Versatile Mage c1-2021, page 83

In the arena, Bai Cangfeng was already standing there alone, totally confident.
He looked just like Luo Song, who had single-handedly decimated the three Summoner students just a little while ago. Both walked into the arena alone and were facing off against Summoned beasts that had long ago proven to be difficult to dealt with calmly.
"You are Mo Fan?" asked Bai Cangfeng as a gentle smile appeared on his face. He focused on Mo Fan and said, "Interesting, I have to say that you are one of the best among the new students at the school. However, you and I both know that once we made it to this level, Primary level mages are nothing more than just puny insects… The so-called two hundred people here are just fools that came in groups of five, there's nothing to be proud of if all you did was just bully them."
Mo Fan on the other hand, was also staring at this guy who was about to fight him by himself. Judging from this person's presence, Mo Fan knew that this new opponent possessed strength far superior to Zhuang Lifeng.
"You are quite smart, actually, to be able to exploit the advantages of the Intermediate level to obtain more resources. Perhaps it was fine for you if you had only offended those without a strong background, but don't you think that you forgot about the others with a huge background among the new students? Damn you!"
Bai Cangfeng put up an angered expression and in just an instant, tore his gentle image apart as he cursed at Mo Fan.
However, he stopped cursing almost instantly as he saw that Mo Fan had already started forming a violet Star Atlas while he was talking. If it wasn't for his senses detecting that a huge amount of Lightning energy had started acc.u.mulating around him, Bai Cangfeng might not even have realized the Star Atlas was forming, because this sneaky bastard had used the body of the spirit wolf to block his line of sight!
"Just shut up, will you?" scolded Mo Fan.
"!!!!" Bai Cangfeng was rendered speechless.
The Star Atlas had completely formed under Mo Fan's feet, the Star Paths started transmitting violet energy, and each time the energy passed from one Star Path to another, the power of the Lightning Star Atlas would increase little by little.
When the time had come, Mo Fan pointed his index finger towards the blue skies above!
Without any fancy moves or signs, the Intermediate level Lightning Elemental magic formed out of nowhere. It gave off a murderous feeling of wanting to kill, without any other nonsense. As Mo Fan pointed his finger upwards, thunderclouds formed on top of Bai Cangfeng out of nowhere!
It did not take long before the lightning started going on a rampage everywhere around the arena!
Hong~~~!!!!
Ear-piercing thunderclaps shrieked across the arena, and caused some of the students to cover their ears in fear.
In front of Mo Fan's eyes, the violet lightning struck down from the skies, and the bolt flew straight towards Bai Cangfeng like an slithering dragon charging towards its prey.
With a destructive boom, the lightning landed right on Bai Cangfeng! Before the lightning even landed, the ground around Bai Cangfeng was already being torn apart by the massive amount of electricity!
The energy was so strong that even Teacher Gu Han, who was standing there safeguarding the students, frowned and showed a slightly nervous expression.
To be honest, even he did not manage to react in time, and now he was unsure if he could even help Bai Cangfeng withstand this lightning magic unleashed by Mo Fan….
Chapter 164 - Invincible
BOOM!
The floor of the arena stage shattered under the horrifying thunderstrike! Although the Thunderbolt was swift and strong, it was not as fancy as a Lightning Strike. But at the same time, it possessed the strongest destructive power of all the Intermediate spells! If Bai Cangfeng didn't have any defensive magic equipment, he would be crushed for sure!!
In the nick of time, a golden ray appeared from nowhere, shrouding Bai Cangfeng entirely as it turned into a golden barrier.
Bai Cangfeng, who had finally pulled himself out of his state of shock, quickly summoned his own defensive magic equipment. However, it was obvious that Teacher Gu Han's defensive magic had gotten into place ahead of his gear.
Right after that, Bai Cangfeng was slammed right to the ground by the impact of the Thunderbolt. Thanks to his magic gear and Teacher Gu Han's magic nullifying some of the destructive force of the Thunderbolt, he only suffered some minor injuries. However, Bai Cangfeng was still trembling at the close call!!
