"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!"

"Why haven't I heard any information about this defensive Mage?" Johnson said coldly, glaring at his teammates .

The woman with moles said in an awkward voice, "I did check on him; he's the second son of the Zhao Clan . The information stated that the Zhao Clan spent a fortune just so he could join the national team . Besides, he didn't really show any outstanding performance in the previous matches . We didn't think he was actually preserving his strength . The Zhao Financial Group must have spent hundreds of billions on him . "

The defensive ability that Zhao Manyan had displayed would easily make him one of the best defensive Mages in the tournament . It was something that the German team had not expected at all .

They did not like to be taken by surprise . They had gotten used to having everything under their control, but because of the Turtle Shell Mage, they were forced to change their strategy!

The German team was fairly good at reacting according to the situation . As soon as they decided on a new strategy, the members immediately proceeded to carry it out .

The strongest attacker on their team was being suppressed by a Psychic Maga and a Sound Maga . Since the enemy team was trying to drag the match out with their defense, the only choice the German team had was to let their destructive Mage Reed attack instead!

"You guys have seriously let me down, the four of you can't even take three people on," Reed mocked them .

"Defensive spells are meant to be stronger than offensive spells . Besides, what could we do when they are holed up like that?" the woman with moles shot back, displeased .

"That just means your attacks aren't strong enough!" Reed snapped . His eyes flickered with a hint of madness!

"What are you even proud of? You're having trouble casting a useful spell too," the tanned Ice Mage said .

"Sound Element and Psychic Element, it's obvious that the Chinese team is well-prepared, they have sent out two Mages to deal with me," Reed huffed .

"Isn't that because you exposed too much of your strength before this?"

"That's enough, go take those two mages out to free Reed from their suppression . It's time to destroy them!" Johnson stopped the quarrel .

—

Using the Psychic Element against the enemy's Psychic Element, the handsome Mage that had not done anything much on the German team finally made his move . He first targeted Jiang Shaoxu's Spiritual World .

Jiang Shaoxu had to focus to suppress Reed's destructive Spells . As soon as she saw the man drawing a Star Constellation, she had to react immediately .

However, an enormous monster had suddenly intruded into her Spiritual World . If she did not focus on dealing with the monster, her Spiritual World would crumble within an instant!

"Mind Control: Hallucination!"

The Psychic Mage of the German team turned out to be an expert in putting his target in hallucination…

There were different specialties when it came to the Psychic Element . One of them was the Beastmasters that were quite common in the army . They mainly used their Psychic Element to tame the Heavenly Eagles . These Psychic Mages were usually trained by the military .

The second kind was battle-type Psychic Mages, who focused on suppressing the enemy by preventing them from casting powerful spells . Psychic Mages of this kind was fairly common, and were easily found in the Enforcement Union and the disciplinary teams of renowned clans, since they were particularly useful at taking down Mages!

The third kind was those that were good at using illusions or placing people in a hallucination . They were able to intrude into the minds of their target and dig up their precious memories . They could manipulate sorrow, joy, fear, and panic by affecting their target . It was quite similar to the Curse Element, as the hallucination was like a nightmare aiming to defeat their opponent by crushing their mind!

Jiang Shaoxu was currently facing a Psychic Mage of this kind . Her Spiritual World was in great disorder, as she slowly entered an illusionary world!

To place a person in hallucination, the Psychic Mage would have to numb the senses of the target and manipulate the person's memory, just so the person would have no clue that they were hallucinating .

Jiang Shaoxu felt like her head was about to explode after the intrusion .

after a tremendous pain, Jiang Shaoxu woke up in a room that she was extremely familiar with . She captured the pleasant scent of flowers coming from outside the window, and the smell of blanket being dried under the sun .

Her blurred vision gradually became clear . She glanced at the familiar, soothing decorations in the room and started to calm down .

Her head was still hurting a little . She rubbed her temple and said, "So I was dreaming… such a long dream, why would I dream that I'm in the middle of a match in Venice, knowing how lazy I am?"

