Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant-Chapter 185: Curse High Tier

Among the three treasures, Lu Jun first focused his mind on the White Tiger Pendant, channeling nineteen servant souls, one warlord soul, and a single commander-level remnant soul into the dark green nebula within his spiritual world.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The Curse System Nebula rapidly expanded, and the forty-two unenhanced stars within it began advancing, each growing significantly in size.

The sheer potency of a commander-level soul must be mentioned. Even as a remnant soul, it held immense value, capable of strengthening summoned creatures,twenty stars were instantly fortified.

Curse System Advanced to Mid-Tier Level 4!

Without hesitation, Lu Jun skillfully harnessed this newfound power to strike fiercely at the barrier of the High Tier.

Simultaneously, the Star River Vein and the curse material merged into a surging torrent of energy. Like relentless waves, they pounded against the barrier, making the nebula's outer membrane increasingly fragile.

Truth be told, his foundation in the Curse System wasn't as solid as his Water System. He had fewer opportunities and encounters in this domain.

Yet, with such comprehensive preparations, success was inevitable.

In the outside world, Lu Jun's aura surged dramatically. A sinister black-red energy spread in all directions, covering a radius of several meters. Behind him, a fearsome demonic silhouette loomed, exuding despair and ominous energy.

Just as Lu Jun believed his Curse System would advance smoothly, an unexpected occurrence took place.

Roar! Roar! Roar!

For some unknown reason, the White Tiger Pendant on his chest reacted violently. It seemed to have sensed the unique presence of the curse material [Blood Abyss] and was provoked into awakening.

The dormant White Tiger came to life, emitting a series of deep growls. Its grayish-white glow pulsed radiantly as its energy soared. It appeared to be on the verge of evolving from a Star Nebula Artifact to a Star River Artifact.

Unfortunately, it lacked sufficient energy. Exhaustion set in, causing it to falter and revert to its original state.

However, within its inner space, the Blood Lake trembled, releasing a surge of murderous blood energy that merged into the [Blood Abyss] curse material.

Sizzle!

Dark red light engulfed Lu Jun, and under the influence of the White Tiger Pendant, the sinister shadow behind him became streaked with platinum patterns. What was once purely eerie and despair-inducing now bore an air of nobility and supremacy.

It was as if he had transitioned from a malevolent god to a righteous deity of slaughter.

Gradually, the two forces merged. Lu Jun kept his eyes shut, sensing the anomaly but not attempting to resist it. He remained focused on his breakthrough to the High Tier, merely finding the White Tiger Pendant's reaction odd.

It had remained dormant for so long, so why was it responding now, just as his Curse System reached High Tier?

Boom!

Lu Jun's mental world quaked violently, nearly manifesting the disturbance into reality. A deep rumbling echoed.

The dark green nebula suddenly burst through its membrane. Forty-nine stars, brimming with magical energy, surged forth like a flood.

A vast, winding dark green Star River coiled through the void of his spiritual domain.

Nebula had transformed into Star River!

Yet, this was not the end.

A continuous influx of black-red energy from the void tainted the dark green Star River. In the blink of an eye, the entire river turned black-red, its power surging to a terrifying extent.

At the same time, his Water System Star River seemed to be affected, resonating in response.

A breathtaking scene unfolded in his spiritual world—a brilliant blue dragon and a black-red dragon coiled together in a double-helix formation.

Each dragon bore a pearl atop its head: one a sky-blue Water Avoidance Pearl, the other a dark-red Blood Abyss.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

In the outside world, the dark green curse patterns on Lu Jun's wrist became contaminated. Under the powerful assimilation of the Blood Abyss, they grew more refined and intricate, spreading across his entire body. Their effects significantly enhanced.

His second-stage corruption explosion's power drastically increased, now incorporating the blood curse of the Blood Clan, alongside serving as a medium for casting blood magic.

From this moment on, his curse material should be called [Blood Abyss Curse Seal].

Lu Jun's skin turned pale, and black-red sacrificial patterns covered his entire body. He radiated both sinister and noble energy, his aura surging.

In the next instant, his eyes snapped open as he stood up.

His spiritual force had undergone a fundamental transformation.

A vast tide of soul energy surged outward, glowing silver, almost manifesting into physical form.

His spiritual force, which had been stuck for a long time, used the Curse System breakthrough as a catalyst to shatter its limits, instantly reaching the peak of the Fourth Realm equivalent to the power of Soul Seeds.

Lu Jun's strength had skyrocketed. His Curse System had now become his trump card.

With both Water and Curse Systems at his disposal, he was confident he could suppress Ai Jiangtu's team members of the same tier.

Of course, he still had a long way to go before winning the National Battle Championship.

The main members of those national powerhouse teams all possessed at least three High Tier elements plus a Soul Seed, with some even reaching High Tier Level 2. Most of them had finishing moves at the peak of the High Tier.

Lu Jun didn't dwell on this for long. Instead, he quickly examined the White Tiger Pendant, which had experienced the strange mutation earlier.

Soon, he received an answer. His face showed surprise and joy.

It turned out that the pendant hadn't reacted to his Metal System advancing to the High Tier, nor had it stirred during his first entry into the High Tier.

Rather, the Curse System itself fell under the White Tiger's domain.

Upon reaching High Tier [Demon Punishment] level, it triggered a reaction, even purifying his curse material [Blood Abyss] to a new level.

"The White Tiger, ruler of the mountains, embodies the golden aura of the Western Heavens and possesses the ability to commune with the netherworld, enslaving souls into vengeful ghosts."

Lu Jun muttered to himself, recalling the well-known phrase "becoming a vengeful ghost for the tiger." Almost all tiger-related deities had this ability, and among them, Yu Lei was even a guardian deity of the underworld.

The ability to capture souls corresponded to the Mind System's [Soul Captivation and Mind Control], while communing with the netherworld aligned with the Curse System's [Demon Punishment].

In the magical world, the Dark Plane was likely the equivalent of the traditional underworld. After all, among the Four Dark Kings, one even held the "Underworld Throne."

Additionally, whether it was the Mid-Tier 'Evil Spider Trap' or the High-Tier 'Demon Punishment', the Curse System fundamentally involved sacrificing magical energy to the Dark King, who in turn dispatched creatures such as Devouring Soul Evil Spiders and Vengeful Phantom Specters to obey their summoner.

In a way, this was essentially summoning curse spirits.

However, with the White Tiger Pendant's transformation of his Curse Element, Lu Jun no longer needed to make deals with the Dark King. Instead, he could refine a high-quality soul himself to create a Vengeful Ghost.

Whenever he cast Demon Punishment, the Vengeful Ghost's Curse would descend, a power fully belonging to him.

The future held limitless possibilities. After all, mass-produced ghost creatures couldn't compare to personally crafted ones. Even better, spirits refined into Demon Punishment retained high intelligence, eliminating the need for a mage to manually control them.

Lu Jun was thrilled.

However, refining human souls into cursed specters was completely unacceptable in magical society it was classified as forbidden sorcery.

Likewise, he wouldn't use it recklessly against ordinary people or even common criminals. It would disrupt the natural order.

Moreover, most souls were unqualified for the process.

Lu Jun felt a tinge of regret.

If his Curse Element had reached High Tier earlier, perhaps Lu Nian's soul would have barely met the requirements—an evil spirit at the peak of High Tier.

But there was no point dwelling on it. Lu Nian's soul had already been annihilated.

He fell into deep thought.

For Demon Punishment, the best choice was to refine the soul of a mage with strong spiritual power. This would determine its future potential.

If he reached the Super Tier and nurtured it over time, his Vengeful Ghost might even attain Monarch-level combat strength.
