Mo Fan straightened himself and slowly walked over to the Japanese team.

He could hear Zu Jiming’s grumbling behind, obviously complaining how Mo Fan, a mere substitute, was stealing the show.

Since Ai Jiangtu had decided who their representatives were, the others basically could not say anything. Ai Jiangtu was more like an advisor on their team. He had already displayed his strength when he fought the Scarlet Soaring Demon. He was able to take on the Commander-level creature by himself, and even inflicted serious damage to the creature. As such, the team basically had no objection regarding the things he had decided.

If he had decided to let Mo Fan fight the duel, Mo Fan would be the one fighting the duel. Most importantly, everyone was aware of Mo Fan’s fighting capacity, too. If Gong Yu managed to win his duel, it was highly unlikely that Mo Fan was going to lose his.

“What are you looking at? Thinking you’re so special to sit in a different row behind the others? Mochizuki Chihaya, you will be my opponent. The old man with a mustache stopped me from teaching you a lesson last time, but we’re going to settle it now in the duel. You can’t run away this time!” said Mo Fan, pointing at Mochizuki Chihaya.

Mochizuki Chihaya frowned. She already had a grudge against this kid who dared to talk disrespectfully to her!

Mochizuki Ken, the Japanese commander, and Fujikata Tegami seemed slightly surprised. In the end, Mochizuki Ken smiled and said, “Mo Fan, I suggest you choose someone else.”

“Why is that? Do you think it will be embarrassing if I, a substitute, managed to defeat your team captain?” Mo Fan felt unpleasant.

“We didn’t mean that…”

“I hated her the most among the students on your team. You interfered with the fight in the morning, are you seriously going to interfere in the duel again? She is the one. Don’t tell me only our captain is allowed to challenge your captain? If that’s the case, I’m the captain of our team. That tanned face is only a decoration. I’ve already defeated him,” said Mo Fan.

How dare they look down on him just because he’s a substitute? What was wrong with being a substitute? He would still beat the crap out of all their students!

Mo Fan was even angrier when he saw the Japanese students laughing at him.

“What right do you have to challenge Miss Chihaya? Don’t you think that’s displaying your insignificant skill in front of an expert?” mocked a Japanese student with spiky hair.

“Is he seriously picking Sister Chihaya out of everyone else? He’s going to regret it,” said Koike Shoko with a giggle.

The other students were laughing too. Their disdainful laughter was directed at Mo Fan.

“You can choose whoever you want among the nine of them. Mochizuki Chihaya isn’t among them,” said Mochizuki Ken.

“I have no interest in the others. She’s the one!” said Mo Fan, pointing at Mochizuki Chihaya.

Mochizuki Ken was about to say something when Fujikata Tegami smirked and said to Mo Fan, “Are you sure you want to choose her as your opponent? I’m telling you…”

“Enough with the nonsense, she is the one. I don’t care who she is, but she has been an eyesore for too long. Tell her to come fight me now!” Mo Fan demanded impatiently.

These Japanese were fawning upon her just because her strength was slightly stronger than theirs. Judging from the way the students were treating her respectfully, she must be quite reputable on the team. Otherwise, she would not be chosen as the captain.

It was more exciting to challenge their captain!

“Advisor, if he insists on picking me, I don’t mind having a go. However, if you really want to fight me, you better choose an extra candidate first,” Mochizuki Chihaya slowly rose to her feet.

“That’s unnecessary. There’s no way the three of us will lose,” said Mo Fan.

“You have to choose another candidate if you insist on fighting Mochizuki Chihaya. Otherwise, the others will say that we’re bullying the Chinese team if words spread out,” insisted Fujikata Tegami.

Mochizuki Ken was about to say something, but Fujikata Tegami stopped him.

“You guys are really confident in this woman who only has an attractive facade. Ai Jiangtu, choose one more person,” Mo Fan was too lazy to argue with them.

“I’ll be the fourth candidate,” said Ai Jiangtu casually.

“Alright, we’ve picked one more. Hurry up and come here, so I can beat the crap out of you quicker!” taunted Mo Fan.

Mochizuki Chihaya left her seat and walked up to the stage. She seemed expressionless, yet she was already cracking with laughter inside.

This impolite, reckless kid actually had the guts to fight her. His action was the perfect example of how to get himself killed. Anyway, it was time for her to teach him a lesson and vent her grudge. These Chinese were too cocky!

The witnesses to the duels were chatting among themselves in Japanese. Mo Fan could not understand a word, yet it was obvious that they were all mocking him.

“Is this guy an idiot? He really chose Miss Chihaya as his opponent.”

“HAHAHA, I can’t wait to see him begging Miss Chihaya for mercy later. No one in our team even has the slightest chance against Miss Chihaya.”

“Are we going too far?”

“Who cares, he did choose his own opponent. Who else can he blame apart from himself? He’s the one that insisted on having Miss Chihaya as his opponent… just enjoy the show.”

The students were discussing among themselves in Japanese. They were clearly extremely confident in Mochizuki Chihaya, and were amused by Mo Fan’s selection.

“I bet he won’t last for more than five minutes!” the man with spiky hair burst out laughing.

“Captain, you’re overestimating the kid. Three minutes, At most three minutes… oh, Miss Chihaya was going easy on us during training. If she really wants to teach him a lesson, maybe she will defeat him with a single move!” said a student with runes on his forehead.

“Let’s enjoy the show.”

“Yeah!”

Mo Fan observed the weird reactions from the Japanese, and heard their mumblings, which were obviously talking about how there was no way he would win the duel.

“Retards!” Mo Fan cursed, before fixing his gaze on Mochizuki Chihaya. From everyone’s reactions, he could easily tell that this Mochizuki Chihaya was a worthy opponent.

Besides, if she wasn’t strong, how could she unleash such a formidable aura at the entrance of the West Guardian Tower during the day?

Mo Fan knew the woman was powerful, but would it even make any difference? Since when was he afraid of anyone? He would not believe he was unable to defeat the woman with the electrifying sensation from the lightning on his left hand, and the burning touch from the blazing flames on his right.

“You’re the dumbest and most ridiculous person I’ve ever met,” Mochizuki Chihaya gave Mo Fan a hostile look with a superior grin, as if she was looking at a clown.

“Go ask around in China and see if there’s anyone who hasn’t heard of my name, Mo Fan. Against someone like you, I can even give you an advantage by using one less Element,” Mo Fan acted like a pretentious prick like his usual self.

“One less Element?” Mochizuki Chihaya burst out laughing. She could not even stand straight.

Her laughter showed off her attractive body, giving every man a strong desire to pounce on her and tear the kimono that could not hide her charms apart.

However, the thorns on this proud Japanese rose were extremely poisonous!
