The winter holidays had started and students had left the dorm and gone to their respective homes to spend the end of the year with them~
But a corpse lying on the back mountain of school had gone unnoticed for two whole days.
"Urgh... I... Can finally... Move..."
Mo Fan who was heavily injured finally regained his consciousness and staggeringly got up while taking the support of the fallen tree.
His whole body was dirty and his shirt and pants were covered in blood, his lips dried up, while his forehead was bleeding.
He was still in an extremely weak state where it seemed as if he would be knocked over by a leaf!
His ribs were still broken and his hand was literally dangling.
"My... Fruit!" Mo Fan noticed the Lightning Calamity Fruit.
"I'm sorry... for worrying you..."
He picked it up and only then did the little spirit inside it calmed down!
It felt extremely frustrated for not being able to help it's daddy!
"It's.. okay..."
Mo Fan gently caressed it and reassured it!
"Stay... Inside, don't try... to come out forcefully. Nothing... will change... even if you did...."
Brr~
The fruit vibrated.
Mo Fan put it inside his space pocket.
"Now... then..." He looked towards the school's direction.
He picked up the broken branch lying beside him and used it as a support to walk.
He slowly got down the mountain, he was in a lot of pain!
Since his soul was damaged, he couldn't use his telekinesis magic to get down the mountain.
...
The sun usually sets early in winters and it had already become dark, it was closing time for the school gates, the security guard was wrapping up and going home as his shift was over!
THUD!
Suddenly he heard a loud sound of something banging against the road.
He went outside the school gate and noticed someone had fallen over by the side of road!
He thought it was some drunkard like usual.
"Hey hey! You can't be sleep— huek!"
Just when he was about to finish his sentence, he got a huge shock as he noticed a student in a dirtied uniform was injured beyond recognition.
He noticed his uniform had blood patches, his white shirt was soaked in blood and his left arm was bent out of shape! His forehead was also bleeding!
"M-MEDIC!"
...
...
The ten days winter break went by pretty quickly, the students were back to school and it was time for the new term to start~
Knock Knock~
"Brother Fan it's me! Open up!" Zhang Xiaohou knocked Mo Fan's dorm room's door.
But no one opened.
"Huh? Strange... Brother Fan will definitely open the door for me, guess he's not at home!" Zhang Xiaohou said.
_I guess I'll have to wait until he comes back~_
...
2 month passed by but there was still no sign of Mo Fan...
"Brother Fan... He still hasn't come back from Shanghai..." Zhang Xiaohou looked at Mo Fan's empty seat in disappointment.
The Homeroom teacher Xue Musheng informed the class that Mo Fan had gone to Shanghai to get treated because of his severe injuries after he fell down from the mountain.
And the school had put a ban on students to prevent them from going up the mountain for another similar mishap to happen.
"Hah! This is what he gets for fooling around instead of going home like a good kid... Oh wait! He doesn't have a home to go to! Hahahaha!! He's homeless!" Zhao Kunsan suddenly butted in and shouted out loud for the whole class to hear it!
"Can you go and piss off?" Zhang Xiaohou's mood immediately worsened.
He was not able to see Mo Fan for over two months now, he had heard he was badly injured but he couldn't go and visit him because he didn't had any money!
On top of that he had to bear with this jerk whole day long.
"If you don't stop I will fucking slaughter you!" Zhang Xiaohou wanted to beat him up but with held his anger, because he didn't wanted to get suspended!
"That's enough students, get back to your seats~"
A clean and mature voice resounded throughout the classroom.
It was the new mature and beautiful teacher.
This teacher, Tangyue, wore a standard, black suit. In between the outer black suit and the white shirt on the inside were a bulging, majestic, and glamorous mountain peaks that were about to burst.
"Yes, Teacher!" Zhao Kunsan immediately acted like a good kid and went to his desk in a flash!
Zhang Xiaohou was exasperated seeing him act like that, but he also went back to his bench.
"Okay then everyone, let's head to the practice grounds!"
...
...
One month ago.
"Patient Mo Fan, it has been well over a month now! Your body and soul are almost fully healed and the rehabilitation has also shown great progress! If it goes this well, you can get discharged in the next 10 days!" The old doctor said to Mo Fan as he looked at his reports.
