”Such an annoying Electric Field, my Ferocious Ant Scorpion can't get close to him!”
Dongfang Ming was anxious now.
Back at Hangzhou, he had been destroyed by this guy's fourth-tier Basic Spell. Now that he was being challenged by him in a ranking battle, he felt like the fight was even harder!
Dongfang Ming had purposely traded his Wing Equipment for an outstanding suit of armor to prepare himself for the duel, as it served as a guarantee that he would be able to face Mo Fan's Basic Spell.
However, not only did Mo Fan not use his Fire Spell, he had used his fourth-tier Lightning Strike to create an Electric Field. Dongfang Ming's second Element was the Summoning Element, yet it was completely useless against Mo Fan!
His Ferocious Ant Scorpion was a unique Summoned Beast.
The fighting ability of a single Ferocious Ant Scorpion was similar to that of a Servant-class creature, but even a Warrior-level creature would have to back off when fighting against a pack of Ferocious Ant Scorpions.
Dongfang Ming's Contracted Beast was the Ferocious Ant Scorpion Warrior. Its strength was nothing outstanding, but he was able to summon more than twenty of them at once to attack his target.
It was basically Dongfang Ming's trump card, one that he had prepared specifically to fight against Mo Fan...
Unfortunately, he did not realize that Mo Fan was not afraid of a group fight.
The fourth-tier Lightning Strike was basically a tiny Domain. Mo Fan was able to abuse the Electric Field to prevent himself from being flanked back when he fought the Giant Lizards. The number of the Ferocious Ant Scorpions was not as great as the Giant Lizards, hence there was no reason for Mo Fan to be afraid!
”The nineteenth rank is mine!” A smile blossomed on Mo Fan's face.
”Thunderbolt!”
He pointed his finger at the sky, triggering a thunderbolt to descend out of nowhere and strike Dongfang Ming's ocean blue armor.
The lightning blasted the thick armor open. Arcs splintered into the surroundings. Dongfang Ming's height somehow shortened; he turned out to have dropped to his knees from the overwhelming impact!
Dongfang Ming's legs were trembling badly. The armor had already blocked a few Lightning Strikes for him, and had finally gone over its limit. The energy of the lightning penetrated his body through the gaps of the armor. He could feel his bones almost falling apart!
He could not accept his defeat. Dongfang Ming initially thought he could redeem himself from the humiliation he had suffered in Hangzhou, yet he had lost once again!
The truth was, Dongfang Ming had an innate talent, which allowed him to draw Star Patterns for the Fire Element twice as fast as ordinary Magician. It was a huge advantage for him, which together with his rich background was enough to secure him a spot in the top three in Pearl Institute. However, he was stuck at rank nineteen instead.
After losing the battle, he had no choice but to hand over his nineteenth rank. Meanwhile, his rank dropped all the way to forty-fifth!
”That lazy prick lost, just as I thought,” smiled a young man in the spectator seats.
”Dongfang Lie, how long will it take for you to defeat this Double Innate Elements guy?” said Zhou Shuming beside him.
Dongfang Lie raised his head as if he were in a deep thought. A few seconds later, he finally spoke up, ”Based on what he has shown until now… probably one or two rounds of attacks.”
