”So strong!” Zheng Jiahui glanced at Mo Fan in disbelief.

He initially thought Mo Fan's strength was not worthy to be placed at the hundredth rank, since he had to rely on his little trick to stop people from challenging him. Yet, when he saw Mo Fan had defeated almost thirty people with only Basic Spells, he could not help but have a different view of him.

When he recalled Mo Fan's furious words to him, he somehow felt like Mo Fan was going to keep his promise.

”Impossible, no way, he might be strong, but there's no way he can face two hundred challengers on his own. The ranking of the upcoming challengers would only get higher. Him defeating Jia Zhenlong doesn't mean he can handle the highly-ranked students continuously,” said Zheng Jiahui, shaking his head.

In Zheng Jiahui's understanding, no one could possibly fight two hundred people consecutively!

-----

After Jia Zhenlong, who had a Soul Seed, was defeated, the challengers suddenly became totally one-sided, which made Wei Rong very angry. He looked at the list of names, yet he was unfamiliar with all of them. He impatiently read the name of the next challenger, ”Xu Hongguang, ranked three hundred and thirty-first!”

Wei Rong no longer expected those ranked after two hundredth to defeat Mo Fan. As a matter of fact, he did not even expect them to force him to use his Intermediate Spells. He turned around and discussed some other topics with Bai Mei. Most importantly, he had no intention to see his students being crushed.

Suddenly, an uproar was heard coming from the crowd, as if something exciting were about to happen.

Wei Rong shifted his focus back to the duel. It turned out that the student called Xu Hongguang had concealed his true strength. Mo Fan was taken by surprise, and was forced to cast an Intermediate Spell.

The Star Pattern under Mo Fan's feet were brilliant, a pure blazing red. His figure was engulfed in flames with the same color.

The Fiery Fist was hurled forward. The scorching flames lunged at the student called Xu Hongguang.

It appeared that Xu Hongguang was wearing some magical armor, which perfectly resisted Mo Fan's Basic Spells. Even the Intermediate Fiery Fist's power was greatly reduced by it.

However, a brief while later, Xu Hongguang still lost the duel. That being said, the three hundred and thirty-first ranked student had given the crowd a great surprise. When everyone thought he was going to be defeated easily with Basic Spells, he had managed to force his opponent to cast an Intermediate Spell!

”How embarrassing, they've only forced him to use an Intermediate Spell. They are cheering as if he won the duel!” Bai Mei said with a smirk.

The smile on Wei Rong's face disappeared instantly.

On second thought, there was indeed nothing to be excited about. They had already sent out thirty-six challengers, yet they had only forced him to use an Intermediate Spell once. They should be embarrassed instead!

Humans were much the same. When they were being bullied to a certain degree, any improvement to the situation would bring comfort to them. Yet, when they thought about it, the situation was far from what they had hoped for.

”Who knew that this Xu Hongguang would be so impressive, he must have hidden his true strength for a very long time. Hopefully, someone ranked in the top two hundred will appear among the challengers. Someone has to teach this guy a lesson!” snapped Huang Xingli.

Ding Yuming glanced at Huang Xingli curiously and giggled, ”I thought you were worried about him? Why are you crusading against him together with the rest now? How can you be so wishy-washy?”
