Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 232 The First Battle

"Mu Ningxue, Jiang Shaoxu, Lin Ran, Nan Jue, Mo Fan, the five of you go on stage." Instructor Feng Li directly pointed out the names of these five people.

"We are just playing against the Japanese team. There is no need for Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan and Lin Ran to fight together, right?" Seeing Instructor Feng Li's arrangement, Song He and several other teachers couldn't help but say that if it was the situation in the previous session, they would choose to retain their strength, but this time there is a pervert like Lin Ran, they can come at will, anyway, no one can beat Lin Ran, and Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan's strength is also very strong, with their lineup it is very easy to win the championship.

The overall strength of this island country's national team is definitely not worse than that of the previous Chinese team, and may even be a few points stronger. If there were no freaks like Lin Ran, if they wanted to win the game, they would have to go all out, so now they would choose to conserve their strength.

Feng Li thought for a while and felt that it seemed a bit too much. He swept his eyes over the team members again. They didn't treat the opponents as human beings at all.

"Old Feng, we have to win this game no matter what." An old-sounding voice came from behind the dugout.

At this time, an old wizard with gray hair and wearing very ordinary clothes walked over. His bright eyes quickly fell on Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu suddenly walked up to him in a hurry, and then respectfully called him "Teacher".

"Why did you come down here?" Song He was also very surprised. He looked at the short gray-haired old man in surprise.

"He is the chief court mage Pang Lai. As I told you before, Jiang Yu is his favorite student, and he is the strongest summoning mage in our country." Zhao Manyan knew that Mo Fan was face-blind, so he whispered to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan nodded, and then he saw that behind the old wizard Pang Lai, there was actually an acquaintance following him. He was Han Ji, the president of the Bell Tower Magic Association.

Lin Ran and Mo Fan are all familiar with Han Ji.

Han Ji was not surprised to see Lin Ran and Mo Fan. He just smiled and said, "As expected of you. To be honest, you are obviously making a fuss by participating in such a competition."

After all, they were two lunatics who were fighting against the Corpse of the Supreme Monarch Mountain.

"I think so too." Mo Fan couldn't help but say.

Lin Ran said, "The offer is too good to refuse."

“Hahaha, by the way, I heard that Mo Fan is very restless and is worried that you will be fired or something…” Han Ji said.

Han Ji chatted with Lin Ran and Mo Fan for a while, and then the topic returned to the issue of appearance.

Feng Li is now completely inflated. In the face of absolute strength, all plans are empty. Although he has considered being targeted, how can a group of high-level mages target a super-level mage? Now he just wants to have fun.

To be honest, except for a few freaks, the strength levels of those who can enter the national team are not that different. There are very few people like Lin Ran.

Ai Jiangtu is also very capable, why not let him go too? Can he directly defeat the island nation?

After thinking about it carefully, I decided to give up. It's not easy for others either, so at least let everyone have a chance to perform.

Of course, others obviously hold other opinions.

"This first game is very important, and involves too many things, so let Xiao Ai play as well. We must win the first battle." Master Pang Lai said. Well, he just simply wanted to see the children of his country finish the first battle with great momentum and strength, to show the momentum of their country and them.

Feng Li thought about it carefully for a while, then nodded and agreed to let Ai Jiangtu play.

Ai Jiangtu replaced Nan Jue, and he, as the captain, fought in this first battle.

"Teacher, Shao Hegu from the island nation's team is also quite strong. We have met them before in the Caribbean. In my opinion, this guy is not much weaker than me." Ai Jiangtu said very seriously.

In the previous battle with the Red Ornament Guild, although Lin Ran and Mo Fan stole the limelight, Ai Jiangtu still paid special attention to the strength of the captain of the island country team. The feeling he gave Ai Jiangtu was just one word: strong!

Honestly speaking, this guy named Shao Hegu might not have been defeated if he faced Kaso, the boss of the Red Ornament Guild at that time!

"Even you are not sure?" Master Pang Lai asked in surprise.

