Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 325 Targeted Offense

Bai Mo took out the judgment warrant and gestured towards it, unmoved by the various expressions on everyone's faces. He continued, "First of all, I am a citizen of Kyushu. To benefit Kyushu is to benefit myself and the forces behind me. And Secretary Zu, have you! Has your Zu family benefited Kyushu?"

"Speaking of which, when we were training at the National Government, we encountered a group of members in Asuka City who specialized in stealing babies and taking their hearts. They were from the Green Stone Guild, which surprised me. I didn't expect that there would be such people causing trouble in the Kyushu Sea Frontier. Later, we found out that their guild leader was actually supported by your Zu family."

Upon hearing this, all the secretaries standing behind Shao Zheng looked at Zu Huilin with surprise and uncertainty, while Feng Lisonghe and the others on the other side had slightly flickering eyes. Han Ji's face, which had been angry because of Zu Huilin's words, froze.

Bai Mo didn't observe the crowd's reactions, nor did he wait for Zu Huilin's words. Instead, he faced Shao Zheng and said, just as Zu Huilin had done when he made his suggestion to Shao Zheng:

"Speaker, we have an old saying: 'Be close to virtuous ministers and keep away from petty people.' You should also know about this matter concerning the Zu family. People with such special backgrounds should be thoroughly examined for their character."

Bai Mo is usually not a talkative person, but his words this time stunned everyone present.

Good grief, Zu Huilin said you have no character, so you just added something to this dirty water and poured it on her.

Zu Huilin's face was a jumble of colors, alternating between green, white, and red, as she angrily spoke:

"How dare you! Who do you think you are to speak to me like that? Are you implying that the Grand Speaker has poor judgment in judging people?!"

"Alright, Bai Mo is right. Our identities are special, and every decision we make has far-reaching implications. We need to think carefully about what we say, do, and use. The Zu family isn't all rotten wood and rotten insects. I will give your suggestion a good consideration, Bai Mo."

Shao Zheng didn't expect Bai Mo to expose the Zu family's affairs here, but it wasn't a bad thing. He glanced at the cameraman next to him.

That old woman, Zu Huiyin, couldn't stay still after stepping down from the stage. She even pushed her younger sister back onto the stage, it was like a desperate struggle.

"The Grand Speaker is right. I know Bai Mo and Mo Fan's character perfectly well; they are not as despicable as Zu Huilin described." Han Ji stepped forward and said with a hint of anger in his voice.

"On the contrary, it is you, Zu Huilin, who came here with the Speaker and made a hasty judgment based on just a few words from the two students. Your character is truly worrying! You should apologize to them."

"Han Ji, are you crazy?!" Zu Huilin looked at Han Ji in disbelief, asking her, a secretary-general, and two trainees who were nobody, to apologize?

Especially Bai Mo, a mere student, dared to talk back to her!

No one has ever dared to go against her like this. With her status, she could easily destroy him!

"Hehe, I don't know about others, but Bai Mo really showed our country's spirit in the treasure hunt, and he also helped his teammates. I've spent a few days with these kids, and putting everything else aside, none of them have any complaints about Bai Mo," Pang Lai said lightly with a smile.

"I'm not crazy, Zu Huilin, you have to apologize!" Han Ji insisted, undeterred by Pang Lai's words.

"Han Ji, Zu Huilin only gave me a few words of advice," said Mu Gong, the old patriarch of the Mu clan.

"Alright!" Shao Zheng raised his hand to stop the argument from starting. "The match draw has been completed, so we won't disturb the competition."

"Hmph, Old Han Ji, your cover-up for these two wicked individuals and your slander of the Grand Councilor's Secretary-General speaks volumes!"

Before leaving, Zu Huilin turned around and said to Han Ji in a deep voice.

"Zu Huilin, there are still three matches before the final battle. You can still apologize now, or you'll regret it later!!"

"It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature; a wicked heart is a wicked heart!"

Zu Huilin turned her back to Han Ji, leaving only the back of her head; only her voice could be heard from afar.

This Bai Mo ruined her nephew Zu Jiming's status as a member of the Nationalist government. Judging from what he just said, the fact that his ancestor Zu Hengrao was transferred from his position as Foreign Minister is also related to him.

