Throughout his entire senior year, Jiang Yuan gained a great deal.
First was the Stardust Magic Tool that boosted cultivation.
After selling the Mortal grade Stardust Magic Tool and the Soul Essences he had obtained during this time, he commissioned the Hunter's League to purchase a Spirit grade Nebula Magic Tool from Modu.
He could now cultivate for fourteen hours every day, equivalent to twenty-one hours in an Overclock state.
It was worth mentioning that after swallowing a Soul Essence, Mo Fan's Little Loach pendant had also advanced to Spirit grade.
Next was his magical cultivation.
Driven by constant cultivation and battle, Jiang Yuan's Water element nebula had reached Intermediate Level Three.
Breaking through to the Advanced level was just around the corner.
The Undead element had broken through to the intermediate level as well, but aside from having more abundant magic energy and slightly stronger undead summoned through Undead Summoning, there had not been much improvement.
The intermediate Undead element spell was called Undead Contract. It required finding undead to form contracts with, then raising them like summoned beasts.
Where was he supposed to find undead in Bocheng? He could only wait until one day when he went to the Ancient Capital to make a contract.
Then there was the Lightning element.
The Lightning element was currently at Beginner Level Three.
Lastly was the Mind element.
His Mind element magic had reached full Beginner-level cultivation.
Although Jiang Yuan had not deliberately increased the time he spent meditating on the Mind element, his meditation speed was extraordinarily fast.
For magic branches such as Dimensional Magic and Mind element magic, which required spiritual power, their strength was closely tied to one's spiritual power realm.
His spiritual power realm was currently at the Second Mirror.
Moreover, he estimated that the Mind element would break through to the intermediate level faster than the Lightning element.
To possess such magical cultivation after only three years of training was astonishing anywhere in the world.
If people also learned that he had an Innate Talent in every element, it would be more than simple shock.
Those shameless old bastards from the Court of Heresy Judgment and the Court of Holy Judgment would make their move.
"Mo Fan, isn't tomorrow the day of your agreed duel with the Mu Clan? Are you ready?" Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered and asked.
"Mm." Mo Fan fell into thought.
"Who was the person I'm dueling again?"
This past year had been too busy. He had long since tossed the matter of the duel to the back of his mind.
He truly could not remember who his opponent was.
It seemed to be someone named Fish Tank or something?
"Brother Fan, that guy's name is Yu Ang. Yu Ang," Zhang Xiaohou reminded him.
"Oh, right. A minor character like that is already beneath my notice. Whether he's Yu Ang or Fish Tank Fish Jerky or whatever, just wait for this young master to stomp all over him and make everyone see me in a new light!" Mo Fan was extremely confident in his current strength.
"Duel well, Mo Fan," Jiang Yuan said, a trace of heaviness in his tone.
Once Mo Fan finished the duel and entered the Sacred Spring, it would not be long before the bloody warning was sounded.
The Bocheng Disaster was about to arrive.
The next day.
At Mu Family Manor, every prominent figure in Bocheng had gathered. For a time, the manor became a scene of influential people raising cups and exchanging benefits.
"Mo Fan is here!" someone shouted, and everyone's eyes fell upon the three who had just entered the manor.
Jiang Yuan walked at the front without saying a word.
Zhang Xiaohou looked somewhat awkward. He did not know where to put his hands and could only scratch the back of his head to ease the embarrassment.
Mo Fan was completely different. Flashing a wide grin, he cheerfully greeted everyone.
"Homeroom teacher, you're here too! Why have you gotten thinner lately?"
"Oh, the Chief Instructor is here too. Has anything interesting happened at Snow Mountain Posthouse lately?"
"Hey, you there, why isn't your master Mu Bai around? I wanted him to witness my heroic bearing. What a pity."
Zhao Kun San, who had been called out, wore a dark expression as he said resentfully, "Keep acting cocky. When your opponent pins you down and beats you senseless later, don't say you're from Tianlan High School. But don't worry, I'll celebrate your pathetic scramble with your head in your hands."
