Versatile Mage

“Mo Fan, watch out, the Death Saber Mummy is pretty strong!” Mu Nujiao specifically reminded Mo Fan, as she was afraid that he would be tripped up here.

Mo Fan glanced at Mu Nujiao with a smile, seeing she was concerned about his safety, and said, “This guy isn’t strong enough for me to treat him seriously.”

The Death Saber Mummy was incredibly heavy. It was extremely slow at moving around, but every step it took would shake the stage.

“Humph, you will soon regret it!” said Sayed with a hollow laugh.

The Death Saber Mummy raised its giant, black saber. One could see the black, deathly aura circling its tip. Somehow, the air nearby felt incredibly dull.

The saber was unstoppable. When the enormous Death Saber Mummy raised its weapon over its head, Mo Fan could sense its power locking onto him. The saber was pointing at him no matter which direction he moved in.

With a heavy roar, the Death Saber Mummy slashed its weapon forward powerfully. The air on the stage immediately split into two as a black shockwave sprang forward in Mo Fan’s direction.

Mo Fan sank into the ground. His shadow split into two and went in opposite directions.

To Mo Fan’s surprise, the shockwave was able to split into two and chase after both his shadows. Mo Fan was forced to flee further away with Fleeing Shadow!

The shockwave was still chasing after Mo Fan. After realizing that he was in a bad spot, Mo Fan’s eyes flickered as he immediately used his will to form a wall, stopping the shockwave from advancing further.

The black shockwave finally came to a stop. The attack gave Mo Fan a better understanding of the Death Saber Mummy. Judging from its attack, the creature was indeed a lot stronger than many Warrior-level creatures!

“Sky-Flame Funeral!” Mo Fan did not go easy on it. He immediately summoned several fiery clouds.

The fiery cloud rose into the air above the stage. Fireballs started pouring down rapidly.

In order to fully utilize the Sky-Flame Funeral’s potential, Mo Fan gathered the fiery clouds right above the Death Saber Mummy. Every fireball that smashed into the Death Saber Mummy would explode into strong flames, engulfing the undead creature.

As near on a thousand fireballs landed on the Death Saber Mummy, they swiftly turned the undead into a burning pyre.

The Death Saber Mummy was as tough as a tank when facing Intermediate Spells, but the blazing flames of the Advanced Sky-Flame Funeral were nothing that Basic or Intermediate Spells could compare to. The Death Saber Mummy was extremely slow, and had no chance of escaping the flames!

“Ad…Advanced Magician?” Sayed was stunned.

-Are you serious? Isn’t he just a defender at the Training Hall? Why would there be an Advanced Magician here? It-It looked like he reached the Advanced Level quite some time ago, judging from his channeling speed!-

Everyone fell silent when they saw the flames of the Sky-Flame Funeral surging fiercely.

The face of Dongfang Lie, who was talking down to Mo Fan just a moment ago, was twitching. Mo Fan, whose strength was comparable to his in the past, was already an Advanced Magician. He was able to cast the Advanced Fire Spell so adeptly, too!

The flames grew into a huge pyre, upon which the Death Saber Mummy’s funeral was being held. Sayed realized the situation did not look good and immediately withdrew the Death Saber Mummy into his Undead Space.

Flames were rather effective against undead. There was a chance that his Death Saber Mummy would die to the flames!

“Damn it, attack him!” Sayed would not admit his defeat so easily. He furiously commanded the Iron Mummy to attack Mo Fan.

The Iron Mummy shook off the Swift Star Wolf and leaped into the air, throwing its heavy fists at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan looked at the Iron Mummy without trying to dodge its attack. A silver glow flickered in his eyes as he locked his will onto the Iron Mummy and uttered coldly, “Piss off!”

The powerful will turned into a strong force ramming into the Iron Zombie while it was still in the air. The creature was knocked flying.

The crowd yelled out in surprise when they saw the Iron Mummy tumble to the ground. “Space Element, he’s a Space Magician!” Bai Dongwei was stunned by Mo Fan’s performance.

The Iron Mummy stood no chance against Mo Fan’s Space Element. It was thrown into the distance by Mo Fan’s Illusionary Claw once again.

Sayed was hoping that the Iron Mummy could earn him some respect, yet the Iron Mummy was being played around with like a puppet…

“Don’t you be so full of yourself!” Sayed was infuriated. He quickly chanted the curse of the Undead Element, in order to summon more undead.

