“Have we produced the seeds of the Blue Ocean Trees?” Mu Zhuoyun asked Mu Linsheng, who was sitting beside him.


Mu Ningxue had brought the seeds of some Blue Ocean Trees back from Kris’ hometown. She had thought of planting them around Fanxue Mountain to fend off demon creatures after seeing the beautiful mystic plants floating on the water.


The Feiniao Maritime Fortress happened to be in a pinch, and Fanxue Mountain had been given the difficult task of rebuilding it. That had been Cao Qinqin’s field of study when she was a student at the Pearl Inst.i.tute. She believed she would finally be able to discard the useless arrangements there and build a better fortress.


“Cao Qinqin, it’s finally your time to s.h.i.+ne!” Mo Fan sighed in relief.


Dean Xiao of the Pearl Inst.i.tute was the best teacher when it came to constructions and defenses, but he was currently busy in other headquarters cities. As a matter of fact, he was supervising the defense of the whole coastline!


Cao Qinqin had finally finished her apprentices.h.i.+p under Dean Xiao. She had also gone to j.a.pan to study further. Mo Fan believed the new fortress would impress Feiniao Headquarters City.


“If we can finish the task well, our reputation in Feiniao Headquarters City will continue to grow. We might become the strongest powerhouse of the city, HAHAHA!” Mu Zhuoyun burst out laughing.


Feiniao Headquarters City was countless times bigger than Bo City. It was Mu Zhuoyun’s dream to become the local tyrant of the Feiniao Headquarters City!


Mu Zhuoyun was getting closer to achieving his dream. He could not help but fondle his beard and look at Mo Fan. Mmm, that a.s.sh*** isn’t as much of a p.r.i.c.k as I thought!



“Are there other important matters to discuss?” Mu Ningxue reviewed the agenda.


Fanxue Mountain was a lot more organized than before, so Ningxue no longer had to handle things herself, allowing her to visit Tianshan Mountain and the Sacred City. She and Mo Fan had been away for some time.


“There’s nothing else. Ningxue, I think it’s time for you two to prepare for the duel against Zu Xiangtian. We’ll worry about Fanxue Mountain and Feiniao Headquarters City. You can focus on the duel,” Mu Zhuoyun told her.


“Yeah, the duel is around the corner. I still remember the last person who went through so much fuss to challenge me to a duel was you, Mu Zhuoyun…” Mo Fan exclaimed.


Mu Zhuoyun glared at Mo Fan. He had just thought Mo Fan was less of an eyesore only a few seconds ago!


“Stop bringing up the past. You two should treat the duel seriously. After all, Zu Xiangtian is strong enough to be ranked internationally, while people kept boasting how you are the strongest young Mage in the world. Not only will the younger generation put a lot of attention on the duel, many people from other countries will also come to watch the duel. It’s a chance for you to show off the strength of our Fanxue Mountain. You better not mess up, do you understand!?” Mu Zhuoyun glared at him.


“Why do you sound like we are in the Olympics?” Mo Fan rolled his eyes.


“The Magic a.s.sociation forbids Super Mages from dueling one another, so why did they approve the duel between you two? It’s obvious that the Magic a.s.sociation is using it as a chance to motivate the young Mages across the world to work harder!” Mu Zhuoyun harangued him.


Mu Zhuoyun’s words reminded Mo Fan of the reality of the situation.


It was true that the Magic a.s.sociation did not allow Super Mages to duel, yet not only did they not put a stop to the duel, they had even promoted it a little!


Too many Mages had been hiding in the cities behind safe walls doing office work instead of fighting demon creatures in the wild.


The situation along the coastline was getting grimmer. The Magic a.s.sociation did not want them to be short on fighters. They must have agreed to let the duel take place to motivate people to become Battlemages!


“Fine, father. Mo Fan and I will prepare for the duel,” Mu Ningxue nodded. She was also aware that the duel had received too much attention.


It was only a simple matter of Mo Fan and Zu Xiangtian finding one another an eyesore and trying to prove they were better than the other, but it had somehow evolved into a duel of the strongest young Mages in the world!


“Mo Fan, Zu Xiangtian reached the Super Level earlier than you. He might have a few Elements at the Super Level, while you have only reached the Super Level this year. If you lose…” Mu Linsheng spoke up in a worried voice.


“There’s no way I’ll lose,” Mo Fan declared confidently.


“We’ll discuss the rest of the matters. If you two are tired, you should take a look around. You don’t have to worry about anything else,” Mu Zhuoyun a.s.sured them.


“We’ll be going then. Cao Qinqin, tell me if you are in any trouble. I have an urge to loosen my bones too… oh, I meant loosening some sea monsters’ bones,” Mo Fan quipped.


“Alright, mentor,” Cao Qinqin nodded.


Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue left the meeting. They heard the person responsible for buying the necessary material for the reconstruction bringing up another topic as they left.


“It’s only a matter of time until we get the material. Speaking of which, they are being more lenient with us. When the mayor of Feiniao City went in person to buy a batch of high-level defensive materials, they told him they were out of stock. However, when we went to place orders, not only did they sell the material at the basic price, they even arranged trucks and a squad of Battlemages to deliver the goods. Even the mayor was dumbfounded!” the man said.


“Speaking of which, why is Dingcheng giving us special care?” a core member who had only joined Fanxue Mountain recently asked.


“Our leader is an Honorable Councilman of Dingcheng.”


“Are you serious? I heard many Councilmen failed to get themselves a role in the Elemental Capital after spending a fortune trying to! How did our leader become an Honorable Councilman?”


“(Cough cough!) About that, we should keep it a secret between ourselves. We shouldn’t tell others.”


The reconstruction of the maritime fortress required a lot of stone. They could not possibly dig up the stone off some random mountains. The stones had to be firm and solid after being around for a certain period. They were the main material defending the fortress from the sea monsters’ powerful attacks. Dingcheng was the main source of the stone!


Mo Fan’s ident.i.ty as an Honorable Councilman had given Cao Qinqin a huge hand. Otherwise, she would not have had the courage to take on the role of rebuilding the fortress!
