"Very well, you've done well! Both Croatia's Magic Association and government have expressed their gratitude, and the Parthenon Temple no longer needs to pay any extra tax for the Black Rhododendrons from Croatia!" The Hall Mother was absolutely radiant in the hall, and her gaze at Xinxia was totally different from before .

The Black Rhododendrons had always been a material that the Parthenon Temple desperately needed, and Croatia would usually charge them an expensive fee . However, Croatia happened to have the best Black Rhododendrons . As such, the sum spent on acquiring the Black Rhododendrons each year was absolutely shocking . To the Hall Mother's surprise, the government of Croatia was willing to exempt them from paying the taxes as a reward for resolving the plague, saving lots of money for the Parthenon Temple .

It had only been possible because of the new candidate that was being picked on, Ye Xinxia . Not only did she resolve the plague, she also earned quite a reputation in Croatia!

The Parthenon Temple had eight Candidates, but now, with Xinxia officially becoming a Candidate, there were nine in total . The other Candidates were trying to earn their reputation at other places, and the competition would decide the person that would become the Goddess in the end . Once a Candidate had earned the support of the whole world, she would not be far from being respected and loved by the world, like establishing a new faith as a religion!

That being said, the candidates had merely earned the support of the people . Their trust in the Candidates was not deep-rooted yet .

Xinxia was basically a nobody in the Hall of the Goddess, but somehow, she had suddenly received support from a few places, including those that had fought the war against the undead in Egypt, and those that were involved in the plague in Croatia…

She had turned out to be the key person in resolving both incidents, and now, her identity as a candidate had been made public, too . Both the people of Egypt and Croatia immediately supported the decision of making Xinxia the ninth Candidate!

Even though the support was nothing compared to the influence that the other Candidates had, Xinxia was starting to establish her own influence .

"I believe everyone now agrees with my decision of making her a Candidate?" the Hall Mother asked as she looked at the members in the hall .

"Her contributions are still far from enough to make her a Candidate . The two countries are only supporting her by blindly following the crowd," Great Muse Mellaura immediately disagreed .

"It's fairly difficult for a Servant that has recently been promoted to let the people remember her name and earn more respect for our Parthenon Temple…"

Xinxia looked at the Hall Mother . Somehow, she had a strange feeling .

Despite her outstanding performance of achieving something that many Servants would never be able to achieve, the Hall Mother was still going overboard with how impressed she was . Wasn't the Hall Mother supposed to focus more on the Candidates and the Muses? What she did was actually not as impressive compared to some other achievements that the Candidates had…

Xinxia was not really passionate about climbing the ranks in the Parthenon Temple, unlike the other Servants . However, the Hall Mother kept on showing her intention to promote Xinxia . In addition to her astonishment, Xinxia was also feeling uncomfortable .

First, Xinxia did not know the Hall Mother's true intentions . Second, Xinxia was a Psychic Mage, thus she could easily sense the hostility from the gazes of the members in the Hall of the Goddess!

Venice, the City of Canals…

After returning to the city, Mo Fan realized that the crowd on the streets had grown bigger . Some of the narrower streets and canals were fully jammed . It felt like water transportation in Venice would suffer a breakdown if more people came to Venice!

"Brother Fan, can you really run around like that when you're representing the country in a tournament?" Zhang Xiaohou was utterly impressed by Mo Fan . The other national representatives were nervously preparing themselves for the upcoming matches, and were afraid to go anywhere else, worried they would not be able to perform well in the tournament . Meanwhile, Mo Fan was insane enough to simply pay a visit to Croatia!

"Of course I'll be here when there's an important match," Mo Fan said .

"I believe our country is competing this afternoon, let me see who our opponent is…" Zhang Xiaohou took his phone out .

Lingling replied straight away, "It's Spain . "

"Spain?" For some reason, Mo Fan was having a bad feeling .

"Is there any problem? Are they a strong opponent?" Zhang Xiaohou asked .

"That goes without saying . I think they were ranked thirteenth in the last tournament," Lingling said .

Mo Fan turned and looked at Lingling with her little ponytail and asked, "How old were you when the last tournament took place? How did you even remember a detail like that?"

Lingling suddenly fell silent, as if she had remembered something unpleasant .

Mo Fan had no idea what he said wrong, thus he was not too bothered by it . He told Lingling and Zhang Xiaohou, "I'll bring you two to the resting zone, and you can watch the match from there . You won't be able to get a good spot if you try to buy a ticket now!"

Coming back to Venice, they were running short on time, and it was quite a nuisance trying to get to their destination due to the traffic congestion . Zhang Xiaohou was subconsciously worried that Mo Fan might be late to the match .

Besides, old man Feng Li even called and asked what the asshole Mo Fan was up to, since he had still not shown up at the match .

There was no way Mo Fan would say he had paid a visit to Croatia for a few days . He simply told the team that he was cultivating in seclusion, thus they should not call him unless it was an emergency…

—

"Brother Fan, why do I feel like it's quite empty here? Is the match between China and Spain really not that popular?" Zhang Xiaohou asked as they arrived at the place .

Lingling too lifted her gaze . She remained silent looking at the empty place .

Mo Fan was confused too . Did everyone already go inside the stadium? Even so, there should be lots of people outside still . The World College Tournament was one of the remaining official tournaments in the world, and most people would only be able to watch a magic battle during the World College Tournament…

"Mo Fan, why aren't you here yet? We are starting soon!" Zhao Manyan called and demanded in a panic .

"I've arrived at the entrance of Torunto Stadium . Something isn't right, why don't I hear any noise from it?" Mo Fan said .

The other end fell silent for a few seconds .

