"Same trick again? Do you really think I did not prepare anything before coming here?" said Jia Zhenlong.

Mo Fan was fast at casting his Basic Spell. He had already hurled a Fire Burst in his opponent's direction in the midst of their conversation. Jia Zhenlong did not attempt to dodge it. He stood at the same spot, slowly drawing his Star Pattern.

As the Fire Burst approached Jia Zhenlong, it was blocked in front of him by an invisible force!

The Fire Burst exploded after going out of Mo Fan's control. The Fire Burst, which was five times stronger than normal, had almost had the power of half an Intermediate Spell. However, when it collided with the invisible wall, it was as if the fierce flames were being sucked away, and they quickly disappeared briefly after the explosion.

The rest of the force turned into a gust sweeping around Jia Zhenlong. It blew his hair up, revealing his confident look.

"I told you that trick wouldn't work against me! Have a taste of my Magic! Giant Shadow Spike: Twins!" Jia Zhenlong said as the Shadow Element of the Shadow Element appeared under his feet.

A spike engulfed in the Shadow Element aura reached out from his chest. It sprang forward rapidly following his swipe, and disappeared in the air.

Jia Zhenlong was still wearing a smile. The Shadow Element was rare to begin with, and most people were unfamiliar with the Shadow Element. He had only ranked up the Giant Shadow Spike to the second-tier recently.

A first-tier Giant Shadow Spike only locked down the target's body. On the other hand, if the Giant Shadow Spike: Twins landed on the target, not only would it stop the target from moving, it would also seal its mind, disturbing the alignment of Stars.

If he could stop his opponent from casting Basic Spells, Mo Fan would no longer pose any threat to him.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan was slightly startled when he saw the Shadow Element Spell.

"So his secondary Element is the Shadow Element. He's strange enrolling into the Fire School instead of the Shadow Element. Anyone else would have fallen for his trick, but unfortunately..." Mo Fan's lips curled up.

Mo Fan was a Shadow Element expert himself. Although his Shadow Element was a rank lower than Jia Zhenlong, he was extremely familiar with the Giant Shadow Spike.

As soon as his opponent completed the Star Pattern, Mo Fan ignited the flames again. The ground close to him was set aflame, lighting up the place brightly.

The fierce flames spread wildly with Mo Fan at the center. The illumination quickly revealed the position of the Giant Shadow Spike.

The strength of the Giant Shadow Spike was its stealth. It might seem to be flying in a certain direction at the beginning, but it might suddenly appear from the back. The key to dodging the relatively high control Spell was to locate it first.

Mo Fan could easily locate the Giant Shadow Spike with the light from the flames. When Mo Fan saw a spike flying toward him in the midst of the flames, he immediately reacted and leapt backward, dodging the Giant Shadow Spike with ease.

"Damn it, how is this guy so experienced!?" Jia Zhenlong cursed furiously.

The key to securing the victory was his Shadow Element. To his surprise, his opponent was extremely familiar with the Shadow Element.

As the spell missed, Jia Zhenlong simply engulfed himself in flames. A fiery Star Pattern was drawn rapidly under his feet. With the curtain of water defending in front of him, he was not worried that his opponent could interrupt his casting.

"Coral Flame: Fiery Fist: Groundbreak!" Jia Zhenlong finished casting his Intermediate Spell.

He had gone all out this time. Not only was he using the flames from his Soul Seed, he was also casting the second-tier Fiery Fist!

His right fist was engulfed in a purple-red ring of flames. Following his roar, the energy from his fist struck at the ground fiercely.

The dueling ground started to heat up as if lava had just sprung up underneath it!

A pillar of flame jetted out where Mo Fan was standing at. The Spirit-grade flames that Jia Zhenlong had control over were burning like a coral reef. The flames of the Groundbreak were remarkably spectacular as they burst out from the ground!

Mo Fan did not underestimate the Spell. His legs were already emitting a crimson glow, a sign that he had activated the Blood Tabi!

His legs were covered in armor the color of blood. Mo Fan leapt into the air with the strength of the Blood Beast.

The power of the Groundbreak reached its peak as its flames almost devoured Mo Fan's figure. He was scorched by the fire in the air. Fortunately, he was partially immune to Fire Element damage because of his Rose Flame. Otherwise, the fire sparks sprinkling on him would be enough to burn his skin!

After dodging the overwhelming Groundbreak, Mo Fan landed on the ground. Due to the strengthening of the Blood Tabi, the ground where he landed sank slightly. As he did, he lowered his stance, like a leopard ready to pounce at its prey.

Mo Fan sprang forward rapidly and approached Jia Zhenlong's position swiftly.

He soon discovered a completely transparent water curtain in front of Jia Zhenlong, which was blocking his Fire Burst.

"So that's all you have!" Mo Fan smiled. Drawing closer to the water curtain, he leapt over it and found himself above Jia Zhenlong.

His legs, strengthened with the power of the Blood Beast, stomped the ground after he plunged down from a height of ten meters. The grassy ground was blasted away by the impact, knocking Jia Zhenlong into the air!

Mo Fan had shown mercy by stomping the ground beside Jia Zhenlong. If he had stomped his head, he would have been crushed into minced meat by the force instantly!

Jia Zhenlong had overestimated himself. As a Shadow Element user, he chose not to hug the shadows, thus he did not even have a chance of casting Fleeing Shadow. If someone like him was fighting against demon beasts in the wild, he had only survived until now because of pure luck!

Jia Zhenlong flew out of the dueling ground under the crowd's gaze. When he landed on the ground and spat out mouthfuls of blood, everyone could feel a thud in their chests!

In the end, they still could not even force him to cast an Intermediate Spell.

"Another...another loss..." said Bai Mei with a smile. However, when he saw Wei Rong's expression, he quickly withdrew his smile.

"Such a tra..." Wei Rong was about to curse when he recalled that the term was rather sensitive. He quickly halted his tongue and waved his hand, urging Bai Mei to heal the loser. He did not bother looking at him!

-Damn it, can anyone please defeat this kid?-
