Ye Fan and Lucy spent a pleasant day on the street, but Ye Fan felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Happy times are always short-lived, and he knows that the upcoming union civil war will be a huge challenge.

On their way back to the union, they saw a light blue barrier appearing around the union from afar.

This barrier covers the entire Fairy Tail guild, flickering with a faint light, appearing both mysterious and dangerous.

Ye Fan and Lucy looked at each other and saw the same worry and determination in each other's eyes.

"It looks like we are in trouble," Ye Fan frowned, "This barrier was set up by the men of the Thunder Dragon Slayer Mage."

"Yes, this time the opponent is not simple." Lucy nodded, and her expression became serious. "We must break this barrier to protect the guild."

The two quickly entered the guild, and the atmosphere inside had become tense. The guild members gathered together to discuss how to break the barrier. Makarov stood in front of everyone, looking serious but determined.

"Everyone, we are facing a severe challenge," Makarov said in a steady and powerful voice, "The Thunder Dragon Slayer Mage has returned to fight for the guild, and his men have set up this barrier. To unlock it, we must challenge each magic node step by step."

"We will face it together, Grandpa!" Natsu clenched his fists, the flame of fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"Yes, we are Fairy Tail, we will not surrender easily!" Erza also stood up with a firm look in her eyes.

Makarov nodded, "Very good, everyone should do their best. Ye Fan, Lucy, you are responsible for the eastern barrier node, there may be powerful enemies waiting for you there."

Ye Fan and Lucy nodded to accept the task and acted quickly. They walked through the corridor of the union and came to the eastern boundary node. The air here was filled with a strong magical atmosphere. It was obvious that the opponent had set up many traps here.

"Are you ready?" Ye Fan asked Lucy in a low voice, his eyes full of determination.

"Of course," Lucy smiled, nervous but not afraid, "We'll figure it out together."

The two of them went forward side by side to meet unknown challenges. Ye Fan used his powerful magic power to break through the traps and obstacles set by his opponents again and again, while Lucy summoned the star spirits to help him fight.

Every step forward was full of dangers, but Ye Fan and Lucy never backed down. As they continued to crack the magic nodes, the barrier gradually became weaker.

Finally, they arrived at the core of the barrier. Here, the Thunder Dragon Slayer Mage's men were waiting for them. He had a sneer on his face, and was obviously confident in his own arrangement.

"Do you think you can break my barrier?" The other party said sarcastically, "This is the territory of the Thunder Dragon Slayer Mage. You can't defeat us!"

"The outcome is still undecided, why talk about it so early." Ye Fan responded coldly, preparing for the final showdown.

Lucy summoned her strongest star spirit and started a fierce battle with Ye Fan. Although the opponent was powerful, they relied on tacit understanding and courage to overcome danger again and again.

Finally, after a hard and arduous battle, Ye Fan and Lucy successfully defeated their opponents and unlocked the core of the barrier. As the magic nodes were destroyed, the entire barrier began to collapse, and the Fairy Tail Guild returned to a free state.

"We did it!" Lucy said happily with a victorious smile on her face.

Ye Fan nodded, feeling exhausted but full of a sense of accomplishment. They walked back to the union side by side, greeted by the cheers and praises of their companions.

But they know that this is just the beginning of the battle. The challenge of the Thunder Dragon Slayer Mage is still waiting for them, and Ye Fan and Lucy will also show their courage and strength in this civil war.

Laxus stood on a high place, looking down at the battle below. His eyes flashed with determination and coldness. To him, Fairy Tail did not need weaklings, and only strong people could maintain the glory and status of the guild.

"Once I take control of the guild, all the weak ones will be kicked out, and Fairy Tail will become a powerful guild." He muttered to himself, a cold gleam in his eyes.

At this moment, he originally thought that it would be Elsa who would come to face him. After all, her strength was not weak and she was one of the strongest in the union. However, to his surprise, the person who appeared in front of him was someone he had never seen before - Ye Fan.

"Who are you?" Laxus frowned, with a hint of disdain in his tone, "Do you think you can challenge me?"

Ye Fan looked at Laxus with a calm expression, "I am Ye Fan, an ordinary wizard, but I will not let you destroy Fairy Tail."

Laxus sneered, "An ordinary wizard? Very good, I want to see how capable you are!"

Before he finished speaking, Laxus waved his hand violently, and powerful lightning magic swept out instantly, heading straight for Ye Fan. Ye Fan quickly dodged, his figure as agile as a ghost, and he almost disappeared before the lightning touched him.

"The speed is good, but it's not enough." Laxus said coldly, crossing his hands and releasing more powerful lightning again.

Ye Fan did not retreat at all. He took a deep breath, and the magic power in his body quickly circulated, condensing a blazing light in his hand. The light turned into a sharp blade, facing Laxus's lightning. The two powerful energies collided violently in the air, bursting out dazzling light and deafening sound.

"This is just the beginning." Ye Fan whispered, and his figure flashed and appeared in front of Laxus again. His attacks were swift and accurate, and each strike carried endless power.

Laxus frowned slightly, obviously not expecting Ye Fan's strength to be so strong. He quickly adjusted his strategy and responded with a more fierce attack, and the battle between the two became more intense.

The entire battlefield was affected by their fight, and the air was filled with strong magical fluctuations. Every collision between Ye Fan and Laxus was like a thunderbolt, shaking everything around them.

"It seems that you are no ordinary person," Laxus sneered, "But this also makes this battle interesting."

Ye Fan did not respond. He focused all his attention on the battle, and each blow hit Laxus's weakness accurately. Although Laxus was powerful, Ye Fan gradually gained the upper hand with his rich combat experience and flexible body movements.

Laxus's attacks became more and more impatient, and he obviously underestimated Ye Fan's strength. Ye Fan pressed on step by step, not giving Laxus any chance to breathe.

Finally, after a violent collision, Ye Fan hit Laxus in the chest with a lightning-fast punch, knocking him out. Laxus fell heavily to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing out of his mouth.

"This...is impossible..." Laxus struggled to stand up, his eyes full of disbelief.

Ye Fan walked up to him, looked down at him, and said firmly, "Fairy Tail doesn't need people like you. The strong are not there to exclude the weak, but to protect them and lead them to become stronger."

Laxus was stunned. Ye Fan's words deeply shocked him. Once upon a time, he also believed that strength was everything, but now, he began to doubt whether his belief was really correct.

The result of the battle allowed the members of the union to see Ye Fan’s strength and determination, and also made them understand that what Fairy Tail needs is unity and trust, not infighting and exclusion.

Under Ye Fan's guidance, they rediscovered the spirit of the union and prepared to meet the challenges of the future.
