Versatile Mage: Start by obtaining the White Tiger Pendant

A loud roar resounded in the large arena that was several kilometers in radius, causing everyone to become deafened. They couldn't help but squint their eyes as they saw an endless blue-black light.

The blue scorching sun in the void was extinguished, and the hot air waves were covered by the cold.

Fortunately, Fran used all his strength to cast magic, causing the sky to dive down and shatter in half.

The remaining countless black water flows continued to wash over him, propping up the blue magic armor. He barely managed to get it down, his muscles and bones ached, his body was exhausted, and a little bit of the magic power in his spiritual world was inadvertently sucked away.

Rumble!

Lu Jun controlled the constellations with his spiritual thoughts, and his energy soared into the sky. Behind him, a large expanse of pure black water rose up, rushing towards the world and cleansing it, and then fell straight into the Spanish team's formation.

"Come again?! Don't you even need to take a breath? Can you mentally handle it?!"

Fran's eyes were bloodshot, but he could only follow, like a gambler who had put everything on the line. His whole body was filled with blue flames, and he turned into a solar meteorite and crashed head-on into the blue light.

The next moment, all the soul fire in his body was extinguished, and his armor and magic tools exploded inch by inch. He was about to melt into the heavy water of the North Sea. At the critical moment, the referee took action, rushed into the water curtain, and rescued him.

"Team Spain, Fran is eliminated!"

On the other side, the four members of the Spanish team, one of whom was a healing woman named Perris, cursed, "Damn you, Pinol! Is your magic not ready yet?"

Under the persistent spiritual attack of Ai Jiangtu and Jiang Shaoxu, the mermaid tears magical equipment on the four of them dimmed and gradually lost their effect.

If that move cannot be completed, then once the curse falls, the Spanish team will make the same mistake again.

"I'm coming!"

A thin wizard in the team, also a member named Pinol, growled, "Cataclysm Water Roar!"

He opened his arms, as if embracing the sea, and a large expanse of azure water-type magic energy rushed out like a substance, and all of them rushed out, scattered into countless strands and penetrated into the lake below him.

Rumble!

An inexplicable vibration sounded throughout the Dragon Teeth Arena, the lake water became restless, and a strong and terrifying earthquake broke out under the lake surface.

The tall dragon-tooth stone pillars shook violently, and the lake water began to roll amazingly, with surging waves rolling up to the sky! !

Endless water rushed to the sky, and huge waves seemed to be crashing down from the sky. The view was white and all you could see was the turbulent sea water.

Lu Jun was standing on top of a dragon tooth stone pillar. Seeing this, he raised his eyebrows and recalled something.

In the original novel, the Spanish team seemed to have an extremely amazing water magician who was naturally gifted and could drain all the water magic energy in one breath and convert it into magic output. He eliminated two members of the national government in one blow, severely injured two of them, and almost defeated the Chinese team.

Now, after a long period of preparation, Pinol has launched the Pseudo-Catastrophe Water Roar!

Of course, Lu Jun knew very well that the power of super-class water magic was more than that. The opponent's magic was at most half a super-class magic. In addition, it had two flaws: it consumed a lot of magic energy and took a long time to build up.

It can be said that Pinol has lost his fighting ability after using this move.

The three remaining members of the Spanish team breathed a sigh of relief, and then kept a close eye on several members of the Huaxia National Government Team. This was the tactic they came up with, to delay the enemy at all costs and release their trump cards, only in this way would they have a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, let me test the depth."

Lu Jun's face was calm, and he threw another punch calmly.

There was a sudden torrential rain, and as soon as the huge waves solidified, the Huaxia National Team's half of the field was calm, and the two sides formed a strong contrast. Some kind of trembling power was brewing, just like the calm before the storm.

The sky of water flowers superimposed by tides, after the preparation of the first three, although the fourth one has not yet reached the power of [Cataclysm Tsunami], it has already touched the super-level realm and is not inferior to the opponent's natural talent.

Chapter 394: Unstoppable, Champion

Boom!

