Background / History

Bo City and the Duel with Yu Ang

Mo Fan attended Tianlan Magic High School and challenged Yu Ang at the latter’s coming-of-age celebration. Despite Yu Ang’s superior equipment, Mo Fan countered his Ice magic with Fire before revealing his Lightning Element. The unexpected second element defeated Yu Ang and prompted the Military Department, Magic Association, and school to compete for the chance to train him 68 69.

The duel also involved his father, Mo Jiaxing, who tried to plead with Mu Zhuoyun on his behalf. Jiang Chun prevented Mo Jiaxing from kneeling, an intervention Mo Fan later remembered with gratitude. During Bo City’s Crimson Alert, Lin Yuxin evacuated Mo Fan from the Earth Sacred Spring chamber; Lu Wu joined their escape and later helped the school’s vanguard squad reach safety 69 70 72 75 100.

Pearl Academy and Hunter Work

At Pearl Academy, Mo Fan challenged Lu Wu despite believing that even four elements and his Ghost Wolf Beast would not be enough to win. Their duel exposed his Intermediate Fire and Lightning cultivation, while his Shadow Element remained less developed 100 101 102.

Alongside Ling Ling, he investigated the Molting Demon attacks and called Lu Wu for help when the escaped female demon became a larger threat. He later entered a meat-processing factory while searching for the Shadow Demon Beast and encountered a Black Vatican ambush. Mo Fan and Lu Wu killed the attackers inside, then prepared to pursue the surviving fugitive 107 108 131.

Mo Fan temporarily joined Lu Wu’s team after Zhang Lulu was injured. When Luo Song’s group demanded their captured Shadow Demon Beast, he refused to surrender the chance to cultivate in the Three-Step Tower 141.

Desolate City and Demonization

During the practical-training expedition, Mo Fan helped Lu Wu fight Lu Nian, using Shadow magic to restrain him and Fire magic to interfere with his pursuit. Already wounded and depleted, Mo Fan subsequently encountered Jiang Yi’s group and became the Blood Leech’s transformed test subject 167 168 170.

Although he retained some reason, he feared losing control and left to hunt a pseudo-dragon rather than remain near the others. He later explained that his four elements meant four rounds of backlash: one had already occurred, and three remained, each requiring substantial Soul Essences to survive 170 176.

Hangzhou

Mo Fan accompanied Tang Yue when she returned with the Totem Black Snake’s blood for the plague investigation. Zhu Meng detained them while the blood was tested. His role in the wider crisis included standing on the snake’s head during the battle against the Silver Skylord; his Hangzhou contributions later helped earn him National Team selection votes 248 291 302.

Afterward, he took the snake’s shed skin to the craftsman Huo Tuo. Unable to afford the crafting fee, he undertook a search for vampire fangs and helped Liu Ru obtain revenge, though he could not prevent her transformation into a member of the Blood Tribe 291.

Ancient Capital and Sha Yuan

After transferring from the Summoning System to the Fire Institute, Mo Fan climbed its rankings and defeated tenth-ranked Ding Yumian. During the Nomination Competition, news that Zhang Xiaohou’s rescue squad had been killed devastated him. He defeated Dongfang Lie using Little Flame Fairy’s possession, then abandoned the competition to search for his friend rather than wait three days for Lu Wu 283 290 291.

The search led to Zhang Xiaohou, alive but apparently unable to recognize him. Mo Fan embraced him despite his memory loss. As the undead crisis worsened, Mo Fan served as Demon Man’s vice-captain, fought in the campaign against the Ghost Tyrant, and chose to pursue Black Vatican agents while Lu Wu rescued their friends 295 302 303 322.

He continued toward Sha Yuan with Zhang Xiaohou and the escort group, broke through using the Immortal Lotus, and fought the undead beside Lu Wu. Repeatedly exhausting and restoring his mana eventually led to the spontaneous awakening of two further elemental regions 333 337 343.

National Team Journey

During the overseas journey, Mo Fan helped investigate Miyata’s death and the vanished island later suspected to be a gigantic Sea Monster. He also participated in operations against the Red Ornament Guild and helped Ling Ling isolate the Jellyfish Vile Maggot connected to the Drowning Curse 367 382 423 436.

When Lu Yilin deliberately trapped him among Forbidden Moon Stone Demons, Mo Fan survived until the team returned. He rejected merely leaving the matter to the authorities and threw Lu Yilin into the demons, warning everyone against rescuing him 405 406.