"Did the water of the rivers in Venice fill up your f**king brain? The match today is at the Dragon Fangs Dueling Ground!" Zhao Manyan roared into the phone . Mo Fan could even feel his saliva spitting out from his phone .

"Holy crap, no one told me about it!" Mo Fan was astounded .

"Feng Li is most likely going to kick you off the team . Send me your location, I'll fly to you now!" Zhao Manyan said .

"Oh, oh, I'm heading in your direction, we'll meet between the two places!" Mo Fan answered .

Mo Fan briefly told Lingling and Zhang Xiaohou about it and sprinted along the canals using the Dark Noble Mantle without carrying about the rules in Venice…

Both Lingling and Zhang Xiaohou watched Mo Fan hurriedly disappearing into the distance like they were looking at an idiot .

"I feel sorry for the national team for recruiting Brother Fan . "

"In the end, we still have to buy our own tickets," Lingling complained in displeasure .

The Dragon Fangs Dueling Ground was one of the oldest magic stadiums in Venice . It was not a temporary establishment, but made of stone formations that standing as firmly as dragon fangs .

The slopes varied in height; some were only a few meters tall, like a bunch of fake hills scattering across the place like a maze . Some were incredibly tall, thirty to forty meters in height, as tall as the towering buildings in Venice!

The venue of the match was right here where the mountains of dragon fangs stood in lines .

From the resting zone for the participants, Jiang Yu exclaimed while staring at the mountains . "It seems like Earth Mages are going to have an advantage this time . "

"Not really, don't you notice the whole place is actually sunken?" Instructor Bai Dongwei pointed out .

The instructor of the Training Hall was here, together with a few members of the National Hall . Since they were substitutes, they were seated quite a distance behind the official representatives . Mo Fan would have been familiar with a few of them . Mu Nujiao was clearly one of them, and in addition to her, Dongfang Lie and Yue Tangxin were here too…

Even though they were substitutes, they had no chance of participating in a match . There were already ten official representatives for the national team . They would only take part if everyone on the national team was involved in some kind of accident . As such, they were only there to learn from watching the match .

"If he's not here, I'll go . My secondary Element is Earth, and the layout is quite complicated with the jagged rocks across the place . It's quite an ideal match for me!" said Guan Yu who was eager to show off his talents .

"Be patient, the match hasn't started yet!" Feng Li glared at him .

"If he still hasn't arrived when the match starts, we won't be able to replace him!" Mu Tingying said .

The national team could decide on their representatives before a match, but when the match was about to start, they had to hand in the list of names, and would no longer be able to modify it . The person that was absent would be disqualified .

"Don't tell me the guy already went hiding? He's such a coward . We never had a coward like him who did not dare to face his enemy among the Spanish Mages!" Prince Beny said . He blatantly expressed his disdain for Mo Fan . However, when he realized Mu Ningxue was right beside him, Prince Beny immediately explained politely, "Miss Mu Ningxue, I wasn't referring to you and your team . I was only referring to the man who fled after disrespecting me . I would like to settle the dispute with him today, yet he ran away without caring about the team's glory . "

Prince Beny jabbered on, but Mu Ningxue simply treated him like air .

Mu Ningxue was too familiar with how Mo Fan was . He would continue to sleep and eat according to his own schedule even if he had beaten a king up, let alone a little prince!

It was not Beny's first time coming to annoy them . He even abused his noble status to grant himself access to the Chinese team's resting area . There were times when Mu Ningxue really had the urge to toss the man into the canals again in annoyance, just like Mo Fan had!

"Prince Beny, I believe it's time for you to go back to your place . It's meaningless for you to provoke us here!" Jiang Shaoxu snapped .

"I am not taking part in the match . Besides, I've already asked your superior, and he has granted his permission," Prince Beny replied firmly .

"My teacher did not reject your request out of politeness, and yet you're shameless enough to barge your way in . You are clearly siding with the Spanish team, and yet you've come to our spot . Are you trying to eavesdrop when we are discussing our strategy?" Jiang Yu said suspiciously .

Jiang Yu already considered Mo Fan his friend, and this Beny had come to flirt with Mu Ningxue . Jiang Yu would not allow anyone to take advantage of his friend's woman!

Although there were no royal families in China, in terms of social status, the representatives on the Chinese team were not inferior to the royal family of Spain . As such, apart from Mu Tingying, who might actually treat Prince Beny seriously, the others completely disregarded his existence .

The truth was, after listening to him blabbering non-stop, Jiang Yu realized that Mo Fan had done the right thing by tossing this self-important jerk into the canals!

"Friend, what did you mean by that? Do you think it is necessary for the Great Spain to eavesdrop on your strategy and formation? Don't forget, we placed thirteenth in the last World College Tournament, and your team was disqualified right at the beginning!" Beny was not happy with the accusation, and mercilessly riposted .

"Damn it, don't even mention the last World College Tournament . Your team would have run back home with their tail between their legs if they encountered the American team like we did!" Jiang Yu said furiously .

"Jiang Yu, what's up with you? Have you forgotten everything I taught you? Where are your manners?" Pang Lai glared at Jiang Yu .

Jiang Yu immediately lost his spirit . He did not dare oppose his teacher .

Prince Beny laughed gloatingly when he saw Pang Lai scolding Jiang Yu .

The prince from Spain seemed to have been spoiled growing up . He did not bother concealing his emotions, as if there was no need for him to mind others due to his status .

"Prince Beny, aren't you supposed to go back? The match is about to begin," Pang Lai said .

"I'm waiting for that coward . I already told you, it was that guy who treated me impolitely first! The media is full of the news of me being tossed into the canals, and he damaged my reputation . I must settle the dispute with him once and for all!" Prince Beny said .

