He wasn't bragging; he had already eliminated two War General Level Bone Spike Demonic Wolves. The reason he was able to solo a War General Level demon like the Bone Spike Demonic Wolf was, of course, because his Thunder Element had successfully broken through to Intermediate Mage not long ago!
Although he hadn't fully controlled all 49 stars of his Thunder Element, Teacher Teacher Tang Yue's Book of Star Maps was a great help. With Teacher Teacher Tang Yue providing so much assistance and her foreknowledge, Mo Fan's secrets weren't really secrets to her.
In fact, he hadn't intended to hide this matter from Teacher Tang Yue in the first place.
Teacher Tang Yue was also incredibly shocked to learn that Mo Fan possessed the innate talent of a Twin Element user. Most importantly, this boy's Thunder and Fire Elements had both broken through to Intermediate Mage within three years.
It could be said that for a commoner to achieve such accomplishments, even the geniuses of those aristocratic families couldn't compare. Of course, even now, Teacher Teacher Tang Yue hasn't told anyone about this matter. Because for her, this was the trust of her proud student.
Teacher Teacher Tang Yue had once thought about recruiting Mo Fan into the Judgment Association.
With such talent, if he also had the cultivation of the Judgment Association...
But Mo Fan directly refused.
His reason, naturally, was that his growth required hunting demons to obtain remnants and spirits. At the same time, combat could continuously stimulate the growth of his Star Dust and Star Cloud.
Regarding this, Teacher Teacher Tang Yue said nothing more and instead respected his decision.
Join a faction?
It's impossible to join any faction in this lifetime.
"Fan Ge..."
Although Zhang Xiaohou had extreme faith in Mo Fan, they were ultimately just commoners.
"Don't worry, Monkey."
Mo Fan just patted his shoulder and didn't explain much further.
It wasn't surprising that Monkey found it hard to believe; in fact, if it were Monkey, he would also find it hard to believe. A commoner fighting against a family disciple would simply be a stepping stone.
Naturally, Zhang Xiaohou wasn't the only one worried about him.
Just as Yu Ang's coming-of-age ceremony was being celebrated like a grand festival in Bo City, Principal Zhu and Deng Kai finally couldn't help but call Mo Fan to the principal's office.
Mo Fan had met Deng Kai before; he was the one who stood up to help him, the Grand Elder of the Bo City Hunter Union, and his strength was even above that Intermediate Mage Magician named Yang Zuohe.
Although Principal Zhu didn't appear very often, Mo Fan had also met him.
"Mo Fan, there are some things we need to discuss seriously with you," Deng Kai said first.
Mo Fan nodded, and then Deng Kai recounted the details of every past sparring match with 'family' disciples. Of course, Deng Kai also mentioned how they had secretly kept an eye on Mu Zhuoyun to prevent him from making any small moves.
Mo Fan understood this in his heart and said seriously, "Thank you, two principals. I will definitely not disappoint you in this duel."
Regarding what Mo Fan said, the two exchanged helpless glances, and then Principal Zhu spoke at length about how the 'world' itself is not fair.
In the end, it was all to prevent Mo Fan from feeling too much pressure, to not mind too much even if he lost.
As the saying goes, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.'
And also, 'A gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years.'
In short, both principals, like Monkey, felt that he had no chance of winning.
Mo Fan said nothing about this; he still preferred to let facts speak!
Time passed quickly, and the Mu Clan was busily preparing within their manor.
"Mo Fan, Mo Fan!" A familiar middle-aged man called out to him.
"Dad, why are you here?" Mo Fan paused slightly upon seeing Mo Jiaxing.
When he had just arrived, although he hadn't personally witnessed Mo Jiaxing kneeling before Mu He, just recalling it made it clear how much hatred it had caused for the then sixteen-year-old 'Mo Fan'.
"I heard the school gave you a self-study day today, so I specially came to pick you up," Mo Jiaxing said, revealing a row of white teeth, his face full of simple smiles.
Mo Jiaxing was much darker and thinner; it was clear without thinking that he hadn't stopped working hard for the family for three years.
"Dad, you don't actually need to work so hard, and didn't I transfer a sum of money to you before?" Mo Fan asked.
However, Mo Jiaxing, like many 'parents', hadn't spent the money he gave him.
Mo Fan said nothing more about this. Because he didn't know what to say.
And like Monkey and the others, his father, Mo Jiaxing, didn't think Mo Fan could win, but he did think it was an opportunity to gain some face. In his opinion, not just anyone could be a stepping stone.
The Mu Clan's invitations had been sent out early, and the entire Mu Clan Manor was indeed filled with distinguished guests and prominent figures, which kept the workers living around the Mu Clan Manor extremely busy; even a single weed in a flowerbed had to be meticulously removed.
Mu Zhuoyun had truly put a lot of effort into this coming-of-age ceremony, making it seem like the entire Bo City needed to know about it.
Before, Mo Fan had actually thought that old man Mu Zhuoyun was relatively benevolent. But now, upon closer reflection, Mo Fan realized that this old man wasn't unwilling to play dirty behind the scenes. In fact, he didn't consider Mo Fan a threat at all. Mo Fan's defiance had, in a way, given him a pillow—an opportunity to completely suppress the academy's side.
But the laughable thing was that Mo Fan, whom he believed he could completely control, was simply not someone who could be deduced by common sense.
The moonlight was charming; the calm Bo City possessed the gentle elegance of a southern city, with the river flowing slowly around the city; mountains outside the city stretched endlessly.
Tomorrow was also an important day for Mo Fan. Not to prove anything, but simply because he wanted the Earth Holy Spring!
And at this moment, he was sitting opposite a nearly hundred-meter-tall World Trade Center building.
The reason he came here was to wait for someone.
As he waited quietly, footsteps echoed from the stairwell behind him, very regular and light. A somewhat chilly wind blew from behind, and Mo Fan knew who had arrived without needing to turn around.
"I asked Xin Xia, and she said you were here." The girl's clear, pleasant voice came over. If it weren't so cold, the voice would be as beautiful as silver bells in the snow.
"Are you also here to tell me that I'm not Yu Ang's opponent, to make me give up or run away?" Mo Fan turned and asked.
Mu Ningxue fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Yu Ang will be ruthless towards you. He is utterly obedient to my father; he will harbor intense hatred and fight to the death against anyone who causes even the slightest disadvantage to my father, even just a curse word."
Mu Ningxue continued, "Don't go tomorrow. Avoid this calamity, and go to the Magic University immediately. During your four years at the university, I will slowly gain control of the family's power. By then, when you return to Bo City, no one will be able to do anything to you."
Mo Fan turned to look at her and said directly, "So, you're worried about me?"
"I'm not—" Mu Ningxue, seeing Mo Fan look at her, instinctively turned her head away and said.
"If you're not being duplicitous, you can leave."
"You—"
Mu Ningxue frowned slightly upon hearing this. She was trying to help him so seriously, yet he was making such a joke. Did he not realize that by offending her father, there would be no place for Mo Fan in this Bo City!
