Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 277 A Great Humiliation

The arena was completely enclosed by a tight barrier, and defensive mages were stationed outside the barrier to block any potential overflow of energy.

These are mostly done by high-level mages; the destructive power of a single high-level spell is enough to shake an entire street.

Therefore, even in a fighting arena that appears to be so large, one must not let one's guard down.

Internationally, duels between mages are not encouraged, largely because energy is difficult to control.

The more powerful a mage is, the more devastating the destruction they can cause. There have been many instances of friendly fire caused by mage duels in the past.

The ground was initially soil-like, with fine dust scattered on it. It seemed that a single wind spell could easily raise a cloud of dust.

However, several old mages soon entered the area and began to modify the landscape using their earth and plant magic.

The site quickly changed dramatically, with soft soil, hard mud, high rocks, and hills forming different landforms in full view of everyone.

Next came a performance by several veteran plant-based mages, where ancient trees could be seen rising from the ground.

The lush green forest formed a dense canopy that shaded the earth, and the tree trunks were covered with long vines and tendrils, intertwining to create a youthful, otherworldly version of the birth of the tree world.

Before long, the magic arena had completely transformed into a wilderness battlefield. If it weren't for the fact that the entire area was still surrounded by a barrier and the arena walls, it would have felt like being completely in the middle of the forest!

"The event organizers really didn't cut corners; they hired all professional venue engineers!"

Jiang Yu looked at the almost flawless outdoor fighting arena and sighed.

Considering the different magic systems of different mages, the terrain can give mages an advantage to some extent.

Therefore, each official match in the Venice showdown is a temporary battlefield set up after the contestants are determined, and the type of battlefield is often random, which is where luck comes into play.

Sometimes luck is also a part of ability...

"This type of open-field battlefield is a relatively neutral fighting ground, with neither side having any particular advantage or disadvantage."

"So this battle will be decided purely by the strength of both sides," Mentor Feng Li said calmly.

"Both players are in position." The referee's voice rang out.

Under the watchful eyes of their mentors, the contestants entered their designated positions in the competition area, each occupying one end and gazing at each other from afar.

Those in the high seats at the far end immediately began a heated discussion, since all the information about the players from the Nationalist teams was kept secret before the competition.

Only a very small number of people have access to inside information, but those who do know the inside information generally won't reveal it, because that's the unspoken rule.

Therefore, information about each athlete from each country has become one of the most discussed topics.

Many information brokers will even dig up everything that this player has experienced since awakening!

"This is my first time competing in such a big arena, I'm a little nervous," Jiang Yu said in a low voice.

"What's there to be nervous about? Just beat them to a pulp!" Jiang Shaoxu noticed Jiang Yu's nervousness and said with great confidence.

"Don't be nervous. What do I have to be afraid of? I'll defend against all the magic that attacks the formation."

"You guys seize this opportunity to show yourselves. If I take the initiative to make a move afterward, the game will probably be over."

Seeing that they seemed a bit nervous, Wang Teng had to step forward and offer some encouragement.

"Hmm!" +4

The four responded one after another, and their expressions seemed less tense. Having someone to back you up is reassuring.

The countdown to the fireworks had already begun in the sky. When the fireworks burst in the center and echoed with a thunderous sound, the opening match of this world university competition would officially begin!

Boom~~~~~~~~~~~

A loud bang came from above, and the colorful fireworks illuminated Mu Ningxue's fair, snow-white face. She slowly raised her eyes and focused intently on what was in front of her.

A breeze blew by, ruffling the hair beside Mu Ningxue's cheek.

Mu Ningxue took a light breath and could feel an unusual aura in the wind. It seemed gentle and empty, but it carried a sense of danger.

"There's poison in the wind," Mu Ningxue said to her team members with a stern look and considerable certainty.

At the same time, she immediately cast a wind spell, "Wind Barrier!"

A whirlwind surrounded everyone, shutting out the air mixed with poison powder.

"These bastards, they used underhanded tactics on us. It seems like that long-faced man used poison powder," Jiang Yu cursed.

Jiang Shaoxu, standing to the side, appeared rather calm. She glanced at Jiang Yu and said, "You should stay away from people like Mo Fan in the future. Why do you keep swearing? You weren't like this when you first joined the team."

"Pay attention! An assassin is approaching!" Nan Jue sharpened his hearing and quickly discerned the attack.

"Jiang Yu, send your cat-headed friend to take him down!"

"Mu Ningxue, hurry up and get to work!"

Wang Teng stood on the high rock with his hands in his pockets, and with nothing else to do, he began to direct the battle.

The two sides were more than 400 meters apart, which is actually a very short distance. If Shadow Cloak rushed quickly, they could reach each other in the blink of an eye.

"Ahem~ Her name is Fei Fei~ Wang Teng, she'll be unhappy if you call her that." Jiang Yu looked a little embarrassed, but still let her out.

"Meow~"

Night Rakshasa exuded a commander-level aura, let out a very dissatisfied howl towards Wang Teng's location, and then angrily went to find the guy hiding in the forest.

Wang Teng wasn't surprised at all that the cat head could advance to the commander level. Jiang Yu had already broken through to the high-level summoning system, and the suppression of Night Rakshasa had disappeared.

Jiang Yu is Pang Lai's prized disciple, so the resources to train Ye Luocha to the commander level must have been prepared long ago.

To truly shine in the Academy Competition, only Commander-level Contract Beasts can achieve that; Contract Beasts at the Warrior level are practically just easy targets.

Mu Ningxue understood the meaning and, without wasting any time, immediately unleashed her domain, combined with wind elemental stacking, and ice element quickly occupied the area.

The entire forest was covered in frost at a visible speed, and a biting icy wind blew across the battlefield, causing the ice and snow to accumulate to a thicker and thicker layer.

The powerful punches, blasts, and sandstorms flying from the opposite direction weakened halfway through their flight, with some even freezing into ice blocks and falling down.

With the remaining power, Wang Teng stood in front, stretched out his right hand, and waved it in the air to dispel the magic, as if swatting a fly.

"Ah~"

A scream suddenly echoed from the snow-covered, frost-covered forest.

Ming Busong's face was filled with terror as he touched the large gash on his face and felt the sharp pain in his thigh, reminding him that he was in grave danger.

But his gaze was fixed on the night cat licking its paws not far away; he had just been ambushed by this cat!

This is an utter disgrace!
