"We won! We won!"
"Jiang Yuan is invincible!!!"
"We defeated the British Team!!"
The China Team spectators cheered and applauded.
Even the British Team, a strong contender for the championship, was easily defeated. What about the other teams?
It's stable, it's really stable!!
Even though all the spectators knew that the China Team was the biggest favorite to win the championship, many teams had not yet revealed their true strength.
No one could be 100% certain that the China Team would claim the final victory.
Therefore, from the perspective of the China Team spectators, every victory was exhilarating!
With each subsequent victory, the China Team was making history!
"The eighth realm," a highly respected elder at the top of the spectator stands said in a deep voice.
He was Natto, the previous head of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, British, whose strength was extremely powerful even among the Super-Level, though that was his strength when he was younger.
As time passed, much of the magic glory had faded from him.
"Indeed, it is the eighth realm. The Mind System realm has improved too quickly," another big shot beside him nodded.
"At this rate of growth, I'm afraid he'll be at the peak of the Super-Level in just a few years, and with enough resources, he'll be a Super-Level. China Team won't just let him be…" Natto's eyes flickered.
Since he embarked on the path of magic, he had seen countless geniuses, and more than one afflicted person.
Although Jiang Yuan did not display the kind of heaven-defying talent of an afflicted person who could progress rapidly without needing to cultivate, the sum of what he had displayed was already comparable to, or even surpassed, that of an afflicted person.
"I hope he can grow smoothly. Not only China Team needs magical geniuses, but all countries troubled by demon beasts need magical geniuses," Natto said.
The subsequent matches continued.
During this time, the Egypt Team's strength exceeded everyone's expectations.
The British Team, who had already lost once, lost again to Egypt Team.
Even if the British Team won all their subsequent matches, their ranking would definitely not be higher than in previous years, and there was a possibility of setting a new historical low.
Meanwhile, China Team once again secured a win against America, firmly holding the top spot in the winner's bracket.
After another round, the China Team's next opponent was revealed.
This time, the opponent was the Greece Team.
Like the British Team, the Greece Team was a super strong team in past National Government tournaments, and their team also had a goddess candidate.
If even the Greece Team couldn't score a point against China Team...
The betting resumed.
The spectators placed their bets frantically, and the winning side they favored was the China Team, the Greece Team's opponent!
...
On the arena, both the China Team and the Greece Team were waiting for the match to begin.
The Greece Team was strategizing for this match.
"Our chances of winning this match are not high," Asha Ruiya said directly to everyone.
"Saintess, with your leadership, we will definitely win!" a man with bulging eyes in the team said fanatically.
Asha Ruiya shook her head, "I've watched the China Team's matches more than once. Their destruction mages are much stronger than ours. Even if Captain Jiang Yuan doesn't use destruction magic, any of his offensive spells are much more powerful than destruction magic."
"As for defensive magic, you should understand without me saying it. Besides Zhao Manyan, who is clearly a defensive mage, Captain Jiang Yuan also possesses Water System defensive magic, but he has never revealed it. I estimate his defensive magic is definitely not weaker than Zhao Manyan's!"
"And their vice-captain Ai Jiangtu, his strength is definitely not as insignificant as it appears. And Mu Ningjiao of the China Team…"
Asha Ruiya analyzed all the members of the China Team.
The Greece Team members grew increasingly alarmed as they listened.
With such an explanation, the gap was indeed significant.
Especially when One Thought Star Map was mentioned.
They all fell silent.
"However, having said that, they don't have powerful Mind mages. Perhaps we can use Mind magic to increase our chances of winning," Asha Ruiya said.
"The Saintess is right. My Mind magic, with the Saintess's blessing, can increase its power by more than double. It will definitely catch the China Team off guard!" the bulging-eyed man, Mita, said excitedly.
"Then let's do this, we will…"
Asha Ruiya immediately began to strategize.
Soon, the referee called both teams to the field.
The China Team made adjustments to their starting five.
Mu Ningjiao replaced Mu Ningxue.
Dongfang Lie replaced Ai Jiangtu.
The other personnel remained unchanged. If changes were needed, substitutions could be requested during the match.
There were a total of three opportunities.
"That Asha Ruiya from the Greece Team is really beautiful. I wonder if I can get to know her after the match," Mo Fan stared at Asha Ruiya with sparkling eyes.
Because of Jiang Yuan, Mo Fan only knew about Asha Ruiya after arriving in Venice.
"Hello, Captain Jiang," Asha Ruiya greeted Jiang Yuan with a smile.
"Hello, hello. Are you ready to win this match?" Jiang Yuan responded with a smile.
Asha Ruiya nodded, "Of course, we've already discussed our strategy to deal with you. Don't take it lightly."
Her tone was as if she were talking to an old friend, making Mo Fan repeatedly ask Jiang Yuan if he had any relationship with Asha Ruiya.
Mu Ningjiao stared intently at Asha Ruiya.
A woman of great beauty and temperament, who seemed to have known Jiang Yuan for a long time.
Mu Ningjiao felt very displeased.
The match began.
With the enhancement of One Thought Star Map, Mo Fan, as usual, used Fierce Fist to unleash a spectacular meteor fire rain comparable to Heavenly Flame Funeral upon the Greece Team.
This had become a customary act for him at the beginning of every match.
If asked why he would disregard the consumption of magic energy to create such a grand spectacle, Mo Fan could only answer: it's cool, very cool!
And the feeling of casting spells without restraint was truly exhilarating!
The Greece Team reacted quickly. Asha Ruiya held nothing back, and after blessing her teammates, she immediately used dark power.
A black armor armed her delicate body, and her beautiful, exquisite face was covered by a thin, soft layer of armor.
A slender dark sword appeared in her palm, and black energy condensed into a dark warhorse trampling on the arena.
"Swish!!!"
The sword tip cut through the air, and dark power erupted!
Black and red formed a distinct dividing line in the sky!
A rustling sound came from the ground, revealing thick, emerald green Plant System vines, targeting Asha Ruiya!
Kallous from the Greece Team also had the Plant System, and she held the position of destruction mage in the team.
The moment she saw Mu Ningjiao make her move, she also used her Plant magic to fight back!
The others also started fighting.
Dongfang Lie made his debut, showcasing his flame magic, which immediately astonished the audience.
His innate talent, combined with the resources he had obtained during this period, greatly enhanced the power of his Fire System magic!
