Versatile Mage

Nelson flushed. He had been slapped in the face in front of so many students. How was he supposed to teach them in the upcoming classes?

He had to make up for it. He no longer bothered using only one Element at a time in this duel, and began using different Domains and abilities.

He just needed to win the duel!

His Wind Element was nullified by his opponent’s Chaos Element. His Lightning Element was useless against his opponent’s Heaven-grade Earth Seed. However, the outcome of the duel was still undecided, since they were both Super Mages with four Elements!

Nelson backed away slightly after coming up with a plan. He was using the spells of other Elements to buy him some time.

His focus was a little worn out after Channeling the Lightning Orb of Needles for such a long period. He could no longer Cast spells that required Star Constellations and above. He needed to catch his breath while his opponent was not attacking him.

Unfortunately for Nelson, Mo Fan was not Zhao Manyan. Mo Fan was not going to just encourage an enemy to keep attacking!

Nelson had gone all out with the Lightning Orb of Needles a moment ago, yet he had suddenly gone easy on the duel. His energy had obviously been depleted.

It was the perfect time for Mo Fan to beat the crap out of Nelson. Mo Fan was still full of energy!

“Ambush of Rock Fish!” Mo Fan yelled while constructing a Star Constellation of the Earth Element.

A ripple appeared under Mo Fan’s feet. The sturdy ground softened suddenly and surged forward in waves.

A fish made of rock, with a mouth that resembled an axe, burst out of the ground. It made a little arc in the air before falling back into the ground, like a normal fish having fun in the sea.

The softened ground suddenly became restless as more fish with strange shapes flew into the air. The ground splashed wildly, like fierce waves were tearing at it!

There were rock fish with mouths of axes, rock sharks with exposed fangs, and enormous rock whales. The fish were leaping across the ground in a huge migration.

Nelson had backed away to the edge of the stage. His face turned pale when he saw the school of rock fish heading toward him.

He could easily defend himself under normal circumstances. He just needed to construct a Star Palace to destroy half of the fish, yet he could not even construct a single Star Constellation in his current state. His head would spin if he forcibly used his magic. How could he not panic when the school of terrifying rock fish was coming at him?

Mo Fan had a Heaven-grade Earth Seed, which was significantly stronger than normal Soul Seeds!

Nelson was at his limit. It was unlikely he could defend himself, so he had no choice but to rely on his magic Equipment.

It was a piece of dark silver Equipment in the shape of a canopy. A helmet enlarged several times over encapsulated him.

“Why is he using a piece of magic Equipment?”

“Is Nelson at his limit? I thought we aren’t allowed to use magic Equipment in a duel?!” the students wondered aloud.

Nelson was clearly aware of the rule. He was cheating if he used his magic Equipment!

Nelson did not mind at all. The witness of the duel, Green, did not mention that magic Equipment was not allowed. Nelson was only temporarily fatigued. As long as his energy recovered, he could easily turn the tables around. Everything was fine as long as he won the duel, but if he lost, he would be too ashamed to teach at the Aorus Sacred Institute!

“Do you think your magic Equipment is going to make a difference?” Mo Fan called out.

Nelson was the typical kind of fool who stuck their head to the tip of a gun.

If he had used defensive Equipment imbued with the Wind, Light, or Plant Elements, he might have managed to defend himself, but his magic Equipment was a piece of Armor!

The first unique ability of Mo Fan’s Heaven-grade Earth Seed was being most effective against rigid defenses!

Sturdy Strike!

Solid objects were as fragile as glass against Mo Fan’s Earth Element, which was as hard as diamond!

Nelson had such tough luck, making the worst decision twice in a row. The duel that was supposed to last a little longer soon came to an end!

“My rocks are indestructible!”

Mo Fan slammed his palms on the ground. A school of rock fish double the size of the previous school emerged from the ground. It felt like the whole dueling ground had turned into a gathering place for the creatures. It was spectacular when they all jumped out of the ground!

Not only did their numbers increase, their speed had increased too! Nelson’s Armor was soon broken into pieces after the fish kept slamming into it.

It took Nelson by surprise. He tried to run away from the creatures with his Wind Element, but there were just too many of them.

He was soon covered in injuries. A fish’s tail whacked him on the chest, knocking him to the edge of the barrier.

Falling out of the barrier meant he had lost the duel!

Nelson stood behind the barrier and hugged his chest. His clothes were ragged.

He could still fight, but this duel was not a fight of life and death. He had already lost the duel, and could only glare at Mo Fan.

The students around the stage cheered!

Not everyone was cheering for Mo Fan’s victory, mainly because most of the students had bet their gold on Nelson. They had thought the outcome was very obvious.

To their surprise, Nelson had lost the duel. Lecturer Mo Yifan from China had emerged victorious!

If the students were to rank the guest lecturers in terms of their reliability, Mo Fan would definitely have come last. He did not have any knowledge of magic theory, and his classes on merging different Elements were only conceptual.

And yet, such an unreliable lecturer turned out to be such a good fighter!

“I’m rich, I’m rich, Lecturer Mo Yifan is the coolest teacher I ever have. I feel like marrying him!” Boleyn cried out in joy.

Boleyn hated Nelson’s guts after what he did to Ritchie, so she bet almost all her gold on Mo Fan for the duel. She was only venting her frustration, yet Mo Fan had won the duel in the end!

The odds were ten to one!

Boleyn had bet a lot of her gold, meaning that she had earned a fortune from the fight!

“As expected of Mo Fan, that made me feel a lot better… Old Zhao, count how much we have earned from the bet, quick!” Mu Bai nudged Zhao Manyan.

“Ugh…” Zhao Manyan was still lost in thought.

Mu Bai adjusted his glasses and frowned when he saw Zhao Manyan’s reaction. “Don’t tell me you placed your bet on Nelson…”