Even though she could recall the training she went through, and the matches she participated in at Venice, the images started to fade away, like she had just woken up from a dream . The room and the sound of kids playing outside the window felt incredibly real to her .

Many people would have a blank mind after waking up from a long dream, as if they had just lived a different life in their dreams . They would slowly recall who they were after their brains rearranged the memory fragments, allowing them to recall what day it was, and what they had done over the past few days…

The images of the battles in Venice gradually faded away . Jiang Shaoxu stood beside her bed and glanced at the grassy land under the sunlight through the window . She saw a person with a gentle smile slowly approaching her .

"Lazybones, are you going to sleep until the sun is high up in the sky? How are you going to become a Mage that can help dad out at this rate?" the person said with a smile, even though he happened to be condemning Jiang Shaoxu .

He reached out his hand and patted Jiang Shaoxu's head . The woman responded with a displeased glare .

"I'm going somewhere far away tomorrow, pick up your slack when I'm away, understand?" the man said .

"Brother, where are you going this time?" Jiang Shaoxu asked .

"Where else would I go?"

"Don't tell me you're going to look for some ancient ruins again…"

"Our country has been around for over five thousand years . We used to have an advanced magic civilization that other countries could not compare to . If only we had managed to inherit it from our ancestors, we wouldn't be falling behind now . The result of our national team a few days ago was pretty disappointing . They were knocked out in the treasure hunt . A few decades ago, the countries that we were up against didn't even know what magic is . You should work harder, so that during the next World College Tournament… oh, you will only be nineteen by then, you should try and join the national team after the next World College Tournament and win some glory for our country . I'll be very proud of you," the man said patiently .

"I'm too lazy to go . Besides, there are so many people in our country, why does it have to be me? Cultivating is so tiring, and I don't really have the talent, either . Besides, who cares if you're proud of me or not, is it really worth it for me to train diligently like a monk just so I can make you proud?" Jiang Shaoxu said unwillingly, with the temper of a young girl .

"Fine, do whatever you want; you're the little princess anyway . Alright, it's time for me to go and prepare for the trip . The place we're going to this time is quite complicated . Hopefully, we can find the ancient entrance at Jiayuguan, our operation might actually be recorded in history!" Jiang Shaojun said .

"Do you really enjoy going on expeditions? Isn't it fine just staying in the cities?"

"What could a…"

"What could a little girl like you possibly know? Brother, can't you think of some other lines?" Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes .

Jiang Shaojun smiled awkwardly . He patted the girl on the head, before turning around and left .

Jiang Shaoxu stared at the man's back . For some reason, his figure started to fade away under the sunlight . When Jiang Shaoxu took a closer look, the man had already disappeared . There were still some kids playing in the garden, and the birds were still chirping . The flowers had blossomed too, but in Jiang Shaoxu's eyes, the garden felt empty, sorrowful, with a sense of loss .

——

On the dueling ground of Venice, the sand was sweeping the soulless body of a woman with curly hair in a light red blouse who was standing still like a statue . Her eyes were staring straight ahead, and her dark pupils suddenly shuddering before tears started to pour out . Lines of tears ran down her cheeks, and fell onto the dry sand!

"Jiang Shaoxu, Jiang Shaoxu, wake up, wake up now!" Nanyu shook the tearing Jiang Shaoxu vigorously . She seemed anxious and worried .

The enormous silhouette of the Granite Inferior Dragon was approaching with great pressure . The Granite Inferior Dragon was right before the two girls, and Nanyu was struggling to keep the situation under control on her own .

If Jiang Shaoxu did not wake up soon, she would surely be knocked out!

"Nanyu, leave now!" Ai Jiangtu said to Nanyu .

Jiang Shaoxu had no chance of waking up, as she was completely trapped in the hallucination . The match was extremely important for their country; it was necessary to abandon their teammate for the greater good!