Lu Jun suddenly clenched his fist, and the area suddenly changed from extremely quiet to extremely dynamic. The calm lake bulged into a huge arc, the stadium roared and shook, and endless black light rose up, sweeping across the sky with abundant impact force.

A large and deep water curtain was like a mighty flood rushing across the vast plains, the flowing water washing across the jade universe. The scene was magnificent and turbulent, and it violently collided with the huge blue waves on the other side.

Boom! Two large sky-covering light curtains each occupied half of the sky, the azure blue and the pitch black intertwined, and when they collided with each other, time froze for a moment, and the two "water-colored high walls" shattered inch by inch, water splashed all over the sky, and heavy rain fell.

A white curtain of water fell in front of the audience's eyes, making it impossible to see the situation on the field clearly, and their ears were buzzing from the vibration of the huge waves.

The protective barrier of the arena had already been torn apart by the confrontation between the two semi-super-level magics, and millions of drops of corrosive water splashed towards the audience.

Fortunately, ten high-level water mages from the competition team stepped forward in time, formed a circle with serious faces and surrounded the entire arena. Their auras were connected, and they used their control over water to transform all the soul water power into ordinary rainwater.

As a result, tens of thousands of spectators were soaked and found themselves in the storm, but they did not care. Instead, they were extremely shocked. After so many elimination matches, they finally saw an incomparable and wonderful magic.

The two hostile members of the national government, like sea gods, stirred up a catastrophic tsunami.

The four Spanish men were all wet and in a mess. Seeing that Pinos' natural talent had failed and seeing the majestic appearance of Lu Jun standing on the Dragon Tooth Rock Pillar opposite them, they could not help but feel despair.

This is already their strongest trump card. With this killer move, they have a good chance of reaching the quarterfinals.

Unfortunately, Lu Jun could use similar moves more than a dozen times, each one stronger than the last, while Pinos only had one move and his magic energy was exhausted.

Mu Ningxue, Ai Jiangtu, and Jiang Shaoxu were also shocked and could not recover for a long time. After they reacted, they attacked one after another, with frost like waterfalls, ghosts dancing wildly, and soul-controlling and mind-controlling releases, eliminating the four Spanish players whose magic energy was exhausted.

Finally, the referee came on the field and announced that the Chinese team won.

The Spanish team and other members looked bitter as they failed to qualify for the number one seed and could only fight a decisive battle with the Japanese team for the number two seed.

Next, Lu Jun led the Chinese team to play the second round. The three countries' teams avoided them and surrendered in order to preserve their strength. A wave of six consecutive victories established the number one seed and advanced to the top 16, breaking the best record of previous national governments.

When the knockout stage ended, countless Chinese media reported on it and netizens were overjoyed and proud.

One commentator said confidently: "Six wins is the limit of the competition system, not the limit of the Chinese team. I think anyone who has watched the game will be impressed by the championship spirit radiating from Lu Jun's team from the inside out."

"The strongest man is already in the lineup, the Chinese team must seize the moment."

"We have tied the best record in history, and every step we take is creating history."

Mr. Lu occasionally read the news and found the above discussions, which made him feel relieved. In addition to fame and benefits, isn't there any other benefit of joining the national team to win glory for the country?

However, he did not take such boasting too seriously. It was normal to brag if you win a magic battle and to curse if you lose. Whoever took it seriously would be in trouble.

In addition, Mo Fan had resolved the Croatia issue and returned with Xinxia. He looked solemn, obviously knowing the inside story of the Little Red Devil. He really didn't want to get involved with these evil things. The only good thing was that the Evil Condensing Pearl was full of energy and could transform into a demon once.

Xinxia also received considerable credit, and her candidate position had some prestige for the time being.

……

The Chinese team's qualification spot has been confirmed, and they are able to sit on the Observation Wall and practice hard to prepare for the second stage of the [Treasure Hunt].

The water magic that Lu Jun displayed slightly had a far-reaching impact. For example, traditional powers such as the United States, Greece, and the United Kingdom were constantly calculating with heavy expressions, and no one was sure of victory.