"Then I'm afraid you won't get to see me being beaten up." Mo Fan smiled.
He swept his gaze around. Not only had his classmates and teachers come, even his father was watching him from among the crowd.
Further away, Mu Zhuoyun had also noticed Mo Fan's arrival.
Their gazes met.
Mo Fan clicked his tongue and said to Jiang Yuan, "My first wife isn't here. She's probably gone back to Imperial Capital Academy."
"Stop thinking about your first wife. Don't hold back during the duel later," Jiang Yuan said.
"What's wrong?"
"Just a feeling," Jiang Yuan said casually.
That feeling again.
Mo Fan did not quite understand. Feelings were too mysterious, but Jiang Yuan's instincts had been remarkably accurate several times already. Besides, he had wanted to stomp Yu Ang into the ground anyway.
Then there was no need to hold back.
Who cared about the Mu Clan or whatever?
Today was the stage for Mo Fan to make his name known far and wide!!
Before the official magic duel began, there was a lavish banquet glittering with gold. In order to win over young talents, Mu Zhuoyun specifically delivered some polished pleasantries.
The effect was fairly good.
At least quite a few people applauded enthusiastically.
Once the banquet ended, the magic duel began.
Everyone gathered at an oval Duel Arena within the manor. Tiered seating surrounded it on all sides for the guests to watch comfortably.
After everyone took their seats, the stars of this duel entered the arena.
Mo Fan was the first to step onto the Duel Arena.
Yu Ang then made a grand entrance dressed in snow-white attire, wearing several pieces of magical equipment and magic tools that fully displayed the noble style of the Mu Clan.
What a show-off. Such a damn show-off.
Mo Fan could not help muttering inwardly, That Fish Tank dresses up like such a show-off. Later, I have to let this kid know that only I can be this flashy in all of Bocheng!
As the witness for this duel, Deng Kai walked to the center of the Duel Arena.
"You two are both outstanding members of Bocheng's younger generation of mages. In short, this duel will end at the proper point!"
After speaking, Deng Kai moved to the edge of the arena but did not leave entirely. This would allow him to intervene in time should anything unexpected happen.
"Alright, shake hands. You can begin once I give the command," Deng Kai said.
The instant Mo Fan and Yu Ang stepped forward to shake hands, icy and fiery energy erupted within their palms. Their first clash began before the duel had even started.
Feeling the cold in his hand, Mo Fan curled his lip.
Starting today, he would let those self-righteous people who looked down on others from on high know who was throwing eggs at rocks, and who was the real clown!
Everyone who had mocked and looked down on him would shut their damn mouths today!!!
"Mo Fan's fired up," Jiang Yuan said from the stands.
"If it were me, I'd be fired up too!" Zhang Xiaohou said excitedly.
With so many people watching this duel, winning would make him the talk of the entire city. Who would not talk about it then?
What boy could fail to get fired up in a situation like this?!
Seeing Zhang Xiaohou's face turn red as a monkey's ass from excitement, Jiang Yuan immediately understood.
This guy was genuinely fired up.
No wonder he could get along so well with Mo Fan. In certain ways, the two were quite alike.
Of the three of them, only he was a mature man.
"Brother Yuan, I bought this support baton for Brother Fan. It lights up. Want to hold it and wave it around?" Zhang Xiaohou handed him a metal rod.
Its body was coated in matte black paint and decorated with colorful stickers featuring esports elements. When lit, it flashed blue, and when swung, it even made the sound effect of a light sword slashing.
It was full of coolness and technological flair!
Jiang Yuan's eyes lit up, and he instinctively reached out.
Then he immediately entered the Overclock state.
He waved his hand and refused like a mature man. "No, I'm not interested in that. You wave it yourself."
As he spoke, his eyes occasionally flicked toward the blue light glowing from the support baton.
