Chapter 88: Beating Up the National Team Player, Terrifying the Island Nation's Mage

The Dual Guardian Arena.

The arena is diamond-shaped, with three corners exposed at a height of seven or eight hundred meters in the air. Apart from the invisible barrier, there is not a single railing.

This diamond-shaped arena is not thick; it looks more like a sheet, supported by a rock formation extending from the mountain below.

This diamond-shaped arena must be made of a special material, otherwise it wouldn't be used for mages to spar. Ordinary stone blocks can't withstand even a mid-level spell.

The arena is very wide, almost the size of a football field, so it's not a problem for multiple people to fight.

When Xu Beichen and his group arrived, the arena was already filled with people, including military mages, hunter mages, teachers, students, and even some high-ranking members of the Dual Guardian Pavilion.

They hadn't really taken the Chinese national team seriously, but the suddenness of the match forced them to pay attention.

"You can decide the competition format," Xu Beichen said, looking at Wangyue Mingjian, who was sitting at the front.

Without saying much, Mochizuki Meiken handed the reins entirely over to the Kokukan teacher, Fujikata Nobuko.

He knew very well that the National Team of China this year was very strong, and the National Team had no hope of winning.

"Keep it simple, one-on-one duel, best of five," Fujikata Nobuko said directly.

"Can."

Xu Beichen agreed, then walked up to Ai Jiangtu and the others and asked, "Who among you wants to go on stage?"

"I want."

Count me in.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were the first to express their opinions. They both wanted to make a good impression here, hoping that they might be able to win over the beautiful female students at the National Academy.

Neither Ai Jiangtu nor Jiang Yu showed much interest; both wanted to conserve their strength.

Dongfang Lie, Guan Yu, and Zu Jiming showed some interest, but not as much as Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan.

"Alright then, Dongfang Lie and Mo Fan, you two go up."

After a moment's thought, Xu Beichen decided on two candidates.

"Brother Xu, this is a best-of-five series, so at least three people need to play."

Zhao Manyan suddenly remembered something and looked at Xu Beichen with disbelief. "Brother Xu, you're not planning to go on stage yourself, are you?"

"You're bullying me!"

Zhao Manyan knew that Xu Beichen had already reached the high-level realm a long time ago, and his current strength was absolutely formidable, far surpassing that of a mage like himself who had just entered the high-level realm.

"If I don't go on stage and give it a try, wouldn't I have come all this way for nothing?" Xu Beichen retorted.

"Uh, that's true." Zhao Manyan was at a loss for words.

The thought of a mid-level national academy student from the island nation about to suffer a bloody beating from Brother Xu immediately piqued Zhao Manyan's interest.

Fujikata Nobuko noticed that the Chinese team only fielded three players, and immediately frowned, saying, "This is a best-of-five series, don't get it wrong."

"To deal with you, winning the first three matches is all we need to do," Xu Beichen replied casually.

The island mages around him were in an uproar. They first looked at each other in bewilderment, and then all turned to glare angrily at Xu Beichen.

How dare they look down on their national team players like that!

Hearing the jeers around him, Xu Beichen simply smiled faintly, as if he didn't take them seriously at all.

"That bastard!"

Mochizuki Chika gritted her teeth as she looked at the arrogant Xu Beichen, wishing she could personally teach him a lesson.

"Dongfang Lie, you go first." Xu Beichen decided to send Dongfang Lie to get things started.

Dongfang Lie possesses the talent of a mutated star, and his talent alone makes him far superior to someone like Zu Jiming.

But with the Zu family backing him up, getting votes was incredibly easy for Zu Jiming.

Poison is indeed very powerful, but it wasn't demonstrated at all in Zujiming.

"Yes, Captain," Dongfang Lie replied respectfully.

Dongfang Lie rode the breeze directly to the competition stage, then arrogantly beckoned to the blond youth below.

"Come up here and get beaten up!"

Dongfang Lie has a fiery temper. He is not willing to submit to anyone except Xu Beichen, and he is also very belligerent.

Seeing that he was being looked down upon, the blond youth Okamoto Takashi flew into a rage and also flew onto the competition stage.

"Let me teach you a lesson, you rude fellow," Okamoto Takashi said.

"I can't be bothered to argue with you!"

As Fujikata Nobuko announced the start of the match, Dongfang Lie quickly drew a fiery red star map.

"So fast!!"

Okamoto Takashi's pupils contracted. The star map was being drawn two or three times faster than his own. How could this be possible!

Could this person be a high-level mage?

"Fierce Fist - Flame Dragon!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Dongfang Lie had no intention of engaging in a protracted battle; he immediately unleashed one of his strongest techniques!

The fiery dragon, symbolizing the return of all things to one, charged straight in, fiercely attacking Okamoto Takashi on the opposite side of the arena.

Okamoto Takashi was completely stunned. Was this really a mid-level spell?

He couldn't possibly defend against that move!

Okamoto Takashi was a speed-oriented mage, and the quality of his armor and magical artifacts was not high, so he couldn't withstand a level 5 Fierce Fist that was comparable to a high-level spell.

Seeing this, Fujikata Nobuko, who was closest to the arena, immediately released a Water Curtain to block Okamoto Takashi's attack.

"Is your Chinese team trying to rob and kill us?!"

After successfully blocking the attack, Fujikata Nobuko immediately began questioning Xu Beichen.

If Okamoto Takashi were hit by this move, he would undoubtedly be seriously injured, and it might even be life-threatening.

"Heh, according to the organizer's rules, if either side is injured during the challenge, the other side is not liable. You can't be unaware of that, can you?"

"Besides, how did we know that your national team players would be so weak that they couldn't even withstand mid-level magic?"

Xu Beichen spoke calmly and methodically.

Upon hearing this, Fujikata Nobuko and the group of Japanese monks were so angry they almost vomited blood.

You call this intermediate-level magic?

But they are now suffering in silence, unable to express their bitterness, since this person did indeed use the star map to cast the magic.

"What an incredible natural talent!"

Any mage with a discerning eye could tell that this was an innate talent.

After all, strengthening a level 5 Fierce Fist requires 49 Servant-level Essence and 49 Warrior-level Essence, and it would be difficult for a national team player to come up with so much money to strengthen a Star.

"Shall we continue?" Xu Beichen said calmly.

Fujikata Nobuko looked back at the National Hall players, who were now terrified and had all shrunk back, a stark contrast to their previous arrogance.

Just as Fujikata Nobuko was about to admit defeat, Mochizuki Chika walked over.

"Do you dare to have a match with me?"

Mochizuki stared at Xu Beichen and said, seemingly intending to personally win back face for Shuangshou Pavilion.

"Stop fooling around, Qianxun," said Wangyue Mingjian, standing up immediately.

Mochizuki Chika ignored him and continued to stare intently at Xu Beichen.
