Versatile Mage: I have a proficiency panel

Chapter 81: National Government Tournament in Progress
"Someone will send your reward within three days. I have something to do for now, so I won't bother you anymore." Asharuya paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and merged into the shadow and escaped.

Not long after Asharuya left, Bai Jue received a text message from Ai Jiangtu, saying that Mo Fan, Mu Tingying, Nan Nirong, Zu Jiming, and Li Kaifeng had fought...

After briefly recalling the plot, Bai Jue found that this was indeed the case. He just didn't know if Mo Fan could still defeat these four people before absorbing the Tyrant Thunder.

After all, as the captain, he still has to go and see...how much money this tyrant Huang Lei wants to charge Mo Fan, this is worth thinking about!

When Bai Jue arrived at the scene, the national government instructor Feng Li had already arrived and the situation had calmed down. It seemed that Mo Fan had won the battle, but he was also slightly injured.

“Mo Fan, I have a lightning soul seed with a domain. Do you want it?” Bai Jue called out to Mo Fan.

"Tyrant Wild Thunder is the best of the best soul species."

"How much?" Mo Fan's eyes were determined. He was very angry and needed strength. The Lightning Soul Seed was exactly what he wanted!
"1.2 billion. I can buy on credit."

…………

Little by little, people from all over the country flocked to the Water City. In just a few days, the number of tourists in this small water city increased nearly three times. The waterways, bridges, squares, and bus ships all seemed a bit crowded.

The water level is not large and can not sustain a large flow of people. Gradually, the water level has begun to restrict the influx of people.

The culprit that caused the quiet and peaceful town to be suddenly overcrowded was naturally the World University Competition.

In fact, there are not many duels between mages in the world, and the major magic associations do not encourage old mages to compete in the arena and then show them in front of the TV. After all, magic is solemn and sacred. , and at the same time full of destruction and destruction...

The only ones who are most able to form this kind of competition atmosphere are magic students. Magic students are young and vigorous, and at the same time they can best show how successful a country is in magic education. This has also led to the World University Competition becoming The world's largest magic duel feast every four years, and the students' strength is neither too high nor too low, they are the most suitable group for magic competitions.

In the Governor's Palace of Water City, the flags of the countries selected to enter Water City have been hung high. There are a total of 32 teams entering the final duel in Water City. They are all teams that have performed extremely well in competitions and training tasks in various national pavilions. In fact, this ranking also shows the overall magic level of each country to a certain extent, and the deviation of this measurement will not be too much.

Anyone who can enter the decisive battle in the water city should be considered a powerful magic country.

The venue for the opening ceremony was not large. Perhaps all those sitting here were world-renowned wizards. The forces and organizations they represented were the holy places that all wizards yearned for the most.

After the tedious opening ceremony, the tense and exciting drawing session began.

Thirty-two national government teams, which country will collide with which country, has formed a gambling pool full of money all over the world. Ordinary people like those who are not so concerned about national affairs and magic disputes, why are they so Are you keen on watching the competition among universities around the world?

On the one hand, this has become a hot topic every four years, which is related to the prosperity and glory of one's own country. On the other hand, the flow of gambling funds opened during this period can be compared to the import and export funds of a country...

Bai Jue has already arranged people to participate in the gambling, and he must get a piece of the jackpot no matter what.

There were thirty-two teams, and the captains of each team came out to draw lots. Normally, drawing lots is something that the instructors are responsible for, but I don't know when it started, but the captains of the teams are now responsible for drawing lots. This can be considered an honor, after all, the drawing process is broadcast live, and the captains' faces will be exposed to the eyes of people all over the world.

Although Bai Jue didn't really need this opportunity, the birth of the Drowning Curse Potion had made him known to many people.

"Japan." Bai Jue didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly to everyone.

Maybe there was something at work in the dark, the lot he drew was the same as the one in the original novel about Ai Jiangtu, but it didn’t matter, they were all ants.

With a big boss like Bai Jue in the team, everyone else is very calm, thinking about how to be more eye-catching under the big boss's glory.

The Japanese government also seemed very quiet at this moment. Their instructor Fujikata Nobuko had an extremely ugly expression on his face. Other governments might not be aware of Bai Jue's strength, but they knew it very well. Their teachers had been defeated in seconds before, so how could they beat him now?
"I only have one request, that you persist longer than other countries!"

Although it is outrageous for a tutor to say this to his student, it is understandable, after all, there are reasons behind it.