They could only hope that their opponent would go easy on Jiang Shaoxu, and would not inflict serious damage on her!

Nanyu did not want to leave her teammate behind, but as she recalled Chairman Shao Zheng's words, she forced herself to turn around and flee . Now was not the time to be hesitant .

She had no idea what Jiang Shaoxu was seeing, nor did she know why Jiang Shaoxu was bursting into tears . However, she believed the cunning Psychic Mage of the German team must have forced Jiang Shaoxu to face her greatest pain . Nanyu had never seen the optimistic and casual Jiang Shaoxu wear such a sorrowful expression .

The Granite Inferior Dragon stomped the ground and crushed the final line of defense that Nanyu had left for Jiang Shaoxu into pieces .

The splinters of ice cut Jiang Shaoxu's face, yet she remained still in tears, as if she could not feel any pain .

The Granite Inferior Dragon reached out its hand and grabbed Jiang Shaoxu, lifting her slowly toward its head .

The Ice Mage from Munich standing on the shoulder of the Granite Inferior Dragon burst out laughing when he saw Jiang Shaoxu's expression . He yelled at his teammate, "Hey Parker, did you just show her a soap opera? Look at how much she was into it, HAHAHA!"

The Psychic Mage called Parker did not respond .

The tanned Mage laughed and focused his gaze on Jiang Shaoxu, who was being firmly held by the Granite Inferior Dragon .

Suddenly, he realized that the woman's eyes were not as hollow as he thought . To his surprise, the woman was actually glaring right at him with tearful eyes as soon as he uttered his comment!

The tanned Mage was startled .

"Look out, she has woken up!" the Psychic Mage Parker shouted .

"Someone on the Chinese team is going to be disqualified first!"

"Why do I feel like that woman is a burden to the Chinese team? As a Psychic Mage, she totally lost herself to the enemy's Psychic Mage without putting up a fight . I didn't have high hopes in her right from the start . "

"A team's Psychic Mage can easily decide the outcome of a match . The Chinese team might lose because of her!"

"Luckily, the other girl was very decisive . If the two of them were knocked out, the Chinese team won't have a chance to turn the tables . "

The spectators shook their heads when they saw Jiang Shaoxu being grabbed by the Granite Inferior Dragon like a little worm .

That being said, the supporters on the side of Germany and Europe cheered loudly . In a match like this, taking out a member would secure a great advantage for their team, and it was likely to be the deciding factor in winning the match!

On the side of the Chinese team, the advisors, students, and leaders all had grim faces .

If Feng Li was to say something, the team had collapsed a lot quicker than he thought . If the opposing team failed to find a breakthrough by targeting Jiang Shaoxu, their defensive formation could still hold on for more than ten rounds!

—

"Congratulations, you are the first person to be knocked out from this match . You will cry again when the people of your country, your teammates, and your advisors are criticizing you for losing the match . Gorgeous, I'll send you out like a gentleman . " The tanned Mage was amused by Jiang Shaoxu's glare .

His Granite Inferior Dragon had already caught the woman . What difference would it make if the woman had woken up or not?

Jiang Shaoxu's gaze sharpened . The tears had stopped pouring out from her eyes . Even though her face was still wet from her tears, and her vision was still blurred, she had a determined look in her eyes!

"You're the one that's going to be condemned and treated disdainfully!" Jiang Shaoxu's cold gaze suddenly burned passionately as she stared right at the opponent in front of her!

"That's hilarious . You can't possibly be thinking of controlling my Granite Inferior Dragon with your mental strength?" the tanned Mage snapped furiously .

"I won't need to control it, I just need to control you!" The strong light emitted by Jiang Shaoxu's eyes sprang right at the tanned Mage .

The tanned Mage was standing on the shoulder of the Granite Inferior Dragon . He did not think that a woman who was like an arrow at the end of its flight would suddenly unleash such strong magic .

