Having accepted their money, Mo Fan naturally wouldn't just sit idly by. He immediately gathered all of them together.

  "Since everyone is here, Shen Mingxiao, dispy it," Mo Fan said.

  "???"

  Shen Mingxiao froze for a moment, looking at Mo Fan with utter confusion.

  What did he mean, "dispy it"?

  What was this kid saying?

  "Don't you have connections in the Hunter Union? Ask where the Shadow Beast is. We'll go catch it now and send it to the Beast Fighting Iron Cage tonight," Mo Fan said seriously.

  "No... you took my money, and you're pnning to use my connections?" Shen Mingxiao was so exasperated he almost ughed.

  Zhao Manyan, Luo Song, and Mu Ningjiao on the side were all stunned.

  Mo Fan's move had truly bewildered them.

  The more Shen Mingxiao thought about it, the more annoyed he became. "If that's the case, why would I spend money to find you?"

  "What are you saying? You spent money for protection. I'm confident I can safely throw the Shadow Beast into the Beast Fighting Iron Cage. Can you do it? Or do you want to quit now?" Mo Fan replied with a smile.

  "You..."

  Shen Mingxiao looked at Mo Fan's half-smile, practically on the verge of tears.

  Mu Ningjiao and the others couldn't help but ugh at Mo Fan's unreasonable tone and Shen Mingxiao's aggrieved expression.

  "Alright, I'll ask!"

  For the opportunity at the Three Step Tower, Shen Mingxiao endured it.

  He had no choice. He couldn't defeat this scoundrel, and Mo Fan was a top student in the Academy. Even if he compined to the teachers, it would only disgrace himself.

  Boys, after all, had their pride.

  Mo Fan never understood why someone with this much power would still endure sarcastic remarks from minor characters. As long as they were students, matters between students should be resolved within the Academy. Which aristocratic family would dare completely offend Pearl Academy?

  Shen Mingxiao quickly found the location of the Shadow Beast through his Hunter Mage connections. He had briefly considered hiring someone to deal with Mo Fan, but after discovering that Mo Fan was a Hunter Master himself, he abandoned the thought. No one dared act recklessly inside the city.

  After catching the Shadow Beast, the next step was to send it to the Beast Fighting Iron Cage at night. That was the true challenge, because countless student teams were waiting in ambush. Capturing it wasn’t enough — it had to be delivered.

  After night fell, Mo Fan and his group headed toward the Beast Fighting Iron Cage. The moment people noticed them escorting the Shadow Beast, those lying in wait revealed themselves.

  Mo Fan had been dominant in the Freshman Competition, but this assessment involved students from all four years. His deterrence was not absolute.

  "Junior, we know you're strong, but there are so many of us. It's impossible for you to send the Shadow Beast in. Hand it over and withdraw—"

  "Zzzzt!!!"

  Before he finished speaking, a Lightning Seal struck him directly.

  In an instant, the speaker was electrocuted, smoke rising from his body.

  Everyone gasped.

  "Lightning Element!!!"

  "How does he have the Lightning Element?!"

  "My god, three elements? Is he High-Level?!"

  Even the mentors observing were shocked.

  Mo Fan stood calmly. He was not a High-Level Mage.

  "He’s Innate Dual Element!" someone suddenly excimed.

  Silence fell.

  "Had enough of your shock? I don't want to seriously injure anyone. But if you keep blocking the way, I won’t hold back," Mo Fan said coldly, staring at the hundred-plus students ahead.

  He could have concealed his dual element talent, but tonight was the perfect chance to establish dominance.

  "Even if he’s dual element, there are only five of them! Everyone attack!"

  "Violent Wave — Expel!"

  Instantly, water from the nearby spring surged into the air.

  "It's Violent Wave, run!!"

  The torrent descended like a flood, sweeping indiscriminately across the battlefield.

  Water Mages stepped across the waves safely, watching competitors being swept away in groups. Fewer competitors meant better odds.

  Waves crashed from every direction.

  "Hey Mo Fan could you unleash your little wolf we needa a little bit of help?! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO " Luo Song panicked.

  "No need for Wolfie his is fighting his own battles we will be doing a head-on collision," Mo Fan replied calmly. He knew that Wolfie was actually slowly gathering power as he was on the brink of becoming a Warrior Level beast. He knew that as soon as his Summoning level hit intermediate Wolfie could get there.

  He began constructing a star map.

