Departure, Shanghai! The Cold Hunter King and his daughter

Chapter 41 Departure, Shanghai! The Cold Hunter King and his daughter

After his training ended, with more than a month left in summer vacation, Ling Tianyu devoted himself to cultivation, occasionally hunting demons outside the city. To date, he has killed hundreds of demons, more than many seasoned hunters, including many powerful demon generals!

To date, Ling Tianyu has enough Hunter Points to advance him to the [Elite Hunter] level.

"Seven combined servant essences, one warrior essence, five servant essences..." Ling Tianyu's mind sank into the little Qilin pendant, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

The little Qilin had previously absorbed a warrior's essence, raising its level to the Nebula Magic Weapon level, greatly enhancing its auxiliary effects.

The spatial and mental magic systems are progressing in tandem, both reaching the second level of the initial stage. The curse magic system is on the verge of a breakthrough, but lacks sufficient foundation, and even with the assistance of the Nebula Vein, the probability of success is very low.

"Summer vacation is almost over, it's time to go to Shanghai and see what good plant spirit seeds they have!" Ling Tianyu considered for a moment and finalized the itinerary.

His plant-based magic, based solely on his innate talent, already seems capable of rivaling magic enhanced by spirit seeds. If he were to acquire a superior spirit seed, wouldn't that be like adding wings to a tiger?

Bo City is just a small city. Its magical resources can only support novice mages at most, while mid-level resources are extremely scarce. This is why you rarely see young mid-level mages in Bo City. They can't improve at all here!

However, as a world-class metropolis, Shanghai's prosperity is self-evident. In terms of economy and magical resources alone, it ranks among the top two in the country, even surpassing Beijing. This is similar to the relationship between the Pearl River Delta and the Imperial Capital's universities.

This city is also his future goal; he really covets the Mingzhu Academy and its three towers!

There are no direct trains from Bocheng to Shanghai. You have to take a bus to the nearest island, Xiamen, and then transfer before you can catch a train to Shanghai.

This was also the first time Ling Tianyu had ever seen a train in the magical world. It looked exactly like the high-speed rail in his previous life, but its internal energy supply was completely different. It used lightning-attribute magic stones as its power source, instead of gasoline or electricity from his previous life.

The train tracks are surrounded by transparent light curtains, a means of defense against demonic attacks.

Otherwise, wouldn't trains be nothing more than walking cans of meat in the eyes of demons? They wouldn't even be able to run away!

Not long after, Ling Tianyu got into the car, closed his eyes, and began to meditate on the curse system, laying the foundation for his future intermediate breakthrough.

Bocheng is quite a distance from Shanghai, so I estimate I'll need to spend a day in Shanghai.

"A4, Dad, we're here!" A clear, melodious voice, like a silver bell, rang out in front of Ling Tianyu.

"Lingling is amazing!" a deep, resonant voice praised.

"Lingling? Is it the same name as someone else?" Upon hearing the familiar name, Ling Tianyu was startled.

Could it be such a coincidence?

After exiting his meditation, Ling Tianyu whispered to the little Qilin, "Could you conceal my mental and spatial auras?"

High-level mages are extremely sensitive to magical auras. If it really is him, his secret of being born with two magical elements will definitely not be hidden. He can only hope that the little Qilin can conceal its aura and get away with it.

A moment later, Ling Tianyu looked at the father and daughter sitting in front of him—

The man looked to be in his forties, with a robust build, broad shoulders, a dignified face, and a warm expression; he seemed like an ordinary person.

However, the bloodthirsty aura surrounding him made Ling Tianyu's expression harden, especially since he hadn't sensed any magical aura from him yet...

By focusing all his attention on the man, Ling Tianyu could barely discern some clues. He felt as if he were facing a magical abyss, whose cultivation was unfathomable, like a vast ocean!

Terrifying, powerful!

This was Ling Tianyu's only thought: he would probably be instantly killed in front of him before he could even last one round!

The girl next to him was probably still in elementary school, around ten years old, with a lovely, smooth face and big, bright eyes that seemed to hold a wealth of wisdom.

"Hmm?" The burly man in front of him paused, noticing Ling Tianyu who was silent.

