"boom!"

Moen's fist, covered in golden armor, slammed out and collided with Laxus's lightning fist. The terrifying magical energy collided and impacted each other, and the shockwave generated by the collision of magical energy extended far and wide, as if it would overturn everything on the ground.

The onlookers' expressions changed, and they quickly retreated, but before they could get far, the magical shockwave was blocked by a wall as it approached them.

"It's Moen!"

Everyone immediately realized that this was the move that Moen had just used. They were very surprised. Moen, who was fighting Laxus, actually had time to pay attention to them and even managed to protect them with a wall.

Clearly, they didn't realize how convenient the "Crystal Wall" was; you could just place it there and basically not have to worry about it or be distracted.

Moreover, being distracted is useless; the wall is incredibly sturdy, and even Moen cannot move it easily, only make it disappear.

"Sizzle!"

After exchanging a punch with Laxus, Moen pressed down with his foot, slamming his foot into the ground to absorb the force, causing cracks to spread outwards.

It has to be said that Laxus's strength is indeed very strong. This guy is already very strong, and he has a lot of magic power. In addition, with the influence of "Dragon Slayer Magic", it is no wonder that Nurse Joy, who specializes in physical strength, is powerless against him.

If it were a regular mage, it would be really difficult to deal with a muscle-bound guy like Joey who specializes in physical combat and uses all his magic for defense and close-range burst damage.

It can only be said that Joey was truly wasted in "Fairy Tail," as these "Dragon Slayer Mages" were all incredibly fit.

After all, they can all be considered humanoid dragons. No matter how much Joey trains, he will always be a step behind. His talent is not as outstanding as Erza's, so it is destined that he will have a hard time surpassing the "Dragon Slayer Mage".

Speaking of this, Moen has always been quite curious about Erza's background. This girl's magical power and physical talent are ridiculously strong. I wonder what her identity and background are. She must be quite extraordinary. But Erza herself has no recollection of it. This mystery probably won't be solved for a while.

"Crackling and popping!"

The two exchanged a punch, and the electricity from Laxus's fist instantly enveloped Moen's body, emitting a series of piercing, sharp sounds.

Moen unleashed his magic, which resonated with the Aries Gold Cloth. A layer of golden light, filled with divine aura, appeared on his body, completely blocking the damage from the electric current.

The Gold Cloth's defensive power was extremely strong, and Moen's magic was quite domineering. These electric currents hitting the Cloth were completely useless and could not penetrate Moen's external defenses at all.

"Buzz!"

Magic surged, Moen withdrew his fist, and then swept a side kick towards Laxus's side. At the same time, countless feathers fell and covered Laxus.

The overwhelming black feathers looked quite strange, but Laxus certainly couldn't miss the dangerous aura they contained.

He transformed into lightning, dodging Moen's kick, and then unleashed his magic. Countless bolts of lightning fell from the sky, shattering the black feathers. Moen's moves were all very strange, and Laxus was not so reckless as to take them head-on.

"Boom!"

In an instant, explosions resounded throughout the sky as Laxus's lightning collided with Moen's black feathers, producing ear-piercing sounds.

"Diamond Dust Fist!"

Laxus had just created some distance and broken through the sky full of black feathers when Moen had already clasped his hands together and launched another attack.

The raging icy tide immediately overwhelmed the lightning in the sky, roaring and sweeping towards Laxus. The overflowing icy magic froze everything around it into ice. Wherever the icy tide passed, even the lightning was almost frozen in solid ice, which greatly surprised Laxus.

The stars of Cygnus shone brightly, and Moen's "Diamond Star Fist" had become increasingly proficient, reaching the intermediate level directly, even surpassing the "Pegasus Meteor Fist" in terms of progress.

This is the effect after obtaining the "Cygnus Bronze Cloth". The skill and the Cloth complement each other, and the improvement brought is indeed huge.

