Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 134 Instant Kill

"Now, please welcome our on-site referee, mentor Yan Li, to the stage with Wang Teng and Zhou Mo, the two contestants for the first match!"

The host then shouted loudly, which energized the crowd.

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

A round of applause erupted from the crowd; there were many people watching, especially students.

"I didn't expect to be the first one..."

Wang Teng slowly stood up, a bright smile on his face. A silver constellation flashed around him, a loop pattern he had specially modified. His purpose was to let some people know that he was still using the Star Rule, but that his essence had not changed. Then his figure suddenly disappeared and reappeared at one end of the arena!

"Ooh ooh..."

"Oh, oh, oh..."

……

Wang Teng's impressive entrance drew enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

When Zhou Mo saw this scene halfway through the race, he felt as if his feet were stuck in glue, and he couldn't move his feet.

High-level spatial mage!

He was only at the mid-level of spatial cultivation, which he thought was quite powerful. Even if he couldn't compare to the captain of the National Team, he should still have a chance to get a spot.

But he now realized how naive he had been; this was only the first person, and it was already so outrageous.

Is the general group really that scary? He was starting to regret it and wondered if he could still apply to other groups.

"This guy just likes to do fancy things."

Wei Ming looked at the group of teachers leading the group with a helpless expression, but he could barely keep up the smile on his face.

The other teachers wore wry smiles, pandering to Wei Ming; they wanted that kind of flashy stuff too.

"Zhou Mo, hurry up and get on the stage to compete!" Although Yan Li felt sorry for him, as the referee, he couldn't just ignore the competition.

Seeing his dawdling, I immediately spoke up to remind him.

Zhou Mo finally walked quickly onto the stage. With so many people watching, if he didn't even dare to step onto the stage, he would probably be criticized to death afterwards.

"Both sides, prepare!" Yan Li's eyes were sharp and his expression serious as he saw that both sides had taken their positions.

"The match begins!"

Zhou Mo was on high alert, but the next moment he felt his mind go blank, and he turned around and walked off the stage with lifeless eyes, like a puppet on a string.

As a referee, Yan Li had a very sharp eye; Zhou Mo's condition was clearly affected by the high-level mind-control magic, Soul Control.

After watching Zhou Mo walk down step by step, he immediately stood up and announced the results of the competition.

"Wang Teng wins the match!"

The host rushed forward and approached Wang Teng, asking, "Wang Teng, would you like to defend your title?"

"Yes!" Wang Teng replied calmly.

"Alright, let's welcome the next contestant, Yang Yanling, to the competition."

This time, the host didn't run too far; he just stepped off the stage and stayed right there to watch over the audience.

The final judges' table.

"Good heavens, he's actually a high-level dual-system expert in both spatial and mental manipulation! And his skill level is quite high!" Feng Li's eyes gleamed as he looked at Wang Teng on the field.

This magic-based team composition is almost on par with Ai Jiangtu's; it's like a god in mage battles. I just don't know what the opponent's third magic-based skill is.

"He's a talented person—judging from his clothes, he should be a student at Mingzhu Academy."

"Mingzhu Academy is going to be in the limelight now."

"There's a glimmer of hope for this National Championship."

"Hmm, not bad~"

Finally, Songhe said enviously, "He can't just open his eyes and say things he shouldn't."

Among the five national academy instructors, there are many who are of higher seniority than him, but the only ones who take charge are him and Feng Li.

To put it bluntly, the others came as leaders to inspect the event and participate in the activities, while he and Feng Li were responsible for doing the work.

If you don't do a good job, you might get scolded. After all, the leaders can't be wrong. If something goes wrong, it's because the two of them didn't manage things well.

On the field, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the speed of the turn was extremely fast, and no one could withstand Wang Teng's mind-controlling and soul-capturing techniques.

"The Comprehensive Group is so pathetic. Luckily, I'm in the Destruction Group." As a fellow member of the Pearl Academy team, Dongfang Lie watched as those who had signed up for the Comprehensive Group were so ruthlessly driven off the stage, which was truly humiliating.

If you can't even cast a spell when you go on stage, what's the point? To be a clown?

"So that's why Director Wei Ming advised us not to join the comprehensive team. If we go up there and then get kicked out, that would be quite embarrassing."

Mu Nujiao also looked relieved. Luckily, she had listened to Wei Ming and hadn't taken any chances by trying her luck in the comprehensive group.

In less than ten minutes, the first place in the comprehensive group was determined, with Wang Teng emerging victorious with a perfect record of defeating all his opponents in the same group.

"Congratulations to Wang Teng from Mingzhu University for winning first place in the comprehensive group competition with a perfect record."

"Next, please have the other members of the comprehensive group come up for the round-robin competition."

The host was also speechless. How come such a monstrous student didn't come from a prestigious university in the capital?

Wang Teng had already stepped off the ring and returned to the contestants' seat; the selection process was over for him.

Months of preparation before the competition, only to find the actual competition lasts less than half an hour. The experience was devoid of any real combat fun, and it was far less interesting than monster hunting.

These people signed up for the general group without even bringing any magic artifacts to resist mind-based magic, and they're not mind-based mages themselves. Who are they looking down on?

He didn't even bother to use his spatial abilities; just glancing at the other party was enough to show him respect.

Sitting in the players' seat, Wang Teng closed his eyes to rest, ignoring the gazes around him.

With his dominance gone, the others breathed a sigh of relief and went on stage to fight using spatial magic.

The general group is basically a group that is very confident in themselves. Their major magic is unlikely to be elemental magic; they are most likely spatial magic.

In terms of combat power, the space-based system has a very high advantage.

Among the elite students gathered from all over the country, there must be some majoring in space-related fields, but they can only pale in comparison to the prodigy.

This is the overwhelming combat power that only a true genius can demonstrate, not the kind of fighting style that a slacker can use to fight anyone, but whose victory or defeat depends entirely on luck.

The competition is progressing relatively slowly, which is only because Wang Teng's methods are more powerful, leading to the speedrunning comprehensive group.

Each match lasts about ten minutes, and everyone has to play ten matches. Even with the magic altar provided by the Imperial Academy to quickly restore magic power, everyone will still feel exhausted.

This is the intense competition of the university selection process. It is a necessary process; otherwise, there will always be people who are dissatisfied and feel that their talents are being buried.

That's good. With the round-robin format, we can play to our hearts' content, and there's no need to complain too much afterwards.

As the overall standings continued to change, it gradually came to noon, and the competition entered a break.

Everyone left the arena and headed to the free cafeteria provided by the Imperial Capital Academy for a meal.

"Wang Teng, come have dinner with me. I've already sent back the news that you came in first place in the selection competition."

"Dean Xiao was very pleased to hear this!"

Wei Ming cheerfully invited Wang Teng to have lunch together. He was in an exceptionally good mood this morning and could eat at least two large bowls of rice.
