Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 116 The Three-Step Tower Belongs

Time goes back to one minute ago.

"Huff, huff, huff~" On one side of the iron cage, Li Yu's long sword hit the empty space again, using the wind track continuously. Even the basic magic needed a break.

At the other end of the fighting cage farthest from Li Yu, Mo Fan’s smug figure emerged from the shadows.

"Li Yu, you can just give up and give me one day of the Three-Step Tower. You have a full seven days to practice."

Mo Fan's tone was very firm and relaxed, but his panting appearance fully exposed his spent force.

After several minutes of high-intensity dodging, the mind was always tense. Even though Mo Fan was born with strong dual mental power, he could not bear it.

"You wish!"

Li Yu pointed his long sword.
"You bastard, if I don't chop you down today, I'll be wasting the money I've paid to practice magic."

"So? Can you hit me?"

Mo Fan looked very relaxed as he leaned against the edge of the iron cage. Although he spoke arrogantly, he actually never left the shadows, as if he was ready to escape at any moment.

Li Yu unwillingly began to chase him again. Mo Fan continued to flee, turning into a shadow and running around in the cage, using verbal attacks as he fled.
"Li Yu, don't be so angry. There's only one minute left. Can't we just be friendly?"

"Oh my, I'm too anxious..."

"..."

Relying on the right time and place, Mo Fan's ridicule seemed very shameless, and even the audience and students outside the venue couldn't bear to watch it.

"That's fucking cheap."

I don't know which student couldn't help but say this, and then won unanimous approval from everyone.

At this point, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Mo Fan was simply relying on the fact that it was late at night and there were many shadows in the iron cage, and that his shadow-escaping speed was comparable to teleportation, in order to avoid Li Yu's attack.

Relying on the rules of the game, he kept stalling for time and had no desire to attack at all. All his magic was just for the purpose of running and going around in circles.

If it was any other time, such as during the day or in a place with more light, Mo Fan would be hacked to death by Li Yu in a matter of minutes.

Even so, Mo Fan still didn't change his bad mouth and kept mocking people as if he didn't care about the cost.

"Okay, okay, you were the one who didn't respect me first, so don't blame me for not giving you some face."

Seeing that the five-minute time limit was approaching, Li Yu knew that under such circumstances, it would be impossible for him to catch up with Mo Fan in this state by relying solely on the wind track.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and then the wind track rushed forward again. Nine phantoms appeared in various places in the iron cage. Mo Fan, who gradually adapted to Li Yu's rhythm, found a place with the most shadows and escaped. He reappeared after a while.

The moment Mo Fan showed up, a cold light flashed in Li Yu's eyes.
"Telekinetic Claw!"

The mental power combined with the spatial magic energy surged out and transformed into an invisible spatial hand, which imprisoned the unsuspecting Mo Fan and then threw him towards itself.

The next moment, Feng Gui started moving. Li Yu was about to reach out and grab Mo Fan, but a large shield suddenly appeared in front of the latter. It was the Mingli Shield, one of the magic tools obtained from the Pearl Academy at the welcome ceremony.

In response, Li Yu quickly drew his sword and cut off the shield with one blow, then continued to slash at Mo Fan.

Seeing that his Dark Shield did not cause any hindrance to Li Yu, Mo Fan also became ruthless.
“Thunder Seal…”

Just as he was about to say half of his words, Li Yu grabbed his hand that was about to release lightning, and swung Mo Fan around to do the same thing as the Phantom Wolf Beast.

"Oh!"

"Roar!"

"call out!"

First there was the sound of Mo Fan being smashed to the ground in the iron cage, then there was the sound of Mo Fan vomiting after being hit hard, and finally there was the sound of the Tang sword stabbing into the ground near Mo Fan's neck.

The outcome is decided!

Seeing this, all the students present who were unhappy with Mo Fan cheered immediately. In comparison, Li Yu, the guy who intercepted in public, didn't seem so hateful.

After all, with the speed Li Yu showed in the battle just now, even if he got into a melee, he would most likely be the ultimate winner.

And Mo Fan...

Due to the rancor and bad reputation of the Orientation Conference, it is estimated that there will not be many supporters in the Qing campus.

……

"Old Li, your wind department has produced a good seedling this time!"

"Yes, yes. I didn't expect that the second magic department awakened by this student Li Yu was actually the space department. Such a rare and powerful magic department has a bright future!"

"Thank you everyone."

Li Ye, director of the Wind Department, almost laughed his eyes out. Just now, a string of silver star tracks appeared around Li Yu. How could the teachers not see that fleeting light? It was clearly the star tracks of the Space Department.

Space system, how rare!
If there are still a few new students in the Summoning Department every year, then the Space Department depends purely on one's good deeds. If you're lucky, one or two will pop up, but if you're unlucky, it's common for Mingzhu to not find a single Space Department student in several years.

If it were just rare, it would be fine. What’s more important is that the space system is strong enough and its functions are comprehensive!

