Chapter 97 Zujiming Eliminated

Under Xu Beichen's leadership, the National Government Team quickly hunted down a large number of sea monsters, enough to upgrade to a four-star team in one go.

Of course, the main reason was that Xu Beichen killed several commander-level sea monsters; otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to achieve the goal so easily, a goal that would have taken other teams a year to complete.

After the tide subsided, everyone received their rewards and went into seclusion to cultivate.

Of course, Zujiming did not participate in the demon hunt, so he did not receive a share of the mission rewards.

However, given the Zu family's wealth, they clearly don't value a piece of the Star River Vein. Zu Jiming is probably already trying to break through to the advanced level.

But regardless of whether Zu Jiming reaches a high level, Xu Beichen will definitely kick him out of the team.

Because the four-star team completed their mission ahead of schedule, the mentor team learned of this and flew to Tokyo.

All the members with intermediate cultivation levels have broken through to the advanced level in the past two days. Except for Xu Beichen, everyone else has reached the same starting point.

The mentors had barely arrived in Japan when they sent a message to Xu Beichen.

As the team captain, and the captain handpicked by Hua Jun, Xu Beichen has a certain say in the selection of eliminations.

"Since everyone has reached the advanced level, why not let them compete? That would be fairer," Dean Songhe suggested.

"No, the competition may seem fair, but it is actually very uncertain. Jiang Shaoxu, as a mental mage, and Nan Rongni, as a healing mage, cannot be eliminated."

Feng Li immediately retorted.

They were unaware that Xu Beichen also possessed a mind-based magic ability, and a mind-based mage was essential for the team. Therefore, Jiang Shaoxu, as a mind-based mage, had to stay behind.

As for Nan Rongni, it goes without saying that a wet nurse is absolutely necessary.

Seeing that they had been discussing and debating without reaching a conclusion, Xu Beichen spoke up directly:

"Of all the mentors, I think the most suitable candidate is Zu Jiming."

"Zujiming?"

Dean Songhe and the other three mentors were stunned. Zu Jiming was backed by the Zu family, making him one of the most difficult candidates to challenge.

However, as the captain personally appointed by the leader of the Hua Army and a hero of the ancient capital catastrophe, they had to consider Xu Beichen's suggestion.

If Zu Jiming is really kicked out, then Zu's family will definitely take measures to put pressure on him.

"Xu Beichen, do you know what Zu Jiming said about you?"

Only Feng Li remained expressionless as he looked at Xu Beichen and spoke.

"It's nothing more than treating him differently and failing to fulfill his duties as captain."

Xu Beichen's eyes remained calm; he had long anticipated that Zu Jiming would make some underhanded moves.

"Then what do you say?" Feng Li threw the question at Xu Beichen, giving him a chance to defend himself.

"That's a fact, I admit it," Xu Beichen said quite frankly.

"What?"

Dean Songhe and the others were stunned. They had considered many possibilities, but they never expected Xu Beichen to admit it directly.

"I never considered him a teammate. A guy who abandons his teammates at any time, doesn't actively participate in training missions, is weak, and is cowardly doesn't deserve to be my teammate."

Xu Beichen belittled Zu Jiming to the point of worthlessness, believing him to be utterly worthless.

Having a rare poison-type pet makes one think they're an important member of the team, but in reality, they have no combat power whatsoever, not even as good as Mu Tingying and Guan Yu.

"Abandon your teammates?" Feng Li's eyes narrowed, clearly very interested in this matter.

Xu Beichen simply recounted how Zu Jiming ran away on his own, without embellishing the story at all, as it was an undeniable fact.

"Zu Jiming will be the one eliminated," Feng Li decided directly.

"Should we discuss this further, or go and ask for the reason?" Dean Songhe suggested.

Xu Beichen frowned. Was Dean Songhe out of his mind? What was there to discuss?

He really had an urge to twist his dazed head off and kick it like a soccer ball.

"No need to say anything more. If the Zu family has any objections, feel free to come to me." Feng Li left no room for negotiation.

"Mo Fan, who do you think will be eliminated this time?"

As the team assembled, Zhao Manyan looked at Mo Fan beside him and asked.

Zhao Manyan wasn't worried about being kicked out of the team at all. He was already a high-level dual-elemental player, which put him among the top players in the team.

Mo Fan has already reached the advanced stage of the third element, and his cultivation level has even surpassed that of Ai Jiangtu.

"Zu Jiming or Mu Tingying, perhaps," Mo Fan said bluntly.

In Mo Fan's view, Zu Jiming and Mu Tingying were undoubtedly the weakest, and they did not have any outstanding performances along the way.

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

"Damn, Mo Fan, are you stupid? These two were sent in by the Zu and Mu families, there's basically no chance they'll be eliminated," Zhao Manyan said.

Although Zu Jiming and Mu Tingying are weak, as long as they don't make any major mistakes, they are enough to reach the end with the support of the aristocratic families.

"Does this Nationalist team even care about connections?" Mo Fan asked, bewildered.

"Nonsense, why do you think you need votes to get into the National Team? The votes alone have already filtered out most of the trainees, and the Mu and Zu families can easily get votes."

Zhao Manyan looked at Mo Fan with a hint of speechlessness, really wondering how this guy had cultivated to his current level.

"If the National Team achieves good results, the forces behind it will also gain considerable benefits. Do you think the Mu and Zu families will let them leave the National Team?" Zhao Manyan asked rhetorically.

Mo Fan was stunned, clearly not expecting that this team would be involved in such complicated matters.

"Isn't this too unfair? If we're going to compete with teams from other countries, shouldn't the best be chosen and the worst eliminated?" Mo Fan said.

"Heh, fairness, that's a ridiculous word."

Zhao Manyan patted Mo Fan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Mo Fan, you're still too naive. Learn more from me in the future."

Mo Fan punched the guy hard in the chest and said fiercely, "Speak properly."

"Actually, although it's a bit cruel, it's really hard for commoner mages to compare with aristocratic families. The more commoners there are, the more resources they'll need later on, and you might not be able to beat them," Zhao Manyan said.

At this moment, Feng Li, Song He, and several other mentors walked over with Xu Beichen.

"Zu Jiming, pack your things and come back to China with us tomorrow," Feng Li said.

"What?"

Zu Jiming's pupils contracted, his face filled with disbelief, and then he shouted, "What right do you have to kick me out? I'm a full member, and I'm backed by the Zu family!"

If he is kicked out of the national team, his family will definitely give up on nurturing him.

Without the family's resources, he would be completely useless.

"If you're not satisfied, feel free to have your aunt plead with the Grand Speaker and see if he'll back you up," Feng Li said coldly.
