“Three on four? Have these Asians spent too much time in their small barbarian Yelang Kingdom for too long? Did they seriously think they can challenge us just because they had a fairly impressive performance in the first round and the treasure hunt? Don’t forget that their country has been in danger lately just because of how far behind the magic of their country is!” the woman with moles snort, with an arrogant and mocking grin.

She soon locked her gaze on Mu Tingying, who was also a female representative and said, “I’ll take that Ice Maga out in ten minutes.”

“Be careful of her captain,” Johnson warned her.

Johnson had faint, blue eyes. He was dressed in simple clothing, with a calm and steady demeanor, like a sturdy mountain with distinct edges.

His eyes were fixed on Ai Jiangtu as he walked forward at a steady pace. In the previous matches, Johnson had seen the firm demeanor of a soldier in the Space Mage.

The students of a military academy were clearly different than the students from ordinary schools. Students with a military background were neither undisciplined nor had the pride of a young adult, as if their bones would always emit a stern aura, regardless of what they were facing!

In their eyes, the place was not just a stage, it was no different than a battlefield!

Johnson had long noticed Ai Jiangtu, and similarly, the man had long caught Ai Jiangtu’s attention. After all, the captain of the German team was not the destructive Mage Reed, but the tall and sturdy man that was firm as a mountain, Johnson!

Johnson was in an offensive stance. He gradually approached the Chinese team, using a few Basic and Intermediate Spells as a signal, implying that he was challenging Ai Jiangtu to a duel.

Ai Jiangtu did not leave the team. He stood within the range of Zhao Manyan’s defensive spells, and while keeping his eyes on Johnson, he was also keeping an eye out for another member of the enemy team.

“It doesn’t seem like he’s interested in dueling me. If that’s the case… attack at will!” Johnson waved his hand and gave the order.

Johnson’s words served as an absolute order to the team. As his voice was still echoing across the stage, various magical glows appeared as space trembled when the energy of the spells gathered.

A sand dune suddenly emerged from the ground, followed by a deafening roar.

The yellow sand poured down from the beast’s back like a waterfall. The creature lifted its head and uttered another roar, turning the sand into a fierce storm.

The crowd eventually realized that the creature was a Granite Inferior Dragon. Its sturdy skin was made of granite, and it looked like a giant statue had come alive. However, its limbs, head, and eyes had a ferocious look that indicated how dangerous the creature was!

The Ice Mage from Munich had a cold grin. He slid along an Ice Chain and landed elegantly on the shoulder of the Granite Inferior Dragon!

The Granite Inferior Dragon moved forward. It saw the craggy wall that Zhao Manyan had summoned, and rammed into it like a giant machine…

Zhao Manyan’s shield was immediately smashed to the ground.

The Granite Inferior Dragon roared at Zhao Manyan. Its dragon breath, with a strong Petrifying power, swept forward rapidly.

The dragon breath almost turned Zhao Manyan, Ai Jiangtu, and Mu Tingying into statues. Zhao Manyan forcibly cast a Water Curtain to nullify the attack. He felt better after using the Totem Mark to lift the pressure.

——

“It’s an Inferior Dragon, an Earth-type creature. Luckily, the stage doesn’t consist of mountains. Otherwise, the Inferior Dragon would pose a great threat to the team!”

“An Inferior Dragon is stronger than a Pseudo-dragon, since they actually possess the lineage of the dragon tribe. Their power is comparable to real dragons, too!” a Hunter among the spectators exclaimed.

“An adult Inferior Dragon is nearly as strong as a Ruler-level creature. Some Inferior Dragons are Ruler-level creatures too… luckily, this Inferior Dragon hasn’t matured yet. Otherwise, even with triple the numbers of the Chinese team, they wouldn’t stand a chance subduing an Inferior Dragon!” a Senior Hunter exclaimed.

Many Mages were seated beside the man. When it came to the mystical world of magic, most people needed an experienced senior to comment and explain what was happening, since many Hunter Masters had never seen an Inferior Dragon before!

The Inferior Dragon was incredibly strong. Zhao Manyan was on edge due to the threat that the creature was posing at close distance. Most terrifyingly, the Mage from Munich had Ice as his primary Element. His powerful Ice Magic was also spreading across the stage, competing with Mu Tingying’s Ice.

Mu Tingying was busy fighting against the woman with moles when she realized her Ice Magic was being suppressed by someone else. She seemed fairly agitated as she scolded Zhao Manyan, “Are you seriously more useless than his beast?”

