Versatile Mage: Item Evolution Begins with Ice Scorpion

Chapter 8: Defeating Mo Fan in a Devastating Battle
"Hiss~!"

On the other side of the battlefield, the Silver-Striped Demon Scorpion had already raised a huge axe and claws and swept it towards the Phantom Wolf Beast. The sharp sound of the scorpion's claws tearing through the air suddenly resounded above the arena.

“clang~!”

The place where the Phantom Wolf originally stood was dug out by the Silver-striped Demon Scorpion's axe and giant claws, leaving a large pit with a diameter of several meters, and a large amount of rubble flew out like a bomb.

"Ouch~!"

Faced with an enemy far stronger than itself, the Phantom Wolf could only perform three bursts of air leaps to dodge, narrowly avoiding the opponent's silver claws.

But before the Phantom Wolf could breathe a sigh of relief, the surging waves of gravel flew out like a cannonball, tearing the Phantom Wolf's blue fur and leaving a large number of fine wounds on its skin, with blood flowing.
It's a pity that even if the advanced ghost wolf beast can fight against a mid-level magician, it is still too weak to face a mid-level warrior-level scorpion monster.

The Silver-Striped Scorpion became angry when it saw that its attack failed. The slender scorpion tail behind it, like a steel pillar, swung out suddenly and turned into a winding silver chain that tightly bound the Phantom Wolf Beast.

Not only that, the silver curved hook-shaped poison-infused scorpion tail needle hooked directly into the neck of the Phantom Wolf Beast, and the Phantom Wolf Beast was quickly defeated after only two rounds of fighting.

"Do you want to continue?"

Bai Ye glanced at the Phantom Wolf that was still trying to resist the restraints of the Silver-Striped Demon Scorpion's steel scorpion tail, and spoke to Mo Fan.

“My Phantom Wolf has been defeated, but I want to have a one-on-one duel with you as a mid-level mage.” Mo Fan gritted his teeth and said.

"I'm giving you this chance. Put away your Phantom Wolf first. Otherwise, when the battle starts, Magic will be blind. If it dies, don't blame me." Bai Ye looked at the Silver-striped Scorpion and said.

The Silver-Striped Demonic Scorpion, which was in telepathic communication with Bai Ye, nodded. The silver-iron scorpion tail that bound the Phantom Wolf Beast behind it curled and retracted, throwing it in the direction of Mo Fan.

"Thanks, buddy."

Mo Fan nodded gratefully. The Phantom Wolf was not poisoned by the opponent's warrior-level scorpion, otherwise this dimensional beast would have been doomed to die.

Then Mo Fan put the slightly depressed Phantom Wolf into the dimensional space, and then he looked at Bai Ye with a serious look.

"Frost Toxin - Poison Extract - Venom Fang!"

Bai Ye snapped his fingers, and a blue python as thick as a bucket opened a pair of huge dark blue fangs and rushed towards Mo Fan like lightning.

"Thunder Seal - Fury Strike!"

Mo Fan, who had just witnessed the power of Bai Ye's poison in the audience, did not dare to hold back at all and directly used the third-level thunder seal.

"Crack~!"

The madly twisting purple lightning seal flew out of Mo Fan's palm and met the dark blue venomous python that was flying through the air.

“Zizzizi~~”

After the lightning seal collided with the poisonous fang, it lasted only half a second before it shattered with a loud bang, turning into purple arcs that first dissipated into the air.

The dark blue fangs were still chasing Mo Fan. Fortunately, he used the second level of "Fire - Burning Bones" in time to destroy them together with the dark blue fangs.

“You’re so strong!”

Mo Fan looked at the bumpy ground of the arena that was corroded by frost toxins and patted his chest in fear.

"You are not weak, but it's boring to try elementary magic. Why don't you just go for the intermediate level?" Bai Ye suggested casually.

Mo Fan nodded in agreement. Red star tracks quickly formed under his feet, quickly forming a huge rose-red star map.

"Rose Flame - Fiery Fist - Blast the Sky!"

The blazing rose-red flames covered Mo Fan's fist and blasted out with all his might, quickly condensing into a terrifying giant flaming fist in mid-air.

