Chapter 22 The Imperial Capital Academy Suffers Another Defeat
"I'll try my best to hold off this contracted beast while you find a way to break through," Mu Nujiao said solemnly.
However, due to the limitations of the Ice Domain, even using both elemental attacks together would be difficult to stop the ferocious Shadow Wolf. But Shen Mingxiao, who had already penetrated deep into enemy territory, needed rescue.
"Vines—entwining!"
In the end, Mu Nujiao still did not choose to give up on Shen Mingxiao, and set up traps and vines in an attempt to stop him.
"Hahaha, it's just a cat-and-mouse game." Lu Zhenghe laughed out loud as he watched Shen Mingxiao flee for his life.
"Ground waves!"
The man named Xiaofeng secretly completed the spell, intending to eliminate Shen Mingxiao quickly.
"Boom!!!!!!!"
With a single slash, the Ghost-Patterned Berserker Wolf stomped a massive spiderweb-like crack in the ground.
Shen Mingxiao barely managed to block the hungry tiger pounce of the Ghost Pattern Wolf by using both of his abilities, but the powerful recoil still made his body weak and he fell to the ground unable to get up.
"Holy Shield—Protect us!"
Just as Shen Mingxiao was about to be eliminated by the Ghost Pattern Wolf, Song Xia's heroic voice rang out.
Thanks to the defense of mid-level light magic, Shen Mingxiao was finally safe, but the current situation was not good.
Because the four members of Mingzhu were too busy dealing with the War General-level Ghost Pattern Wolf, they had no time to pay attention to the star map that the people in the capital were arranging.
One is a purple star map, and the other is a cyan star map, representing the lightning and wind elements respectively!
The thunderbolt was aimed at Shen Mingxiao.
Shen Mingxiao was struck by another thunderbolt, and his whole body trembled from the shock.
Fengpan's targets were Mo Fan and Song Xia.
Song Xia gave her intermediate-level light magic to Shen Mingxiao, but she herself found herself in a predicament.
Fortunately, Mo Fan had the Ghost Wolf Beast, a beast-shaped vehicle, and the two of them managed to shake off the extremely wide-ranging tornado by riding on the Ghost Wolf Beast.
"No, this passive defense is too pathetic; we need to counterattack!"
Song Xia jumped off the back of the Ghost Wolf Beast looking disheveled, and stared at the four people from the Imperial Capital Academy who remained unmoved.
Immediately afterwards, Mo Fan directed Mu Nujiao, Shen Mingxiao, and the Youlang Beast to restrain the Youwen Violent Wolf, and asked Song Xia to protect him as he prepared to cast a spell.
But then a sudden change occurred. Countless ice chains, like flying giant pythons, bound Mo Fan into a mummy, and the power of ice surged continuously!
It was none other than Mu Ningxue from the capital who made the move!
The three teachers from Mingzhu Academy looked at each other in dismay. They hadn't expected that the aces from the capital would defeat their students so decisively!
"This ice-type female mage is terrifying." Peng Liang shrank his neck.
"Mo Fan, are you going to continue hiding, or take a gamble?" Gojo Satoru watched the fighting arena with great interest.
As the person present who knows Mo Fan's capabilities best, the current situation is simply that no one can contend with that ice mage. As long as Mo Fan wants to fight, he can turn the tide!
"Let's stop here," Teacher Qiu Yuhua reminded them. They had already secured a draw, so this match was unnecessary anyway. They shouldn't let any students get injured.
"Okay." Teacher Gu Han nodded as well.
Just as Teacher Gu Han stood up to signal to the referee that he had given up, a clear and cheerful voice rang out.
"Don't rush, the real battle has only just begun!"
The one who spoke was Gojo Satoru.
……
"Captain, the Pearl Academy team isn't very strong!" Lu Zhenghe said with a smile.
"Yes," Mingcong echoed.
"Looks like we've managed to save face," Xiaofeng said with a smile.
The three students from the Imperial Academy felt it was time to pop champagne at halftime.
However, Mu Ningxue ignored her teammates' words. She gripped all the ice locks tightly, stared at Mo Fan, and said, "Stop pretending. Show your full strength, Mo Fan!"
"camouflage??"
"Use all your strength?" Everyone was puzzled by Mu Ningxue's words.