His Death Saber Mummy was still resting in the Undead Space. If he could drag the fight until the flames on it were extinguished, he would be able to Summon the creature again.

“I don’t want to waste too much time on a piece of trash like you. Time’s up for you and your useless zombies,” Mo Fan shoved his hand out, unleashing a space ripple from his palm.

The space ripple rapidly surged forward, knocking the Gray-Cloth Iron Mummy and Sayed off the stage.

Sayed landed outside the boundary, his face filled with disbelief!

Did he just lose to a defender in a one-on-one duel, just like that?

Mo Fan turned to Bai Dongwei with a relaxed smile. “Instructor Bai, hurry up and announce the result!”

Not just Bai Dongwei, the other ten defenders were dumbfounded, too! Did this man seriously defeat the representative of the Egyptian team, Sayed, who was like a Boss-level enemy to them not long ago, just like that?

Was this the true strength of the man said to possess Double Innate Elements?

Since everyone here was a student, they were aware of the rankings being spread around between the curious students. The demon king of the Pearl Institute was one of the hot topics too, as the rankings mentioned his incredible innate talent, Double Innate Elements!

Many people immediately came to a realization when they heard Mo Fan’s name. However, they never thought he was this strong. Didn’t Mu Ningxue take quite some time just to defeat Sayed?

“Mo…Mo Fan is the winner!’ Bai Dongwei no longer cared if Mo Fan was not following his rules. He announced the result in joy and astonishment.

“Awesome!”

“There are mountains beyond mountains and heavens beyond heavens, indeed! This Mo Fan is even stronger than Mu Ningxue. Was someone like him really disqualified from the national team?”

“He’s so handsome!” murmured Yue Tangxin.

Sayed, the public enemy, was crushed just like that. The defenders felt extremely pleasant when they saw the humiliated look on his face!

Coming to our country acting so smug and proud, yet didn’t he still suffer a humiliating defeat when he stumbled into an expert like Mo Fan?!

“Can your team send someone stronger? If this guy is already one of the strongest on your team, I should advise you not to take part in the finals in Venice. Just go back to your desert and spend another ten or twenty years practicing before coming out here and embarrassing yourself!” Mo Fan totally showed the Egyptian team no mercy with his mouth.

A little Egypt still dared to act so smugly in his territory!? Except for the captain on the national team, Ai Jiangtu, he could easily take on any of the others on the national team. How could he possibly lose against these Egyptians?

“Sayed is only below average on our team. Winning against him isn’t something to be proud of. I will surely teach you a lesson!” retorted the bucktoothed Shreev, stepping forward.

Shreev and Sayed did not get along well. He was the happiest when seeing Sayed embarrassing himself. Besides, he could totally use the chance to display his strength and show Sayed his place!

That being said, his main goal was to take care of the defender on the Chinese team. Apart from his Advanced Fire Element and Space Element, there was nothing to be scared of.

Shreev stepped forward and slowly went onto the stage.

Mo Fan looked at the dark-skinned foreigner with ugly teeth and an even uglier face impatiently.

“Call that proud woman with an afro up here instead, I have no interest in a little shrimp like you,” said Mo Fan, pointing at Meos.

“Humph, she’s our vice-captain. A mere defender like you isn’t worthy to fight her! Have a taste of my curses first!” said Shreev.

The power of the Curse Element was somewhat similar to the Psychic Element, as it was focused on the target’s spirit and soul.

Shreev cast the Mist of Fear on Mo Fan, intending to disrupt his channeling of the Star Patterns.

The Mist of Fear was able to increase the fear in one’s heart. If the caster had a strong cultivation, he could even use the Mist of Fear to create nightmarish illusions, and the target would suffer a mental breakdown.

As soon as the Mist of Fear appeared, Mo Fan could hear a voice repeating in his ears…

He had heard the voice at the ranches before. It was a woman talking at a slow pace.

“I’m going to pay you back for all the troubles you’ve caused. You better live longer, or else I can only get the people close to you to pay in your place!”

It was Salan’s warning!

It was obvious that the Mist of Fear of the Curse Element was able to dig out the deepest fear in Mo Fan’s heart. If the spell was cast on someone with a weaker mind, it would be in the form of some event that the target had gone through before.

