Pearl Institute had the Three Step Tower, which served as the backbone of the school.

The Dark Moon Pavilion was Jimei University’s equivalent landmark. Mo Fan had only sensed a source of dark energy at first, and did not expect the school to have such a unique heritage.

“I didn’t know it’s a consumable. The school should hold on to it. After all, I’m not from this school.” Mo Fan belatedly realized how precious the thing was. He sounded a little apologetic.

He might say that, but what the others thought he meant was no longer within his control!

As he thought, Deng Yongchuan seemed a little embarrassed after hearing Mo Fan’s words.

“I…I’ll go get it now.” Deng Yongchuan finally agreed with Lin Du. If the city ended up as debris and became a part of the sea, it was meaningless for them to hold onto their valuables.

Even though it was a waste to use the Dark Moon Crystal’s energy just to cast a spell, it would not kill a single sea monster if it was just kept on display!

Time was running short. Deng Yongchuan placed his students in charge of keeping the water away before he quickly headed to the Dark Moon Pavilion.

The Dark Moon Pavilion was located further inland. Deng Yongchuan would need some time to get it. Mo Fan looked toward the beach as he was catching his breath and saw the battle between his army of wolves and the Scarlet Soaring Demons had reached the most intensive stage.

The Scarlet Soaring Demons were in a terrible spot. The Commander-level Moon-Devouring White Wolves were simply too strong for them. The White-Marked Wolves just had to stick with their leaders and pick on the injured Scarlet Soaring Demons.

Mo Fan roughly estimated that the Scarlet Soaring Demons were about as strong as the White-Marked Wolves on the land. It was difficult to tell who was going to win if a White-Marked Wolf was fighting a Scarlet Soaring Demon, but the Scarlet Soaring Demons had already lost their morale. In addition, the students on the library roof were giving the army of wolves a hand too!

The outcome was very obvious. It was a one-sided victory!

“Awoo!!”

A Moon-Devouring White Wolf suddenly withdrew from the battle. It ran up the hill where the library was on and landed in front of Mo Fan after doing a flip in the air. It was like a ninja among the wolves!

Mo Fan looked at the wolf. He was not sure which one among the thirteen Moon-Devouring White Wolves it was. He could only recognize the three leaders.

The Moon-Devouring White Wolf lowered its head onto the ground like a humble servant. It placed an object glowing with a bloody-red light in front of Mo Fan.

“What’s this?” Mo Fan stared at the object with a confused face. He picked it up from the ground.

“Brother Mo Fan, it’s a Sea Monster Agate, a valuable item that contains the sea monster’s power. It can improve a Water Mage’s control of the Water Element significantly…” Lin Du told Mo Fan with glittering eyes.

“Improve a Mage’s control? This thing here?” Mo Fan said.

“Yes, and it’s extremely rare. If you craft a ring or a bracelet with it, you can sell it for a high price,” Lin Du said.

“For how much?” Mo Fan asked.

“Depends on the buyer, but at least seven hundred million.”

Mo Fan dropped his jaw. The price took him by surprise.

Money!

He loved money the most!

The object was more valuable than a Commander-level Soul Essence. It seemed to have dropped from one of the Scarlet Rending Demons. The Commander-level Moon-Devouring White Wolf immediately knew it was valuable with just a little sniff. It immediately returned and offered it to its master!

“Well done, I remember you now, I won’t forget you if I have something good for you,” Mo Fan patted the Moon-Devouring White Wolf that had lost half of its right ear. He was extremely pleased with the sensible creature!

The Sea Monster Agate was rather fragile, and the battle between the wolves and the Scarlet Soaring Demons was very chaotic. It would be quite normal if some idiot happened to step on the Sea Monster Agate and break it. Luckily, the chop-eared wolf was quite intelligent. It immediately gave it to its master.

“I’ve brought the stuff!” Deng Yongchuan’s voice came from behind them.

Mo Fan was still holding the warm Sea Monster Agate. Deng Yongchuan immediately noticed it when Mo Fan turned around. He immediately stood still and stared at the thing in Mo Fan’s hand.

“A Sea Monster Agate!” Deng Yongchuan exclaimed.

“Yeah, my Summoned Beast found it from a sea monster’s dead body,” Mo Fan said. He immediately realized something when he noticed the passionate look in Deng Yongchuan’s eyes. He took the initiative to speak, “How about this? I feel a little bad for taking the school’s valuable. I shall give this Sea Monster Agate which my army of wolves risked their lives to acquire to you as a gift.”

“No way, we can’t accept it. It’s your personal loot. Our school has offered you the Dark Moon Crystal to protect the island. It’s not the same, so please put it away,” Deng Yongchuan said sternly.

It was exactly what Mo Fan was waiting to hear. He nodded and put the object into his Space Bracelet.

“This is the Dark Moon Crystal. It’s a consumable. Go ahead and absorb its energy. It can temporarily provide you with abundant dark energy and greatly increase your cultivation,” Deng Yongchuan said.

“My Shadow Element has already peaked,” Mo Fan said.

“Oh, it will still benefit you,” Deng Yongchuan reassured him.

Mo Fan received the Dark Moon Crystal. He felt a soothing coldness flowing from his arm to his chest as soon as the crystal was in his hand. He felt the anxiety and worry in his heart cooling down. His thoughts were unprecedentedly calm and clear!

Darkness did not necessarily represent evil. Pure dark energy would actually provide a person with a sense of security, especially when their lives were being threatened. It would bring calmness and decisiveness when the person was surrounded by danger!

“Break it into pieces,” Lin Du instructed him.

Mo Fan nodded. His eyes suddenly emitted a dark flicker with a unique iciness!

Mo Fan broke the Dark Moon Crystal. Its pieces began to spread into his surroundings while defying the law of gravity. They did not travel very far away, simply floating around Mo Fan. They were inspecting Mo Fan like they were alive, seeming to have found a suitable candidate for them to reside in. After a brief pause, the pieces entered Mo Fan’s body.

The pieces seemed sharp, yet they transformed into a glowing liquid and dissolved into Mo Fan’s body instantly!