"We are playing in the opening match, we must win beautifully and shockingly!" On the Jiuzhou side, Feng Li's gaze swept across everyone. The opening match was naturally the top priority, as it was truly the focus of the world. If one could perform well in the opening match, they would basically become famous!
"The opening match is a 5-on-5 team competition. We will select five people, and Japan will select five people. Bai Jue, you will arrange the players to play."

"I will play in the first game, and I guess the others won't have much chance to perform. Those of you who are willing to be the background board can sign up." Bai Jue said.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Li Kaifeng, Guan Yu, Jiang Yu, and Nan Jue prepared to go on stage.

"Bai boy, are you going to use your full strength in the first game?" An old voice came from behind the dugout.

An old mage with gray hair walked over wearing very ordinary clothes. His bright eyes naturally fell on Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu also hurriedly walked forward and called out respectfully. Called the teacher.

"Chief, why did you come down here?" Song He was surprised and looked at the old man with short gray hair.

“He is the chief mage of the palace, Pang Lai. As I told you before, Jiang Yu is his most talented student and the strongest summoning mage in our country.” Zhao Manyan whispered to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan suddenly realized that behind the old wizard Pang Lai, there was actually someone Mo Fan knew, Han Ji, the president of the Bell Tower Magic Association!

"This is the first game, and there are many things involved. If we lose, public opinion will put a lot of pressure on the players, and it will also bring a sense of urgency to all of us. But is there anything wrong with exposing your strength too early?" asked Chief Mage Pang Lai.

"All the students who participated in the National Government this time combined cannot threaten me. There are only five of them. They are not even a warm-up."

"It's true... the young are to be feared." Pang Lai looked at Bai Jue and seemed to have sensed something, and sighed softly.

……

There are many magic arenas in Shuidu, and this is just one of the opening venues. However, the magic flat battlefield alone is about the size of four football fields plus an athletic field. This is a very exaggerated scale. It is really not easy to free up such a piece of land in Shuidu, where every inch of land is precious.

The magic arena is large, which means that the viewing seats are also densely packed. However, considering that magic battles are dangerous, even if there is a barrier to protect them, too many people will not be allowed to gather in the arena to watch. Anyway, nowadays magic Technology, whether it is an overhead view, close-up, side or front view, the battle scenes will be transmitted to the eyes of the viewer without any loss.

The entire arena has been tightly wrapped by a barrier, and outside the barrier there will be defense mages responsible for blocking the huge energy that may overflow.

These are basically high-level mages. The devastation caused by a high-level magic is enough to shake an entire street, so even if it is a fighting arena the size of four football fields combined, you still cannot relax your vigilance.

Mage duels are not very encouraged internationally. A large part of the reason is that energy is difficult to control. The more powerful mages are, the more terrible destruction they can cause. There have been quite a few examples of accidental injuries caused by mage duels in the past.

The site looked like dirt at first, covered with fine dust. It seemed that just a random wind magic could raise a large amount of dust.

However, several old mages soon walked into the venue, and with their own earth and plant magic, they began to change the shape of the venue on the spot.

Like magic, a different landform of solid soil, hard mud, high rocks, and hills was quickly formed in front of everyone's eyes.

This was followed by performances by several old mages of the plant department. You can see the ancient trees rising from the ground. The green woods formed a dense canopy, covered with long vines and whiskers, intertwining into a primitive landscape. Forest!
Before long, the bare magic arena had completely turned into a wild battlefield. If the entire venue was not surrounded by barriers and Roman arena walls, it would have been like being in a forest outside the city!
This kind of outdoor battlefield has no advantages or disadvantages for either side, and can be considered a relatively moderate battlefield. The environment does not obviously favor the mages, and the battle depends purely on the cooperation and strength of the players on both sides.

The referee's voice sounded, and the contestants stepped into their designated positions one after another, while the people in the high audience seats in the distance began a heated discussion.

Since the player information of all national teams is kept confidential before the competition, the information of each player of each country has become one of the topics of most concern. Many information dealers will even describe what this player has experienced since the day he awakened. Dig everything out!

The countdown of fireworks has already sounded in the sky. When the fireworks bloom in the center and echo with the roaring sound, it is the official start of the opening game of this world competition of universities!
……

"boom!"

There was a loud bang above his head, and the colorful lights of the fireworks reflected on Bai Jue's face. He took out a bamboo flute...

Requiem and Soul-Calming!
The sound of murderous intent resounded throughout the battlefield, and the original forest was razed to the ground by the endless waves of sound, not to mention the group of Japanese national team members, who were so shocked that they fell to the ground without even seeing anyone!

