Mo Fan was pretty much defeating the challengers with the same move.

Basically, the challengers were no match for Mo Fan’s fourth-tier Fire Burst, which was also strengthened by his Soul Seed...

The Rose Flame was simply too violent. It could increase the power of his Fire Element Spells by 2.5 times. On top of that, the strength of his Fire Burst was doubled after it had reached the fourth tier.

His Fire Burst was basically five times stronger than an ordinary Fire Burst, and could instantly kill Servant-class demon beasts, let alone these students who did not even have any outstanding defensive measures.

As long as the students did not have any defensive abilities, Mo Fan could send them down with a Fire Burst. Those who were mocking him began to take a different view of him after seeing his performance.

“Has no one managed to force him to use an Intermediate Spell?” said Wei Rong, clenching his teeth furiously.

Wei Rong was absolutely panicking. The challengers until now were all ranked lower than four hundred. Not a single one of them had a Soul Seed, thus they definitely were at a disadvantage dueling against Mo Fan...

“Oh, Wei Rong, it seems like you’re wrong this time,” Teacher Bai Mei smiled.

Unlike the inflexible, strict Wei Rong, Bai Mei was not so demanding with the students. -Although Mo Fan was being quite disrespectful when he scolded the entire school, none of it would have happened if you, Wei Rong, did not scold him as trash at the beginning.-

“Mr. Wei, can you please be more professional as a judge? I’ve already knocked this student you’ve called up a few times into the air. Next one please!” Mo Fan’s voice came from the dueling ground.

Wei Rong almost lost himself when he heard the words. If the school did not strictly forbid teachers from attacking students, he would have definitely rushed up and taught that disdainful transfer student a lesson.

“Don’t be too full of yourself!” snapped Wei Rong.

“Not quite, I don’t feel any sense of achievement from defeating them at all,” said Mo Fan.

Wei Rong clenched his teeth and glanced at the name list. He tried to find some familiar names among them.

If Wei Rong could remember someone’s name, it was highly possible that the person was capable to a certain degree. The Fire School was in an awkward position. More than thirty challenges had gone up, yet they had yet to force the transfer student to cast an Intermediate Spell. The difference between their strengths was too huge!

“Jia Zhenlong, very well, finally someone that’s capable!” For once, Wei Rong had a smile on his face.

Jia Zhenlong was ranked two hundred and eightieth in Fire School. His ranking was not too remarkable, nor was he considered an expert in the school, but Wei Rong remembered his name.

Jia Zhenlong was a hunter. He did not spend much time in the school. He always went out in groups with other hunters to hunt demon beasts. He was a very experienced Fire Magician.

Unfortunately, in the month before, he had offended Liu Qian, who was ranked in the top fifty. With Liu Qian’s influence, even without getting himself involved, he had let Jia Zhenlong suffer a tough month. His ranking dropped rapidly to two hundred and eighty!

“Five more until Jia Zhenlong. I hope he won’t let me down,” mumbled Wei Rong.

Without any surprise, the five challengers were defeated by Mo Fan with the same trick.

Magic was not as garish and diverse as many Wuxia or Xuanhuan stories. After so many years of exploration and digging, the humans had only discovered limited Magic Elements and Spells, yet each Spell required lots of efforts and time to master.

It took Mo Fan three whole years in high school to master two Basic Spells. Even though he now had learned more Spells, the Fire Burst and Lightning Strike were still his most adept moves...

Once there was a clear difference between strengths, even using just those two Spells that he had practiced all these years alone, he was still unbeatable!

“Next one, ranked two hundred and eightieth, Jia Zhenlong!” yelled Wei Rong with a flicker of anticipation in his eyes.

Jia Zhenlong obviously had some reputation in the Fire School. The crowd immediately burst into an uproar when his name was called.

“Jia Zhenlong, go and defeat that transfer student. Otherwise, he will really think that our Fire School has no expert!”

That’s right, you can easily defeat him with your strength. Help us get our face back!”

“Doesn’t Jia Zhenlong have a Soul Seed, too?”

“That’s even better, he surely has a chance at defeating him!”

The crowd started yelling when they saw Jia Zhenlong heading to the dueling ground.

Initially, Jia Zhenlong was not so popular in the Fire School. However, when more than thirty challengers had been defeated by a transfer student with just Basic Spells, they could feel their reputation was at stake...

The spectators consisted of students from the other Elements. It was rather embarrassing when so many of them were totally outmatched by a transfer student!

Standing on the dueling ground, Jia Zhenlong was fairly surprised, too. Since when was he so popular among the students?...

“It seems like everyone feels threatened by you,” said Jia Zhenlong with a smile to the fairly outstanding transfer student. “I’ve picked on someone’s nerves, so I wasn’t the popular kind.”

“Ah, so we’re in a pretty similar spot. Can you just cast a Spell and concede? I’ll buy you a drink,” said Mo Fan in a carefree voice.

“...” Jia Zhenlong was left speechless.

Damn it, he initially thought the kid was somewhat special, yet he immediately tried to make peace with him after knowing that his strength was not too weak.

“A drink alone isn’t comparable to the reputation I’ll get for defeating you... If I’m not mistaken, there are lots of people ranked higher than me who want to teach you a lesson. It’s fairly difficult to get the teachers and students to remember your name in this school!” said Jia Zhenlong.

Jia Zhenlong was not too well-received, and after being picked on, he could not obtain the ranking he desired, nor could he acquire the resources he needed. Therefore, this served as a great opportunity for the salted fish to turn over. He had to try his best no matter what!

“Come, show me your true strength. Don’t assume that the Basic Spells are enough to defeat me!” said Jia Zhenlong confidently.

“You’re overestimating yourself.” Mo Fan had no intention of using Intermediate Spells.

Mo Fan first cast a Fire Burst. The fierce flame quickly ignited on his right palm, with a bright red outline.

He had to say that after practicing with the Magic Accelerator, it did improve his casting speed by a significant margin.

He should buy another Magic Accelerator when he had the money, to further improve his casting speed!

Not only should he improve his Basic Spells to be able to cast them instantly, he should focus on improving the casting speed of his Intermediate Spells too! Against someone like Dongfang Ming, who had an innate talent to cast Fire Element at twice the speed of everyone else, if he had not happened to level up his Basic Spell to the fourth tier, he would surely have suffered a grave defeat!
