Versatile Mage

Nelson was about to lose his mind. Was he fighting a thousand-year-old turtle?

There were two kinds of Destructive Mages: the explosive kind and the endurance kind. Nelson’s Lightning Needle Orbs were more of the latter kind. Only a few people in America could defend against it. Many experienced defensive Mages chose to avoid him instead.

Meanwhile, the young Chinese lecturer was not even famous internationally; Nelson had never heard of him before. How did he manage to defend himself from the lightning needles?

“Humph, my Lightning has obviously beaten your Earth Element. It’s not that impressive for you to defend yourself with the Chaos Element!” Nelson snarled.

Nelson assumed Mo Fan was only unharmed because he was using the Chaos Element!

The Chaos Element was too unpredictable. An Advanced Chaos Mage might even be able to make a Super Spell vanish like a magic trick. The Chaos Element was insanely useful if the Mage was good at it!

“I won’t cheat if I’m planning to teach you a lesson. If you argue we won’t be able to decide who’s better because of my Chaos Element, I won’t use it. You shouldn’t judge me just because you are narrow-minded yourself,” Mo Fan chided him right back.

“There’s no way your Domain of the Earth Element can stop my Lightning Needles if you aren’t using the Chaos Element. Even the defense of a Super Mage doesn’t stand a chance against my Lightning! Do you think I’m that stupid?” Nelson argued angrily.

Nelson was very confident in his Lightning Magic. He strongly believed Mo Fan had used the Chaos Element. Otherwise, how did the energy of his Star Dust replenish so endlessly? Wasn’t that one of the Chaos Element abilities?

Nelson was not clueless about the capabilities of the Chaos Element. He knew a powerful Chaos Mage could recover a destroyed object. He was not sure about its principles, but he knew it was something that could be done!

“Then I’m afraid you are an idiot,” Mo Fan responded simply.

Nelson was brimming with anger. He turned to Chief Green instead of continuing on with the duel, “Chief, since you are the witness of the duel, can you please say something. Otherwise, the students may think I’m not as strong as they think.”

“Lecturer Nelson, are you sure about that?” Chief Green asked.

“Yes, there’s no way my Lightning can’t break down his petty defense!” Nelson declared.

“Lecturer Nelson, I’ve been watching the fight closely. I think you have misunderstood Lecturer Mo Yifan. He wasn’t using the Chaos Element.”

“Then he must be relying on other Equipment!” Nelson argued.

“That’s not the case, either,” Chief Green stated.

“Impossible, I didn’t notice him expending his energy either! How is it possible for the barrier to recover continuously on its own? I hope Chief Green isn’t being biased in front of so many students and teachers!” Nelson exclaimed.

Chief Green frowned. Were all Americans like him? Would he only admit he was wrong after smashing his head into the wall? He already answered the man’s question, yet he insisted on getting to the bottom of it. Did he not realize he could have saved himself some face?

Chief Green had no choice if Nelson did not want to save himself some face. He did not want the students to think he was not a fair witness.

“Lecturer Nelson, you shouldn’t just focus on your own lightning. Your Lightning Thorn is indeed one of the strongest Soul-grade Seeds I’ve seen, but did you ever consider that your opponent’s Earth Seed is stronger than yours?” Chief Green went on while fondling his beard.

Nelson did not understand what he meant. As a matter of fact, the students had no clue what he was saying, either.

“You should observe the Earth particles around Lecturer Mo Yifan closely. I believe you can discern the truth right away,” Chief Green added.

Nelson stared at Mo Fan, and even used his senses to observe the magic particles closely. He was so shocked that he took a step back after he saw how closely packed the magic particles were.

“A…a Heaven-grade Seed!”

“It’s a Heaven-grade Earth Seed!”

The pride that Nelson had so strongly protected crumbled instantly. He never thought the young Mage he was fighting would own an extremely rare Heaven-grade Seed.

The difference between a Spirit-grade Seed and a Soul-grade Seed was already remarkable, let alone the difference between a Soul-grade Seed and a Heaven-grade Seed!

Some resourceful Advanced Mages still had a chance to secure a Soul-grade Seed to strengthen their Elements, but only a few lucky Super Mages would own a Heaven-grade Seed!

To think that he was fighting an Earth Mage with a Heaven-grade Seed!

The Earth Element was naturally dominant against the Lightning Element. Nelson thought his Lightning Element was unstoppable, so he did not treat his opponent’s Soul-grade Seed seriously. However, if his opponent had a Heaven-grade Seed… In simpler words, the Heaven-grade Earth Seed was like a king before a Soul-grade Lightning Seed!

“Is it really a Heaven-grade Seed?”

“Lecturer Mo Yifan has a Heaven-grade Earth Seed? No wonder Lecturer Nelson’s Lightning Seed couldn’t hurt him at all.”

“I didn’t expect a lecturer on magic theory to be so strong. One can never judge a book by its cover!”

The students completely lost their minds.

Not many people knew about Heaven-grade Seeds, since the Magic Association had yet to publish the new classification. Everyone thought Soul-grade Seeds were already the ceiling.

The students had only learned about Heaven-grade Seeds a short time ago, let alone seen one in action.

They had finally seen a Mage with a Heaven-grade Seed, and it was during an epic duel between two guest lecturers!

“It seems like Lecturer Nelson has messed with the wrong guy… Speaking of which, Yesemia, why didn’t you mention there’s a strong teacher from China to me before?” the Dean inquired.

“Uh… I think…I think he prefers to keep a low profile,” Yesemia answered awkwardly.

“That means I should thank Lecturer Nelson for punishing his student inappropriately. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had a chance to enjoy such a spectacular duel,” the Dean murmured.

“Yes,” Yesemia nodded quickly, agreeing with everything her superior said.

“Miss Yesemia, you didn’t really get what I mean. Ritchie is only a student, after all. If Lecturer Mo Yifan, who prefers to keep a low profile, has interfered with the public class because of him, it means the student is in very bad shape. Shouldn’t you do something about it?” the Dean went on with a gentle smile.

Yesemia was afraid of the Dean’s gentle smile. She nodded hastily and stated firmly, “I’ll look into it right away!”
