With a loud crash, the flames of the giant fireball surged across the stage. The scorching heat crashed into the barrier and shook it hard, as if it was going to break into pieces at any second!

”What were you two doing!?” Captain Roberts snapped furiously.

Roberts immediately put the blame on Lucky Wang and Fred when he saw the two Maga on the team injured. They had failed to take out a single person after so long, they were simply being fooled around with like monkeys!

Fred was discomfited.

He did not expect it to come to this. Why were the other Elements of a Mage with the Summoning Element as his primary Element so strong?

”Err, should we take out the other Summoner instead?” Lucky Wang suggested.

They could not do anything to Mo Fan. Even when the two of them were flanking him, they were unable to figure out his weaknesses. At this rate, two of their teammates would be knocked out first!

”Damn it, let's take him out first!” Fred finally gave up under the pressure. He immediately switched targets and attacked Jiang Yu instead.

---

After the two left, Mo Fan slowly snuck closer to Ai Jiangtu and Roberts.

Mo Fan noticed that Roberts was only able to match Ai Jiangtu because the latter was not using his full strength.

It was only a duel against the team defending the Training Hall. If their captain exposed too much of his true strength, it would place them in an unfavorable position at Venice.

”Telekinesis!” Mo Fan hid by some of the earthen walls that were strewn around. His eyes emitted a silver flicker at the same time as Ai Jiangtu was using the Space Element.

The force went straight at Roberts' back. The man was totally unaware of the attack from a different source flanking him from behind. His confident step to the side suddenly pushed him straight into Ai Jiangtu's spell!

Robert immediately panicked. He tried to recover, but he was promptly caught in Ai Jiangtu's gravity space!

The silver rhomboid applied great pressure to Roberts. It felt like he was chained to a few iron balls, making it extremely difficult for him to move!

”Demon Torture!”

Ai Jiangtu was even quicker at casting Advanced Spells now. The evil silhouette of a devil suddenly appeared behind Roberts.

Roberts felt cold sweat pouring down his face as a sharp pain spread throughout his body. When he turned around, he was shocked to see the Cursed Devil tearing at his soul!

”You've lost!” Ai Jiangtu told him firmly.

Roberts clenched his teeth, as if he was trying to fight back against the executioner from the Demon Torture. However, his face only turned paler as the pain he experienced grew stronger.

He initially thought he could endure the pain, but he soon realized that he could not even speak. He would never be able to forget the pain he felt when his soul was being tortured. Only those with a strong mind were able to withstand it.

Ai Jiangtu knew Roberts would suffer unrecoverable injuries if he continued. He murmured a chant and called off the Demon Torture Curse.

Roberts was totally soaked in sweat, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was mentally exhausted. His face had a blank expression, like someone who had yet to fully wake up from a nightmare.

Some time later, Roberts finally lifted his gaze. The look in his eyes had slightly recovered.

”You've won,” he said with a contorted expression, and slowly left the stage.

Roberts knew Ai Jiangtu had gone easy on him. If the Demon Torture had kept going just a little longer, he would have been in huge trouble. His cultivation would be affected, too!

The Curse Element mainly targeted a person's soul. The damage dealt to a person's soul or mind was the hardest to recover from. Robert willingly admitted his defeat after he witnessed Ai Jiangtu's strength.

”You didn't need to help me. I finally found a worthy opponent that could help me with my warm-up!” Ai Jiangtu glanced at Mo Fan in dissatisfaction.

”...” Mo Fan was speechless. He replied seriously, ”It's supposed to be a team battle! Can you stop being arrogant for once? Let's hurry up and take out the rest of them so we can get the badge!”

”I'll leave the rest to you all,” Ai Jiangtu had no intention of continuing after defeating Roberts. If he continued to fight, the rest of the American team would only last for a few minutes longer.

”I guess I'll rest too!” Mo Fan replied with a shrug.

Little Flame Belle was keeping two of the Americans busy on her own. If Mo Fan joined the fight, the American team would be overwhelmed with despair.

That being said, the five members of the American team were indeed very strong. They were easily as strong as the national teams of some other countries...

However, they were too proud and arrogant at the start, and were showing off their winning streak, too. They had managed to provoke both Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu into taking part in the duel.

The truth was, the Chinese team only needed to send either Mo Fan or Ai Jiangtu with four other teammates to defeat the American team. The outcome was too predictable when the two monsters teamed up!

Little Flame Belle was basically taking on two of the Americans throughout the whole duel. She was still chasing after the golden-haired woman and the girl in a green shirt. Her Commander-level strength had left the American team in awe.
