Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant

Lu Jun stood atop the straight antenna, overlooking Bo City. The dense cluster of buildings was clearly visible, and his expression grew somewhat pensive.

In the original timeline, the Winged Wolf had occupied the Silver Trading Tower, instilling fear in human society and reigning like a king. But now, the roles had reversed. He stood under the vast sky, causing the members of the Black Vatican to tremble in terror.

Time and space had flipped, the scene swapped. There was an ethereal feeling of life's impermanence.

The gears of fate turned, altering their forward direction.

After a brief silence, Lu Jun broke into a reckless smile and softly recited, "Every ten steps, I kill someone; in a thousand miles, I leave none behind. A swordsman cultivates his body, rides the wind, and slays demons across the heavens and earth!"

Some might call Lu Jun immature, but his indomitable will to rewrite fate could not be suppressed. Vaguely, he seemed to grasp the essence of sword cultivation.

Lu Jun's right hand shimmered with a bright platinum radiance. He slowly raised it, and the twelve-meter-long Gold Metal Heavy Sword on the distant ground quivered slightly. Its massive frame lifted gradually, then roared into the sky. Meanwhile, his left hand clenched, shrinking the sword into a three-foot blade radiating sharpness, modest but formidable.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Under his willpower and dual-hand control, the Metal Flying Sword darted through the city as though sketching elegant strokes on a muddied canvas.

In the rainy night, killing intent surged. Waves of air sliced through the downpour from time to time, crisscrossing in deadly arcs. The splashing rain transformed into torrential sprays.

Amidst the powerful momentum, blood blossoms bloomed in the darkness—ghastly yet strikingly vivid.

Although the rainy night was pitch-black, making visibility nearly impossible, Lu Jun's spiritual senses expanded. Through his First realm of Spiritual realm, he locked onto numerous targets and executed precise strikes. In a flash, more than thirty Black Beast Monsters were eradicated.

Upon releasing Intermediate Metal Magic for the first time, Lu Jun realized how challenging Weapon Control was. Its ability to change size and weight, the precision required to control its golden edge, and its multi-dimensional combat across land, sea, and air demanded immense mental focus and spatial awareness.

Without proper mastery, not only would its power be diminished, but it could also lead to accidental harm to allies.

Furthermore, although Weapon Control compensated for the Metal Element's short-range combat limitations, its range depended on one's spiritual cultivation and level. The higher one's tier, the greater the range of control.

Fortunately, Lu Jun had awakened Psychic Magic at the Intermediate level, which significantly resolved these issues. It also contributed to his spiritual cultivation. With his current Tier 1 Spiritual Sense, his extended range was sufficient for sweeping through the Intermediate level.

If the Metal Element were to become widely utilized, Lu Jun would undoubtedly be among its finest practitioners, having trained rigorously to master it.

The more he slaughtered, the more grateful Lu Jun felt for the strong support and mysterious traits of the Psychic Element. These traits enhanced his Water, Metal, and Curse Elements, amplifying his combat power in every aspect.

Eventually, due to the flying sword's flamboyant movements and its colossal form when in Heavy Sword mode, it became impossible to conceal. Even in the rain, many people witnessed it firsthand as it slaughtered demons and displayed unmatched prowess.

"Look! On top of that skyscraper, who is that? A mage?"

Under the safety enchantments, civilians in the safe zone marveled. A young girl pointed excitedly at the skyscraper, exclaiming, "So cool! Is he the one killing the Black Vatican's monsters?"

Her words drew everyone's attention to the indistinct figure atop the skyscraper. Despite the obstructing rain and night, the azure Water Cloak he wore was still strikingly eye-catching.

The three-foot-long platinum sword gliding through the city appeared to be this mysterious powerhouse's magical tool.

One man roared in approval, "Kill them! Wipe out those damned Black Vatican scum!"

"A true hero!" exclaimed an experienced mage with admiration. "This kind of magical tool must be of the highest grade."

Amid the crowd, Mo Jiaxing pushed Ye Xinxia in her wheelchair, gazing up at the scene. Zhang Xiaohou stood close to He Yu, their hands tightly clasped, their eyes firmly fixed on the towering skyscraper and the silver sword above it.

Even Mu Bai and Zhao Kunsan were present. Initially terrified by the sudden crimson alarm, they were now gradually reassured by this commanding display of power.

This time, Zhang Xiaohou wasn't inspired by the lone figure of himself slaying the leader-tier Winged Cyan Wolf in the original timeline. Instead, he was drawn to Lu Jun's majestic demeanor as he executed judgment on the Black Vatican.

He Yu, still alive, found the love and responsibility shown in times of disaster no less profound than the thirst for vengeance.

Zhang Xiaohou gripped He Yu's hand tightly and said resolutely, "He Yu, I want to be like that powerhouse—to protect people from harm. I want to join the military."

He understood that with his cultivation of Basic Level 2 upon graduating from high school, even if he were accepted into a university, he wouldn't receive much attention. Joining the military was a viable path.

"I understand," He Yu said softly. "And I want to hold up my half of the sky. I'll become a strong, independent female mage. Let's go together."

"Quick, quick, quick!" Many people eagerly took out their phones. "Record this and upload it online. This is just too cool, slaughtering the Black Vatican scum."

Though these people seemed to lack urgency and seriousness, if Lu Jun were here, he would find comfort in their reactions. Compared to the original timeline, where Bo City was shrouded in grief, families were broken, and sorrow was overwhelming, this scene was the greatest acknowledgment of humanity's guardianship.

Suffering doesn't make people grow—experience does.

The smiles had merely shifted from one group to another.

While Bo City rejoiced, the Black Vatican suffered.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

On a certain street, the massive three-zhang-long Heavy Sword plowed through, like a giant tractor carving a deep trench in the area. When the sword lifted again, the trench was filled with mangled corpses, resembling a slaughterhouse.

Two Black Vatican members, cloaked in black, cowered under the ruins of a crumbling wall, trembling with fear. They had narrowly escaped death.

Yu Ang, pale and gasping for breath, asked, "Are you still planning to seize the Holy Spring?"

Beside him, his partner Bai Yang's face was grim. "Let's observe first. If force doesn't work, I'll try a cleverer approach under the military's guise."

"Good luck, then," Yu Ang muttered, already terrified. "That guy might not recognize my identity. It's up to you."

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Moments later, atop the skyscraper, Lu Jun raised his hand, and in the rainy night sky, a streak of platinum light resembling a rainbow shot back toward him. The three-foot-long platinum sword returned, hovering around him, radiating murderous energy like a dormant white flood dragon ready to strike.

Looking down at the city, Lu Jun murmured, "This should be enough. Time to conserve mana."

At least 150 Black Beast Monsters had fallen under his sword, leaving behind a trail of blood. Tang Yue, Lu Mei, and Lin Yuxin had all broken free and, following his instructions, headed toward the border outposts.

The mages within the safety enchantments, mobilized by official organizations, continuously supported the front lines.

As Bo City regrouped, the demon wolves and monsters would soon face an unyielding iron fist.

The remaining Black Beast Monsters that roamed the city after evading the sword net paid a heavy price in blood just to reach the base of the Silver Trading Tower.

At this range, using Metal Element attacks wasn't cost-effective. Lu Jun's Metal Element nebula only had about 20% mana left, making close combat the more efficient option.

The problem lay in the high consumption rate of the Intermediate-level Weapon Control, which could sustain continuous operation but drained energy rapidly