Therefore, the mentors of each national government instructed their members that if they met Lu Jun during the treasure hunt, one person should surrender, two people should quickly escape, and three people should consider defense. Only five or more people can compete.

Time passed, more than ten days had passed, the fierce competition in the eight groups was coming to an end, and the places for the top sixteen were selected one after another.

During this period, Mo Fan followed the chief court wizard Pang Lai to the black market to shop. It seemed that he had picked up a treasure by chance. He bought a complete commander's spirit for 300 million yuan. It looked inconspicuous on the surface, but it was actually the fighting spirit of the Antarctic Glacier Kai tribe.

Mo Fan luckily promoted the old wolf to the commander level, named [Feichuan Snow Wolf]. With the dual commander of the summoning system, his strength increased greatly, and he couldn't help but show off.

But then he thought again, this was an achievement that Lu Jun had achieved a year ago, and he became bored again.

Especially when Mo Fan heard from Pang Lai that Lu Jun was actually looking to buy the Xinghai Tianmai, he was shocked. Damn, he probably had to stay at the high level for another two or three years while Lu Jun was about to ascend to the super level.

However, the treasures of Xinghai Tianmai are precious and not easy to obtain. It takes some time to collect them.

Just when the strength of the entire Guofu team was steadily increasing, the treasure hunt that everyone was looking forward to was here!

[Treasure Hunt] As the name suggests, it is about competing for treasures. The total value of the natural treasures collected by each national government team will be ranked. The top eight will qualify and enter the next stage of the quarterfinals.

The best part is that these team members can keep the treasures they obtain and practice with them.

Therefore, every time this stage comes, it is a good opportunity for each country to overtake others and make a breakthrough. Many dark horses in the Venice competitions were born in the treasure hunt.

Sixteen teams were teleported to the same independent space to dig up countless treasures that had been buried long ago by the organizers, regardless of the process or means, only the results mattered.

Lu Jun secretly complained: "Isn't it just a live-action version of PUBG?"

He didn't have high expectations for the treasure hunt. Most of the rare treasures there were of high quality and of little use to him. He could only sell them for money.

As for other people, it’s different. Some members of the government of countries with no ambitions may be counting on this opportunity to get promoted, while those with ambitions will cherish the chance to surpass Lu Jun even more.

When the treasure hunt competition started, Zhao Manyan said to everyone with joy, "Good news, the final rewards for this year's national government rankings have been announced."

"The top three teams will receive the most rewards. The champion team will receive the [Divine Seal Tribute] from the Parthenon. The runner-up team will be able to go to the [Void Altar] of the Australian Saint Kai Altar Magic Association for training. The third place team will have a forging master create a complete set of magic tools for each person."

After these words were spoken, everyone's breathing quickened and their eyes turned red.

There is no need to say much about the reward for the first place. The Divine Seal and Praise is no less than giving the magic department an innate talent that changes the power acquired. Even if most people can only retain 1.3 or 1.4 of the basic power accumulation, it is still very powerful.

As for the second place [Void Altar], it is the best place for high-level mages in the world to achieve nirvana, and the probability of being promoted to the super level is extremely high.

The third place is good news for poor people like Mo Fan, as they have a complete set of magic tools, which can double their combat power.

Chapter 395: Treasure Hunt, Encirclement of Jiuzhou!

After hearing this, Lu Jun couldn't help but think about it and felt relieved.

Although he could predict the future and knew in advance that the champion was a tribute to the Parthenon's divine seal, before it was confirmed, who knew whether there would be a butterfly effect.

He is determined to obtain this top-level method!

That’s right, the runner-up’s Altar of the Void has a great appeal to Lu Jun. The probability of breaking through to the super level is about 50%, which is very suitable for a genius like him who has fully cultivated the high level.

But this is far inferior to the God's Seal Praise. This method is enough to transform an ordinary wizard's magic system to the level comparable to his six abnormal systems, which is earth-shaking.

