo Fan had lived up to expectations—at least, when Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao asked themselves honestly, they knew they couldn't compare to him. If they simply sat back and let Mo Fan continue to grow stronger, what would happen when it came time for the National Institute Selection Battle?
Without delay, the group hurried upstairs, heading straight for Mo Fan's room.
Luo Song, eager to sabotage, took the lead and glanced at the room numbers in the hallway.
Since Mo Fan and Lu Jun's rooms were right next to each other, with just a single-digit difference, he hadn't paid much attention to the exact number.
Coincidentally, one room was exuding a thick aura of darkness and thunder. Remembering that Mo Fan possessed both Shadow and Lightning Elements, Luo Song mistakenly assumed that Mo Fan's summoned beast had lost control and that he was struggling against it. He couldn't hide his glee as he rushed forward and pushed open Lu Jun's door.
If the Slave Wolf Beast's advancement failed, Mo Fan wouldn't just lose a fortune his entire Summoning Element would be ruined.
Woooooo!
Who would have thought that the moment Luo Song opened the door, his entire body would freeze stiff at the entrance? Inside, there was no light only an abyssal darkness, filled with a bone-chilling cold and an overwhelming surge of shadow energy.
The shadows seemed to carry the properties of the Shadow Element's Giant Shadow Spikes, pinning his body in place.
As he peered inside, it was as if he were gazing into an abyss. A terrifying, ominous beast lurked within, sending shivers down his soul.
"Mo Fan does have the Shadow Element, but how can it be this powerful?! Could this be the Black Vatican?!"
For a brief moment, Luo Song regretted his actions.
Behind him, Shen Mingxiao, impatient, snapped, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go in!"
As soon as he spoke, Shen Mingxiao casually leaned past Luo Song to peek inside. The instant he saw the scene, he was struck by the same horror his soul and body frozen in place.
He saw even more within the abyssal darkness, intricate dark-purple markings were weaving together. A pair of massive, black-purple eyes, like lanterns, emerged a gaze as terrifying as an evil god from a nightmare.
Shen Mingxiao was utterly petrified. His two Elemental Nebulas felt as if they were being suppressed by a Mind and Curse Element mage. He wanted to resist, but his body refused to obey.
"What's going on?!"
Professor Qiu Huayu sensed that something was wrong. He immediately reached out to shake them, only to feel as if he had touched cold corpses. A surge of dark energy attempted to invade him.
However, the old professor reacted quickly, wrapping his hands in magic energy and forcefully shoving Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao backward.
Thud! Thud!
Both of them staggered and fell to the floor, groaning in pain. Only then did they escape from that terrifying state.
With fear-stricken eyes and trembling legs, Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao frantically scrambled backward, nearly wetting themselves.
Panting heavily, Luo Song hissed in disbelief, "What the hell is that?! Is Mo Fan practicing some dark magic?!"
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Suddenly, the darkness in front of them surged. From the depths of the room, a Night Thunder Dream Beast slowly extended its head through the doorway, nearly filling the entire frame. Its black-and-white elegant mane fluttered, its refined horns pointed skyward, and its steady, unwavering gaze locked onto them.
All three of them froze in place, their minds overwhelmed with terror. The oppressive aura of a Commander-level demon filled the hallway, carrying the deadly presence of a battle-hardened predator.
"W-W-Wha... What the hell?! How can there be a Commander-level demon in the Imperial Capital Academy's dormitory?!"
Luo Song's voice was trembling, his mind on the verge of collapse. At this distance, even the strongest of high-tier mages would be helpless, let alone a mere Intermediate Mage like him.
Although Professor Qiu Huayu was also shaken, his first instinct was to push the students away to get them to safety.
At that moment, a calm yet clear voice rang from within the room:
"If you dare interrupt my cultivation again, it won't just be a nightmare shadow this time."
The three of them thought they had misheard was that Lu Jun's voice?
But when the Night Thunder Dream Beast's shadowy form twisted and phased through the wall, stepping elegantly into the hallway, Lu Jun's figure was revealed behind it.
It was real.
Professor Qiu Huayu glanced at the towering Commander-level beast dominating the hallway.
From a human's perspective, its over-twenty-meter-long body was colossal. Thankfully, its tail made up nearly half of that length otherwise, it wouldn't have fit in this space. With the presence of a lion yet the noble features of a stag, it exuded an awe-inspiring, untamed majesty.
The professor couldn't help but ask, "Lu Jun, is this... your summoned beast?!"
Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao stared at him in horror.
"That's right," Lu Jun replied casually. "I awakened the Summoning Element upon reaching the High Tier. This is my Dimensional Summon."
Holy crap.
Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao were speechless. A Primary Summoning Beast alone could fight seven or eight ordinary High-tier mages.
And yet, Lu Jun was their age. The gap between them was far too vast.
In an instant, all jealousy vanished thrown to Mars, for all they cared. So what if Mo Fan was born with dual Elements, had Lightning and Fire at Intermediate Level 3, and a Summoned Beast that had just evolved into Warrior-level?
Before this beast, he was still an ant.
And as for them? Not even fireflies.
Lu Jun cast a cold glance at the two of them, letting out a disdainful snort. He had a rough idea of why they had barged in it was nothing more than petty schemes.
In the original events, these two had always been narrow-minded, obsessed with eliminating competition, ultimately causing the team to collapse during their expedition in Golden Forest.
Meanwhile, in his room, Mo Fan watched as his Star-Blue Giant Wolf emerged, reborn from its transformation.
The wolf's build was now leaner, its neck, shoulders, back, and tail possessing smoother contours. No longer just bulky and intimidating it now looked majestic and swift!
A Warrior-level aura exploded outward. The room filled with swirling winds; pots, pans, doors, and windows rattled violently.
Mo Fan laughed heartily, hands on his hips. "Hahaha! The Summoning Element can now rival Lightning and Fire! I'm invincible!"
He was already picturing himself riding the Swift Star Wolf through the city, leaving luxury cars and even his little sister far behind.
Way more stylish than Lu Jun's fancy sports cars.
However, something felt off. The evolved wolf remained crouched, whimpering, unwilling to stand up.
Mo Fan frowned. "What's wrong? You're a Warrior-level beast now! Stand tall!"
What he didn't know was that his wolf had sensed a terrifying presence outside. The sheer pressure sent shivers down its spine.
The pride of its evolution? Completely shattered.
"Wait, what?! You're saying there's a super-dangerous creature outside?!"
Mo Fan was baffled. He recalled hearing some noise earlier but hadn't paid attention. Now, hearing this from his wolf, his expression turned serious.
He stepped forward ready to open the door and see for himself.
