Chapter 78

......

Mofan walked around and managed to gather some information from many people.

As he had said, it was indeed a bit much to make such a fuss over a duel between two young people. It turned out that it was ultimately a struggle for power in Bocheng.

This battle was indeed not a bad thing for him. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that a good performance could make him famous in one battle!

"Zhou Min, Zhang Xiaohou, He Yu, Zhang Yinglu, Xu Zhaoting, Wang Sanpang... Why are you all here too?" Mofan suddenly noticed a group of younger figures, who turned out to be his classmates.

"The school gave us some spots, and Mu Bai also got us in. It's rare for the top expert of our school to duel with a disciple of a prestigious family, so how could we not come to watch?" Xu Zhaoting said with a hint of sourness.

Xu Zhaoting, a master of the lightning element, was originally supposed to get this spot, but it was snatched away by Mofan who appeared out of nowhere.

However, after the training incident, Xu Zhaoting's resentment towards Mofan was not as strong as before. After all, Mofan had saved everyone's lives, and they actually hoped that Mofan would perform well in this duel to bring some glory to their magic school.

"Brother Fan, I just saw that Uncle Mo Jiaxing is also on the invitation list. I guess it's that guy Mu He's doing," Zhang Xiaohou said.

"That's a good thing."

"Mofan, you have to do your best," Zhou Min said with a pure and innocent smile.

Mofan nodded.

Two years ago, Mofan never imagined that a duel he caused would turn into such a city-wide topic of discussion.

Well, well, even if it's just once, the feeling of being the center of attention is far better than being ignored in a dark corner for a lifetime!

......

"Everyone, everyone, I am very happy that you all came to celebrate for my son. Time always passes so quickly, and we will surely become so old that we can't even cast a single spell. The future of Bocheng will inevitably be in the hands of those who are younger and more outstanding than us. You might think that I am making a fuss over a son's coming-of-age ceremony, but I have always believed that the blue will surpass the indigo. I, Mu Zhuoyun, can only do so much for Bocheng, and can only maintain the status quo of this city that has nurtured countless magicians and outstanding talents. But in the next ten to twenty years, it is absolutely possible for Bocheng to become even more prosperous and a more flourishing city of mages under the hands of the young. So, do you think I shouldn't hold a grand banquet to celebrate the future of Bocheng and let everyone witness it together?" Mu Zhuoyun, seated at the head table, raised a glass of red wine and said to the guests with a radiant face.

"Here's to the future of Bocheng, everyone, let's raise our glasses!" Yang Zuohé was the first to stand up to toast Mu Zhuoyun.

"Those present are qualified to discuss our Bocheng, but only Grandpa Mu Zhuoyun can see Bocheng's future. I'll drink this in one go!"

All the guests stood up and raised their glasses to drink together.

Among the guests, Mofan found it interesting that Teacher Tang Yue, who also came to the banquet, seemed to be annoyed by Mu Zhuoyun's words and rolled her eyes while drinking.

It was unclear what Teacher Tang Yue had against Mu Zhuoyun.

After the grand banquet, which was filled with grand plans and passionate speeches that made the entire Mu family villa shine with the golden light of Bocheng, the main event of the day finally arrived—the magic duel!

Many people were not there to listen to Mu Zhuoyun's clichéd speech; they just wanted to know who would win the Earth Saint Spring this year.

How many magicians in Bocheng remained at the beginner level for their entire lives, only able to cast that one spell that made their hands calloused? How many truly advanced to the intermediate level?

Xingchen was mysterious and unpredictable, and many who showed extraordinary talent from the start ultimately could not overcome that barrier and remained at the beginner level for life. Thus, the Earth Saint Spring, which could greatly increase a magician's chances of reaching the intermediate level, became a coveted treasure...

Unfortunately, it was only open to the young and promising magicians, and only one person was selected each year, mostly from prestigious families.

Before becoming a student, Mofan did not know that Bocheng had such a treasure, nor did he realize that his rash actions had led him to this opportunity that countless people in Bocheng desperately desired.

It seemed to prove the saying, "If you don't try, you'll never know how much potential you have."

The magic duel finally arrived, and Mofan had been waiting in the magic duel arena as arranged by Mu Zhuoyun.

The arena was oval-shaped, much larger than the school's training ground, almost the size of a sports field.

There were tiered seats on both sides, sufficient to accommodate all the guests invited to the banquet.

Mofan stood in the center of the arena, and in fact, he had been standing there for a while.

Yu Ang was late, and it was clear that Mu Zhuoyun was setting the stage for his grand entrance.

This did not feel good.

It made Mofan feel like he was in a bullring, where he was the bull placed in the ring for everyone to see, to assess his size, strength, and sharp horns, before the handsome and dashing matador made his grand entrance, with lights flashing and applause and cheers.

......

"That's my son, yes, that's my son." Mo Jiaxing was an absolute optimist, happily chatting with the old employees of the Mu family.

"Not bad, Old Mo, you've really turned things around," a gardener said.

"Indeed, just don't get beaten to a pulp. I heard that Yu Ang is particularly ruthless in training with his brothers and sisters," a cleaner responsible for the entire area said.

"Just a young man's duel, how ruthless can they be?" Mo Jiaxing said with a chuckle.

In Mo Jiaxing's view, this was just an ordinary duel, and he didn't think that a big shot like Mu Zhuoyun would stoop to dealing with a child. In fact, many people knew that Mu Zhuoyun wanted to teach the overconfident Mofan a lesson.

"Place your bets, place your bets, I bet Mofan will be taken out in one move!"

"Come on, he's the top student at Tianlan Magic High School, how is that possible?"

"Whatever, I've heard a lot about Yu Ang's skills."

As the crowd continued to discuss, Yu Ang finally appeared, dressed in a specially made outfit.

The clothing seemed to be made of leather or high-end silk, shining brightly under the lights, and adorned with some very special decorations, making him look like a prince entering his hall.

A lot of effort had clearly been put into his appearance, which formed a stark contrast with Mofan, who almost came in sandals.

After changing into such a high-class outfit, Yu Ang's demeanor immediately improved several notches. Combined with his tall and slender figure and a touch of femininity, it was natural for him to charm some young girls.

The white clothing was adorned with a pattern combining his family's emblem and the ice element. Yu Ang's grand entrance, with the confident smile of a prestigious family's heir, clearly indicated that he was the star of the show today.
