Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 139 The Tournament Ends

"Your magic is truly amazing. In a mage duel, you'd practically be dominating everyone else."

"Ai Jiangtu seems to have spatial, curse, and lightning magic, which is incredibly powerful, definitely a protagonist-level magic setup."

"It's truly a miracle that the two of you made it into this National Games."

"Besides, I also majored in mental medicine. If we take turns playing, we can torture the opponent to death."

Jiang Shaoxu blushed as she slowly analyzed the situation and realized that both of them were captain-level candidates; having even one in a team was already a remarkable achievement.

This means that the National Government team can split into two teams for rotation matches, with each team having a core player.

It seems to overlap with her magic system, but it's not a big problem as long as she's not in the same group as Wang Teng.

Having two mind-based mages in the team is a terrifying thing for the opponent, as it means they have to keep using mind-based mages or constantly use mind-based magic to resist magical artifacts.

Having a fixed mage position reduces the flexibility in arranging other personnel, which is already a significant advantage.

Compared to Jiang Shaoxu's magic, Nan Jue obviously didn't have this worry. Her sound magic served to disrupt and provide auxiliary damage, so there was no overlap between them.

Wang Teng simply smiled at Jiang Shaoxu's praise.

There aren't many people in the team who can truly be relied upon.

In the original story, it seems that these two women were unable to unleash high-level magic until the match, which shows that they were also part of a peaceful and tranquil life.

He had actually learned about magical artifacts that could resist mind magic. Every magical artifact has a limit, let alone a special kind of mind magic.

Being able to resist mid-level mind magic does not mean being able to resist high-level mind magic.

The material limitations are significant, but the production process is relatively straightforward. The core material is made from the bones or gallbladders of spirit-type demons, resulting in limited resistance, with less than half the power of a demon remaining.

The battle between mages is essentially a battle of magical energy, plus a battle of mental strength and personal magical skill.

Wang Teng dared to say that even if the opponent possessed a mind-resistant magical artifact, he could overload and destroy it in an instant.

Unless the other party possesses a magic-resistant artifact crafted from commander-level materials, but is that even possible? Mental-type demons are incredibly hard to find; they're not as common as ordinary demons.

Not to mention the discovery of core materials, the price is no longer based on realm level. It wouldn't be surprising at all for a warrior-level material to sell for the price of a commander-level material.

The price of materials from the Commander-level is very reasonable when sold to the Monarch-level; this is simply a matter of rarity.

Therefore, the magical artifacts used by the students in the Academy Competition were definitely only warrior-level mental magical artifacts, with a limited resistance effect of only half, and those of slightly lower quality could not even reach that level.

With just such a mind-based magic-resistant artifact, a mind-based mage was rendered helpless? This just goes to show that people can't be compared.

If Nan Jue's sound-based abilities reached a high level, she could unleash high-level magic, which would be enough to annihilate the opponent. Unfortunately, she can't do that.

If even these two are like this, you can imagine how the others will be. They used only mid-level magic in the academy competition. Breaking through to high-level magic is the same as not breaking through at all, except that they have more magic power.

From what he knew, Mo Fan was probably at a high level and was willing to risk everything to buy all sorts of magical cultivation artifacts.

Mu Ningxue is exceptionally talented, and with the aid of the ice bow and Mo Fan's sycophancy, she can be considered second among her female peers, though she cannot compare to Ding Yumin.

Finally, there's Zhao Manyan. That guy is pretty good at defensive magic and has a lot of magical tools; he's a real treasure.

These five people are enough to sweep aside the university competition. As for the others, they are not very noticeable.

Time passed quickly as everyone chatted, and at 10 p.m., dinner ended and everyone left.

……

The competition is progressing rapidly. After the Assassin Group finished, it was the Control Group's turn. Surprisingly, Mu Ningxue signed up for the Control Group with an Ice-type skill and almost dominated the entire competition.

Mu Nujiao's plant-based abilities were no match for Mu Ningxue's ice-based abilities.

With the control group's match concluded, the summoning, defense, and destruction groups took turns competing, and the entire tournament lasted for nearly two weeks.

"Dear teachers and students, this selection competition has now come to an end. The final list of participants will be determined by the five mentors."

"The specific selected individuals will be notified to the university, and then the university will notify the individuals."

……

After the host finished his announcement, Wang Teng stood up, stretched, and left his seat.

The viewing experience was alright; there were some geniuses, but whether they'll be selected is another matter entirely.

The group returned to their dormitory, and it was just past noon, enough time to head back to Shanghai.

They left the university in the capital and headed to the airport, transported by a bus arranged by the university.

The group quickly returned to Mingzhu Academy by plane.

The end of the selection competition did not attract much social attention; it was only a lively event within the industry.

Only the World University Games receive widespread attention, not just for rankings, but also for various benefits, comparable to the World Cup in the world.

As soon as Wang Teng returned, he received calls from Ding Yumin and Tang Yue.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be fine. The selection process went smoothly this time."

"Of course, you don't even know what kind of strength I have~"

"Alright~ Be careful on your mission..."

On the main campus of the university, Wang Teng held Ding Yumin's hand and sat on a campus bench. He took Tang Yue's phone call and chatted for a while before hanging up.

"How have you been lately?"

He stroked Ding Yumin's hair and began to show concern for his girlfriend beside him.

"It's alright, it's just that people keep urging me to participate in the selection competition, saying it would be a pity if I didn't."

"It only calmed down after the qualifiers ended."

Ding Yumin pouted and glared at him. This guy really was trying to please both sides. But seeing that he still cared about her, she let go of her slight unhappiness.

Why should those people care about them? Their own futures are uncertain, why would they have the mind to worry about you?

"Let's not talk about them anymore. How much Star River Magic Artifact Soul Energy do you have left?"

"I'm estimating the time; it should be almost up, right?"

Wang Teng had less than half of his soul energy left from last time, and Ding Yumin must have been cultivating at a very high intensity during this period, so her soul energy consumption must have been very high as well.

"There's only a little bit left..." Ding Yumin reached out and pulled out the Star River Magic Artifact from her bosom, but the pendant was completely blank, with only a little gray left at the bottom.

"It's all used up, where else is there? Don't be so stingy, I'm not short of spirit essence."

Wang Teng took out the Soul Vessel, which contained the essence of the advanced-stage undead commander. He still knew how to charge the Star River Demon Artifact.

He quickly activated the patterns on the pendant, took out the essence and brought it close to the pendant. A suction force came and swallowed the essence.

Having had its consciousness shattered, the spirit naturally had no instinct to resist and could only obediently submit to his arrangements.

The essence immediately filled the blank space in the pendant, and the entire pendant's patterns began to shimmer, completing the connection with the essence.