"So how are you going to settle it?" Mo Fan's voice rang out .

Prince Beny chuckled as soon as he saw Mo Fan . He said with a provoking look, "You've finally shown yourself! It turns out that you still have some courage left . I, however, don't mind telling you that I've asked the Spanish team to give you some special treatment . You will pay if you dare participate in the match!"

"Prince Beny, are you threatening my student?" Pang Lai frowned and said discontentedly .

"I was just saying! If you think I was threatening him, that's up to you!" Prince Beny replied haughtily, disregarding Pang Lai's question .

"So you think your team is very strong, and you're surely going to beat us?" asked Feng Li . His bad temper could no longer stand it .

"We aren't that strong, but I believe we have quite a good chance to best your team!" Beny said .

In Beny's eyes, Spain was obviously going to be stronger than China, either because of their ranking during the last World College Tournament, or their global influence .

"Very well, you're pretty confident…" Feng Li was starting to lose his calm because of the Spanish fop .

Initially, Feng Li had decided not to let Mo Fan take part in the match, as he was late and clearly lacked discipline . He wanted to teach Mo Fan a lesson, just so he would behave well next time .

However, after hearing Prince Beny's comment, Feng Li believed it was necessary to release the mad hound .

"Mo Fan, since Prince Beny has specifically asked to settle the dispute with you, you will be facing the so-called students of their royal family then!" Advisor Feng Li declared .

Mo Fan grinned . This Prince Beny seriously thought he was afraid!

"Don't worry, I'll do my best; I will make sure our team won't lose too horribly," Mo Fan said mockingly .

"Oh, yeah, just do your best, we won't blame you if you lose," Feng Li instinctively chimed up in concert with Mo Fan when he saw Mo Fan putting up an act .

"Hey, I would really like to motivate myself, aren't they setting up a bet out there? Help me bet two hundred million on our team winning the match," Mo Fan yelled in Zhao Manyan's direction indifferently .

"Two hundred million? Do you have that much… oh, oh, that's indeed a brilliant way to motivate yourself . If you lose, the two hundred million will be gone just like that, but, that's the spirit, alright, I'll bet two hundred million for you!" Zhao Manyan said .

"Prince Beny, I heard your royal family is in charge of most of the trade happening between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, meaning that you must be pretty rich, too . Why don't you place a bet to cheer for your team?" Mo Fan challenged him .

"Two hundred million, that's…that's a bit…how about this, I'll bet a hundred million, I don't really have so much cash on me, (cough cough)!" Prince Beny twisted his lips with an unwilling expression .

As a matter of fact, a hundred million was quite a crazy amount of money . Even among Advanced Mages, it was rare to see anyone daring enough to bet a hundred million on a match . However, if Prince Beny withdrew after being provoked by Mo Fan like that, it meant he was simply bullshitting!

He could only afford to bet half the amount . The truth was, Prince Beny was totally unaware of Mo Fan's background, but he knew who Zhao Manyan was . The financial status of the Zhao Family from China was comparable to the royal family of Spain .

Betting a hundred million was fairly shocking, yet it did not mean he could not get it back . It was legal to bet for the matches of the World College Tournament, and the odds were calculated based on the stakes placed on both teams .

Prince Beny remembered that the odds were currently three to one, meaning that if Spain won, the stake placed on the Chinese team would be split among those that bet on the Spanish team . Betting a hundred million would win him around thirty million .

However, if the Chinese team won, those who bet on the Chinese team would earn triple the stake they placed!

It was similar to sports betting . The World College Tournament had always been a pool of gold for many, as betting was legal in the tournament .

The odds were adjusted based on the stakes placed on both teams . It was fair, since if the dark horse won, those who bet on it would earn a great deal, while those that followed the trend and bet on the expected winner would lose!

The truth was, Mo Fan was basically broke at the moment . The eight hundred million he tried his best to save up was all taken away by Asha'ruiya . He was only fooling around when he yelled at Zhao Manyan . The man was quite smart too, and did not call him out on the spot . He immediately played his role to trick Prince Beny into betting a hundred million too .

Unfortunately, despite how arrogant Prince Beny was, he was not stupid enough to bet two hundred million!

But… making him lose a hundred million was fine, too!

"Fine, a hundred million it is, it turns out that the confidence you have in your team is nothing but talk . Enough provoking, what are you waiting for here? Just go back to your place, stop being an eyesore here," Mo Fan scoffed .

Prince Beny had a grim face . As a matter of fact, he could not really afford to lose a hundred million in a bet . Being a member of the royal family did not mean he had picked all his money up off the ground!

—

Mo Fan was amused when he saw Beny leave with his tail between his legs . This prince was actually quite stupid to believe that he had actually bet two hundred million on his team to win . He actually sent someone to place the bet for him!

"Mo Fan, aren't you too reckless? Money doesn't come easily, how can you bet so much on the match?" Dean Song He said .

"I was only fooling around with him . How could I possibly have that much money?" Mo Fan said .

"Oh, so you weren't being serious… but why did I see Zhao Manyan going away to place the bet?" Song He said .

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment . He immediately turned around and discovered that Zhao Manyan had actually gone missing!

-F**k me! Shit's going down!-

"Participants, in your position!" the judge declared as Mo Fan was about to go and stop Zhao Manyan from placing the bet .

Once the judge made the announcement, the participants were required to show up on the stage immediately . Mo Fan was initially planning to chase after Zhao Manyan, yet he was dragged onto the stage by Feng Li forcibly!

"Jiang Yu, go stop that idiot, I don't have any money on me!" Mo Fan cried .

