516 Mo Fan versus Ding Yumian (2/2)
The young man seemed rather inexperienced with huge occasions like this. He looked quite nervous and excited, and seemed to have lots of questions, yet was not sure how to ask them.
---
As the two entered the dueling ground, Mo Fan realized that there were more spectators than he had expected. Almost every seat in every row was filled up.
There were duels every day, yet the place was pretty much empty when other students were participating in the duels. At times, there would only be one student as a spectator to testify to the outcome of the battle.
However, it was a different story for the duels that involved students in the top ten. Those were spectacular sights.
On top of that, the top ten students were highly respected outside of the school, too. Any change to the ranking would attract the attention of lots of people!
The barrier was established. Ding Yumian seemed to treat the duel more seriously than Mo Fan. She was already on the stage when Mo Fan arrived, like a beautiful white rose, innocent yet glamorous. Her hair that was tied up in a bun, with fringes hanging in front of her chest, every bit as attractive as usual!
If Mo Fan knew Ding Yumian was ranked tenth, he would have skipped her and challenged the ninth rank instead...
A beautiful woman would naturally have a weakening aura, stopping her opponent from being too harsh on her. Mo Fan was a man who had protective feelings for the fairer sex. He was aiming to get stronger by winning the duels, hence he preferred not to be restricted by his principles.
Most interestingly, it felt like Ding Yumian was able to read Mo Fan's mind. Her pale face wore a determined look as she said to Mo Fan, ”You better use all your strength.”
Mo Fan was astonished. Was his expression really so obvious? Or, was the woman so good at reading one's expression?
Mo Fan finally knew the reason when the duel began. His intention to go easy on the girl was gone instantly, as his expression was replaced by a stern look!
”Soul Impact!”
Ding Yumian was extremely fast at drawing her Star Pattern. The unique energy of the Psychic Element struck Mo Fan's mind fiercely while the judge's voice was still echoing in the noisy dueling ground.
Mo Fan initially planned to use his fourth-tier Lightning Strike to secure the advantage. To his surprise, his opponent was faster. The Soul Impact immediately interrupted his channeling, leaving him dazzled for around two seconds.
”Psychic Element, f**k me!” cursed Mo Fan.
Mo Fan had just learned how powerful the Psychic Element was a while ago. He never thought he would instantly bump into a powerful Psychic Magician in his first duel against someone in the top ten!
The scariest thing about a strong Psychic Magician was their casting speed. If her Soul Impact was faster than every Spell he had, he would never be able to cast an effective Spell throughout the entire battle!
Mo Fan's style was pure brute force. His outstanding Basic Spells had helped him to dominate opponents with similar strength to him. However, if he could not even finish drawing a Star Pattern, he was pretty much useless!
”Swift Star-”
”Soul Impact!”
”-Wolf...wolf, f**k me!”
Mo Fan immediately had a bad feeling.
Mo Fan was trying to summon the Swift Star Wolf to lift the burden of not being able to cast any Spell, yet he did not even have the chance to cast a Basic Summoning Spell!
He was seriously in a bad position!
