Chapter 53

"Let's forget it. I want to attend a good magic university. I heard that only universities teach advanced magic," Mo Fan said.

The head instructor was furious upon hearing this.

What a brat! It's your good fortune that this instructor wants to recruit you into my unit, and you actually refuse!

"Get lost with that thing, and don't let me see you again," Zhan Kong said irritably.

"By the way, was there only one Phantom Wolf Beast guarding that cave?" Mo Fan remembered something as he was about to leave and asked.

"Just one. If there were others, you would have all become food by now. What, do you have any doubts?" Zhan Kong said.

"Nothing, just asking casually." Mo Fan nodded, glancing at Instructor Baiyang beside him, "Your Phantom Wolf Beast really can drink."

Baiyang was puzzled but didn't pay much attention.

"Get lost, get lost!" Zhan Kong said impatiently.

...

Mo Fan was kicked out of the camp with a roar, muttering to himself: An advanced mage gets so angry just because I gave him a magic tool?

The Scythe Bone Shield was now in Mo Fan's palm...

The entire Scythe Bone Shield barely covered Mo Fan's palm. Mo Fan, who knew nothing about magic tools, was momentarily confused.

Is this palm-sized thing really capable of blocking demon attacks? Do you think all demons have OCD and must hit the Captain America shield?

After some research, Mo Fan finally figured out how to use the Scythe Bone Shield.

When a mage probes the Scythe Bone Shield with their mind, the shield automatically connects with the mage's soul, leaving a magic tool imprint in the mage's spiritual world.

Once the imprint is formed, the palm-sized shield immediately merges into the mage's body.

When the mage activates this imprint with their mind, the magic tool immediately appears in front of the user. At this point, the shield is no longer palm-sized but a shield wall nearly as tall as a person, making it impossible for skills like the Phantom Wolf Beast's sandstorm to harm the user at all!

"No wonder this thing is so valuable. If I had this Scythe Bone Shield when dealing with the Phantom Wolf Beast, I could have safely cast my spells," Mo Fan looked at the large bone shield with a scythe pattern in front of him, a smile appearing on his face.

With this magic tool, he had more capital to fight Yu Yang from the Mu family!

"Still, I have lightning and fire magic, and skills like Lightning Seal and Fire Nourish are very useful, but when facing demons, I still lack the strength to fight," Mo Fan couldn't help but think about this.

Being able to kill the Phantom Wolf Beast this time was largely due to luck. If it weren't for the stalactites in the cave, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaohou's Wind Track, and if it weren't for the students' united attack, he would have been torn to pieces by the Phantom Wolf Beast instantly, and there would have been no way to complete this bounty so smoothly.

"I need to learn skills like Wind Track and Earth Wave that allow for quick movement and position changes. Otherwise, with my slow speed, I might be killed by a demon before I can even cast a spell!"

After this battle, Mo Fan realized how important defensive and movement skills were.

Among the basic elements, only the Water Element has defensive capabilities. Water Defense is the only defensive skill in the basic elemental skills. In school, everyone thinks the Water Element is useless, but in battles against demons, Water Mages are everyone's saviors.

"I have the Scythe Bone Shield, which is like having a defensive skill. So, for the next awakening, I can consider a movement-type element, like the Wind Element... or, a skill like Teacher Tang Yue's, moving in the shadows, which is incredibly cool."

The basic skill of the Wind Element, Wind Track, is indeed very effective. If you can't escape a demon's pursuit, you won't even have the chance to cast a spell.

The Wind Element is a good choice, but Mo Fan felt that the Dark Element might be more suitable for him!

After some research, Mo Fan learned that the skill Teacher Tang Yue used to move in the shadows was a Dark Shadow Element ability!

At this stage, everyone is only exposed to elemental magic.

In fact, besides "Elemental Magic," there are three other major categories of magic: White Magic, Black Magic, and Dimensional Magic!

Among them, the Healing Element is a branch of White Magic.

The Dark Shadow Element is a branch of Black Magic.

And the Summoning Element that Baiyang controls is a branch of Dimensional Magic.

In the nine years of compulsory magic education and high school, only elemental magic is taught. Black Magic, White Magic, and Dimensional Magic are only taught in university.

Now, Mo Fan has the Fire Element, a high-damage skill, and the Lightning Element, a powerful control and strength skill. The appearance of the Scythe Bone Shield has given him some defensive capabilities, but he still lacks movement skills.

To truly fight a demon one-on-one, he needs all these abilities to have a fighting chance!

The Dark Shadow Element!

This would clearly be a very suitable choice for him.

"I need to quickly advance to the Intermediate Mage level, so I can awaken another element. I hope it's the Dark Shadow Element!" Mo Fan said with anticipation.

At the Basic Mage level, everyone only awakens one element.

Mo Fan, being naturally dual-elemented, already has a significant advantage.

At the Intermediate Mage level, mages can not only learn intermediate-level magic skills but also gain a second awakening, creating a new stardust.

Only after awakening another element do mages see a significant increase in combat power!

When Mo Fan first met Head Instructor Zhan Kong, he was playing with flames, indicating he was a Fire Element mage.

But in the cave, he had the awe-inspiring Wind Wings on his back.

Clearly, he has both the Fire and Wind Elements.

Moreover, it can be inferred that Head Instructor Zhan Kong has another element.

Wind Wings are a skill that only High Mages can master. Intermediate Mages already have two elements, and at the High Mage level, they gain a third awakening, becoming three-element mages!

In short, Basic Mages only control one element.

Intermediate Mages awaken another element, controlling two elements.

High Mages awaken another element, controlling three elements.

Mo Fan, being naturally dual-elemented, starts a step ahead of others.

Moreover, without the combination of the Lightning and Fire Element skills, Mo Fan wouldn't have been able to kill the Phantom Wolf Beast. Head Instructor Zhan Kong never understood why the Phantom Wolf Beast couldn't avoid the falling stalactites, because he never imagined that Mo Fan, besides being a Fire Element mage, also had the Lightning Element stardust, and the paralysis effect of the Lightning Seal made the Phantom Wolf Beast unable to move!

"I have the Loach Pendant, and I practice twice as much as others, so my cultivation will advance much faster. However, just having the Lightning Seal and Fire Nourish skills isn't enough to stand alone. I need to quickly reach the Intermediate Mage level. Then, I can not only have the intermediate-level skills of the Fire and Lightning Elements but also gain another element. More skills never hurt!"

Yes, yes, work hard!

What was the slogan of all the boys in Class 8 again?

Right, earn money, practice, and marry Tang Yue!