"Bastard! I will kill you!!" Bai Cangfeng stood up angrily, and fire rose within his eyes.
How could this guy attack first before the teacher even give the signal?
And he even dumped an Intermediate Lightning spell without saying a word! Bai Cangfeng had been thinking about how his opponent would deal with him, perhaps he would cast an Intermediate spell just like him, but he had never expected the outcome would be like this!
"You're out!" Gu Han said without hesitation to Bai Cangfeng, as he exhaled a long and relieved breath of air.
"What? Why? I still have my magic armor equipment, I didn't even need your help! This is your own miscalculation!" replied the frustrated Bai Cangfeng.
To Bai Cangfeng's dismay, Gu Han answered coldly, "If it wasn't because of me just now, you might have been killed straight away! At the least, you had not prepared yourself to use your magic equipment at the time he completed his Intermediate spell!"
"Nonsense! With my reaction speed-" shouted Bai Cangfeng angrily.
Did he just get disqualified before he could even do anything?
Yes, he did! Since the start, he had not thought that his opponent would throw out an Intermediate level Lightning spell, catching him off guard. However, that did not mean that he couldn't use his magic equipment in time!
"How rude! Get lost from my sight!" Gu Han, however, did not go easy on Bai Cangfeng. He simply waved his hand and formed a Wind Element Star Atlas on the ground.
A wild wind rose, Gu Han's clothes waving with it.
In just an instant, the air within the arena seemed to have been s.u.c.k.e.d away entirely. Teacher Gu Han was standing in the center of the storm's eye, looking just like a demon rising from the vortex, standing there high and mighty…
Shocked, Bai Cangfeng stared at Teacher Gu Han with an empty mind. Finally, he gave both Mo Fan and Gu Han cold glares before getting down from the arena angrily.
He was extremely frustrated and stressed out that he was eliminated before he could do anything.
And that was not the thing that bothered him the most. He felt that his magic equipment could have helped him withstand Mo Fan's attack, but that busybody teacher acted quicker than he had!
If a teacher interfered for someone during the battle, that particular person was disqualified, so how was Bai Cangfeng supposed to remain calm?
---
"Teacher Gu Han is so strong!"
"What a short tempered teacher…. Come to think about it again, that Thunderbolt just now-!"
"An Intermediate level Lightning magic! What the hell! I am a main in the Lightning element and I have yet to enter the Intermediate level! Now, a Summoner main out of nowhere can already unleash an Intermediate level Lightning magic!? What on Earth!?"
Upon seeing Mo Fan's Intermediate level Lightning magic, an uproar immediately occurred among the students of the Lightning School.
The appearance of a Thunderbolt was just like lightning striking down around the students on a sunny day. They just couldn't accept it even now!
Another Intermediate level Mage, and he was a mage that could already cast Intermediate level magic!!!
This guy was just like Luo Song!
Luo Song was a mage from the Ice Element. The magic of the Ice chain was already bad enough, but as the strongest Element among the classical Elements, the Lightning Element seemed to be much stronger.
Just like Bai Cangfeng, who did not expect the sudden attack launched by Mo Fan, the other students also did not foresee it. That attack of Mo Fan was just like lightning striking down out of nowhere!
And it was only now that everyone knew why this Summoner mage dared to provoke every new student present today. He was not just a mage that had an evolved Summoned beast, but also a crazily strong Intermediate Lightning mage!
"The combat power of Mo Fan… an Intermediate level Lightning mage… Perhaps Bai Cangfeng would still be no match for Mo Fan even if he wasn't disqualified… An Intermediate level Lightning mage is just way too strong against those of the same level!" Hai Dafu's mouth had not closed once after Mo Fan unleashed his destructive Lightning magic.
