Chapter 43 Jiang Han VS Mu Ningxue
"Brother Jiang Kun, you've really done a great job raising him! You have no idea that Jiang Han is already an elite hunter at such a young age. If I had that skill, I wouldn't have to worry about my son," Deng Kai said with considerable emotion.
Jiang Kun waved his hand and said modestly, "Oh, don't talk about my son. I haven't really taken care of him. He's just lucky to have reached his current level of cultivation."
"By the way, Brother Zhuoyun, how about we make a bet?" Jiang Kun asked Mu Zhuoyun with a smile.
"Alright, let's take this shield magic item as the prize for the duel between the two of you." Without thinking, Mu Zhuoyun took out a small shield magic item and placed it on the square table. He was quite confident in his daughter's strength and did not think Jiang Han would be a match for her.
After all, his daughter's talent was highly valued by the main family. Although Jiang Han had some connection with the main family, he did not believe that Jiang Han's talent was superior to Mu Ningxue's. If that were the case, Jiang Han would have been taken away long ago.
Jiang Kun smiled and said, "Alright, since Brother Zhuo Yun has already brought out his shield magic item, I can't be too stingy. I'll offer a piece of armor magic item. This Azure Cloud Armor is one that I recently had someone make."
"This Azure Cloud Armor is quite nice. I'll thank Brother Jiang Kun for his kindness on behalf of Ning Xue in advance," Mu Zhuoyun said with a forced smile.
Jiang Kun ignored him and turned to Deng Kun, Zhu Chang, and Zhan Kong, shouting, "Do you guys want to place some bets?"
"Oh, you can place bets? I'll bet on Jiang Han then, I'll bet three million," Zhan Kong said cheerfully.
If you were to ask who he saw most at Tianlan Magic High School, it would definitely be Jiang Han, followed by Mo Fan.
Deng Kai and Zhu Chang exchanged a glance and each said, "I'll also bet on Jiang Han, I'll bet 500,000."
"Ahem, I'm also betting on Jiang Han. Brother Zhuo Yun, Jiang Han is undoubtedly the most talented student in our Tianlan Magic High School this year. Betting on Ning Xue would be a bit inappropriate, so I'll bet less, maybe a million." Zhu Chang coughed and awkwardly placed his bet. He and Mu Zhuo Yun had some connection.
Mo Fan came from the dueling arena to the audience seats and sat in the spot where Jiang Han had sat before, quietly waiting for the duel to begin.
"Hey, Fan-ge, who do you think will win, the little princess or Jiang-ge and the others?" Zhang Xiaohou leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Mo Fan chuckled and said, "It should be Jiang Han. It'll be very difficult for Ning Xue to beat him."
"Heh, Miss is a specially recruited student from the Imperial Academy. Even if Jiang Han is a prodigy, he's no match for her," Mu Bai mocked.
"That's right, that's right. Mu Ningxue is the most famous genius in our Bo City. Even if Jiang Han is a prodigy, he can't possibly be a match for Miss Mu Ningxue." Zhao Kunsan chimed in.
"Yes, Mu Ningxue is a famous genius in Bocheng. Is Jiang Han really a match for her?" Zhou Min said with some concern.
In the dueling arena, Mu Ningxue stared at Jiang Han and said calmly, "Show me your full strength, don't hold back!"
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Jiang Han said casually.
A flash of sky-blue starlight appeared on Mu Ningxue's body, and the air in the dueling arena dropped again, as if it were the dead of winter. Snowflakes even fell from the sky, and the biting cold could freeze a person into an icicle in an instant.
This cold is so deep it chills you to the bone; it can even freeze the air!
"Ice Vines - Cover!"
Crack! Crack! Crack! The frozen layer on the ground spread towards the distant Jiang Han.
Faced with the spreading ice, Jiang Han remained expressionless. With a gentle wave of his right hand, a crystal-clear ice wall appeared in front of him, easily blocking the approaching ice.
Boom! A loud impact rang out.
An unexpected event occurred. After Jiang Han blocked the ice vines that were empowered by the spirit seed, a look of surprise flashed in Mu Ningxue's eyes.
