Chapter 932: Lightning Storm Circle
__Translated by XephiZ__

The tornado had a body like a dragon. Its silhouette was clear even from a great distance away. It had a strong and mighty waist, and a huge funnel after touching the sky. The team somehow had trouble breathing after seeing it…
More astonishingly, the black wind was surrounded by purple-golden lightning. The lightning bolts were as thick as serpents, flickering rapidly in the air!
This shocking phenomenon was happening here in the wilderness to the west of Peru. It was impossible to see the marvelous sight without crossing the canyon.
My heavens… isn’t this a bit too much? Why do I feel like an enemy Boss will jump out from it at any second?
Zhao Manyan blurted out.
The tornado and lightning are right where the ancient ruins are,
Nanyu estimated the location of the phenomenon.
Oh my, it must be a place of misfortune. I’m getting a bit scared,
murmured Jiang Yu.
We’ve already come so far, how can we give up now? If it really is something incredible, we’re going to be flying!
Mo Fan whooped excitedly.
If the cliffs were not hiding this place, it was very likely that other Hunters would have explored the place with such an extraordinary phenomenon, taking all the good loot with them.
However, it seemed no one had been to the area in a long time. The ancient ruins were still unexplored, meaning that there were lots of things waiting to be found. When Mo Fan thought of the chance of finding a Soul-grade Seed, his heart began to pound heavily.
It’s a Soul-grade Seed they were speaking of. With a Soul-grade Seed, his strength would improve significantly once again. By then, he could easily conquer everything without relying on the Demon Element!
By the way, after the mess that Lu Yilin stirred up, it feels like my Shadow Element Nebula is on the verge of expanding. Maybe I should find a chance to give it an upgrade, and see if I can reach the Advanced Level of the Shadow Element,
mumbled Mo Fan to himself.
As a safety precaution, Mo Fan did ask for some Shadow Constellation Scrolls from Tangyue, as it would allow him to cast the Advanced Shadow Spell once his Shadow Element reached the Advanced Level.
Tangyue was a Shadow Magician herself, and did have a lot of the Shadow Constellation Scrolls with her. She did not mind giving Mo Fan some.
As a matter of fact, Mo Fan was looking forward to it, too. He was wondering what his Shadow Element was going to be like after the upgrade…
The team was still watching the lightning storm ahead in astonishment. The sky had started to get dark. The team decided to set up tents in the wilderness, and proceeded on with their journey early in the next morning.
Mo Fan was still feeling the thrill and excitement from the fight at the canyon. He immediately decided to use the time to improve his Shadow Element.
That night, when it was Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan’s turn to stand guard, Mo Fan asked Zhao Manyan to keep an eye out on his behalf while he went to meditate and upgrade his Shadow Element Nebula!
There was no way Mo Fan would give up after failing his first attempt. He was not the kind to be intimidated by failure. He just needed to get his hands on another Galaxy Vein if he failed again. The crystals he had acquired from the walls in the canyon were worth quite a lot!
Are you seriously going to attempt a breakthrough here?
asked Zhao Manyan curiously.
Mo Fan was planning for a breakthrough right after he had just killed a man. Did he have some kind of a strange method to improve the chance of having a breakthrough after killing someone?
Mmm, I’m going to break down the barrier of my Shadow Element Nebula. Keep an eye out for me, don’t let idiots like Guan Yu and Zu Jiming disturb me,
said Mo Fan.
Shadow Element? Aren’t Fire and Lightning your main Elements? Don’t you want to improve your Lightning Element first, since it’s going to be easier?
asked Zhao Manyan in confusion.
Normally, people would focus on improving their main Elements, as the foundations of these Elements would be firmer.
Lightning Element? My Lighting Element has already reached the Advanced Level. I can already draw more than two hundred and eighty Stars of the Star Constellation. I will complete the Advanced Spell soon,
replied Mo Fan.
Zhao Manyan’s face went blank after hearing that!
Holy cow, this is your third Element going into the Advanced Level?!
spluttered Zhao Manyan.
Exactly!
Mo Fan nodded.
Zhao Manyan simply felt a bolt of lightning striking down at him, despite the clear sky above. He had the urge to find a quiet corner and stay there alone…
He was about to tell Mo Fan a piece of good news, yet he had completely lost the mood. Despite having a financial group supporting him, he was being left far behind by Mo Fan. How unsatisfying!
Go ahead and attempt your breakthrough, I’ll keep an eye out for you,
said Zhao Manyan helplessly.
Seeing Mo Fan sitting down on the ground, the beaten Zhao Manyan took out the special wooden clapper from his pocket and softly touched the runes that were glowing deep blue upon its surface…
The sky lit up fairly quickly in the desert. The blazing red sun was slowly rising up from the horizon, shining the light of dawn onto the orange-red land.
The cries of a strange bird woke the team up from their deep sleep.
Mo Fan was still sitting in the open. Zhao Manyan had already fallen asleep, resting his head on the rock nearby.
After opening their eyes, they suddenly felt the sunlight dimming slightly, as if a thick gray cloud was looming over them.
What’s going on? Why is it dark here when other places are bright?
asked Jiang Yu in confusion.