Mo Fan clearly knew that it was just a mere illusion.

The reason why the voice had appeared was that Salan was indeed the scariest person Mo Fan had met in his life. Both the calamity of Bo City and the calamity of Ancient Capital had shown our minuscule and weak humans were before her long blood-red robe. Everyone was so filled with despair that they could not even see the slightest glimpse of light. Every life was so insignificant, be it the Magicians, or the ordinary people…

Mo Fan’s eyes shook. Shreev thought his Curse Element was working. He started laying down a trap of the Curse Element. Once the Sinister Spider Trap successfully entrapped its target, even an Advanced Magician had no chance of winning the duel.

However, was Mo Fan really lost in his fear?

What he felt toward Salan was not fear, but rage!

A person like her who treated human lives like mere chaff should be sent to the eighteenth floor of Hell!

Not only was Mo Fan not lost in fear, he was completely infuriated! His cold eyes were staring at Shreev, who was feeling proud of himself.

“Do you seriously think your petty Curse Element can entrap me?” Mo Fan’s eyes were full of disdain.

He was now an Advanced Magician with two Advanced Elements. His spiritual force was twice that of an ordinary Advanced Magician. Meanwhile, Shreev was most likely an Advanced Curse Magician. If he could adeptly cast the Advanced Curse Spell, Demon Torture, like Ai Jiangtu could, Mo Fan might find himself in a pinch. However, he was too naive if he thought the Mist of Fear and Sinister Spider Trap were enough to handle Mo Fan!

“Off you go!” Mo Fan’s eyes were cold. The strong, silver force rammed into Shreev like a ferocious beast.

Shreev was taken by surprise. He summoned his Shield Equipment in a panic.

He did not want to be defeated so easily. As a Curse Magician, it was a must to possess defensive equipment, too!

His Magic Shield managed to stop Mo Fan’s Space Element, yet he seemed to have forgotten that Mo Fan still had a Summoned Beast on the stage.

The Swift Star Wolf had waited a long time for this. As Shreev’s attention was focused on Mo Fan, he suddenly sprang forward with outstanding speed and bit Shreev on his shoulder.

Shreev reacted fairly quickly. He summoned his Armor Equipment and used the Curse Element trap, the Sinister Spider Trap, on the Swift Star Wolf.

The Swift Star Wolf was incredibly agile. He dodged the red silks nimbly and blew a strong gust of wind at Shreev.

The attack was ineffective against Shreev under the protection of his magic armor. He walked out from the flying dust and was about to cast a spell from his other Element when he saw a pair of sharp silver eyes staring at him!

It was like he could read the words PISS OFF in the flames coming from those eyes.

Shreev tried to cast his spell in a panic, but six Giant Shadow Spikes flew at him from different directions, each penetrating his magic armor and nailing his joints.

The dark force entered his body and sealed off his bones, muscles, veins, and spiritual force.

Shreev was stunned. He did not even have time to react when he saw a huge, burning fist closing up to his face…

Shreev was set on fire as he was knocked flying, drawing a spectacular arc through the air. The bright trail of fire left in the Training Hall was rather stunning.

He slammed heavily into the ground outside the stage. The effects of the Giant Shadow Spikes had disappeared, but the flames continued to burn on him. Shreev had suffered a great concussion and cried out in pain.

Mo Fan had obviously overdone it this time. Shreev had broken bones, and his skin was severely burned…

Who asked this idiot to cast the Mist of Fear on him? Mo Fan was having trouble going easy on him!

“Err… why do I feel like the Egyptian team… is very weak?” asked someone among the defenders.

“It’s not like the Egyptian team is weak, but this Mo Fan is simply too strong!”

“The Curse Element wasn’t effective at all against Mo Fan, which simply means his cultivation is a lot stronger than that ugly dude! The Curse Element is basically useless against those with a higher cultivation, unless they are able to lay the traps down beforehand!”

“He has already defeated two representatives of the Egyptian team. Mo Fan is unstoppable! I never knew he was this strong!”

The defenders were talking among themselves. Everyone had clearly seen the fights, and Mo Fan had delivered utter defeats unto both Shreev and Shreev!

The Egyptian team felt incredibly embarrassed after their members lost to a mere defender. After all, their team was made up of the strongest students from Egypt!