That's practically suicide! As for that Mo Fan, he's just an eyesore, I'll crush him with a flick of my wrist!

"Bai Mo, what you just said was a bit impulsive," Feng Li said gently.

"I made an enemy of the Zu family in Asuka City. Master, given what the Zu family did, I didn't think they would be magnanimous enough to let me off the hook. Now it turns out that's exactly what happened."

Bai Mo smiled, his eyes flashing, and slowly spoke.

"The Zu family is not to be trifled with," Pang Lai said.

"I'm not someone to be trifled with either." Bai Mo nodded seriously. "After the competition, I'll be graduating soon. By then, I should have reached the Super Rank, so I need to find something to do. I'm good at cleaning. It not only purifies the mind and body but also strengthens the body."

"What a coincidence, I also enjoy cleaning, haha."

Mo Fan laughed. He didn't understand why the old woman was targeting him, but he was very willing to help Bai Mo, and it sounded very exciting.

"I'm different, I only know how to fix water pipes, hehe~" Zhao Manyan leaned over and winked.

"I'm not really good at these things, but if you ask, I can help you."

Jiang Shaoxu chuckled, her gaze still somewhat unfocused. Bai Mo's confrontation with Zu Huilin just now was truly impressive.

The instructors shook their heads and did not join in their conversation.

Bai Mo's decision is undeniable; a powerful enemy is the best way to forge a powerful self.

"Speaking of which, has Mu Ningxue's injury not recovered yet?" Feng Li asked. During the treasure hunt, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue encountered three powerful demons when they obtained the Shadow Matter. At that time, Mu Ningxue used the Ice Crystal Bow.

"She's still quite weak, so I doubt she'll be able to play in the match."

"In that case, the participants should discuss this further," Feng Li said.

The resources gained from the treasure hunt have clearly greatly enhanced the strength of many National Academy students. Some teams have also unleashed their hidden strengths.

The first three matches were America vs. Greece, Britain vs. France, and Canada vs. Egypt. America, Britain, and Egypt advanced to the winners' bracket.

Kyushu team's last match was against Germany.

"Germany is not to be underestimated. Both their captain and their destruction mage are very powerful. We don't know about the other team members; they are all hiding their strength," Jiang Yu said.

"Our team's strength was exposed quite a bit during the treasure hunt, but we didn't reveal anything important, so we don't need to worry about being targeted by them," Ai Jiangtu said, glancing at everyone.

He watched the replay of the match. Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Bai Mo, Mu Nujiao, Jiang Shaoxu, Zhao Manyan and others in the team had all revealed some of their strength, as well as Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni, but the two of them were not important.

The important people are him, Bai Mo, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and Zhao Manyan.

In fact, Ai Jiangtu agreed with Bai Mo's words. With such strength, why shouldn't the team win the championship?

"There are still some. Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Bai Mo, you stay on the sidelines and observe the battlefield," Feng Li said at this moment.

"OK."

Bai Mo readily agreed. He understood that Feng Li wanted to use the previous contestants to test the opponents' strength before letting him finish them off.

Why wouldn't such a good thing be good? He loves getting kills the most.

"Ai Jiangtu, you go on stage and take control of the situation," Feng Li instructed.

Ai Jiangtu nodded. Ai Jiangtu had always kept his abilities well hidden and was quite well-rounded. It was most suitable for him to lead the team to test the opponent's strength.

Without a leader to guide them, it's not a test, it's suicide.

"Mu Tingying, you take control of the situation."

Upon hearing this, Mu Tingying's eyes lit up. She clenched her fists secretly, thinking to herself that this was truly a godsend. Mu Ningxue was injured and unable to participate, which was the perfect opportunity for her to shine.

However, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Feng Li had only sent her up to make up the numbers, to give the opposing team a pair, and not to expect her to perform well.

"Zhao Manyan, you take the defense." Feng Li selected Zhao Manyan again. Although his defensive performance in the treasure hunt was not as outstanding as those famous defensive mages, it was still commendable.

"Next two, Jiang Shaoxu, you'll be in charge of mental protection, and Nan Jue, you'll be in charge of disrupting and protecting, overseeing the overall situation."