"F**k me, why didn't you say it earlier! I thought you were crazy, betting so much money on the match!"

"Enough talk, go!"

"I think we're too late… look at the odds, the number on our side dropped by a decimal point," Jiang Yu said .

Mo Fan looked up at the screen and discovered that the odds had indeed changed!

Although the bet was open to the whole world, meaning that the stake would be fairly huge, a bet of two hundred million was not small, either, and it was more than enough to change the odds by a decimal point .

However, the little drop of a decimal point was enough to make Mo Fan's heart explode .

-Is he a pig!?

-Is Zhao Manyan a pig!?-

Mo Fan had been setting up other people for his whole life, yet it turned out that he had been set up by the pig this time!

The man had actually bet two hundred million on the match . If the Chinese team lost, Mo Fan would be done for!

"Listen up, you only need to beat the crap out of that guy, don't cross the line . Otherwise, someone might make a huge fuss about it and put the blame on me," Prince Beny said to Frank, a representative of the Spanish team, in a soft voice .

Although Frank had grown up with the royal family of Spain, he did not inherit the bloodline of the royal family . He was only adopted by the family, and although Prince Beny and Frank were like brothers on the surface, many people knew that Frank was Prince Beny's subordinate, and was usually responsible for doing inhumane acts on behalf of Prince Beny .

"Don't worry, I won't go easy on someone like him!" Frank said seriously .

The representatives stood in their positions, waiting for the judge to declare the start of the match .

The spectator seats surrounding the stage were rather special . Most of them were a platform supported by a pillar, scattered across the Dragon Fangs Dueling Ground at varied heights . As a result, the cheers of the crowd sounded like a wave!

Initially, everyone thought the Earth Mages would have an advantage in the match because of how the stage was set up . It was obvious that the mounds scattered across the place would be useful for those with the Earth Element . However, just as the match was about to begin, the officials did something to make the dueling ground even more stunning!

Ten Water Mages stood at the boundary of the Dragon Fangs Dueling Ground . They cast Rolling Waves simultaneously, pouring water into the dueling ground .

Within an instant, it was like ten waterfalls poured into the dueling ground from the boundary . The crowd was left in awe at the spectacular view .

The water gradually rose, and a few of the shorter mounds were totally covered by it .

The water continued to rise, and not long after, the Dragon Fangs Dueling Ground that initially consisted of jagged, rocky mounds had turned into a lake . The participants had no place to set their feet down, apart from the pointy, mountain peaks!

"This is bad!" Mo Fan scowled .

If it was just an ordinary stage, Mo Fan was fairly confident that he could defeat the Spanish team, as it was unlikely they would send out all their best members knowing that they had more strong opponents to face later in the tournament .

But to his surprise, the stage had suddenly turned into a lake . Fortunately, there was still limited ground for him to move around . If the whole stage was covered in water, a non-swimmer like Mo Fan would simply be done for!

"It has suddenly turned into a marine battlefield . Mo Fan isn't good at fighting underwater . The situation isn't in our favor, right from the start," Jiang Yu said .

"Not only is the environment unfavorable to him, even his teammates are unfavorable to him . "

"You're right, both Zu Jiming and Nanrong Ni have conflicts with Mo Fan . It's up to Nanyu on how she's going to convince them to focus on the match . "

"Don't forget there's Zhao Manyan too . Even though he isn't participating in the match, he already gave Mo Fan a huge blow right to the head . "

—

The main judge signaled the participants to enter the stage!

The matches in Venice were all team battles, with the standard five-versus-five format .

The representatives of the Chinese team were Mo Fan, Nanyu, Jiang Shaoxu, Nanrong Ni, and Zu Jiming . From what the team could tell, it was basically a formation of four supports and one carry!

Mo Fan was utterly clueless about what old Feng Li was thinking . Both Nanyu and Jiang Shaoxu were Mages without outstanding offensive abilities, and together with Zu Jiming and Nanrong Ni, he basically was the only damage output on their team!

As for the Spanish team, for some reason, Mo Fan had a feeling that the environment of the stage was in their favor, as he could see faint grins on their faces while the Dragon Fangs Dueling Ground was turning into a lake .

"Spain is a maritime country, so many of their Mages are likely to be experts of the Water Element . Even those without the Water Element will know how to utilize the environment to their favor, so it doesn't really look good for us," Nanyu observed .

"Let's just try our best," Jiang Shaoxu said .

"Mo Fan, did you see the person with curly blue hair?" Nanyu said .

"Yeah, why?" Mo Fan replied .

"He's Frank, one of the strongest members of the Spanish team . He takes orders from Prince Beny, so you should look out for him . "

"Got it!"

——

After the main judge's declaration, the magic battle between China and Spain officially began .

The Spanish team was clearly more experienced at fighting in water, as they thought . At least three of their opponents had the Water Element, and with the readily available supply of water around, they totally felt at home casting Water Spells .

The spiked mounds were Mo Fan's only relief . However, the Spanish team was quite cunning . They seemed to assume that most members of the Chinese team did not have the Water Element . As soon as the match started, they immediately summoned fierce tides, trying to destroy as many of the mountains as possible!

Nanyu began to panic when she saw the mountains where they could set their feet on starting to sink and submerge into the lake .

Mo Fan was the core of their team . If a non-swimmer like him had nowhere to stand, they would basically lose the match!

"We can't let them destroy the Dragon Fangs, stop them!" Nanyu said .

"How can we possibly stop them? It's not like they are attacking us, they are aiming for the rocks, as if we can stop that…" Zu Jiming said .

"A bunch of assholes, if that's what they want, I won't go easy on them!" Mo Fan was infuriated too!

