Time gradually passed, and the second challenge week had arrived.
Mofan chose a student ranked in the top fifty to challenge him, hoping to earn a chance to enter the Three Step Tower next month.
The challenge went as planned. Mofan used the Swift Star Wolf to suppress his opponent, casting a series of fourth-tier Basic Spells at an incredible speed. He defeated the student ranked forty-eighth with an overwhelming advantage, successfully advancing to the top fifty.
As Mofan had expected, the students ranked in the top fifty had a full set of equipment. If it weren't for his three Elements, it would have been difficult for him to defeat his opponent. After all, the students ranked in the top fifty of the Fire School were as strong as Mu Ningxue when they were still exchange students.
Both the Imperial College and the Pearl Institute had plenty of experts in their main campuses. It would take a few years for a new student like him to dominate the school.
If the students ranked in the top fifty were already so strong, there was no need to mention the students ranked higher. Either way, Mofan believed it would be difficult for him to rank in the top ten if he did not solve the problems of his Contracted Beast, his third-tier Lightning Element, and his equipment.
Mofan did not aim too high and continued to challenge the students. Once he was ranked forty-eighth, he would be welcomed with stronger challengers. In order to preserve his strength to deal with the vampire, Mofan did not go any further. After all, entering the Three Step Tower was more than enough for him. He did not need to worry too much about the other resources.
More than a week had passed, yet the vampire still did not show up. Even Liu Ru thought he had given up. She was only having dreams and hallucinations because of her own mind.
Mofan and Ling Ling did not lower their guard. If they did not get rid of the vampire, they would not be able to let Liu Ru go back to her normal life.
Since their opponent was so patient, they would be patient too. Mofan continued to cultivate, while Zhao Manyan was taking care of Liu Ru. Even though Liu Ru's appearance had caused Zhao Manyan to break up with his new girlfriend, it did not really affect Zhao Manyan …
…
"Damn it, that vampire is really patient!" cursed Mofan in his heart when he returned to his apartment.
Was the vampire suffering from cerebral palsy? If he waited any longer, Zhao Manyan and Liu Ru's child would soon be a child. Didn't they say vampires were obsessed with their prey? How could Mofan not know what kind of an asshole Zhao Manyan was? With such a gentle girl spending so much time with him, Mofan would change his surname to Zhao!
Mofan lay on the couch and panicked …
What if the vampire did not show up?
He could not possibly keep protecting Liu Ru … oh, she no longer needed his protection. Zhao Manting was a lot more attentive than him now.
Liu Ru was not as stunning as Ding Yumian and Mui Nujiao, but she had her own unique charm. Even Mofan, who was used to seeing beautiful women, had a good first impression of Liu Ru, let alone Zhao Manyan, who was so desperate that he could not be picky!
Mofan's phone rang as he was feeling frustrated that his reward was about to fall through. It was a call from Zhao Manyan.
"Mofan, something's wrong," Zhao Manyan's voice suddenly turned deep.
"Are you trying to borrow money for the abortion?" Mofan joked.
"I'm serious, something's wrong with Liu Ru. You and Ling Ling should come here at once," Zhao Manyan did not sound like he was joking.
Mofan frowned. He could tell if Zhao Manyan was joking or not.
He did not think too much about it. He immediately contacted Ling Ling and headed to the place Zhao Manyan mentioned.
…
Everything happened so suddenly. When Mofan thought Liu Ru was going to live a shameless life with Zhao Manyan, he did not expect to see a cold, expressionless corpse.
She had fallen in the woods of the school. When Mofan arrived, her skin was extremely pale. Even her body was slightly shriveled. Apart from her pitiful face, Mofan could not believe that she was still the young girl who had the courage and determination to avenge her sister.
Zhao Manyan's coat was gently placed on Liu Ru's body. There were two ghastly bloody holes on her neck. The wounds were most likely the cause of her death …
The vampire did not try to hide it this time. The two bloody holes on Liu Ru's neck seemed to be purposely left there to mock the person who protected her. Mofan could even feel the mocking laughter of the hateful vampire in the wind blowing into the woods.
"I'm sorry, I failed to protect her." Zhao Manyan lowered his head. There were no tears in his eyes, but it was obvious that he was blaming himself.
Mofan also felt his heart being stabbed when he saw Liu Ru's corpse. A chill ran down his spine. When he saw the bloody holes, a flame of fury burned fiercely in Mofan's heart.
Provocation!
It was the vampire's provocation!
He had used Liu Ru's life to provoke Mofan's ridiculous plan of protecting and capturing the girl, just to tell Mofan not to mess with a vampire hiding in the dark. However, Mofan's anger was not because of the blatant provocation, but the fact that a girl's life was so cheap in the vampire's eyes …
Liu Ru's seemingly weak appearance hid a determination and courage that even a Magician would be impressed by. She did not cause too much trouble to Mofan when she was under his protection, nor did she disturb Mofan's life. She was grateful to Mofan, but she kept it hidden deep in her heart. However, her eyes would flicker with joy every time she saw Mofan.
Mofan had initially sympathized with her, but he was more interested in completing his quest to retrieve his expensive magic equipment. However, until now, Mofan was more inclined to treat Liu Ru as a friend who had gone through a lot. He sincerely wanted to help her get rid of the nightmare of being a vampire …
If the vampire was dissatisfied with him as a Hunter, he could just come straight at him. Mofan would not even frown. He had chosen to target Liu Ru, not because she was his prey, but as a warning, a provocation.
It was a life, the life of a girl!
The books mentioned that the lineage of vampires was more similar to humans. They could be treated as humans who had contracted a strange disease.
However, could he really be considered a human after what he was doing?
Mofan recalled what Huo Tuo had told him. Why should he care if they were humans or demon creatures? It was all about what they had done.
What had the vampire done!?
A person like him who did not deserve to be a human should be dealt with like an animal!
"Should we inform the authorities of the Hunter Union?" said Zhao Manyan.
"It's useless, unless we can provide the evidence that the vampire has committed the crime. You've seen it yourself, how big are the two holes? It looks like they were made by a sharp weapon," said Mofan.
Even someone like Huo Tuo could not prove that the vampire had committed the crime, let alone a corpse like this. The victim was not even a Magician, so they would eventually hand it over to the police.
"What should we do then?" said Zhao Manyan.
"Tell me everything that happened," Mofan was like a volcano that was about to erupt.
