Chapter 13 Li Ya and the Clumsy Ma Kui
"A mid-level mage?" Yang Zuohe exclaimed in surprise.
Although Mo Fan is at the mid-level strength, the Glazed Phoenix Feather can conceal a portion of his spiritual power, making him only at the level of a beginner mage.
"This isn't intermediate level; it must be a natural dual-elemental talent." Principal Zhu, with his exceptional knowledge, immediately recognized Mo Fan's talent.
"How is this possible?" Mu Zhuoyun was dumbfounded, and all the guests present were astonished.
"Lightning Seal - Wrathful Strike!"
Mo Fan's fingertips seemed to be drawing upon the fury of the heavens. With a sharp downward press of his wrist, a condensed purple lightning bolt, no longer a simple arc of electricity, was unleashed.
More like a purple lightning spear forged from pure destructive will, it tore through the air with a chillingly sharp whistle, precisely piercing Yu Ang, whose body swayed and whose breath was disordered.
The armor on Yu Ang's body was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in front of the pure and violent lightning element, and was easily pierced and disintegrated.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a terrifying moment when energy seeped into one's very bones. The purple lightning spear pierced precisely into Yu Ang's chest—or rather, into his body, completely exposed after his armor's defenses crumbled.
The violent electric current does not merely ravage the body's surface, but rather, like billions of poisoned needles, it instantly pierces through the skin, muscles, and bones, reaching the nerve endings and the depths of the soul.
Yu Ang's scream only managed to escape halfway through his throat before it abruptly stopped, as if an invisible giant hand had gripped his neck.
His muscles spasmed and convulsed violently under the irresistible electric shock, every joint made a muffled "crackling" sound due to the unbearable strain, his eyeballs almost burst out of their sockets due to extreme pain, his vision was completely swallowed by a blinding purple plasma, and his consciousness was crushed to pieces in a fraction of a second.
One moment he was struggling to maintain his posture, the next he completely lost all support. It was as if all the bones in his body had been removed, or as if he had been hit hard on the top of his head by an invisible hammer. He fell straight forward in an extremely twisted and stiff posture.
The heavy body collided with the cold arena floor, producing a dull "bang" that kicked up a fine cloud of dust.
The surface of the armor was covered with spiderweb-like scorch marks, and a few thin purple electric snakes still leaped and hissed unwillingly in the gaps, accompanied by a pungent smell of burnt flesh.
The armored magical artifacts do offer some defensive protection. Although Yu'ang was severely injured, he's still alive. With the help of a healing mage, he can recover.
Yu Ang suffered primarily magical damage, and healing magic is very adept at treating such injuries. In contrast, if physical damage is too severe, even after being treated with healing magic, one still needs to stay in the hospital for a period of time.
"Keep barking, keep barking!" Mo Fan walked up to Yu Ang, who was lying there like a dead dog. "Does having more magical artifacts make you powerful? If you're not strong enough, you'll be useless once the situation gets out of control."
"Trash should stay in the trash can." Mo Fan whispered this in Yu Ang's ear, not too loudly, just to leave Yu Ang with a psychological scar.
"I declare Mo Fan the victor in this duel!" As Deng Kai finished speaking, a lukewarm round of applause broke out in the arena, as many of the guests were on good terms with the Mu family.
After the match, the Magic Association, the Hunter Alliance, and the military jointly blocked the news. A complete blockade was impossible, but at least they slowed down the time it took for Mo Fan's innate dual-elemental abilities to be revealed. Mo Fan still welcomed that bastard Lu Nian.
The controlled demonic forces were a formidable fighting force, allowing Mo Fan's combat power to break through several levels, while Lu Nian himself was naturally torn to pieces and his soul scattered.
After leaving the Mu family manor, Tang Yue gave Mo Fan several books of star charts and then left. The people she sent to assist him arrived a little later; they were a tall, thin man and a burly man.
"You must be Mo Fan?" the tall, thin man among the two asked.
"Yes, it's me." Mo Fan nodded.
"Commander Tang instructed us to follow your instructions in this operation. Let me introduce myself: Li Ya, Level 5 Judge, Intermediate Level 2 in Dual Elemental Skills, specializing in Ice and secondary in Shadow."
"My name is Ma Kui, a Level 5 Judge, a mid-level dual-elemental expert, specializing in fire and secondary in light."
After becoming a full-fledged probationary judge, one becomes a Level 5 judge. Level 5 judges can be promoted to Level 1 judges, and above Level 1 judges is the deputy presiding judge.
The transition from a Level 1 Judge to a Deputy Judge is a significant hurdle. Not only must one's strength reach the level of a Super-Rank or High-Rank Perfection Judge, but one must also have sufficient merit. For a Deputy Judge to become a Full Judge, one needs to make further efforts in the Super-Rank realm.
The required strength varies depending on the region, but you must at least be far superior to a high-level Grand Perfection expert, otherwise no one will respect you as the presiding judge.
There are only so many regions in the country, and the number of positions is limited. There are quite a few mages who can meet the requirements of the chief judge, and the problem of too many monks and too few positions needs to be solved. At this time, you can be promoted to the level of judge.
The chief judge and deputy chief judge are at the same level, while the chief judge and chief judge are at the same level. The former does not have a fixed jurisdiction, but is more free and can travel around, so naturally there are fewer restrictions.
Many judges who dislike being restricted and prefer freedom choose this path for advancement. The advantage of judges is that they have less freedom and fewer restrictions, but the disadvantage is that they can only make a little extra money during missions.
As the highest law enforcement official in a jurisdiction, the presiding judge has a large number of judges under him, whose influence is complex and diverse. Everyone knows how much money can be made from them; after all, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
"Hello, hello!" Mo Fan shook hands with the two in a friendly manner.
"My name is Mo Fan, I'm an intern judge, beginner level, majoring in lightning and fire magic." Mo Fan was neither humble nor arrogant, but there was a hint of humility in his tone. At present, his apparent strength was not as good as these two.
These two are reliable newcomers recruited by Tang Yue's faction. They haven't yet joined any faction. With Mo Fan's talent, he'll definitely become a big faction in the future. This is sending him two subordinates. After all, the world is a place where big factions are nested within small factions.
"Brother, you're born with two special abilities; your future is limitless," the two echoed.
"Excuse me, do you have any spirit seeds?" Mo Fan asked.
"No, we're both from commoner families. Reaching the mid-level of dual-elemental cultivation is already quite an achievement. As for the spirit seed, it will probably take two years to accumulate," Li Ya replied, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.
"Don't worry, you two. I just wanted to get a feel for your strength. I didn't mean anything by it. You'll see what kind of person I am in the future," Mo Fan added.
"We understand."
"I'll be going into seclusion for a few days. I expect the Black Vatican will make a move in the next few days. Wait for me at the back of Tianlan Magic High School. I'll meet up with you as soon as I come out."
