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

Chapter 187 Aiming at Venice!

Mu Ningwei smiled slightly as he accepted the praise from the crowd, "Dongfang Lie hasn't won yet, so opening champagne at halftime isn't a good habit."

Feng Li immediately stated, "So what if Dongfang Lie loses? We'll give him another chance to challenge us once he breaks through to the second level of the advanced stage."

Mu Ningwei glanced sideways, "Mentor Feng Li thinks highly of Dongfang Lie."

Feng Li laughed, the tiger-head wrinkles on his forehead becoming even more pronounced. "Didn't you say, Ning Wei, that you'd give Dongfang Lie a chance to obtain a soul seed?"

"High-level level three magic, plus the amplification from the Soul Seed... wow, that scene was absolutely amazing! Someone like that definitely deserves to join our team."

"Unfortunately, time is a bit tight, and it's not enough for Dongfang Lie to break through to the third level of the advanced stage."

"Otherwise, I don't know how I would have lost to a high-level, fourth-tier Soulfire spell!"

"Ning Wei, you have such excellent taste!"

Mu Ningwei nodded, "Dongfang Lie possesses this talent, and he can indeed be considered one of our trump cards."

Well, Dongfang Lie is just one of the trump cards.

Mo Fan's demonic abilities and Mu Ningxue's ice crystal bow are the real trump cards.

Mu Ningwei looked forward to his students turning the Venus Tournament upside down in a few months.

……

Dongfang Lie and Zu Jiming were of similar strength. Relying on the advantage of going first, Dongfang Lie caught Zu Jiming off guard and almost lost in the subsequent battle before narrowly defeating Zu Jiming.

Zujimin went completely mad after losing the match.

Did he lose the game?

He lost in life!

"Professor Ning Wei, please give me another chance. I will definitely work hard and take the lead to help you win the championship!"

"Stand over there, we'll talk about your business later."

Mu Ningwei pointed to the corner, his tone calm.

Zu Jiming's machine-gun-like pleas abruptly ended, revealing an unquestionable authority. Together with his fellow sufferer Mu Tingying, they dejectedly walked to a corner to await their fate.

Mu Ningwei looked at the team members gathered in front of him.

Except for Mu Ningxue, whom he had forgotten in the Tianshan Mountains, everyone was present and quietly awaited his instructions.

Mu Ningwei spoke up: "There are less than four months left until the Venus Tournament."

"In the final stretch, there's no need to split into teams anymore. Our mentor team will consider things from a team perspective and help you make your final push."

Zhao Manyan and Jiang Yu were overjoyed.

Not being divided into teams means they can also follow Mu Ningwei and receive his guidance!

This is wonderful!

Mu Ningwei: "Our mentor group has already discussed the specific arrangements."

"Now listen to me..."

Mu Nujiao's raw strength is undeniable, and with the support of plant and insect servants, she is powerful in every way. As long as she steadily improves, she will be the strongest member of the team.

Jiang Shaoxu's light-elemental ability has now surpassed that of the mind-elemental ability. She can engage in mind-level combat, as well as offense and defense, making her the second most solid member of the team after Mu Nujiao.

Ai Jiangtu needs to specialize in spatial magic to become the strongest crowd control mage.

This coincided with his own plans.

Nan Rongni specializes in assisting others.

In contrast, Bai Tingting can temporarily suspend her healing cultivation and develop other magic systems to become an auxiliary character with self-defense and even combat capabilities.

Nan Jue specializes in sound magic, becoming a team leader and a perception and disruption mage.

Zhao Manyan specializes in defense, while Jiang Yu is responsible for summoning powerful reinforcements.

Dongfang Lie is a formidable opponent in tackling tough challenges.

There are also Ding Yumin and Mo Fan, as well as Mu Ningxue, who has hidden summoning abilities.

The Shenzhou team is brimming with talent!

"Over the next few months, you will train according to the requirements I just mentioned. Afterwards, I will take you to several places, such as the wilderness, the Forbidden City, and the court, to hone your teamwork skills."

"Let's disband."

After finishing his business, Mu Ningwei turned his attention to the two who had been eliminated.

Feng Li, Qin Yu'er, and the other students didn't rush to leave either; they stayed to watch the show.

Mu Ningwei: "You—"

"Professor Ning Wei, please, please let us stay! We'll do anything!"

Mu Tingying knelt down with a thud, gripping Mu Ningwei's wrists tightly with both hands, and looked up to plead.

"Mentor Ning Wei, please give us a chance! If we fight back, we're sure we'll get a spot on the team!"

Zu Jiming didn't lower himself to kneel; instead, he bowed deeply, firmly believing that he was just one opportunity away from success.

Even if Dongfang Lie is holding back, he still has a 60-70% chance of winning if they fight again.

Even if he doesn't challenge Dongfang Lie, he still has a high probability of winning against Jiang Yu and Zhao Manyan!

Mu Ningwei pondered, "Indeed, I am certain of your strength."

The two were overjoyed.

"But according to the rules, if you fail, you have to leave the team."

The two were anxious.

"However, I believe that if you are well-prepared and challenge some other players, you should be able to win."

The two were caught in a state of mixed emotions, both happy and sad, by Mu Ningwei's actions, unsure of what expression to make.

Mu Ningwei clapped her hands lightly, "Alright then, I won't make things difficult for you."

"As long as you can persuade the Mu family and the Zu family to provide the National Government team with a batch of resources, I will guarantee that your spots will not be eliminated and you can participate in the Venice Tournament."

"After all, it's come to this point, it's not right to substitute two of our trained players at the last minute."

Seeing hope, Mu Tingying and Zu Jiming were overjoyed, as if granted a pardon. "Thank you so much, Instructor Ning Wei!"

"Thank you, Professor Ning Wei, for giving us this opportunity!"

Mu Ningwei continued to promise, "If you bring in enough resources, I can guarantee you'll get more appearances. I believe the others won't have any objections."

Mu Tingying and Zu Jiming looked over.

Mo Fan spoke righteously, "Mentor Ning Wei, as you know, Mu Tingying, Zu Jiming, and I are like brothers and close friends, and I can't bear to see them leave the team."

Zu Jiming: "..."

His expression was as if he had swallowed a fly, clearly distressed.

Jiang Shaoxu chuckled twice, "As long as the resources are in place, I have no objection... I mean, resources are a minor matter. The main thing is that I've been teammates with Tingting for many years, and I can't bear to be separated from her."

Mu Tingying: "..."

We've only known each other for less than a year.

Others also expressed their opinions.

A little disapproval, but what's more important than real, tangible resources?

Professor Ning Wei is truly superior!

This allowed the Shenzhou team to extract a large amount of resources from the two major clans.

As expected, following Mentor Ning Wei brings rewards.

Feng Li was initially amazed by Mu Ningwei's thought process, which was able to come up with this method without offending the two major clans, while still gaining benefits.

Then, he noticed the strange looks in the eyes of the Shenzhou team members, and their faces darkened.

"What are you looking at! Everyone's dismissed. Aren't you going back to prepare for special training? Do you want to start right now?"

The Shenzhou team shook their heads in unison, and within seconds, everyone disappeared.

Feng Li laughed angrily, "A bunch of little brats..."

"They're practically guaranteed the championship this year, all thanks to their mentor, Ning Wei!"

"Hey you two, shall we go grab a bite? It's on me."

Mu Ning readily agreed, saying, "Since Master Feng Li is inviting us to dinner, there's no reason not to accept."