"In your dreams!" the Mage reacted fairly quickly, commanding the Granite Inferior Dragon to tighten its grip .

The grip of the Granite Inferior Dragon was extremely strong . Jiang Shaoxu's bones started to crack as an overwhelming force was applied to her .

However, the glow in Jiang Shaoxu's eyes showed no sign of weakening, as if she was unable to feel any pain!

"Crush her!" the Mage yelled at the top of his lungs as he was about to lose his mind to Jiang Shaoxu's magic .

Jiang Shaoxu was unwilling to give up either, with a strong determination that she had never shown before!

The assistant judges were ready to make their moves . Jiang Shaoxu was currently in great danger, as she did not have any protection . If the Granite Inferior Dragon tightened its grip any further, it would crush every bone in Jiang Shaoxu's body .

"That girl, she's out of her mind!" The two assistant judges could not wait any further .

They had to intervene . Otherwise, the whole world would see a young, beautiful woman exploding, and blood splattering everywhere . The tanned Mage had clearly given his Summoned Beast the order to kill the woman amid the great torture he was in!

The assistant judges entered the stage . They would be able to save Jiang Shaoxu within a second, but it also meant that Jiang Shaoxu would be disqualified from the match .

However, the tanned Mage on the shoulder of the Granite Inferior Dragon suddenly cried out in pain and fell to the shoulder feebly .

The Granite Inferior Dragon was trying to kill Jiang Shaoxu just a moment ago, but it suddenly loosened its grip in an instant .

Jiang Shaoxu fell to the ground . The tears on her face were already dry from the blowing wind, but the determination in her eyes was scarily strong!

Jiang Shaoxu did not panic at all, as if everything was completely under her control . She reached out her hand, pointing at the Psychic Mage, Parker .

"Take him out!" Jiang Shaoxu uttered .

The Granite Inferior Dragon immediately turned around, unleashing all its power to attack Parker!

Parker's face paled . He did not expect his opponent would be able to control the tanned Mage, and even worse, she had managed to control the Granite Inferior Dragon, too!

"Splendid, that was absolutely impressive! She managed to control the Summoner, and used him to command the Summoned Beast . That was brilliant!" Feng Li yelled out in excitement .

—

The tables had turned suddenly . The Ice Mage of the German team had broken down mentally, making him unfit for battle . Furthermore, the powerful Granite Inferior Dragon had suddenly become the Chinese team's helper, posing a great threat to the Germans!

A great uproar took place in the stadium . The people could feel their hearts racing just watching the sequence . The counterattack from Jiang Shaoxu took everyone by surprise . The way she stood against the enormous Inferior Dragon and the tanned Mage unyieldingly had touched the hearts of the crowd . They immediately felt their blood boiling!

The weak woman that was initially crying in tears had transformed into a firm and unyielding fighter . The crowd could not find any words to describe the excitement they were feeling!

However, it was obvious that the transformation did not just happen instantly .

The weak girl that was tearing up was Jiang Shaoxu eight years ago .

But now, she was no longer lazy or unambitious . She was here just so the man that had passed away would be proud of her .

—

"I promised you that I would be standing on this stage, and here I am .

"But you promised me that you were going to come back safely, why didn't you keep your promise?…"

—

BANG! The Granite Inferior Dragon fully unleashed its might and attacked the Psychic Mage Parker with rocks and sand .

Parker fled ignominiously . He was not only under the attack of the ferocious Granite Inferior Dragon, but he was also suffering the wrath of Jiang Shaoxu . No one had ever dared touch the deepest secret inside her heart . The man could easily attack her with other illusions, yet he had decided to use the cruelest method .

He initially thought he could crush Jiang Shaoxu's mind, but little did he know, it was both the most fragile and sturdiest place in her mind . Her tears had fallen, yet her heart had grown even stronger!

Chapter 1109: 1109

"How can they afford to be so careless?" Johnson cursed .