Zhao Manyan was infuriated after hearing her words. He simply had the urge to slap the woman in the face. It was obvious that her Ice Magic was on par with the tanned Ice Mage, while her two other Elements were inferior to the other woman’s spells. To his surprise, she immediately placed the blame on him instead! It was true that Zhao Manyan was focusing on stopping the Granite Inferior Dragon from getting any closer, yet he was also enduring the spells of different Elements that were targeting the team!

“Damn it, forcing me to use all three Elements! Plummeting Rays!” Zhao Manyan did not preserve his strength further, knowing that the team was under great pressure.

Zhao Manyan had used his strongest Light Element. He attached the Light Spell in the form of glowing scales to every member of the team. The scales formed a golden armor, serving as a defensive measure for the team.

“As long as the armor is still active, you can basically ignore every spell under the Advanced Level. If you’re being attacked by an Advanced Spell, you can easily resist it with a simple defensive spell!” Zhao Manyan yelled at the others on the team.

Zhao Manyan proceeded to summon the wooden clapper and applied its Totem Mark on each of the glowing armors, to reinforce them further!

“That’s more like it!” Jiang Shaoxu said, feeling a lot safer under the protection of the armor.

Zhao Manyan’s control had improved significantly. He used to only be able to form a single golden armor with Plummeting Rays, but he was now able to cast it on the entire team. Clearly, the man had not been goofing off lately.

Zhao Manyan’s defensive spell was quite handy. It was not heavy like the Earth Element, nor was it immovable, like some magic barriers or shields. The glowing scales of the Plummeting Rays were attached directly to the mages, allowing them to move freely. Even when Ai Jiangtu was moving around with Blink, the scales would follow after him like feathers. As long as Ai Jiangtu did not cast Blink consecutively, the armor would still serve its purpose!

The Light Spell allowed the team to slowly catch their breath amid the fierce attacks from the German team.

“There goes the Turtle Shell Mage! Old Zhao, well done!” Mo Fan burst out laughing.

“They finally got the situation under control,” Advisor Feng Li let out a relieved sigh. Anyone could tell that he was very nervous, too.

It was very risky to not send out their strongest members at the start of the match. If the whole team was crushed by the opposing team, leaving the members injured, even sending the strongest members out had no chance of turning the tables.

As long as they could keep the fight under control and slowly wear out the enemy with their defense, they would eventually secure an advantageous position. Once they sent Mo Fan out to blast the German team, it would be their chance to win the match!

“Speaking of which, the German team is stronger than expected. Apart from the destructive Mage Reed, their captain Johnson can take on Ai Jiangtu face-on, the tanned Mage Summoned the Inferior Dragon with his secondary Summoning Element, and the woman with moles are all pretty strong too. Luckily, Zhao Manyan was able to defend the team with all his Elements. Otherwise, the team would surely be in a pinch by now!” Song He observed.

“What a surprise! The Zhao Clan that is known for their talent at making money has given birth to such a talented Mage!” Chairman Shao Zheng said to Zhao Youqian, who was sitting behind him.

Zhao Youqian chuckled. It was his first time watching his little brother taking part in a magic battle, as he was busy earning money most of the time. To his surprise, his little brother, who only knew how to spend money, pick up chicks, and enjoy luxurious food, was actually so impressive that even the Chairman had given his compliments!

Zhao Youqian was utterly clueless about magic, yet even he could tell that the Chinese team was no longer under great pressure after Zhao Manyan cast his Light Spell.

“Strange, even though Zhao Manyan has a Soul-grade Light Seed, it seems like his Light Spell is a lot stronger than normal Light Spells. What kind of rare equipment did the Zhao Clan spend a fortune on for him?” Mu Gong asked.

The Mu Clan and Zhao Clan had been rivals for many years. The Mu Clan was jealous that the Zhao Clan had as much money as they had rice, while Zhao Clan was annoyed that the Mu Clan was able to raise powerful Mages like they were breeding dogs…

“That’s a misunderstanding,” Zhao Youqian shook his head.

The others might be unaware, but old Super Mages like them could easily tell that Zhao Manyan was holding some powerful artifact that could further strengthen his defensive spells by stacking its power on top of the Soul-grade Seed.

Something like that was clearly not just a piece of ordinary equipment. If it was useful for strengthening higher-level spells and higher-grade seeds, even Super Mages would be drooling over it!

“Stop being so modest. Is there anything that you guys can’t buy in the world? Besides, how many years has it been since your clan has had someone that could learn magic? Not to mention that he’s your blood-related brother, I can easily imagine how willing that old fox is to spend a few billion on him, right?” Mu Gong pressed.

Zhao Youqian remained silent with a smile.

“The German team is changing its approach. They are planning to take out the two girls that are suppressing their ace,” Han Ji noticed.

“That doesn’t sound good!”
