Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 133: Curse Absorption

There's a saying: one does not strike a smiling face.

Seeing Wu Wenyi's admiring tone, Lu Jun sighed helplessly and nodded in agreement.

With her face beaming with excitement, the two posed together for a quick photo. Right after, Wu Wenyi cheerfully conceded and left the stage.

Seeing this, Lu Jun shook his head, wondering if the next challenger would finally get serious.

Yet, to the shock of all the students present, one after another, the youthful and gentle female Water Mages stepped onto the stage—not to fight, but simply to take photos with Lu Jun. Once satisfied, they would leave the stage, fully content.

Lu Jun was completely stunned. It was as if he had turned into a sightseeing attraction, getting hugged repeatedly by beautiful university girls who shamelessly took advantage of the situation.

An hour had passed since he stepped onto the stage, yet he wasn't sweating from battle. Instead, his senses were overwhelmed with the lingering fragrances of countless perfumes. The bottom-ranked 500 students of the Water Institute seemed to have already accepted that defeating him was impossible, so they had collectively decided to just enjoy themselves, turning the challenge into a real-life fan meet-up.

Occasionally, a few did attempt an attack, but after failing, they swiftly admitted defeat and eagerly came forward for a photo.

At first, the audience treated it as a joke, but as time passed, the male students' expressions began to twist, especially those filled with envy.

Among them, Dongfang Ming and Bai Zhengfeng had only just returned from a three-month demon-hunting expedition with Lu Jun. They had personally witnessed his terrifying strength and were likely the only two people present who genuinely believed he could accomplish the feat of defeating the entire Water Institute.

After all, he had slain a Commander-level creature! Even among High-tier mages, that was an extraordinary achievement. Although many assumed the credit primarily belonged to Professor Yuan, their respect for Lu Jun remained unchanged.

After all, they themselves hadn't even dared to stand close to the battle, let alone contribute.

However, watching the current scene unfold, Dongfang Ming's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Damn it, this is so unfair!

Lu Jun was having the time of his life! Had the entire Water Institute turned into his personal harem?!

Among the audience, Ding Yumian was also present. She had come to watch the challenge out of curiosity. Now, her expression remained indifferent, her deep and beautiful eyes fixed on Lu Jun, lost in thought.

After a moment, she let out a soft scoff.

"Hmph, men."

Meanwhile, the Water Institute's chief, Qing Yu, remained seated with her usual composed and dignified posture, her cold expression unwavering, as if completely unaffected by the commotion around her.

Next to her, Chen Yu, however, couldn't hold back any longer. She gritted her teeth and angrily muttered,

"Those little vixens! At least throw an attack or something! Even if they can't win, they could at least force him to use some mana. So many outsiders are watching—this is beyond embarrassing!"

Thankfully, as if responding to their frustration, the 532nd challenger finally stepped onto the stage with a serious expression.

She was a well-built, single-ponytailed girl. Ranked around 1,400 in the Water Institute, she was at a level where students began to receive more resources. At this stage, Stardust Magic Tools were readily available, and some even had the opportunity to rent Galaxy-level Magic Tools for a month or two.

Naturally, her approach to this battle was different.

She wasted no time with words. The moment she stepped onto the stage, she immediately began drawing her stars.

Lu Jun's eyes lit up, feeling deeply relieved. Finally, a serious challenger!

Buzz!

At that moment, his mind stirred, and his pupils flashed with a dark green radiance.

Curse Element, Level 4 Spell—Mist of Fear: Dream Eater!

A sinister curse energy descended upon the stage, accompanied by an eerie spiritual wave that swept across the area.

On the other side, the Water Institute's female mage suddenly froze. The blue Star Nebula she was tracing shattered, instantly disrupting her spellcasting.

Her entire body trembled as an intricate dark-green curse mark formed across her forehead. Her vision was consumed by pure darkness, where a pair of blood-red, malevolent eyes emerged. Following that, eerie green lines spread like veins, outlining a terrifying, fanged face that filled her entire field of view.

"AHHH!"

The single-ponytailed mage let out a horrified scream and stumbled to the ground.

Seeing that she had completely lost her ability to fight, the referee quickly declared her defeat.

At that moment, a crimson glow radiated from the defeated mage, transforming into a stream of cursed energy that surged back into Lu Jun's body.

His Nebula of Curses absorbed the energy, not depleting his mana but replenishing it instead.

Lu Jun was pleasantly surprised. This skill is amazing! A perfect spell for prolonged battles!

More importantly, this was his only spell that could restore mana.

For someone like Lu Jun—who possessed four elements—mana wasn't normally an issue. However, for most mages, the ability to restore mana was extremely rare and highly sought after.

