Thunder Method

"Old Chen, you're awesome."

Lu Hongsheng was the first to rush to Chen Mobai's side, grabbing the latter's waist and trying to lift him up, but the latter didn't budge. Lu Hongsheng wasn't embarrassed at all, and naturally put his hand on Chen Mobai's shoulder, jumping and celebrating with the students of Fifth High School.

"Congratulations."

In comparison, the girls were much more reserved. Cao Yaling expressed her congratulations in a very subtle way; Mo Simin, the class monitor, was a little excited and her pretty face turned red; but Shi Jingjing was pale and her eyes were lifeless.

Chen Mobai could tell at a glance that she must have bet on him to lose this round, so he donated the money immediately.

"Hey, I advanced, aren't you happy, Shi?"

Chen Mobai decided to tease her, but to his surprise, she burst into tears after hearing what he said.

This caught everyone off guard.

In the end, Cao Yaling, being more experienced, led her away from the ring and went down to comfort her.

"It seems like she's invested all the money she earned in the previous rounds."

Shi Yuanqing and Shi Jingjing were relatives, and he offered a brief explanation for why the latter had become like this. Chen Mobai knew this was the case, but what could he say?

It's because Shi Jingjing doesn't trust him at all.

At this moment, the referee teacher used a miraculous Earth-to-Stone Art, restoring the arena, which had been destroyed by Chen Mobai's Crimson Flame Sword Talisman, to its original state within five minutes.

After Chen Mobai and Gong Xiangyu, the next pair to Spell Duel will be Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan.

The latter had already landed on the ring. He had a square face, a buzz cut, and looked rather thin, but he exuded a very fierce aura.

"Keep it up next round."

Chen Mobai patted Shi Yuanqing on the shoulder and said in an encouraging tone.

"Yes, I will definitely win this round."

Having broken free from his self-repression, Shi Yuanqing was completely different from before, and he stepped onto the arena with high morale.

"Oh, you seem a little different."

Xue Luan raised an eyebrow as he looked at Shi Yuanqing who had come up to him, but his eyes remained unchanged.

"You are still the same as before."

Shi Yuanqing remained calm. With each breath, he circulated his internal energy, and the newly repaired arena beneath his feet began to tremble slowly.

"Tsk, how come I never realized you were such a smooth talker?"

Xue Luan tilted his head, narrowed his eyes, and squatted down slightly.

At the same time, Shi Yuanqing also made the same move.

"Both of them served in the military?"

One of the representatives from the academy was somewhat puzzled by their starting gestures.

"They were probably sent in to hone their skills for Spell Duel."

Lan Haitan came from a military family, and although he only saw the opening stance, he made an accurate judgment.

Although both of them were well-trained, especially Xue Luan, they still lacked the bloodthirsty, battle-hardened aura that comes from having seen blood.

However, even so, Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan's standard starting stances for the Military Killing Fist " still gave Lan Haitan a long-lost itch to fight.

Who do you think will win?

"Xue Luan, I guess."

"I agree with you."

Eight of the representatives from the academy believed that Xue Luan would win, while one thought that Shi Yuanqing might pull off an upset. Yan Qiongzhi from the Natural Academy, however, was not interested in this and did not express her opinion.

But just as they turned their attention to the representatives of the Four Great Dao Academies, wanting to hear their opinions, the referee on the stage announced the start of the competition.

Bang! Shi Yuanqing and Xue Luan, without any fancy moves, delivered a direct, fist-to-fist punch.

Ripples spread through the air, centered on the two men's fists.

Then Xue Luan suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Shi Yuanqing, however, seemed to have anticipated this. He raised his left hand, and a whip kick came out as if it had been delivered automatically, striking his wrist heavily.

Thump thump thump! In an instant, the two shifted positions, and students with poor eyesight could barely see their true forms. All that could be heard was the violent turbulence in the air, followed by clear footprints appearing on the rocks that formed the arena.

But in an instant, the entire rock shattered, because the force of their battle dissipated, and the rocky arena could not withstand it.

With a loud "bang!", a sound completely different from before rang out. Shi Yuanqing's move had been flawed, and his chest armor had been kicked, cracking open with gaps.

His entire body seemed to have been impacted by a tremendous force, leaving several craters on the arena and dissipating much of the impact before he was able to stop his backward movement.

Suddenly! Xue Luan appeared on Shi Yuanqing's left side as if by shadow, and delivered a sweeping kick to the latter's left knee.

Click!

The sound, like something cracking, caused Xue Luan's swift movements to abruptly halt, and he was forced to retreat rapidly.

But at this moment, Shi Yuanqing did not retreat but advanced. He clasped his hands together, and the mud in the air was transformed into two whips, which lashed heavily onto Xue Luan's crossed arms.

"Call!"

Shi Yuanqing opened his mouth and exhaled, a pale red flame spewing from his mouth and nose, landing on Xue Luan's face, whose body was out of control.

Despite his severely injured hands and aching feet, Xue Luan, in this desperate situation, opened his mouth and activated a Talisman that was stuck to his tongue.

Whoosh!

The sound of flowing water rang out, and a Water Sword was spat out from Xue Luan's mouth, colliding with the flames spewed from Shi Yuanqing's mouth. In a violent explosion, water vapor filled the air, completely obscuring the figures of the two.

"Hey, that's a good move, I can learn it."

Seeing that Xue Luan had hidden the Talisman on his tongue beforehand and activated Talisman with his tongue despite the inconvenience of his hands, Chen Mobai was deeply inspired.

Bang bang bang! Just then, half of the arena was covered by water mist, but the Shadows of the two moving quickly could still be vaguely seen by the crowd. The constant sound of fists colliding and the piercing sound of air being stirred up reminded all the spectators that a battle that might be the most bloody and courageous in the history of the Spell Duel was taking place inside.

"This is bad, Yuan Qing seems to be suppressed."

Before anyone knew it, Shi Jingjing and Cao Yaling returned. Their eyes sparkled with spiritual light, and they had already seen through the fog with their Spiritual Eye.

"Oh, you're alright now."

"Shut up, you made me lose all my pocket money."

He should have kept quiet, because once he did, Shi Jingjing felt an urge to cry again.

"So, this..."

Boom!

Just as Chen Mobai was about to give a lecture, a thunderous roar suddenly came from the arena. Then, the mist was torn apart, revealing Xue Luan, who was naked from the waist up. He didn't look very muscular, but his body was well-proportioned and perfectly shaped.

Shi Yuanqing was sent flying by Xue Luan's punch, and the surrounding mist was also dispersed by Xue Luan's punch.

A few streaks of lightning flashed above Xue Luan's eyebrows and buzz cut, making him look like a thunder god as he stood in the center of the arena.

"Thunder Method!?"

Chen Mobai said in disbelief.

It should be known that Thunder Method is undoubtedly the strongest of all spells.

Of all the spells associated with the Black Water Technique, he simply couldn't master the "Ren Shui Thunder Method," not even reaching the basics.

Could it be that Xue Luan has mastered Thunder Method?!
