Versatile Mage

The Heavenly Gate stood in front of Mo Fan, and Zu Xiangtian’s crushing rays struggled to penetrate and destroy it.

Zu Xiangtian stomped over a dozen times, but finally realized he could not deal any damage to Mo Fan’s Circle of Crystal Teeth: Heavenly Gate. His face darkened.

The scum who had sold him Mo Fan’s information should really be sent to the worst prison in the world and be raped by the prisoners for ten days and nights straight! How dare he tell him Mo Fan’s Earth Element was like a little kid’s playdough?

Was Mo Fan’s Earth Magic as weak as playdough? A Heavenly Gate was not something a normal Earth Mage could build!

There was one more thing: who the heck told him Mo Fan was a pure destructive Mage who did not really have any defensive spells? Did he just pull the Heavenly Gate that even a Kunlun Stomp failed to destroy out of a magic hat?!

If Zu Xiangtian had known Mo Fan had stolen his energy with the Circle of Crystal Teeth, he would have lost his mind even further!

—

“Crap, since when is Mo Fan so good? Is he going to steal my job too?” Zhao Manyan’s eyes almost popped out when he saw Mo Fan’s defensive spell.

Mo Fan was known for his lack of defenses. He would have died on numerous occasions if Zhao Manyan was not around!

“I thought Mo Fan was never going to learn any defensive spells, but the one he just used was ridiculous. I’m sure it can withstand a few Super Spells!”

The members of the national team were in disbelief too.

Was that man really Mo Fan?

Mo Fan had so many Elements, so it was not strange for him to have a few defensive spells. However, the Circle of Crystal Teeth’s resilience was simply too crazy. It was like the desperate move of someone who had been focusing on defense for a thousand years. It was not something they had ever expected to see from Mo Fan!

—

“I think I overdid it, I should have preserved some of the shards!” Mo Fan exclaimed when he saw the Heavenly Gate.

The Circle of Crystal Teeth was a lot stronger than he had imagined. Judging from its defense, he had only needed half of the shards to defend himself from Zu Xiangtian’s attack!

“It’s only the beginning. It’s too early to be proud of yourself!” Zu Xiangtian started to press forward again.

His whole body was engulfed in the yellow light, and a yellow halo was circling him. As he drew closer, the people felt like a huge storm was coming. They felt minuscule, like they were facing something enormous.

Zu Xiangtian picked up his pace, and began to sprint. His strength was equivalent to an ancient deity, and his whole body was covered in a yellow Aura.

He arrived before Mo Fan instantly and swept his claws in a crossing pattern.

The space Mo Fan was standing on shuddered. Mo Fan disappeared before the claws touched him, leaving behind tiny silver particles which swiftly dissolved in the air.

“Blink? I know where your exit is!”

Zu Xiangtian moved rapidly. He was currently able to catch up with the speed of the Space Element!

He swung his claws as soon as Mo Fan came out on the other side of the spatial tunnel.

Yellow windblades swept at Mo Fan’s location wildly. Mo Fan did not dare dodge them with the Fleeing Shadow. He would only sustain greater injuries if he used the Fleeing Shadow while being targeted by clustered attacks.

Mo Fan felt like it would be a waste to use the Space of Darkness again. Zu Xiangtian should have some destructive and terrifying moves after being Possessed by the Kunlun Inferior Ancestral Tiger. Mo Fan felt like he should keep it as a trump card.

“Space Rhythm: Will of Steel!”

Mo Fan did not move, but his silver eyes began to glow.

He was able to gather his Will and turn it into a powerful force to attack his enemy. Similarly, he could also gather the Will around himself like steel armor. Mo Fan had practiced it whenever he was training with Mu Ningxue. It was not quite able to block Mu Ningxue’s attack at her full strength.

To Mo Fan’s surprise, the windblades were fiercer than he had thought, and the Will of Steel was quickly torn apart. The scything winds were close to slicing into him!

Full attention!

The Space Element was a very unique Element. Its level was determined by the limit of the Mage’s mental strength, so it was not a stable Element.

A person with an indestructible Will might even awaken a power that was beyond their level! The bolder a person was, the better the product was!

Mo Fan enjoyed playing with his limits. It did not matter if the Will of Steel was torn apart. As long as he believed he could stop the attack, his Will would do it for him!

Forget the pain, don’t be afraid of your opponent, shun the fear, and focus solely on yourself; you will be impervious to sword or spear, and well-fortified!

Trust your will and you will have eternal life. Who cared if he was against the Kunlun Ancestral Tiger? No one could possibly crush his Will of Steel!

The stronger the Will, the brighter the silver light. Mo Fan was already encapsulated by a dazzling silver light. The silver strings tied together without a single gap were Mo Fan’s Will!

It was subjective to describe something as strong or weak. A Space Mage’s Will might skyrocket when they were provoked or their lives were in danger. In Mo Fan’s case, his Will had grown stronger because of his confidence. More of his Will, manifesting as silvery silken strands were sparkling in his Spiritual World before merging with the armor that was being torn apart.

The more Will combined with the armor, the sturdier it was. Zu Xiangtian was too naive if he thought Mo Fan’s other Elements were not a threat!

“I don’t need any defensive Equipment. I only need my righteous aura!” Mo Fan’s Will only grew stronger over time. The jacket he had bought from a stall on the street was already shredded to pieces, yet he retained his confident appearance!

The silver light flared again as the number of silver strings doubled. The Armor of Will that was being torn apart recovered instantly. It even had an extra, even thicker layer!

Zu Xiangtian’s attacks were fierce. He kept moving around Mo Fan rapidly and attacking from different angles, trying to abuse Mo Fan’s blind spots and find a weakness. The scything yellow windblades gradually grew larger, growing from scything walls with a diameter of around thirty meters to huge whirling tornadoes with diameters over a hundred meters wide!

However, the silver light engulfing Mo Fan did not dissipate, even as the winds grew stronger!

—

“Are they using the long-lost martial arts, the Golden Bell and the Nine Yin Skeleton Claws?!”

“You’ve been reading too many Wuxia novels!”

“Everyone back away a little, the winds might penetrate the Barrier and hurt you. Please be more careful if you aren’t an Advanced Mage. The insurance companies don’t cover death caused by a magic duel!” a worker in charge of maintaining order at the scene warned everyone.

“I’m not a Mage…”

“So you should stay further away!”
