Chapter 1751: The Earth Element as Ferocious as a Tiger Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth Zeng Tong took his time. He first used a Basic Spell to probe Mo Fan. The truth was, he was not trying to test Mo Fan, he was just mocking him. The ground was covered in sand, making it perfect for using the Earth Element. Zeng Tong easily completed the Basic Spell of the Earth Element. He was planning to use Earth Wave to teach Mo Fan a lesson when he noticed Mo Fan was still slowly drawing the Earth Element’s Star Orbit. He could not help but chuckle. The man was too slow. Normally, people would have finished channeling their Intermediate Spells by now! It seemed like he had chosen a weakling as his opponent. He did not mind. He decided to have some fun fooling around with the man. He knew how difficult it would be for him to graduate from the school. He always felt better after he came here to bully some rookies! Zeng Tong was very patient, waiting for Mo Fan to finish the Basic Earth Spell. They were sharing the same ground. Wasn’t it obvious who would have control over it? “Rock Fangs!” Mo Fan finally made his move. His hands emitted a golden-brown glow as he focused his attention on the ground below Zeng Tong’s feet. Something began to grow rapidly underground. A rock resembling a beast’s fang sprang up at Zeng Tong. Zeng Tong was expecting a slight movement from the Earth Wave, which would be merely a little breeze for him, so he was astonished when the terrifying rock erupted out of the ground and almost went through his pants. Zeng Tong reacted fairly quickly. He rolled away on the ground and barely dodged the deadly Rock Fang! “What...what magic is that!?” Zeng Tong crawled to his feet and blurted out in a strange voice. “It’s the Earth Element, Rock Fang: Crocodile Snap!” Mo Fan moved both his hands simultaneously. Zeng Tong was still recovering from the shock when he noticed several Rock Fangs approaching from ten meters away on his left. Even though they were made of stone, they still looked extremely sharp! Several other Rock Fangs were also coming from the right. Zeng Tong felt like he was stuck in a swamp, with a huge rock crocodile showing its teeth above the mud! “Rock...Rock Barrier!” Zeng Tong quickly cast the Intermediate Earth Spell to defend himself. Boulders emerged at his sides to protect him, but the strength of the Fangs was too overwhelming. The Fangs punched through the boulders made of normal rocks and continued to press forward. They almost pierced through Zeng Tong’s body! The Fangs were getting closer, forcing Zeng Tong to remain motionless. His legs began to tremble. He stared at the sharp Fangs now merely inches from him in fear and disbelief. “Withdraw!” At Mo Fan’s command, the sharp golden-brown fangs immediately turned into dust and fell apart, scattering across the ground. Zeng Tong remained in the same posture for quite some time, even though the Fangs were gone. He stared as Mo Fan walked closer, looking at him as if he was a monster. “Relax, relax!” Mo Fan patted Zeng Tong on the shoulder. “How...how...how did you do it? That’s impossible, you were only using the Basic Spell of the Earth Element. How did it change so much?” Zeng Tong stammered. “Control! A Basic Spell can have various forms too, if your control is good enough! Like this! Flying Sand Rocks!” Mo Fan raised his hand. The ground ahead began to tremble, and the sand and rocks on it sprang into the air! The sand and rocks turned golden-brown as they flew through the air. They were targeting the wooden dummy at the center of the training ground, and shredded it into pieces in less than two seconds. Zeng Tong wasn’t the only one staring with wide eyes, as the spell also attracted the attention of the rest of the students at the training ground. They were curious to know what spell Mo Fan was using! The Earth Element would normally transform so remarkably only after the Eyes of the Rock Demon were unlocked at the Advanced Level. Only those with outstanding comprehension and the help of Soul Seeds could cast spells other than the standard Earth Wave and Rock Barrier! “Control...” Zeng Tong was lost in thought. Didn’t control over an Element only come into play after reaching the Advanced Level? Could this guy be an Advanced Mage? Zeng Tong was about to ask Mo Fan that, but saw he was already leaving the training ground. “Doesn’t he look familiar?” a student practicing his Ice Element asked aloud. “Ah? You think so, too? He’s indeed very familiar. He looks like the genius of our school, Mo Fan!” “Yes, that’s him!” “Are you kidding now? How could Mo Fan be an Earth Mage?” Zeng Tong froze in place. Something felt even more off after he heard the discussion between the other students. Finally, Zeng Tong realized something. He tried to look for Mo Fan, but Mo Fan had already disappeared into the crowd at the exit. “Did...did he reach the Super Level?” Super Level! It was unreachable, like reaching the gates of the Heavens, to students like Zeng Tong, who were merely passing their time in school. If that man was really Mo Fan, it meant he had become a Super Mage! Most importantly, he had just challenged a Super Mage to a duel!... — — Mo Fan was even more satisfied with his Earth Element after he left the training ground. He had made so much progress with such little time. The Super Level had indeed opened up a whole new level of magic for him! “Speaking of which, that guy’s Intermediate Rock Barrier didn’t even stop my Rock Fangs!” Mo Fan fondled his chin and felt extremely pleased with himself. The additional control from the Super Level could not give a Basic Spell extra damage. It could maximize the potential of the Basic Spell by altering its form, but a Basic Spell would never be comparable to an Intermediate Spell. However, Mo Fan’s Rock Fangs managed to pierce through the defense of an Intermediate Spell. It showed how incredible the additional effect of his Earth Element was. It had made his rocks as sturdy as metal! “Should I get myself an Earth Soul Seed, too? I believe the additional effect is stackable with a Soul Seed. Doesn’t that mean it’s even scarier than having dual Soul Seeds?” he mumbled to himself. “Well, I should test the additional effect of my Earth Element for a few more days and figure out exactly what it does. It will help me find a more suitable Soul Seed.” If the Basic Spell of his Earth Element was already so impressive, how strong would his Earth Element be if he had a Spirit-grade or Soul-grade Seed, too? It was like the difference between the puppy of a hunting dog and the cub of a tiger. The hunting dog might become as fierce as a wolf after some training, but even if a tiger liked to sleep most of the time, it could still tear a well-trained hunting dog to pieces, let alone a tiger that had gone through intense training! Mo Fan’s Earth Element with the additional effect was just like the cub of a tiger. He would not mind spending all his savings on it, knowing how much room for improvement it had!