The powerful, rare and all-powerful Space System is the dream of all magicians. "More importantly, the Space System does not conflict with this kid's combat system. It can even be a reinforcement. It combines offense and defense. When combined with the Wind System, it is even more unpredictable. Even if he goes the assassin route, he should be able to carve out a niche."

"Hey, how can you choose the assassin route? In my opinion, it is better to major in the space system. The power of dimensional magic is beyond doubt."

"No, I think..."

Just when the teachers were arguing over Li Yu's exposed spatial system,
"Haha~"

Dean Xiao suddenly chuckled, and all the teachers quieted down, ready to listen to the dean's teachings.

Dean Xiao didn't say much, but just said lightly,
"Teachers, please don't forget that we at Mingzhu never actively interfere with the development direction of our students. We can only give timely guidance when our students encounter confusion in their practice."

"I know that you teachers are eager to help talented people, but you must not force them to grow."

Dean Xiao's words made the teachers present blush. Yes, a student from the Space Department actually made them let down their dignity. It was really a shame to the teacher ethics requirements of Mingzhu Academy.

"Well, now that this competition is over, we old guys should give the students a result."

"Yes."

All the teachers responded in unison.

Just when the students were still discussing the scene just now, a group of mentors headed by Dean Xiao appeared in the iron cage. All the mentors from the Qing campus appeared in unison. This was also the last chance for the students from the Qing campus to see such a scene. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and stare at the powerful group of mentors.

"Congratulations, the main campus assessment was successfully completed tonight!"

Dean Xiao's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by every student.

Hearing the announcement of the end of the assessment, the students surrounding the iron cage felt depressed but not too unwilling. After all, they at least watched a good show in the end, except for the Luo Song Five who had their spoils intercepted. Their faces turned red when they heard the result.

"Now let me announce that the first place in this assessment is student Li Yu and his team."

"Congratulations."

Dean Xiao looked kindly at the slightly nervous Li Yu, and the surprised and confused Li Ming, Xu Zhaoting and Zhang Lulu who followed behind him.

"You and your teammates will each have a chance to enter the Three-Step Tower for training. The training time for others is seven days, and your training time is eight days."

"Thank you, Dean."

Li Yu and the other three bowed in unison.
"No need to thank me, this is all earned through your own hard work. It's yours, so there's no need to be modest."

Then, Dean Xiao looked at the other three people jokingly and said,

"Of course, you three little guys have chosen your teammates well and have good vision."

The three people who watched the show the whole time and did nothing could only smile dryly under the envy, jealousy and hatred of countless people. This is what pie falling from the sky is like.

"The second place is Team Luo Song, who will find the Shadow Beast and bring it to the vicinity of the fighting cage."

After hearing this news, even though Luo Song and the others looked unhappy, they could only step forward and bow to accept the magic weapon.

However, the second place, which was considered a good result, brought complicated looks to the eyes of both the winners and the onlookers. Compared with the Three-Step Pagoda, this so-called magic weapon was not worth mentioning at all.

"The third place goes to Mo Fan and his team who fought with Li Yu until the very end in front of the beast fighting cage."

No one had much objection to the third place award. If Mo Fan hadn't blocked the iron cage in advance, Li Yu might have easily locked the shadow beast in the cage and taken the reward.

Even if the result is not bad now, at least people have tried their best.

After being treated by the healing instructor, Mo Fan, who was still dizzy, was helped up by his teammates Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu. The achievement of being surrounded by women that he had been pursuing so hard was realized after he became an injured player.

As for this reward, Mo Fan held the idea that if he could get one, it would be a win, no matter what. Mu Nujiao was still immersed in the shock brought by Li Yu and Mo Fan today, and was a little absent-minded.

Only Ai Tutu still had that naive and silly look. He happily accepted the fact that he got third place without doing anything. He didn't care about the prize or not. He was just very happy to get third place.

As for the judging of the fourth to tenth places, it was a difficult task for the teachers.

Thanks to Li Yu's operation, except for Luo Song and others who found the shadow monster, no one else even touched a single hair of the monster.

It was originally thought that a huge melee would inevitably break out. If Mo Fan hadn't blocked the door for a short period of time, Li Yu would have almost been able to rush in.

The mentors were unable to make a fair decision in the short term and could only announce that the award list would be announced in a few days.

As the students and instructors dispersed, the grand main campus assessment ended in a whimper.

"You kid! Just wait for me from now on. I will fight back sooner or later... Ouch, it hurts!"

Mo Fan came in front of Li Yu and made some harsh remarks, but he was tortured by pain halfway through.

Hearing Mo Fan's harsh words, Li Yu just smiled maliciously, and then poked the bruise that had not been treated by the teacher with his hand under Mo Fan's eyes that said "you are not a human being".

"I'll wait." Li Yu smiled happily.

"Ow!"

A burst of ghostly howling broke out in the iron cage of the fighting beast.