"Thank You very much doctor, you not only saved my life but you also gave me a huge discount on the medical fees! I really don't know how to repay you!" Mo Fan sincerely said to the doctor!
"Considering what you did, it's the least I can do for you. You're my benefactor Patient Mo Fan! If I don't do this much, I feel like I will be taking advantage of you. Rest for now, ok!" After saying that, the doctor left!
The moment doctor left, Mo Fan removed the Lightning Calamity fruit from his space pocket!
"It's been well over a month, so why are you not hatching yet?" Mo Fan wondered aloud.
"Well it's not like I can make a contract with you anyway."
It was true, since now that he literally brought over the Lightning Calamity fruit from summoning plane, he cannot make a dimensional contract with it anymore.
The little spirit can only become his Contracted beast instead of Dimensional beast.
He still have to look for another beast in the summoning plane!
"Sigh... Guess I'll have to rely on Wolfie..."
He got up, wore his jacket over the patient garb and left the room with the IV rod in one hand.
He took the elevator and went to the rooftop!
The rooftop was huge and an open area! It was quite windy today. He sat down in meditative pose while taking the support of the wall.
Now that his Soul was healed up, he casted Dimensional summoning again!
A crescent magic circle with moonlit glow immediately appeared and Mo Fan's consciousness wandered off into the summoning plane.
Awuuuuu~
The moment he entered the plane he was greeted by a blue shadow sitting atop a tall, secluded mountain raised its head and howled into the dark skies.
Mo Fan glanced at this Spirit Wolf as his face filled with joy.
"Look at you sitting on top of the mountain and acting like a boss monster."
The spirit wolf looked at Mo Fan and growled.
"Shut Up~ here!" Mo Fan threw a dog treat at it! He had asked for a favour from the doctor to buy him some pedigree treats for dogs!
Awu~
The spirit wolf happily ate them!
Awu!!
"Yeah yeah, I know, here!" He threw 2 whole bags of Pedigree in front of Wolfie!
The Wolf's eyes glowed like stars as it looked at the 5star food in front of it!
It had never in its life ate something this good! It's mood was quite happy!
"Hmm... he's not as strong as the first time I saw him back then... But I guess, I'm four years too early to make a contract, huh..." Mo Fan said as he noticed that wolfie's strength was only at Standard Servant class.
"It's a lot younger as well... he's not even an adult yet! He's still in his Youth stage. Hmm... But since his lineage is shit, he will grow up faster...
I need to buy a proper lineage for him while he's still not an adult, so that I won't have to waste money on him later on, plus it might be better for him as well, since I did stunt his growth by forcefully evolving him previously." Mo Fan said as patted Wolfie's head.
Forced evolution was not really a good thing, since you literally kill your beast and make it anew. It also did not have high chances of survival!
"Hey, Wolfie sign a contract with me!" Mo Fan said suddenly!
Awu?
The spirit wolf didn't understand what Mo Fan meant.
Mo Fan's hand suddenly glowed with a spiritual imprint!
The spirit wolf finally understood what Mo Fan meant.
Mo Fan turned his Spiritual Imprint into a gentle radiance as he softly sprinkled it over the body of the Spirit Wolf that was looking at him with vigilance.
As expected, this guy is still amenable to coaxing.
A few moments later, the Spiritual Imprint appeared on the forehead of the Spirit Wolf.
This imprint was actually a bridge between the two planes. When Mo Fan was about to finish the last part of the summoning, his intent quickly left this land of half-illusion and half-reality, and quickly returned to the rooftop.
The moonlight Star dust didn't disappear like the other Elements. It became a crack that split open the space between two planes. The Spirit Wolf marked by Mo Fan's Spiritual Imprint began to vigilantly yet curiously stretch its furry blue head, its vicious teeth enough to make all the observers cautious, out of the crack…
When it saw Mo Fan, it began to relax.
It directly walked out of the moonlight Star dust to Mo Fan's side, and began to look over its surroundings with keen blue eyes.
The spirit wolf looked at Mo Fan and went near and started to smell him.
_Is it remembering my smell or something?_ Mo Fan thought.
After smelling Mo Fan it sat down in front of him with its tongue dangling out like a typical dog.
Mo Fan patted his head.
Awu!
The spirit wolf's physique was only 1 metre tall as it was still in its Youth Stage.
