Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant

Soon, the officers led a team of more than sixty mid-tier mages away.

Lu Jun nodded as he watched everyone leave. The flood disaster, accompanied by the invasion of flood demons, was the most troublesome. It was a hundred times more difficult than dealing with demon tribes on land. The underground water systems were crisscrossed with gaps and weaknesses everywhere.

The demon hunting teams, the Judgement Guild, and the Military had been putting out fires all over, but the crocodile demons held the initiative. This was probably another reason why the super-powerful beings of the Magic City didn't intervene. Combat power was not always the key factor. When the crocodiles retreated into the deep river, no matter how many people they had, it was powerless to stop them.

Moreover, Lu Jun considered that with others present, he couldn't fully exert his strength. While Gold and Mind Magic could be subtle, using mid-tier magic would make it obvious, so he had to be cautious.

Only Lu Mei and Tang Yue were trustworthy. The former knew almost everything, and the latter had broad experience, even fantasizing about some super magic equipment.

The three stayed behind, exchanged a smile, and sat cross-legged to recover their magical energy.

News came from all directions, the situation was dire. The floodwaters were rising, and a large number of Earth mages would need to be sent, perhaps tens of thousands of people to form temporary dams.

Lu Jun immersed himself in his spiritual world, the azure-blue nebula of Water Magic barely recovering halfway when suddenly, a mental disturbance caught his attention.

"Hehehe, they leave and come right back. These demons are cunning."

He sneered, not taking action yet. His spiritual sense detected a shallow black shadow moving under the water at the ferry, seemingly gathering intelligence— a scout from the crocodile demon tribe.

Thus, Lu Jun didn't strike. Killing a few crocodile demons would only alert them. Instead, it was better to set a trap, wait patiently, and catch them in a net.

He then sent a mental message to the two mature and steady elder sisters beside him: "Crocodile demons are coming, stay silent."

Both women were sharp. They maintained their meditation on the surface, while secretly controlling the star charts, ready to react at any moment.

Meanwhile, Lu Jun began to set up. The dark green Curse Magic nebula released magical energy, weaving invisible nets across the lake and the dam. Only souls could perceive them.

Gurgle, gurgle!

It was unclear how much time passed, but bubbles began to rise from the ferry. Gradually, the lake became deeper. The crocodile demons had gathered another seven or eight hundred of their kin, but there were no advanced Warrior-level among them.

Lu Jun observed the numbers, secretly alarmed. The Huangpu crocodile tribe was no ordinary group. There might even be an Commander Level, commanding tens of thousands of demons.

Suddenly, the lake surged violently, raising towering waves over thirty meters high. The massive flood almost submerged the dam.

Lu Jun opened his eyes in shock. The crocodile demons were known for their physical strength and close combat, being rare amphibious monsters. But when did they gain control over water?

If they had this ability before, why were they being dominated by the few Water Magic mages?

Without time to ponder, Lu Jun quickly focused his control over the stars, almost reaching the state of Star Track With a thought. He cast three Level 3 Water Defense: Circulate on himself, his sister, and Tang Yue.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The air's moisture was drawn in, quickly weaving into several brilliant azure ribbons of water, swirling around the three of them.

Lu Mei and Tang Yue reacted swiftly, releasing their mid-tier spells.

Wind Demon: Wind Disc: Shredding! Sparrow Flame: Flaming Fist: Nine Palaces!

Both women's auras surged, and a massive white tornado shot into the sky. The whirlwind spun rapidly, slicing through the towering waves with a 'whoosh,' sending water splashing and rain pouring.

Then Tang Yue unleashed nine fiery serpents, crashing into the tidal lake surface. A sea of fire erupted, sizzling, evaporating the water, and turning the area from damp to dry.

However, before the trio could relax, they saw a new wave approaching from the faraway inlet, a white line emerging, rapidly growing into a towering thirty-meter-high wave.

In the next moment, the monstrous wave crashed down, sweeping millions of tons of water, and sent Lu Jun and the others flying. The wave seemed to have a life of its own, retracting back into the lake.

The water carried the trio, forcing them back into the sea. They couldn't resist at all.

Anyone who's ever played in the ocean knows that even a tide reaching their ankles can destabilize them, and when it reaches the waist, it's life-threatening. Struggling only pulls you further from the shore. The best choice is to breathe and conserve energy for self-rescue.

If the wave is taller than a person, there's no escape. You're done for.

Now, this ten-meter-high flood was almost enough to drown them immediately.

The fact that this ten-meter-high flood did not kill three people on the spot was a testament to the power of Tide, Water Defense:Circulation

Of course, when they fell into the water, the Circulation was overwhelmed by the impact, breaking apart into countless azure droplets. Lu Jun inhaled water into his nose, mouth, and eyes. His vision blurred, and he instinctively closed his eyes, feeling pain and suffocation.

The lake water surged around him, spinning him in all directions. His spiritual sense detected massive crocodile figures closing in from below.

Lu Jun's heart sank. This was bad. A human mage fighting underwater with demons was a sure way to be beaten senseless.

If he were at a higher level, he could easily control the water elements or use high-tier spells like Water Curtain Heaven to save his sister and Tang Yue. Now, he could only focus on saving himself.

His beginner-level Water Magic, though at Level 3, was only enough to block light winds and rains. For underwater breathing and handling chaotic waters, he was far from capable.

Clearly, this wasn't a mere crocodile tribe disturbance. There were powerful demons with expert water control involved. Mid-tier Water mages were powerless.

"I can't wait any longer."

Despite the painful water entering his nose and mouth, he made a decisive decision. His thoughts guided two complete souls in the White Tiger Pendant into the azure Water Magic nebula. It might be worth millions, but his life was more valuable.

Pop, pop!

Two crisp sounds rang out. Seven large stars in the nebula began to rotate around a vortex, releasing powerful but gentle magic energy.

Lu Jun felt his affinity with water elements growing, as if his body had absorbed heavenly dew, transforming him into water itself. The next time he used a six-time amplified storm, it would be even easier to control.

He quickly used his mental sense to lock onto his sister Lu Mei and Tang Yue, manipulating the star tracks and releasing the fourth-level Water Magic:Black Dragon!

The instinct transmitted by the Water Magic nebula seemed to indicate that Level 4 Water Magic worked more on oneself.

Buzz, buzz!

Lu Jun's body radiated azure light, and surging water energy poured out from his body. His fair skin shimmered with intricate water scales, forming a tough inner armor, looking indestructible, while shining light reflected from his body.

Externally, he was cloaked in a water wind coat. Massive water flows coiled around him like a giant azure serpent, protecting him from all Sides
