Versatile Mage : Reborn As Mo Fan

After Mo Fan took down Zhuang Lifeng, everyone was stunned. To be honest, Zhuang Lifeng had overestimated himself.

"Hmph, he didn't even master the star map and yet dared to challenge him. How ridiculous," said Bai Cangfeng from the Bai family with indifference.

"Let's all attack together. If we let him defeat us all, where would we put our pride?" another person suggested.

With that, the group charged at Mo Fan. After all, the Flame Howling Wolf was already wreaking havoc among the freshmen. If they couldn't hold their ground, adding that wolf to the fight would make things much worse.

Mo Fan looked at the oncoming crowd and smiled slightly. Although they had numbers, at least the "turtles", with defensive magical tools, hadn't joined. Without a tough defense, what was there to fear?

Mo Fan sketched out his fire element star map with lightning speed—completing it in less than three seconds.

"Fiery Fist: Exploding Heavens!"

A massive fire punch shot toward the group!

The moment they saw Mo Fan's attack coming, their hearts skipped a beat. None of them had expected him to complete a mid-tier spell that fast!

Boom!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Just as the fiery fist was about to land, a protective barrier appeared around the group, enveloping them.

Among them was Bai Cangfeng from the Bai family. Though their instructor, Gu Han, intervened in time to block the attack, the sheer force of the punch still sent them crashing to the ground.

For a moment, the whole place was shocked into silence.

One punch—Mo Fan had taken down a group of elite freshmen.

"You're out." declared Gu Han, signaling their defeat.

Bai Cangfeng, the most upset among them, was furious. He hadn't even had a chance to fight, and now he was eliminated?

Meanwhile, Flame Howl Wolf continued tearing through the freshman teams. If not for Mo Fan's orders to go easy on them, the wolf could have easily wiped out those who couldn't land a single hit on it.

Having a large number of people didn't necessarily mean strength—especially when the team lacked coordination. They were nothing more than easy targets.

To put things into perspective, the Flame Howl Wolf could even hold its own against Mo Fan himself. Of course, if they were up against trained battle mages, Mo Fan and the wolf wouldn't dare to be this cocky. Trained mages were a completely different story.

"Ice Chains!"

At this point, Luo Song, who had been on the sidelines until now, made his move.

"Wind Spiral!"

Simultaneously, Mu Nujiao also stopped being a spectator, unleashing a powerful wind attack at Mo Fan.

"Fiery Fist!"

A girl named Song Xia was also quick to act, launching a fire spell at Mo Fan.

In an instant, three mid-tier spells were flying toward Mo Fan!

"Fiery Fist: Exploding Heavens!"

Facing this combined attack, Mo Fan knew he couldn't count on Instructor Gu Han to step in, as that would mean his elimination. So he quickly surrounded himself in a blaze of azure flames.

The ice chains aiming to bind him instantly turned to steam, and Mo Fan's fiery punch obliterated Mu Nujiao's spiraling wind.

Boom!

Though Mo Fan had neutralized Luo Song's ice chains and shattered Mu Nujiao's wind barrier, he couldn't dodge Song Xia's fiery punch.

Smoke and dust filled the air around him.

Many of the remaining freshmen looked toward Mo Fan's location, worried. Annoying as he was, he didn't deserve to die.

Even Song Xia was shocked. She had assumed Instructor Gu Han would intervene, but he hadn't?

Gu Han, for his part, was equally caught off guard. He had been preoccupied with keeping an eye on both Flame Howl Wolf and Mo Fan, trying to manage this chaotic brawl. By the time he noticed the danger to Mo Fan, it was already too late.

But just as Gu Han was about to check on Mo Fan, he felt a steady wave of fire element energy. Then, from the smoky haze, Mo Fan emerged.

Azure flames still clung to his body, burning fiercely. While Song Xia's attack had caused some damage, Mo Fan's spirit flame—a powerful azure fire—had protected him from any serious harm.

As he emerged, everyone was left dumbfounded.

"What the… is this guy invincible?"

"No way! He took that punch head-on and didn't even use any magic tools! How is he still standing?"

"This is unreal! How could someone like this exist?"

The spectators were in an uproar.

"Is he really just from a common family background?"

Even the mentors in the stands were shocked.

Mages were known for their enhanced physical toughness, but even a mid-tier mage shouldn't be able to withstand an attack like that unscathed!

Mo Fan had endured a full-on fiery punch with nothing but his body—how was that even possible?

Dean Xiao, watching from above, was also surprised. To be honest, Mo Fan's abilities had far surpassed his expectations.

What surprised the dean even more was that Mo Fan had clearly reached mid-tier level two—a stage even more advanced than most of his peers. Mo Fan seemed like he was born to master magic.

In truth, Mo Fan had considered dodging the attack using Shadow Escape. But knowing that his spirit fire, the Green Lotus Core Flame, was imbued with Nihility Devouring Flame, he felt confident in his ability to withstand Song Xia's attack, which was, after all, just ordinary fire.

After all, when he had taken a hit from Flame Howl Wolf's fire breath earlier, it had only left him mildly scorched. So he decided to test his limits.

Clearly, his decision paid off. Despite the tiny size of the Void Devour Flame, its power gave Mo Fan remarkable fire resistance.

As he stepped out of the flames, Mo Fan looked at his opponents and said, "Now, it's my turn."

He hadn't attacked earlier because the others had paused, but now that he was unharmed, he wasn't about to hold back.

"Azure Flame!"

Rumble!

As Mo Fan uttered the incantation, blue flames seeped into the ground. Hidden in the shadows, Peng Liang, who had planned to sneak attack Mo Fan, was forced to retreat back to Mu Nujiao and the others.

"Fiery Fist: Ground Break!"
