Mo Fan was not in a rush. The Preventive Committee had already allocated an expert to spy on Cheng Ying. All he needed to do was to improve his strength.
Being strong enough was the key to taking on the Black Vatican. Mo Fan once again realized how many extraordinary talents there were in the world after he fought Bei Jiang. Perhaps he might find himself in a dead end someday. Therefore, it was important to focus on becoming stronger, so he could handle any kind of situation when the time came!
Mo Fan went back to Guangzhou. Feng Zhoulong seemed to have something urgent to tell him.
Mo Fan initially thought Feng Zhoulong had learned some useful information from Xiao Ping after she recovered. To his surprise, Feng Zhoulong brought him to Canton Tower's basement instead.
Mo Fan did not know there was a spacious magic lab right under the tower. Feng Zhoulong turned out to be the head of the lab. He cautiously brought Mo Fan to a room separated by white steel plates.
Mo Fan stood in front of a transparent steel glass window. He could see a scorched corpse on an operating table in the room.
”Old Feng, did you really ask me to come all the way from Fujian to show me a burned corpse? And can you stop looking at me with glittering eyes? I'm starting to feel uneasy,” Mo Fan said.
Feng Zhoulong was an easy-going person, not really a Battlemage. He was more into researching magic, similar to Dean Xiao.
”Don't you recognize it?” Feng Zhoulong asked.
”Are you serious? Why are you expecting me to recognize something that disgusting?” Mo Fan said.
”Kid, it's Bei Jiang's corpse; you dragged it back here. You're the first person to drag a corpse into the Nanguo Magic Association. Do you have any idea how many civilians you scared back then?” Feng Zhoulong snapped.
”I only brought him back to serve justice for Leng Qing and the Lingyin Enforcement Union, I didn't ask you to keep it...” Mo Fan said.
”This Bei Jiang has something similar to you. Do you know what it is?” Feng Zhoulong hinted at him.
”Mr. Feng, I'll be leaving if there isn't anything else. I'm a busy man,” Mo Fan replied, rolling his eyes.
”Fine, I'll cut straight to the main point. Bei Jiang's Innate Talent is very similar to yours. He Awakened two Elements at the Basic Level; the Shadow Element and the Chaos Element. Most importantly, the two Elements shared the same Star Dust!” Feng Zhoulong exclaimed.
”Two Elements sharing the same Star Dust?” It was Mo Fan's first time hearing anything like it.
Elements were not compatible with one another. Even though many Mages in the Advanced Level and the Super Level were able to combine two spells into one powerful spell with enough control, it was only possible if the Mage could cast the spells within a short period of time, while preventing their energy from clashing with one another.
The simplest example was how Mu Ningxue was using both her Wind Element and Ice Element simultaneously to summon forth a strong tornado with icicles. It was only possible due to her outstanding control. They were actually different spells that she had skillfully combined into one.
However, according to Feng Zhoulong, Bei Jiang's Shadow Element and Chaos Element had merged into one, since they shared the same Star Dust. It was against the principles of scien… the principles of magic, or at least the basic principles that every student was taught over nine years of school. Those rules clearly stated that every Element could only have one Star Dust. It was an unamendable rule of magic!
”If he had Awakened two Elements that had merged into one, wouldn't that make it a new Element? Like the Shadow Chaos Element?” Mo Fan had to ask.