He was currently carrying a debt of two hundred million . Apart from the fury burning in his chest, the thought of the debt served as a great motivation to him . Seeing the Spanish team trying to pull a dirty trick on them, he immediately connected the Star Orbits into Star Patterns, which eventually combined into a Star Constellation…

If they were so interested in hitting the rocks, he would simply blast them to death!

"Sky-Flame Funeral!"

Mo Fan was the kind that would go all out even with the slightest disagreement . The fiery clouds rose high up in the air, before flames started pouring down rapidly where the Spanish team was .

The flames set the surface of the lake aflame, turning it into a blazing red sea of flames .

The Spanish team was no longer in the mood to destroy the Dragon Fangs when their lives were being threatened by the raging flames . They quickly summoned rolling tides and rain to put out Mo Fan's flames .

"It seems like a person of their team has gone missing?" Jiang Shaoxu said .

Mo Fan quickly cast a glance at them . One of the members of the Spanish team had indeed disappeared after the first wave of attacks .

It was obvious that the person who had disappeared must be an expert underwater . They must be sneaking up to the team from underwater .

Nanyu moved her ear closer to the water and focused .

She blurted out suddenly, her face startled, "There's an undercurrent coming from below us, brace yourselves!"

Not long after Nanyu's warning, the water under them started to flow in a strange manner .

The water deep under the surface started to spin, dragging the water above it . Not long after, a whirlpool gradually took shape . It was like a giant beast in the lake, with its giant mouth located right under the five of them!

The water started to spin quicker, smashing some of the weaker Dragon Fangs nearby into pieces . Mo Fan glanced downward and saw a vague figure at the center of the whirlpool, waving his hands around and controlling the water .

Clearly, the attack was not as simple as a giant whirlpool . The man was trying to drown them! The opening gap was slowly rising, aiming to devour them all!

"They are trying to separate us, we can't let them get their way!" Jiang Shaoxu said .

"You guys will have to come up with a plan, my magic isn't useful in this situation," Zu Jiming said .

Nanyu had already closed her eyes . Her short hair was disheveled in the strong wind and the watery mist .

A vigorous sonic wave penetrated the spinning wave, and as it crashed into the rapid current, the whirlpool started to twist in a strange manner!

Following that, the formidable whirlpool collapsed, water rising high up into the sky, reaching a over a few dozen meters high .

The sonic wave not only shattered the current, but it reached all the way to where the Spanish Mage was, producing a loud buzz that made his ears ring and his head shake!

The Water Mage did not stand a chance against Nanyu's Sound Element . He immediately fled toward his team, not daring to stir up any trouble further underwater .

Nanyu did not plan to let him go . She flicked her finger and fired a sonic wave through the water . It shot deep into the water, like a long string!

The sonic wave lashed forward like a whip in the water . Nanyu flicked her fingers continuously, firing more strings into the water . It looked like the lake was about to split in half by the strings .

The water splashed wildly as the strings whipped the Water Mage continuously . The Spanish member did not expect to find an expert of the Sound Element on the enemy team . The water had no chance of stopping her Sound Spells, which landed on him mercilessly .

When the Spanish member was finally out of the range of Nanyu's spells, his armor was already damaged beyond recognition!

—

"A Sound Mage!" Frank squinted as he stared at Nanyu in the distance .

It was rare to find a Sound Mage in Europe . As a matter of fact, a Sound Mage was incredibly rare in any country in the world . If Prince Beny had not ordered Frank to deal with someone specifically, he was quite interested in dueling the rare Sound Mage!

"Just hide underwater and don't attack so recklessly again . Wait for us to create a great opening for you," Frank said to the Water Mage .

"I won't dare stay underwater if we don't take care of that Sound Mage first," the Water Mage said helplessly .

"Don't worry, she won't be staying in this match for long!" Frank grinned . Those who were familiar with him knew that it meant he was starting to make his move!

Chapter 1064: 1064

Sapphire blue wings spread open, the noble feathers soared into the air after a slight quivering .

The thin feathers did not fall to the ground, but were tied together by some force, like dust particles revolving around a star . They formed a circle of feathers, setting off the elegance of the sapphire-blue feathered wings!

The wings beat heavily, firing Frank into the air like an arrow . He came to a stop after reaching a hundred meters . The spectators had to raise their heads in order to see him .

On the screens, Frank was gliding in the air, the sapphire-blue wings on his back were glimmering under the sunlight . Together with his handsome face and heroic air, the young girls among the spectators immediately screamed out cheers for him, setting passionate eyes on him .

Frank glanced down like an eagle searching for its prey . He immediately locked onto Nanyu as she was casting her Sound Spells .

As he dove from the sky, the air around his body spiraled rapidly, like a screw . He quickly erupted in blue flames as his body rubbed against the air, and dove rapidly, like a glamorous blue meteorite!

—

"A Fire Mage!" Mo Fan was quite surprised when he raised his head and looked at Frank .

The meteorite was getting closer . It looked ordinary when it was high up in the sky, but as it gradually approached the stage, everyone finally realized how enormous the meteorite was, and its suffocating pressure!

"I'll go!" Knowing that the man was the toughest opponent in the match, Mo Fan decided to face him directly instead . "Flame!" Mo Fan yelled . A fiery aura burst out of his body, followed by the eruption of the blazing red Rose Flame and the brown-red Calamity Fire, which intertwined and soared up in the form of fire pillars!

"Aren't you bold trying to face me head-on…" Mo Fan harrumphed coldly .

He stomped the ground, unleashing a circle of burning curtains consisting of the Calamity Fire . The curtains turned into countless fiery feathers that fell onto him gently, forming a pair of stunning wings spitting flames on Mo Fan's back!

