The directors of the schools did not dare speak any further. Even the proud director of the Water School, Deng Yongchuan, only dared to glare at Mo Fan without voicing his disagreement. Only the face of the representative of the students who was so excited for the battle stayed blank.

Super Level?

The young man was only around his age. How was he a Super Mage already?

Did he eat some magical pills to boost his cultivation?

On second thought, some clans would use some ancient and extreme methods to forcibly raise one or two Super Mages, but those people were just like nerds, and had zero practical skills.

“Mr. Lin Du, is the Space Compression Bridge you just mentioned going to work?” Mo Fan asked Lin Du.

“It shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a technique I invented, yet it rarely comes in handy. My students here have been practicing it with me. We should be able to tackle our lack of range if the few of us establish a Space Compression Bridge,” Lin Du said.

“Let’s not waste any time, then. The Scarlet Soaring Demons have already reached the opposite shore. Mr. Lin Du, I’ll leave it to you. The Lightning Element is deadlier against sea monsters. All Lightning Mages will form a team, while Wind Mages and Ice Mages slow down the Scarlet Soaring Demons and limit the space they can move in before the Lightning Mages cast their spells,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan had been through many battles. He would have seen pigs run even if he had never eaten pork. He had no trouble giving instructions in a battle.

The university did not have many Lightning Mages, only thirteen of them in total. Mo Fan roughly inspected their cultivation and was quite disappointed when he noticed their cultivation was below average.

It was perfectly normal, since the odds of Awakening the Lightning Element was extremely low. The chance of Awakening the Lightning Element as the first Element was a thousand to one. Even if someone were to use an Awakening Stone to Awaken the Lightning Element as their secondary Element, the odds were still low. This number of Lightning Mages was already considered high if they were not currently in a university.

The thirteen Lightning Mages were only at the Intermediate Level, apart from a teacher in the Advanced Level. Mo Fan assigned the teacher to be in charge of the group.

The rest of the Elements were Wind, Earth, Ice, Light, and Fire.

The chance of Awakening the Fire Element as a secondary Element was not too low, thus the Fire Element was much more common among Intermediate Mages. Many people were willing to spend money on an Awakening Stone to Awaken the Fire Element.

The rest of the students formed five teams based on their Elements and went into positions on the higher ground.

After grouping the students based on their Elements, Lin Du quickly and efficiently constructed the Space Compression Bridge.

Normally, the Space Compression Bridge was invisible, but the heavy rain pouring down from the sky outlined an obvious archway between Jimei University and the strait. Mo Fan summoned a Fire Burst by flipping his hand and tossed it at the bridge.

The Fire Burst faded slightly amid the rain. It quickly crossed the tunnel of the Space Element and reached the center of the strait before falling into the water like a projectile.

“Splendid, that is great!” Mo Fan exclaimed.

It was Mo Fan’s first time seeing the technique. He had to ask the old Space Mage to teach him the trick once he had the time. It might come in handy on certain occasions!

“Commander, how about us?” Miss Biling asked with a confused look.

Mo Fan had only assigned tasks for the Elemental Mages. He was not intending to assign roles to the rest of the Mages, including Miss Biling and the students. They were puzzled as they had no clue what they were supposed to do.

“The rest of you will defend the library and the hill,” Mo Fan said.

“Why do we even need to defend this place? We are currently on the land. The sea monsters will all be rushing into the city,” the student representative complained.

“Just do as I say, what’s with all the nonsense?” Mo Fan snarled impatiently.

“What…what do you mean by that!?” the student representative blushed in anger.

“Yang Zhe, just listen to the commander. We’ll be on standby here,” Biling pulled the student representative back.

Mo Fan stood at the highest point on the library. He was able to observe the entire strait from his position. Countless Scarlet Soaring Demons were heading toward Gaoqi Airport. These amphibians were indeed perfect vanguards for the army of sea monsters. Their crimson skin made them look like wriggling pieces of meat crawling through the strait as they were approaching Gaoqi Airport.

Jimei University’s library was on the other side of the strait, opposite the shore that the sea monsters were invading.

“Wind Mages, Ice Mages, restrict their movement!” Mo Fan gave the order when he noticed the time had come as the density of the Scarlet Soaring Demons peaked.

“Leave it to us!”

“Make sure you direct your spells through the Space Compression Bridge!” Mo Fan reminded them.

Wind Spells appeared above the strait in abundance. The Wind Discs collided with one another and combined into a wild Wind Domain, drawing the seawater into the air.

On the other side, the Ice Spells poured down like hail. They quickly froze the water after landing on the sea. Since the spells were focusing on an area, a thick layer of ice quickly formed on the surface!

The Scarlet Soaring Demons knew how to draw on their advantages and avoid their disadvantages. They purposely avoided the spells and proceeded to the middle where the spells were not landing.

It was exactly what Mo Fan had planned. He was trying to herd the Scarlet Soaring Demons tighter together.

Mo Fan was not hoping that the Wind Spells and Ice Spells would kill a lot of the Scarlet Soaring Demons. The strait was rather spacious. Despite the overwhelming numbers of the sea monsters, there was still space between them, allowing them to dodge the spells. Therefore, Mo Fan had planned to limit their available space with the Wind and Ice Spells.

“Lightning Element, Thunderbolt Cluster!”

Mo Fan signaled the Lightning Mages when he saw the Scarlet Soaring Demons were all clustered in the same area.

Mo Fan emitted a blinding light after giving the order. The Lightning Magic accumulating under Mo Fan’s control easily exceeded the presence of all of the Lightning Magic the thirteen students and the teacher were gathering. The power of Mo Fan’s spell was actually stronger than the whole team combined!

“Such an imperious Soul-grade Lightning!”

“Soul-grade Lightning? That’s not it!” Biling’s eyes flickered with astonishment and confusion when she saw Mo Fan’s Lightning Tyrant.
