Chapter 318: Chapter 318: High-Tier Summoning, Contract of the Gate

Lu Jun’s Summoning Element had been stuck at Full Intermediate for quite a while.

It was simply because his Contract Summoned Beasts were not yet ideal, so he hadn’t dared to make the leap to High-Tier all at once.

But now, having contracted with the Mermaid, the moon-white nebula within his spiritual world surged upward, nearly uncontrollable—on the verge of sublimation.

Moreover, this was Lu Jun’sfirst Elemental breakthrough without external aid, achieved solely through personal effort.

Understandably so—after such prolonged accumulation. Let’s not forget the half-year of nourishment from theWhite Tiger Pendantand theGalaxy Magic Tool, which had pushed both hisMetalandMindElements to the peak of High-Tier Level One.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Lu Jun was fully immersed in his closed-door cultivation. Within the dark universe of his mind, the moon-white nebula surged mightily, breaking through its barrier and transforming into a grand and mightymoon-white star river, its 343 stars dazzlingly radiant across the flow.

In that instant, within his spiritual world, six dragon-like forces spiraled and coiled, each a different hue—jet black, crimson-black, moon-white, pure silver, translucent, and platinum—gleaming with brilliance.

At the sensory level, black and white formed the foundation, faintly creating the dual camps ofYin and Yang.

All Elements High-Tier—Lu Jun experienced a unique enlightenment. It was as if the transcendent forces of Super-Tier had been solidly laid. Among mages of the same tier, each of his Elements boasted complete methods, Soul Seeds, and spiritual realms—as though fully maxed out.

Any one of them could be a trump card, able to stand on its own.

Rumble—

At the moment of breakthrough, a constellation of moon-white stars appeared behind him, forming a pattern resembling a towering white jade immortal gate, awe-inspiring and radiant.

It was none other than the High-Tier Summoning Spell:Gate of the Beast Tide.

Within Lu Jun’s Contract Space, both theMermaid Princessand theNight Thunder Dreambeastfrom the otherworldly summoning plane felt it—the void-passing Summoning Mana surged suddenly. Knowing their master had advanced, they couldn’t help but rejoice.

A short while later, Lu Jun calmed the surging magic energy, a smile curving his lips.

With his rise to High-Tier, the long-hidden ancient treasure—thePre-Qin Bamboo Scroll: Contract of the Gate—could finally be used.

Rip—!

He pulled out a rustic bamboo scroll. Without hesitation, he tore open its seal and unrolled the cylinder.

Whoosh...

The bamboo pages unfolded midair, glowing brilliantly, densely covered with tadpole-like blackPre-Qin Small Seal Script—an ancient contract inscription.

Immediately, the black characters detached from the scroll and floated around the meditating Lu Jun, filling the air with the fragrance of ink and lending him an aura of antiquity.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

Lu Jun’s Summoning Element resonated powerfully. The illusory constellation behind him began to solidify. The 343 stars, even before he had fully mastered them, arranged themselves automatically and unleashed the High-Tier SpellGate of the Beast Tide.

Behind him, amajestic and sacred moon-white Summoning Gatedescended.

As it appeared, those black characters in midair seemed to find their target. Like swallows returning to their nests, they shot toward the moon-white Beast Tide Gate, engraving themselves inch by inch onto its pristine jade surface.

Soon, the moon-white gate behind Lu Jun wascompletely coveredin the black tadpole-like script, eerie and twisted, exuding an extraordinary arcane aura that shook the soul.

Ancient Spell Technique – Contract of the Gate!

Lu Jun sensed that this High-Tier Gate had opened anexclusive Contract Space, intricately connected to his spirit, bridging two realms.

"Damn, I haven’t even figured out the second Life Contract yet, and now the third Gate Contract’s already been unlocked."

He grumbled internally, though unable to hide his delight. A fully matured Summoning Element included:one Dimension Summon, two Life Contracts, and one Gate Contract—four Summoned Beastsin total!

He was truly taking off.

And that wasn’t all. Lu Jun had also contracted aWater Element Holy Spirit, which finally allowed him toupgrade his Intermediate-Tier Summoning Spell to Level Four.