"Rocket Wings!" Strictly speaking, Mo Fan's wings did not really beat, but simply propelled Mo Fan into the sky by detonating some of the feathers . And yet, the force was strong enough to thrust Mo Fan into the sky like a rocket . It was totally different than someone soaring into the sky with wings!

Mo Fan's entire body was engulfed in fierce flames as well . The blazing red fire and the blue meteorite gradually approached one another, and crashed into one another around thirty meters up!

The red energy was from Mo Fan, the combination of the Rose Flame and Calamity Fire . Even though he had summoned them later, its aura was comparable to Frank's blue meteorite!

The two flames of different colors collided, sprouts of flames sprinkled in the sky, with fire tongues surging wildly . Mo Fan was throwing a Meteorite Fist, while Frank had simply engulfed himself in fire . The two flames of different colors simply merged together following the explosion…

—

"How violent!" Among the spectators, the eyes of many old Mages widened .

It was rare to see Mages meeting force with force directly . After all, the flesh of a Mage was fairly weak, and no one would dare endure the overwhelming energy of a destructive spell with their own body!

"That guy would only react like that because he is extremely confident in his own strength!"

"The two flames are totally mixed up, it's hard to tell who has the upper hand…"

"It looks like someone is flying out from the flames!"

Inside the lump of blue fire, Frank could no longer endure Mo Fan's destructive power . He fell to the side and plopped into the lake .

Mo Fan was also falling as he lost his momentum . However, it was obvious that he was falling at his own will . He was not as miserable as Frank appeared to be…

"Thousand Feathers Fiery Phoenix!"

Mo Fan's Rocket Wings Meteorite Fist was not done yet . As he was falling, the fiery feathers on Mo Fan's back spread wildly and chased after Frank . As they reached a certain distance, they combined into a fiery phoenix, ramming into Frank with ferocious might!

—

Frank was utterly dumbfounded . He did not dare to lower his guard when he saw the fiery phoenix charging at him . He quickly summoned his Shield Equipment .

The fiery feathers exploded, and the overwhelming energy immediately evaporated a portion of the lake . Frank was initially planning to land on one of the Dragon Fangs, yet he soon found himself being swept away by the boiling wave the explosion had stirred up .

Luckily, the magic shield he Summoned was nothing ordinary, managing to block most of the damage for him . Otherwise, it was quite possible that Frank would have been knocked out in just the first round!

—

"Such an imperious Fire Mage!" Pang Lai's eyes flickered with excitement .

Not only did Mo Fan secure the upper hand, despite having less time to prepare himself for the attack, he was able to follow up with another attack! It was obvious which Fire Mage was stronger of the two . It was Pang Lai's first time watching Mo Fan fight, and even he was dazzled by the strength Mo Fan displayed . He had no idea there was such a talented Fire Mage on the national team!

A battle between two Fire Mages solely depended on who had the fiercer flames . Both Mo Fan and Frank had crashed into one another like two burning meteorites, but the one that was crushed was Frank!

—

Among the supporters of the Spanish team, the expressions of those that supported Frank immediately sank .

"Isn't Frank supposed to be one of the most talented students with the Fire Element in the Spanish royal family? Why was he knocked into the water so easily? Was the royal family bluffing all along?" someone could not help but doubt .

The sapphire blue wings, the stunning circle of feathers, and the blue meteorite had earned a great cheer from the crowd; Frank had managed to stir up the emotions of the crowd, yet in the end, it was merely pleasant to the eye . Not only did the Chinese representative knock him flying, he was also blasted into a miserable state . The young women that cheered for him felt extremely bad, like some lustful women who were suddenly told they had to stop after they were feeling it after the foreplay!

—

A faintly colored spirit butterfly circled above the water . As Frank came out of the water, it immediately landed on his burns to treat his injuries .

Frank glanced at Palice, who was standing a fair distance away . He immediately looked awkward .

Palice was the girl that Frank liked, and was also the Healer on their team . Frank initially wanted to show off in front of her, yet he ended up in such a miserable state!

"Frank, don't underestimate your opponent," Palice said, staying rather calm .

Frank nodded, before glaring at Mo Fan . Apart from feeling agitated, he was actually quite confused, too!

His blue flame was from a Soul-grade Fire Seed, and even though it did not have a Domain, its power was still multiple times greater than a Spirit-grade Seed . It was obvious that his opponent's flame was only from a Spirit-grade Seed, so how did he end up getting the upper hand in a direct confrontation?

Was it really possible to disguise a person's flame?

Little did Frank know, the real power of Mo Fan's flame did not come from the Rose Flame, but Little Flame Belle's imperious Calamity Fire . The Calamity Fire was hidden within the Rose Flame, and even though it was easy to observe the two different colors of the combined flames, anyone would have a hard time learning the secret of Mo Fan's fire without inspecting it closely!

—

"Prince Beny, you've truly found us a tough opponent," Conti calmly said .

"It's only the first round, Frank isn't as weak as you think, Miss Conti . Frank hasn't even shown us his true strength . " Prince Beny seemed very calm too .

Beny was extremely familiar with Frank's strength . The Fire Element was not Frank's strongest Element . That idiot called Mo Fan would soon learn his lesson .

"I've been quite interested in the representatives of other countries lately, and I just received the information of the representative on the Chinese team . Apparently, he has quite a formidable innate talent," Conti said with a smile .

"He's not the only person with an innate talent, our Frank also has a strong innate talent…" a young girl beside Beny pouted .

The girl was Beny's sister . Like brother, like sister, they had the same proud look on their faces .

"Miss Conti…" Prince Beny was about to speak when an uproar took place among the crowd .