  Fmes ignited around him as his Fire Element surged.

  "Fiery Fist!"

  Heat radiated violently outward.

  The power gathering in his fist far exceeded an ordinary Mid-Tier spell.

  "Nine Paces!"

  He smmed his fist onto the ground.

  The earth ruptured instantly.

  Nine colossal pilrs of fire erupted upward in triangur formation, piercing through the descending tidal waves.

  "BOOM!!!"

  Water met fire in a violent explosion of steam and fme.

  The roaring Violent Wave was forcibly split apart by the overwhelming eruption, and the battlefield was instantly consumed in bzing heat.

  “Boom!”

  A tremendous explosion erupted, and a massive pilr of fire shot up from the ground!

  “Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

  Immediately after, several more pilrs of fire soared into the sky!

  “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”

  When the surging waves crashed upon the Nine Paces of Fire Pilrs, they were instantly evaporated.

  That's right, they were directly evaporated into mist!

  “Dean, this will definitely cause casualties,” Zhou Zhenghua said, unable to watch any longer.

  The Water System mages had directly initiated a massive brawl, and if this continued, it would surely lead to deaths.

  “Activate the Domain of Midnight Grand Formation. Suppress all their power!” Dean Xiao said sternly.

  As he spoke, he was still observing Mo Fan’s location.

  The shock that Mo Fan repeatedly brought left him speechless.

  At his age, he had already mastered Fierce Fist - Nine Paces. However, Dean Xiao couldn't understand why Mo Fan would expose his innate Dual Element ability.

  Even if he didn't use his Thunder Element, he should have been able to send the Shadow Beast into the Beast Fighting Iron Cage amidst the chaos, right?

  Domain of Midnight is a High Level Shadow Element magic. By arranging star paths and star maps using Shadow Element magic stones and then infusing a vast amount of energy, activating it in a formation can amplify the power of this High Level magic by several, or even dozens, of times!

  The Domain of Midnight Grand Formation was located in the students' chaotic battle area. When Dean Xiao's command was given, the dazzling night sky was suddenly swallowed by something.

  It was as if a giant hand of darkness, a powerful hand, was capable of obscuring the night sky.

  As this Hand of Rule slowly descended from the sky, one dark stone after another, buried underground, appeared centered around the Beast Fighting Iron Cage.

  If one were to look down from a high altitude, they would surely notice that the arrangement of these dark stones formed the shape of a star map, ultimately outlining an incredibly vast consteltion!

  “What is going on??? ”

  “Oh my god, I can't see anything!!!”

  “My magic, why can't I cast magic?”

  “...”

  The consteltion had vanished, and the Night God's cloak had enveloped this area. The darkness brought an inexplicable unease, an unease that would be amplified little by little, turning into panic.

  Seeing the appearance of the Domain of Midnight Grand Formation, Mo Fan didn't have too many reservations.

  “Thousand Pounds - Thunderbolt - Yaksha!”

  With the power reduced, he didn't need to be overly distracted or worry about causing casualties.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

  “Azure Fme - Fierce Fist - Earth Annihition!”

  “Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”

  In a short moment, Mo Fan had knocked out more than ten teams in front of him.

  Immediately after he knocked them out, the instructors came to drag these students away.

  Fortunately, with the suppression of Domain of Midnight and Mo Fan's precise control, these people were only knocked unconscious, but suffered no fatal injuries.

  Mo Fan cleared his way,

  After a fierce battle, they successfully sent the Shadow Beast into the Beast Fighting Iron Cage.

  With the Shadow Beast sent into the Beast Fighting Iron Cage, this competition finally concluded.

  Mo Fan earned the opportunity to enter the Three Step Tower and also received forty million. Adding the money from previous bounties and selling demon materials, after deducting expenses, he now possessed over fifty million.

  Afterward, they all naturally entered the Three Step Tower for cultivation.

  Since the rewards for this event had been decided in advance, the Three Step Tower opened in the following days.

  Upon entering the Three Step Tower, Mo Fan kindly reminded a few people about the differences between the first and second yers.

  Of course, he didn't mention anything about the third yer. As for how they chose, that was their own business. Frankly, if it weren't for Zhao Manyan and Mu Ningjiao, he wouldn't have bothered to say anything.

  After instructing them, Mo Fan directly rushed to the third yer.

  After cultivating on the third yer for a day, the experience bonus was a bit too small, so he then rushed towards the fourth yer.
