Versatile Mage: Started as Gengar and was selected for the National Government Tournament

Chapter 13: Summoning Battle, Gengar vs. Night Rakshasa

Regarding Nan Rongni's solicitation and goodwill.

Chu Ming remained silent, neither agreeing nor refusing.

The family has been developing steadily, and its relationships and business cooperation with all parties are very solid. At present, there is no need for the Nanrong family to act as a matchmaker for new cooperation.

She was right about one thing.

In a few years, this woman will most likely be an official member of the National Government team.

At that time, we will inevitably have to form a team to go abroad for training.

Although there are still a few years before the National Government Competition.

But now that the preliminary places have been determined, there will basically not be much change afterwards.

Unless some people show extraordinary potential or achievements and receive support from precious resources.

For example, entering the Earth Holy Spring, or a unique training place similar to the "Three-Step Pagoda" of Mingzhu Academy.

But the reality is.

Those mages with average talent and strength cannot compete now, and those rare resources will never be theirs in the future.

The strong take all, reality is so cruel.

The chat is over.

After a morning of competition.

The second day of competition also came to an end.

The judging panel and special guest Tang Zhong will comprehensively consider the contestants' results over the past two days of competition, as well as their actual performance.

The ten official spots for the National Team have been basically secured.

They are Ai Jiangtu, Chu Ming, Nan Jue, Jiang Yu, Dongfang Lie, Guan Yu, Zu Jiming, Mu Tingying, Jiang Shaoxu, and Nan Rongni.

The two replacements have not yet been determined.

Mu Ningxue, Li Kaifeng, Mu Nujiao, and Lu Yilin all meet the requirements.

Under official decision.

These four are to be determined.

The World University Competition is held every four years.

Anyway, there is still a long time before the competition.

See how they perform in the future and then choose the best one.

In fact, if we look purely at talent and strength, the two children of the Dongfang family, Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming, both possess natural talent.

Both are eligible to join the team.

But under the struggle among the aristocratic families.

It is impossible to allow both members of the Dongfang family to join the national team.

If one person makes it to the home team, the other person who is slightly inferior will have no chance.

To put it bluntly, the places in the National Government Competition are also a precious resource.

In the past, there was always one person from each clan.

This is a hidden rule.

Everyone knows it.

As for the Dongfang family sending out two people, they also used the competition to let Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming compete with each other.

The final quota was officially determined, so Dongfang Ming could not blame the Dongfang family for treating him unfairly.

Except for the Dongfang family.

Mu Ningxue's situation was somewhat special.

In terms of qualifications and strength, she can completely replace Mu Tingying.

It’s a pity that she was born into a side branch.

Although after the Bo City incident, the investigation has only confirmed that Mu Zhuoyun's adopted son, Yu Ang, was in collusion with the Black Church, Mu Zhuoyun himself was not aware of this during the interrogation by the Mind Mage.

As the top family in Daxia, the Mu family is extremely careful about their reputation and cannot tolerate any stain of the Black Church tainting themselves.

Even if it's just "suspected".

Therefore, the Mu family in the imperial capital decisively removed him from the family.

But that's why.

Since Mu Ningxue no longer belonged to the Mu family, she was given the opportunity to be a substitute.

And all this.

In addition to Mu Ningxue's own excellent talent and strength.

More importantly, she had Song He, the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, supporting her.

Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Academy.

As the two top universities in Daxia.

Both deans have one recommendation quota.

Among them, Dean Songhe is also one of the five mentors of the National Team.

……

The next day.

The final day of the "Masked Mage" competition.

But for the contestants.

The game was already over.

Because they were all there for the spots, they didn't care about the program at all. People like Zu Jiming, Guan Yu, and Mu Tingying, who came from prominent families, came to the competition purely for entertainment.

Ai Jiangtu and Nanjue, as military mages, saw the competition through to the end, their attitude as serious as ever.

When Chu Ming and Jiang Shaoxu arrived at the contestant waiting area together.

The game also started.

In the first game, Guan Yu and Mu Tingying took the stage.

Because the quota for the national team has been confirmed.

Before the fight started, Mu Tingying found Guan Yu and discussed it privately.

Guan Yu saw that his opponent was a girl, so he had no desire to compete.

So the two of them cooperated with each other and put on a show.

It gave the audience a performance and entertainment competition with excellent viewing effect.

It ended with Guan Yu admitting defeat.

……

[After a day of idle training, your Gengar's current (lv29) level progress has increased by 15%.]

[Thanks to Gengar's feedback, your physical fitness is further strengthened. ]

[Thanks to Gengar's support, your progress in poison magic training has improved.]

[Thanks to Gengar's support, your progress in practicing shadow magic has improved.]

Chu Ming watched the competition on the stage while chatting with Jiang Shaoxu.

Suddenly, a reminder sound rang in my mind.

The infusion of life and magical energy made his body tremble slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although all the opponents gave in yesterday.

Can't get any points

It left him speechless.

But fortunately, there is an idle system. Even if the elves don't go into battle, they are not idle either. They are practicing and upgrading silently.

"At this rate, Gengar will soon break through level 30."

"And my magic cultivation has almost reached the intermediate level. I can prepare to awaken a new magic system."

Chu Ming said to himself.

He clearly felt that his strength progress had reached the edge of a breakthrough.

But now the embarrassing thing is.

He is still a long way from accumulating 10 points and drawing new elves.

If you want to awaken a new magic system.

Chu Ming only planned to awaken by contracting the elves. Only in this way could he establish a close connection and gain the feedback of his cultivation.

Can bind elves and upgrade on-hook.

Who still practices alone?

While thinking.

Suddenly, the host's voice came out, calling out his mask code name.

"Please invite White Wolf and Black Panther to the stage!"

Chu Ming took a deep breath, walked quickly through the contestant passage, and headed towards the competition stage.

the other side.

A young man wearing a black panther mask but with an elegant scholarly demeanor walked onto the stage.

Chu Ming remembered him. Jiang Yu, one of the only two summoning mages in this preliminaries, had a summoned beast that looked like a cat-leopard.

The moment the two of them appeared.

The audience in the official live broadcast room also became excited.

"It's actually a battle between summoning mages. This is interesting!!"

"The Black Panther's pet has incredible destructive power, and it's also a rare dark creature. I bet on him to win!"

"Indeed, the White Wolf's shadow summoned beast currently seems to have no other means of attack besides poison."

"Come on, Brother Bailang! You're the best!!"

On the judges' table.

When several judges saw that Chu Ming's opponent was Jiang Yu, their eyes suddenly lit up and they began to speak confidently.

"This time, White Wolf will have a tough time."

"On one side is a peculiar shadow summoned beast, and on the other side is a rare Night Rakshasa. Both are dark creatures. Who is stronger and who is weaker?"

"I watched the previous few battles when Zu Jiming of the Zu family faced Ye Luosha. The effect of the poisonous power was minimal. It is obvious that Ye Luosha has a considerable resistance to poisonous elements."

"Well, it's normal for Chu Ming to lose this game."

"Indeed, I met Master Pang Lai's disciple, Jiang Yu!"

"Yes, he comes from a Jiangnan family and is much better than he is now."

Several judges appeared neutral.

But both his words and his implicit words showed his pessimism towards Chu Ming.

The idea in their minds was very simple. It was reasonable for Chu Ming to lose. Even if he had extraordinary talent, it was enough for him to be in the top five. Ranking any higher would be unworthy of his position.
