Humans were a very strange species.
Mo Fan had contributed greatly towards purging the sea monsters in the Huangpu River. Some of his juniors even combined the recordings into a clip and posted it on the Internet to showcase Mo Fan’s outstanding feats.
He had massacred the sea monsters with overwhelming strength. He had even fainted after his energy was depleted.
But in the end, the people were more concerned about Ding Yumian becoming Mo Fan’s mistress.
An anonymous guy claimed he knew a lot of insider news. He even put down a list of women who had ties with Mo Fan, and uploaded their photos too.
“Holy, every woman is a different style, but they are all natural beauties! Normally, a man would struggle to make a choice between them, but our demon king Mo Fan is no ordinary man. He chose to have them all. It’s the difference between ordinary people like us and a god like him!”
“It sounds like the editor is very familiar with the demon king. He or she even has pictures of the demon king in other countries. Mo Fan has over half a dozen mistresses. It happens to be the same as the number of his Elements. Does it mean he always finds a new woman every time he Awakens a new Element? That means he has to become a Forbidden Mage to have another breakthrough! Keep it up!”
“God Mo, you are the role model of all men!”
The anonymous man put Mo Fan in an even worse spot after Lu Qingyao’s comment, listing out seven women in total.
Mo Fan’s head was spinning. Shouldn’t people worry about the serious matters at hand? Why were they focusing on his personal life instead?
Most importantly, it was just some ambiguous rumors. It was not like every woman he worked with was his concubine!
Besides, which asshole exactly was the anonymous guy? How did he have photos of him at the Alps Institute?
“F**k, it must be Zhao Manyan, that son of a b**ch!”
Zhao Manyan was a playboy, but he was defaming Mo Fan so people would think Mo Fan was a playboy, too! How wicked!

It took a long time for someone’s magic to fully recover. After the new recording devices had been invented, Mo Fan was able to learn the latest information while he stayed at home.
Most of the sea monsters were considered new species, as humans had rarely come across them. They needed a lot of information to understand the sea monsters’ traits, levels, attacks, and fighting styles.
Mo Fan felt like the world was a lot quieter after filtering out the rumors about him.
A piercing screech came from the recording Mo Fan was watching.
Even though Mo Fan’s phone’s screen was very tiny, he could still see the terrifying waves reaching above the clouds.
A skeleton king made of water stood amid the waves. Only half of its body was showing in the recording.
The person recording the clip had stayed a great distance away, So it was difficult to see the Sea Skeleton King’s face clearly.
“That thing must be at least at the same level as the Black Totem Snake and Baxia. The alliance of Super Mages of the Magic City has failed with multiple attempts to kill it,” Mo Fan murmured to himself.
The Sea Skeleton King suddenly threw a punch in the recorder’s direction. A giant fist of water flew at the screen.
Its outstanding speed and power made it feel like the fist was coming out of the screen. Mo Fan almost dropped his phone in shock. “He’s broadcasting with his life!” Mo Fan exclaimed.
Chief Hua Zhanhong had asked him to find clues of the next Totem Beast through the Sea Skeleton King, but Mo Fan had only learned about how formidable the creature was after watching many clips of the Sea Skeleton King. He did not notice anything related to the Totem Beasts.
“Perhaps I should ask Lingling and Jiang Shaoxu for help, since they are the professionals,” Mo Fan muttered.
Mo Fan picked up his phone and went to the balcony.
Mo Fan could see the dark sky to the southeast from his balcony. The horizon was dyed with a special red mist.
The clouds were moving strangely. He wondered which sea monster was responsible for it this time.
He could hear loud winds howling occasionally, blowing at the tall buildings in the city that were shrouded by the mist. It felt like everyone’s heart was covered by a gloomy fog.
On one side was the developed city, and on the other was the cold sea, crawling with sea monsters like it was the Apocalypse.
The calm and peaceful era had ended. Humans were enduring a difficult time. It was cold and dark, but they had no choice but to coexist with it.
Everyone was granted a heart to change the world when they were young, but the world would never change because of anyone. It would continue to advance in broken pieces and be healed. No living creature could truly make a difference.
Living things could only adapt to the environment. When the world was peaceful, humans’ quality of life improved. When it fell into ruins, they could only try their best to survive.
The world had started breaking into pieces.
It was like a trial. Those who failed were disqualified forever!
On one side, the world was collapsing. On the other side was a modern city. Even though the city might fall into a deep abyss at any second, the people still continued on with their lives.
The crayfish shops were still open, and so were the nightclubs. The price of real estate continued to rise. The approaching crisis did not stop the couples who could not afford to get a room to enjoy themselves out in the woods.
People had their unique ways of handling crises.
His phone call was not picked up for some time. Mo Fan’s thoughts were drifting away.
“Assh***, you finally remembered to call me!” an alluring voice suddenly shouted from the other side.
Someone had finally picked up the call, but Jiang Shaoxu’s words immediately made Mo Fan’s heart race.
Why did it sound like he finally had time to do something naughty with his concubine?
“We have a new mission, but the target is a little challenging,” Mo Fan coughed awkwardly.
“We have some new discoveries too, but I think it’s not the same as yours. That’s great, we have discovered clues about two new Totem Beasts. Let’s see which one we should pursue first. By the way, what’s our target?” Jiang Shaoxu asked.
“The Sea Skeleton King that is stirring up troubles in Pudong,” Mo Fan told her.
“That exciting?” Jiang Shaoxu’s tone changed.
“Mm, I’m still estimating its strength, but Hangzhou isn’t safe, either. Otherwise, I could have asked the Black Totem Snake for some help,” Mo Fan admitted.
“Don’t even think about it. He’s very busy right now. Apparently, a new poisonous species has shown up that is not afraid of the Black Totem Snake’s Poison Mist Domain. The sea monsters are trying to take over West Lake and turn it into an outpost,” Jiang Shaoxu informed him.
“Fine, you and Lingling should look into which Totem Beast the Sea Skeleton King is related to so we can come up with a plan,” Mo Fan said..
