Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 312 Sea Garden

His approach was a targeted strategy, using an assassin lineup to counter the opponent's summoner composition.

"Hmm, that's good. With your close-combat abilities after you rush in, the opponent will definitely suffer a great loss if they are caught off guard."

"Since the opponent is using an extreme summoner build, we should counter with an extreme assassin build. This is indeed an excellent approach."

Songhe strongly agreed with this combination, and with Zhao Manyan present, it wouldn't be considered a naked charge, at least leaving some room for maneuver.

Everyone present finally breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed smiles appeared on their faces, with only a few people not being very happy.

The happiest person must be Guan Yu, who hasn't even played a single game in all this time!

At least Zu Jiming got to show his face on stage, and even Nan Rongni got to play.

Of the National Team members present, only he and Mu Tingying were still on the bench.

It looks like there's a very good chance I'll get a chance to play!

Assassin battles are generally very quick to end, with little to no protracted fighting, unless there are unexpected events.

Mu Tingying's face was gloomy, and her fists were clenched under the table. She was about to become a laughing stock again.

Especially Guan Yu's smug grin, which looked like a shark's mouth, gave her an urge to tear him to pieces.

"Okay, let's stick with this starting lineup for now!"

"Please keep today's conversation confidential. I don't want to hear anything I shouldn't hear."

"I don't care if you have conflicts during training, but you'd better keep that in mind on competition day."

"If there's nothing else, it's best to rest at the hotel and stay in good condition."

"The recent competition schedule is very tight. If you feel unwell, please report it in advance, and our support team will be there for you."

Feng Li glanced at Chief Pang Lai beside him, who remained silent, and then said, "Alright, everyone, meeting adjourned!"

The countermeasures have been discussed and concluded, but that obviously doesn't mean everything is fine. The secrecy of the tactics is also very important, and the talk of sealing off is not just empty words.

Colluding with the enemy is not too rare; there have always been bold people. Those who haven't yet taken the field might feel resentful, and it would be incredibly easy for them to secretly leak out the tactics.

Once the opponent knows the tactics in advance, especially with such a highly targeted lineup counter, it is easy to be countered.

There were nearly twenty participants present, including members of the National Government Team, some members of the National Museum Team, and teachers.

Only a handful of regulars actually participated in the battles; not even all the members of the National Government Team had been rotated, let alone the members of the National Pavilion Team.

Their chances of playing are extremely slim. This is the demanding nature of the National University Tournament; having the opportunity to participate does not guarantee a chance to play.

Apart from Wang Teng, almost everyone who played today went back to their rooms to meditate and recover their magical energy. At this critical juncture, no one would be foolish enough to make a mistake.

A large group of people are watching them closely. If they make a foolish mistake, they will be ruthlessly replaced and relegated to the bench.

……

After a short rest of most of the day, the competition continued the next morning.

This kind of intense competition puts a team's resources to the test; without strong logistics and supplies, it's difficult to keep up with the pace.

The opening of the Venice Grand Prix attracts worldwide attention and is almost impossible to stop, with no time allotted for rest and recovery just because a team is injured.

Sometimes choices are crucial. If you can't win in terms of raw strength, a head-on confrontation is not a good option; it will only harm your team.

Not every game needs to be won; sometimes it's wise to concede a little and conserve your strength.

Unlike in the past, today's competition venue is quite special.

The third round used a sea garden arena, an irregularly shaped circular area about 500 meters in diameter on a flat island near the sea.

Because it is only two or three meters above sea level, the island will be submerged in seawater during stormy weather.

Despite its name, Garden Arena is actually just a dense mangrove forest surrounding the outer edge of the entire island.

Mangroves are not green shrubs; in this world, they are as vibrant and colorful as fiery red flames.

Aside from occasional use for competitions, this place is usually a super-large entertainment plaza, a leisure paradise where people gather to relax.

Because of the World University Tournament, the island was transformed into a magic arena, serving as one of the competition venues for the tournament.

Spectators travel on four huge cruise ships that circle the entire Garden Arena, offering a panoramic view of the arena.

Boom! ...

Fireworks continued to burst into the sky, instantly igniting the atmosphere for the spectators.

As the two players entered the arena for the first match, the Garden Arena's barrier rose, and a transparent wall of light encircled the entire island.

"They seem very confident!" Mo Fan twisted his wrist, his sharp eyes allowing him to see the Egyptian team more than 400 meters away.

"I'm all ready. I'll put the shields on you as soon as the referee announces it!" Zhao Manyan said excitedly.

The match between the Assassin build and the Summoner build is about to begin. If successful, it will break Egypt's undefeated streak.

Both being the biggest dark horses, they now meet on the field, and the outcome is probably what all the spectators are eagerly anticipating.

"Alright, watch your positions, you three stay closer to me."

"Ai Jiangtu, you make the first move, and I'll follow up. We'll attack from the left and right to disrupt their formation."

"Seize the opportunity and quickly cripple or severely wound them!"

As the leader of this assassin-style strategy, Wang Teng had to meticulously plan the battle sequence, as he only had one chance to launch a surprise attack.

Once they rush over, the enemy, if they're not stupid, will immediately summon their armored magical artifacts to defend themselves; there's still a split second they have.

To ensure their speed of attack, he and Ai Jiangtu will only use telekinetic attacks. The power is passable, but Ai Jiangtu might not be able to seriously injure them because his mental strength level is not high enough.

"Okay!" Ai Jiangtu responded seriously, positioning himself slightly further away from Wang Teng.

Mo Fan, Guan Yu, and Zhao Manyan moved closer to Wang Teng.

A salty sea breeze gently blows, and sunlight shines on the earth and the sea, giving rise to a sense of vastness and immensity.

"Players, get ready!" The referee's voice came down from above.

As the competition countdown began, every contestant couldn't help but show signs of nervousness.

"The match begins!"

As the referee gave his loud command, the sound still echoing above the island arena, the five members of the Egyptian team chanted the same incantation almost simultaneously.

The blurry gray star trails around them quickly wove into a crimson pattern embedded in the dark brown earth beneath their feet, unlike a star map but exuding an eerie and dangerous light!

"Wake up, warriors!!!"

Five Egyptian team members simultaneously bit their fingers and splattered the blood onto the dark brown, hard soil.
