Full-Time Magister: The Failed Knight, But the Dark Angel

Chapter 186: Gaining the favor of Instructor Ning Wei will make you a captain!

Although Mu Tingying didn't have much of a status in the National Team and was considered one of the weaker members, she was still a high-level mage with a Soul Seed, and no one underestimated her strength.

She was defeated in just two moves!

To be precise, Ding Yumin only used one move to render Mu Tingying powerless to fight back!

Such a terrifying performance completely shocked everyone.

"Ning Wei, this Ding Yumin is terrifyingly powerful!"

Feng Li gasped, "Such a brilliant genius, you nurtured him?"

"You're cheating, aren't you!"

"Based on Ding Yumin's performance just now, in previous years, she would have been a 100% guaranteed captain!"

"It's hard to say if Mu Nujiao, whom you trained this year, is also a top genius."

Feng Li was genuinely shocked.

He served as the mentor for the previous National University team and knew their level very well.

If Mu Tingying were in the previous competition, she would definitely be the vice-captain and an absolute key player of the team.

As a result, he was relegated to the position of goalkeeper in this election, as if anyone could step on him.

These geniuses, who have been nurtured by Mu Ningwei to varying degrees, are all capable of standing on their own!

Jiang Shaoxu's beautiful eyes widened. What amazing mind magic!

Fortunately, her light-element cultivation level improved, otherwise her position in the team would definitely be in jeopardy.

"Professor Ning Wei, is this a genius you've been keeping hidden away?"

Zhao Manyan, with a long face, said, "Professor Ning Wei, just how many geniuses are you hiding? Dongfang Lie, please don't challenge me later, for the sake of us being alumni!"

Mu Ningwei chuckled and beckoned, and Ding Yumin obediently walked up to him.

"Yu Mian is Dean Xiao's protégé, not a genius I've been hiding. It took me a lot of effort to convince Dean Xiao to let Yu Mian join the National Team."

Ding Yumin spoke softly, "I should thank Instructor Ning Wei for the opportunity. I am able to have my current strength thanks to Instructor Ning Wei's help and Instructor Yu'er's guidance."

"Without your help, I certainly wouldn't be a match for Mu Tingying."

Mo Fan: "You actually managed to get guidance from Instructor Yu'er. By the way, Instructor Yu'er, is Mu Ningxue still training? She's not participating in this gathering."

"Yes, Sister Xue'er is still undergoing training."

Qin Yu'er glanced at Mu Ningwei.

Mu Ningwei fell into deep thought.

Oh no, I forgot to bring Mu Ningxue back again.

However, it doesn't matter. In any case, the longer Mu Ningxue stays in Tianshan, the more benefits she will receive.

Maybe Mu Ningxue would love to cultivate in the Tianshan Mountains a little longer.

"..."

The effects of the mind magic wore off, Mu Tingying stopped crying, got up from the ground, and felt like the sky was about to fall.

Ding Yumin is actually a powerful outsider!

With such strong abilities, why didn't you join the National Team from the beginning? Why did you choose to suffer in the Guard Team?

Mu Tingying was devastated, unable to believe that she, as a member of the National Team, had received so many resources from the Mu family. Now, with the Venice Tournament approaching, being eliminated from the National Team would be a truly miserable fate.

Even her elders probably can't protect her.

Although the clan will not do anything to her, they will definitely squeeze out the benefits they have invested in her and use her as a tool for marriage alliances.

"Mentor Ning Wei... Can I... can I stay in the team...?"

Mu Tingying was frightened. She lowered her proud head and pleaded with teary eyes.

However, in the Nationalist team, apart from Zujiming who felt a pang of sympathy, no one else showed any compassion.

Mu Tingying already had a poor reputation, and she had just taken the initiative to provoke others, so she brought this situation upon herself.

Mu Ningwei looked at Mu Tingying's pleading eyes and said, "We'll talk about your problem later."

"Yes...Professor Ning Wei, please have pity on me..."

Mu Tingying dared not say more, fearing that she would offend Mu Ningwei and lose even her last chance.

Mu Ningwei did not make a decision immediately, giving Mu Tingying a glimmer of hope. However, according to the rules mentioned earlier, she would have to leave the team if she was defeated, which made her feel uneasy and extremely anxious.

Mu Ningwei looked at Dongfang Lie, "Who do you want to challenge?"

Immediately, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Yu, and Zu Jiming, who considered themselves the weakest, tensed up.

In another place, they would all be unparalleled geniuses.

However, there are too many prodigies in the National Team. These few are the weakest. If Dongfang Lie is also a prodigy of the same level as the others, whoever is chosen will be eliminated!

The gap in strength is that cruel.

Mo Fan coughed lightly, "Dongfang Lie!"