She was born with an ice-type spirit seed, and with the blessing of the ice-type spirit seed, she had never met an opponent among ice-type mages of the same level in the Imperial Capital Academy. Unexpectedly, she achieved a draw with Jiang Han this time.
"Do you really think you're the only one with an ice-type spirit seed?" Jiang Han chuckled inwardly.
Jiang Han now possesses dual ice and lightning spirit seeds, far surpassing ordinary ice and lightning abilities. He handles Mu Ningxue, who also possesses an ice spirit seed, with considerable ease.
"Ice Vines - Cover!!!"
Jiang Han waved his right hand, unleashing a layer of dark blue ice that spread towards Mu Ningxue. Mu Ningxue thought to herself, "It seems Jiang Han has made considerable progress in the past two years. She would be very happy if she knew."
"Wind Tracks, Drifting Shadows!"
A blue hurricane appeared beneath Mu Ningxue's feet. Before Jiang Han's ice vines could cover her, Mu Ningxue vanished in her original spot as a blur.
Not long after Mu Ningxue was specially recruited by the Imperial Capital Academy, she broke through from a novice mage to a mid-level mage.
Her second awakening was in the wind element. With the support of a spirit-grade stardust magic artifact, she has now reached the third level of the initial stage of wind magic. In a few more months, she will be able to break through to the intermediate stage of mage.
"Ice Vines - Freeze!!"
Mu Ningxue waved her right hand, and a sky-blue starlight flashed, causing ice to begin to condense beneath Jiang Han's feet.
A chill suddenly spread from Jiang Han's feet to his entire body, causing him to shiver involuntarily. He thought to himself, "Should I use Kun Lei to enhance my lightning element?" But then he thought, "Never mind, I shouldn't use Kun Lei. It would be too inhuman of me to actually hurt her."
"Thunder Seal - Python Mark!!"
Purple arcs of electricity coursed across Jiang Han's body. With a flick of his right hand, Jiang Han unleashed several purple arcs of electricity that coalesced into pythons, attacking Mu Ningxue, who was dodging the ice vines. The ice that had been frozen in the arena was blasted apart by the pythons' attacks, sending ice fragments flying everywhere.
"Holy crap, Jiang Han is too ruthless! He actually used the Thunder Seal to attack Miss Mu Ningxue."
"Yes, it's absolutely inhuman. Miss Mu Ningxue is so beautiful, how could Jiang Han do that?"
Watching Jiang Han use the Thunder Seal to chase and bombard Mu Ningxue, Zhang Xiaohou could tell that Mu Ningxue was at a disadvantage. With some concern, Zhang Xiaohou asked, "Brother Fan, will the little princess be alright?"
"Jiang Han should have been careful with his actions; he shouldn't have hurt Ning Xue," Mo Fan replied calmly after a moment's thought.
Zhou Min exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, Jiang Han is so amazing! He even suppressed Mu Ningxue, the genius of Bocheng!"
"Is this the gap between us? I won't give up. Sooner or later, I will surpass you." Xu Zhaoting said with a determined look on his face, his fists clenched.
Jiang Kun sighed and said, "Sigh, this brat doesn't even know how to go easy on her. It would be terrible if he hurt Ning Xue."
Mu Zhuoyun snorted coldly and said nothing, but his face was quite ugly. Deng Kai, Zhu Chang, Zhan Kong and the others all had smiles on their faces. They all valued Jiang Han, this junior, quite a bit. Now that Jiang Han had shown such strength, were they happy for Jiang Han?
In the dueling arena below, the battle between Mu Ningxue and Jiang Han continues.
Boom! A purple lightning bolt struck the ice, and in an instant, ice shards flew everywhere. Mu Ningxue's figure disappeared from its original position again, and when she reappeared, she was not far behind Jiang Han.
"Ice Lock - Bone Crusher!!"
The ice-based star map beneath Mu Ningxue's feet was completed in an instant. The frozen ground of the duel arena cracked, and ice chains flew out from the cracks, heading straight for Jiang Han's back.