Ask all the mages in the world whether they are willing to exchange the Divine Seal for the opportunity to practice in the Altar of the Void?

The answer is no. No one wants to change it because the Altar of the Void is similar to the Three-Step Tower of Mingzhu. Although the opportunity to practice is precious, it is not impossible for ordinary people to obtain it. Anyone who has made contributions to the Australian Magic Association has the opportunity to enter.

After all, the Altar of the Void is spacious, with many seats and quotas, so the value of the places is high.

Besides, there are many substitutes for the Void Altar, such as the Star Sea Sky Vein, the Ice Domain Fruit that Mu Bai took, the Thunder Mineral Veins in Peru, and other natural treasures that can help mages break through to the super level, further reducing its preciousness.

On the other hand, the God's Seal Ceremony must be performed by a goddess or a temple mother. It represents the highest mystery of blessing. It requires a high price to pay, and everyone has only one chance in their lifetime.

Goddesses of all generations rarely used this skill on their subordinates, let alone outsiders.

The God's Seal of Praise is a super talent that lasts throughout one's life. It is of great significance to be able to use forbidden spells.

Mo Fan's eyes lit up when he heard Zhao Manyan's explanation. Their chances of winning the championship were extremely high, so wouldn't it be just a matter of time before they received the Divine Seal's praise?

At this time, Zhao Manyan broke another piece of news, and said mysteriously: "Does the forbidden spell mage, Essendel, the Supreme Lord of the Darkness, know that he has been found guilty by the Holy City and is about to be arrested and executed."

Guan Yu exclaimed: "Is it that His Highness Essendel? I didn't expect it..."

Everyone was talking about it, but Lu Jun frowned slightly, knowing that it was the fountain commander Ishisa who was pushing the plan. Essendel and Ander, the popular candidate for the goddess, had a close relationship. Once the former was executed, the latter would not be far from being finished.

However, he thought it was none of his business and just kept it aloof.

"Silence!" Suddenly, on the wide stage of the Grand Arena, a majestic old wizard shouted, "The treasure hunt is about to begin. Here are the precautions..."

There were sixteen National Government teams present, each with ten people, for a total of one hundred and sixty people.

The organizers distributed silver space scrolls to all members as a means of saving their lives. Once activated, they would be teleported out within four seconds.

Because the locations of previous treasure hunts were far away from Venice, even in an independent dimension.

In the center of the arena, there stood a tall space magic circle, with ripples of silver light swirling around it, used to teleport everyone.

Lu Jun stood in the crowd, looking around, his sharp eyes fixed on a few people.

The Greek team is led by a masked woman with a plump figure and a mysterious, holy and charming temperament.

Asharuya seemed to notice Lu Jun's gaze and responded with a reserved smile.

"Are you joining the National Government Competition so early this time?"

He was slightly surprised. In the original timeline, Asharuya had to wait until the third stage quarterfinals, when Greece unexpectedly lost to the Egyptian team, before deciding to join the Guofu team to promote the position of the goddess.

As for how the other party could join in halfway, well... it’s the privilege of the saint.

Lu Jun pondered, became alert, and looked at several other major competitors.

The British team was led by a man and a woman, both of whom were handsome and beautiful, like a golden boy and a jade girl, and both had an ancient and noble temperament. They were Zhe Luo and Irene.

He has always used the former as a comparison benchmark, and of course he has surpassed him now. The latter is the Duke of the British Victorian royal family, the next person in charge, with unfathomable strength, outstanding talent, and many treasures.

Lastly is the American team. There isn’t much description in the original book, but one can observe that each of the men and women look strong and capable. Next on the list are powerful countries like France, Canada, and Italy.

"Something's wrong."

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun looked suspicious, and his heart seemed to be beating rhythmically.

Buzz!

The organizers announced that the treasure hunt was officially open. One hundred and sixty members stepped into the silver space vortex one after another. A terrifying wave was set off, teleporting everyone to an independent dimension and scattering them in every corner.
