Because sometimes, you need a buddy to help you remember which element does what or even help you calculate those sweet, sweet stats.A quick heads-up:Despite what the cover might suggest, this isn’t a hack-and-slash adventure.

His skills as a mage is in fact very high and is only second to Mu Bai in class initially. Even after Mo Fan’s strength was revealed and despite being ranked lower… Zhang Xiaohou was in fact a better mage than Xu Zhaoting who is the only other Lightning Mage in their school.

Later on in life, he quickly becomes a superb wind mage. Being able to use his defensive wind wings as offensive swords, something that no other wind mage could accomplish and being able to stand on equal grounds with some of the best high tier mages in the world of his generation.
