Mu Nuo hadn't finished speaking when a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking him directly.
Although it was only a basic lightning seal, the power of this lightning was not weaker than intermediate magic.
But even so, Mu Nuo only suffered some superficial injuries and seemed to be fine?
"No wonder he could scare such an arrogant rich young lady like that; he really has some tricks up his sleeve," Tang Miao sneered, looking at the vampire Mu Nuo in front of him.
"Purple Heaven! Thunderclap! Overwhelming Strike!"
As Tang Miao pointed his finger, an even fiercer bolt of lightning instantly descended from the sky.
Just as Mu Nuo reacted and tried to dodge, his feet suddenly froze!
"Rumble..."
Another burst of thunderous explosions echoed, and the ground where Mu Nuo stood was split apart.
However, the physical strength of the Bloodline was not weak, and Tang Miao always liked to strike when his opponent was down.
His attacks, naturally, were aimed at incapacitating the opponent directly!
"Zzzzt..."
Lightning crackled, followed by wave after wave of destructive magic.
Even with a vampire's defense, under Tang Miao's lightning bombardment, he couldn't stir up any trouble.
The most important thing was that Tang Miao's magic was almost non-stop... Ice, lightning, space—all sorts of skills were directly unleashed upon Mu Nuo's body.
Old Man Bao and Lingling, watching the battle from afar, were both shocked. "Grandpa, that guy is truly a monster..."
Although Lingling had heard about Tang Miao's power, hearing about it and witnessing it firsthand were two completely different concepts.
His fierce combat power was simply indescribable... The most terrifying thing was that his output alone was almost equivalent to two small teams.
Old Man Bao took a puff of his cigarette, then sighed with emotion, "It seems I, an old man, worried too much."
He had been afraid that Tang Miao and Lingling wouldn't be able to handle it, which was why he came here.
He never expected the outcome to be like this?
The grandfather and granddaughter in the distance were shocked, and Liu Ying, standing behind Tang Miao, was even more stunned, her mouth agape...
She desperately wanted to get rid of this demon, but the opponent was intelligent.
As soon as a high-level mage appeared nearby, he would simply not show up.
And high-level mages weren't her family; once they left, he would reappear.
This Mu Nuo was a nightmare for her.
At this moment, seeing hope, Liu Ying excitedly said, "Kill him! As long as you can kill him, I'll have my dad pay you ten times the bounty!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao stopped tormenting the vampire.
He just found these creatures disgusting. After all, national resources were so scarce, and these things still wanted a piece of the pie; dying was too easy for him.
These creatures might not dare to kill mages, but ordinary beautiful girls were a different story...
Therefore, Tang Miao had been slow to deliver the final blow, not because he couldn't kill him, but just to let him suffer some retribution.
But after hearing what Liu Ying said, Tang Miao no longer held back.
Of course, he wasn't doing it for the money; this was for justice!
"Purple Heaven Domain!"
"Rumble..."
In this lightning-filled area, after the domain was activated, Mu Nuo convulsed even more from the electricity.
After breaking his two fangs, another bolt of lightning descended, and this imposing Mu Nuo, without even managing to retaliate, was completely reduced to ashes.
"Hoo~"
Although torturing the ghost was satisfying, the consumption of magic power was also extremely high.
After a slight gasp, Tang Miao turned to look at Liu Ying, who was crying with excitement, and said calmly, "Remember what you just said."
With that, he left.
Tang Miao loved money and girls, but he wasn't particularly interested in those who passively accepted their fate in times of trouble.
Even if her chest was truly magnificent...
After leaving, Tang Miao received a message from Lingling.
By the time he met up with Lingling, Old Man Bao had already left.
Lingling looked at Tang Miao and said, "You're very strong; you can barely be my partner."
Tang Miao reached out and pinched her little face, saying, "Didn't I already tell you? You're in charge of the brains, and I'm in charge of the fighting.
In the future, we'll be the youngest Hunter Kings, won't we?"
Lingling nodded happily, not minding Tang Miao pinching her little face.
Lingling then said, "For this reward, I'll take five hundred thousand, and the rest is yours."
Tang Miao waved his hand and said, "No need, half and half is fine."
"Money is useless to me right now.
After I awaken my magic, you can make it up to me then. Besides, she specifically increased the price for you this time."
Upon hearing this, Tang Miao's mouth curved into a slight smile.
Although it was shameless, he had already guessed that Lingling wouldn't want the money.
"Then thanks~"
How could Lingling not see that this shameless guy was playing mind games with her?
But she didn't mind.
After all, if Tang Miao became her partner, his strength would make it easier to take on future bounty missions, wouldn't it?
After the vampire incident concluded, Liu Ying's father transferred ten million the next day.
Lingling only took five hundred thousand, giving the rest to Tang Miao.
Tang Miao then gave all the money to Tang Yue, who informed him that the Profound Serpent Demon Armor had been successfully forged.
However, Tang Miao would only be able to use it after reaching the high-level stage.
Additionally, she had prepared a pair of magical boots for Tang Miao, named "Cloud-Treading Boots," also of high-level.
Originally, Tang Yue intended to get him intermediate-level magic equipment, but Tang Miao directly requested high-level ones.
Finally, Tang Yue had to agree, as with Tang Miao's cultivation speed, reaching the high-level was indeed not difficult.
Over the next month, Tang Miao spent his time cultivating and taking bounties with Lingling.
After a month passed, Tang Miao, having nothing else to do, once again entered the Three-Step Pagoda.
Dean Xiao, like the lightning element instructor, was extremely helpless with students like Tang Miao who only came to collect resources and didn't participate in anything...
However, scolding or anything of the sort was certainly out of the question.
After all, his talent and strength were evident...
This time, Tang Miao directly entered the third floor.
After seven days, he successfully cultivated his lightning element to the third level.
At eighteen years old, his intermediate magic had reached the third level; there were few in the entire world who could boast the same.
After leaving the Three-Step Pagoda, Tang Miao's first order of business was naturally to inform Tang Yue.
Tang Yue was indeed surprised to learn that Tang Miao had reached the same cultivation level as her...
Mingzhu Academy's Three-Step Pagoda was excellent, but the Disciplinary Committee's benefits weren't bad either!
Under these circumstances, for Tang Miao to catch up in such a short time, who would believe that he wasn't exceptionally talented?
Of course, both of them knew that the Qilin Jade in Tang Miao's body had also given him immense help.
However, only the two of them knew about this matter...