If they hadn't deliberately restrained their strength, none of them would have survived!
One of the female team members did have a magic tool for mental protection, but she couldn't hold out for even a moment.

"...Jiuzhou team wins!" The referee was stunned for a while and quickly announced the result of the game.

There was silence in the audience, and then people started to talk about it and shout in shock. This had never happened before in any of the previous government disputes!
"One Thought Constellation... He is even more perverted than we thought!" Pang Lai exclaimed, then stood up and walked towards the judges' seat. Someone would definitely be causing trouble if he showed such unreasonable strength.

Fortunately, Jiuzhou had been prepared in advance, and Bai Jue himself also gave an explanation.

The opening event ended in everyone's disbelief. In the next half month, various countries will stage exciting competitions. I believe that there will continue to emerge magicians who are called amazing geniuses, but no one will be more amazing than Bai Jue!
………………It will be a long time before their next competition starts. Bai Jue, who has some free time, is taking Apas to visit the Water City.

"Big brother is so awesome! He won the game in one go. I want to be a wizard as awesome as you in the future!" Apas jumped around Bai Jue like a butterfly circling a flower.

Bai Jue’s image can indeed be described by flowers, such as Strelitzia reginae, which is elegant and handsome.

The young man was handsome and the girl was cute, and they attracted a lot of people's attention along the way.

"Are you interested in magic?" Bai Jue asked.

"Yeah!" Apas nodded excitedly.

"When you turn sixteen, I'll take you to awaken your magic, how about that?"

"Great! Big brother is the best!" the girl cheered.

When it was time for dinner, Bai Jue found a scenic crystal terrace restaurant. Not only could he look at the tranquil flowing water, but he could also see the reflections of European-style buildings with painted windows on both sides, and not far away there was an exquisite fairy-tale arch bridge.

Seeing Apas happily enjoying the food, Bai Jue smiled. This feeling was really good. He hoped that she could keep up the disguise for a little longer.

I'm really looking forward to her expression when she finds out that I've always known her identity!

……

Half a month later, the match between Kyushu and Spain was about to begin, and the venue was the Longya Arena.

The Dragon Fang Magic Arena is one of the oldest magic arenas in Water City. This arena is not a temporary setting, but has always been like a rock forest with stone peaks that look like dragon fangs.

The stone peaks vary in height, some are only a few meters above the ground, looking like a bunch of rockery placed in a disorderly manner, forming a maze of rock shoots. Some of the stone peaks are quite high, up to thirty or forty meters long, comparable to many high-rise buildings in the Water City, standing slightly above the blocks!
In the past half month, major events have happened somewhere in the world. An epidemic of unknown cause broke out in Croatia, and almost all healing mages were helpless. Fortunately, it was finally solved by the Mother of the Parthenon, which made the Parthenon even more famous!

The Mother of the Parthenon... Tsk tsk, who would have thought that the person sitting in this position is the Pope of the Black Church?
Bai Jue was unable to play in this match, not because he didn't want to, but because he was jointly banned by many national universities. They thought that Bai Jue was too awesome and obviously abnormal, so he had to be investigated!
The timing of the investigation was coincidentally the day of the competition. Even if the results of the investigation were correct, I would not be able to play in this game.

The results of the investigation were of course fine, the files were normal, and there was a reason why the magic was so powerful, although this reason was beyond their comprehension...

Use spirit to strengthen the stars!
As for the fast casting speed, it is attributed to natural talent. There are many talents such as acceleration and control of stars.

A Holy Judge Mage paid out of his own pocket to strengthen his own primary magic and confirmed the effectiveness of the Star Strengthening. He then inquired and learned that Bai Jue had strengthened his high-level magic to level six, and then quietly ended the investigation.

This is simply inhumane! What can you do if they have money?
Other schools fell silent again after learning the results of the investigation. This huge investment...

As for copying... Haha, who would waste so many resources on a high-level mage? That's the spirit!
They even wanted to sue the Jiuzhou Government for malicious competition, but they found out that the spirit essence was earned by the other team members themselves, so there was nothing they could do!

When Bai Jue returned to the team, the game was over and Jiuzhou naturally won.

"Are you back?" Feng Li smiled when he saw Bai Jue coming back. If the investigation was passed, the national government would be stable this year. With such a great general in charge, it was natural for him to be the number one!

