Chapter 41 Old Man Mu Who Can't Afford to Play
"Ice Vines - Cover!"
Crack! Crack! The ice continued to solidify in the dueling arena, spreading straight towards Mo Fan's position.
"Wow, it's actually level three Ice Vine Cover! But why do I feel like the Ice Vine Cover released by Yu Ang is much stronger than the one released by Jiang Han?" Fatty exclaimed.
Xu Dahuang shook his head and said, "You've seen Jiang Han's strength before. He single-handedly killed the Bone Spike Wolf. That kid is a monster. Not just anyone can compare to a monster."
"Hey, Boss Xu, is it really okay for you to talk bad about me like that?" Jiang Han said with a smile.
"You brat, you talk too much today. Can't you just watch the game? Why are you talking so much?" Jiang Kun scolded with a smile from above, his smugness evident to everyone.
"Oh, I see," Jiang Han replied lazily.
Zhu Chang, Deng Kai, and the others were deeply moved when they saw Yu Ang unleash a level-three ice vine covering the area.
Seeing that Mo Fan was at a disadvantage against Yu Ang's level three ice vines, Zhu Chang spoke first: "Let's end the match here. If it continues, someone might die."
"Haha, how could that be? Fire mages aren't that easily frozen to death," Mu Zhuoyun replied calmly.
"Brother Zhuoyun, you're just going to make Mo Fan suffer a little, you won't freeze him to death, right?" Jiang Kun looked at Mu Zhuoyun with a smile. Mu Zhuoyun's expression was not good after his thoughts were exposed. How would the important people present think of him, Mu Zhuoyun, after Jiang Kun's words were spoken?
"This Yu Ang is indeed worthy of being the adopted son of Old Master Mu Zhuoyun. He can release level three ice vines at the age of eighteen."
"Actually, that kid named Mo Fan is quite good too, but in the end, Yu Ang, raised by the Mu family, is stronger."
"Ah, it's over, it's over. Get ready for the next duel. He even used the level three ice vines. That kid probably won't have any more chances."
Even Luo Yunbo, Mo Fan's former instructor, shook his head and sighed, saying, "Alas, Mo Fan is going to lose. If he had a magical artifact, the outcome probably wouldn't be like this."
"It can't be that simple. This kid definitely has some hidden trump cards." Zhan Kong narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the battle in the arena.
Zhan Kong didn't think that Mo Fan, who could be friends with a prodigy like Jiang Han, was a simple person. And indeed, just as Zhan Kong thought, Mo Fan had indeed hidden his strength. He had now reached the third level of the initial stage in both lightning and fire elements.
In the snow-covered battlefield, Mo Fan's fire magic was suppressed to the point that even the connection between stars was problematic, and the situation was somewhat dire. Yu Ang even mocked, "Useless, hahaha, your fire spells can't withstand my level three ice vines."
Mo Fan was surprised that Yu Ang had actually cultivated a level three ice vine. With the fire element stardust suppressed, Mo Fan struggled to maintain his almost frozen body and reconnect with the star. If he failed again, he might be completely frozen by Yu Ang's ice vine.
"I should have known better than to give Yu Ang the chance to unleash his third-tier ice vines."
"However, even so, I will absolutely not lose!"
One, two, three... seven stars successfully linked together to form a star orbit.
"Burn!" Intense flames erupted from Mo Fan's body, burning fiercely. The ice and snow in the air could no longer extinguish the flames, and even the ice and snow near Mo Fan's body were melted.
As he spoke, Mo Fan raised his hands above his head, and the fireballs gathered in his hands. When the fireballs were almost fully gathered, Mo Fan swung them and threw them at Yu Ang.
That ball of fire contained unparalleled penetrating power and heat; if the one-eyed wolf were hit by it, it would surely be burned to a crisp.
After Mo Fan released the ball of flame, the audience erupted in uproar. Most people did not expect that Mo Fan could still successfully complete the star link under such circumstances.
"Sizzle, Burst!!!"
"The temperature of that flame exceeded that of a level two flame; this, this, this is a level three flame!!!"
"I knew this kid wouldn't be defeated so easily, hahaha!" Zhan Kong laughed heartily.
"He actually reached level three." A hint of surprise appeared on Mu Ningxue's stunningly beautiful face.
Facing the fireball thrown by Mo Fan, Yu Ang smiled contemptuously, making no attempt to dodge. He crossed his arms in front of him to block, and with a huge explosion, Yu Ang was blasted away.
"Holy crap, Yu Ang actually dared to withstand a level three fire attack head-on? Is he courting death?" someone in the audience exclaimed.
"Impossible. I think Yu Ang must have some trump card, such as a defensive magical artifact."
"Sigh, it's rare to see a young talent like Mo Fan these days. It's even rarer to see a commoner like him who can fight on equal terms with the scions of powerful families."
Yu Ang does indeed have a trump card, just as some people say, and that trump card is his Armored Magic Tool!
After the flames subsided, Yu Ang's magnificent clothes were completely blasted beyond recognition. Although he was not killed by Mo Fan's fire explosion, he looked quite disheveled, a far cry from his previous spirited appearance.
"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting. I never expected that good-for-nothing son of that stupid driver could actually cultivate a beginner-level spell to level three. But even so, you still can't beat me. You'll always be trampled under my feet." Yu Ang stood up and lightly patted the ashes off his shoulder.
As he spoke, Yu Ang tore open his tattered clothes, revealing the exquisite armor and magical artifacts he was wearing underneath.
Damn, it's actually a magical armor! I knew that old bastard Mu Zhuoyun would pull something. I didn't expect him to make Yu Ang wear such an expensive magical armor. But does he really think that having magical armor will make him beat me, Mo Fan?
The audience erupted in chaos once again after seeing Yu Ang reveal the armor and magical artifacts hidden beneath his clothes.
The first to express dissatisfaction was Deng Kai from the Hunter Alliance, who said, "Mu Zhuoyun, you've gone too far. It's just a magical duel that young people would only see. You're making Yu Ang wear such expensive armor and magical tools. That's just too unfair."
"Does your Mu family have a problem with being sore losers? We could tolerate the magic-enhancing artifacts earlier, but now you've got an armor-enhancing artifact with super strong defense," Zhan Kong said, clearly dissatisfied.
Mu Zhuoyun said calmly, "If Mo Fan also had armored magical artifacts, I would definitely not stop him from wearing them. Besides, background is also part of strength."
"Brother Jiang, this old man Mu definitely can't afford to play this game, otherwise he wouldn't have made Yu Ang wear such expensive armor and magic equipment," Zhang Xiaohou, who was sitting relatively close to Jiang Han, said indignantly.
After Zhang Xiaohou finished speaking, the temperature where they were sitting suddenly dropped significantly, causing Zhang Xiaohou to shiver involuntarily. "What's going on? Why don't I feel cold?" Zhang Xiaohou rubbed his shoulders, feeling the cold.
"Ahem, say less." Jiang Han sensed the icy aura emanating from Mu Ningxue and quickly coughed a few times to signal Zhang Xiaohou to keep quiet so as not to provoke Mu Ningxue.
When Zhang Xiaohou realized what was happening, he quickly laughed awkwardly, "Haha, little princess, I didn't say anything just now, please don't take it to heart."
"Hmm." Mu Ningxue easily withdrew the icy aura emanating from her.
Zhou Min, Xu Zhaoting, Wang Sanpang, and the others were all quite indignant, but out of respect for Mu Ningxue, they couldn't say anything.
