The crowd watching the duel burst out laughing, not sure if they were laughing at Zheng Jiahui who could not even cast a Basic Spell due to his mental disorder, or Mo Fan, who was so ignorant that he assumed that he could take two hundred challengers on .

Wei Rong had a dark expression . This ruthless student dared call him a gorilla in front of the crowd!

Teacher Bai Mei tried to hold back his laughter . They did address him using that nickname among the teachers . Sometimes, the students would also call him that behind his back, yet no one had ever called him that in front of the public . This transfer student was truly fearless!

On a side note, Bai Mei was rather intrigued by Mo Fan’s decision . Leaving his ruthless remarks at times, his determination to face the two hundred challengers was very impressive . He could not wait to see how he was going to last that long against so many challengers .

“Next ranked six hundred and seventy-ninth, Lin Gui!” Wei Rong called the next challenger with a furious roar .

He was staring at Mo Fan . Either way, he had to teach this arrogant kid how to control his temper . Otherwise, how could he possibly display his authority as the Elemental Director of the Fire School?

A rough-looking, tanned male student slowly approached the stage .

He glanced at Mo Fan with an expressionless face, “I do admit that as a transfer student, your strength is worthy to be placed in the top three hundredth . That being said, the ranking doesn’t mean much . The duels and real battles were different, too . ”

“Damn it, I don’t need you to teach me how to fight!” Mo Fan’s right hand immediately ignited a fierce flame and hurled it forward . The Fire Burst drew a clear arc across the sky and landed on the student called Lin Gui .

Lin Gui had the same look on his face, but his eyes were filled with a hint of disdain… He did not even need to defend himself purposely from the Basic Spell-!

When he saw the color of the flame that was flying in his direction, and sensed its abnormal temperature, his eyes filled with terror .

Just as he realized he had misjudged the threat, the Rose Flame: Fire Burst exploded . The scorching flames lunged at him, and the impact blew him a far distance away .

Lin Gui, who was acting as if he were giving sound advice a moment ago, had turned into half a burning man, falling to the ground at the edge of the stage!

Lin Gui tried to rise to his feet, but his whole body was covered in burning bruises . He glanced at them in pain and disbelief .

“What just happened?” Someone among the spectators yelled . Many people had wide eyes, their gazes fixed onto the seriously injured Li Gui .

“Did he just defeat him with a single attack, and it was only a Basic Spell?” exclaimed Huang Xingli .

Beside her, Ding Yuming’s eyes slightly glistened . When she saw Huang Xingli looking at her as if she were waiting for an answer, she explained, “He must be using some Spirit-grade flame . Its power was a lot stronger than an ordinary Fire Burst . Lin Gui underestimated his opponent’s strength . He didn’t even set up any defense . ”

“So Sister Yuming also misjudged the situation? The Fire Burst wouldn’t be this powerful, even if it was strengthened by a Spirit-grade flame,” spoke up Liu Qian .

Huang Xingli turned around . Her tomboy attitude instantly disappeared, as her eyes were filled with embarrassment, and a hint of surprise .

She seemed to realize that her reaction was fairly embarrassing, thus she quickly turned back and nudged Ding Yuming with her elbow, blurting out excitedly, “It’s Liu Qian . It’s my first time watching him from such a close distance . He’s so handsome!”

Ding Yuming was surprisingly calm . She turned around and cast a glance at Liu Qian as she asked, “Are you saying that…”

“Lin Gui was not foolish enough to not set up ANY defense . However, the armor he was wearing had no chance of resisting the power of a Fire Burst that was four times stronger than an ordinary Fire Burst . His Fire Burst has ranked up to the fourth-tier . It doubled the power of the Fire Burst, and together with his Soul Seed…” Liu Qian said with a smile .

Ding Yuming quickly came to a realization . Her eyes were looking at Mo Fan with great astonishment .

In the entire Fire School, those who had a Spirit-grade flame would be ranked close to the front . These better flames basically could not be beaten by someone using an ordinary flame .

However, in order to acquire a Spirit-grade flame from the school, one would need at least a year’s worth of effort, not to mention that only those ranked high up would be given two pieces of a Fire Element Soul Seed .

As such, a Spirit-grade flame was considered rather extravagant to the students of the Fire School . Meanwhile, it was said that to cast a fourth-tier Basic Spell, one would need to strengthen all the seven Stars, and each star needing Soul Essences would cost around five million RMB .

“To rank up to the fourth-tier Fire Burst, he would need thirty-five million RMB . The money alone could get you two Soul Seeds . I never thought someone would actually spend their money like that!” said Liu Qian .

Ding Yuming nodded slightly . Regardless of one’s background, she had never heard any disciple with a background formidable enough to have achieved the fourth-tier of their Basic Spells .

—

“What are you waiting for, call the next one!” Mo Fan yelled at Wei Rong .

Wei Rong collected his thoughts and called the next person’s name with a long face .

Where exactly did this kid come from? Even he, an Advanced Magician, was not willing to rank up his Basic Spell to the fourth-tier, but an Intermediate Magician was already so extravagant…

“Next please…”

Soon, the next challenger walked to the stage . The person was ranked fairly low, over nine hundred . It was obvious that he had followed the crowd to sign up for the challenge, too . He was not too strong, so he had no chance against Mo Fan’s special Fire Burst .

“Next please…”

The next one was a student ranked four hundred and twenty-seventh, a female student whose primary Element was Fire, with the Earth Element as her secondary Element .

The defensive abilities of the Earth Element helped her to dodge Mo Fan’s attacks at the start . Yet, to preserve his limited energy, Mo Fan chose not to use his Intermediate Magic . He realized that his opponent would be quite troublesome to deal with . After a slight hesitation, his left hand summoned the Lightning Mark when his opponent slightly lost her focus .

The Lightning Mark struck suddenly as the female student was trying to dodge the unexpected Fire Burst . It quickly paralyzed her .

She could no longer move freely . Mo Fan immediately blasted her down from the stage with a close-range Fire Burst . She did have defensive equipment, yet the blast of the Fire Burst was still enough to knock her flying .

The female student landed with disheveled hair . She stared at Mo Fan in disbelief .

Mo Fan was quite cunning when he cast the Lightning Strike . He utilized the explosions of the flames to pull a surprise attack on her .

“Next!” snapped Mo Fan furiously, whose anger had yet to disappear .
