Chapter 116. The captaincy battle is a foregone conclusion.
After an awkward breakfast, Ai Tutu left the apartment, while Mu Nujiao originally wanted to stay and interrogate Mo Fan.
But the thought of the two of them being together makes me fear that I'll just be wasting my time again.
During the meal, Mo Fan did quite a few times to provoke him by sticking his foot out.
It was precisely because of Mo Fan's provocation that she was somewhat afraid, because she realized that she was tolerating it.
Thinking back carefully, there was a time when he and Mu Ningxue were in the desolate city.
Mu Nujiao could easily see the difference between Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue. She simply hadn't wanted to consider it before.
Having realized her situation, Mu Nujiao had no choice but to flee.
In fact, Mo Fan also had his own things to do today.
That is, today I'm going to the Imperial Magic Association in the capital with Dean Xiao.
Because, while the nomination competition is in full swing, the national team captain also needs a designated spot.
The two strongest contenders for the captaincy are Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu from the Wei side.
To reiterate, while Ai Jiangtu may be suitable for leading a team, Mo Fan is certainly not the kind of person who would willingly be ordered around by others.
Furthermore, being a team leader doesn't necessarily mean having to rack your brains for everything.
All you need to do is make the decisions.
After Dean Xiao brought Mo Fan to the Palace Magic Association, they saw Dean Song He. There were also several other people present.
But these people weren't worth Mo Fan's attention; it was a guy around his age next to them.
He was like a dark sculpture, possessing a kind of fortitude and solitude that was completely different from men of his age.
Clearly, that was Ai Jiangtu.
"This is Mo Fan, a student of our Pearl Academy," Dean Xiao introduced to the group.
"You probably know why I called you here," said an elderly man with a white beard.
Although he was an old man, he looked quite energetic and spirited.
"Um."
"Then let's have a friendly spar. Whoever wins will be the captain of the National Team this time," said Pang Lai, the chief court official.
In fact, he was the real Grand Tutor of the National Government.
It's just that because of their extremely high status, everything was arranged for Feng Li and others.
"Okay." Mo Fan did not refuse when he heard what Pang Lai said.
If we can solve this problem directly and save some trouble, that would be a good thing.
Inside a magical arena.
After Mo Fan greeted Ai Jiangtu, they each stood to one side.
As soon as Dean Songhe, acting as the referee, announced the start, magical fluctuations began to emanate from the two of them.
"The Spider's Trap!"
Knowing Ai Jiangtu's strength in spatial manipulation, Mo Fan did not choose to bombard directly, but instead used curse manipulation first.
"Ghostly torture!"
However, Mo Fan overlooked one thing: Ai Jiangtu's curse system had reached a high level!
His little spider was torn to shreds almost instantly.
"Damn it, looks like we have no choice but to fight head-on!" Mo Fan cursed under his breath, and then flames erupted all over his body.
"Heavenly Flame Funeral!"
Nowadays, Mo Fan's process of drawing constellations is no longer as slow as it used to be; instead, the constellations quickly come together to form.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"
At that moment, huge bursts of flame descended from the sky, almost covering the entire area.
"Spatial Rhythm - Time Lag!"
Ai Jiangtu was momentarily stunned as he looked at Mo Fan's high-level fire magic, but then he remembered what Nan Jue had said about 'Mo Fan'.
Clearly, the other party is indeed worth taking seriously.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
After the fire rain exploded, Ai Jiangtu suddenly appeared not far from Mo Fan.
"Mind control!"
"Mind control!"
"Buzz!!!"
Although Mo Fan's spatial realm was not as high as Ai Jiangtu's, his spiritual realm was comparable to his.
Two streams of silver psychic energy collided in mid-air, then immediately twisted and dissipated.
"Heavenly Flame Funeral - Hellfire!"
After neutralizing Ai Jiangtu's spatial attack, Mo Fan immediately followed up with another high-level spell.
This time, the sheer force of the attack alone was enough to overwhelm Ai Jiangtu!
This is different from the first level of the Heavenly Flame Funeral, which is a large area of fire rain falling down, while this second level is a huge hellfire stone!
"Buzzing!!!"
Although Ai Jiangtu had used his spatial power to its fullest extent, he was still unable to stop the bombardment of the Hellfire Stones.
However, he was also a mage who had fought on the battlefield for many years. The moment the firestone fell, he was covered with a set of magical armor.
"Boom!!!"
"Boom!"
After Ai Jiangtu used his magical artifacts to withstand the bombardment, he immediately used the high-level curse magic Ghost Punishment to suppress Mo Fan.
Unfortunately, Mo Fan was already prepared.
Watching the two fighting on the field, Pang Lai was slightly surprised and asked Dean Xiao beside her, "Just how many magic systems does this Mo Fan have?"
At this moment, Mo Fan had already demonstrated fire, space, and curse abilities, but what he knew was that Mo Fan also possessed wind, lightning, and summoning abilities!
But just now he clearly saw Mo Fan use his Shadow Step to create some distance!
With his cultivation level, it was not difficult for him to see that Mo Fan's thing was neither a magical tool nor a magical artifact, but clearly a magic-based item!
Dean Xiao was also embarrassed. To be honest, he didn't know exactly how many magic systems Mo Fan had!
Pang Lai didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said, "I heard that this kid's summoned beast has already reached the commander level. My god, how did he cultivate it?"
Originally, Pang Lai also wanted to see Mo Fan's summoned beast.
But judging from the current situation, it seems that Mo Fan has no intention of letting his summoned beasts appear.
Ai Jiangtu was already struggling to cope with just the fire, space, shadow, and curse spells alone.
Although Ai Jiangtu was more skilled in spatial and curse-related cultivation, their spiritual realms were the same.
In fact, Mo Fan's mastery of fire magic far surpasses Ai Jiangtu's mastery of space magic and curse magic.
The outcome of the battle was, in fact, already a foregone conclusion.
Ai Jiangtu on the field became increasingly nervous as the game progressed!
Mo Fan's destructive magic seemed to require no magical energy. Most importantly, while he was using spatial power to counteract it, Mo Fan was also using spatial power to compress his own defenses.
If he couldn't get his way with curse magic, his third element, light magic, was even less effective.
"I admit defeat." Although Ai Jiangtu is not a man who easily admits defeat, at this moment, he had no choice but to admit defeat.
There was no need to continue fighting. Mo Fan clearly still had tricks up his sleeve, while his magical artifacts were already exhausted, so continuing the fight would have the same result.
Mo Fan looked at the panting Ai Jiangtu and said with a smile, "Among my peers, there aren't many who can compete with me for this long. You've done very well."
"But you haven't taken it seriously yet." Ai Jiangtu didn't think Mo Fan was just trying to comfort him.
To be able to do this in the face of such a prodigy is extremely rare among one's peers.
"I've already taken advantage of you by using an extra department," Mo Fan said with a smile.
He originally only planned to deal with Ai Jiangtu with three elements, but he didn't expect to use the Shadow element's displacement ability as well.
"Talent is also a kind of strength," Ai Jiangtu said.