The Granite Inferior Dragon was chasing after Parker fiercely . The magic armor that Parker was wearing was torn into pieces by the dragon, fresh blood pouring out of it .

The woman with moles had the Healing Element as her tertiary Element . She quickly cast a Healing Spirit to treat Parker's injuries when she saw the man running toward her .

"The Inferior Dragon is out of control, I suggest we take it out first!" Reed said coldly .

The captain, Johnson nodded . The tanned Mage had suffered a mental breakdown, so he was basically out of the match . If they had to fight the Inferior Dragon while they were down one member, it was the same as the four of them going against six enemies . It was too much of a disadvantage for them .

Johnson suddenly vanished with a flicker .

The Inferior Dragon continued to chase after Parker . As it was about to attack Parker again, dark Shadow Orbits suddenly emerged below its feet . The Shadow Orbits quietly constructed a formation . Following that, countless dark pikes were fired, nailing into the enormous Inferior Dragon .

The Inferior Dragon tried to move forward, yet it realized that it could no longer move its body .

"Darkness Erosion!" Johnson said callously . The dark pikes that stabbed the Inferior Dragon started to corrode its sturdy skin .

Its skin was the main reason that the Inferior Dragon was unafraid of magic . Even Advanced Spells were unable to inflict any damage on the creature . However, its skin was corroded severely under Johnson's dark magic, and it even started to fall off piece by piece .

Reed took hold of the opportunity . He raised his hands, his arms covered by lightning in the shape of springs .

Two Silent Deadly Bolts collided in front of the Granite Inferior Dragon . The impact immediately formed a destructive lightning storm, with lightning arcs soaring into the sky like dragons . The lightning spread further into the distance .

The Granite Inferior Dragon was right in the middle of the storm and blasted by the lightning strikes . The strong lightning current knocked the enormous creature to the ground!

"Don't let it get back up again!" Johnson strengthened the control and erosion of his dark magic .

Reed summoned the fiery snake again . The snake engulfed in green flames rammed into the Granite Inferior Dragon before it could rise to its feet, leaving a scorched hole on its chest…

The Granite Inferior Dragon could no longer get up . The quick teamwork between Reed and Johnson had allowed them to take out the Granite Inferior Dragon in just a few moments .

"The German team requests a substitution!" the main judge announced in a loud voice . Two assistant judges immediately carried the tanned Mage down the stage, and the half-dead Granite Inferior Dragon was withdrawn into his Contracted Space .

The member being substituted into the match had to enter the stage from the boundary . After the tanned Mage was carried down the stage, a skinny Wind Mage came in and swiftly grouped up with the rest of the team . He said with a faint smile, "It's a surprise that our team has sent in a substitute first, but it isn't really a surprise how disappointing you guys are!"

"Fendy, enough talk; do you see that Sound Maga? Your job is to take her out in the shortest time possible . She has been quite a nuisance in stopping Reed's spells," Johnson pointed out .

"What about that Psychic Mage? Her mental strength isn't weak, either," the man called Fendy asked .

"Parker will handle her," Johnson turned around and glanced at Parker . The man's hair was disheveled, and he seemed to be in bad shape . Luckily, he was pretty good at running away . The Granite Inferior Dragon was unable to inflict any serious damage to him .

Fendy was a Wind Mage, his speed was outstanding . The winds scattered in his surroundings were like fast-traveling tunnels for him . He was so quick that his moves were basically unpredictable!

Fendy was soon keeping Nanyu busy . Nanyu had good hearing, allowing her to tell where her enemy was attacking from . However, when the enemy was so quick that he could mix in a few feints before his attempts, it no longer mattered, even if she knew where he was attacking from!

Parker continued to have a showdown of the Psychic Element with Jiang Shaoxu, while Fendy continued to harass Nanyu . The destructive Mage, Reed burst out laughing and said, "No one can possibly stop me now!"

"Take that defensive Mage out, he's annoying to deal with!" Johnson ordered .

