A military base in Beihuang…
A man with a military coat draped over his shoulders was sitting on a branch of an old tree. In front of the tree was a vast yellow land with no visible end. The intimidating cries of wild beasts occasionally came from the distance.
“Didn’t they say this tree has the best reception? Why does the clip keep buffering?” the man grumbled, looking at the cheap smartphone he was holding.
The buffering finally finished after a while. The clip showed the battle between a man shrouded in silver light and the imperious Wolf Queen.
“Brother Fan is as impressive as usual!” the man exclaimed.
“General Zhang, the third squad has discovered some fresh bones without any flesh remaining on them. I believe the Evil Hound Ruler that came from the Cursed Wildland will soon fall into our trap!” a soldier on a Heavenly Eagle flew up to report.
The man on the tree took off his hat, revealing a tanned and handsome face. He looked young, but he was brimming with the confidence of an experienced general who had long been stationed at the border.
“I thought I was a step closer to reaching Brother Fan’s strength, but it looks like I’ll have to work even harder. Otherwise, he’s going to leave me further behind!” Zhang Xiaohou put away his phone and jumped down from the tree.
“General, should we proceed with our plan?” the soldier asked.
“All units are to proceed with the plan. We will teach those scum who’s in charge of Beihuang!” General Zhang Xiaohou confirmed.
“All units, prepare for battle!” the soldier immediately relayed through his communication device.

Mo Fan’s influence had grown significantly in a short period of time. Even he was surprised by it.
Had he shown off on TV accidentally again?
It all started because of a Hunter’s livestream. It was strange how the Hunter’s phone was able to record him while he was using magic.
In the past, even the light from Basic Spells would foil a recording, like a camera pointing directly at the sun. Only special military devices were capable of recording magic, and they were usually not available to civilians.
Perhaps the commercial devices had found a solution to tackle the problem, or the military was sharing its technology after the ban was lifted. More clips related to magic battles, demon creatures, and the wild lands had been spreading on the web, including general knowledge about magic, which used to be forbidden.
“I’ve accidentally exposed my strength. How am I supposed to play the pig to eat the tiger now!?” Mo Fan’s head hurt.
Lifting the ban was not really all that great for Mo Fan. People would definitely be recording a public figure like him when he was fighting his battles. It would be a pain in the ass if his enemies examined the clips to familiarize themselves with him!
Well, he would just have to adapt according to the situation before him. On second thought, he had a whopping seven Elements, and each was improving and evolving over time. His enemies would still be helpless even if they did examine films of him.
The Super Level was unlike the other levels of magedom. It was always changing!

“This is the Wolf Queen’s Soul Jade that you asked for. It’s preserved perfectly, the best one you could have to evolve a Summoned Beast.” Zhou Yuan handed Mo Fan the container respectfully.
“You may hand in the quest at the Hunter Union. The reward will be transferred to your account,” Mo Fan told him agreeably.
“Senior, you must be kidding. We aren’t shameless enough to claim the reward,” Zhou Yuan replied awkwardly.
“You guys went through a lot, too. Just be more mindful of people’s character before recruiting them.” Mo Fan did not take away the reward he had promised just because of the little mishap.
“Of course!” Zhou Yuan was left speechless.
In the end, it was Mo Fan who had killed the Wolf Queen so he could finish the job. The Soul Jade he had retrieved from killing the male Ruler-level wolf did not meet the job requirements.
It was also the reason why the greedy man had kidnapped the wolf pups. They had only obtained a defective Soul Jade after going through all that trouble!
“Senior, I have something to discuss with you,” Zhou Yuan spoke up after he remembered something.
“Say it.”
“Not long ago, Miss Mu Ningxue invited us to be stationed at Fanxue Mountain. We were considering the offer since we don’t have an actual base. If possible, we can move to Fanxue Mountain without taking the money she offered. What do you think?” Zhou Yuan offered with a smile.
“Aren’t you supposed to pay if you want to be stationed at Fanxue Mountain?” Mo Fan asked him, frowning.
The smile on Zhou Yuan’s face froze.
Coughing once, he replied hastily, “The Wizard Bird Hunter Group does have some reputation, so it’s common for us to ask for some compensation if we are stationed at a private territory. After all, the high completion rate of a Hunter Group is the key to attracting more clients and Hunters to a city. Our members are scattered across the country, and we have a high completion rate,” Zhou Yuan explained proudly.
“I see. So be it, then. I’ll arrange a good location for your Hunter Group and give you a discount on the rental,” Mo Fan agreed.
He had heard from Mu Ningxue that she was indeed looking for more powerful organizations to join Fanxue Mountain. She had offered a lot of benefits to certain reputable organizations, but not many of them had taken her up on the offer.
Mo Fan was quite happy with this man’s personality. It was not a bad idea to recruit them on behalf of Fanxue Mountain!
“Then I guess we are even on the compensation and the reward for the job,” Zhou Yuan confirmed respectfully.
“Sure.”

When Mo Fan went back to Fanxue Mountain, he noticed both Feiniao Headquarters City and Fanxue Mountain had changed a lot.
If Mo Fan had not visited Feiniao City during the World College Tournament, he would never have believed it used to be just a second-tier city.
Feiniao City was relatively newly built now, with only a few old districts. Everything looked brand new to him.
Silver skyscrapers reaching the blue sky and wide highways intertwining with one another. The bustling city reminded him of the popular areas in the Magic City.
The maritime fortress had been reconstructed after discovering the flaws of the old one. It was around four kilometers from the main city, and looked like a spectacular mirage floating on the sea from afar.
The sea around the maritime fortress was emerald green. Cao Qinqin must have successfully planted the Blue Ocean Trees in its vicinity as a foundation.
——
Mo Fan noticed the guards were staring at him passionately after he reached Fanxue Mountain. Was he really that handsome that he could bewitch people, regardless of their gender?
“Boss, you’re back!”
“Boss, you’re so cool! When can I be as impressive as you?”
Many people gathered around him, including Mu Linsheng, Bai Hongfei, Cao Qinqin, and Shao Yu. Mu Ningxue was there, dressed in a plain white T-shirt and a pair of silken long pants. Her alluring figure encouraged Mo Fan to totally ignore the noisy people around him.
Instead, he promptly went up and gave Mu Ningxue a huge hug.
Mu Ningxue immediately blushed. She was a little embarrassed acting intimately in front of so many people.