"Which element should suit you... Ice? I mean... Considering I have a lightning Elemental spirit and also a Flame Elemental spirit in the future, Ice type wolf will be the best choice to go with... But not any Ice Elemental wolf, I want one from Antarctica or from that type of extreme regions! And that too a stronger one than Flying Creek Snow Wolf!"
Mo Fan said as he looked at Old Wolf's silly face. Yeah... He didn't want it to die this time!
...
...
After getting discharged from the hospital the first place Mo Fan went to was Shanghai International Commodity Auction! The largest Auction house of Shanghai!
"Good Afternoon sir, how many I assist you?" the front desk lady with thick make up asked Mo Fan with a business like smile plastered on her face!
_Looks like a kid who hasn't even graduated yet... but his clothes look expensive_ the lady thought while looking at Mo Fan.
The uniform he was wearing was thrown away a long time ago, the clothes he was now wearing were also a gift to him by the doctor.
"Hey, My name is Mo Fan, and I'm here to sell this!" Mo Fan removed a Lightning Fundamental Crystal from his Space pocket but made it seem like the thing was in his pocket.
The purple fist sized crystal looked mesmerizing and beautiful.
"Wha...! A Fundamental Crystal of this purity!" The front desk lady was shocked!
"I have 4 more!" Mo Fan added.
"What?! Four More?!?" The front desk lady was shocked even more! Just where did this rich kid came from?
"Please sit here for a moment sir, I'll immediately go and call my manager! This is my colleague who'll attend to you, in the mean time please serve sir some refreshments." The front desk lady guided Mo Fan to the seat in the lounge area and quickly went inside after placing a server near Mo Fan.
"Here is your drink, Sir!" The server served Mo Fan a glass of fresh lime soda.
"Thank You" Mo Fan gave a warm smile to her.
"It's my pleasure!" The beautiful server also smiled back.
5 minutes later a fat man came out with the front desk lady from before.
"Good Afternoon sir, my name is Zhao Wong, I heard you wanted to sell Lightning Element's fundamental crystals to us." The fat man named Zhao Wong asked in an extremely polite way.
_Zhao...! He's from Zhao family!_ Mo Fan thought to himself. After all the influential Zhao family was deeply rooted into the magic City! It wasn't really a surprise for a member of Zhao family to be working here.
"Yes, here." Mo Fan showed him the Fundamental Crystal.
"My my, this is indeed quite pure crystal you have. If I'm not overstepping my boundaries, May I know the source of it?" The Manager shamelessly asked.
Mo Fan's eyes sharpened, "No." He firmly said no to him.
"I see, it's a shame, never mind. Let's discuss the price inside then." The Manager said as he guided Mo Fan to follow him.
"It's fine, I already have a price in mind, just give me this much per crystal." Mo Fan didn't beat around the bush and wrote the price on a paper, and he was rather sceptical to go in a room with him.
He was rather defenceless right now, so he went straight to the point!
"Hmm...? The purity of these fundamental crystals could go well up to this much per piece you know. Are you sure, you only want this much?" The Manager was surprised, since Mo Fan asked for 300 million per crystal, and the original price was around 350 million and could easily go up if he auctioned individually.
"This much is fine for the both of us right?" Mo Fan instead smiled in return.
He had basically given 250 million RMB away.
"I see, Hohoho!" The Manager laughed in a cunning way as he took Mo Fan's bribe.
"But I want you to do me a favour." Mo Fan said.
"Oh, what is it, esteemed sir? If it's within our power we will do it!" The Manager clasped his hands and sucked up to Mo Fan.
"I'm looking for a High Level Ruler Class Ice Elemental Wolf's Offspring. A new born infant would be preferable!"
"A High Level Ruler Class Ice Elemental Wolf's Offspring, is it?" The Manager Zhao Wong held his chin in confusion.
Mo Fan's request was quite weird and tricky after all!
"Hmm... It's... Quite tricky. Please give us two-three days of time, we'll get back to you as soon as possible!" Zhao Wong said.
"I prefer if it's from Antarctica" Mo Fan added.
"I see... I will see to it, esteemed sir!" Zhao Wong said in affirmation.
"Good!" Mo Fan nodded in agreement and shook hands with him.
"Oh right, I want to buy a Ruler class soul remnant!" Mo Fan said as he almost forgot about it!