Typically, mages could only replenish their mana through expensive Mana Regeneration Magic Tools, which were even pricier than Focus Magic Tools. The only other ways to recover mana naturally were through innate talents, unique Soul Seeds, or the Blessing Element.

When the female mage finally regained consciousness, she let out a bitter laugh.

She had hoped that, as a Mid-tier Mage, her stronger mental resilience would allow her to withstand the spell.

But she never expected that Lu Jun's spiritual force had grown so much since the start of the semester.

In the end, she still lost in a single move.

Lu Jun's expression remained calm. After taking down this opponent, the atmosphere on the battlefield immediately shifted. The female students of the Water Institute, though still gentle in nature and polite in speech, finally chose to fight seriously.

Lu Jun, in turn, showed no mercy. His Curse Element and Psychic Element Basic Spells were effortlessly interwoven and cast interchangeably. With his cultivation continuously rising, his spiritual force had already reached the peak of the Third Realm.

The Water Institute students ranged from single-element Mid-tier Level 1 to dual-element Mid-tier Level 2, yet none could break through his defenses. He easily broke their resistance and defeated them effortlessly.

When his spiritual force was nearly drained, he would activate Level 4 Water Defense, wielding the Black-Gold Dragon-Patterned Sword, and rely on the Azure Cloud Boots Magic Tool to endure the bombardment of Mid-tier Spells while eliminating his opponents.

Many female mages, who were slow in controlling their Nebula, didn't even have time to complete their spells before they were instantly knocked out of the ring.

Lu Jun's power was overwhelming in every aspect. His body, strengthened by White Jade Ointment, was full of vital energy and boundless stamina. He no longer experienced exhaustion to the point where Ding Yumian had to support him after battle.

The expressions of everyone watching subtly changed. Comparing this to Lu Jun's performance before the semester started, it was simply unbelievable.

One hundred... Two hundred... Five hundred!

One after another, female mages from the Water Institute's ranking list took the stage, but within just three hours, all were soundly defeated, their pride shattered.

Meanwhile, Lu Jun remained completely at ease.

"Five hundred opponents defeated... Damn impressive."

"Tch! Watch your words, you idiot! That can be seriously misinterpreted."

In the audience, discussions erupted. The female mages of the Water Institute had sparkling eyes, their gazes lingering on Lu Jun's strong, well-built frame, their drool practically forming waterfalls.

However, Chief Qing Yu, Secretary Chen Yu, and the top 300 ranked experts had vastly different expressions. They exchanged solemn looks, as if facing an imminent crisis.

Lu Jun took a deep breath. All four Nebula in his Spiritual World had suffered varying degrees of depletion. Among them, the Psychic Nebula had dropped by half, while the Curse Nebula remained in perfect condition, glowing brilliantly with dark green radiance.

His Level 4 Mist of Fear had silently become his most effective attack spell.

Immersed in battle, Lu Jun didn't even realize that seven to eight hours had passed. By this point, he had already defeated 1,000 Mid-tier Mages.

Soon, the referee's voice rang out:

"Next challenger, Water Ranking No. 530, Yu Haiqiu!"

This time, stepping onto the stage was a graceful and composed woman with an imposing presence.

Activating his spiritual perception, Lu Jun immediately noticed that she had dual-element Mid-tier Level 2 cultivation. The only thing she lacked was a Spirit Seed, meaning she was most likely a senior student from the third or fourth year.

Seeing this, Lu Jun's expression remained indifferent. Out of habit, he unleashed a Curse Spell, his dark green pupils radiating ominous light, and his Spiritual Force surged from his translucent forehead.

Lu Jun fully expected Yu Haiqiu to be defeated like all the previous Water Institute mages.

But suddenly—

Buzz!

The delicate blue pendant hanging from the woman's collarbone shone brilliantly, erecting a light blue mental barrier, blocking the invasive curse energy.

Hmm?

Lu Jun was slightly surprised. A Focus Magic Tool at Rank 500?

After all, Focus Magic Tools were rarely useful, and most mages didn't prepare them. Typically, mages preferred Shield Magic Tools or Movement Magic Tools instead.

Among the 1,000 Mid-tier Mages he had defeated, many possessed Magic Tools, but they had all proven ineffective against him.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Yu Haiqiu swiftly controlled her Star Map, connecting her sixth Star Orbit. She smiled charmingly and said:

"Sorry, Little Brother Lu, but I borrowed this Focus Magic Tool from a friend in another institute."

Hearing this, Lu Jun immediately understood.

Since his battle tactics were now widely known, it was only natural that others would start preparing countermeasures.

Yu Haiqiu's expression was confident and spirited, preparing to cast a Mid-tier Spell, hoping to become the first Water Institute Mage to strike back against Lu Jun.