Perfect timing, too—back when saving the Mermaid mother and daughter, he had slaughtered countless Sea Monster armies. The number ofServant-Level Soul Essencealone reached aroundthree hundred, meaning he had killed overten thousand Servant-level beasts.

HisWarrior-level Soul Essencehad also recovered to seven, withCommander-level fragmentsnumbering two or three.

He had never fought a war this rich before.

"White Tiger, give me a power-up! I want to see your limits!"

Lu Jun roared within his mind. First, he upgraded his Intermediate Summoning Spell toLevel Four, consumingforty-two Servant Soul Essence.

Now, he was not onlyHigh-Tier in all Elements, but alsoLevel Four in all Intermediate Spells.

Soon, Lu Jun comprehended the effect ofLevel Four Intermediate Summoning Spell—Summon Link.

An advancement beyondLevel Three Summon Guardian, it allowed his mind and the Mermaid to remain spiritually attuned,regardless of distance, capable of exchanging thoughts.

Moreover, theirmental energy and mana could be shared. For instance, if Lu Jun’s mana was depleted and his spirit exhausted, then the Water Element Holy Spirit could act as hismagical and spiritual power bank—asecond backup mana bar.

"This ability is really practical. In war, proper communication is key."

Lu Jun was pleased. At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but the realbugwas that this kind ofspiritual connection was like quantum entanglement—unaffected by any restrictions or seals.

Of theremaining 250 Servant Soul Essence, since he hadn’t fully maxed any of his High-Tier Spells yet, he chose not to use them for now.

As for theseven Warrior-level Soul Essence, Lu Jun didn’t hold back. He used them to upgrade oneLevel Five Basic Spell.

Currently, he hadthree Level Five Basic Spells: Water, Mind, and Curse. For this precious slot, he hesitated for a moment—not choosing the aggressiveMetal Element, which would likely just boost attack. At this point, he wasn’t lacking in firepower.

What he lacked wasTrue Name Foresight,Soul Lock from Afar, and othersuper-tier support magic.

Anyway, ever since he unlocked those two passives recently, he’d uncovered a ton of secrets—who knew so many girls in the Pearl Academy were talking about him?

As for Tang Yue, Lu Mei (his older sister), or even the ambiguous Ding Yumin—those with whom he’d had actual relationships—when it came to triggering True Name Foresight, they ranked bottom three... among the lists of girls, enemies, and even men.

That’s right, truth hurts. Once something’s in your hands, you stop treasuring it.

Cough cough cough, just kidding. In a way, they were very confident in him.

Lu Jun shook his head and decided to first level up his Basic Space Magic – Telekinesis to Level 5.

Because the Level 4 Force Field was already quite impressive for all-around defense—Level 5 might bring a pleasant surprise.

Bzzz! Bzzz! Bzzz!

One after another, he drew war-general grade soul essences rich in immense energy into his spiritual world. They resembled clusters of dim-blue flame, burning fiercely around the seven core stars at the center of his pure silver galaxy.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, the crystal-clear stars advanced to Level 5, growing to the size of a clenched fist.

Lu Jun sensed it—Level 5 Telekinesis: [Phasing]!

"This is... a god-tier skill."

His eyes widened in disbelief. In simple terms, this effect was equivalent to Obito’s Kamui Phasing from Naruto.

He could instantly slip into a sub-dimensional space to evade all real-world damage.

Among Commander-level beings, this was practically an invincibility hack.

It’s worth noting that Mo Fan would also acquire phasing in the future, but that came from a transcendent power via Super-tier Shadow Magic—so it was even more unstoppable.

Lu Jun’s Telekinesis-based Phasing had flaws. It couldn’t withstand a Grand Commander-level being that could shatter space, or a mid-tier Space Mage who’d mastered Level 4 Dimensional Anchor.

"A bit lacking is fine—it’s still just Basic Magic after all."

Even so, he nodded in satisfaction. This round of cultivation slightly increased his overall strength. Once he fully mastered his High-tier Summoning Star Constellation, he’d possess his strongest AOE spell yet.

RUMBLE!!

Just as Lu Jun’s seclusion was about to end, a deafening explosion rang out from outside.

"What just happened?"
