Full-Time Mage: Starting with Gengar, selected for the National Tournament

Chapter 5 Program Begins

I wandered around the town for half an hour.

The two then returned to the hotel.

The next two days.

Chu Ming stayed in his room to meditate, and his three meals a day were delivered to his door.

The competition is about to begin.

It's a good thing to suppress the hype, since he has no intention of associating with those scions of powerful families anyway.

early morning!

The deep sound of bells rang out throughout the town!

The entire town of Wutong is filled with the soothing sound of ancient bells!

The production team of "The Masked Master" and the contestants who were already fully prepared set off for Fengming Mountain behind Wutong Town!

Some family members and friends who had obtained tickets and came to watch the game also started heading out early.

[Your Gengar has increased its current level (lv28) by 5% after a day of AFK training.]

[By receiving support from Gengar, your physical attributes have been further enhanced.]

[Thanks to Gengar, your progress in poison magic has slightly improved.]

[Thanks to Gengar, your progress in mastering Shadow magic has slightly improved.]

"Comfortable!"

Chu Ming got up from the bed.

Feeling the power growing stronger every day, I can't help but feel great. At this rate, I should be able to become a super rookie in a few years.

On the surface, he majors in summoning.

But no one would have imagined that his physical abilities could be compared to those of demonic creatures.

Although in this world, mages possess considerable power.

But if you get close.

It's still quite dangerous!

Especially for summoning mages who invest all their resources in summoned beasts and have no means of self-defense or defeating enemies, this is extremely weak.

Of course, Chu Ming was not among them.

As Gengar grows stronger, his physical abilities, as well as his Shadow and Poison magic, also continue to improve.

"I'm about 20,000 points away from 100,000 points. I can draw a new Pokémon soon!"

Chu Ming was filled with anticipation.

The system allows you to draw from the "Gashapon Machine" once every 10 accumulated points, and obtain a new spirit.

I wonder what type of Pokémon the next one will be.

And his thoughts.

Ideally, the attributes should be geared towards high burst damage.

Such as fire and lightning elements.

This way, he can also obtain the magic damage output.

As a mage, relying solely on summoning creatures or melee combat is not a viable strategy.

I want to become a powerful mage.

Having a strong magical output capability is essential!

Anyway, the summoning-type spirits he mainly cultivates can level up as long as he leaves the game running, and they can also boost Chu Ming's own magic cultivation. He doesn't have to worry about having too many spirits and not having enough resources to distribute in the future.

……

dong dong! !

A crisp knock sounded on the door.

Jiang Shaoxu's voice then came in.

"Xiao Mingming, open the door, I brought you breakfast!"

"Time to set off today!"

"They're here! They're here!"

Chu Ming put on his pants, slipped on a white shirt, and opened the door.

Jiang Shaoxu, carrying a bag of breakfast, glanced at Chu Ming's eight-pack abs under his shirt with her cunning eyes, and her gaze immediately brightened.

"Let me touch it!"

"Go away, stop fooling around!"

Chu Ming grabbed Jiang Shaoxu's playful little hand and quickly went into the bathroom to wash up.

As a young man full of energy and vitality.

Getting provoked first thing in the morning could lead to trouble.

I washed up.

Chu Ming quickly finished his breakfast and left the hotel with Jiang Shaoxu.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The streets are already bustling with activity.

"The Masked Mage," as one of the few mage battle shows in the Great Xia Dynasty, has gained considerable popularity.

Some ordinary residents and tourists.

Hearing that the event would be held at Fengming Mountain, many people came to join in the fun.

I walked through the crowd.

Ten minutes later.

Chu Ming and Jiang Shaoxu, wearing sunglasses, arrived at the contestant-only passage.

Two burly bodyguards and members of the production crew stationed in front of the passage couldn't help but take a few more glances at Chu Ming's contestant card.

The young master of the Chu family made quite a splash a couple of days ago.

soon.

Chu Ming and Jiang Shaoxu ascended the mountain climbing path reserved for the competition's participants and entered the exclusive viewing area for them.

The match begins.

Official representatives and three professional mage judges expressed their expectations for the contestants.

After the host's opening remarks.

The Mage Competition is now truly getting underway!

Opposite to the players' spectator area.

A huge screen displays the players' names.

The group information for this year's registered contestants was quickly displayed on television, online, and the official website!

Chu Ming glanced at the message on his phone.

Jiang Shaoxu gripped her phone tightly, a rare hint of nervousness on her pretty face.

Ding--

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

Just for a moment.

Many contestants' phones rang as the program organizers informed them of the group assignments.

Jiang Shaoxu checked it immediately.

Then a relaxed smile appeared on his face.

"In my group, only two people pose a real threat to me, so advancing is a sure thing. Xiaoming, what about you?"

"Um... about the same as you."

Chu Ming looked at the string of names in the text message and felt a little helpless!

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared to Jiang Shaoxu's luck, his group should be considered a death group.

Space Mage Ai Jiangtu, Fire Mage Dongfang Lie, Lightning Mage Gu Jian, Ice Mage Mu Tingying...

There are only 30 players in total, and all of them are damage-dealing mages!

Fortunately, Chu Ming had enough confidence in his own abilities.

If an ordinary mage were assigned to this group, they would probably burst into tears on the spot!

This year's Mage Competition.

The match type is a title defense game.

The venue was divided into three arenas.

If the defending champion defeats three people in a row, or if no one challenges them within half an hour, they are considered to have successfully defended their title and can advance to the next round!

The challenger has two chances to challenge.

Once you successfully challenge the champion, you will become the champion who defends the title.

Once defeated, the only option is to challenge for the title again!

Furthermore, after failing the first time, you cannot challenge the same person again. If you fail to challenge the same person after using up both of your chances, you will be eliminated.

The entire competition was broadcast live and recorded.

Since the contestants are all from prominent families, both the official organizers and the production team have paid close attention to them!

"Xiaoming, I'm off now. Good luck!"

Jiang Shaoxu was assigned to Group 3. After saying hello, she left the spectator area to prepare.

"The Masked Mage Tournament, Round 1 of Arena 1 is about to begin! Contestants, please enter the arena!"

On the high platform.

One of the hosts shouted loudly.

Having completed his preparations, Chu Ming covered his face with the "White Wolf" mask and walked out of the spectator area.

The other contestants at the entrances also put on their masks and came to the field.

With the arrival of the contestants.

This ignited the already heated atmosphere at the scene.

A small, temporary audience area.

Hundreds of spectators, along with family and friends from prominent families, waved flags and cheered!

Amidst a lively atmosphere.

Among the contestants, some were sweating nervously with their eyes darting around, while others waved their hands excitedly.

"The battle to defend the title! Round one: three champions will be drawn!"

The host held the microphone, and his voice clearly reached everyone's ears!

The contestants all looked up at the large screen above.

Unlike regular challenge matches, arena battles require more strategic thinking.

Unless their strength truly far surpasses that of the other players.

Otherwise, the timing of the match and the opponent should be carefully considered.

All of these can affect the final result!

"Ring #1, Black Tiger!"

"Ring #2, Gray Rat!"

"Arena #3, White Wolf..."