"Oh! Of what type of beast would you prefer, sir?"
"Any is fine, just bring one"
"Right away, Sir!"
He signalled the front desk lady to lead the way.
"Yes sir!" She nodded and guided them!
...
"Welcome to our collection of souls, sir" Zhao Wong said as he stood in front of the entrance.
"We thought, you might like it if you get to choose which you want to buy!"
"That... Well I suppose it's fine" Mo Fan replied!
The little loach around his neck had already started vibrating incessantly like a hungry beast!
_Calm Down ancestor! If you ate everything then we both will be buried deep into the ground!_
Mo Fan thought wryly, while keeping a poker face.
The little loach seemed to have understood Mo Fan and settled down.
_Just choose which one you like the most!_ Mo Fan said.
Zhao Wong guided Mo Fan inside the room!
The room was a little cold, and the souls were kept inside their soul vessels!
Mo Fan was basically given a free rein to roam around inside!
"These are our best Ruler Class Soul Remnants which may cost you up to 400 Million RMB, but we'll give you 20% Special discount" Zhao Wong said with a smile.
"Is that so..." Mo Fan said with an indifferent gaze, but he was basically waiting for Little Loach to have a reaction!
After all his little pendant ate only sophisticated things all the time! So it won't be hard for it to find things out which it liked!
"This one seems nice!" Mo Fan said as he looked at a soul remnant which was placed in a corner, as if it was forgotten!
"Oh... That one is..." Zhao Wong suddenly made an awkward expression.
"Is there a problem with this one?"
"No! There's no problem! We'll sell it you for 150 Million!" Zhao Wong said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Oh! Why is the price for this so less compared to others?" Mo Fan asked.
"That's because, it was from a monster which was particularly weaker compared to a ruler class monster. It barely classified as a ruler class, that's why the glow of its soul was also quite dull, we were planning to auction it away, sooner or later"
_Bullshit! That soul is clearly the most valuable soul here out of everyone! Little loach literally wants to jump out of my neck and devour it right this instant!_
Little Loach had the most intense reaction for it out of all the remnants present there.
Little Loach cannot possibly be wrong about his food! It never has!
"I'll still buy it!"
"A.. as you wish."
...
Mo Fan bought the soul and soon left the building.
He quickly went to his hotel room.
"Okay Little Loach, you've waited more than enough, devour it!" Mo Fan gave the ok signal.
As soon as he said it was ok to eat, an azure light burst out from it and pierced the soul container, containing the soul!
The moment the soul remnant came in contact with the azure glow, the cloudiness shrouding it vanished! And a rainbow-ish mesmerizing glow revealed itself!
Mo Fan was startled by it!
After all it was a Ruler Class Soul Essence!
"WHUUAATT??!" Mo Fan's eyes literally popped out of it's socket!
"Wa-wai... WAIT WAIT! DON'T EAT THAT!!" Mo Fan immediately stopped Little Loach from eating it!
But it was too late! Little Loach didn't stop.
"NOOOOO!!! STOP YOU STUPID PENDANT, DON'T EAT MY MONEY!!!!" Mo Fan cried out but little loach didn't stop.
It continued to devour it until nothing remained.
"Noo... My 30 billion euros... You spit it OUT! SPIT IT OUT NOW!!!"
A ruler class soul essence could easily go for 40-50 billion RMB and even more in other countries!
He could easily feed millions of dollars worth of milk powder to his children daily with that kind of money! But his damned pendant ate it all...
Burp~
Little Loach burped...
As if it eating the precious soul essence was not enough, it even burped?!
"You!!" Mo Fan was so mad that he popped a vein in his forehead.
"Kuegh!" He was so angry, he spat a mouthful of blood and fainted!
After Mo Fan fainted, little loach started glowing! It was covered in an Azure glow.
It was slowly evolving. Suddenly a crack appeared on its black body. Soon after more cracks appeared and the glow which was spreading outwards suddenly went back inside the pendant.
The glow accumulated inside the cracks and then.
BOOM!!!!
The Black Shell exploded and scattered everywhere revealing the true colours of the Pendant.
It was an Azure coloured Pendant with exquisite lines across it. It's eyes which were dead before looked alive now.
If before it would've been sold for hundred RMB as an antique, then now it would be sold for at least hundred million RMB.