The other Summoner students basically wanted to kneel down before Mo Fan and worship him ever since the Thunderbolt made its appearance in his hands. Among the students, Wang Liting had the ric.h.e.s.t facial expression!
Upon looking at the scene where the young man stood tall and mighty on the arena, and not even a person dared to challenge him again, no one could not admire the young man, even if they did not like him!
"There are a few that are still going to look for their own deaths now."
"But there's nothing they can do, Mo Fan will win straight if no one challenges him anymore."
"Only a few more to go now, he has defeated 189 challengers now."...
"Another two groups of challengers, sigh...I wonder why they stepped out now. One of them may be just like Zhuang Lifeng, who Awakened another Element, but being unable to cast any Intermediate level magic means that he is no match for Mo Fan..."
"Oh shit! Seems like we are going to acquire the resources of every School for ourselves!!" shouted Hai Dafu happily as he suddenly realized that point.
"Bro, we would probably only get what belongs to us, those resources will belong only to Mo Fan."
Jiang Yunming nodded slightly as he agreed that Mo Fan had no reason to share the acquired resources with them.
------
"199!" declared Dean Xiao loudly to the new students, telling them that they had only one last chance.
"Let me clarify this, if you have yet to enter the Intermediate level, or if you have, but are unable to cast any Intermediate level magic, I suggest you stand down and step aside. It is good that you have the courage and bravery to fight, but you will be making a fool out of yourself if you charge at the rock with an egg!" said Zhou Zhenghua, who couldn't watch anymore.
And as soon as he said this, the entire stadium turned quiet.
---
Luo Song clenched his fists. He regretted that he had entered the arena way too early, or he might have been able to take Mo Fan down with him after giving all he had. Now, the resources for all the new students would be given to Mo Fan. This was a treatment not even the children of the rich families out there could receive!
And if Mo Fan really received so many resources for himself, then he, Luo Song, would be outrun by Mo Fan by a huge gap!
Damn, were there no more Intermediate level mages??
Impossible, there must be more than just us, they just don't want to get involved since the resources are barely anything to those who are at the Intermediate level...
But the thing is, will they be able to stop themselves from being provoked??
An Intermediate Lightning mage might not be easy deal with, but this brat obviously has no magic gear on him, so what is there to be afraid of?
---
"Someone is up for the challenge!"
Suddenly, a voice was heard shouting from one of the seats among the spectators. The silent arena turned lively again as everyone's eyes landed on the new challenger.
What appeared within their vision, however, was a an extremely beautiful and curvaceous young woman. What made her stand out the most was not her courage to step up at this crucial moment, but her calm!
In no time, someone quickly recognized her and called out her name.
"Mu Nujiao!"
Chapter 165 - The Storm Girl
"It's her?" Shan Shenhe blurted out in surprise as he looked towards the woman heading for the entrance.
On the other side, Bai Cangfeng was also stunned.
Everyone among the rich and noble families knew who this lady was, but at the same time, none of them saw this coming. They simply did not think that this lady would get involved in this matter.
Noises filled up the entire arena as everyone talked and asked one another questions, as they had not expected that the final challenger would be such a pretty lady.
Almost everyone knew about this lady but that was because her beauty had caused an uproar among the male students during the school opening ceremony. She was quickly acknowledged as one of the goddesses among the new female students.
She became so famous so quickly that even someone like Mo Fan who paid little to no attention to gossips knew about this lady through his roommates, as they constantly talked about her.
As the lady entered the arena, Mo Fan took a closer look at her.
He then realized that everything he once heard about her was completely insufficient to describe her true beauty; each and every single rumor he had heard was unable to describe her beauty. She was so elegant and graceful that she felt distant from any mortal's reach, which made her lethally attractive.
The girls in the larger cities are indeed better! I am sure that someone will be willing to pay any cost in order to get married to a lady like this!
"Awooooooooo~~~~!!" Obviously, the spirit wolf was not someone who would enjoy the beauty of this lady; its eyes were glowing green as they stared at her with deeply condensed wariness and hostility.
