Chapter 18 is ranked 5th!
"Next match, Mo Fan, Song Xia, Mu Nujiao, and Zheng Bingxiao, the four of you get ready." Gu Han happily decided on the participants for the second match.
With their first victory, everyone on Mingzhu's side beamed with a relieved smile.
They thought they would lose to the Imperial Academy, but they didn't expect that there was a mind mage in the team, which was a big surprise for them.
On the other hand, Lu Yiming knew that he absolutely could not lose the second match against Mingzhu.
So he sent out four people: Lu Zhenghe, Ming Cong, Xiao Feng, and Mu Ningxue.
Mu Ningxue's appearance amazed many people, with some even saying they would give up their family fortune for her beauty or abandon their cultivation.
"Gu Han, how about letting Xiao Yang go again?" Professor Qiu Yuhua suggested.
Upon hearing this, Gu Han hesitated.
Seeing this, Zheng Bingxiao said, "Then I'll give my position to Yang Guang. With him there, we'll win more easily."
Gu Han nodded and said, "Then... alright. Yang Guang, Mu Nujiao, Song Xia, and Mo Fan, it's the four of you."
……
When they saw that among the four people from Mingzhu Academy was a mind mage, the four people from the Imperial Capital Academy frowned in unison.
"We need to find a way to throw that mental mage down first!" Lu Zhenghe said.
"The key is how to throw it?" Mingcong asked. "That guy is definitely the backbone of the opposing team; everyone else will protect him to the death."
"Ignore everyone else, focus fire on that guy," Xiaofeng said.
……
"Sigh... I feel like we're going to be targeted by everyone." Yang Guang sighed.
Upon hearing this, Mo Fan laughed heartlessly, "Isn't that obvious... Don't worry, I'll protect you, your father."
"Fuck you!"
"Alright, you two stop arguing," Song Xia interrupted. "Let's think about how to protect Yang Guang and ensure he can use mind magic reliably."
"Isn't this pretty simple?" Mo Fan raised an eyebrow.
I wonder how capable my first wife is. Now it's time for me, the head of the household, to put her to the test.
"Ice Vines!"
Mu Ningxue took a few steps back, and icy white crystals slid down her fair palms.
With a gentle whistle, frost danced in the air.
The cold air instantly dissipated all the air here.
Frost, like ivy, densely covered the entire area covered with fine sand and gravel.
"A realm of ice?!"
Everyone was stunned.
I've never heard of a domain being associated with high-level mages or elemental beings below the Soul level.
"Damn it! Her domain completely controls me!" Song Xia's face changed.
Her flames were merely ordinary fire, and they would definitely be countered by a higher-level spirit-grade ice seed.
Unexpectedly, this woman's ice element also possessed a domain ability, meaning she wouldn't be able to unleash a single fire-type skill completely.
Song Xia was extremely unwilling to give up. She tried to draw a star map of the fire element, but it was a failure.
"That's alright, you still have the light element, just focus on providing us with shields." Yang Guang waved his hand.
Song Xia nodded; this was the only option now.
"Oh, trying to sneak in a contract summoning scheme? Did I give you permission?"
A profound shock!
In an instant, an invisible mental fluctuation struck Lu Zhenghe, who was hiding behind the crowd drawing a summoning star map.
In a moment of distraction, Lu Zhenghe's star trails snapped, and the star map he was drawing collapsed.
"Damn it!" Lu Zhenghe gritted his teeth.
"Thunder Seal - Wrathful Strike!" Ming Cong seized the opportunity and immediately released a low-level lightning spell.
"Well done!" Mo Fan stepped forward and offered himself to draw the lightning.
"To be used by me!"
"Thunder Seal!"
Mo Fan turned the lightning seal released by Ming Cong into his own power, and even denser lightning marks appeared on his body.
At his command, the doubled lightning seal returned along the same path and struck the four people from the Imperial Capital Academy.
"This guy's got guts!" Mingcong sneered. "Holy Shield..."
A profound shock!
Before Mingcong could finish drawing the star map, Yang Guang forcibly interrupted him with a mental shock.
"ah!!!"
Immediately afterwards, Mingcong was hit by double the lightning seal attack and collapsed to the ground on the spot.
Others were not greatly affected because they ran fast.
"Young man, we've been watching you for a while now. You want to draw a mid-level star map?" Yang Guang scoffed.
Seeing Mingcong convulsing on the ground, Mo Fan couldn't help but gasp.
"Holy crap, this mind magic is so damn cheating!"
"Among mages of the same level, those with mind magic are invincible in one-on-one combat," Song Xia explained.
"hiss!"
Mo Fan was utterly shocked. Invincible in a one-on-one fight?!
"Does that mean we can win this game without lifting a finger?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Song Xia looked at Mo Fan with a strange expression.
Mo Fan laughed and then summoned his Dark Wolf Beast.
"Call a helper, and you'll have extra insurance."
In a 5v3 situation, victory is assured!
The advantage lies with me!
The final outcome was quite simple.
Because of Yang Guang's mind-based abilities, the contestants from the Imperial Academy couldn't even unleash a single complete spell.
Finally, under the strong onslaught from Mingzhu Academy, they were quickly defeated.
No matter how strong Mu Ningxue is, it won't work; without a stable output, she can only passively take hits.
All I can say is that mind magic is practically a bug in the system.
Moreover, in order to show off, Mo Fan directly revealed his fire element and decisively defeated Mu Ningxue, causing the audience to gasp in surprise.
"Holy crap, Pearl Academy won so easily?!"
"They have a mind-control mage, so it's only natural that they won the match."
"That guy named Mo Fan is also a naturally dual-elemental mage. Are naturally dual-elemental mages so worthless now?"
"By the way, which aristocratic families do Yang Guang and Mo Fan belong to?"
"Who knows?"
"..."
Soon, news of the Imperial Academy's Waterloo spread like wildfire throughout the country.
The school leaders, in particular, could hardly believe their ears and eyes.
After listening to the details reported by Gu Han, Dean Xiao was extremely gratified.
At the same time, with the emergence of Yang Guang's mind-based magic and Mo Fan's fire-based magic, the name of those born with dual magic abilities spread among the major magic academies.
Soon, a fierce battle for talent erupted among magic academies across the country.
Those students who had nothing to do made a talent ranking list, and Yang Guang and Mo Fan were tied for fifth place for their innate dual-elemental abilities.
"No way, if someone with dual natural talents can only rank fifth, wouldn't the others be even more monstrous?" Zhao Manyan exclaimed, holding his phone.
"The world is so big, there must be a lot of amazing talents," Peng Liang said. "Being born with dual elements and ranked fifth is already pretty awesome. In all of China, there are quite a few young mages with strong talents. Let alone making it into the top five, making it into the top one hundred would be a challenge."
