"That goddamned Lightning Strike Field, how dare he give in? The Ferocious Ant Scorpions can't even get close to him! "
Dongfang Ming was extremely annoyed.
Back in Hangzhou, Dongfang Ming had been utterly defeated by a fourth-tier Basic Spell. Now that he was facing a challenge from this guy, Dongfang Ming felt like he was having a harder time than before!
In order to prepare himself for the duel, Dongfang Ming purposely replaced his Wing Equipment with the best Armor, just so he could take on Mofan's Basic Spell.
However, Mofan did not use his Basic Spell this time. Instead, he used the fourth-tier Lightning Strike to create a Lightning Strike Field. Dongfang Ming's second Element was also the Summoning Element, but it was completely useless against Mofan.
The Ferocious Ant Scorpions were a very unique Summoned Beast.
A single Ferocious Ant Scorpion was as strong as a Servant-class creature. However, if a group of Ferocious Ant Scorpions were to attack at once, even a Warrior-level creature would have to back off.
Dongfang Ming's Contracted Beast was a Ferocious Ant Scorpion General. Its strength was only average, but it could Summon more than twenty Ferocious Ant Scorpion Slaves to surround and hunt down its target.
It was Dongfang Ming's trump card. He had spent a lot of effort to prepare for the duel against Mofan …
Unfortunately, he did not realize that Mofan was not afraid of a group fight.
The fourth-tier Lightning Strike allowed Mofan to possess a small Domain. It was with this Lightning Strike Field that Mofan was able to survive among the Lizards for a long time. The Ferocious Ant Scorpions were outnumbered by the Lizards, so Mofan was not afraid at all!
"The nineteenth place is mine!" Mofan's face was filled with an arrogant grin.
"Thunderbolt!"
He pointed his finger high up in the air. Instantly, a bolt of lightning struck straight down from the sky and landed heavily on Dongfang Ming's ocean-blue armor.
"Beng!!!!"
The thunderbolts exploded on the thick armor, and sparks flew everywhere. Dongfang Ming's body was bent down, and he was forced to kneel on the ground by the powerful thunderbolts!
Dongfang Ming's legs began to tremble. The armor had already blocked a few lightning strikes for him. It was finally on the verge of collapsing. The force of the lightning penetrated his body through the cracks on the armor and almost broke his bones!
Dongfang Ming's face was full of unwillingness. He had thought that he would be able to wash away the shame he had suffered in Hangzhou. Who would have thought that he would lose to Mofan again?
Dongfang Ming was, after all, a person with innate talent. His speed of drawing Star Atlas was twice as fast as others, which gave him a huge advantage ever since he started cultivating magic. He originally thought that with this talent and his strong family background, he would be able to get into the top three of the Pearl Institute, but in the end, he was only ranked 19th.
After losing this match, he had given up his 19th place and dropped to 45th place. He had no face left!
"This lazy fellow has indeed lost." In the spectator stands, a young man with a bright smile on his face said calmly.
"Dongfang Lie, how long will it take for you to defeat this guy with Double Innate Elements?" Zhou Shuming asked with a smile.
Dongfang Lie raised his head as if he was deep in thought. After a few seconds, he said, "With the strength he has shown so far … one or two rounds should be enough."
Zhou Shuming was startled, before he burst out laughing. He patted Dongfang Lie on the back and said, "I'll remember what you said."
"It doesn't matter if you remember it. There are still a few people behind me that he can't surpass, so you won't be able to see it," Dongfang Lie said with a smile.
"You're right, but I have a piece of bad news to tell you. It's about this kid with Double Innate Elements," Zhou Shuming said.
"Oh?" Dongfang Lie raised his eyebrows.
"He's taken one of the candidates," Zhou Shuming said mysteriously.
"The competition hasn't started yet. Why would he take one of the candidates?" Dongfang Lie was dissatisfied.
Dongfang Lie was not qualified to be a candidate even with his strength. There was no reason for this guy with Double Innate Elements to be a candidate!
"Councilman Zhu Meng, the Lingyin Enforcement Union, and the Hangzhou City Council recommended him. I only heard about it by chance," Zhou Shuming whispered to Dongfang Lie.
"Sounds like he has a powerful background."
"He doesn't have a powerful background. I've already done my research. He's just good at transportation, and helped Hangzhou City with a plague. The Enforcement Union must be interested in recommending him to the Huang Ranking. If there isn't a young Magician with a greater contribution than him, he will be listed on the Huang Ranking, "Zhou Shuming said.
Dongfang Lie's frivolous look finally disappeared as he stared at Mo Fan, who was walking down from the stage, in astonishment.
Huang Ranking!
This guy was a candidate for the Huang Ranking?
There were many outstanding young Magicians across the country. Among them, those with outstanding talents and strength were scattered across the famous schools. Most of them did not have the chance to spar with one another. How could they judge a young Magician's strength?
Every institution had a ranking for their Element, and a ranking for their school. The Hunter Union had a ranking for their Hunter Union …
The Strength Rankings could only indicate the ranking of a region or a certain circle. They were not everything. The most authoritative and influential Magic Rankings were the four rankings that the Magic Associations of the Five Continents had come up with after multiple rounds of screening and following up with each other!
The four rankings in the world, in their country, were: Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang!
The Tian Ranking, Di Ranking, and Xuan Ranking, these three rankings were made up of experts of different levels. Those who were listed on the rankings were all reputable and strong. Among them, Mu Dao, whom Shi Gua was loyal to, was a Magician on the Xuan Ranking. Even though he did not have any official position, his status was on par with a Councilman.
The Huang Ranking was reserved for young Magicians.
The Calamity of Bo City, the Geyser Spring Disaster, the Magic City, the Black Vatican, and the plague in Hangzhou City. Mofan was involved in these three events, and had made great contributions.
The Huang Ranking would be updated every four years, and the person that China had nominated was Mofan.
The World College Tournament had already decided that Mo Fan was going to be a participant. Most importantly, his name had already been submitted to the highest level of the Magic Association. Once he submitted his name to the Asia Magic Association, his name would be confirmed on the Yellow Ranking.
Mofan was a grassroots Magician. He would never know about the four rankings if no one told him about them.
He did not even know that he was quite reputable among the young Magicians in his country. Once the Huang Ranking was announced, even the people outside the country would know who he was.
