Chapter 54 Discussion

After some interludes, Mu Zhuoyun took the stage to give a speech. After a series of polite remarks, the duel finally began.

Many people came not to listen to Mu Zhuoyun's clichéd words, but to find out who would ultimately win the Earthly Sacred Spring.

There are many novice mages in Bo City, but their quality varies greatly. Only intermediate mages can enjoy a respected status in Bo City.

The Earthly Holy Spring is a rare and precious material that can bring magicians infinitely close to the mid-level. In Bo City, it is considered a sacred object.

Because of Mo Fan's recklessness, his father lost his job, but at the same time, he gained the precious opportunity to cultivate in the Holy Spring that countless people longed for!

You could say that fools sometimes have good luck.

The dueling arena was oval-shaped, roughly the size of a playground. It was unclear whether Mu Zhuoyun had prepared it specifically for this duel. If so, he had truly spared no expense.

Mo Fan had already followed Mu Zhuoyun's instructions and stood on the dueling arena, but Yu Ang was nowhere to be seen.

Being left hanging by the Mu family wasn't a pleasant feeling; it was no different from being a monkey in a zoo cage, being watched by everyone. Mo Fan frowned, and shouted irritably, "Old dog Mu, where's that Yu Ang guy?"

"Arrogant brat!" Mu Zhuoyun roared, "Let Yu Ang go on stage now!"

…………

Soon, Yu Ang made a dazzling entrance from the other side of the dueling arena. His clothes, made of some kind of precious silk, shone brightly under the spotlight.

Perhaps in the eyes of many young girls, Yu Ang's handsome appearance, which has a touch of effeminacy, perfectly matches their fantasies about a prince charming.

But Ling Tianyu smelled a faint stench emanating from him, exactly the same as Bai Yang's.

Compared to Mo Fan, who was dressed in cheap clothes, Yu Ang, who looked very respectable, was like heaven and earth. If Yu Ang was a prince about to enter the palace, then Mo Fan was like a country bumpkin who had sneaked into the palace.

"This bastard is dressed up like a human being!" For some reason, Mo Fan felt an innate dislike for Yu Ang, even though they were complete strangers.

Perhaps this is the protagonist's sixth sense?

"Damn it! How are we supposed to fight like this?!" Deng Kai exclaimed angrily, turning to Principal Zhu beside him. "Can you tell how many magical artifacts Yu Ang has?"

Principal Zhu shook his head, having long since given up hope of Mo Fan winning.

What magical artifacts does Mo Fan possess? Aside from the scythe-bone shield he managed to snatch from Zhan Kong, he probably doesn't have anything else!

There was already a gap in their cultivation levels, and Mo Fan was far from being a match for them in terms of magical tools, so what was the point of fighting!

"By the way, where did Zhan Kong go? Why can't we see him?" Principal Zhu felt something was missing. In these high-level gatherings, Zhan Kong was always one of the most active members. Without him, the atmosphere undoubtedly felt a bit deserted.

As luck would have it, at that very moment, Zhan Kong arrived in a hurry with some high-ranking military officials.

"Hey, I almost missed the show!" Zhan Kong said, gesturing to Li Shi behind him.

Li Shi nodded, glanced around the viewing platform, walked up to Ling Tianyu, and said, "Tianyu, I have something to tell you!"

Ling Tianyu nodded, stood up, and followed Uncle Li to a secluded spot, speaking first, "Did you find anything?"

"Yes! Things are far more serious than we imagined! We only explored a small area of ​​the inscription zone and discovered no fewer than five underground passages, all wide enough for a Warlord-level Bone Spike Wolf to enter and exit!"

Uncle Li said with a heavy expression, he never imagined that the Black Vatican had set up such a huge trap right under their noses!

It's unimaginable that if demons were to invade Bo City through underground tunnels, not only would ordinary humans perish, but even novice mages would lose their lives!

"Next, we can only try to seal up the entire cave before the demons arrive," Uncle Li said solemnly.

"How long will it take?" Ling Tianyu asked.

"To be optimistic, it will take at least a week!" Uncle Li shook his head. Bo City was so vast that the giant-eyed rats could dig tunnels much faster than they, the mages, could fill the pits.

As for ordinary people participating, that's even more impossible. Who knows how many demons are lurking in the passage? By then, the Black Vatican might not even have made a move before they've already suffered heavy losses.

"It's not just that..." Ling Tianyu said to Uncle Li, "Our actions here can't be kept secret from the Black Vatican. They've probably already started reacting over there. Believe it or not, the moment your military personnel left, the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat will be able to dig a new tunnel."

"This..." Uncle Li hesitated, his face extremely grim. If the Black Vatican really did this, their actions would have limited effect.

"The only option now is to unite with other forces," Uncle Li said after a moment's thought.

"Yes, the operation doesn't necessarily need to be secretive, but it must be carried out quickly," Ling Tianyu reminded him.

"Hmm... I'll tell Chief Instructor Zhan Kong about my plan later, and he can make the decision." Uncle Li nodded.

Ling Tianyu returned to his seat, and Mu Ningxue asked, "What did Uncle Li say to you? You all look rather unwell."

Ye Xinxia also cast a curious glance at her.

"Let's watch the duel first, and I'll explain later," Ling Tianyu said, considering the large number of people present and the possibility of leaks.

Mu Ningxue is also a mid-level mage with considerable strength, and she played a significant role in the Bo City disaster.

In the original story, Mu Ningxue had urgent business to attend to and returned to the capital, thus missing the disaster in Bo City.

Suddenly, a gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"Mo Fan has actually mastered the third level of beginner-level magic!"

Ling Tianyu suddenly realized and looked towards the dueling arena, where he saw Mo Fan unleashing the unrestrained and arrogant level 3 fire-type [Fire Burst], stunning everyone and breaking through Yu Ang's level 3 ice vines.

However, when the scorching flames struck Yu Ang, a silver-glowing armor suddenly appeared on his body, blocking the burning effect of the flames.

"This is the [Ice Silkworm Armor], are you kidding me!" Principal Zhu, with his extensive knowledge, immediately recognized the magical armor on Yu Ang's body.

"What's the point of fighting?! This kind of armor is specifically designed to counter fire magic!"

Mo Fan looked indignant and furious. "They can't beat me in magic, so they're resorting to magical tools?"

Alright, since Mu the old dog says that magical artifacts are also part of strength, then my innate dual-elemental strength is also part of strength!

I refuse to believe that this tortoise shell can withstand the domineering penetrating power of lightning!

"Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!"

A wild and intense bolt of lightning shot out from the center of Mo Fan's large palm. As the magic incantation was unleashed, it pounced like an arrow towards the fully armed Yu Ang!

"Thunder, thunder, thunder... Lightning element!"

The thought flashed through everyone's minds, leaving them deeply shaken.

Mo Fan possesses fire elemental power, so why can he display such terrifying lightning elemental power?

Is Mo Fan a mid-level mage?

This speculation was quickly rejected by everyone present.

Mo Fan clearly only possesses the aura of a beginner mage!

Since he's not a beginner mage, then... there's only one possibility: innate talent!

Mo Fan was born with dual elemental powers! And they were the most domineering lightning and fire elements!

"My God! Mo Fan is not only born with dual elemental abilities, but his cultivation level is also at the third stage of the initial level!"

Surprise, horror, disbelief...

The overwhelming power of lightning was too much for the Ice Silk Armor to withstand. Yu Ang was knocked to the ground by the lightning, his handsome face now looking disheveled.

The outcome is decided!