The "Pegasus Meteor Fist" relies solely on the "Equus Bronze Cloth" for power, which is clearly no match for the fully equipped "Diamond Dust Fist".

[Diamond Star Fist - Intermediate, Proficiency: 665/1000]

The "Diamond Star Fist" at the intermediate level, while not quite reaching "absolute zero," still unleashes a terrifying icy storm. Wherever it passes, the ice freezes almost instantly, and the thick ice shows no sign of melting even after being exposed to the sun for days and nights.

It could be said that when Moen unleashed his "Diamond Star Fist," the world instantly transformed into a frozen hell, the air itself seemed to freeze, and even taking a breath felt like it was irritating your throat.

Gray watched from the sidelines, filled with envy. His Ice Shape magic couldn't achieve that effect at all; he really wanted to learn! But, he couldn't bring himself to become Moen's apprentice.

Even if it's just in name only, and everyone actually gets along the same way as before, Gray still can't accept it because he only has one master, and at least he absolutely can't do that now.

"Buzz!"

Laxus retreated rapidly to avoid the cold wave, his expression changing.

Moen has too many methods, all sorts of abilities, and the key is that Moen can use them all.

There are people who can use multiple spells, such as Makarov, but even Makarov can't use every spell in battle. Most mages only specialize in one spell. Other spells are okay for everyday use, but their strength is completely insufficient in battle.

Only Moen, every spell he uses is very useful, and even very powerful, making people dare not take him lightly. He has already used several types of magic so far.

Of course, for Moen, this is just a kind of magic, which is what he calls "celestial magic". This diversity of abilities is similar to "celestial magic", and the different celestials in "celestial magic" have completely different functions.

Although Laxus could transform into lightning, he could only avoid Moen's icy whirlwind. After all, the area covered by the icy magic was too large, and he felt that if he did not dodge, he might be frozen in the ice as a ball of lightning.

Moen also noticed that after these abilities were upgraded to "intermediate", while their power increased, they also seemed to increase their attack range. This was true for "Pegasus Meteor Fist" and "Diamond Star Fist", both of which had a large attack coverage area.

This reminded Moen of his own low-level skill, "Disarming a Blade with Bare Hands." If he were to upgrade it to intermediate level, could it become a group-wide "Eliminate Weapon"?

"Buzz!"

Enraged by being repeatedly forced back, Laxus transformed into lightning and charged forward again. Moen immediately used "Teleport" to dodge Laxus's attack, and then fired a "Scarlet Needle," which Laxus once again transformed into lightning to evade.

The two figures moved almost without pause, constantly changing positions, sometimes bumping into each other, sometimes separating, leaving the onlookers bewildered. Few of them could even keep up with the speed of their battle.

The scene before them made them truly realize the gap between them; they were simply not on the same level as those two.

Moen moved with lightning speed, unleashing either "Scarlet Needle" or a "Pegasus Meteor Fist" or "Diamond Dust Fist." He no longer used "Crystal Wall" for defense, but he still managed to put Laxus in a rather awkward position. Despite the two of them exchanging speed, magic power, and strength, Laxus was actually at a disadvantage.

Most importantly, he was not as good as Moen in terms of endurance. The stars in the sky kept twinkling, supplying Moen with magic power. Although the speed was not fast, it was as if he was cheating!

"Buzz!"

Laxus paused, a needle piercing his body. His expression was somewhat helpless as he forced himself to distance himself from the needle while enduring the pain.

Moen had clearly figured out the pattern of his abilities and seen through his disguise. If he wanted to get close and attack, he would have to reveal his physical form. Although lightning transformation could allow him to dodge attacks, it obviously could not allow him to have the ability to attack at the same time.

However, Laxus also noticed the problem with Moen's "teleportation": Moen couldn't teleport very far, only about ten meters.

Even so, he still couldn't do anything to Moen. Even with wide-range attacks, Moen didn't dodge or evade, relying on his golden armor to easily withstand them.

