Full-Time Magister: Crimson Lion, the Strongest Divine Soul!

Chapter 123 Mu Yingting is eliminated, the official start begins.

"For Venice's sake?" Li Xuan said coldly, his voice carrying an undeniable authority. "Why should I believe your mediation? Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni have repeatedly provoked Ning Xue. If we let them off easily today, they will definitely become even more aggressive in the future."

His gaze was like a knife as he swept it over Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni again. The two of them trembled at his eyes and involuntarily took a few steps back.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on the guardian mage's forehead. He knew that if Li Xuan insisted on taking action, even though the guardian mages of Venice outnumbered him, they might not necessarily come out on top.

"Lord Li Xuan, we are willing to guarantee with the reputation of Venice that we will definitely give you and Miss Mu a satisfactory explanation," the guardian mage said through gritted teeth.

In his view, the best course of action at present is to first stabilize Li Xuan and then make a long-term plan.

Seeing this, Li Xuan sneered: "You can go and explain to my teacher. I have no interest in it."

After saying that, he turned to look at Mu Ningxue, the coldness in his eyes instantly disappearing, replaced by endless tenderness: "Ningxue, let's go."

Mu Ningxue nodded gently and boarded the Wings of Night again with Li Xuan.

The Wings of Night spread their enormous wings, stirring up a gust of wind that whipped up sand, stones, and fallen leaves from the ground.

The guardian mage and Mu Tingying watched Li Xuan and Mu Ningxue's departing figures, each lost in their own thoughts.

"Master, are we just going to let them go like this?" a Venetian guardian mage asked in a low voice.

The leading guardian mage glared at him: "What can we do if we don't leave? You've seen Li Xuan's strength. If we forcibly stop him, we'll suffer heavy losses. Besides, we shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of the Mu family."

……

The following morning, sunlight shone on the magnificent National Palace, making the entire building shine.

At this moment, all the mentors were already seated neatly in the conference room inside the venue.

Everyone's face carried a hint of seriousness and worry.

Just last night, a piece of news spread like a thunderbolt throughout the entire team—internal strife had broken out within the team.

This sudden turn of events truly surprised everyone.

However, after everyone learned the details of the matter, they had nothing to say.

"This has blown up too much. It has not only caused chaos in Venice, but now that the news has reached back home, everyone is paying attention." A mentor broke the silence first, frowning.

"Yes, the internal conflict within the Mu family has escalated into such a fierce conflict in a foreign land, and it even involves our team members. The impact is extremely negative," another mentor chimed in.

At this moment, Instructor Feng Li, who was sitting at the head of the table, sighed slightly and said, "I already communicated with the guardian mages of Venice through magical communication last night. They were also helpless. Li Xuan's strength is undeniable, and they dare not easily stop him. Moreover, judging from the cause of the matter, Mu Tingying and Nan Rongni and the others did indeed go too far."

"But no matter what, we as mentors are partly to blame for this internal conflict within the team," one of the mentors in charge of team discipline said remorsefully.

"The most urgent task is to reassure Mu Ningxue and Li Xuan, as they are both core members of the team," a female mentor offered her opinion.

"That's right, the Mu family will be dealt with severely."

"Li Xuan is the core of our team."

The Grand Prix des Nations has begun, and people from all walks of life are flocking to Venice.

In just a few days, the number of tourists in the city has increased nearly threefold, with crowds surging on boatways, bridges, squares, and bus ferries.

The venue was packed with people, tickets for the live magic battlefield were extremely difficult to obtain, and scalpers were rampant.

Due to technological limitations, videos of magical duels are extremely rare, and only two major competitions in the world allow the public to witness real duels between national leaders.

The first is the King of Hunters Tournament, and the second is the National Government Tournament.

Due to their scarcity and the common people's yearning for the extraordinary, these two competitions naturally gained a high level of attention without any deliberate promotion.

The former is better because the struggle is at a higher level and is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

The latter competition among the younger generation of top athletes is both entertaining and professional, and closely linked to the honors of their respective countries.

Each edition attracts at least hundreds of millions of viewers for its broadcast.

Its importance is self-evident and can be described as attracting worldwide attention.

For such a significant event, Shao Zheng led the team, accompanied by Han Ji from the Ancient Capital Magic Association, Secretary-General Zu Huixian, and Pang Lai, the chief mage of the Forbidden City.

In the capital of Venice, thirty-two national flags flutter in the wind.

These are all countries selected for Venice, having distinguished themselves through rigorous training and challenges from the national government.

Those nations that can enter the Venice water city for the final battle should all be considered powerful magical nations.

Those who attended recently were all world-renowned and extremely powerful mages.

"Here I would like to first express my gratitude to the Temple of Liberty in the Americas, the Tower of the Wizard of Dubai in Asia, the St. Paul's Church in Europe, the Magic Castle at the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, and the Altar of St. Caesar in Australia. I sincerely welcome you to Venice!"

Thank you again to the Hunter Alliance, the International Clan Alliance, the Coastline Alliance, the Parthenon, the Holy Judgment Court, the Forbidden City, the Tokyo Shrine of the Mage, the Tehran Magic Ridge, St. Peter's Basilica... and I sincerely thank you all for coming from afar.

"Of course, there are also the protagonists of our grand magic competition, the most outstanding young mages from thirty-two countries, selected from various magic academies..." The Venetian Doge Fabio delivered his opening remarks in a high-pitched voice.

The venue for this opening ceremony was not large, but those sitting inside were all world-renowned monks. The power and influence they represented made it the most coveted holy place for all monks.

The leading representative from China was Pang Lai, the chief mage of the Imperial Court, whom the governor had just mentioned—the Imperial Court. The Imperial Court mages of China represent the strongest group of mages in China; they are superior to the Judges, the Pearl Mage Corps, and the Imperial Guard Mage Corps…

Other organizations named after famous places in a country also represent national-level mages' associations that enjoy a prestigious reputation worldwide. Among them, the Parthenon and the Inquisition are the most prestigious in the world.

Despite originating from nations, the Parthenon, the Inquisition, and the Hunter's League, these three giants, wield global influence comparable to the magic associations of the five continents.

Therefore, if we're talking about the highest level of world magic organizations, there should be eight.

To become one of the top thirty-two, a master of magic worldwide.

Soon, the draw arrived, and the 32 strong teams slowly entered the arena. The live broadcast attracted worldwide attention.

As the team leader, going on stage to draw lots is a rare opportunity to shine. Many stars of the National Government have become famous through this, and have been the subject of much discussion among the public for several years.
