Chapter 122 - 122: Leaping the Dragon Gate

Lu Jun had already sensed the killing intent of the Blue-scaled koi Demon the moment it stirred.

In the blink of an eye, he evaded the incoming tidal assault and swiftly controlled his Star Map to counterattack.

Boom!

As the water-elemental surge erupted, the cascading white waterfall suddenly shimmered with a deep blue glow. The mist in the air gathered, transforming the originally white river into an overwhelming tidal wave, layering upon itself continuously.

For some reason, standing on the battlefield of the Dragon Gate Waterfall, Lu Jun felt as though he was fighting in his home ground.

His Tidal Seed was greatly enhanced, elevating his mid-tier Level 2 Tidal Surging Bellows spell to the power of a Level 3 spell.

One by one, the several-meter-tall Bule-scaled Koi Demons were swept away. Over a dozen Flood Demon Warrior were forcibly washed down to the lower river, splashing into the water with heavy impacts. Blood quickly spread across the turbulent currents, dyeing the once-clear river into a boiling sea of red.

Falling from a height of a hundred meters, coupled with the immense kinetic force of the rapids, even Warrior-level demons suffered severe injuries upon impact.

For a moment, the vast river gorge was in chaos, with the demons rampaging and launching indiscriminate attacks. The blood-red mist thickened, and the pungent stench of blood filled the air.

The once pristine white curtain of the waterfall was now stained with large crimson patches, resembling a giant white cloth speckled with blood.

Gurgle, gurgle!

Before long, Professor Yuan, Gao Sheng, and the others emerged from the water. Thousands of silky white water streams wrapped around the nine students, lifting them up as if they had a will of their own.

Each of them was in a wretched state, their Magic Armor flickering weakly. Even Professor Yuan could not maintain his usual composure, drenched from head to toe.

That was still manageable. The only ones in real trouble were the White River Dolphins—though they had been cushioned by a high-tier Water Domain that dissipated some of the waterfall's force, they still suffered multiple broken soft bones upon impact.

Thankfully, the team had a healer. Nan Rong Ni ignored her soaked clothes, immediately clambering onto the Dolphins' backs. Her hands glowed with a soft milky-white radiance as she cast her healing magic over the injured tamed beasts—these creatures were incredibly precious!

At this moment, Guan Yu cursed loudly, "Damn fish demon! Watch me gut you alive!"

He quickly sketched out his Wind Track, activating the magic gear on his boots. With a surge of wind beneath his feet, he charged towards the Blue-scaled Koi Demon perched on the waterfall.

However, he soon realized something was off. Amidst the relentless tidal assault, his movements were severely hampered, making it impossible to reach the demon.

On the other hand, the aquatic demons displayed remarkable cunning. They hid within the rocky crevices of the vertical waterfall, cloaking themselves under layers of flowing water. Occasionally, they manipulated the surrounding waters, sending surging waves crashing down on the team.

Mu Tingying and the others launched their mid-tier spells at the Milky Way Gorge.

Several Fiery Fists exploded forth—towering flames shaped like twenty-meter-long dragons streaked across the air, but they were instantly swallowed by the raging currents, managing only to evaporate a portion of the water and generate thick white mist. The fish demons remained unharmed.

The same went for Ice Spells and Wind Blades. Only Jiang Yu's mid-tier Lightning spell, Thunderbolt: Skyfall, had some effect. Countless violet electric currents spread like a spiderweb, filling the air with the distinct stench of ozone.

But the results were disastrous—both for enemies and allies alike! The surging river conducted the electricity, causing the team to be electrocuted along with the fish demons. Their bodies went numb, severing their connection with their Nebulas.

"Jiang Yu, stop using lightning magic!" Mu Tingying shouted furiously. "It's completely useless and is just messing up our own team!"

Their attacks had failed to follow through properly. The fish demons lurking in the rocky waterfall crevices seized the opportunity to emerge, launching yet another torrential barrage. The team had no choice but to scramble for cover.