Feng Li warned in a serious tone, "The other side has an extremely powerful destruction mage, so you must be careful."

With the lineup ready, some people naturally felt that the attack was not strong enough, but after Feng Li said that he wanted to find out the hidden strength of the German team, everyone was convinced.

Meanwhile, the conversation between Bai Mo and Zu Huilin also went viral on the Chinese internet.

"I knew it! I knew Bai Mo looked all righteous but was definitely no good. Now the Secretary-General has exposed him!"

"Thinking about it carefully, Bai Mo seems to have never given his teammates any room to perform. During the treasure hunt, he even refused to team up with Mo Fan, Eileen, and the young duke, as if he was afraid of being implicated. Does this mean he really has ulterior motives?"

"He's the young master of the Bai family in Shanghai. It's easy for him to suppress his teammates. What's the big deal? He did help Kyushu get into the top eight, didn't he? Although I think the secretary-general is quite right."

"So he's a member of a powerful family. No wonder two big shots are protecting him. Tsk tsk, I don't even dare to think about what's behind this."

This is due to trust in authority, or the behind-the-scenes efforts of the Zu and Lu families.

"Idiot, everyone was holding back their strength in the National University competition. What's wrong with only Bai Mo being exposed? Besides, it was arranged by the National University instructors. I really don't know what some people are barking about here."

"I think Bai Mo is right. What good people are there in the Zu family? My sister is a prime example."

"Indeed, she's quick to label others. Who is Bai Mo anyway? Does she know him that well?"

"Let me spill some tidbits. In the beginning, there was a member of the National Government's official team named Zu Jiming. He left the team after Asuka City. Zu Huilin, Zu Jiming, you can judge for yourselves."

This is either because they believe in Bai Mo, or because they like conspiracy theories.

Pang Lai scrolled through his phone, making clicking noises. Although he was old, he still enjoyed surfing the internet, finding it more interesting than watching those old men playing chess by the wall.

"Haha, old man Han, aren't you going to make another announcement? I advise you to hurry up and do it. Those two lads are now like rats crossing the street."

Pang Lai handed the phone to Han Ji to look at.

"Hmph, someone must be sabotaging this in the shadows. Does Zu Huilin really have such a good reputation? And claiming to be incorruptible? Shameless!"

Han Ji glanced at the comments and articles about the incident and said angrily, "She'll regret this. As soon as the match ends, I'll resume commentary and broadcasting and announce it immediately!"

Shanghai, Baishan Town.

"Yuanzhi, what kind of bullying is your son getting done online? Aren't you going to do anything about it?" A man who looked about six-tenths like the head of the Bai family, with slightly fair skin and fierce eyes, said at the tea table.

"No rush, wait until the competition is over." The Bai family head poured himself a cup of tea, recalling the news Han Ji had mentioned on the phone yesterday.

It was originally something that would benefit the family's development, but he had endured it for a long time in order to cooperate in protecting that kid. Now he can finally cooperate in promoting this matter.

It's a good time. Regardless of the outcome of the National Games, under Bai Mo's leadership, this year's results have far surpassed those of the previous year, which is an indisputable fact.

"After this, we should be able to cooperate with the Habsburg family more proactively."

"I don't care about any of that. I finally got a break." Bai Yuanhao waved his hand and poured himself a cup of tea. "We agreed that if the three brothers competed, the family would take care of whoever lost, and the first-place winner wouldn't have to worry about anything."

"If the cooperation deepens, we might be able to exchange it for a treasure that allows you to advance to the top level, and also add our name to the waiting list. Maybe we'll get lucky and our family will become a powerful clan."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Bai Yuanhao immediately straightened up, stopped sipping his tea, and his eyes, as fiery as the sun, became even more intense.

"Really? Why didn't you say so earlier? Who are you going to fight? Let Xiaoshan show me the way!"

The competition venue changes every day. Today's venue is the Sand Venue, where golden sand covers the entire arena, thick enough to look like a real desert.

"Oh, it seems those Easterners don't take us seriously, Reddy."

"German team," a woman with several black moles on her face said slowly, her eyes slightly narrowed.