Dongfang Lie immediately made his choice: "I will challenge Zu Jiming."

"Damn it! Mo Fan, do you want to die?!"

Zu Jiming knew perfectly well that this was Mo Fan's instruction, and immediately turned on him, cursing angrily.

Zhao Manyan breathed a sigh of relief, "Mo Fan is a true brother!"

Jiang Yu: "Mo Fan, you are my second father!"

Mo Fan sneered, "Who told you to be weak? If you're bad, practice more. I just don't like you, what can you do about it?"

He had a terrible relationship with Zu Jiming and Mu Tingying, and seeing them fail today made him incredibly happy.

Mu Ningwei slammed his hand on the table and said, "Zu Jiming, you go on stage."

"……yes."

Zu Jiming dared not disobey Mu Ningwei's orders and stepped onto the arena with a grim expression.

"Dongfang Lie, is it? I am Zu Jiming, a high-level mage specializing in poison, curse, and wind magic."

"Where is your cultivation level? Let me at least understand why I lost."

This is a lie.

Zu Jiming's mind was racing. He knew that Mo Fan had already leaked his information, and he wanted to trick Dongfang Lie into revealing his plans.

Ding Yumin's performance just now really terrified Zu Jiming, and he now wants to seize any opportunity.

Dongfang Lie exclaimed, "As expected of the National Team led by Instructor Ning Wei, every single one of them is a high-level mage in three different systems."

"I am a high-level fire mage, a mid-level earth mage with full mastery, and a beginner wind mage."

"this one?"

Zu Jiming laughed loudly, "So you're just a piece of trash, daring to challenge me, young master! You really believed Mo Fan's nonsense, you idiot! Watch how I crush you!"

Dongfang Lie sneered, "It seems there's a reason why Mo Fan asked me to challenge you."

Feng Li raised an eyebrow. "Ning Wei, is Dongfang Lie's cultivation level so low that he's just here to make up the numbers?"

Mu Ningwei looked at Mo Fan.

Mo Fan awkwardly touched his nose. "Instructor Ning Wei, it's really not that I'm trying to suppress Dongfang Lie. It's just that his strength lies in fire magic, and you must have given him that opportunity because you value his fire magic."

"So I guided him to abandon other magic systems and specialize in fire magic."

"His fire element is now close to the second level of the advanced stage, but he's still a tiny bit short..."

Mu Ningwei understood and said to Feng Li, "Just watch, Dongfang Lie may not necessarily lose."

Feng Li was surprised, "He still has a chance?"

On the arena.

Dongfang Lie got into position, waiting for the competition to begin before immediately sketching the constellations.

Zujiming sneered and released the wind constellation. As long as he spread his wings of wind, he did not believe that the drizzle of the high-level first-class Heavenly Flame Funeral - Fire Rain could pose a threat to him.

"Heavenly Flame Funeral - Hellfire!"

Dongfang Lie shouted.

A hellfire stone fell from the sky, and as it got closer to the arena, it became clear that the hellfire was enormous.

The flint rubbed against the air, even emitting a roar like that of a demon from hell!

Zujiming stared at the massive Hellfire Stone, then at his own slender Wind Wings, his face turning ashen.

"Damn it, you brat Dongfang, you lied about your cultivation level to trick me!"

Rumble!

Meteorite impact!

……

Below the arena, Mu Ningwei released his light membrane shield to block the fiery shockwave from the falling Hellfire Stone.

Feng Li glanced at Mo Fan and said, "Well, isn't this a high-level level two magic? You're not being honest, you even lied to me."

Mo Fan quickly clarified, "Instructor Feng Li, I'm innocent! I didn't lie to you!"

"Do you think I'm blind?"

Mu Ningwei chuckled, "Instructor Feng Li, Mo Fan really didn't lie to you."

"Dongfang Lie is indeed a high-level one, but he has innate talent that allows him to unleash the next level of fire magic."

Feng Li was stunned. "Doesn't this mean that he's now close to the second level of the advanced stage, and in a while, he'll be able to unleash the third-level Heavenly Flame Funeral with his fire element?"

Mu Ningwei nodded. "That's why I'm giving Dongfang Lie a chance."

"So strong!"

"A huge C in the later stages!"

"As expected of the genius that Instructor Ning Wei found, Instructor Ning Wei's judgment is still so accurate."

The National Team was astonished.

Looking at the Venis Tournament, how many can unleash high-level level three magic?

In terms of attack power alone, Dongfang Lie has already caught up with the level of a captain of a major power!

Nan Jue thought of Jiang Shaoxu, who was already at the third level of the high-level light system, and sighed sincerely:

"It feels like any student who gains Ning Wei's favor can become a captain-level fighter."

"With Ning Wei's guidance, going to the Venice tournament will be like crushing noobs for us."
