Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 224 Maintaining the Status Quo
……

"These are the individual rankings of the current contestants. Let's take a look at them together."

Jiang Yu got the information and distributed it to everyone.

"This strength ranking is based on the performance in the previous elimination matches and treasure hunt matches. The current number one is undisputed, our captain."

"I heard from the teacher that many ancient magic clans have fled to Venice. Can you guess what they are doing here?" Jiang Yu said mysteriously.

"Watching the finals?"

Jiang Yu shook his head. "The competition is not that attractive to those magic clans."

“You can’t be here to send your daughter off, right?” Mo Fan said casually.

"..."

The air suddenly became quiet.

Jiang Yu looked at Mo Fan with a strange expression.

No, why does this guy’s train of thought always go like this?
Can you guess this?

"Really?" Mo Fan was confused.

"Nonsense!" Zhao Manyan was speechless.

"Look at his natural talent and forbidden techniques. How could he not be attractive?"

The strength that Lu Cheng demonstrated in the competition has already exceeded the standards, but it is within the rules. This has also led to the fact that the competition committee is now discussing the rules and restrictions regarding Lu Cheng's next appearance in the competition.

However, there is a high probability that Lu Cheng will be prohibited from using those forbidden techniques that are unknown to the public, especially the two large-scale summonings launched in the treasure hunt.

The first batch of dark creatures were not so bad. Although there were a large number of them, they were all at the general level. Moreover, those dark creatures were particularly sensitive to light magic, so it was relatively easy for high-level light mages to deal with them.

Of course, it is only easy for Light Mages to deal with it.

But the large-scale "Dragon Tide Summoning" that followed directly flattened the entire treasure-hunting space!
Hundreds of commander-level sub-dragons felt as if they were in the center of a demon empire and were suffocating. Dragon breath filled the sky!
Not to mention high-level mages, even super-level mages would be dumbfounded when faced with such a scene!
"Of course, it's not a gift. After all, a handsome, talented, powerful, kind, and extremely powerful man with a great background is very attractive to girls..." Zhao Manyan paused.

"I really can't find a woman who can match him."

Jiang Shaoxu's face darkened.

Are you saying that I am not worthy of him?

“I don’t know about other things, but for now, the Victoria clan has officially announced that it supports the further development of the two of them,” Zhao Manyan said.

"You can assume they're here to snatch men."

Basically all of Lu Cheng's information in China has been thoroughly investigated by these people, from Bo City to Shanghai, Beijing, from personal interests to all aspects of daily life. His father hates him and asks why he is not a woman!
"Speaking of which...where is the captain?" Zhao Manyan asked.

"I haven't seen him since the Treasure Hunt."

"He went to Athens." Jiang Shaoxu said.

"Where is he going?" Zhao Manyan asked puzzledly.

"He said he wanted to go and see the Goddess election ceremony. He asked me if I wanted to go. I said I wanted to practice in seclusion, so he went by himself." Jiang Shaoxu said.

Zhao Manyan's eyes twitched slightly, "As expected of him."

After the treasure hunt is the critical period for improving strength, but Lu Cheng ran out to play instead.

However, there is no room for improvement in his strength, as he has already reached a high level and has fully cultivated.

"Could he be interested in the goddess of the Parthenon?" Zhao Manyan asked suspiciously.

"Shit! It's possible!"

With Lu Cheng's current background and strength, if he really wants to compete with him, the only one besides the Victoria clan is the Parthenon.

Moreover, Lu Cheng is a retail investor and has no affiliation in China.

“Alright, alright, what are you talking about?” Nan Jue interrupted.

"He contacted me yesterday and said he can't come back in the near future. We have to play at least the next two rounds by ourselves."

"Just fight on your own. We have five leaders in our team now, so we can fight as we please." Zhao Manyan said that he felt no pressure at all.

With the funds and resource support obtained from the treasure hunt during this period, Mo Fan's Flame Dragon has been officially promoted to commander. The same goes for Mu Nujiao's Storm Dragon. In addition, Mu Ningxue's Ice Dragon Commander, Jiang Shaoxu's Dark Moon Dragon, four high-blooded sub-dragons, and Jiang Yu's Night Rakshasa have also been promoted to commanders. With five commanders rushing onto the field, isn't this just a casual fight?

“That may not be the case.” Nan Jue said.

"Asgard is not invincible. If the opponent finds a way to restrain it, it will be difficult for us to defeat it. Team competitions require cooperation. Simply piling up firepower will not work. Besides, you are not planning to get away with such an important match, are you?"

“Uh…” Zhao Manyan looked embarrassed.

"Isn't this someone who is flying with me?"

Why bother when you can just lie down?
……

The competition for the academy is in full swing, as is the election for the goddess of the Parthenon. Since Ander did not commit suicide, she is still the most popular candidate in the election for the Parthenon.

"People from the Holy Court recently surrounded Athens. You should know why, right?"

Asharuya's room on the sacred mountain.

Lu Cheng lay there as if he had walked into his own home, oblivious to the people around him.

"What do you know? Can I stop them wherever they want to go?" Lu Cheng yawned.

"Essendel is here, right?" Asharuya said firmly.

The influence of the Holy Inquisition spreads across the world. Essendel appeared in Venice before the final judgment was made by the Holy City, but then disappeared without a trace.

In this case, either he is dead or he is hidden.

The wanted warrant of the Holy Inquisition is world-class. No country or magical force dares to harbor it. For those targeted by the wanted warrant, as long as they provide a little information, it can be regarded as a considerable windfall even for high-level wizards.

But Essendel had disappeared for so long without any trace, and the people of the Holy Inquisition had also begun to move towards the city of Athens. It could only be that those people had narrowed the scope.

I feel that Essendel made the craziest decision in the world. He was hiding in this huge election.

"Do you want to become a goddess?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Not very interested." Asharuya said.

She had no interest in the position of the goddess, nor in the Parthenon. Everything she had done over the years was to protect herself and to survive from that crazy woman, Izhisa.

It wasn't what she wanted to be at this point, but she had no choice.

Izhisha will not let go of any threat, including those who were once her allies. The fall of Essendel is a clear example.

"Then what do you want?" Lu Cheng asked curiously.

"Tell me, I'll see if I can help you make it happen."

Asharuya looked strange, "You want to cause trouble in the Parthenon?"

When Lu Cheng started to change the subject, it showed that this guy had ulterior motives.

"Answer my question first, what do you want?" Lu Cheng asked.

"Maintain the status quo." Asharuya said.

"I'm used to this kind of life. If there is a big change suddenly, I think I won't be able to get used to it."

"To put it bluntly, you still can't let go of the past." Lu Cheng sat up.

"Aren't you the same?" Asharuya said.

"It's different." Lu Cheng said.

"Whether I can let go depends on whether you can let go."

Asharuya sat down. "Are you still angry?"

"A little bit." Lu Cheng leaned on Asharuya's legs.

"I thought I was no longer angry, but after returning here, I suddenly found that my anger was not so easy to calm down."

"Are you jealous? Jealous of a dead person?"

"Don't even mention the dead. I'm even jealous. I'm much more petty than you think. I'm always fussy and will take revenge for any slight."

"Then why didn't you report it? Don't say it was because of me. I already understood what happened to the Black Dragon Emperor before, you bastard."

"Because it's troublesome. Revenge also takes time and effort, but I get nothing after the revenge. It's too bad. In comparison, I would rather lie on a chair and bask in the sun."

"Then what are you doing now?"

"Look at the mountains."

"You still want to see the water?"

"It's not..."

"roll!"

"Rotating in the sheets?"

"Beast!"

"I am."

"..."
