Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 276 Kyushu's journey ends in the quarterfinals, sitting at the same table as France and Germany!
Remember, Greece is not Canada!

Greece had previously displayed a resounding and overwhelming performance in its battle with the United States.

Led by Saint Azharia of Parthenon, the Greek national team defeated the United States more easily than in the original story.

Asha's powerful spatial magic instantly put all the captains on alert!

But unexpectedly, Asha'ruya simply didn't play in this more important first-win match!

Without Asha's presence, the Greek team's strength has decreased significantly.

Even so, the Greek team is still very competitive. After all, in the original story, they still beat the United States without Azharia leading them.

I thought it would be a clash of titans, a closely contested match, but it turned out to be a one-sided affair with the Egyptian undead tactics!
No need to fight!
No matter how much destructive magic Greece unleashed or how many high-quality magical artifacts they used, the undead in Egypt were seemingly endless and unstoppable, prompting many viewers to protest.

However, the organizers' announcement stated that the Egyptian team was fine.

In an instant, the Egyptian team completely overtook the Kyushu National Team in terms of reputation.

In the best-of-two group, Egypt will face Great Britain early!

The winner will skip the fourth round and go straight to the final championship battle!

Until the tournament arrived, 95% of the audience believed that Great Britain could secure the championship and runner-up positions in advance.

But something completely unexpected happened!

That's right, the favorite to win the championship, Great Britain, with its star-studded lineup including Zhe Luo, who possesses a high-level level three Chaos cultivation, and Grand Duke Eileen of Victoria, lost to Egypt!

Lu Ran even heard Asha Ruya grinding her teeth in anger beside him:
"This Pharaoh's Spring is really useful."

In this match, Egypt continued to use their undead swarm tactic, which proved effective time and again!
Even if they try the same tricks again and again, no one can break them!
The world's two great lands of the dead are the ancient capital of Kyushu and Egypt; no one understands the dead better than them.

Even with his extensive combat experience, Zhe Luo, with his powerful Chaos-type cultivation, had previously handled multiple opponents with ease.

However, the Chaos system is not very effective against the undead, and his summoning system is equally vulnerable in the face of the undead army!
Even though Eileen had used many powerful magical tools and artifacts that were dazzling to the eye, she was still no match for the endless undead.

Britain lost, and Egypt secured their place in the final two!
This result is unacceptable to countless Britons!
Because in previous years, the Egyptian team's performance was on par with that of China!

Originally, the Kyushu team was a formidable force, but with the withdrawal of powerful players like Lu Ran and Mu Ningxue, Kyushu suddenly became nothing to worry about.

But no sooner had Kyushu been eliminated than Egypt emerged as the dark horse!

After defeating Canada, then Greece, and finally Britain, who can stop Egypt in this year's World University Games?
There's no time to mourn Britain's defeat; the next matches are the losers' bracket and the winners' bracket.

The US team defeated a weakened German team, and the French team also narrowly advanced.

Next, the four teams in the first group will be drawn into a match!

Kyushu, Greece, USA, France!

When the draw results were announced, the US and French teams were ecstatic, because the two teams would be playing against each other!
Both sides drew teams they wanted to face and felt they had a chance to defeat!

Asha'ruya smiled when she saw the draw for the Greek team:

"What a coincidence?"

"Do you want me to help you get revenge?"

Lu Ran rolled his eyes: "Those arrogant clans offended me, it has little to do with the contestants from Kyushu."

Asha's smile: "Okay, then I'll go easy on you on the field."

After saying that, she happily went back to prepare for the battle.

Not facing the troublesome sea of ​​the dead, Azharia felt confident that she could do it again.

She was very happy to draw Kyushu, it made her late night in Venice worthwhile.

Lu Ran, Mu Nujiao, and the others were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the Kyushu viewing area, Feng Li frowned, his face grave. "They actually drew Greece, undoubtedly the strongest of the four teams."

Zu Huiyin and the others turned ashen-faced instantly. People like Mu and Lu were completely speechless, not knowing what to say.

Shao Zheng's lips twitched. He looked at Pang Lai and whispered, "How about we go and invite Lu Ran back?"

Pang Lai glanced at him and said calmly, "Do you think he'll come back?"

Shao Zheng remained silent.

But he still sent people there, preparing a considerable amount of resources, at least two billion.

Although he didn't go in person, he hoped that Lu Ran could feel his sincerity.

But to his surprise, Lu Ran completely ignored him and refused to even meet the person he sent.

Failed.

Shao Zheng was utterly desperate.

In a fit of anger, he disregarded the overall situation and decided to completely remove Zu Huiyin from her post.

The reason, of course, is that a few days ago, Zu Huiyin attacked Lu Ran, an honorary councilor, on the grounds of being dishonest, and also used a series of incriminating evidence against him.

Lu Ran is a hero of the ancient capital, yet Zu Huiyin still poses a threat, and his reputation within the country has long been tarnished.

Lu Ran did not pay attention to the handling of Shao Zheng.

Because Zu Huiyin is not worthy of his attention.

When I return to Kyushu, I can just crush him whenever I have the chance.

With both the United States and France suffering heavy losses in previous matches, the game will come down to who has more trump cards up their sleeve.

In the end, the United States team advanced by a narrow margin, while the French team was the first to be eliminated, falling in the top six, no, the quarterfinals!
Because the rewards and resources are only for the champion, runner-up, third place, and the top four and top eight!
There is no concept of a top six.

Therefore, even if Germany is eliminated first, it can still join France at the same table. Like Germany, France will also finish the World University Games in the quarterfinals.

At most, one could say that there are varying levels of skill among the top eight.

Greece will face Kyushu National Team.

Feng Li looked at his teammates, feeling helpless, as if there was no one else he could use.

"Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, Nan Jue, Jiang Shaoxu, and Jiang Yu, you five will start!"

Feng Li had initially hesitated about whether to send Zhao Manyan onto the field, but Zhao Manyan's performance in previous matches had been mediocre.

If there weren't really no other options, he would have liked to bench Mo Fan, who was also likely to slack off.

As for Nan Rongni, the opponent is Greece, the orthodox lineage of the Blessing system, so Nan Rongni can only be a backup.

Ai Jiangtu, Mo Fan, and the others were in a so-so mood.

After all, he originally had the opportunity to receive the baptism of divine blessing, but now he has been reduced to a roadside figure.

The match began, and although Asha Ruya said she was going easy on them, she didn't hold back at all and went all out from the start!

She held a black longsword in her hand, which, with the blessing of the element, was unstoppable!
With this trump card revealed, Jiang Yu and Nan Jue were the first to fall, and before the substitutes could even take the field, Jiang Shaoxu was also eliminated.

Despite their valiant efforts, Ai Jiangtu and Mo Fan ultimately succumbed to defeat.

Greece won this match by a near-stalemate, and they still have a chance to win the championship.

Kyushu National Team, however, was eliminated in the quarterfinals, sitting at the same table as France and Germany.
