Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 310 Brainstorming

After winning two games in a row, everyone's confidence was ignited.

However, now is the time to rest and watch the losers' bracket matches in peace.

The upcoming matches are USA vs. Canada, followed by Germany vs. France.

In less than ten minutes, the battle had already begun. The American team was as fierce as ever. Jesse, with her long, golden waves, used her plant-type moves like a blooming dance, easily pushing the Canadian team into a desperate situation.

With the support of the two summoners on the team, the Canadian team was defeated at a visible speed.

Even though the US team lost to Greece in the first round, their overall strength is clearly superior to that of the Canadian team.

Just from the ease with which the game went, it's clear that the Canadian team's apparent strength is no match for theirs.

Next up was the match between Germany and France. Unfortunately, in the first game, Germany's key players were clearly not fully recovered, and their fighting power was very limited.

After battling the French team for nearly an hour, they finally had no choice but to concede defeat.

The second round of competition has concluded, with China and Egypt advancing to the best-of-two group. Of the remaining four groups, Greece, Great Britain, the United States, and France are in the best-of-one group, while Germany and Canada are in the worst-of-zero group.

After the competition ended, the schedule for the third round was quickly presented, and there was no longer a need to draw lots to determine the opponents.

The first match was China vs. Egypt, the second was Greece vs. France, the third was the United States vs. Great Britain, and the fourth was Germany vs. Canada.

The weighting of the four matches is different. The first match will determine a best-of-three group, skipping the fourth round and entering the final fifth round.

The group that loses the first match will face off against the winners of the second and third matches in a four-way battle. The fourth match is purely for the rankings of those outside the top three.

In the fourth round of the three-way battle, the top two teams will be determined according to the elimination order, and the first place team will compete against the skipped team in the final.

The champion will be decided in the fifth round. If you win the group that skips the group, you will be the champion; if you lose, you will be third.

If the first place winner in the three-way battle loses the final, then the second place winner will be the third place winner.

If the first place in the three-way battle wins, then it is the champion. The second place in the three-way battle will be ranked second, and the skip group will be ranked third.

The competition format is quite dramatic, and the three-way battle will be a fierce contest involving tactics, strategy, strength, and even backstabbing.

This is the most suspenseful competition ever! Winning gives you a chance to advance to the championship, while losing means you can only wait for fate to decide your fate.

"We must defeat the Egyptian team tomorrow!" Zhao Manyan was quite familiar with the competition rules, after all, the National University Tournament had been held for many years.

"Yes, those four teams are all incredibly strong, no matter which two qualify. The three-way battle is too unpredictable." Jiang Yu also felt the same way.

"We can win one-on-one, but it's very risky to win one-on-two."

Nan Jue quickly analyzed the situation and realized that the match was very difficult. Those who had managed to hold on until now were unlikely to be far behind.

Just because Wang Teng can withstand it doesn't mean others can. If they are targeted, it will be difficult for others to persevere.

"Tomorrow we'll just give the Egyptian team a good beating, and I'll be the striker!" Mo Fan said, waving his hand vigorously.

He also understood the enormous pitfalls of a three-way battle, where one wrong move could mean certain death.

At this point in the competition, no one wants it to end here. If they beat the Egyptian team, they can see the championship; at the very least, they can get third place.

This year's rewards have been announced, and there are still no changes. The first place is still the Divine Seal Praise, the second place is the Void Altar, and the third place is the Set of Magical Items.

All three rewards are excellent, the kind that are almost impossible to buy with money, and even if you could, the price would be prohibitive.

"I'm afraid the Egyptian team will think the same way. They will definitely go all out to get at least a third-place finish as a reward," Ai Jiangtu quickly thought.

At this point, no one will give up easily. Who can guarantee that they can stand out in the three-way battle? If the other side colludes and they are the first to be eliminated, then it's all over.

"Let's go back to the hotel and get some rest. We'll discuss this further later," Instructor Feng Li immediately called out to everyone.

Now that the match has ended and the match schedule has been released, the people in the venue have begun to leave in an orderly manner.

A group of people left the arena in a flurry, including some high-ranking officials, clearly indicating that the match had reached a critical juncture.

The team consisted of members of the National Government Team and the National Pavilion Team, along with instructors and mentors, Chief Pang Lai, and Chairman Han Ji.

Hotel high-rise lobby.

It seemed they were already prepared; as soon as they returned, they found a group of analysts organizing data.

Many young trainees who witnessed this scene felt both bewildered and impressed.

"This is the detailed information on the Egyptian team, which the team collected during the competition. Everyone can take a look and learn more," Coach Songhe immediately called to the data collectors.

Soon, everyone received an A4 sheet of paper with the Egyptian team's magic and fighting style recorded on it.

"After a series of battles, it can now be confirmed that their secret weapon is the ability to endlessly summon undead mummies."

"These undead mummies are very versatile. There are a large number of scarlet mummies, a small number of powerful axe mummies, ghosts that can fly and are immune to elemental attacks except light, and huge death knives mummies."

"We cannot rule out other hidden methods. Their main reliance is on a large number of scarlet mummies to deplete the enemy's magical energy and ultimately achieve victory."

"One more thing, the opponent's summoning speed is extremely fast. They can summon hundreds of scarlet mummies in about ten seconds after the start of the match."

"If the problem cannot be resolved in the early stages, it will be dragged into a protracted war by the other side."

"The scarlet mummies are mostly at the servant level, a small number are at the warrior level, and a few other undead are between the warrior and commander levels during their advancement period."

One of the analysts stepped forward, gave a brief analysis of the data, and then left.

"This match against Egypt is very important for the rankings, so I invited everyone to come and see how to arrange the starting lineup." Feng Li's gaze swept over the players from each national team.

Chief Pang Lai and Chairman Han Ji sat on the sidelines listening, seemingly without any intention of getting involved.

Zu Jiming and Mu Tingying's expressions kept changing, and they occasionally glanced at the two leaders beside them, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Ai Jiangtu, you go first," Instructor Songhe said, breaking the dull atmosphere.

Almost everyone's attention was focused on him, but Ai Jiangtu ignored all the stares for the time being.

After glancing at the information on the paper several times, he finally spoke, "I don't think we have many options."

"Egypt's weakness is only in the first minute or so. We either need to find a breakthrough there or fight a protracted battle."
