Dian Lun was taken aback by Mo Ze Chen's reaction.
This was completely different from how Mo Ze Chen had acted in the resting area earlier. He even felt that Mo Ze Chen had turned into a completely different person.
But he still wouldn't back down since this match was important for him.
It wasn't just important because this would cement his position as one of the top geniuses of his generation, but also important for his future. If he couldn't win this match, then he wouldn't be qualified to stand by her side.
So while Dian Lun was surprised by Mo Ze Chen's words, he didn't let them affect him for long as he said, "You can act tough all you want, but it's already clear who will win in the end."
Mo Ze Chen just gave a sigh. He didn't reply as he just raised his hand and gave an inviting gesture, inviting Dian Lun to attack.
Dian Lun was once again surprised to see how confident Mo Ze Chen was, but that also sparked his intent to fight.
He wasn't someone who judges people based on the values that everyone else judged them. He was actually quite the open minded person just like Ying Ling, which was why she liked hanging out with him as much as she did.
He could see that Mo Ze Chen did have real power when he watched him fight Ying Ling earlier, but he still believed that he was stronger than Mo Ze Chen, which was why he was so confident.
So seeing that Mo Ze Chen was inviting him, Dian Lun didn't hold back.
He pulled out a long spear from his Storage Ring before summoning out his pet.
It was a hawk that had electricity flowing through the feathers on its body.
The hawk didn't waste any time as it suddenly flew onto Dian Lun's spear before releasing a flash of light. After that flash of light, the spear was covered in a white lightning that ran along the shaft, gathering in the tip.
With how intense this flowing lightning looked, there was no one who doubted the power contained in this lightning.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut contrary to what everyone expected, Dian Lun didn't stab out at Mo Ze Chen with this spear filled with lightning. Instead of stabbing out right at Mo Ze Chen, Dian Lun spun the spear in his hand before stabbing it right into the ground in front of him.
As soon as the spear was inserted into the ground, as if there was nothing holding it back, the lightning inside the spear quickly started flowing through the ground. The lightning quickly spread out around him, but it didn't spread out that far.
Instead, the lightning forked off into two strips that surrounded the area where Mo Ze Chen was standing before coming together behind Mo Ze Chen.
A net.
The lightning had formed a net around Mo Ze Chen to prevent him from escaping.
After he created this net of lightning, Dian Lun pulled the spear out of the ground which still had the same intense lightning around it and he suddenly jumped out at Mo Ze Chen.
As he was flying out at Mo Ze Chen, Mo Ze Chen finally made his move.
He did the same thing as before, using the wave of water to face the oncoming Dian Lun.
As one would think, once the wave of water crossed the net of lightning on the ground, it would pick up the lightning and then become even stronger. However, when the wave of water hit the edge of the lightning net, vapour suddenly appeared.
Unlike what everyone had imagined, instead of the wave of water picking up the lightning, the wave of water never made it past the net of lightning on the ground. As soon as the wave of water hit the net of lightning on the ground, it immediately started to evaporate the water.
The wave of water was made from water that was condensed with water laws, so it was by no means normal water.
But the same thing could be said about the net of lightning on the ground that had evaporated this water, it wasn't normal lightning. It had been able to stand up to the large waves of water and had actually been strong enough to directly evaporate the water.
This was more than enough to demonstrate how powerful it was.
But Mo Ze Chen didn't panic when he saw this because his water wave attack was just the weakest move that he could use.
To summon that much water, he would have to split apart the power contained in the water laws that Xiao Bai used. So that meant that while the laws used to form the waves of water were strong, the actual power in the water was diluted since it was spread out to create all this water.
Seeing that the waves disappeared, Mo Ze Chen had Xiao Bai attack.
Xiao Bai used the same attack as before where he gathered water around his paws to form water claws before jumping out to meet Dian Lun charging at Mo Ze Chen.
However, right before they were able to clash, Dian Lun's figure suddenly flickered.
By the time that Xiao Bai had reacted, Dian Lun was already past him and about to stab his spear out at Mo Ze Chen.
Lightning was one of those laws that had two specialties. Not only was it powerful, it was also very fast.
In terms of speed, Xiao Bai couldn't keep up with Dian Lun at all.
Dian Lun already knew just how strong the water claws that Xiao Bai used were, so he didn't face them head on. He had already seen the damage that these water claws had done to Ying Ling's foxes and he was certain that he wouldn't be able to do the same.
Since that was the case, it was best to ignore Xiao Bai and target Mo Ze Chen directly.
After all, this was a match between him and Mo Ze Chen.
As long as he took out Mo Ze Chen, the match would be over.
Mo Ze Chen was surprised by Dian Lun's speed and the fact that he targeted him, but he also didn't panic as he just raised his hands.
His left hand came in front of the spear while his right hand was pointed right at Dian Lun.
Dian Lun couldn't understand what was happening when he saw this, but since he was already here, he continued stabbing the spear forward.
Right before the spear could hit Mo Ze Chen's hand, there was a red glow that came from his right hand pointed at Dian Lun. Then the temperature around Mo Ze Chen suddenly increased as he started releasing flames from his right hand.
Dian Lun was shocked to see the flames suddenly appear in front of his face and he twisted to avoid them. But this twisting caused his spear to go off target, not stabbing Mo Ze Chen in his left hand, but rather just grazing it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat graze was enough for Mo Ze Chen to steal some lightning laws from his spear.
Once he did, there was lightning that suddenly mixed in with the flames that Mo Ze Chen shot out.
Dian Lun could see that this wasn't good for him, so he immediately jumped back to avoid the flames. Once Mo Ze Chen saw Dian Lun jumping away to avoid his flames, he just stopped shooting them.
What no one noticed was that the faint red flow in Mo Ze Chen's left sleeve also stopped when he stopped shooting flames.
Dian Lun knitted his brows, but he didn't stay in place for long as Xiao Bai had already turned around to slash at him with his claws.
Dian Lun ran around Mo Ze Chen, trying to find a way to attack all while dodging Xiao Bai's attacks. Xiao Bai continued swiping at Dian Lun with his water claws, but he couldn't catch him at all.
Finally Dian Lun resorted to sneaking up on Mo Ze Chen with his speed.
He didn't want to do this since he wanted to face Mo Ze Chen head on, but now it seemed that he didn't have that option.
This was a match that he couldn't lose since it would decide his future with Ying Ling, so even if it was a bit underhanded, he decided to attack Mo Ze Chen from behind to catch him off guard with his speed.
But before he could stab Mo Ze Chen with his spear, there was a wall of flames that appeared around Mo Ze Chen that completely stopped his spear. As soon as his spear hit the wall of flames, the lightning from his spear spread across the wall of flames before disappearing.
The flame laws in these flames, they were stronger than his lightning laws and had burnt away the lightning in his spear!
For a second, Dian Lun's speed dropped and that one second allowed Xiao Bai to catch up to him. However, Dian Lun didn't keep his spear stabbed into the wall of flames.
As soon as he pulled out his spear, he immediately regained his lightning laws and his speed, so he easily dodged Xiao Bai's attack.
The look on his face though was very ugly as he stared at this flame wall.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to break through this wall with his lightning laws alone and even if he could, it would take up all his energy. At that point, he would just be a sitting duck for Xiao Bai.
He really didn't have a way to deal with Mo Ze Chen.
But at the very least, Mo Ze Chen didn't have a way to deal with him either since Mo Ze Chen couldn't keep up with his speed.
With this thought in mind, he prepared for a long battle since it seemed like this would be about who would run out of life energy first.
Of course, Mo Ze Chen didn't give him that chance.