Clearly, it also felt that this lady was not someone average like the puny pawns before her!
"So, you are Mu Nujiao?" asked Mo Fan, his tone filled with interest as he looked at her.
The lady nodded slightly to Mo Fan's question and showed no other emotion but eagerness to fight.
Right now, Mo Fan felt that this lady was indeed beautiful, but what he saw in her eyes was something as sharp as the tip of a knife, a true eagerness to fight. All of this suggested that this lady called a goddess by the others was not someone approachable.
"How about we make a deal?" Mo Fan asked as he tried to keep his distance from Mu Nujiao, to prevent her from catching him off guard while they were talking, even though he believed that this lady would not do things like that.
"Hmm?" Confusion quickly arose in the Mu Nujiao's eyes.
What else could be talked about at this point? Originally, Mu Nujiao would not have gotten involved in this competition, but since this competition had progressed to this point, she could no longer stand aside and sit back while the resources of her school were being raided by someone else.
"You are the last person I have to challenge. As long as I defeat you, I will be able to obtain a huge sum of resources. I can feel that you are actually kinda strong… How about this? Even if you won, you only secured a pitiful portion of resources for your school and if I win… I will be able to obtain all of the resources!" said Mo Fan as his eyes shone brightly with hope.
On the other hand, Mu Nujiao, who was also a very intelligent person, immediately realized Mo Fan's intentions; she felt funny upon realizing Mo Fan's motive and remained calm as she asked, "So what?"
"You should know by now. How about I take seventy percent and you take thirty? How's that?" replied Mo Fan, as if he was a cunning fox that had been dwelling in the field of business for many years.
Upon hearing this, the expressions of those who heard Mo Fan's suggestion, which included Dean Xiao, the heads of the various schools, and Teacher Gu Han were all extremely rich…..
Can you have more dignity and pride for yourself?!
Where was the Mo Fan that had fought against so many people with no fear, where was the Mo Fan that said out loud proudly that he wanted to rob everyone of their resources???
How can someone so ruthless like that turn into a sly and cunning merchant in just the blink of an eye!
"..." Mu Nujiao stood there as she felt angry and amused at the same time; never had she come across someone like Mo Fan who was so shameless, it was as if his pride was eaten by stray dogs!
"So you are planning to give away thirty percent of what is supposed to be yours after such a long and tough battle, just like that?" Mu Nujiao asked, as she stared at Mo Fan.
"Take it as a token of friendship. You are such a beautiful lady and as a man that admires and appreciates all pretty and good things in this world, I wouldn't mind giving away a little portion of my gains," replied Mo Fan firmly.
"Then… what if I want seventy percent?" Mu Nujiao asked.
Mo Fan's mouth twitched upon her proposal.
Damn, why is this damn woman so greedy? I tried to be good to her by not trying to fight with her, and she is actually asking for more now? How dare she asked for even more now? Is she trying to force me to fight her!?
"Stop wasting your time and saliva. Let us begin!" All the while, all Mu Nujiao wanted was a fight!
To be honest, the level of fighting in this competition was originally more than just boring to mages on the Intermediate level like her, which naturally turned them off. Now however, with Mo Fan who wiped out the entire Primary level new students, he successfully garnered the attention and interest of Mu Nujiao!
And those who knew Mu Nujiao well enough had always described her as a person who looked like an angel, but deep within her was a hunger and thirst for battle!
"Shit! Damn woman!" cursed Mo Fan quietly as he felt the surging battle intent and the relentless elemental typhoon rising around Mu Nujiao.
If it wasn't because her strength was even stronger than his, Mo Fan would not even have bothered trying to negotiate with her!
What's so great about having a higher cultivation level!?
If you want to fight, then I will fight and burn you to a crisp!
"Hu hu hu hu hu hu~~~~~~~~~~~~~"
The air within the arena was vacuumed away and wild winds started blowing.
