The power of the Demon Element was too overwhelming, to an extent that even Mo Fan was a bit scared to use it.
The concept of the Demon Element was quite simple. From a scientific perspective, all energy was conserved. The temporary strength granted to him was actually him overdrawing the energy of his life and soul, leaving a huge hole behind. If he was unable to replenish the energy he took, he would be done for!
The Demon Element was basically signing a contract. He borrowed the money, thus he was obliged to settle the loan, together with the high interest!
The Soul Essences stored inside the Little Loach Pendant were a great help to him. Otherwise, it would be impossible for any ordinary Magician to live after using the Demon Element. It was the exact reason why all the test subjects in the military had died after using it. The problem was not how many Elements they had, but how they were going to pay the price when the demon came to collect the payment!
Simply speaking, Mo Fan could demonize anytime if he wanted, since the Demon Element was now his sixth Element. However, it was best to avoid using it unless absolutely necessary!
”I was about to ask...” Mo Fan was walking extremely close to Mu Ningxue. They were basically walking side by side with their shoulders sticking close. He would occasionally feel the touch of her smooth skin.
It was the privilege of being her childhood friend!
”Don't ask if it's about me being a substitute,” replied Mu Ningxue. The topic was bothering her.
”You're stopping people from having a great conversation with you,” sighed Mo Fan helplessly.
Mu Ningxue glanced at Mo Fan. Her gaze stopped for two seconds before she looked away.
”What is it?” Mo Fan was confused.
”Nothing, it's just that I've learned something profound from you,” said Mu Ningxue.
”If you're trying to say an ugly person should work harder, please don't,” said Mo Fan.
Mu Ningxue giggled and shook her head, ”Something like that, but it has nothing to do with your looks.”
”Well, what is it, then?”
”It's not really a big deal, but I think that your decision of not relying on any faction but yourself is the right choice,” said Mu Ningxue.
Mu Ningxue had experienced the true meaning of being a part of a clan. It was simply a cruel hierarchy disguised with blood relations, family, and relationships, an entity where rise and fall could happen in an instant. She had completely lost her status in the clan just because of an irrelevant stigma. All the effort and hard work she had put in were all in vain.
Her talent, Domain, her reputation as the most talented Ice Magician… they were inferior to a small decision made by the renowned Mu Clan. Her superiors could simply decide who they wanted to support. The others had no choice but to be left behind, and could do nothing but watch from the distance.
In just a few months, the difference between how Mu Ningxue was treated before and after was unbelievable. She initially thought she had the chance to still rise to the top as a substitute, but she was disheartened facing the sturdy barrier of her Nebula.