Frustration built up among them. Being forced onto the defensive, coupled with the scolding from teammates, left Jiang Yu's expression dark with displeasure. The group's hidden tensions and grievances were starting to boil over.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Seeing this, Lu Jun stepped onto his Flying Sword, gliding up alongside the waterfall. In a single breath, he soared past the vast white gorge, landing on the higher riverbed. From his vantage point, he gazed down upon the spectacular sight of the hundred-meter-high waterfall.

With a powerful voice, he commanded, "Scatter! Wait for me to clear out the fish demons from this waterfall before you rush up!"

Boom!

Without wasting time, Lu Jun rapidly constructed his Water Star Map. Behind him, an immense cloud of blue mist surged upward. His entire body tensed as he threw out punch after punch.

The sky-blue waves he conjured cascaded from the waterfall's peak, creating an immediate upheaval. The entire area was engulfed in dazzling azure light.

One by one, the demons hiding within the rocky waterfall crevices were shaken loose, helplessly swept away by the surging currents.

Lu Jun's spellcasting speed was astonishing. In just ten seconds, he unleashed his fourth Tidal Surge! With each successive spell, his Tidal Seed effects compounded, amplifying the power. Combined with the environmental boost from the battlefield, by the time he cast his fifth Tidal Surge, a Water Domain had already taken form!

The water element in the area surged exponentially, completely overpowering all other elements and forming a dominant force. Thin strands of mist rose into the air, while vast amounts of dark demonic energy were forcefully expelled.

With his mental focus sharpened to its peak, Lu Jun exuded an unstoppable aura. Towering water waves roared around him, while dark blue clouds churned overhead, shimmering like overlapping fish scales. Lush Water Lotuses blossomed within the misty haze.

In the next instant, the dark blue tidal sky curtain descended with earth-shattering force.

The impact was nothing short of awe-inspiring—like a celestial river crashing down from the heavens. The cascade engulfed an area over a hundred meters wide.

Hundreds of Salve Demons and Warrior-level creatures were swept away. Most were instantly crushed into a bloody pulp, leaving the sky filled with misty blood vapor.

Mu Tingying and the others had already withdrawn. Witnessing the overwhelming display of power, they were utterly shaken.

Lu Jun stood proudly atop his Black Gold Flying Sword, his form wreathed in ethereal rivers. Above his head, a deep blue cloud of energy radiated in the sky. The mist that rose around him painted an image of a celestial being of water, standing atop the towering waterfall like an untouchable force of nature.

That single moment exuded the grandeur of one man standing guard, unchallenged by thousands—a sight that left everyone in awe.

Beside him, Guan Yu swallowed nervously. "This is insane... That was practically high-tier magic level, wasn't it?"

"Stop standing around!" Dongfang Ming snapped out of his daze and urged, "Finish them off!"

Boom! Boom!

The mid-tier elite students wasted no time. One after another, they unleashed elemental spells imbued with their Spirit Seeds, blanketing the area in dazzling destruction. The last struggling Warrior-level demons were completely obliterated.

The waterfall was momentarily cleared. Without hesitation, the team activated their Magic Boots, scaling the sheer cliff wall. Through immense effort, they finally crossed the Dragon Gate and climbed up to a higher section of the Yangtze River.

Breathing heavily, they looked back. Humans could at least climb the rocks by hand and resist the torrent, but the aquatic demons, relying solely on their fins, struggled even more.

During this time, no other demons dared to approach. Lu Jun's display of high-tier level power had caused the surrounding monsters to mistake him for a Sub-Commander-level entity, keeping them at bay.

Once they reached the top, the team looked at Lu Jun with a newfound respect. That spell alone had been enough to shake even Commander-level demons.

Mu Tingying muttered under her breath, "So... you weren't even going all out during the exchange match."

Lu Jun simply waved it off. His radiance faded, and exhaustion set in—his Water and Psychic Nebulas were completely drained.

If he had been at peak form, he could have launched a seventh Tidal Surge.

With their hardships behind them, the group quickly moved on, heading towards the White River Dolphin's breeding ground—a place that also served as a Demon Graveyard.

"There, we'll let the Dolphins breed," Professor Yuan said, appearing out of nowhere. "And while we're at it, we'll gather some White Jade Balm."

Hearing this, the students' eyes lit up. Finally, after their exhausting journey, they would have a moment of respite!
