Chapter 238: The Battle of Spear and Shield
Under the powerful impact, Garage and Weston were like kites with broken strings, their bodies uncontrollably arcing through the air before falling heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, a rather disheveled sight.
Fortunately, the magic tools they were equipped with were of a high grade, which barely allowed them to withstand Mo Fan's astonishingly powerful blow; otherwise, they would have been completely knocked out by that single strike.
Even so, both of them felt a chill in their hearts; the terrifying power Mo Fan displayed in that attack far exceeded what they could endure at their age, making them truly feel the enormous gap in their strengths.
Just then, Mo Fan walked towards them with steady steps, his aura carrying an invisible pressure.
Seeing this, they both had a thought and were about to raise their hands in surrender.
They weren't fools; they knew very well that with their current strength, continuing to stay there and fight Mo Fan would undoubtedly mean waiting to be abused further, with no chance of winning at all.
However, just as Mo Fan approached them, a Mind Element fluctuation, like a silent undercurrent, swiftly surged towards him.
"Buzz~" This Mind Element ripple carried a mysterious power, attempting to interfere with Mo Fan's mind.
However, Mo Fan himself was a master of Mind Element magic, so he naturally wasn't afraid of such Mind Element attacks.
He merely focused his mind slightly and easily blocked the Mind Element fluctuation directly, his movements clean and decisive, without any hesitation.
As Mo Fan blocked that attack, he immediately saw a wisp of blue energy shield suddenly appear around Garage and Weston.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
"..."
When the shield appeared, it was accompanied by a series of crisp sounds, and at this moment, Ailin, clad in blue magic tools, walked over with elegant steps.
As soon as she arrived, the blue energy shield naturally enveloped Weston and Garage, firmly protecting the two of them within it.
Seeing Ailin's arrival, Garage and Weston were both overjoyed.
One must know that although Garage was a defensive Mage, his defensive capabilities were not at all on the same level compared to the Super-Order magic artifact Ailin possessed—the Sea King Spirit Shadow.
The defensive capability of this Sea King Spirit Shadow was astonishing, a top-tier magic artifact coveted by many Super-Order Mages.
Looking at the magic tool on Ailin and the mysterious blue light shield emanating around her, Mo Fan couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this the Sea King Spirit Shadow magic artifact that even Super-Order Mages covet?"
"Mm." Ailin glanced at Mo Fan, then nodded gently and said, "In terms of pure strength, our team is indeed no match for you."
She was quite frank, directly admitting the gap in their strengths.
Mo Fan looked at Ailin, then smiled slightly and said, "But I think you probably can't fully unleash the power of this magic artifact, can you?"
"That's right." Ailin nodded again, not hiding anything, and frankly admitted the situation Mo Fan described.
"So, this is a battle of spear and shield then?" Mo Fan added, using a vivid metaphor to describe the current situation, likening his side's attack to a spear and Ailin's side's defense, aided by the magic artifact, to a shield.
Ailin evidently had some understanding of the culture of Daxia; she followed Mo Fan's words, saying, "If you can break through my defense, then this match, we lose. However... this match might not be fair, because we won't stand here and let you bombard us."
Her words were reasonable; after all, no one would be foolish enough to stand there waiting to be attacked.
The moment Ailin finished speaking, Weston, who was originally sprawled on the ground, suddenly got up. He seemed to have been enraged by Mo Fan's easy neutralization of his attack and immediately began to unleash destructive power.
In an instant, Thunderbolts filled the sky, like a surging thunderstorm, beginning to bombard Mo Fan and the others from all directions, an impressive display of power.
But unfortunately, Mo Fan merely stood there, like a towering mountain, as steady as Mount Tai.
"Buzz~~~!!!"
All the Thunderbolts that came crashing towards him, the moment they got close, were as if absorbed by an invisible black hole, all of them sucked into the chaos, disappearing without a trace, as if those attacks had never appeared.
"..." Weston, seeing this scene, was both furious and anxious, wishing he could stomp his feet and curse.
This Mo Fan was just too overpowered; not only was his destruction not as strong as Mo Fan's, but his own attacks were like child's play to him, completely ineffective!
Garage had originally thought of helping with the attack, but seeing this situation, at this moment, he completely gave up on that idea.
He knew very well that his own attacks were probably not as good as Weston's, and he couldn't do anything to Mo Fan.
Ailin also felt somewhat helpless; Mind Element impacts were useless against Mo Fan, and Weston's destructive attacks could be easily absorbed by Mo Fan. At this moment, it seemed they had no other choice but to rely on the Sea King Spirit Shadow for defense.
It was at this moment that Xibote ran over in a panic.
Seeing this, Ailin's thought moved, and Xibote smoothly entered the area covered by the blue energy shield, being protected.
And when Mu Ningxue and the others saw Xibote hide inside the shield, they wanted to rush in to stop him, but as soon as they got close, they were as if they hit an invisible wall and were directly bounced back.
At this moment, they also deeply realized the extraordinary nature of this magic artifact; its defensive capability was indeed unusually strong.
"Jiang Yu, Li Kaifeng, you two step down," Mo Fan said.
Hearing this, both of them were stunned.
"Send up two people with strong attack power," Mo Fan immediately added. He was making adjustments based on the current battle situation, wanting to replace them with more offensive team members to deal with the current situation.
After hearing Mo Fan's arrangement, the two of them exchanged glances, then without saying any more unnecessary words, they turned and left decisively.
Soon, Daxia replaced two team members.
The ones who came on were Oriental Lie, who primarily cultivated the Fire Element, and Lu Yilin from the Lu family, who also primarily cultivated the Fire Element.
There was no other way; Mu Ningxue was being saved for the finals, and Ai Jiangtu and the others needed to rest. Moreover, Mo Fan wanted explosive power.
Because there was no elimination in this world experience, Lu Yilin had always stayed in the National Pavilion.
Although Lu Yilin had advanced to Gaoyi first, ever since Oriental Lie's cultivation improved, his strength seemed somewhat insufficient in comparison.
After all, Oriental Lie's talent held a huge advantage; the destructive magic he unleashed was many times stronger than that of an ordinary High-Level Mage.
But then again, both of them primarily cultivated the Fire Element, so even if their destructive power wasn't as exaggerated as his, it was still present.
In the audience seats, many people looked on at the unfolding scenes with a look of incomprehension.
Although the opponent used a Super-Order magic artifact for defense, it shouldn't have caused their own team members to retreat without a fight, right?