After all, they really couldn't think of any way Mo Fan could break free from the ice lock's restraints.
However, Gojo Satoru, who knew Mo Fan's background, understood the implication: "Could Mo Fan really be having an affair with that woman?"
Those who know Mo Fan's trump card are either relatives or lovers, and Gojo Satoru has a feeling that Mu Ningxue is the latter.
"Crunch—!!"
Cracks appeared on the ice lock, which was as hard as iron. At first, the cracks were quite fine.
But as the crimson color inside intensified, the cracks became more numerous and longer!
"Boom~~!"
Suddenly, all the ice locks couldn't withstand the terrifying heat emanating from the center and shattered instantly!
"Hoo hoo~~"
Flames roared, countless tongues of fire battling against the chill that was still spreading across the ground.
Amidst the striking crimson expanse, a figure gradually emerges.
"This...this is Mo Fan??"
No one present could believe it.
"Mo Fan looks a bit like me now!" Gojo Satoru said, resting his chin on his hand.
Before Liu Yan, the mist below seemed like nothingness, and besides Mo Fan, who else possessed such a spiritual fire? There was absolutely no need for doubt.
"Three systems! Mo Fan has three systems!" someone exclaimed in surprise.
The entire competition venue erupted in uproar.
Only high-level mages can control all three types of abilities, but Mo Fan, who is clearly only mid-level, possesses all three.
Could it be that they were born with dual systems?!
Mo Fan's smile grew even more unrestrained. "I thought you would go easy on your lover, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless right away."
Mu Ningxue of the Imperial Capital Academy remained silent, seemingly acquiescing to the situation. This scene broke many people's hearts, while Wu Tiao Wu gradually conceived a short essay in his mind.
"Hey, lovers, could they have eloped?" Gojo Satoru teased.
"Class monitor, it's very impolite to spread such rumors about girls," Bai Tingting said, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Okay, I was wrong." Gojo Satoru bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
At this moment, the battle on the fighting platform reached its climax.
"Rose Flame - Fierce Fist - Earth Strike".
Terrifying flames bloomed like petals centered on Mo Fan, instantly eliminating two of the four from the capital. Lu Zhenghe narrowly escaped because he was far away, while Mu Ningxue used wind magic to float in the air and avoid the terrifying attack.
It is only polite to reciprocate, so Mu Ningxue quickly gathered wind magic energy and unleashed a mid-level spell to counterattack.
"Wind Plate - Heavenly Net!"
A blue-green aura formed a field more than twenty meters wide, enveloping Mo Fan, while the escaping hurricanes lashed him, leaving him with raw, bruised skin.
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"
Amidst the howling wind barrier, Mo Fan, with an arrogant gaze, continuously unleashed a barrage of flames from his hands!
Three consecutive fierce punches broke through the Wind-Dispelling Heavenly Net's limit of endurance!
"Two spirit seeds, it was worth coming to your Imperial Capital Academy this time." Mo Fan smiled like the blazing sun, extremely arrogant.
Below the stage, Gojo Satoru saw Mo Fan's appearance and seemed to be deep in thought. "This is how Mo Fan should be. It seems that my brilliance is too great, which has limited Mo Fan's arrogance."
Now, the final move to decide the outcome has arrived.
"Panbing-Bingsuo-Nangu".
The sound of ice spirits rang out, and Mu Ningxue was the first to complete the ice magic, with ice chains dancing wildly around her.
"Thousand-Pound Thunder-Yaksha".
Mo Fan's magic release speed was a little slower than Mu Ningxue's, but the lightning's speed was more direct and decisive than the ice lock!
The deafening lightning collided with the frigid ice, creating a massive explosion. The powerful impact swept across the entire arena, and if the teachers hadn't released timely magic to defend themselves, someone would likely have been injured.
Mo Fan was the ultimate victor!
Ice Lock is not a true defensive skill; it did not completely block Thunderbolt - Yaksha.
"We concede defeat." Seeing Mu Ningxue defeated, Lu Yiming had no choice but to admit that his team was inferior in skill, no matter how unwilling he was.
"Thank you for the favor, thank you so much." Having won the competition, Gu Han was beaming with joy, as if he had eaten honey.
The magical duel came to an end, and everyone dispersed.
Sorry, I got a little carried away while writing this chapter, so it's a bit padded. Sorry!