In comparison, the problem of him having to materialize to attack is obviously much bigger. After materializing, he doesn't have the speed of lightning, so he will inevitably be hit by Moen's attack.

The two exchanged several hard punches. Moen's "Pegasus Meteor Fist" was so powerful that only Laxus could barely block it, but even he was left sweating profusely.

After exchanging punches, Moen was fine, but Laxus's hands were sore and his fists were trembling.

"Let's end it here. It was a truly exhilarating battle."

Seeing Laxus pull away, Moen smiled and said, knowing that he should give Laxus a way out, otherwise Laxus would be too embarrassed to speak first.

"Alright, let's save our energy for the next level."

Laxath paused for a moment, then disengaged from combat. He patted his clothes, trying to appear as if his garments were slightly dirty.

At this moment, the Scarlet Needles that Moen had injected into Laxus were still tormenting him. This guy was really good at enduring pain! Even though his body was trembling and bleeding, he still held on.

"Buzz!"

With a strange expression, Moen helped Laxus remove the effects of the Scarlet Needle and healed his bleeding wounds.

"That was a pretty clever move of yours."

Laxus hesitated for a moment before speaking, clearly referring to the "Scarlet Needle." This was his feeling after being tortured. After being pricked by Moen's needles, he felt his mind had become much clearer. The excruciating pain made him think a lot and reflect a lot. That feeling was very strange.

"No matter what the ailment is, fifteen acupuncture needles will cure it completely."

Moen raised an eyebrow. He actually knew a little about the possible side effects of the "Crimson Needle." A person who could endure fifteen needles might really be reborn.

Of course, the premise is that the person truly has a kind heart and is not a vicious person. Otherwise, being pricked by the "Scarlet Needle" is just pure torture, and there will be no thought of reflection. After all, some people never look for problems within themselves.

"How about I give you a few more injections? Look at Gajeru, the effect is pretty good, isn't it? That kid is much more normal than before."

Moen blinked and joked with Laxus. Gajeel was the only one in the guild who had actually tasted the "Scarlet Needle," while Laxus had only been hit by two needles. Moreover, Laxus was much stronger, so the "healing effect" was not as significant as Gajeel's.

This made Moen feel a little regretful. This "Crimson Needle" is specifically for treating people who are not clear-headed. Maybe after fifteen needles, Laxus could really figure out how to integrate into the guild.

"Stop talking nonsense and let's move on to the next level."

Moen's words made Laxus's face darken. He spoke irritably, briefly explaining the content of the final level, and then turned and left. His mission was complete, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.

"Hey! Seriously! Laxus! Give it a try?!"

Moen, unwilling to give up, shouted at Laxus's retreating figure, like an old acupuncturist chasing after someone.

"."

Laxus didn't answer, but instead transformed into lightning and disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye. It was even faster than during the battle. It's true that people's potential is brought out by being forced.

Moen smiled helplessly and shook his head. Laxus didn't accept it, and he couldn't force him to get the injection. Besides, Laxus wasn't someone he could just prick up whenever he wanted.

"Did we win?!"

"Did you clear the level?!"

"Moen! That's amazing!"

As soon as Laxus left, everyone who had been watching surrounded him, all of them excited and asking questions all at once, as if they had teamed up to defeat a boss in a game.

Although they had all been eliminated, they were still excited that Moen had defeated the BOSS. After all, Moen was a challenger just like them, and having witnessed such a high-level duel, everyone felt that the trip had been worthwhile.

"I've passed this level. I'm moving on to the next one. Everyone, go back and wait for my message."

Moen responded to everyone with a smile, and without saying much more, he went straight to continue the assessment. He was quite confident.

What's the next level about?

Everyone cooperated readily, cheering for Moen before leaving. Only Mira Jane came over and whispered a question, as if she were gathering information in advance for next year's assessment.

"Found the tomb of the first chairman."

Moen smiled and whispered to Mirajane, which made Mirajane's eyes widen in surprise, clearly finding it very strange.
