Crushing Victory!!

"Good. Since things have settled down, I'll grab something to eat if there's nothing else." Mo Fan said.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave yet!"

Zhan Kong grabbed Mo Fan by the shoulder. "I have a small favor I'd like to ask of you."

"What is it? Go ahead."

"Keep an eye on Yu Ang during your duel with him."

"Mm, got it."

Mo Fan naturally understood that Zhan Kong had begun to suspect Yu Ang of being with the "Black Flood Pavilion," but he had realized it a little too late. In a few days, the Bo City Blood Calamity would erupt!!

And even catching Yu Ang would be useless, because Yu Ang was one of the lowest-ranking Grey-robed Cultists.

He had already given Teacher Tang Yue and the Chief Instructor plenty of hints. As for whether they could understand them, that depended on whether they could figure them out themselves.

After agreeing, Mo Fan walked away, having spotted several smiling middle-aged men and women heading toward Zhan Kong.

Before long, Bocheng's important figures had all arrived. Principal Zhu, Deng Kai, and Yang Zuohe had all been greeted by Mu Zhuoyun and that little dog Yu Ang.

After eating and drinking his fill, Mo Fan went to find his brothers. Monkey was not yet a general, and Mu Bai had not yet entered the Dark Dimension!

"Hey, Monkey, why are you so dark now?"

Mo Fan looked at Zhang Xiaohou, who resembled a little mud monkey, and spoke with disdain.

Zhang Xiaohou was baffled. "Brother Fan, haven't I always looked like this?"

Then Mo Fan saw He Yu and Xu Zhaoting as well. Great, he was seeing his living friends again. This time, he would make sure they lived until the very end!

"By the way, where's Mu Bai?" Mo Fan asked.

"He's half the host today, so he's probably entertaining the other guests," Zhou Min said.

"Oh, right, Brother Fan. I saw Uncle Mo here too. It must have been Mu He's doing!" Zhang Xiaohou said.

"I know."

Mo Fan plopped down in his seat. Thinking back, his first-life self would have felt somewhat nervous, but now, he did not even regard Yu Ang as a worthy opponent.

Forget Golden Flame and Innate Dual Elements—just his battle experience from his previous life would be enough for him to toy Yu Ang to death!

Once all the guests had arrived, Mu Zhuoyun raised a toast and began speaking. It was all empty pleasantries, and Mo Fan had heard enough of it in his first life.

After Mu Zhuoyun finished exchanging courtesies, Mo Fan stood up, because it was nearly time for the Magic Duel.

The Magic Duel would determine who received the Earth Sacred Spring, making it the matter Bocheng's important figures cared about most.

Next, the Magic Duel began.

Mo Fan casually flipped a coin in his hand as he strolled toward the dueling grounds. He knew Mu Zhuoyun had prepared a grand entrance for Yu Ang.

As the surrounding crowd sized Mo Fan up, they also discussed Yu Ang, who had yet to appear. They had heard that Yu Ang was exceptionally vicious even when sparring with his own brothers and sisters!

"Place your bets, place your bets! I'm betting that kid Mo Fan gets one-shotted!"

"No way, right? Mo Fan is still the top student of Tianlan Magic High School."

"I don't care. I'm betting on Yu Ang."

As everyone talked, Yu Ang finally appeared. He wore expensive custom-made clothes from the Mu Family, along with several special accessories.

Yu Ang looked somewhat like a viscount from Western nobility, but Mo Fan was not nearly as shabby as he seemed. The Golden Radiance Solar Divine Halo could temper the body as well. The Golden Divine Flame had burned away many impurities within him, leaving his skin much fairer.

Meanwhile, waves of startled cries rose from the platform where the important figures sat. They were all shocked by how much Mu Zhuoyun had invested. Who could tell how many magic tools and magic artifacts Yu Ang had on him?

A family from a third-rate little city could equip someone with so many magic artifacts and magic tools. Just how extravagant would the lineups of young members from magical families in major cities be?

Mo Fan did not know about the others, but he knew Old Zhao all too well. The magic tools in Old Zhao's hands seemed endless.

As the referee for the Magic Duel, Deng Kai stood between the two.

Mu Zhuoyun was already prepared to enjoy the show. In his view, after preparing so many magic tools and artifacts for Yu Ang, this would be nothing more than a game of cat and mouse.

"Alright, shake hands. You can begin once I give the command," Deng Kai said.

Mo Fan walked over with a disgusted expression. Shaking hands with someone from the "Black Flood Pavilion" was truly bad luck. If not for avoiding alerting the enemy, he would have wanted to kill him right then and there!

A trace of frost condensed in Yu Ang's palm.

Mo Fan reacted even faster. Fire-elemental energy instantly poured into his arm. No flames were visible, yet rolling heat could be felt. From that alone, Mo Fan's control over magic completely outclassed Yu Ang's.

"You really are a little mongrel who understands nothing. But that's fine. I'll freeze the water in your brain into ice chips and make you wake up properly!" Yu Ang said with a cold laugh.

"I'm really curious. Don't you have a father of your own? Otherwise, why do you love calling other people Dad so much? How about you call me Dad too?"

A "kind" smile hung on Mo Fan's face, but his words nearly made Yu Ang lose control on the spot.

Returning to their respective positions, Yu Ang's chest rose and fell visibly. His gaze was like that of a crazed beast as he glared viciously at Mo Fan.

"The duel begins."

The instant it began, Yu Ang immediately started connecting his stars. He had originally wanted to be more elegant, but Mo Fan's words had enraged him.

He was highly proficient at controlling his stars and could cast a spell in under five seconds.

Yet before he could finish connecting them, a crimson flame rushed before him. Yu Ang was startled and immediately canceled his nearly completed spell, rolling aside to dodge the Fire Seed!!

"What an insanely fast casting speed!!"

"Is he really just a student?"

Everyone was shocked by Mo Fan's casting speed. Many Old Mages silently marveled that Mo Fan cast magic even faster than they did.

Yu Ang raised his head in shock, his pupils filled with disbelief!

Why was his casting speed so fast?

Mo Fan's face was filled with a smile of absolute confidence. Simply standing there exerted enormous psychological pressure on Yu Ang.

Mo Fan smiled and waved a hand. "As long as you start connecting a spell, mine will always be one step faster. Do you believe that?"

Yu Ang said nothing, his face dark and cold, but his movements showed that he did not believe it!

That was fine. Mo Fan would make him believe.

Yu Ang rolled away, trying to use the chance to connect his spell!

Fire Seed: Scorching

In the blink of an eye, a Fire Seed struck Yu Ang with perfect accuracy. Fortunately, Yu Ang activated his Ice Dust Shield at the critical moment.

Though he was not injured, his spell connection was interrupted!

Seeing this, all the guests let out sighs. Although Mo Fan's combat awareness utterly crushed Yu Ang's, Yu Ang had far too many magic tools. Just draining Mo Fan's magical energy would be enough to wear him to death!

Earth Wave: Teleport!!

Yu Ang suddenly activated his Magic Footwear, and his body abruptly shifted four or five meters sideways.

Hmph, hmph, you didn't expect me to have displacement magic too, did you? As long as I can cast Level Three Ice Vine, let's see how you can still be one step faster than me!!

Yu Ang sneered to himself and raised his head toward Mo Fan, only to see a massive, blazing fireball rushing straight at him.