Beny initially thought it was Frank using his innate talent, yet it turned out that the crowd was cheering for the man with flames bursting out of him instead of Frank!

Currently, the Chinese representative did not just turn into a fiery demon . He was also surrounded by a blazing red circle of flames . Its power was so overwhelming that the water under him continued to evaporate, and the water level was dropping significantly!

"He owns an incredibly rare Fire Spirit, so even though he only has a Spirit-grade Fire Seed, he still has a great advantage over Frank . " The knowledgeable Conti immediately noticed the secret of Mo Fan's fire with her exceptional insight .

"Humph, there's no way he's going to win the match!" Prince Beny snapped coldly .

—

Mo Fan no longer concealed his strength . The other members of the Spanish team were still focusing on destroying the Dragon Fangs . At this rate, his movement would be greatly limited . He had to strike while he still had the upper hand .

It would be quite tricky to win the match with only Advanced Spells, so he immediately had Little Flame Belle possess him, granting him the formidable Calamity Fire!

The true strength of the Calamity Fire immediately stunned the crowd as soon as it spread across the dueling ground .

A Fire Spirit was a fairly rare existence, let alone a creature like the Flame Belle that was blessed by the heavens with the ability to Possess someone . Many Fire Mages immediately felt jealous of Mo Fan when he displayed his strongest stance!

However, engulfing oneself in fire and controlling the flames at will like Mo Fan was doing was quite demanding . Flame Belle was the only one of her kind left in the world, and even if there was some other creature like the Flame Belle, the Fire Mage would also need to possess the Summoning Element, and be able to perfectly synchronize with the creature . Otherwise, the Mage's soul would be burned to ashes if they were Possessed by the creature for too long!

Only a few people in the world were able to match Mo Fan's control over the Flame Belle's power, so Mo Fan's transformation immediately stirred a great uproar from the crowd!

Frank extended his sapphire-blue wings once again and swiftly flew to the top of the highest Dragon Fang .

Mo Fan did not allow himself to be outdone, either . He leapt between the Dragon Fangs and gradually approached the tallest Dragon Fang, trying to go head to head with Frank .

"Didn't Prince Beny specifically tell you to teach me a lesson, and humiliate me in front of the few hundred million people watching the match? Why are you cowering now?" Mo Fan taunted him .

Frank's eyes flickered coldly . He pointed at Mo Fan and said, "Just wait and see, even if you have some strange ability, it's nothing before my innate talent!"

"Oh, what kind of innate talent do you have? Feel free to use it! It's been a while since I last fought a guy that could last more than ten rounds against me . I hope you won't let me down, since you were specifically sent here to deal with me!" Mo Fan grinned .

"Don't be too full of yourself!" Frank snapped furiously .

"So what? I'll beat the crap out of you as my way of paying respect to your shitty prince!" The flames engulfing Mo Fan grew even stronger as his fist erupted in flames while he threw a punch!

The Fiery Fist flew right at the tallest Dragon Fang Frank was standing on!

Frank suddenly emitted a strange glow, and as a blue flame gathered on his fist, the strange glow surprisingly merged with his fist, too!

Even though the two of them were casting the same spell, the blue flame spreading in the shape of a fan seemed to be a lot stronger than Mo Fan's fire . It immediately devoured Mo Fan's flames .

As the blue burning fist came in, Mo Fan agilely leapt to another Dragon Fang . He turned around and looked at the Dragon Fang that was smashed into pieces behind him in astonishment .

"Weren't you confident just then? I dare you to attack me head-on again!" The strange glow appeared once again as Frank was casting the Sky-Flame Funeral .

Frank did not shove the Sky-Flame Funeral into the sky, but gathered it on his right wrist instead .

Mo Fan did not try to run away even when he saw the man placing the Sky-Flame Funeral on his fist . He gathered all the flames around him into his wrist, too!

"Rain of Burning Fists!" Frank yelled as the strange glow merged with the blue flame .

A Fiery Fist sprang forward, yet it further split into countless fiery fists, like the raindrops of a great downpour, surging in Mo Fan's direction!

The fists poured down like rain as the flames spread like a curtain . The combination of Sky-Flame Funeral and Fiery Fist that Frank had just cast immediately stunned the crowd . Everyone's eyes widened as they watched the Fiery Fists pouring down in a spectacular, destructive display .

Mo Fan raised his head and realized that he was surrounded by the Fiery Fists . He could no longer dodge the approaching Fiery Fists .

"Is his innate talent the ability to merge different spells?" Mo Fan was astounded too .

It was unlikely that an ordinary Fire Mage could combine the Sky-Flame Funeral and the Fiery Fist into a single spell . After all, a Star Pattern was different than a Star Constellation . The levels between different spells were strictly defined, and even a Fire Mage with an outstanding level of control was unable to merge two spells into one!

Mo Fan had to admit that the Rain of Burning Fists was a lot more imperious than the Sky-Flame Funeral, since tiny raindrops could mostly patter on the ground, but a rain of fists would simply leave countless holes in the ground!

Each Fiery Fist contained some destructive force, and when Fiery Fists started pouring down like rain, the damage it would deal was absolutely insane!

The Fiery Fists descended rapidly . He was devoured by the flames of the Fiery Fists before he could make his move .

The water continued to evaporate under the scorching heat, while the Dragon Fangs were smashed into pieces . The flames spread wildly across the arena . Frank's attack had totally shocked the crowd, leaving everyone with their eyes and mouths wide open!

—

"I bet it didn't feel great," Prince Beny chuckled in joy after getting his revenge .

Conti was lost in thought, too . She was still wondering how it was possible to combine different spells into one .