In Egypt, Mo Fan and Lu Wu agreed to divide their expedition’s proceeds equally, though Mo Fan acknowledged that the Dark Sword Master’s immensely valuable Soul Essence belonged to Lu Wu. Selling their Egyptian resources earned each of them nine hundred million 441 447 448.

World Academy Competition

Against Spain, Mo Fan used Little Flame Fairy’s Calamity Flame and his own Rose Flame to overpower Fran in a direct clash. China’s victory secured a place in the top sixteen. Learning that the first-place reward, Divine Seal Praise, would increase a mage’s base power made him eager to combine it with elemental seeds and strengthened Stars; he had not yet received the reward 471 472 473.

Appearance

• Everyday clothing: Wears slippers during the formal duel with Yu Ang and ordinary clothes while cultivating at the Earth Sacred Spring 68 72.
• Demon form: Becomes a humanoid, demon-god-like figure with a pale mane swept backward, a sinister aura, and an altered voice 170.
• Black Snake Armor: Wears imposing blue-black scale armor activated through a soul imprint 442.
• Flame-wing effect: Forms enormous fiery wings during the Spain match, but cannot actually sustain flight with them 471 472.

Personality

Mo Fan is fiercely protective of family and friends. He becomes furious when his father is humiliated during the Yu Ang duel, and he risks his academy nomination to search for Zhang Xiaohou. His determination is reciprocal: Zhang Xiaohou had previously risked everything to find him after his demonization 69 291.

He is competitive without being blind to differences in strength. He challenges Lu Wu knowing he is outmatched and continues seeking resources to close the gap. His willingness to endure the Immortal Lotus’s potentially fatal energy reflects the same appetite for dangerous opportunities 100 141 337.

His irreverence ranges from teasing teammates to openly insulting powerful opponents. He is pragmatic about money and hunter work, but refuses charity and insists on contributing to shared profits. Against deliberate betrayal, he is merciless: Lu Yilin’s family connections do not persuade him to spare someone who tried to kill him 290 361 371 406 441.

Abilities & Skills

Innate Dual Element

Mo Fan’s talent grants two awakenings at every cultivation breakthrough, rather than only an extra element at the Basic Level 105 135.

• Intermediate awakenings: Summoning and Shadow 105.
• Later awakenings: Silver Stardust and a blood-ink-colored sixth region emerge after his Advanced breakthrough 337 343.

• Rose Flame and Calamity Flame: Can be combined into a stronger flame capable of overpowering Fran’s blue Soul Fire 471 472.

• Possession: Little Flame Fairy merges into his body to amplify his Fire attacks 290.
• Her Calamity Flame allows him to contest Soul Grade fire rather than rely on Rose Flame alone 471.

Shadow Magic

Shadow provides concealment, movement, and restraint 101 107 167.

• Shadow Escape: Allows travel through darkness; his proficiency is initially limited 101.
• Lighting restriction: Insufficient shadows force him to use an elevator, and a brightly lit area interrupts his pursuit of the female Molting Demon 107.
• Giant Shadow Nail: Imprisonment: Restrains Lu Nian within a dark barrier 167.

Space Magic

Mo Fan can manipulate targets with spatial force 406.

• Lifts Lu Yilin from the ground and slams him against a cliff 406.

• Has not mastered advanced Space magic by the time he considers how useful it would be for transporting Ye Xin Xia 447.

Demon Transformation

The Blood Leech triggers a powerful transformation compatible with Mo Fan’s unusual elemental constitution 170 176.

• Produces immense physical power; he leaps more than a hundred meters into the air when leaving to hunt the pseudo-dragon 170.
• Initially retains partial reason but experiences violent impulses and fears losing control 170.
• Requires large quantities of Soul Essences to survive successive rounds of backlash 176.
• His condition differs from Lu Wu’s controlled Beast Transformation, which Lu Wu reports can be used without the same backlash 176.
• Influential figures later arrange to keep both men’s Demon Element abilities secret 351.

Star Strengthening and Soul Collection

Mo Fan strengthens his Stars using Soul Essences, increasing his magic’s power beyond ordinary spell tiers 305 306.

• Understands that fourth-tier magic requires strengthening the Stars associated with that cultivation level 306.
• Uses Little Loach, his soul vessel, to collect souls during large battles 302 303.
• Keeps the Soul Essences synthesized by Little Loach when dividing other expedition spoils with Lu Wu 447.
