Versatile Mage

Faerun Waterfall entered the group’s vision after they crossed a wooden bridge. The water pouring down just from the spray was like a storm. Mo Fan and the others who did not prepare themselves in time were promptly and completely soaked.

They proceeded forward and turned at the end of a wall. Mo Fan realized the waterfall he had seen was just the tip of an iceberg. Not only was Faerun Waterfall magnificent, its width was utterly shocking. The powerful white curtain of water fell into a deep chasm, stirring one could of mist after another into the air. It looked like a few hundred cloud dragons were rolling in it. It could easily crush a person to pieces!

The waterfall was massive! Mo Fan was not worried about the trial at the beginning. The defensive skills of a Mage were thick and strong. It was unlikely that a waterfall could break them, regardless of how tall and strong a waterfall was. However, he no longer had the same thought after seeing it. He bet even a Commander-level would be crushed flat if it fell to the bottom!

“The terrain of Faerun Waterfall is unique, and can produce a special sonic wave which severely disturbs a Mage’s control over their magic. Therefore, it’s not just a test of endurance, but a Mage’s will as well! A Mage without a strong will won’t be able to cast a single spell inside it,” Professor Li explained. He seemed to be familiar with the place.

“It can interrupt magic, too? Doesn’t that mean anyone that goes inside it is going to die?” Zhao Manyan blurted out in shock.

As the Turtle Shell Mage, Zhao Manyan initially thought the trial was nothing to be concerned about. However, when he heard that the loud noise of the waterfall would disrupt the channeling of magic, he immediately gave up on trying to show what he was capable of in front of the two women.

“Since you are the strongest participant in the World College Tournament, I believe you won’t turn down the challenge, right?” Edith smiled at Mo Fan.

“The strongest participant of the World College Tournament?” Sheryl turned around and looked at Mo Fan in astonishment.

“Didn’t you recognize him? I thought you already knew; this guy is Mo Fan, the strongest participant in the World College Tournament. I even watched him defeat Zorro. Even though he only did it with some tricks, it is still a fact that Zorro had lost to him!” Edith told her.

“This guy?” Sheryl’s gaze at Mo Fan was beyond strange.

In Sheryl’s opinion, the people worthy to earn such glory would have imposing appearances and impressive demeanors. How was it possible that such a misbehaving young man, whose mouth was full of filth, was the strongest participant of the World College Tournament? Was it because a person’s strength and manners were inversely proportional in China?

“I’m sorry, I am the one. I came first in the World College Tournament with skill, how could you say that I won because of some tricks? Feel free to try and win there with tricks, if you can!” Mo Fan replied boldly. He did not have a good impression of Edith.

“We don’t represent a country, so we aren’t allowed to take part in the World College Tournament. Besides, if our institute took part in it, we could easily send eight teams and win the top eight places. I bet no one would want to see that happen!” Sheryl replied confidently.

“It’s true that no one can stop you from closing your door and bluffing all you want inside your own place,” Mo Fan retorted.

“You!” Sheryl was infuriated by his words. Edith looked angry too.

Sheryl took a deep breath to calm herself down. She said, “Do you know the level the strongest student of our institute can take on?”

“I have no clue, I can only say that you made the right choice not to take part in the last World College Tournament. Otherwise, if I stumbled into your team, I’d definitely teach you some manners!” Mo Fan answered blithely.

“You…you…” Sheryl was so angry that she could find any word. She finally managed after some time, “You’re so full of yourself!”

“I’m going to tell the Queen of Dimensions about him. She will definitely teach this guy a lesson!” Edith spat.

“That’s exactly what I’m here for. Otherwise, some people would think that I came in first because of luck,” Mo Fan sniffed.

Professor Li and Professor Zheng did not know what to say after seeing Mo Fan crossing the line even further.

They were well aware of Mo Fan’s deeds at Pearl Institute. He was nothing but a madman. He challenged all the students during the opening ceremony and earned the title Demon King. He then challenged over two hundred students of the Fire School…

The guy always acted like he was the best whenever it had anything to do with his school! Speaking of which, he was indeed the strongest participant in the World College Tournament. Instead of keeping a low-profile, like most of the people who came first, he continued to strut as he pleased!

“Since you call yourself the best in the world, it just so happens that only one student in the Alps Institute has managed to pass through this waterfall in recent years. We call her the Queen of Dimensions. If you can pass through Faerun Waterfall, we’ll apologize for being impolite to you!” Sheryl said angrily, pointing at the enormous waterfall.

“It’s just a waterfall, it’s nothing for me.” Mo Fan could not afford to back off now that he had gone so far, naturally!

“Mo Fan, don’t be stupid, this Faerun Waterfall isn’t something to joke about. If you fail to channel your magic, your life might even be in danger! It has been years since the Alps Institute has had a student that can pass through it,” Professor Li advised him quickly.

“Professor, that was two years ago. We now have a student that completed the trial successfully,” Edith said.

“This…” Professor Li was lost for words. However, he continued to advise, “Mo Fan, this Faerun Waterfall isn’t a joke at all. Trust me, it’s too dangerous to go inside. You are not a kid anymore. You shouldn’t act so stubbornly.”

“It’s fine, I’ll treat it as training. I’ll need something to help me probe the Super Level. Besides, I only have to apologize to them if I fail the trial,” Mo Fan said with a smile.

“The Super Level? A person like you will never achieve the Super Level!” Sheryl smirked.

Mo Fan followed Sheryl across the iron chains on the surface of the river under the waterfall.

The others followed behind. The current was even more shocking as they went closer to the waterfall. The force was no longer something that a Mage could endure, not to mention the disruptive sonic wave the waterfall was producing!

The force from the waterfall was continuous. It was not impossible to resist the force with defensive spells, but anyone’s defense would break within seconds under the continuous force of the waters…
