1759 The Man that Came Out of a Golem (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
At night, Mo Fan resisted all kinds of temptations and instead sat on the balcony of his room. He enjoyed the night breeze from the bald mountain while attempting to break through the barrier of his Earth Element.
As a matter of fact, the experience of cultivating on the balcony reminded him of the days when he was still studying at Tian Lan Magic High back in Bo City. He had spent every night on his balcony, as he desperately wanted to stand out among his peers. He would not leave until sunrise. He would spend months doing the same thing, but making negligible progress.
However, it was completely different now. It had only been a few days since the Awakening of his Earth Element, yet he was already about to expand his Earth Element into a Nebula.
The barrier he was trying to break through was not very sturdy, mainly because Mo Fan's mental strength was simply too outstanding. The bottleneck he used to struggle against back when he was still in high school no longer existed.
”Great, the process is very smooth!”
Mo Fan rose to his feet and felt the fresh energy of the Earth Element pouring into his new Nebula.
He was more sensitive to the presence of the Earth Element in his surroundings after his cultivation improved. Earth Magic was indeed several times stronger when the Barrier Core was active, and was repelling the other Elements.
”I might be able to reach the Advanced Level of the Earth Element in no time by cultivating in an environment like this!” Mo Fan's eyes sprang open. He was glad that he had decided to tag along with the group!

Mo Fan practiced constructing the Lightning Star Palace for the rest of the night. The Star Palace was made up of twenty-four hundred and one Stars. Mo Fan had only reached the second Star Constellation, while the first one was the foundation of the Advanced Level he was already familiar with.
At dawn, Mo Fan stretched out and decided to take a walk on the street, as he was feeling a little hungry. He finally found a stall selling buns outside the fortress.
It was rare to see a breakfast place like this when only Mages were allowed to enter the city. It lightened up Mo Fan's mood, as he was a little worn out after cultivating for the whole night.
”Hey, are you serious about what you just said?” a Hunter whispered beside the stall.
”I saw it with my own eyes. A Rock Monster like nothing I've seen before came out of the ravine yesterday. The military took care of it...” a man wearing a straw hat said.
”I heard that too, but why was it a big deal?”
”It was not, until you saw what was inside the Rock Monster's body,” the man with a straw head continued theatrically.
”What could it be? Probably some expensive rock crystals, if we are lucky enough!”
Mo Fan was munching his buns without paying much attention to the conversation. However, he immediately raised his ears after hearing what the man had just said.
He was at the scene yesterday when the Rock Monster showed up. However, they had left early after the Rock Monster was taken out due to the argument. They did not see what the military did to the remains of the Rock Monster. To his surprise, there was a follow-up after the incident!
The Rock Monster was obviously an Elemental creature. Why would there be a living human inside it? Was the man eaten by the Rock Monster?
A piercing siren suddenly went off, startling the people in the city's west.
The siren was an indication that the city was under attack, so everyone was immediately on alert.
”Something has invaded the city, let's go take a look!”
”It's coming from the ravine!”
