Versatile Mage: Sword of the Stars, Slay All Evil Spirits

Chapter 112 The competition begins, the opening game!

But if this happened, the consequences for Mu Ningxue would be disastrous.

Because once he loses this ice bow that is closely connected to his soul, at best his cultivation will be wasted, and at worst his life will be in danger.

Faced with such outrageous and unreasonable behavior, Mu Ningxue was naturally unwilling to compromise.

Seeing this scene, Mo Fan, who was standing by, became irritated.

He didn't care whether he would offend anyone or not, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Nan Rongni and others.

For a moment, all kinds of dazzling magical lights shone on the arch bridge, and deafening explosions occurred one after another.

After a fierce battle, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue finally escaped unscathed.

There is no other way. With multiple supplies, Mo Fan not only has three high-level elements, but also has Yan Ji in the fire element, and has already fused the soul-level fire seed.

His fighting power is extremely strong!

Of the entire Guofu team, Mo Fan believed that only Chen Chen could defeat him, and no one else, including Ai Jiangtu, could do so.

……

The next morning, the sun shone on the magnificent National Palace Museum, and the entire building looked shining.

At this time, all the instructors had already sat neatly in the conference room inside the venue.

There was a hint of seriousness and worry on everyone's face.

Just last night, a piece of news spread throughout the team like thunder - internal strife had occurred within the team.

This sudden change really surprised everyone.

However, after everyone learned the details of the incident, they were speechless.

In this tense atmosphere, a mentor couldn't help but say, "If this internal fight gets out, the reputation of the National Team will be damaged."

Another instructor frowned and agreed, "Yes, and if there are such conflicts within the team, how can we work together to participate in the competition in the future?"

"Alas, this matter was caused by many factors. We have no way to resolve it. We can only hope that they can put aside their personal grudges and unite to face the outside world during the competition."

"Anyway, we still have Chen Chen as our trump card."

"Right."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

…………

The World Cup has begun, and people from all walks of life are flocking to Venice.

In just a few days, the number of tourists in the city increased nearly three times, and the waterways, bridges, squares, and bus ships were crowded with people.

The venue was overcrowded, tickets to the live Magic Battlefield were hard to come by, and scalpers were rampant.

Due to technical limitations, videos of magic duels are extremely rare, and there are only two major competitions in the world that allow the public to witness real magic duels.

The first is the King of Hunting Competition, and the second is the National Government Competition.

Due to their scarcity and the common people's desire for the extraordinary, these two competitions naturally gained a lot of attention without any deliberate publicity.

The former is better because the level of struggle is high and difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The latter's competition among the younger generation of masters is both entertaining and professional, and is closely linked to the honor of various countries.

At least hundreds of millions of people watch the broadcast every time.

Its importance is self-evident and it has attracted worldwide attention.

For such an important event, Shao Zheng led the team, and was accompanied by Han Ji from the Ancient Capital Magic Association, Secretary-General Zu Huixian, and the Forbidden City's Chief Mage Pang Lai.

In the capital of Venice, thirty-two national flags flutter in the wind.

These are all the countries selected by Venice, they have stood out in the road of experience and the challenge of the government. They have become the top 32 and are the leaders of magic in the world.

Soon, the draw time arrived, and 32 strong teams slowly entered the stadium. The live broadcast attracted worldwide attention.

As the captain, going on stage to draw lots is a rare opportunity to shine. Many national government stars became famous through this and were hotly discussed by the public for several years.

The Venice competition is divided into three stages, and the competition system of each stage is different.

The first stage is the [knockout stage], which selects sixteen teams to advance to the next stage, the round of 16.

The second stage is the [Treasure Hunt], which will determine the eight teams that will advance to the final stage, the quarterfinals.

The third stage is the [Grand Duel] to determine the champion.

The draw is the grouping for the [knockout stage], which divides the 32 teams into eight groups, with four teams in each group. They will play two rounds of six games in total. The top two teams in each group will enter the second stage.

Chen Chen watched Ai Jiangtu walk onto the stage with a calm expression, wondering in his mind whether he would be placed in the death group again this time, in the same group as the powerful Japanese team and Spanish team from previous sessions.

According to the rule of selecting two places from each group, this means that at least one team will be eliminated in the first round of the round of 32.

This is true for China, island countries, and Spain.

These are all things that are intolerable. They are either carrying the heavy pressure of history, or their performance in the past has always been unexpected.

Not long after, Ai Jiangtu returned to the team, but he had not yet spoken.

At this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that the members of the island country’s government not far away shouted loudly with extreme excitement.

I saw their eyes glancing over here from time to time, and the provocative look in their eyes became stronger in an instant!
".What a coincidence?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but frown, his eyelids twitching slightly.

Ai Jiangtu silently unfolded the note in his hand and showed it to everyone.

When everyone looked closely, they saw the two big words "Island Country" were particularly eye-catching.

Sure enough, the opponent in the first game was the island team.

This country can also be considered one of the powerful countries.

These guys dared to provoke us so arrogantly, they must be very confident in themselves.

"You've come just in time! We must show off our great country's demeanor!"

Mo Fan was so excited that he rubbed his hands together, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

Mentor Feng Li stood in front of everyone and announced with a serious expression: "The opening match will adopt a 5-on-5 team regular match format!"

After saying this, he swept his eyes across the crowd, finally landing on Mu Tingying, Nan Rongni, Li Kaifeng and Zu Jiming.

"You four won't need to play in this match because your injuries have not yet healed." Feng Li said expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this decision, the four of them immediately showed dissatisfaction on their faces.

Especially Li Kaifeng, he hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to plead with Feng Li.

However, before he could say anything, he was stopped by Feng Li's stern shout.

Seeing this, the anger in the hearts of the four people was instantly ignited. They turned to look at Mo Fan beside them, their eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Mo Fan didn't take it seriously, instead he looked as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune...

At this moment, Feng Li suddenly said, "By the way, Mo Fan, you don't have to go on stage either."

When Mo Fan heard this, he couldn't help but secretly groan inwardly.

He muttered quietly: "If I am not allowed to play, I am afraid it will be easy to lose this game..."

Although Mo Fan was unwilling, Feng Li had made up his mind.

Soon, he selected Mu Ningxue, Jiang Shaoxu, Chen Chen, Nan Jue and Jiang Yu to represent the team.