Mo Fan’s lips curled upward. His eyes were filled with a thick darkness, as if he was being shrouded in a layer of shadow. He looked incredibly mysterious and evil.
He rose to his feet and slowly withdrew the black aura surrounding him. The area slowly turned bright, like everywhere else.
Zhao Manyan was muddle-headed when he woke up. His eyes immediately widened when he saw what was happening.
He was pretty excited, but he lowered his voice on purpose and asked,
Did your Shadow Element reach the Advanced Level?
Mo Fan nodded.
Fk me, your strength is going to be insane,
sighed Zhao Manyan.
Everyone on the team basically had at least one Element at the Advanced Level. A few on the team did have two Elements at the Advanced Level, and were able to cast Advanced Spells, yet they still needed time to get familiar with the process.
Meanwhile, Mo Fan was able to cast the Advanced Fire Spell adeptly, and was almost able to draw the Lightning Constellation. On top of that, his Shadow Element had reached the Advanced Level, too! Even without using Advanced Spells, his control of his three Advanced Elements was far beyond the ability of an Intermediate Magician!
Do you have Magic Tools that can help me practice drawing the Stars quicker? Even though I’ve reached the Advanced Level, it’s still quite a headache that I can’t use the Advanced Spells. I want to learn the process faster,
asked Mo Fan.
I can get them for you, but you’ll need to pay for them,
said Zhao Manyan.
Oh, right, take a look at this, is it valuable?
Mo Fan took out the smooth crystal from his pocket and put it in front of Zhao Manyan.
Zhao Manyan was a businessman on top of his identity as a Magician. He would recognize anything that was worth money. As soon as Mo Fan took out the crystal, his face was immediately filled with joy!
Where did you get this?
asked Zhao Manyan.
Inside the canyon,
Mo Fan answered.
It’s an important fusing material for refining Soul-grade Seeds!
Zhao Manyan explained.
Fusing material?
Natural Soul-grade Seeds are too rare, so many Soul Seeds are refined artificially instead. Although their power isn’t comparable to the natural Soul Seeds, and they won’t necessarily provide the bearers with a Domain, they can still multiply the damage of spells by four to six times. A Soul-grade Seed can be refined with a huge number of Spirit-grade Seeds, as long as there’s enough supply of a fusing material: the Fundamental Crystals! The thing you have here is a high-quality Earth Element Fundamental Crystal! The important factor that decides if an artificially refined Soul-grade Seed has the power of Domain is the quality of the Fundamental Crystals!
Zhao Manyan told him excitedly.
I see, so how much does this cost?
asked Mo Fan.
It depends on the market price, but I can guarantee you a good price if you list it at our auction… how about this, sell it to me, and I’ll get you the Magic Accelerator you need?
said Zhao Manyan.
Sure, take it,
Mo Fan tossed the Fundamental Crystal into Zhao Manyan’s hands.
Zhao Manyan caught the crystal in a panic and cursed,
Fk me, this thing costs more than a Galaxy Vein; it’s useless if it breaks!
I don’t care, it was yours the moment I tossed it. It’s your fault if you didn’t catch it. Remember to get me the Magic Accelerator as soon as possible. I still have two Elements to improve! It’s quite tiring to spend most of my time on Awakening the Stars,
Mo Fan told him lazily.
Learning to control the Stars was an extremely boring, yet time-consuming task. Mo Fan remembered how he had spent an entire semester just learning to control seven Stars, and now, he needed to control three hundred and forty-three Stars to draw a Star Constellation. It was a lengthy process without a doubt, so he desperately needed a good Magic Accelerator to increase his efficiency!
Mo Fan was willing to hand the Fundamental Crystal to Zhao Manyan, as he believed Zhao Manyan would definitely get him a Magic Accelerator as valuable as the crystal. Once he received the Magic Accelerator, he could learn to cast the Lightning and Shadow Advanced Spells faster, and further master the Fire Advanced Spell, too!
By the way, why do you need an Earth Element Fundamental Crystal?
asked Mo Fan.
My fking third Element is the Earth Element!
cursed Zhao Manyan.
Mo Fan almost burst out laughing when he heard that Zhao Manyan had Awakened the Earth Element!
A turtle-shell Magician, Zhao Manyan was very serious about his role as a turtle-shell Magician! Earth, Water, Light… these were all defensive and supportive Elements, and Zhao Manyan had Awakened all three of them!
Zhao Manyan felt unpleasant when he saw Mo Fan laughing. He straightened his chest and said,
Don’t you laugh! I’ll show you how strong I am when the time comes. You’ll be surprised for sure!
Oh, it sounds like you’ve improved a lot, too. I was wondering why Zhou Xu was being disqualified instead of you!
Mo Fan raised his brows. Judging from Zhao Manyan’s confident look, he must have something up his sleeves.
Piss off!
What are you two mumbling about back there? We’re entering the ancient ruins!
yelled Nanyu when she saw Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan falling behind.
Aye, coming!
The two hurried to catch up with the team. They were heading right for the intimidating Lightning Storm Circle!
Say, is there really a Soul-grade Seed, or something of the same level here?
There must be! A phenomenon of this scale isn’t something to fool around with!