"What's wrong, Dad?" Lingling followed her father's gaze and also noticed Ling Tianyu.

"He's quite handsome!" Lingling thought to herself.

"It's nothing..." The middle-aged man shook his head and looked away. He wouldn't expose other people's privacy without their permission.

Ling Tianyu was slightly surprised but didn't pay much attention. Although Lingling was an important character in the original work and was practically a female lead, Ling Tianyu didn't need to involve her at the moment.

Cold Hunter King, whose real name is Qin Zhan, is the father of Lingling and Leng Qing. He is a super-level mage and an extremely upright person. His strength is comparable to that of a great monarch. Later, while investigating the Red Demon incident, he was ambushed by Lu Kun at the behest of Yi Qiu, the progenitor of the Red Demon. He died tragically in the Demon City.

As for why he was tricked by the Red Demon, it was mentioned in the original work. There are four kings in the Dark Dimension: the Dark King, the Evil Saint King, the Shadow King, and the Underworld King. There is more than one Dark King. The power of the Underworld King is also contested among Khufu, the Ocean Queen, the Bone Queen, and the Ancient King. The Shadow King is not mentioned in the original text. He is suspected to be the mastermind behind the Assassin Hall, with powerful subordinates such as the Shadow Elder. However, in terms of strength, he is probably not comparable to the Dark King.

With the position of Evil Saint King vacant, Hong Mo Yi Qiu collected the eight souls of good and evil from the world and developed the Demon System, cultivating Mo Fan as the perfect demon fitter. Later, he transformed himself into a fragmented righteous soul to help Mo Fan seize the power of the Evil Saint King and break through the forbidden spell.

Cold Hunter King was the most suitable candidate for the True Soul that Yi Qiu found.

Ling Tianyu has neither the strength nor the courage to get involved in Leng Liewang's mess. Even if Leng Liewang escapes after being reminded by him, what can he do?

What makes the Red Devils so terrifying is their ability to manipulate people's hearts; silently, the person next to you may no longer be the same person.

Perhaps, after deviating from the main storyline, Yi Qiu might personally intervene, secretly kidnapping Ling Ling and others close to him to lure Leng Lie Wang into making a move. The consequences would be unimaginable. If this leads to even more deaths, it would be a classic case of "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead."

After all, under the planning of Red Demon Yiqiu, whose strength was close to that of an emperor, the Hunter King was nothing. As for himself, a mere mid-level mage, he was nothing but an ant in Red Demon Yiqiu's eyes, someone who could be crushed with a single step.

Lingling, whose full name is Leng Lingling, has been hunting demons with her father since childhood and possesses an intelligence beyond that of ordinary people. The original work mentions that she was rated as a Hunter Master around the age of twelve. Her knowledge is not only extensive but also comprehensive. She has a thorough understanding of the habits of demons, is quite knowledgeable about computer technology, and also has unique ingenuity in the use of magical artifacts.

In the original story, she followed Mo Fan in handling various tasks, big and small, including the Scaled Mother Demon incident, the Chongming Island adventure, breaking the Drowning Curse, and even in the later search for the Lost Totem, where she received help.

Mo Fan accepted the Red Demon's sacrifice, and beside him was not his two wives, but Lingling...

The relationship between Mo Fan and Lingling is more like that of a father and daughter than friends.

Later in the storyline, the player reaches the level of a Seven-Star Hunter Master, participates in the Hunter King selection competition, and fights against the forbidden Egyptian summoning spell that colluded with Hades...

Her experience is undoubtedly legendary. She traveled around with her father, the King of Hunters, from a young age, gaining rich experience. She resolved a task like the Drowning Curse at the age of fourteen or fifteen. While other peers were stuck in high school or college, she had already ventured into the wilderness countless times. She participated in the King of Hunters selection in her twenties, which is probably the first time in the history of the Hunter Alliance.

At this point, Cold Hunter King has not yet been killed, and Lingling is in her most innocent and carefree state.

Although she was a bit quirky, she was generally quite lively, unlike the arrogant and aloof person she would become two years later.

As soon as she sat down, Lingling started pestering Cold Hunter with questions, a stark contrast to her appearance two years later, showing how much her father's death had affected her.
