Order Manipulation was applicable to energy and magic, especially projectiles that were fired in a certain direction.

However, Order Manipulation had some technical difficulty. Users had to predict the enemy’s spell beforehand.

Order Manipulation might only be a Basic Spell, but many spells had extremely quick projectiles, such as the common Fire Burst. An adept Mage could fire one off at a hundred meters per second, and Order Manipulation had to manipulate its path during its flight. If the Chaos Mage was not able to react in time, the spell would hit the Chaos Mage in the face before they could cast Order Manipulation!

Therefore, the spell seriously tested Mo Fan’s reaction speed and decision-making skills. He had to prepare to cast Order Manipulation while the enemy was Channeling their spells. He would then have to manipulate the path of the enemy’s spell as soon as they cast it to nullify their attacks.

Mo Fan believed the Chaos Element was an outstanding defensive element if he could use it properly. It was more special than the ordinary defensive spells of the Light, Earth, and Water Elements.

Many people assumed that defensive methods only consisted of blocking, absorbing, and shielding, but certain Advanced Spells and Super Spells were simply too destructive; it was almost impossible to set up a defense that could endure those spells. However, if Mo Fan could use the Chaos Element to alter the trajectories of those spells, he would be able to nullify the attacks regardless. The Chaos Element was more like a magician capable of manipulating strength. Its Basic Spell, Order Manipulation, and the Intermediate Spell, Chaotic Vortex, were unique in their own ways. They did not produce any energy, but were carrying energy instead!

When it came to utilizing the Chaos Element efficiently, Mo Fan could not help but recall Zorro, a strong opponent during the World College Tournament. His Chaos Magic had completely overturned Mo Fan’s view of the Chaos Element. Mo Fan believed he had only managed to defeat Zorro out of luck. The man was ridiculously strong, able to take on a group of enemies on his own. However, Mo Fan only realized the truth after he had Awakened the Chaos Element.

Zorro might be strong, but it did not necessarily mean he could fend off ten opponents at once. He was able to dominate the scene because he was turning his opponents’ spells against them. The Chaos Element had turned his enemy’s power into his own, thus when more people were attacking him, his counterattacks would be even fiercer. It was the reason why he seemed unbeatable.

That being said, Mo Fan was nowhere close to Zorro’s level of skill when turning the enemy’s attacks against themselves. He could only manipulate the path of some spells for now. It would be a long time before he was able to reach Zorro’s level!

“My Lightning Element should become stronger after I’ve learned the Intermediate Chaos Spell, Chaotic Vortex!” Mo Fan wriggled his fingers. Mo Fan felt like he was finally going to become a cunning magician after mastering the Chaos Element. He would be able to manipulate a lot of things just by moving his fingers!

“Let’s try a few other approaches, and see if I can make them work.” Mo Fan was full of strange ideas. Most Elements strictly followed a table of contents which humans had come up with thousands of years ago. The Mages could only alter the form of their magic when they had a certain level of control over their Elements. However, Mo Fan had noticed that he could use the Chaos Element to further manipulate his other Elements, too!

For example, he could think of another way of using Order Manipulation: Path Slicing!

“Fire Burst!”

Mo Fan flipped his hand. The Meteor Scarlet burst into flames on his palm.

“Go!” Mo Fan tossed the Fire Burst in his hand forward at a target casually.

The dummy was around a hundred meters away in front of him, but Mo Fan had purposely altered the angle by aiming at eleven o’clock. The deviation was not too obvious at first, but it slowly became clearer as the Fire Burst traveled further.

“Ling!~” Little Flame Belle cried gloatingly when she saw Mo Fan’s poor aim. She was basically saying, “Dad, you are slacking off in your practice too!”

Mo Fan grinned when he heard Little Flame Belle’s cry.

“Order Manipulation: Path Slice!”

Mo Fan moved his finger slightly, like an experienced artisan controlling a puppet. The Fire Burst started to deviate from its original path, as if a string was pulling it!

The Fire Burst formed an arcing trail after its angle was modified. It unexpectedly landed on the dummy despite the poor aim when it was launched!

Little Flame Belle dropped her chicken wing onto the floor. However, she quickly picked it up and put it back into her mouth without breaking the Five Seconds Rule. She could not help but rub her eyes. She was wondering how Mo Fan had done it!

Mo Fan turned around and burst out laughing when he saw Little Flame Belle’s blank face.

“What do you think?” asked Mo Fan.

Little Flame Belle finally realized why her attacks had missed previously. She was pouting her lips while biting the chicken wing to express her discontent to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan felt like it was meaningless to practice with a dummy. He Summoned a Moon-Devouring White Wolf.

It was Third Wolf that showed up. Third Wolf was one of the more aggressive Moon-Devouring White Wolves. It was the first time that Mo Fan had Summoned just him from the Summoned Beast Plane. He seemed extremely cautious.

The Moon-Devouring White Wolves withheld his urge to move around restlessly and sat down like an obedient dog in front of Mo Fan. He seemed a little nervous, as he was unsure what his master would be asking him, or perhaps he had done something wrong, so his master was going to lecture him about it.

Third Wolf quickly turned around, trying to get some hint from Little Flame Belle, but she completely ignored him.

“You will run around freely. I’ll be attacking you with my spells, and you just need to dodge them as best as you can,” Mo Fan told the Moon-Devouring White Wolf.

Third Wolf shrieked and placed his head on the ground, begging for mercy.

“Don’t be afraid, it’s just training. Your leader is too quick, so my Basic and Intermediate Spells are too slow to hit him, which is why I’ve Summoned you to train with me instead,” Mo Fan explained casually.

Third Wolf let out a relieved sigh.

Old Wolf was usually Mo Fan’s training buddy. The Flying Creek Snow Wolf had experienced almost every destructive spell that Mo Fan had learned. If Old Wolf learned Third Wolf was experiencing the same thing as he did in the past, he would be gloating right now!
