At the hotel where the China Team was staying, everyone gathered in the restaurant.
"Damn it, Old Jiang, you're finally out of seclusion. If you didn't come out, the competition would have been over!" Mo Fan said.
"How was it? Is the effect of that Wish Fruit as miraculous as the legends say?" Zhao Manyan asked curiously.
Everyone else was also very curious. The legends described the Wish Fruit in exaggerated terms, and its value was also very high.
It was impossible not to be curious.
"Hmm."
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "How should I put it? I awakened another magic System."
"What?!!!"
As soon as he spoke, everyone was shocked.
As Jiang Yuan spoke, lightning wrapped around his palm.
Seeing this, everyone had to believe the authenticity of the Wish Fruit.
"It can really awaken an additional magic System? Doesn't that mean he's naturally a Dual-System Mage?" Zhao Manyan exclaimed, and everyone's gaze turned to Mo Fan, who was naturally a Dual-System Mage.
Mo Fan grumbled inwardly.
My innate Dual-System isn't an ordinary innate Dual-System; it means that every time I awaken, a Dual-System is bound to appear!
"Is your fourth magic System Thunder?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
Jiang Yuan nodded, the lightning on his hand was very obvious.
In fact, the Wish Fruit only allowed his spiritual power to reach the Eighth Realm; he hadn't discovered any other effects yet.
As for why he said he additionally awakened the Thunder System.
It was just to give his Thunder System a suitable excuse to appear.
After all, he had awakened the Thunder System for so long, and besides using it for Electromagnetic Domain and when inducing Thunder phenomena, it basically had no chance to appear.
It was time to bring the Thunder System to the forefront.
"If only I could awaken the Thunder System, I also want to be a violent Thunder Mage!" Zhao Manyan said tearfully.
"Just dream about it. It's better for you to continue being a Turtle Shell Mage. Let destructive Mages like me and Old Jiang handle the output," Mo Fan patted Zhao Manyan's shoulder and said gleefully.
"What are you all talking about? It's so lively!"
A hearty laugh came, and Feng Li walked over.
Standing beside him was a middle-aged man with a calm and steady demeanor.
"Great Speaker!" Ai Jiangtu recognized the person and immediately stood up to salute.
"Great Leader!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed, also standing up to greet him, as did the others.
"Jiang Yuan, you've finally ended your seclusion! I imagine you must have gained a lot during your seclusion," Great Speaker Shao Zheng said with a smile.
Shao Zheng, as the Great Speaker, had nothing particularly remarkable about him. At first glance, one might even think he was an ordinary person, like an uncle one might meet on the street.
"Yes, you've been in seclusion for so long, does that Wish Fruit really have such a miraculous effect?" Feng Li asked.
Jiang Yuan repeated his previous statement.
After listening, Shao Zheng sighed, "Awakening an additional magic System, no wonder the Parthenon Temple in Greece has always refused to consider the Wish Fruit a treasure. I heard that the Wish Divine Tree only produced two Wish Fruits this time, and I wonder if the other one will also have such an effect."
"That's possible, since they ripened at the same time," Feng Li said.
Shao Zheng nodded, pondering in his mind about sending someone to Greece to get the other Wish Fruit and try it out.
Of course, his purpose for this trip was not simply to ask a few questions, nor was it to just meet the National College Team members.
He was here to tell the National College Team about China's difficult situation.
China, with less than the top twenty resources in the world, had indeed resisted the top five demon numbers and strengths globally.
This didn't mean Chinese Mages were exceptionally strong, but rather that there were many Chinese Mages. It should be known that the Death rate of Chinese Mages was the highest in the world!
Winning the championship meant China would gain more resources, which could reduce Mage casualties.
And these meritorious officials would also receive corresponding rewards and commendations!
After encouraging the China Team, Shao Zheng left.
Mo Fan and the others were left feeling inspired, vowing to make the China Team the world's number one!
Jiang Yuan also felt a sense of emotion. The Great Speaker's words reminded him of China in his previous life.
In a similar predicament, it gradually rose to a point where no country dared to underestimate it, and later, only the United States could contend with it.
It could be foreseen that China would sooner or later become the world's number one!
However, in the magic world, China was surrounded by demons, with no time or opportunity for development.
But in Jiang Yuan's view, these were minor issues. Once he dominated all the demons in the world, there would naturally be opportunities.
Such a future was not far off.
… … … … … …
… … … … … …
The schedule for the finals was very tight, with matches day after day.
The National College Team only had one night to recover. Fortunately, with the presence of Healing Mages, no matter how badly injured they were, they could recover.
As for magic energy, one night was enough to replenish it.
Today was the match between the China Team and the British Team.
The topic immediately became very hot.
The British Team captain, Jerome, had only shown his Summoning System and Wind System strength so far, with one System still unexposed.
Everyone was looking forward to what the battle between the China Team and the British Team would look like, and bets on the outcome began.
Given that Jiang Yuan had not shown his face before, some people went all in, choosing to bet on the British Team's victory.
With such high odds, winning would mean a lifetime of worry-free living!
Those gamblers didn't know that even if they won now, they would lose everything elsewhere later.
Inside the Magic Arena.
Both teams waited in their respective waiting areas for their turn to enter.
After the referee completed the field setup, he immediately had both teams enter.
On the China Team's side, Jiang Yuan walked at the very front.
His appearance immediately caused a wave of wailing.
"My money! That was the money I prepared to advance to High-Level Mage!!"
"Damn Chinese, didn't they say their captain was missing?"
"We've been tricked, those intelligence peddlers whose families all died! Now it's all over!"
Of course, only a small portion were wailing; most knew that even without their captain, the China Team could still fight the British Team to a standstill.
"Both teams are ready, let the match begin!" With the referee's command, the match began!
"Old Jiang, don't make a move yet, give us support!" Mo Fan shouted, bursting into towering flames.
Jiang Yuan silently put away his thought of wanting to test how strong the Eighth Realm's spatial power bonus was. After applying a resonance buff to everyone, he sat down cross-legged to the side.
"Huh, why is the China Team captain sitting there?" The audience was puzzled.
However, they soon knew why.
They saw dozens of Starmaps suddenly connect behind Mo Fan and the others, all completed in One Mind!
Colorful brilliance reflected in the audience's eyes, and the next moment, endless elements surged wildly on the field!
"Is that One Thought Star Map!???"
Jerome's pupils constricted, looking in shock at the absurd scene he couldn't even imagine before him.