The German team was having quite a headache trying to break through Zhao Manyan's defense . The best way to take him out was by going all out at him . Otherwise, if his defensive spells regenerated and were off cooldown, all their efforts would be in vain!

"Down you go!" Reed's destructive Spells returned to the stage . He blasted the Chinese team wildly by combining his Lightning and Fire Elements .

The man's magic was able to penetrate defensive spells . Zhao Manyan had no choice but to activate his defensive equipment .

To the team's relief, he had brought quite a lot of magic equipment to the match . The enemy's spells were able to ignore his defensive spells, yet were unable to penetrate the defense of magic equipment . The magic equipment allowed Zhao Manyan to hold his ground temporarily .

"This guy!" Reed was agitated when he saw Zhao Manyan keep pulling out magic Equipment, as if the man had an endless supply of them .

Reed almost forgot that Zhao Manyan was the son of the Zhao Financial Group . He might be lacking in other aspects, but when it came to magic equipment, it was quite obvious that the man had lots of high-quality magic equipment .

Zhao Manyan had a wooden-shield ring on his left hand, and a rock-wall bracelet on his right hand . His magic armor was fairly tough, and even his Wing Magical Equipment could produce a golden barrier to protect him .

Normally, Reed could easily take out his opponents, since he was able to surprise them with his Innate Talent . However, he was quite enraged when facing the pay-to-win Turtle Shell Mage with a full set of defensive equipment!

"You might have a lot of defensive equipment, but I wonder if your teammates have enough defensive Equipment to protect them!" Reed was not stupid . He immediately directed his destructive spells at Nanyu instead!

Zhao Manyan was the tank of the team . Having a high defense alone was not enough, since he had to take the bullets for his teammates, too . Zhao Manyan was long prepared for that . He immediately ran toward Nanyu when he saw Reed switching his target!

"We might have trouble knocking you out, but do you seriously think we can't trap you in one place? Enjoy your stay here!" a cold voice said . Zhao Manyan turned to his side . He did not see anyone nearby, but a huge curtain of darkness was looming over him .

Chains of darkness landed on Zhao Manyan . Zhao Manyan tried to escape with Earth Wave, but the coverage of the Nyx Regime was a lot bigger than he thought . He was unable to outrun the darkness in time .

"Crap!" Zhao Manyan had a bad feeling .

As a defensive Mage, his greatest weakness was being trapped in one place . Even if his defense was as sturdy as a turtle shell, he was completely useless if the enemy simply trapped him in the maze of the Nyx Regime!

Zhao Manyan was still in the maze of darkness . He finally broke free from the chains, yet he was struggling to find the way out .

Not long after, the main judge announced in a loud voice, "The Chinese team requests a substitution!"

Zhao Manyan was trying his best to break free from the Nyx Regime . In the meantime, he was hoping that the person that was knocked out on their team was that little b**ch, Mu Tingying .

However, the truth was not as ideal as he thought . It was Nanyu that failed to defend herself against Reed's destructive spells, which were able to ignore any defensive spells .

The person that substituted for her was Jiang Yu . Again, it was not what Zhao Manyan had expected . Shouldn't they send Mo Fan into the match by now, so the two destructive Mages could have a showdown and see who was going to last until the end?

What could Jiang Yu possibly offer?

Jiang Yu immediately summoned his Rock Golem General when he entered the stage . To everyone's surprise, the Rock Golem General had evolved to the Commander-level, and its thick rocky skin had turned into a powerful shield!

Although Reed's magic was able to ignore defensive spells, it was unable to penetrate someone's defense . His spells were only effective if his captain Johnson cast the same spell that had eroded the Inferior Dragon's armor .

Zhao Manyan had always thought Jiang Yu's heavy and clumsy Rock Golem was fairly useless . However, as the creature stood firmly in front of the team to endure the destructive spells for them, Zhao Manyan was quite impressed by it!

