Mo Fan's Dual Element Talent Exposed

"Lightning Element!!"

Xue Musheng was ecstatic. Though this purple glow was not as impressive as the one from the neighboring class, it was still a genuine Lightning Element!

One Summoning Element and one Lightning Element—his time to rise had finally come!!

Besides Xue Musheng, Li Xingze and Mu Bai also saw that flash of purple light.

"Forget that Summoning Element. Why does that backdoor brat get to awaken the Lightning Element!" Mu Bai gritted his teeth.

The previous Summoning Element had already made him unhappy, and now his sworn enemy, Mo Fan, had actually awakened the Lightning Element.

But it was not over yet. What happened next made him question his entire life.

A burst of firelight squeezed out the purple glow. Gradually, only a small flame remained atop the Awakening Stone.

"..."

Silence!

Xue Musheng lost the ability to speak for a moment. Awakening one Lightning Element was already incredible, yet Mo Fan had awakened the Fire Element as well.

This was Dual Element Talent!

Mu Bai was so jealous he practically cracked apart. Dual Element Talent—why did such supreme talent have to fall upon a backdoor brat like Mo Fan?

As for Xue Musheng, he had simply been so shocked by the sight that his brain had shut down.

Dual Element Talent—this was an Innate Talent, something even more incredible than the Summoning Element!

Bo City's favored daughter, Mu Ningxue, had been admitted to Imperial Capital Academy early precisely because she possessed the Innate Talent of an Innate Spiritual Seed.

And now, Mo Fan had also awakened an Innate Talent. Tianlan High School was going to prosper!

"Damn it, that backdoor brat actually awakened the Fire Element too. What an unfair world. Who knows what kind of dog-shit luck he stepped in."

When Zhao Kunshan returned to the classroom and saw the little flame on the Awakening Stone, he immediately felt upset.

It was one thing for the neighboring class to awaken a Lightning Element, but why did Mo Fan, the driver's son, get to awaken the Fire Element!

"It really is the Fire Element. Didn't you guys say this guy would fail to awaken? The Fire Element is way stronger than my Water Element."

"Who knows? But Mo Fan really did get in through the backdoor..."

"I'm so jealous. He spent three years messing around and still awakened the Fire Element, while I studied my ass off for three years and only awakened the trashiest Light Element."

"Teacher Xue, what's wrong?" Seeing Xue Musheng staring blankly, Zhou Min's little face showed a puzzled expression.

Had a Fire Element scared the homeroom teacher silly?

She was Fire Element too. Why had she never seen the homeroom teacher make that expression when she awakened?

"No... I'm fine."

Only after hearing her voice did Xue Musheng slowly come back to his senses.

This was Dual Element Talent. To be precise, it was even more extraordinary than Li Xingze's Summoning Element—

"Mo Fan, right? You and Li Xingze, come with me to see the principal."

Xue Musheng adjusted his glasses. He had looked into Mo Fan's situation before and had assumed the boy would be trouble.

Who would have thought that he would turn out to be an even bigger surprise than Li Xingze!

"Oh, okay~"

Mo Fan was still immersed in the joy of awakening Dual Element Talent and merely answered mechanically.

"As expected." Li Xingze was not surprised.

After all, the Summoning Element was far rarer than the Lightning Element. It would have been stranger if the homeroom teacher had gone running to the neighboring class instead.

After all the students had finished awakening, Xue Musheng explained how to meditate before hurriedly taking Li Xingze and Mo Fan to the principal's office.

"What the hell? Why would awakening the Fire Element mean you need to see the principal?"

Zhao Kunshan watched the three of them leave, baffled. Then he saw the expression of "envy, jealousy, and hatred" on Mu Bai's face and immediately had a terrible feeling.

"Mu Bai, Mo Fan..."

"Who knows what kind of dog-shit luck that bastard stepped in. He actually has Dual Element Talent—Lightning Element and Fire Element!"

As Mo Fan's sworn enemy, Mu Bai naturally had no intention of helping him keep it secret.

As he said this, Mu Bai clenched his fists through gritted teeth, wearing an expression of hatred at Heaven's unfairness.

"What!"

Zhao Kunshan's pupils shook. Dual Element Talent...

An unparalleled genius had appeared right beside him—and it was his enemy.

He had mocked Li Xingze and Mo Fan plenty of times before. Now Mo Fan had awakened Dual Element Talent, while Li Xingze had awakened the extremely rare Summoning Element.

At that thought, all the fat on Zhao Kunshan's body began to tremble.

It was over. Completely over!!

"Hmph, so what if he has Dual Element Talent? If he doesn't know how to cultivate, that talent will only become a burden. If he's smart, he'll obediently focus on one element first. Otherwise, he can wait to be trampled beneath my feet."

After the surprise and jealousy faded, Mu Bai's face darkened with disdain.

"Right. Mo Fan is just a driver's son. Even one element would be enough to give him a headache. Even if he has two elements, they're nothing more than a treasure trove he can't excavate."

Zhao Kunshan had at least gone through the high school magic entrance exams, so he was quite clear on certain common understandings of magic.

Without the aid of external items, a mage could only meditate for five hours.

If Mo Fan split those five hours evenly between two elements, each element would only get two and a half hours. He would definitely be left far behind by them.

Unfortunately, that rule did not apply to Mo Fan. He had twice the cultivation time.

"A Summoning Element, and a Dual Element Talent."

"Teacher Xue, did you come here just to amuse me?"

Principal Zhu looked at the teacher and two students before him, his expression somewhat unpleasant.

Based on Tianlan High School's past records, producing even one Lightning Element student would be considered good. Yet this time, there was a Summoning Element and someone with a Dual Element Talent.

And they had appeared in the same class. How was that possible?!

"Principal, do you think I would specifically come to your office just to joke with you?" Xue Musheng asked in return, full of confidence now.

Principal Zhu lightly tapped his fingers against the desk. Now that Xue Musheng put it that way, it really did not seem like his usual style.

A Summoning Element and a Dual Element Talent, really?

Principal Zhu sized up Li Xingze and Mo Fan before finally fixing his gaze on Mo Fan. "I have heard a little about the Dual Element Talent. Unlike other talents, it cannot directly increase your strength. If used well, it can become a powerful weapon in your hands. But if used poorly, it will instead drag you down."

A Dual Element Talent meant that Mo Fan needed to cultivate two elements. If he did not manage his cultivation time properly, he might even fall behind students with only one element.

In Principal Zhu's eyes, a Dual Element Talent merely meant having one more element than other mages at the beginner level. While it did offer some advantages, those advantages would not be especially great.

Mo Fan had considered this issue as well. "I've decided to cultivate the Lightning Element first."

Principal Zhu smiled approvingly. He had been worried that Mo Fan would fail to distinguish priorities and end up being dragged down by his Dual Element Talent.

He then turned to Li Xingze. "Li Xingze, the Dimensional Element is harder to cultivate than the other elements. However, I don't have any spare Stardust Magic Artifacts here. I only have a Control Magic Tool I used before. You can discuss with Mo Fan how to divide up the time using it."

Li Xingze immediately thanked him. Normally, a newly awakened mage only had one hour of control time per week. One Control Magic Tool was more than enough for him and Mo Fan to use in turns.

With Mo Fan's doubled cultivation time, plus the Control Magic Tool, he would probably be able to complete his spell casting in less than five months.

But with a Forbidden Curse magic in hand, Li Xingze had no interest in competing with Mo Fan over momentary gains.

With a cheat ability, was he afraid he would not be able to obtain resources?

With resources in hand, was he afraid his cultivation speed would be slow?
