It was only then that Shao Watani appeared less stern. They had seen each other before when the National Institute team joined forces to wipe up the Red Ornaments Guild.
When they were in the City of Canals in Venice, Mu Ningxue demonstrated her powerful strength in the competition between the Chinese team and Japanese team. At that moment, Shao Watani was stuck with Ai Jiangtu, hence he did not have the chance to change the outcome of the competition.
“You’re Mo Fan?!” Kaede Takahashi cried out in shock.
Nagayama, Ikuko Ishida, and the other members from the State House surrounded them. The crowd turned to them when they noticed the commotion.
“He’s Mo Fan. He’s the one who took first place in the World College Tournament.”
“He looks normal.”
“He may have gained first place in the tournament, but that doesn’t mean he might still be as good now.”
Mo Fan was embarrassed. He did not expect himself to be recognized by so many people in Japan. He did not expect his good looks to leave such an indelible impression to others to the extent of being recognized even among the crowd.
“What is he doing here? Is he here to spy on the National Institute team’s tactics?” Ikuko Ishida said rudely. This was especially after she saw him with Lingling.
“The Mochizuki family invited them to come over to be our guests. Don’t be rude.” Chihaya glared at Ikuko Ishida.
“So, you’re our guests. Speaking of which, the World College Tournament seems to have happened only yesterday. I didn’t even have the chance to congratulate you and your team for winning the championship,” said Shao Watani to Mo Fan politely.
“You care more about the tournament than I do. I didn’t feel anything special about the game. After all, it’s been a long time since the tournament was over,” said Mo Fan.
The corners of Shao Watani’s lips twitched.
He wondered why every single word that came from Mo Fan carried a certain arrogance!
“I’ve been invited over to provide one-month training for the players of the State House. I suppose Japan is the first station for China. I wonder where your team is now?” asked Shao Watani.
“I thought the new season had ended. Isn’t the event held once every four years?”
“This season has been postponed. After all, the Ocean Demon and the cold hit many countries,” said Chihaya.
“Mo Fan, since you are here, shall we take the opportunity to spar with each other? After all, we used to take part in the World College Tournament, and it’s difficult to pass on practical combat skills to the students. If we spar with each other, the students can gain better understanding. Of course, it’s also the biggest regret in my life for not being able to fight with you back in Venice then,” Shao Watani offered.
“I don’t think that’s necessary,” said Mo Fan.
“We’re their seniors. It’s a hard chance to come by to meet with the champion. I believe they also wish to learn something from you.” Shao Watani turned his head around and asked the students from the State House, “Am I right?”
“Yes, we’re looking forward to it!”
“It’s so unfair. As a former champion, you’ve been guiding the students from the National Institute and State House in China. Meanwhile, we only have a rare opportunity by chance. We hope you can show us your skills. We’ll appreciate your effort.”
“We hope you can fulfill Mr. Shao Watani’s wish,” Kaede Takahashi said earnestly while bowing to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan scratched his head. Kaede Takahashi bowed before him.
Reasonably speaking, it was difficult to reject a Japanese who bowed to him.
“Fine. My only concern is that your biggest wish might end as your biggest regret.” Mo Fan had no choice but to accept Shao Watani’s invitation.
Shao Watani smiled.
As long as Mo Fan accepted his challenge, Shao Watani did not mind his words.
Shao Watani held a grudge against the outcome of the World College Tournament even after all these years. He was accused of not being able to achieve a better result for Japan.
The students of the State House, on the other hand, were over the moon. They did not expect the boring training would turn into a sparring session between two experts from the previous World College Tournament.
Before the new season of the World College Tournament was over, Mo Fan was frequently mentioned among the members of the State House and National Institute. Kaede Takahashi, Nagayama, Sinchiro, and Ikuko Ishida heard about him and the Chinese team many times.
“At that time, Mr. Shao Watani was the team leader. Even though Mo Fan won the championship, the difference in strengths was just slight. The key was team cooperation and luck. It would be a mirror match if Mr. Shao Watani fought one-on-one with Mo Fan,” said Nagayama.
“I guess the same too. After all, both of them are the greatest experts at that moment.”
Kaede Takahashi did not say anything. He focused all his attention at the battleground.
“Sinchiro is here!” Ikuko Ishida shouted.
At the edge of the arena was a slender figure with both of his hands inside the pocket. He watched the sparring match from afar. He had no intention of approaching the battleground.
It was clear that everyone looked forward to the sparring session, this was especially so for the Japanese players.
The spectators on the stand stirred up after knowing their identities.
…
“We’re not sealing our super-level power because the Twin Guardian Towers have a powerful forbidden barrier to absorb the overflowing energy,” said Shao Watani to Mo Fan.
“I’m fine with it,” said Mo Fan.
“I hope you can bring out your full strength so that I can see how you earned the world’s number one title.” Shao Watani began a fighting stance.
Chihaya was the referee. She signaled the students to turn on the energy ban and enclose the fighting arena.
Kaede Takahashi sat beside Lingling. He hesitated for some time before asking, “Did you come here with Mo Fan?”
“Yes,” said Lingling.
“If that’s how it is, I’ll surpass him sooner or later,” Kaede Takahashi said in a low voice.
Lingling glanced at Kaede Takahashi in confusion.
He did not say anything. He watched the competition intently, as if he did not want to miss out anything from their sparring.
…
“Let the game begin!” said Chihaya.
Shao Watani was the most outstanding student in Japan in the past. Today, his strength grew even more powerful. His first spell was a super-level magic.
He did not intend to gauge Mo Fan’s strength. He straight away summoned the majestic power of the Star Palace.
The Star Palace was magnificent. It surrounded Shao Watani. It was pure silver. It was the power of space.
…
When Shao Watani cast his magic spell, Mo Fan remained motionless.
There was no corresponding energy around him. However, he stretched out his right hand. His middle finger and thumb were ringed together.
Shao Watani was about to strike with his Space Element power. One could feel that the entire arena was shaking, as if an earthquake was incoming!
Even so, Mo Fan still had not cast any magic spell. He merely flicked his middle finger from his thumb.
At that instant, an overwhelming destructive force swept over to Shao Watani!
His silver Star Palace collapsed and turned into shattered starlight. The boulder in the arena was overturned, and a hole appeared!
Shao Watani stared at him in horror. He was still in a daze and wondered how he got swept away like a straw in the wind!
The energy of the forbidden barrier around the arena which was used to absorb the overflowing power was crushed into pieces.
The barren mountain in the east of the Twin Guardian Towers was razed to the ground by the subsequent surge of the force!
Everything collapsed with just one snap of his finger!
