Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 158 The champion is decided, the boss's unspoken rules for employees?

A few days later, the final competition officially began.

This year's final round of the World University Competition was less exciting than in previous years.

Since everyone already knows who the champion is, they naturally lose interest.

Cheng Xiao's Treasure Hunt, where she defeated a hundred opponents single-handedly, can be considered the final battle in some respects.

This so-called grand final was merely a process for the Kyushu National Government team to claim the top spot.

The remaining seven teams will strive for second place.

"What is the competition process?" Mo Fan asked curiously.

"The first match is Greece vs. France, the second is Great Britain vs. the United States, the third is Canada vs. Egypt, and the last match is against Germany," Jiang Yu explained.

"Germany seems to be the team that Cheng Ge beat the worst in the treasure hunt," Zhao Manyan said.

Cheng Xiao thought back for a moment and realized that there seemed to be such a thing.

The fifteen Nationalist-led coalition forces, with the Germans as the vanguard, were the first to be dealt with by Jaeglitt.

"I won't go on this one. Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, Zhao Manyan, Nan Rongni, and Ai Jiangtu, the five of you will go on," Cheng Xiao said.

Mu Ningxue plays the role of the destruction mage, Mu Nujiao mainly focuses on restraint, Zhao Manyan is the defensive mage, and Nan Rongni is the best support mage.

The vice-captain, Ai Jiangtu, who majored in spatial engineering, was a jack-of-all-trades, serving as a backup for the team.

Feng Li also expressed his approval of this lineup.

The match began quickly.

The winners of the first three matches were Greece, Great Britain, and Egypt.

France, the United States, and Canada have fallen into the loser's bracket.

The fourth match is between Kyushu and Germany.

Both teams had fairly balanced lineups, but the difference in skill level between the players was simply too great.

Ai Jiangtu was a top player at the captain level, while Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao were even more powerful.

With the addition of Nan Rongni, a top-notch healer, the German team only lasted for less than ten minutes before being defeated and falling into the loser's bracket!

The German team members were pale.

I thought that since the Kyushu National Government team didn't send Cheng Xiao to the game, they would be able to put up a fight.

They brought out their strongest lineup as soon as they entered the game, but who would have thought that the Kyushu National Government team, even without Cheng Xiao, would be so formidable.

Even when Johnson and Reddy joined forces, they were still forced to retreat.

Under the clash of magic, Reddy was completely outmatched by Mu Ningxue, and was practically killed instantly!

The Kyushu National Team is truly full of hidden talents.

Even if Cheng Xiao never plays, the Kyushu National Government team will still be the biggest dark horse of this season, right?

..............................

The first round of the competition has ended.

The performance in the competition also led to changes in the rankings of the contestants.

Cheng Xiao naturally tops the list, without a doubt, and his position remains unshakable even without playing time.

Zhe Luo, who was in second place, was beaten by Mu Ningxue. In fact, their performances on the field were equally good, but more people supported Mu Ningxue.

There's no way around it, looks are everything.

The third place is still not Zhe Luo, but Mu Nu Jiao!

Although Mu Nujiao's cultivation and combat power are not as good as Zhe Luo's, Mu Nujiao has the Heaven-level Xuan Snake Armor.

Once the Black Snake Armor was opened, Zhe Luo couldn't scratch it even after fighting for ten minutes, and couldn't hurt Mu Nujiao at all.

In the end, Zhe Luo, who possessed advanced three-element cultivation, was surprisingly ranked fourth.

This somewhat comical ranking is rather amusing.

late at night.

Cheng Xiao played with Mu Ningxue's hair and asked curiously:

"Are you confident you can beat Zerg without using the Ice Bow?"

Mu Ningxue looked up at him and spoke softly:

"You seem to look down on me?"

"What do you mean by looking down on me? I'm just concerned!" Cheng Xiao pinched her cheek.

"Even without the ice bow, I can still beat Zhe Luo," Mu Ningxue said.

"Sister Qin's special training for me was not for nothing."

"Since you're so confident, then you can be the main player tomorrow," Cheng Xiao said softly, holding Mu Ningxue in his arms.

Mu Ningxue understood his meaning and said softly:

"Thanks."

Cheng Xiao knew that she wanted to clear her lineage of suspicion because of Mu He through her own efforts.

Therefore, Cheng Xiao kept creating opportunities for her to prove herself on the field.

But her gratitude was met with Cheng Xiao's questioning:

"What do you mean?!"

"What do you mean? It means thank you?"

Mu Ningxue's tone softened slightly; she didn't understand why Cheng Xiao was questioning her in such a tone.

"We're already sleeping in the same bed, and you still treat me like an outsider?" Cheng Xiao pinched her cheek and continued to question her.

Mu Ningxue looked completely innocent:

"Didn't you say so yourself? Is this considered an unspoken rule by the boss towards his employees?"

"Even if it's an unspoken rule, you can't treat me like an outsider. You've already signed a contract of servitude; you're mine now, understand?" Cheng Xiao asked fiercely.

"How come I never noticed how domineering you were before?" Mu Ningxue couldn't help but frown.

"You talk as if you knew me so well before. Lift your head up."

"Ugh... You're always bullying me~~~"

"."

..............................

The second round of the competition begins.

The first matches were played in the losers' bracket, with the United States and Canada emerging victorious.

In the winners' bracket, Kyushu was once again the main event.

Egypt miraculously won the match between Greece and Egypt!

This outcome was quite unexpected, considering that Greece's overall strength was much greater than Egypt's.

But the problem is that Egypt possessed a special method that could summon the dead infinitely, which led to the fall of Greece.

Even with Asha's leadership, they still lost to Egypt!

Cheng Xiao knew that it was the Pharaoh's Fountain.

The Pharaoh's Spring possesses very pure life energy, which can continuously resurrect the dead and even summon more dead.

If the necromancer is not dealt with, the mana will be depleted by the constantly regenerating undead, until defeat!

Of course, Cheng Xiao didn't take this to heart; it posed no threat whatsoever.

The last match of the day is between Kyushu and Great Britain.

The lineup hasn't changed much, with Mu Ningxue still playing a key role.

The outcome was already known, so Cheng Xiao didn't care at all. He ran to the Greek national team's rest area before the game even started.

The Greek national team had just suffered a defeat and was in a bad mood, especially Asha's team.

Sensing a familiar presence, Asha'ruya walked out of the lounge without a word, as if in a huff.

Upon seeing Cheng Xiao, Asha Ruya sneered:

"What, you came here specifically to mock me because I lost again?"

"Don't think so badly of me, okay?" Cheng Xiao said helplessly.

Asha Ruya sneered disdainfully.

"I'm here to comfort you."

"roll!"

"."

Seeing that she refused, Cheng Xiao didn't waste any words and forcefully pulled her into his arms from behind.

"What are you doing! Let me go!" Asha Ruya twisted her body, but she couldn't break free from Cheng Xiao's restraints.

"If you want your teammates to see our two captains doing this, then keep shouting. I don't care," Cheng Xiao said.

Sure enough, Asha's voice gradually faded away.

She raised her face, her angry expression now tinged with a hint of grievance:

"Do you have to humiliate me like this?!"