"It just so happens that the reward for the first place has already been decided. The student will receive a divine seal ceremony, and the ceremony will be held by the Parthenon itself on the sacred mountain of Athens." said the chief wizard Panglai.

"Think carefully about which system you want to strengthen."

The so-called Divine Seal Blessing can enhance the basic power of magic and is extremely precious to every magician.

Why not find an opportunity to incorporate the Parthenon and attach it to every department, Bai Jue thought.

……

The next race is the treasure hunt, and Bai Jue will naturally participate in it. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and it is better to take advantage of it for free.

On the opening day of the treasure hunt, the whole world welcomed a bombshell news: the international dark master Essendel was found guilty, and the Holy Court will execute his arrest and killing without retrial!

In order to avoid opening on the day when Essendel was found guilty, the treasure hunt of the World Academy Competition was postponed for two days.

The gathering place for the treasure hunting competition is in the original opening venue. Different from the previous venue layout, today's venue is filled with many magic stones blooming with silver luster.

"Space Magic Array, it seems that we are going to be teleported directly to the treasure hunting place!" Ai Jiangtu said.

There are generally two types of space magic arrays. One is the random instantaneous conduction of space. For example, when Asharuya was about to provoke the black dragon, she arranged a random space gate without a very clear space landing point.

The other is a designated space gate, which will instantly move people to a set place. Bai Jue used this space array to bring Asharuya back to Water City.

"Let me explain the rules." The referee stood up and read out the rules in standard International Language.

"You, the 160 students from the 16 nations, will enter the treasure-hunting space in a random order. Each of you will land in a different place. Since the place chosen for the competition is a dangerous place full of demons, you need to be extra careful when searching for the treasures we have placed there."

"Even if we have assistant referees in there, we will also deploy as many Eagle Eyes as possible to ensure your safety. But accidents can happen all the time. I hope you can stay calm and seek help in time. Don't lose your life because of greed or confusion."

"Then, this is a space scroll. When you find that your lives are in danger, fill the entire scroll with magic energy as soon as possible. The scroll will activate in about 4 seconds, creating a space vortex to send you back here, again. In other words, cherish your life and don’t act out of emotion!”

"Space Scroll, tsk tsk tsk, this competition is really generous. I guess not many of us students have this kind of life-saving thing." Zhao Manyan sighed with emotion.

"Is this thing very expensive?" Mo Fan asked.

"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not, but a question of production. There are only a few space mages who can make this kind of scroll, and there are basically very few private ones." Zhao Manyan said.

"We will all be scattered inside. Let's try to gather together when the time comes. Otherwise, if there are too many people from other countries, even if we see good things, we won't have our share." Jiang Yu said.

"Don't worry, I know a little bit about this kind of space array. I can make you appear together directly." Bai Jue had been exploring this space array just now and was already familiar with its mechanism.

"..." Ai Jiangtu looked at Bai Jue in silence. Unlike Mo Fan, who was a half-baked space mage, he understood the difficulty of doing such a thing. Is this a monster?
Basically, all members of the national government participated in the Treasure Hunting Competition. Each team has ten people, a total of people, representing sixteen countries.

After explaining the rules clearly, the students began to enter the space magic formation one after another.

The people came in a random order, and the order of entry was also different. The first one to enter was Ai Jiangtu!

With mixed feelings, he tightly grasped the small stone distributed by Bai Jue and stepped into the space magic circle.

…………

Bai Jue entered the formation and soon felt that the space around him was distorted. He was not prepared to walk with the others. After all, he would be heartbroken if they divided the resources.

After moving through space, Bai Jue also came to the independent space where the treasure hunt was held. The gray and turbid sky here was twisted strangely, looking like a huge dark oil painting printed on the top of his head, which seemed a bit unreal.

In the distance, the land was rugged and undulating, with inexplicably towering peaks, surrounded by a slightly empty flat grassland, a river flowing in the opposite direction, and a long valley where palpitations and cries could be heard continuously...

There were a few eagle cries in the sky above his head, and Bai Jue knew it was the Tong Ying.

The pupil eagle is a demonic tool widely used by the military. Similar to the evil eye bronze mirror, everything the pupil eagle sees can be transmitted through light magic and presented on the instrument as a picture.

"Let me think about it... let's just speed run it!"

After all, if you delay for one more second, the resources here may be taken away by someone!
Bai Jue glanced around and decided to follow the river. He beat the rhythm lightly and hummed a random improvisation. The invisible domain unfolded here and gradually spread to the surroundings...