"They didn't even have their captain on the field." A mocking smile appeared on Reddy's wooden face.

In the final battle, everyone gave it their all. The Kyushu team was indeed strong this year, but they were still being so secretive in the final battle. They really didn't understand what these Easterners were up to.

"Since they like to conserve their strength, then we'll cripple them in one fell swoop, so they won't have a chance to substitute players. Bai Mo isn't going to play, so he won't have to play anymore," the ice mage from Munich said coldly.

"Don't be careless. The blonde defensive mage and the mind-type woman on the other side both performed admirably in the treasure hunt."

Captain Johnson calmly said, "The match begins. Prioritize taking down these two! Reddy!"

"No problem, I'd be happy to!"

"Go all out, no need to test the waters." Johnson glanced at his team members.

"Yes!" Four voices rang out in unison.

A smile of excitement appeared on Reddy's usually expressionless face. He loved seeing his opponents tremble before him, especially defensive mages who were exceptionally confident in their defenses.

The entire Jinsha battlefield was larger than three football fields, with the two teams separated by half a field. The entire arena exuded a hot and dry atmosphere, as if one were truly in a desert.

The two competitors stood atop two sand dunes, facing each other across the distance. Suddenly, a fierce and raging mountain wind swept up from the German side of the dunes, howling and swirling, sucking up all the sand and forming a sandstorm cloud that protected them.

"Using the environment? I can do that too! Watch my Sand Fortress!"

Zhao Manyan was clearly not to be outdone. With each step he took, he summoned sturdy high walls, forming the shape of a sand fortress.

Ai Jiangtu and his four companions stood atop this sand fortress, a defensive stronghold. Any magic that wished to harm them would first need to destroy this sand fortress.

"Earth Mark." Zhao Manyan activated his magical artifact, adding another layer of amplification to his magic.

"Roar roar roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!"

Just as Zhao Manyan had prepared his defensive magic, a series of explosions came from the sky, like the roars of demons from hell, terrifying to the core!

"It's Heavenly Flame Funeral - Hellfire!" Nan Jue's words pierced through the roaring demons and reached everyone's ears.

Above the sky, a hellfire stone plummeted rapidly, its erupting aura emitting a demonic howl. The closer it got to the ground, the larger the deep green hellfire became, like a massive meteorite bringing apocalyptic disaster, carrying world-destroying flames.

"BOOM~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!!"

A deafening roar erupted as the Hellfire Stones unleashed a terrifying sandstorm. The sand particles flying through the air instantly ignited, transforming into layers of fiery waves. The seemingly impregnable sand fortress's defenses crumbled completely in that instant!

The Hellfire Crown shattered, unleashing a terrifying shockwave. Its powerful force, like a galloping wild horse, swept across half the arena, shaking the outer barrier!

Meanwhile, the Kyushu team was in complete disarray.

To everyone's surprise, Zhao Manyan's defense offered no resistance whatsoever. Under the force of the meteorite and the hellfire, their formation crumbled in an instant.

Crawling out of the scorching sand, Zhao Manyan wiped his face and spat out a mouthful of blood. The Hellfire Stone was right above his head, aimed directly at him!

If he hadn't dodged quickly and used his magical artifact to defend himself, he probably would have been blasted out of the competition by the astonishing fire power at any moment.

"Holy crap, these guys, how could they possibly break through my defenses so easily!" Zhao Manyan cursed angrily.

"Useless! I really don't understand why the mentor would send you out on stage!" Mu Tingying said angrily, her hair disheveled.

"Be careful. Reddy broke through the defense of the third-ranked Billton in one move. His destruction magic must be unique," Ai Jiangtu said.

"Watch out!" Jiang Shaoxu shouted a warning, "The Wall of the Mind!"

However, the eyes of an ordinary mage on the other side suddenly became bright, and a strong mental power swept towards the Kyushu team, immediately building a mental wall for everyone.

"Well!"

Unexpectedly, the overwhelming mental power that swept over Mu Tingying, Ai Jiangtu, and Zhao Manyan was merely a feint; the real power rushed straight at her, instantly pulling her into a mental illusion.

"Defend quickly! That destruction mage's magic is coming again!" Nan Jue shouted, not having time to check Jiang Shaoxu's condition.

