A teacher of magic theory was challenging a teacher of magic duels to a fight. It was actually quite impressive that the odds were only ten to one. It meant the students had been very impressed by his strength during the excursions.

“Let’s begin!” Chief Green proclaimed.

Nelson was a man of formalities, and did not attack Mo Fan right away. He was treating the fight as a chance to demonstrate the techniques he had just taught in the class.

He established a Wind Domain, and visible gusts of wind began circling him like gigantic eels. They were currently in a defensive posture, but seemed ready to lunge forward at the enemy and tear them into pieces at any second!

Nelson did not attack with the Domain. He was displaying his Seal-Tagging Magic to the students.

He gathered the Wind particles around Mo Fan. Nelson’s wind was turbid, so the Seal that was meant to be invisible on Mo Fan was surprisingly obvious. It looked like Mo Fan had just walked out of a sandstorm.

“I have also done a lot of experiments on Domains,” Mo Fan retained a confident smile even when he saw the obvious Wind Seal on him. He did not bother to dispel the Seal that had been attached to him.

“You will be running for your life like a white mouse in a cage!” Nelson raised his hand. A wind eel quickly left the whirlwind around him.

The wind eel sprang at Mo Fan when Nelson pointed. It was inches away from Mo Fan in the blink of an eye.

The wind eel was not actually flying. Its undulating body was made up of ferocious wind blades, fully capable of shattering the sturdy rocks along the ground, let alone human flesh!

“Students, he can only defend himself or dodge the attack, but my Seal is constantly updating me on his movements. I can even use the Seal to predict where he’s going next, allowing me to cut off his escape!” Nelson explained his intentions as he was making his move.

The first wind eel was just meant to probe Mo Fan to see if he was going to dodge the attack or defend himself.

If Mo Fan decided to defend himself, Nelson would send out a few more wind eels to attack him. If Mo Fan tried to dodge the spell, he would fall into the trap Nelson had set up.

Mo Fan remained unmoving with a calm smile.

Defend?

Dodge?

Why must it be either of those two?

How does he know his attacks are going to land at all?

Mo Fan’s eyes gradually darkened. It seemed like something was flowing in his eyes.

He fixed his gaze on the wind eel that was flying right at him.

The wind eel suddenly flew off at a different angle. It was initially going to knock Mo Fan into the air, but it suddenly flew upward when it was still a meter away from him!

If it went a step further, it would have hit him. It felt like the wind eel was just playing around. It had completely missed the attack!

“It missed?”

“He didn’t even move. How did the spell miss?”

Mo Fan did not move as the wind eel continued to fly higher into the air. It looked like Nelson had made a mistake after he miscalculated the distance between himself and Mo Fan.

Nelson frowned. He was explaining his moves to the students confidently a moment ago, but now he stopped talking.

It did not matter if the first wind eel had missed, as he still had a few more of them left. He used the same move again, since his opponent did not bother dodging or defending.

“Rise!” Nelson yelled. A few wind eels swiftly combined into a bigger wind version.

The gigantic wind eel was howling deafeningly. Nelson did not give Mo Fan any time to react. He immediately fired the huge wind eel at Mo Fan!

“Take this!” Nelson hissed.

Mo Fan remained unmoving as the wind eel sprang at him. He soon found himself in the middle of a sandstorm.

“Break!”

Mo Fan uttered only a single word. The gigantic wind eel suddenly broke into pieces, as if it had been struck by a powerful blow, when it was about ten meters away.

The gigantic wind eel split into smaller wind eels. The smaller eels missed Mo Fan by a meter or two as they streamed at him.

They were like a school of fish who just so happened to swim past Mo Fan without hurting him!

“What’s going on?”

“Did Lecturer Nelson drink before the class? Why does he keep missing his attacks?”

The students started discussing with one another. Nelson had missed his second attempt too, even though he was teaching the students how to improve the accuracy of their spells in the class. He had ended up embarrassing himself.

Nelson was also dumbfounded.

Normally, he could land ninety percent of his spells on a target who was evading at the speed of wind, let alone an unmoving target like Mo Fan.

He was able to control the path of the wind eels freely. He was sure the spells were going to hit Mo Fan, so why did they all miss?

Could it be that he’s a Wind Mage too? Did he alter the flow of my Wind Magic?, Nelson considered.

“Lecturer Nelson, since you are a Wind Mage, can you tell me how accurate my spells are?” Mo Fan grinned as he stomped the ground. Shards of rock immediately bounced into the air around him, like the fangs of huge beasts.

“Rock Fang Impale!”

The splinters sprang forward. Their speed increased continuously as they sped forwards.

Nelson dashed and dodged the shards to his left with ease.

Another shard plummeted from the sky. Nelson took a step back, and the stone tooth landed on the ground.

“You won’t hit me even if they have double the speed!” Nelson declared.

“You shouldn’t be so full of yourself. Look out!” Mo Fan warned him kindly.

Nelson looked ahead and noticed three splinters flying at him. They had sealed off his escape routes to his left, to his right, and above him.

Nelson was already on the move, backing away at the same speed as the stone shards.
