A Touch of Modernization

"Gonzales..." Lu Fei frowned thoughtfully. He had also gone to the Holy Capital as an alternate member and met this Professor Gonzales. "He belongs to the Elemental School, and he has mastered multiple elements. As far as I know, he uses both earth and fire."

Chen Ran, standing nearby, became interested upon hearing Lu Fei's introduction. "He can use Fire Ability too? Is he strong?"

"I've never seen him make a move." Lu Fei shook his head. "But I heard from the teachers that he's very powerful."

"I have seen him..." The teacher on duty joined in. "Back when the Holy See's Central Academy came to Zhendan for an exchange, he fought Su Linna from Puhua Mountain. It was truly a clash of ice and fire..."

"I know Teacher Su Linna." Chen Ran said in surprise. "Her Ice Element techniques are extraordinary. Even my Old Man praised her. He also said that fire is actually at a slight disadvantage against ice, and told us to be careful whenever we encountered Ice Element experts."

"In elemental theory, fire is indeed at a slight disadvantage against ice..." the teacher on duty said. "But Gonzales uses his Fire Elemental together with Earth Elemental. More precisely, he specializes in Lava Spell. Compared to ordinary Fire Elemental, lava retains heat better and suppresses ice attributes more effectively. Even if it cools and solidifies, he can still control it to attack with Earth Elemental spells. So throughout that duel, Su Linna was pressed by him." "I see, lava..." After hearing the teacher's explanation, Chen Ran seemed deep in thought.