"Look out, they are using the same approach again!" Ai Jiangtu knew Johnson was on the move when he sensed the presence of the Shadow Element surging around the Rock Golem General .

Johnson's Dark Magic was fairly powerful . It was able to erode the sturdy skin of the Inferior Dragon . It was likely that the spell was the Rock Golem General's weakness, too .

"Too slow!" Johnson grinned coldly, hurling several shadow pikes at the Rock Golem General from his mantle .

The shadow pikes were unstoppable . As they landed on the Rock Golem General, its skin began to erode at a pace visible to the naked eyes…

A silver rhomboid appeared above the Rock Golem General right after the shadow spikes . The strong gravitational force knocked the creature to the ground . The creature was already struggling to stand from the erosion, so it immediately slammed to the ground as the rhomboid came crashing down onto it!

The silver flicker in Reed's eyes slowly disappeared . The giant rock creature had been quite a nuisance to deal with, but now, he would soon knock the members of the Chinese team out with his destructive spells one by one!

Lightning flickered rapidly in the air, with deep groans of thunder above the clouds . It felt like they were going to explode at any second!

The lightning strikes came down at the Chinese team . Each lightning strike had a hint of a sinister, green light, and whenever the lightning strikes easily passed through the defensive spells, the green luster would brighten up…

"Night Rakshasa, take him out with a single blow!" Jiang Yu ordered .

Jiang Yu had endured the attack silently . As he was covered in wounds and bruises after being struck by the lightning, the Night Rakshasa that had been hiding in the dark made her move .

Jiang Yu knew that their first priority was to take out the destructive Mage on the opposing team . He had allowed the man to attack his Rock Golem General just so he would lower his guard .

The Night Rakshasa was a brilliant assassin . She was completely silent as she moved across the sand . She dashed forward within the brief darkness whenever a lightning flash took place . The agile cat demon turned into a dark slash and swept past the back of Reed's neck without a sign .

Jiang Yu was not trying to take Reed's life . The organizer had made it clear that if the participants were able to leave a little scratch on the opponents' vital parts, they would be disqualified from the match .

As such, the Night Rakshasa only needed to leave a faint scratch on the back of Reed's neck to disqualify him!

Reed was still immersed in the pleasure of his destructive spells . He was usually a man with no expression, but whenever he saw his enemy fleeing for their lives before him, he would burst out laughing like a maniac . He enjoyed watching the despair that his enemy showed whenever he attacked with his destructive spells!

That distraction had prevented him from noticing the agile cat demon approaching him .

Reed reacted fairly quickly . He yelled, "Telekinesis: Scatter!" when he noticed the ambusher was right behind him .

The force of the Telekinesis circled the man before shoving in all directions, trying to knock the Night Rakshasa away .

The petite figure of the Night Rakshasa forced her way through the force like a needle and continued to approach Reed's weak spot .

Reed panicked . He did not even have the time to summon his magic Armor . He could only dodge instinctively .

"Earth Wave!" Not far away, the German team's captain, Johnson cast a spell . He controlled the sand below Reed's feet and forcibly dragged the man toward him .

It was unlikely that Reed could dodge the Night Rakshasa's attack on his own . However, with Johnson's help, Reed managed to dodge the deadly attack . The Night Rakshasa's claws only left a deep cut half a meter long on Reed's back .

"Damn it, it was so close!" Jiang Yu was disappointed upon seeing the outcome .

If the Night Rakshasa had been able to take Reed out, their team would have a great chance at winning the match .

However, Johnson, the captain of the opposing team, was a very sharp and experienced fighter . On top of that, the man's primary Element was the Shadow Element, so it was very likely that he had noticed the Night Rakshasa as she was making her move .

Normally, people would simply mistake the slight presence of magic as part of the collision between spells, and simply ignore it . However, the German team's captain was extremely cautious, and he managed to save Reed in the nick of time!

"Don't underestimate these Chinese, do you understand?!" the German captain snapped coldly .

