Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 245 Famous Double Standards

After Ai Jiangtu said a few words, the group dispersed and went about their own business.

"Xuexue~ You're finally back. The National Team is so boring without you."

Mo Fan immediately smiled and licked his lips, but chatting on the phone was really like scratching an itch through a boot, not relieving any of his boredom.

Mu Ningxue was already used to his roguish manner. "Let's go, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Okay, let's go!"

Mo Fan was overjoyed. His gaze lingered on her full breasts, and his lecherous hands reached out to embrace her tempting waist.

"grass"

Guan Yu's attention was focused on Mu Ningxue, but he didn't expect that he would be fed a dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) without realizing it. His face looked as ugly as if he had swallowed a fly.

Zhao Manyan looked on with envy. Mu Ningxue was indeed incredibly beautiful, but she needed to be warmed up with great effort, which he didn't have the energy for.

He glanced at Guan Yu with pity in his eyes. Even a young master from the capital couldn't compete with the power of a rogue. Watching the goddess he fell in love with at first sight enter someone else's arms was a bitter pill to swallow.

Looking back at the other side, Jiang Shaoxu was holding Wang Teng's arm tightly, and the two left chatting and laughing.

"Sigh~ I'm going back to cultivate. I should go to the club less often these days."

"My current cultivation level is a bit too risky. The people ahead of me are too strong, and it's hard to say whether I'll have a chance to shine."

Zhao Manyan felt a little nervous. He should start working hard now that he had gained an advantage, and he had to maintain it.

Either don't compete, or if you do compete, make sure you achieve results and reach your goal, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain.

Suppressing his thoughts of just waiting to die, he turned and returned to the hotel.

"Hmph~ I want to let you be smug for a while..." Guan Yu's eyes darkened. He had to work hard on his cultivation from now on, or he would really become a clown.

The Venice World University Tournament is no longer just about competing against other teams; it now requires competing against your own teammates as well.

If you're too weak to even get a chance to compete, going to Venice is pointless. Feng Li's mentor's principle of promoting the capable and demoting the mediocre is truly realistic and cruel.

Thinking about his own magical configuration, it was almost the same as Li Kaifeng's, but he mainly studied wind magic, which was not very useful at the high level and did not fit with an assassin at all.

It won't bring about a qualitative change in strength. Only when the Shadow Tie reaches a high level can it form a positional advantage and fully unleash the full power of the Thorn Armor.

"A miscalculation...time is running out."

A hint of regret flashed in Guan Yu's eyes. The more seriously he took it, the more he realized that there were many things he hadn't considered.

I thought my intermediate level strength was enough. With my special spiked armor and the wind and shadow elements, I could basically do well among assassins.

Therefore, he didn't think much of it. But now, in the blink of an eye, his teammates are all striving to reach the third level of advanced magic, while he is still stuck in the middle level, which makes him seem really insignificant.

However, when he tried to break through to a higher level of magic, he chose the wind element, which put him in a dilemma. Now, whenever he thinks about it, he wants to slap himself.

Habits are a bad thing. Since wind magic suits him better than shadow magic and can better enhance the thrusting power of his spiked armor, he has gotten used to using wind magic, and now it seems that he is bound to magic by his spiked armor.

……

The next morning, at Ai Jiangtu's call, the group headed to the Mexican Pavilion.

The journey was more difficult than anyone imagined. The distance from Bluestone to Mexico City was nearly a thousand kilometers, with dense forests and mountains, and the possibility of encountering monsters from time to time.

Even though everyone was in good physical condition, they had only covered half the distance by evening, when they were exhausted.

On a wide-open meadow, everyone pitched their tents, lit a campfire not far from the tents, and placed various kinds of roasted meat nearby.

sizzle...

Wang Teng skewered some unknown wolf thigh meat on a stick and put it into the campfire, where it kept sizzling and dripping with oil under the heat of the flames.

Besides him, several other people did the same; this was their evening picnic.

"It should be okay now, right?" Jiang Shaoxu's mouth watered involuntarily as she smelled the aroma.

"Wait a minute~ This is the thigh meat of a War General-level Dire Wolf, it's very heat-resistant, it's not cooked properly."

"Mo Fan, quickly ignite your soul fire, this ordinary flame won't work."

Wang Teng could only ask Jiang Shaoxu to be patient, and then urged Mo Fan on the other side. This guy only knew how to use his soul fire to grill meat for Mu Ningxue, but didn't even know to share some soul fire with her.

"Okay, okay..."

Soon, golden-red flames spread, greatly enhancing the grilling effect. The flames even had a purifying effect, turning the thigh meat golden and translucent...

A few minutes later, Wang Teng pulled the large skewer out of the campfire. It had four square slices of meat skewered on it, with even cuts on the surface. The meat was golden brown and curled up.

"Okay, all done~"

I casually pulled out a bottle of barbecue spices, poured some powder on it, and this was the pre-mixed and processed finished product.

The residual heat from the grilling quickly infuses the spices, releasing an even more enticing aroma.

"If it's too hot, you can cool it down..."

Mo Fan turned his head and looked at the two guys next to him who were eating heartily, and suddenly the meat in his mouth lost its flavor.

"You have ingredients and didn't even share them? You're such a sly person! Let me use them!"

He grumbled as he picked up the spice bottle from the grass and started processing his barbecue again.

The spice bottle quickly circled the campfire and returned empty.

Jiang Shaoxu leaned directly against Wang Teng. After walking all day, her legs were about to break, and she didn't even have the strength to stand up.

"It's so delicious..."

"Nanjue~ How are you feeling?" Jiang Shaoxu looked at her relaxed best friend and had a pretty good idea of ​​why.

"It feels great... No wonder you were able to control the stars in such a short time." Nan Jue smiled happily; the control artifact that Jiang Shaoxu used for her was of very high quality.

Compared to her usual practice on the whiteboard, her efficiency was more than ten times higher. Last night, she managed to control fifteen stars at once, which was simply unbelievable.

This put her mind at ease. Before long, she would be able to complete the advanced constellation, become familiar with advanced magic skills, and keep up with the team.

Once she can skillfully unleash high-level sonic magic, the chances of her being eliminated are slim. After all, she has put in so much effort and worked so hard; it would be the most painful thing to be eliminated because of insufficient strength.

"It's good that it's useful. I don't want to miss the Venice Games, that would be such a shame."

Jiang Shaoxu chewed on the grilled meat. Although she usually invited a few girls in the team to go out and about all day, their relationship was just so-so, and she only helped them out of friendship.

Of course, she usually has a sharp tongue, and there aren't many girls who can tolerate her, except for Mu Ningxue and Nan Jue.
