"Click."
The Three-Eyed Underworld General pulled out the over ten-meter-long greatsword from his back, its cold gleam chilling to the bone.
Just as he was about to charge forward and hack wildly, Jiang Yuan stopped him: "Let your little hounds hunt them down."
Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Underworld General retracted his bone hand.
He used his Nether Eye to leave an indelible, scarlet single-eye mark on each Tentacle Demon.
After this, there was no need to worry; the Naska Divine Hound would hunt them down.
As long as the secret of the Illusory Projection was not broken, then the Naska Divine Hound would truly be endless!
The brutal Tentacle Demons were indeed very strong among Commander-level creatures, but facing the continuous hunting of the almost infinite Naska Divine Hounds, they quickly fled in disarray.
"Kukha!!!!"
One Tentacle Demon reacted too slowly and was bitten on the torso by a Naska Divine Hound; in that instant, a large number of Nazca swarmed over, and the Tentacle Demon let out a miserable howl.
Its skeletal torso was torn open, and its soul fire flickered precariously!
The Naska Divine Hound could not only cause physical damage but also had a strong attack capability against souls.
After all, they originated from the spiritual symbol of the Nether Eye and were also born from the Red Demon Embryo!
The Tentacle Demon's soul fire existed for only a few seconds before exploding in mid-air!
All soul energy, without any leakage, re-condensed into a spirit essence, which Jiang Yuan quietly collected.
The other Tentacle Demons fled frantically across the island.
But as long as they were within the barrier, even if they burrowed underground, they would be chased out by the Naska Divine Hound.
They had nowhere to hide!
"It's over, it's all over." Sayid watched the scene unfolding before him, utterly disheartened.
"We've done our best, but the championship is not for our Egypt Team," Mios sighed.
This year could be said to be the Egypt Team's best chance to win the championship.
Such a good opportunity would not appear again in the future.
However, the suddenly appearing China Team completely crushed their hope.
They couldn't get the championship and could only settle for third place.
Due to the special nature of the competition, this match was not a final for first and second place; the winner was the champion, and the loser could only be the third-place winner.
The runner-up would be chosen from other teams, who would then have a large free-for-all, and the winner would become the runner-up.
This was how the National Government Competition competition rules were set up.
"Third place… third place is not bad either, at least it's much higher than in previous years. We've already made history, haven't we?"
Steve also spoke, and although his face was filled with unwillingness, it was too late to reverse the defeat.
"Let's fuse the remaining Tentacle Demons into a Great Tentacle Demon; maybe there's a chance?" Sayid said.
His heart was bleeding.
Not just for losing the championship.
But also for the incredibly precious Pharaoh's Spring.
It hurt so much!
"No need. Our tactic was the Undead Sea tactic. Now the tactic has completely failed, hasn't it? Don't forget Jiang Yuan's own strength; killing Commander-level demon beasts is not a difficult task at all. Even fusing a Great Tentacle Demon won't help," Mios shook his head and said.
"Alright…" Sayid lowered his head in despair.
The strength gap was too, too large.
"We lost, but our Egypt Undead System did not lose." Mios let out a long breath, looked at the Naska Divine Hounds running rampant on the island, and said, "These creatures are not undead at all; they are a completely new species, a new species never before discovered."
"New species? But isn't Jiang Yuan an Undead System Mage? How could he summon non-undead creatures? Does he also have the Summoning System? This shouldn't be!" Sayid exclaimed in surprise.
"Whether he has the Summoning System or not is no longer important." Mios did not answer; he only wanted to get through this chase as quickly as possible and end the match.
Those summoned Tentacle Demons had all been knocked to the ground by the Naska Divine Hounds and were being torn apart bite by bite.
Once all the Tentacle Demons were dealt with, Jiang Yuan directly asked: "Can you still summon? If not, then you're done."
"Without undead, I still have power from other magic systems! Our Egypt Team will fight to the end!" For the glory of Egypt, Mios shouted.
But he regretted it as soon as he finished shouting.
Those scarlet, strange creatures had already rushed over. It was only when they faced them directly that the Egypt Team realized how terrifying the Naska Divine Hounds were.
As long as they made eye contact with a Naska Divine Hound, they would fall into confusion, and as time passed, the degree of confusion would become increasingly severe.
The confused state would severely affect their magic release.
"They didn't even get to use the Undead Scourge; the Egypt Team is still too weak," Mo Fan remarked upon seeing this scene.
"You mentioned the Undead Scourge. Is there any other power from Jiang Yuan's Undead System that hasn't been used?" Ai Jiangtu asked.
"Nothing, nothing, haha, we won!!"
Mo Fan was about to change the subject when he saw the referee had already flown to the highest point of the island, ready to announce the final champion of the National Government Competition!
The audience now, the audience watching the live broadcast.
Teachers, students, arbitration mages, hunters…
Everyone held their breath at this moment.
"I, Chief Referee Aubrey, hereby announce."
"This World Academy Tournament, National Government Competition."
"China Team, ranked first!"
Following Aubrey's solemn announcement, splendid fireworks and celebratory cannons bloomed in the sky, their colorful radiance illuminating the faces of everyone in the China Team.
The suppressed emotions of the audience were also completely released at this moment.
"We won, we won, our China won!!!"
"Our China is first, is the world's first!!"
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"
They cheered, they danced, hugged each other in celebration, and ran through the streets spreading the news.
Everything was filled with excited joy.
"Oh oh oh, we won, we won!"
"Hahahaha! We're so damn awesome!"
Mo Fan raised his hands and cheered.
All the team members of the China Team in the stands now jumped from the ship onto the island and celebrated the joy of the championship with Jiang Yuan and the others.
Zhao Manyan gave Mo Fan a fierce hug, excitedly saying, "We're really champions, damn, it feels like a dream!"
He never expected that as the first member of the Zhao Clan Consortium to enter the National College Team, he would actually win a world championship.
In the past, what else could this be but a pipe dream?
All the members of the China Team gathered around Jiang Yuan, and in their extreme excitement, they lifted Jiang Yuan onto their shoulders, just like in TV celebrations, and tossed him high into the sky!
A smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's lips; Mo Fan and the others' joy also infected him.
His eyes looked up at the high sky.
His expression gradually changed from joy to indifference.
Pyramids, oceans, Antarctica, the Dark Plane, the Holy City…
How long could the world's peace last?
...…
