Thunder roared past everyone's ears. The entire manor fell into an eerie silence at that moment, and everyone stared at Mo Fan as if struck dumb, as though they had all been hit by a Thunder Seal.
Mo Fan forcibly suppressed the killing intent in his heart. He then looked toward Mo Jiaxing, who sat in a corner, and waved at him.
Mo Jiaxing smiled ingenuously and hurriedly raised his wineglass, since a friend had come to toast him.
On the raised platform, Bocheng's important figures were all dumbfounded.
Tang Yue rose to her feet, her eyes filled with shock. Good kid, so he had been hiding this up his sleeve.
"Impossible! Could he be an Intermediate Mage?!" Mu Zhuoyun sprang from his chair and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
Likewise, Principal Zhu, Deng Kai, Yang Zuohe, and the other major figures of Bocheng stood up in shock. How could a fire-element student cast Lightning Magic?
Was it a magic tool? No. A dazzling purple glow had appeared around Mo Fan just now. That had definitely been magic he cast himself, without any outside aid.
Then he had broken through to the intermediate tier—but that was not right either. Even if he had recently reached the intermediate tier, how could he have cultivated his Thunder Seal to Level Two so quickly?
The guests were utterly shocked by Mo Fan, and the venue remained silent for a long while!
"What exactly is going on? Can anyone tell me?"
The head of Bocheng's Zhou Family stood up and swept his gaze over the important figures around him.
Only Principal Zhu's eyes gleamed with a strange light. "Mo Fan—Mo Fan has Innate Dual Elements!!"
His face was filled with excitement, so much that he needed quite a while to calm himself before he could speak.
Yes, only Innate Dual Elements could explain why Mo Fan could cast a Level Two Thunder Seal. During the awakening ceremony, Mo Fan had awakened not only the fire element, but also the lightning element.
Innate Dual Elements? My heavens, did Innate Dual Elements really exist in this world?
I don't even know what to say.
Mo Fan looked at the equally stunned Deng Kai. "President Deng, shouldn't you announce the duel's result now?"
"Oh, right, right."
Deng Kai came to his senses, glanced briefly at Yu Ang lying on the ground with his life and death unknown, then loudly announced, "The winner of the Magic Duel—is Mo Fan!"
Mo Fan was not overly excited. He merely nodded slightly to those around him.
Then he walked out of the dueling ground and headed toward the raised platform where Mu Zhuoyun and the others stood.
As Mo Fan moved, many people finally remembered that there seemed to be a wager between him and Mu Zhuoyun. The loser had to kneel and apologize to the winner.
Surely Mo Fan would not really make Mu Zhuoyun kneel and apologize to him, would he?
At the very least, that was exactly what Mu Zhuoyun thought. Watching Mo Fan draw closer, he swallowed hard. Was he really going to kneel and apologize to this little punk? How could he ever show his face in Bocheng afterward?
Mo Fan walked steadily onto the platform. He glanced at Mu Ningxue and inexplicably sneered. "Mu Zhuoyun, you should be grateful you gave birth to such a good daughter. If not for Mu Ningxue's sake, I would never let this matter end so easily!"
Mu Zhuoyun's face alternated between green and red. However, his shock was far from over.
Principal Zhu said kindly, "Mo Fan, you should be an Intermediate Mage now, right?"
What?!
Mo Fan nodded lightly. He was not surprised in the slightest.
Other than Zhan Kong, everyone else was shocked once again. They knew of only one person who had reached the intermediate tier at such an age: Mu Ningxue, who stood beside them.
Yet now, another genius stood before them in the flesh.
No, Mo Fan might be even more talented than Mu Ningxue.
After all, Mu Ningxue had awakened early and gone to the Mu Clan in the distant Imperial Capital. Only after using a great deal of resources had she reached the intermediate tier at this age.
Mo Fan, on the other hand, had undergone a standard awakening at sixteen. He had also cultivated two elements and reached the intermediate tier through his own perseverance.
Zhan Kong strode forward and grabbed Mo Fan by the arm. "Mo Fan, the Military Department wants him! Whoever dares touch him, I'll raid their home today!!"
Innate Dual Elements! Once properly nurtured, this kid would undoubtedly become a sharp blade against demons. Zhan Kong could practically see Mo Fan's future already, and there was no way he would let go.
"Heh heh."
Hearing Zhan Kong's words, Yang Zuohe merely gave a couple of disdainful laughs. "Boss Zhan Kong, while you may call the shots in many matters in Bocheng, I won't yield to you in everything. Our Magic Association will not pass up any peerless genius!"
Hearing their conversation, Mo Fan hurriedly waved his hands. "Everyone, I have no plans to join any faction for now—at least not before I graduate from a magic academy."
Mo Fan was now an Intermediate Mage. In terms of strength, he was no weaker than major figures like Yang Zuohe and Mu Zhuoyun, and was even a cut above them.
After all, Mo Fan still had a trump card up his sleeve—the Golden Radiance Solar Divine Halo!
Upon hearing that Mo Fan had no intention of joining any faction, Tang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, their Tribunal also wanted a genius with Innate Dual Elements.
Unfortunately, she still had a mission and could not reveal her identity as a Judge.
In the end, the Magic Association, Hunter's Union, and Bo City Military Department jointly sealed off the information, though only temporarily.
Just like in the first timeline, Mo Fan obtained the opportunity to use the Earth Sacred Spring. However, he knew that the Bocheng disaster would erupt within this week.
Before entering the Earth Sacred Spring, Mo Fan told his father to take his uncle, aunt, and Xin Xia to stay somewhere he had mentioned for a few days—that place was where the Safe Zone had been in the first timeline.
That way, when the Bocheng disaster erupted, the four of them would not need to worry about attacks from demons.
As for the other people of Bocheng, Mo Fan had already done all he could. He could not risk exposing himself by spreading the news far and wide.
One had to know that there were currently two super-tier powerhouses from the "Black Flood Pavilion" in Bocheng: Salan and Wu Ku. Killing the current Mo Fan would be as easy as crushing an ant for them.
Thus, only after repeatedly reminding Mo Jiaxing did Mo Fan enter the Earth Sacred Spring.
The Earth Sacred Spring was located beneath Yin Mao Building, Bocheng's landmark—on the fifteenth underground floor. Mo Fan's eyes were full of nostalgia.
A patrol squad guarded the underground hall, and its captain was also an Intermediate Mage. There were not many Intermediate Mages in Bocheng, yet one had been assigned to guard the Earth Sacred Spring, showing just how seriously they regarded it.
Mu Zhuoyun and Tang Yue had brought Mo Fan here. Before he entered the Earth Sacred Spring, Tang Yue gave Mo Fan four Star Atlas Books as usual.
Tang Yue perhaps knew that she was returning to Songcheng, so she briefly explained the gap between beginner-tier magic and Intermediate Magic before letting him enter meditation.
Mo Fan nodded solemnly. Although he was already quite familiar with magic of every tier, he did not interrupt Teacher Tang Yue.
After bidding Teacher Tang Yue farewell, Mo Fan turned and entered the Earth Sacred Spring's sealed chamber.
He knew he did not have seven days, so he had to hurry and raise his lightning element to the intermediate tier.
