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

Chapter 97 National Tournament

Return to the academy.

Chu Ming spent half a month leisurely.

During this time, with the National Games approaching, countless students in the academy were discussing the matter.

But Chu Ming already had a pre-selected spot, so he didn't need to worry about the future National Championship spot.

The only thing that surprised him was...

A few days ago, Mo Fan, who was previously in the same summoning class as him, also transferred to the Fire Academy.

After that, Mo Fan, as a dark horse, challenged a group of students from the Fire Academy, and even defeated Dongfang Lie in the end, making a strong run to third place in the Fire Academy.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan is working so hard to improve his ranking within the academy.

This also involves another rumor—that Mo Fan also got a spot on the National Team.

It is rumored that he received a recommendation from Zu Jiazhan Kong and was nominated by Dean Song He.

Furthermore, Mo Fan had been striving to climb the rankings during this period, clearly to prove his potential and strength, which ultimately earned him Dean Xiao's recommendation and recognition.

"Tsk tsk, this extra spot means there will be one less spot among the originally selected candidates."

"I wonder who will be the one to have their spot taken away?"

"Cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. If your skill level isn't up to par, it's better to be eliminated."

Chu Ming was full of confidence in his abilities, coupled with his achievements in Hangzhou.

Anyway, no matter how you replace it.

It's impossible to replace him.

this day.

I received news that the demon-slaying tool has been forged.

Full of anticipation, Chu Ming arrived at the forging room at the foot of the Pearl Tower early in the morning.

Upon entering the hall and pushing open the door to the forging room, he hurriedly asked, "Master Huo, is my Muramasa sword finished forging?"

"Alright, come and take a look."

Huo Tuo's eyes gleamed with pride, and his excited voice came from inside the house.

He held a long, dark blue-black sword with strange patterns flowing through it as he approached Chu Ming.

"I did a second forging while preserving the original Muramasa sword's basic structure. It's all thanks to the extremely high quality of the materials you provided; otherwise, an ordinary knife would have broken long ago."

boom!

Huo Tuo's spiritual flames exploded on the blade.

The pale blue flames dripped down like flowing water.

"Besides being compatible with poison, your blade also has excellent compatibility with fire."

Chu Ming looked at Muramasa sword with a smile on his face.

"How is it? Satisfied?" Huo Tuo stroked his beard and smiled.

"Hmm, very good!"

Chu Ming gripped the hilt of the knife, carefully examined it, and nodded approvingly.

have to say.

He truly deserves to be called a top-notch forging master.

This result has already exceeded my expectations.

"How about we choose a new name?" Huo Tuo suggested, his eyes bright.

"Hmm... how about Murasame?"

Chu Ming watched the flames drift and fall like a raging storm, and suddenly said.

……

I got the Murasame sword.

While the planes are still able to operate.

Chu Ming immediately prepared to head to the ancient capital.

On the last night, he reluctantly spent some more time with Ding Yumin.

The next day.

He dressed neatly and walked out of the apartment.

We arrived at the principal's office.

As soon as I entered, I heard Dean Xiao and Department Head Zhou Zhenghua seemingly discussing something.

"Dean."

Upon seeing Chu Ming arrive, Dean Xiao's furrowed brows immediately broke into a smile.

"Here you are."

"It seems you've been doing well lately. How are things going with Yu Mian?"

Chu Ming gave a knowing smile: "It's fine."

After a few brief pleasantries...

Dean Xiao got straight to the point, and said with a faint smile.

"You've probably heard a lot of discussions about the World University Competition within the academy lately, haven't you?"

Chu Ming nodded.

Dean Xiao didn't elaborate further, but smiled and said, "This time, I hope you can be the finale winner and take the championship!"

Should I be the finale?

"Dean, is the World University Competition really that difficult that they're placing all their hopes on me alone?"

"Furthermore, given my skill level, will I exceed the limits of the competition?"

Chu Ming was stunned, wondering if he was hallucinating.

One's own strength.

Dean Xiao should be considered someone who knows him quite well.

If I were to participate in a competition, my actual skill level would definitely exceed the standards of the event!

"So, take some time to reflect and prepare. Don't rush to break through to the next level before the university competition."

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

Dean Xiao nodded and said with a smile.

From the last exchange between the universities in Shanghai and Beijing, including their performance in the wilderness training, Shanghai's team won almost all of their matches, and he was already amazed by Chu Ming's leadership skills.

If Chu Ming is the finale.

Could they break through national borders and deliver a crushing defeat to the teams from other countries?

"In short, whether you can reach the top in the World University Exchange Competition depends entirely on your abilities." Dean Xiao's eyes were full of anticipation.

Chu Ming raised an eyebrow, feeling rather speechless.

No.

This hasn't even started yet, and you're already ready to pop the champagne?

Who gave you this confidence and courage?

Before Chu Ming could even complain...

Dean Xiao took a deep breath, as if he could hear Chu Ming's thoughts, and laughed, "Of course, it's because of you, kid, that I dare to make this judgment."

Chu Ming was immediately left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Okay then...

Dean Xiao spoke slowly again, this time with a frown, saying, "However, since this is an overseas event, the judges and competition standards are different."

"An outstanding student like Yu Mian has a special physical condition, so I let her stay in China. You should understand why."

"When you face off, you don't need to completely overwhelm them; just winning is enough!"

Chu Ming narrowed his eyes.

He also understood why he was so worried.

to be honest.

Dean Xiao wanted to demonstrate the prestige of Huaxia University.

But I'm also worried.

If a student displays too much strength and crushes their opponent, they may be labeled by some as a potential victim of the technique.

Chu Ming had heard of someone who was identified as a victim of disaster during the World University Competition and was eventually sealed away.

"I understand that Yu Mian can't go. I'll be careful during the battle!"

Chu Ming nodded.

Given his abilities, it's unlikely he can continue to keep a low profile.

Before leaving, Chu Ming thought of something and spoke up.

"I may have to go to the ancient capital in a while."

Before participating in the university competition, he had to make a trip to the ancient capital.

Although the soul of the monarch-level Flame Witch is sustained by Yu Mian's mental power.

But if it drags on for too long...

Consciousness and power will gradually dissipate, leaving one incomplete and fragmented.

The second reason.

Recently, rumors have surfaced of a disturbance caused by the spirits of the dead in the ancient capital.

Too many people died tragically in a short period of time.

Some even predict that this is the most terrifying cholera outbreak in thousands of years, causing countless people to flee the ancient capital.

The Scourge is indeed very dangerous.

But danger and opportunity coexist.

The overwhelming invasion of the undead was seen as a terrible disaster by others.

But in Chu Ming's eyes, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to earn points.

He certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
