Gao Qiaofeng's whole body began to shiver, and the expression on his face was almost frozen.
From his vantage point, Mo Fan's location was like a fan-shaped area radiating to the east. The dueling ground, the mountain walls, and the barren hills further away had all been reduced to ashes!
Meanwhile, the instructor Shou Watani, who was supposed to be on par with Mofan, was floating in the air. He finally landed on the ground after the ground was completely destroyed. His legs were weak, and he was soaked in sweat. He had to rely on his willpower to prevent himself from falling to the ground miserably!
Mochizuki Chihaya was dumbfounded, too. She did not expect the duel to come to an end so soon. She looked at Mofan as if she was looking at a complete stranger, yet it was him, and he was still wearing a casual smile on his face.
Many people were still lingering on the spectator stands. Everyone was panicking, as if they had just survived a great disaster. Luckily, Mofan's back was facing them, and Mofan was pointing at a deserted area. Otherwise, it would have been a disaster.
How strong did a person have to be to be able to produce such terrifying damage with a simple hand gesture? Wasn't the person who had come in first place in the World College Tournament in the past? Wasn't he extremely rare in the entire world?
"I'm sorry, I've just finished cultivating in seclusion. I'm still not familiar with my strength," said Mofan calmly, glancing at Shou Watani.
Shou Watani stood there. A minute ago, his heart was surging wildly, as if he had found the same feeling he had when he was traveling around the world and fighting passionately in Venice. He finally had the chance to fight the strongest person in the world, to make up for his biggest regret …
It felt like he had fallen into a bottomless abyss of despair. The bright light was rapidly fading away as he closed his heart. Only a stronger presence of darkness was whipping him.
Why was the difference so huge?
It had only been a few years. Even if Mofan was undeniably the strongest, it did not make any sense for things to turn out this way.
He couldn't even take a single blow from the other party, and he still needed the other party to be merciful. Otherwise, his physical body would very likely be destroyed like that barren mountain!
"Should we continue?" Mofan asked.
"I, Shou Watani, concede defeat." How could Shou Watani not know his place?
There was no need to continue. The gap between the two of them could no longer be bridged with another round. Their cultivation bases were no longer on the same level. Even their realms were no longer on the same level.
Shou Watani always thought he had worked hard to achieve the Super Level with three Elements. He was considered one of the best among the younger generation in Japan, but he now realized that the slight difference he had made during the World College Tournament would only make him fall further behind in the future. He would never have the chance to surpass the gap again.
Shou Watani had lost his will to fight, and his eyes were dim.
In fact, it was not an easy thing to go from having a high fighting spirit to accepting such a fact in such a short time.
…
Just like that, the duel ended unexpectedly.
When they arrived at the restaurant, everyone sat together to eat. The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Mofan, on the other hand, enjoyed his meal. He never had any resistance to delicious food.
"Err, I'm still an instructor here. Why didn't you fight a few rounds with me if you've reached that level? You're making it difficult for me to continue the lesson," Shou Watani could not help but whisper to Mofan.
"I already told you, I've just come out from my seclusion. I've already gone easy on you," replied Mofan.
Shou Watani let out an awkward smile. He did not know what to say.
The other students were seated at another table. They could see Mofan wolfing down his food. However, in their eyes, Mofan was like a monster, especially Takahashi Kaede and Mochizuki Chiye.
Mofan's strength had given them a huge shock.
How could they possibly surpass him?
"Chiye, come here," said Mochizuki Chihaya.
Shou Watani quickly waved at Takahashi Kaede, signaling him to come to the instructor's table.
Yong San shamelessly took a seat too.
"Allow me to introduce you, this is Mofan. You must have met him at the dueling ground, right? Mofan, this is my brother, Chiye. He's quite immature. I hope you can teach him some lessons in the next few days. I'll be very grateful, "said Mochizuki Chihaya.
"Not really, I'm only here to accompany her on a trip to Japan. She's just enrolled in university, so she's very playful." Mofan pointed at Ling Ling.
Mofan did not tell Mochizuki Chihaya his real purpose of coming here, as he was still unsure of many things. He simply used Ling Ling's trip as an excuse.
"Either way, it's good for the boys who haven't traveled far yet to talk about their experiences." Mochizuki Chihaya acted like an elder sister. It was obvious that she cared a lot about Mochizuki Chiye, and hoped that he could grow up.
Mochizuki Chihaya arranged a place for Mofan and Ling Ling to stay in the West Guard Pavilion.
Mofan frowned as soon as they entered the house. He stopped Ling Ling, who was about to take a hot bath.
"What's wrong?" asked Ling Ling.
"Something's not right. I felt a strong presence when I first entered the West Guard Pavilion. The Essence Orb was also telling me that there's a strong dark energy here. But after dinner, the strange presence disappeared, and the Essence Orb did not react at all," said Mofan.
"Does that mean Yiqiu the Red Fiend has sensed your presence?" guessed Ling Ling.
"That's possible, but we didn't really come into contact with Yiqiu the Red Fiend. After all, most of the people we came into contact with were his clones," said Mofan.
"Then it must be because he's afraid of you, which is why he's holding back his presence. Or maybe the strength you've displayed just now made him wary," said Ling Ling.
"Even so, he won't leave this place. The day of his' Ascension 'is coming soon. The Red Fiend is an evil spirit that needs to rely on a person. I think he might be possessing someone now. No, I should say that he's pretending to be someone, just like how his clones were pretending to be someone from the Lu Family … "said Mofan.
"I think so too. It's most likely one of the people in the West Guard Pavilion, but who could it be?" Ling Ling was also thinking about the same thing.
They knew about Red Fiend's parasitic method. He wasn't a pure ghost, but he had to rely on someone to survive. It was like parasitizing that person, controlling their thoughts, stealing their memories, and even perfectly acting as that person's identity.