"Miss Conti, do you still think Frank is no match for that guy?" Prince Beny said proudly .

"The owner of a Fire Spirit usually has outstanding Fire Resistance, I don't think he will be defeated so easily," Conti said .

"What difference would that make? Even a few Water Curtains are nowhere enough to defend against an attack of this scale!" Beny declared indifferently .

Conti was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of a figure standing firmly on top of an undamaged Dragon Fang amid the Rain of Burning Fists .

Water vapor was rising continuously in his surroundings . He was still engulfed in the same combination of brown-red and blazing red flames . After taking a closer look, Conti discovered that the man was not as miserable as she thought, apart from a few burns .

The Rain of Burning Fists was strong enough to defeat a whole team, let alone defeat a single representative of a national team . However, the man simply stood there and took it, and it turned out that he had only suffered some minor injuries!

"His Fire Resistance…" Conti's face was filled with astonishment .

He was barely injured even after receiving such a strong attack!

—

"Oh my!"

"He hasn't even used his defensive equipment?"

"Was that guy's body forged with fire? How did he even survive that?"

The proud smile on Prince Beny and Frank's faces totally vanished, especially Frank, who was extremely familiar with how powerful his Rain of Burning Fists was . It was basically his strongest attack, and even those wearing expensive magic armor would be blasted beyond recognition, yet how was the guy totally fine after receiving it head-on!?

"Is that all you have?" Mo Fan's gaze sharpened . The fiery aura that had been put out not long ago rose again, and it seemed to be slightly stronger than before!

Mo Fan's body was sturdier than any ordinary person's . After all, the Demon Element was one of the Elements that Mo Fan had Awakened, and it had granted Mo Fan the ability to endure many attacks without danger!

Leaving the Demon Element aside, being Possessed by Flame Belle did not just grant him a stunning appearance . Using the Fire Element in front of the creature who was blessed with the Calamity Fire was like displaying one's insignificant skill before an expert . The Flame Belle's Fire Resistance was absolutely ridiculous, and an Advanced Fire Spell was only going to scratch the outside of her boot!

Little Flame Belle had absorbed most of the damage, and Mo Fan was simply too lazy to dodge the rest of it, since it was easily within the limits that his Demon Flesh could endure!

"I've tasted your fire, it's time for you to taste mine!" Mo Fan grunted .

The energy that Mo Fan had long accumulated in his right fist sprang forward like an army of galloping horses as soon as he threw a punch forward . The blazing flames immediately set half the stage on fire!

A stunning fiery dragon lunged forward with a blasting roar!

The fiery dragon sprang forward and knocked Frank into the air . Frank felt like he had been bitten by a red dragon, and if it was not for the expensive Armor protecting him, his flesh would have been burned into ashes in an instant!

The outer layer of his Armor was set aflame, and the heat was burning him despite the Armor in between . Frank did have a certain fire resistance, since he wielded the Fire Element, yet it was nothing compared to Mo Fan's, since he was not Possessed by a Fire Spirit…

The fire dragon soared into the air and exploded at a height of a hundred meters . Flames sprouted and danced wildly . The explosion had blasted Frank's Armor into pieces, falling to the ground!

"Save him, or he's going to be knocked out!" the Water Mage hiding underwater immediately yelled .

Palice was aware of how grim the situation was . She started drawing the Star Constellation of the Healing Element…

Several faint glimmers appeared around Frank . The light was synchronized with the glow emitted by the Star Constellation taking shape close to Palice .

It was the Advanced Healing Spell, the flickering motes forming an Aquarius sign that would encapsulate the target to protect them while healing the person's injuries .

Normally, any serious injuries would take a longer time and more energy to heal, including damage dealt to a person's bones, organs, and veins . A Healing Spirit would have a hard time mending them, but the Aquarius Star Sign could, and it could even heal damage dealt to organs within a short period!

—

"Don't give her a chance to heal him!" Nanyu blurted out .

Mo Fan had finally secured an advantage for the team in the duel against Frank, yet they would soon lose the advantage if they allowed the opponent Healer to treat Frank with the Aquarius Star Sign!

"Leave it to me!" Jiang Shaoxu immediately focused and locked her gaze on the Spanish Healer, Palice . Her Spiritual Force sprang forward at the speed of lightning, targeting the mind of the Healer .

She had drawn two-thirds of the Star Constellation, so Jiang Shaoxu had struck at the perfect time . Not only would she disrupt the spell, the target would also waste the energy needed to cast an Advanced Spell!

"Spirit Wall!"

As Jiang Shaoxu was seconds away from disrupting the channeling, another man on the Spanish team reacted quickly and immediately set up a Spirit Wall right in front of Palice, preventing Jiang Shaoxu's Spiritual Force from going any further .

"Crap, they also have a Psychic Mage!" Jiang Shaoxu was startled .

—

The Aquarius Star Sign was about to take shape . The blue glow formed its sacred protection, gradually encapsulating Frank within it…

Mo Fan harrumphed coldly when he saw the blue light . His eyes emitted a silver light!

"Still trying to heal him? Come over here!" Mo Fan grabbed out with his hand . His Illusionary Claw grabbed at Frank firmly from over a hundred meters away as he was about to land on the ground .

The moment the Aquarius Star Sign was completed, Mo Fan pulled his hand back fiercely, tossing Frank heavily onto a Dragon Fang further into the distance .

The Aquarius Star Sign had a limited range, and once its target was out of range, it could no longer protect them!

Mo Fan's sister was an expert with the Healing Element, so he was utterly familiar with the limitations of the Advanced Healing Spell . The Aquarius Star Sign reached the maximum range from its caster, but it had no chance of reaching the injured Frank!