Ai Jiangtu is very famous among the older generation. After all, he represents the pride of the military and can easily crush his peers. He is completely a teacher among the students.

"I'm not 100% sure. It depends on the field," Ai Jiangtu said.

"Then leave it to me." Mo Fan just loves fighting.

Lin Ran couldn't help but said, "Leave the girl in the sailor suit to me."

Several people looked at Lin Ran silently.

“Uh…, the main thing is that it would be too boring if I used all my strength.” Lin Ran said.

"Be serious!" Feng Li said unhappily.

"I will do my best to win this victory." Ai Jiangtu said.

Although he was not sure, it did not mean that he could not win. After all, Lin Ran was there to back him up. Ai Jiangtu just felt that Shao Hegu's strength was unfathomable, so he needed to be more cautious, but this also made his blood boil.

"Okay, that's it, fight well!" Feng Li nodded.

Therefore, the final five contestants confirmed to participate were: Mu Ningxue, Lin Ran, Jiang Shaoxu, Ai Jiangtu, and Mo Fan.

"Are you going to sweep the other side?" a teacher raised this opinion.

"What are you talking about? It's possible to sweep all teams." Another instructor spoke up and said that if you get to know Lin Ran, you will know how strong he is.

As for tactics, there is none. Just fight. If someone can beat Lin Ran, then they will willingly admit defeat.

There are many magic arenas in Venice, and this is just one of the opening venues. However, the magic flat battlefield alone is almost as big as four football fields plus an athletic field. This is a very exaggerated scale. It is really not easy to free up such a piece of land in Venice, where every inch of land is precious.

The magic arena is very large, which means that the viewing seats are also densely packed. However, considering that magic battles are dangerous, even if there is a barrier to protect it, not too many people will be allowed to gather in the arena to watch. And with modern magic technology, whether it is a bird's-eye view, close-up, side, or front view, the battle scenes can be transmitted to the viewer without any omissions.

……

The fighting arena has now been completely tightly wrapped by the barrier. There are also some defensive mages outside the barrier. These defensive mages are responsible for resisting the huge energy that may overflow.

These people are basically high-level wizards. After all, the destructive power caused by a high-level magic is enough to shake an entire street. So even if the fighting arena is the size of four football fields combined, they still cannot let their guard down.

The international community does not encourage wizard duels, largely because energy is difficult to control. The more powerful the wizard, the more destructive the magic they create. In the past, there were many cases of accidental injuries caused by wizard duels. The duel field was initially muddy with some fine dust on it. It seemed that as long as a wind magic was cast, a large cloud of dust would be raised.

After a while, several old wizards walked into the venue, and their own earth and plant magic began to quickly change the shape of the venue.

Just like a magic trick, hard soil, mud, high rocks and hills, a different landform was quickly reshaped before people's eyes.

This was followed by performances by several old plant wizards. Ancient trees quickly rose from the ground, and the lush green woods soon formed a primeval forest!
In just a few minutes, the bare magic arena had completely turned into a wild battlefield. If the entire venue was not surrounded by a barrier and the walls of the Roman Colosseum, it would seem as if they were completely in a forest outside the city!
“These people are all professional venue designers!” Zhao Manyan couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the fighting arena that had no flaws at all.

To simulate the wild, the mages needed to have strong control to perfectly create such a wild in such a short time...

There are many kinds of mages. Mofan is a typical combat mage. Although combat mages account for the largest proportion, many forgers, smelters, pharmacists, gardeners, builders, and site managers in the city are also magicians. Their combat capabilities may not be very good, but they can build a town in a short time. Such mages can also enjoy a very high social status.

After setting up the outdoor scene, the venue designers were also amazed. At first, they thought that the battlefield would remain static and unchanging, but they did not expect that the scene could be changed at will.

In this way, the battles of the mages will not become so rigid and boring. How to make good use of the surrounding environment to gain the greatest advantage is also one of the necessary lessons for them as combat mages.

Considering that different mages have different magic systems, the terrain will bring some convenience to the mages to a certain extent. Therefore, every official contest in the Venice Water City Showdown is a temporary battlefield arranged after the players are selected, and the battlefield is often random...