The surging flames burst into rolling heat waves, and the rose-red sky-shattering fire fist rubbed against the air, making a violent explosion, and fiercely smashed towards Bai Ye. "Space Rhythm - Compression!"

The huge vertical diamond-shaped space grid accurately captured the rose-red flaming fist, and instantly confined the fierce fist firmly in mid-air. The high-speed superimposed space pressure locked the scorching flame energy.

Bai Ye's mind moved, and the next second the diamond-shaped space grid suddenly closed, and the rose-red fiery fist was crushed into a ball of fire on the spot, canceling out both energies.

"It's time to end this."

"Poison Hole - Mad Scorpion Arrow!"

A dark green star map lit up under Bai Ye's feet, and an extremely slender blue frost scorpion tail condensed into shape like an arrow. The biting frost poison grew rapidly in the air, interweaving into large pieces of sharp icy spikes.

Just like a scorpion swinging its tail, as Bai Ye's mind moved, the next second it tore through the air along the way and stabbed towards Mo Fan fiercely.

"Thunderbolt - bang on the top!"

In a hurry, Mo Fan only had time to gather the thunderclouds above his head, and summoned out an extremely thick purple thunderbolt like a lightning rod, which blasted towards the blue frost scorpion tail that was flying through the air.

“Sizzle~~~~!!!”

The blue frost scorpion tail that turned into a deadly arrow was like a mad python out of its cage. The sharp frost poisonous edges attached to the tip of the scorpion tail emitted a blue light, instantly shattering the purple thunderbolt, and pierced into Mo Fan's chest with undiminished force.

In a split second, Mo Fan had no time to react. It was said that the power of thunder could restrain all evil and poison. This script seemed a little wrong.
But the referee Gu Han, who was only paying attention to the battle situation, was not idle. The golden star map lit up, and a thick light shield protected Mo Fan firmly.

The blue frost scorpion's tail hit the light shield, and there was an immediate crisp sound of metal clashing. The energy of the light shield quickly dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Han once again condensed a thicker light shield to protect Mo Fan, which completely offset the attack of the blue frost scorpion tail.

"Mo Fan, you lost." Gu Han said with great regret.

"I-I lost." Mo Fan looked at the arena in confusion after hearing that.

On the other side of the arena, Bai Ye was standing quietly at the edge of the battlefield. The Silver-Striped Scorpion approached his trouser leg and rubbed it flatteringly, as if wanting to check if he was injured.

Yeah, he lost without defeating anyone.

Moreover, Bai Ye had not yet called on his general-level scorpion for help. Otherwise, Mo Fan himself would not have been able to hold out for a single round under the siege of the general-level demon + the dual-element mid-level magician.

After figuring it out, Mo Fan turned around and left the arena in frustration.

Just now he boasted that he would fight 200 people, but he didn't expect Bai Ye's strength to be so strong. Not only did the public training resources of the Summoning Department fly away, but the Blood of the Refined Beast was also gone.
"It's hilarious. I have to fight 200 people and I can't even solve the first obstacle."

"What a pity. This kid is quite strong. Not only is he born with dual elements, but he has also cultivated them to the middle level where he can release them quickly."

“Honestly speaking, this new student named Mo Fan is quite strong. If it were me, I probably wouldn’t have the mentality to fight with others under the watchful eyes of a general-level demon.”

There were mixed comments coming from the audience stands, and Mo Fan could naturally hear them. Hearing this, he quickened his pace.

"Mo Fan, wait a moment." Dean Xiao suddenly called out to Mo Fan.

"Dean Xiao, what's wrong?" Mo Fan asked with some confusion.

"I am very pleased that you fought with all your might. Your overall combat performance was very good. Your natural dual-element skills also gave me many surprises."

“So, Mingzhu Academy will apply for a departmental scholarship for your outstanding performance. This is what you in the Summoning Department deserve. Mo Fan, you can get double the amount.” Dean Xiao said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Is it true? Thank you so much, Dean Xiao." Mo Fan was stunned for a while before digesting the news, and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.
