417 Next, Whos Next!? (2/2)
”Lin Gui was not foolish enough to not set up ANY defense. However, the armor he was wearing had no chance of resisting the power of a Fire Burst that was four times stronger than an ordinary Fire Burst. His Fire Burst has ranked up to the fourth-tier. It doubled the power of the Fire Burst, and together with his Soul Seed...” Liu Qian said with a smile.
Ding Yuming quickly came to a realization. Her eyes were looking at Mo Fan with great astonishment.
In the entire Fire School, those who had a Spirit-grade flame would be ranked close to the front. These better flames basically could not be beaten by someone using an ordinary flame.
However, in order to acquire a Spirit-grade flame from the school, one would need at least a year's worth of effort, not to mention that only those ranked high up would be given two pieces of a Fire Element Soul Seed.
As such, a Spirit-grade flame was considered rather extravagant to the students of the Fire School. Meanwhile, it was said that to cast a fourth-tier Basic Spell, one would need to strengthen all the seven Stars, and each star needing Soul Essences would cost around five million RMB.
”To rank up to the fourth-tier Fire Burst, he would need thirty-five million RMB. The money alone could get you two Soul Seeds. I never thought someone would actually spend their money like that!” said Liu Qian.
Ding Yuming nodded slightly. Regardless of one's background, she had never heard any disciple with a background formidable enough to have achieved the fourth-tier of their Basic Spells.

”What are you waiting for, call the next one!” Mo Fan yelled at Wei Rong.
Wei Rong collected his thoughts and called the next person's name with a long face.
Where exactly did this kid come from? Even he, an Advanced Magician, was not willing to rank up his Basic Spell to the fourth-tier, but an Intermediate Magician was already so extravagant...
”Next please...”
Soon, the next challenger walked to the stage. The person was ranked fairly low, over nine hundred. It was obvious that he had followed the crowd to sign up for the challenge, too. He was not too strong, so he had no chance against Mo Fan's special Fire Burst.
”Next please...”
The next one was a student ranked four hundred and twenty-seventh, a female student whose primary Element was Fire, with the Earth Element as her secondary Element.
The defensive abilities of the Earth Element helped her to dodge Mo Fan's attacks at the start. Yet, to preserve his limited energy, Mo Fan chose not to use his Intermediate Magic. He realized that his opponent would be quite troublesome to deal with. After a slight hesitation, his left hand summoned the Lightning Mark when his opponent slightly lost her focus.
The Lightning Mark struck suddenly as the female student was trying to dodge the unexpected Fire Burst. It quickly paralyzed her.
She could no longer move freely. Mo Fan immediately blasted her down from the stage with a close-range Fire Burst. She did have defensive equipment, yet the blast of the Fire Burst was still enough to knock her flying.
The female student landed with disheveled hair. She stared at Mo Fan in disbelief.
Mo Fan was quite cunning when he cast the Lightning Strike. He utilized the explosions of the flames to pull a surprise attack on her.
”Next!” snapped Mo Fan furiously, whose anger had yet to disappear.