Flames, a deep green flame, roared out again, but instead of condensing into the Heavenly Meteor Hellfire, they formed a long, thick, and enormous fire python under Reddy's control. Its massive body resembled a prehistoric beast, and it pounced towards Zhao Manyan and the others!

"Damn it, you're coming after me again! I'm going to fight you today!"

Zhao Manyan became furious. Waves surged around him, splashing open a star-shaped throne and summoning a curtain that hung from the sky.

"Totem Marks!"

Zhao Manyan used all his strength, even bringing out the blessing of the totem artifact, but the fire python seemed to pass through water plants, directly tearing open the Water Splendor Sky Curtain that Zhao Manyan had used with all his strength, and biting at it without any reduction!

The fire python had a clear objective and still gave Zhao Manyan no room to dodge. It crashed into him with a bang, creating a swirling wave of fire and air, which then viciously slammed and pounded towards Ai Jiangtu and the others around them.

The sudden change stunned Mu Tingying and the others. They could clearly see that the fire python passed directly through the water curtain, which meant that the defensive magic was completely useless!

At the critical moment, Ai Jiangtu reacted the fastest. A flash of silver light appeared in the void, and he teleported away with Nan Jue and Jiang Shaoxu, who were closest to him.

"So there's a space mage too!"

As soon as they appeared, Ai Jiangtu heard a cold laugh and felt a gust of wind blow around them, forming a storm tornado that would shred them to pieces.

The owner of that voice did not stop at all, heading straight for the place where the flames were surging!

"Old Ai! Zhao Manyan can't go down! I'll hold off the Destruction Mage on the other side!"

Nan Jue spoke very quickly, saying that at this critical moment, he could no longer care about Jiang Shaoxu, who was lost in her mental illusion.

"Alright!" Ai Jiangtu responded emphatically, his cold gaze sweeping over the surrounding turbulent winds, like a beast king warning the surrounding beasts, suppressing the surging and roaring air currents.

He strode towards Zhao Manyan, his eyes fixed on the female mage with several moles. He saw her lash out with a wind whip, sending the charred and unsteady Mu Tingying flying, before rushing straight towards Zhao Manyan.

A cold glint flashed in Ai Jiangtu's eyes. He reached out and grabbed, and the enormous spatial claw suddenly tore towards the female mage.

The female mage's expression changed, she suddenly stopped, and with a swift movement, she left the spot.

On the other side, Nan Jue kept using the sound string to interfere with and interrupt Reddy's destruction, which immediately attracted the attention of the opposing captain, Johnson.

"You're well-prepared, but you're without teammates to protect you!"

As shadows shifted, Qiao Sen's voice suddenly appeared beside Nan Jue, who was approaching Zhao Manyan. A circle of shadows surrounded Nan Jue as he appeared.

In an instant, shadowy sword nails appeared one after another, striking the sonic mage who had been disrupting them without the slightest hesitation.

Nan Jue's expression changed. She knew that if she was also eliminated, and Jiang Shaoxu did not wake up in time, they would be in a very passive position and lose the ability to restrain the opposing destruction mage.

"Damn it, what's Jiang Shaoxu doing? A mental mage, and he's been controlled by the enemy's mental mage!"

"Mu Tingying from the Mu family is useless. Look at other destruction mages, all she knows is to scream and get beaten up."

"The defense mage is useless too, can't even block a single spell. That's it, this year's class is over."

Feng Li, watching from the sidelines, frowned. He knew that his plan had been seen through, and that the opponent was targeting his own mind and defense mages right from the start.

Seeing Jiang Shaoxu being approached by the Wind Mage who had circled back, and Nan Jue who was trapped in a predicament, even Yi Li, with his composure, became nervous.

With the battlefield being strategically divided by the enemy, Nan Jue, Jiang Shaoxu, and Mu Tingying of the Kyushu team must reunite with Ai Jiangtu and Zhao Manyan!

However, Jiang Shaoxu and Nan Jue are in dire straits and will be eliminated if nothing unexpected happens!

Mu Tingying, however, could do nothing and failed to ascertain much of the opponent's strength.

"Old Feng, your decision has backfired."