If they took the match seriously, they would surely find openings to disqualify the members of the Chinese team, but the two teams were currently on an equal footing . It definitely did not look good for them!

"That son of a b**ch, I won't forgive him!" Reed said, clenching his teeth as he felt the burning pain on his back .

The woman with moles quickly backed away from the fight with Mu Tingying to treat Reed's injury, since the man was the core of their team!

"Go and unleash your wrath, little beast!" the woman with moles said in an alluring manner after treating the man's wound .

Reed was truly infuriated . Now that two of his teammates were focusing on protecting him, he no longer needed to keep an eye on the detestable cat demon .

The man vented his anger by casting a Fire spell with a furious roar . The flames of the formidable Sky-Flame Funeral poured down from the sky . As the people lifted their gazes, they immediately saw a meteorite coming down at Venice, bearing a spectacular aura of death!

The Hellish Flames had wide coverage and were entirely unstoppable . Almost half of the stage was set aflame .

Ai Jiangtu tried his best to rescue his teammates by casting Blink continuously . He first repositioned Jiang Shaoxu since he was right in the middle of the blast, before knocking Jiang Shaoxu further into the distance with his Telekinesis . He then stood in front of Mu Tingying and used his will to form a wall to face the sinister, green flames directly…

Unfortunately, even the defense set up with his will was still considered a defensive spell, meaning that the Hellish Flames were able to pass through it with ease .

The flames knocked Ai Jiangtu and Mu Tingying flying, the scorching heat striking them fiercely .

The two had already used some of their defensive equipment . They were struggling to stand against the incredible force .

Mu Tingying was devoured by the Hellish Flames . She slammed into the barrier and almost lost consciousness . An assistant judge quickly came and carried her down the stage .

Mu Tingying soon regained consciousness . When she realized she had been carried down the stage by the assistant judge, she snapped furiously, "I'm fine, put me down, I still have equipment that I haven't used!"

"You have been disqualified from the match," the assistant judge declared firmly .

The assistant judges would save the participants based on their judgment . Even if they made the wrong call, the participant would still be disqualified from the match!

Mu Tingying's situation was right on the edge, and in the eyes of the relatively young assistant judge, her life was already in danger, so he decided to intervene .

As soon as he intervened, it did not matter if Mu Tingying was still fit for battle, she would still be disqualified!

Mu Tingying's face darkened . She had the urge to tear the assistant judge into pieces . She had been disqualified before she could even use her trump card!

The substitution member immediately replaced Mu Tingying as soon as she was carried down the stage .

The member replacing Mu Tingying was Nanrong Ni . The team was being blasted mercilessly by the opposing destructive Mage . Almost every member of the team was injured . At this rate, the remaining four members would soon be knocked out, so it was necessary to send Nanrong Ni in to heal them so they could recover their strength .

Nanrong Ni's primary Element was Healing . Her Healing Magic was a lot stronger than the woman with moles on the German team . Not long after she entered the stage, she managed to heal Ai Jiangtu's burns, Zhao Manyan's festered skin, Jiang Shaoxu's broken bones, and Jiang Yu's electric shock, allowing them to recover most of their strength .

"It's useless to send a Healer in now!" Reed totally turned into a powder keg surrounded by lightning . Wherever he went, he would simply stir a great disaster with his elemental spells .

Since Nanyu was disqualified, Reed had been completely unstoppable . The five members of the Chinese team were forced to use their defensive equipment .

However, the defensive equipment could only be used once . Even Zhao Manyan, who was wearing a full set of defensive equipment was about to run out of it soon .

Seeing this, Feng Li frowned and glanced at Mo Fan, who was like a wild horse champing at the bit . The man said, "Prepare yourself, the others have forced the German team to show what they have, don't let us down . "

"Mo Fan, do your best!" Mu Nujiao called out with a smile from where she was sitting among the substitutes .

"Just you watch, I'll blast them to the ground!" Mo Fan had long waited for his turn .
