Mo Fan’s eyes lit up. “How can we fully utilize the power of the Totem Beasts?”

“I have no idea. We have to find more Totem Beasts and understand the connections between them,” Lingling answered.

Mo Fan reached out his hand and pinched Lingling’s face. He snarled, “Why did you bother bringing it up, then?”

Lingling slapped Mo Fan’s face and shot back with puffed cheeks, “We must come up with ideas first before putting them into practice! I’m quite confident we are on the right track!”

“Did you find the next Totem Beast after putting the Four-Eyed Bird’s Totem Seal into the big picture?” Mo Fan asked.

“Not yet, but it’s a lot easier after the recent innovations of recording devices. I found this after searching for similar patterns on the Internet…” Lingling took out her phone and showed Mo Fan a photo.

In the photo was a destroyed tower. Half of it had collapsed into the sea, so only part of it remained.

A clear claw mark could be seen on the tower. Some powerful creature had smashed the round tables in the dining hall into pieces with its claw.

“It’s a very big claw, and?” Mo Fan asked, seeing nothing important.

“I’ve found a mysterious Totem Beast. Its Totem Seal is very similar to the shape of the claw, especially this part over here!” Lingling enlarged the photo as she explained to Mo Fan in more detail.

Mo Fan would not have treated the claw mark seriously without listening to Lingling’s explanation.

“Are you sure it belongs to a Totem Beast?” Mo Fan had to ask.

“Mm, but for some reason, it has sided with the sea monsters and is causing a lot of destruction in Zhuhai,” Lingling declared.

“Let’s go to Zhuhai, then. Nothing is more reliable than inspecting the scene in person,” Mo Fan said.

“That’s what I think, too.”

Mo Fan did not want to waste his time. He went straight to Guangzhou and planned to go to Zhuhai City after a quick rest.

A lightning serpent was causing troubles in Zhuhai City. Even Shenzhen had been heavily impacted. The electricity had gone out, putting the whole city in a blackout.

In the current era, a city without electricity was pretty much paralyzed, as many facilities would no longer function. It was not as simple as taking out the electricity. Many military devices had stopped functioning as a result, so the military was unable to determine the number and whereabouts of the sea monsters.

Feng Zhoulong kept calling Mo Fan after he heard Mo Fan was in Guangzhou.

Mo Fan insisted he was on an important mission. He did not have time to waste on being the lab rat of his experiments. To his surprise, Feng Zhoulong went straight to Mo Fan’s place and forced him to come to Canton Tower with him!

——–

Mo Fan had a bad feeling as soon as he arrived at Canton Tower.

Feng Zhoulong brought Mo Fan straight to the Research Union’s lab. The sight of workers in white lab coats and gas masks sent shivers down Mo Fan’s spine.

“Here, let me introduce you to a brilliant student we’ve recently recruited!” Feng Zhoulong exclaimed.

Whenever Feng Zhoulong looked at Mo Fan, he did not react like he was happy to see a friend. It was more like he was proud of his invention. It was the main reason why Mo Fan was reluctant to come here.

Mo Fan yawned impatiently.

However, he froze when the woman with curly purple hair took off her mask. The impatient look on his face was replaced with shock!

“Sharjah!” Mo Fan stared at the woman, who was still as elegant as an elf. It took him some time to collect his thoughts in the face of her charm.

“Sir, it’s been a while.” Sharjah was speaking fluently in Chinese. She even followed the Chinese customs.

She was dressed just like a Chinese woman, save for the color of her eyes.

“Why did you come here?” Mo Fan asked.

“My brother was worried I would be charged with treason, so he forced me to leave the Andes Mountain Range. I had enough of the Aorus Sacred Institute, and I had nowhere else to go, so I applied for a position here. It was Mr. Feng who took me in,” Sharjah said with a faint smile.

Mo Fan was left speechless. Why is she acting just like a foreign exchange student after she was threatened with treason?

Forget it, he could never understand Sharjah’s personality…

“It seems like you two already knew one another. That’s perfect,” Feng Zhoulong said cheerfully.

“I did introduce her here, I only brought it up randomly. I didn’t think she would really consider it.” Mo Fan reached out his hand and rubbed Sharjah’s head.

Sharjah did not avoid him. She was very obedient, but the intelligence in her eyes did not belong to a normal student.

“I see, I should be thanking you, then. Mo Fan, do you know? The Heavens have gifted me two precious things. The first one is Sharjah’s intelligence, and the second one was the invasion of the sea monsters!” Feng Zhoulong blurted out in excitement.

Mo Fan’s face was full of question marks as he coughed in embarrassment. “I can understand the first one. After all, Sharjah is truly a genius. She’s smarter than many of the professors at the Aorus Sacred Institute, but I don’t quite understand the second one,” Mo Fan replied.

“Of course! I’m talking about resources. We’ve been stuck on land for so long. We have already dug up every resource on land, but we’ve only come so far. The invasion of sea monsters might be a disaster, but it also opens a new door for the Magic Civilization by bringing us rare resources of the deep sea. We can finally conduct many of our experiments!” Feng Zhoulong explained enthusiastically.

Mo Fan nodded in agreement. He said, “Sure, go ahead and discuss it. I’m just a fighter. I’m more concerned about how I can improve my strength. I have other things to worry about. I shall excuse myself. Sharjah, make sure you learn from Feng Zhoulong.”

“Hey, can you wait until I’ve finished!?” Feng Zhoulong snarled, like he could not wait to vent all the grudges he was carrying.

“I’m really busy. I have to take care of the lightning serpent,” Mo Fan replied.

“But can you defeat it?”

“I’ll know once I’ve tried,” Mo Fan answered.

“I have ways to make you stronger!” Feng Zhoulong proclaimed.

Mo Fan immediately halted in his tracks, but he did not turn around.

“Sir, after some collaboration, our theory of merging different Elements is no longer just a theory. We just need a volunteer to test them,” Sharjah said.

“What?!” Mo Fan turned around.

“We’ve finished researching Magic Fusion. Don’t you want to be the first to try it out?” Feng Zhoulong smiled.. His smile was more seductive than a demoness in a cave.