"This kind of outdoor battlefield is considered a relatively moderate battlefield." Mentor Feng Li said.

Since the environment does not clearly favor the mages, this battle will depend purely on the strength of the players on both sides.

The island team was led by their captain Shao Hegu, Ming Bushong who majored in darkness, and the rising star Yang Jie. The other two were a short girl and a fat boy.

"Both players are in position." The referee's voice has already sounded.

The battle begins.

Mo Fan touched his nose and said, "One for each of you, figure it out for yourself."

"What the hell should I do?" Jiang Shaoxu said. She was not a destruction mage. Normally, she would cast magic under the protection of people. But now it was obvious that these guys were going to be reckless. What should she do? If it was a shadow mage, she would probably be gg.

“Follow Lin Ran.” Mo Fan said this and rushed out. Since he wanted to show his momentum, he just had to rush forward.

Little Princess Yan appeared and quickly merged with him. He took the lead with flames all over his body.

The next second, Ai Jiangtu with a silver glow also appeared beside Mo Fan. Both of them wanted to be reckless men.

At this time, wings of wind appeared on Mu Ningxue's body, and then she flew out like an angel. It was obvious that she was also going to rush forward.

As soon as Lin Ran took a step, Jiang Shaoxu hugged Lin Ran's arm and said, "Don't leave me!"

Lin Ran: “…”

"Uh..., don't do this, it will have a bad influence." Lin Ran said. It was obvious that their behavior would be seen by the whole world.

Suddenly a figure appeared. It was Ming Bushong. There was another person beside him. This was a young man with poison-related abilities. Although his combat power was not strong, he was able to restrain others. The island nation's goal was to restrain Lin Ran so that others would have time to deal with Mo Fan and the others. As long as they could deal with Mo Fan and the others, then even if the young man was skilled, they could still fight four against two.

Mingbusong quickly disappeared into the shadows.

The young man looked at Lin Ran with a gloomy look, and he said, "You deserve to die."

The young man's eyes were full of resentment.

"He hates you very much, what did you do?" Jiang Shaoxu said.

"Who knows? It's the first time I saw him, but never mind." Lin Ran said, and then walked forward step by step. Hot flames rose up, he clenched his fists, and the hot flames began to condense.

The young man sneered and then released the terrifying poisonous insects.

These poisonous insects are immune to magic, so there is a reason why he comes to deal with Lin Ran.

Lin Ran threw a punch, and in an instant the huge flaming fist appeared like a dragon emerging from the sea.

Before the young man could react, the environment around him changed.

Just when he was confused.

The referee said he was disqualified from the competition.

He screamed, "How is this possible?"

The referee asked him to look behind him. He turned around and found that the entire battlefield was divided into two areas by flames. Even the barrier was crumbling. His mouth opened slightly.

What kind of power is this? If he is hit, he will be turned into ashes directly, right?

The audience was equally quiet. At first they all thought Lin Ran was a pretty boy since he was very handsome. But they never expected that this guy could divide the battlefield with just one punch and even kill two people with one punch.

That’s right, Lin Ran’s attack was aimed at two people from the beginning, as long as the enemies were in a straight line.

The other person who was dealt with was a girl. She was also very confused. When she was about to use mental magic to attack Mo Fan, she was suddenly engulfed by the flaming fist that crashed through the forest. Her scalp went numb for a moment, but fortunately, the power of space pulled her out in the next second.

In an instant, all the big screens were filled with Lin Ran's fist-pumping gesture.

Then something even more surprising happened the next second, because the charming woman next to Lin Ran actually took off her stockings and stuffed them into Lin Ran's hand in public. Although most people thought this was very bad, for a gentleman, Jiang Shaoxu was a goddess!

Ahhhh.... My cousin is having a wedding banquet today, and I was asked to go and help. Damn it, why is it so difficult to write? I only have 4,000 words today, but I will make up for it. I will have 7,000 words tomorrow, and 7,000 the day after tomorrow, and 6,000 after that.
