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

What is Chapter 8 that gave you the illusion that you could win?

You have completed a battle, defeated your opponent, and earned 30 points.

I heard the system notification tone.

A smile appeared on Chu Ming's lips.

But soon.

He sensed something was wrong.

Because he discovered that his identity and strength had been exposed.

The white bull and green snake, who had been eager to challenge him, suddenly stopped moving, while the remaining people looked on with fear.

Chu Ming felt somewhat helpless.

But he soon came to a realization.

This was bound to happen sooner or later.

Knowing the nature of these guys, as long as I can achieve a winning streak...

Once they realize he's not someone to be trifled with, and it's unlikely he'll come up to challenge them again, they'll probably promote him and choose someone else to be the champion.

And this time.

Gray Rat, who had been leisurely watching the fight for five minutes, was surprised to find that Green Snake, the challenger, had stepped onto the arena.

The gray mouse was immediately displeased.

The green snake was clearly challenging the white wolf just now.

So, seeing how assertive that guy was, he turned around and challenged me instead?

What does this mean?

underestimate me?

Do you think I'm weaker than that Chu family from Jiangnan?

The gray rat coldly replied, "Don't you know who I am?"

"Sorry, but I have no choice but to challenge you because I know who you are."

The green snake smiled.

He knew the identity of the guy opposite him, of course.

Liao Mingxuan is the son of Liao Feng, the president of the Imperial Capital Magic Association.

But so what?

He's from Shanghai, but he doesn't mingle in the elite circles of Beijing.

Previously, everyone thought that the White Wolf was the weakest.

He naturally eagerly volunteered to challenge the White Wolf.

Now he understood that neither Black Tiger Ai Jiangtu nor White Wolf Chu Ming on the field were opponents he could even touch.

Tailor your approach to the person you're dealing with.

The only option is a gray mouse.

"Fine, you've got guts!"

Gray Rat made a bold statement and, without further ado, unleashed a wind-based spell the moment the referee announced the start.

Meanwhile, the green snake on the other side was also quick to act.

Plant-based magic was unleashed.

One after another, pale green vines broke through the soil, grew rapidly, and attacked the gray rats.

……

"Hey, stop looking."

"Ready to fight."

Chu Ming was watching the show unfold when he heard a voice behind him.

Turning my head, I saw a new challenger on the stage, a young man wearing a "Red Lion" mask.

"Oh, someone's here. Not bad."

Chu Ming smiled and spoke.

"You do have some skill, but I will definitely take this title!"

Dongfang Lie raised his chin, his eyes filled with an arrogant and confident expression, like a lion surveying its territory.

Chu Ming was born with dual systems.

However, Dongfang Lie also possesses special talents.

His star is a congenitally mutated star.

It increases the level of any fire magic spell cast by 1.

For example, everyone else is using level 3 fire, but he uses level 4.

This is an innate power boost.

If he reaches a higher level in the future, while others can cast high-level level one magic such as "Heavenly Flame Funeral - Flame Rain", he will be able to cast high-level level two magic.

Both took the same amount of time, but the higher level was one level higher than the other.

Such a powerful talent.

It gave him extraordinary confidence.

Chu Ming's poison and summoned beasts both lean towards dark magic.

However, his innate mutated fire-type power has a certain restraining effect on the dark attribute.

It can be said that it is least afraid of the dark element!

……

"start!"

The contestants on both sides stood still.

The referee immediately announced the start of the arena challenge.

Dongfang Lie also activated the power of the magical artifacts on his feet.

But unlike Gu Jian.

He chose to keep his distance.

Although he was very confident in his abilities.

But after watching the battle between Chu Ming and Gu Jian...

He understood that a cautious start was best, and he absolutely could not allow his opponent to seize an opportunity that could lead to a defeat.

"Dude, I thought you were going to do something big, and this is it?"

Chu Ming blinked and smiled.

The other party started spouting nonsense as soon as they came on stage, making me think they were a violent mage.

So they chose the most defensive playstyle?

Are you playing with snakes?

"Hmph, don't think I don't know your plan. You want to lure me close so you can take the opportunity to finish me off with the Poison-Extracting Demon-Slaying Tool, right?"

"I won't give you that chance."

"Once your summoned beasts are dealt with, your defeat is only a matter of time."

Sensing Chu Ming's questioning gaze, Dongfang Lie felt slightly embarrassed, but quickly straightened his expression and answered honestly and confidently.

Chu Ming shook his head helplessly.

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

Never mind, it doesn't matter.

He said casually, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, just play along with him."

It received the master's order.

Gengar smiled and emerged from the shadows, spewing out a cloud of "turbid mist" that swept towards Dongfang Liexi.

the other side.

Dongfang Lie's expression changed drastically. Before Gengar and Poison Mist arrived, he quickly completed the connection of Star and released the level three spell "Fire Burst".

Ultimately, this was enhanced by the mutated Martian particles.

The level 4 "Fire Burst - Double Burst" charged towards the purplish-black poisonous mist ahead.

boom!

The poisonous fog exploded, and a huge purple flame erupted on the field. The poisonous power was dispelled, the fog began to dissipate, and the turbid fog became much thinner.

Dongfang Lie pressed his advantage, unleashing a continuous barrage of magic.

Flame Burst - Double Burst flew out again, locking onto Gengar behind the purple-black poison mist.

Boom!

Then the flames burst forth again.

A smile appeared on Dongfang Lie's lips, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Ming was putting a lot of pressure on him.

but.

The troublesome summoned beast has been resolved.

The next battle will be much easier.

The novice poison mage has no offensive means, but as a fire mage, he has plenty of ways to deal with him.

"It's over. I've already won this battle!"

Dongfang Lie smiled, looked at Chu Ming opposite him, and confidently declared.

However, he found that Chu Ming was looking at him with a pitiful yet ridiculous, curious gaze.

"What makes you so confident, even to the point of having the illusion that you can win?"

The words fell.

Dongfang Lie suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He quickly activated the power of the magical artifacts on his feet, reconnecting with the fire elemental star.

But next second.

Love at first sight.

A huge red tongue had somehow crept up beside him.

"Firestorm - Double the Burst!"

Dongfang Lie's eyes widened, and he waved his hand, roaring.

But unfortunately.

Just as the fire-elemental planets completed their connection, a cursed power suddenly descended.

Gengar's ability, Cursed Body, is activated!

After being attacked by the other party.

The skill used by the opponent will be sealed.

Dongfang Lie's fire-type star was suppressed by the power of the curse and fell into silence, unable to sense any of its master's thoughts.

"How could this be??"

"I can't sense the sparks anymore... I can't cast my magic..."

"What exactly did that guy do?"

Dongfang Lie was shocked.

However, at this moment, he was thoroughly served from head to toe by Gengar's "licking", and was completely unable to move.

The venomous tongue sent chills down his spine.

Without a sound or a sound.

Some of Dongfang Lie's life force was absorbed by Gengar.

Then he fainted.

"You can carry it away now."

Chu Ming reminded the referee.

The referee stared intently at Gengar, his eyes filled with both shock and confusion.

The battle ended too suddenly.

He didn't even realize what was happening.

What exactly happened? How did it end so quickly?

Hearing Chu Ming's reminder.

He came to his senses and quickly called for people to come up on stage, carry Dongfang Lie away, and take him to the medical room.
