Nelson took a step back. The Lightning Magic he was accumulating surged in all directions in the form of lightning orbs bouncing around rapidly in the air. Their paths were unpredictable.
Some of the lightning orbs were not heading toward Mo Fan at first, yet they might suddenly fly at him after their next bounce and fire lightning bolts at him like the thorns of a cactus.
Nelson was not worried when he saw Mo Fan using the Earth Element.
The Earth Element was effective against most Lightning Mages, but the lightning bolts of his lightning orbs could penetrate sturdy objects like needles!
“Why is Lecturer Nelson’s lightning different from ours? Why is his lightning as thin as needles?”
“It takes outstanding control to reshape the Lightning Magic into thin needles.”
“Its penetrative ability is ten times stronger than a normal lightning bolt!”
Nelson looked like he was focused on controlling the lightning orbs, but he was actually preparing the lightning needles that would pierce through Mo Fan’s defense once the lightning orbs exploded.
The lightning orbs would not just explode in front of Mo Fan. They might hover above Mo Fan or float behind him. They might even be hiding under the ground. Mo Fan would be drowned in lightning needles as the lightning orbs exploded continuously.
Even the strongest defense of the Earth Element would crumble to his Lightning Spell!
Mo Fan was surrounded by the Star Dust. The particles consolidated into a round shell that enclosed Mo Fan as soon as the lightning needles appeared.
However, the sturdy shell lasted for less than four seconds before holes began to surface across it. Mo Fan shuddered as the lightning needles pierced his skin.
If it wasn’t for his outstanding Lightning Resistance, the lightning needles that broke through his defense would have left him with holes!
Mo Fan’s Lightning Resistance was still not effective enough against the lightning needles. It was similar to a man throwing punches at him. The injuries he sustained were only minimal as long as his muscles were sturdy, but if his opponent was using needles, they could easily penetrate his flesh and puncture the blood vessels. He might even die if the needles punctured his vital organs!
Nelson was a strong opponent. It was extremely difficult to refine the Lightning Magic into such thin and sharp forms. Not only did it require outstanding control over the Lightning Element, he also had to practice diligently. Mo Fan could refine his Lightning into the form he intended in a short period of time, but his lightning would not retain a fixed shape like Nelson’s Lightning Magic.
“If I use the Shadow Element now, it means I’ve accepted my defeat,” Mo Fan clenched his teeth.
Mo Fan had decided to only use a single Element whenever his opponent switched to another Element. However, Mo Fan was still lacking some basic practice in his defenses. It was like a rider who was used to charging into the battlefield headfirst being reassigned to the role of a shield soldier. Mo Fan might be holding a high-quality shield in his hand, but his weaknesses were exposed against an experienced fighter.
The lightning needles kept stabbing Mo Fan after penetrating the Star Dust. It felt like a dozen Rong Momos were torturing him with their deadliest weapon from all angles!
{TL Note: Rong Momo is a fictional character in the TV show “My Fair Princess”. She’s well known for the meme of using a needle.}
