Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 223 An Encounter with the National Team

"Li Xiangyuan, male, 46 years old, works at the Dubai Magicians Association, has a super-level cultivation, majors in fire magic and minors in curse magic."

The three were walking on the beach when Lingling suddenly spoke.

After leaving Daitoku-ji Temple, Lingling started tinkering with her little computer.

Not long after, he suddenly opened his mouth and told Lin Ming all the information about the scarred man.

Wow! The box opened instantly!
Lin Ming's eyes widened slightly as he looked at Lingling with some surprise.

But this is not Lingling's limit.

Lingling was holding the small computer in one hand, while her other hand was constantly typing on the screen.

His eyes darted up and down, scanning the information on the screen, his brow furrowing slightly.
"Three years ago, I came to Asuka City as a diplomat. With my super-level cultivation and status in the Asian Magicians Association, I became the center of attention for all the local aristocratic families!"

"He is on good terms with all the prominent families in Asuka City, and he can even subtly influence the decisions of the Asuka City government."

"The residence is located in a detached villa area in the northwest corner of Asuka City. There are rumors that different women enter the villa every day, but they have not been seen coming out in the morning."

Lin Ming admitted that he had underestimated Lingling's intelligence-gathering ability. In just a few minutes, she had dug up all the information about a high-ranking super-level mage!

Name, cultivation level, age, address—everything except their ID card and birth date was dug up!

"Can diplomats interfere with Asuka City's decisions?"

Ding Yumin looked at Lingling with some surprise.

Under the protection of the deans and Lin Ming, she had little contact with the outside world and was therefore unaware of the immense power of the aristocratic families in this world.

Of course, what's even more important is the Asian Magicians Association behind Lee Sang-won.

The aristocratic family is an organization independent of the state. If there is any danger, they can even leave the country without any burden and seek refuge in other countries, without losing much power.

This is precisely why these aristocratic families are more inclined to support the Asian Magicians Association, which has a prominent international standing, and they practically fawn over Li Xiangyuan, who comes from the Asian Magicians Association.

“I’ve gathered some more information.” Lingling suddenly looked at Lin Ming, a complex and suspicious look flashing in her eyes.

"What?" Lin Ming asked, somewhat surprised.

“Since two and a half years ago, there have been a series of cases of missing babies in Asuka City.”

"And after two and a half years, there has been virtually no progress."

"And combined with some other information, it vaguely points to this Li Xiangyuan."

"So, it's possible that Lee Sang-won is still stealing children?"

Lingling's eyes were full of confusion. She didn't understand why this super-level mage would steal a child, but based on the information she had gathered, this was the most likely truth.

Lin Ming sighed.

Indeed, who would have thought that the person who collects hunting babies in the world would be Su Lu, the president of the Asian Magicians Association?

This world is always so strange. It seems that no matter who it is, as long as they are powerful, they can directly use ordinary people at the bottom as resources.

Seeing Lin Ming remain silent, Lingling didn't ask any further questions, but instead focused her attention on the screen.

Ding Yumin gently took Lin Ming's hand.

Your heart is in turmoil.

"Sorry, I was just thinking about something." Lin Ming chuckled and shook his head.

"By the way, has anyone figured out which branch this yin-yang symbol belongs to?" Lin Ming changed the subject and looked at Lingling.

Lingling pulled out a small stool from somewhere and sat on the beach.

Seemingly because her hands were a little tired, she placed the laptop on her lap.

“If we follow the classification of sacred totems as you described, it should belong to the Azure Dragon lineage,” Lingling replied thoughtfully.

Lin Ming walked to his side, took out the notes he had obtained from Commander Jiang, and began to ponder as he flipped through them.

"It seems that a portion also belongs to Xuanwu?"

"Yes, but the Azure Dragon part is significantly larger than the Black Tortoise part."

Lingling nodded.

"That's a pity. It seems it has little to do with the Three-Legged Golden Crow. But being able to fuse the two domains should be enough for a fire-type breakthrough," Lin Ming said softly. "By the way, are you about to transcend the ranks?" Lingling asked Lin Ming.

Lin Ming didn't say anything, he just shrugged.

Now, there's basically no bottleneck in his fire element breakthrough to the super-tier; all he lacks is time.

"Damn it! The Nationalist team didn't pay me a single penny, no hotel, no plane, and they even freaking froze my bank account! What the hell are we supposed to do? Go to Japan? How are we supposed to get there? Swim there!"

The shouting and cursing instantly shattered the world's tranquility, and several seagulls under the blue sky were startled and took flight!

A thug-like man was shouting and cursing at the sky, occasionally uttering vulgar and offensive language.

"Otherwise, how could it be called a training experience?"

The woman with a beauty mark on the corner of her mouth smiled gently, exuding a bewitching aura with every gesture.

"Stop yelling! If they find out you're an undocumented immigrant, your training will fail!"

A cocky, spoiled brat glanced disdainfully at the man who was yelling at him.

"Dead fish! Want to fight me one-on-one?"

Mo Fan clenched his fist suddenly and then looked at Guan Yu.

Guan Yu sneered and gently twisted his fist.

"Substitutes should have the mindset of being substitutes!"

"Stop! Be quiet!"

A dark-skinned man with a resolute face stopped the two men who were about to attack, and said with utmost seriousness.
"The most important thing now is to find a way to get to Japan. We should save our energy for figuring out a better way!"

"Consider yourself lucky!" Guan Yu snorted and stopped what he was doing.

But the only response he received was Mo Fan's middle finger.

"you!"

Guan Yu was instantly enraged, but with Ai Jiangtu standing by, he couldn't lash out, and could only resort to yin-yang rhetoric.

"If you're so capable, why haven't you found a solution? What kind of skill is it to just curse in the street!"

Mo Fan was not about to fall for such a simple provocation, and immediately looked away, completely ignoring the guy.

But what I saw next was something incredible.

"How embarrassing!"

Lingling quietly hid behind Lin Ming.

She hadn't expected Mo Fan to be such a rascal in public, and as his hunter partner, she felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Ming just smiled.

"Mo Fan is acting normally."

"Haha! I've got an idea!" Mo Fan suddenly burst into laughter, drawing everyone's attention.

Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to the direction Mo Fan was looking.

In an instant, the expressions of most of the National Team members changed.

"Three tourists? What? Did you run into someone you know at the substitute meeting? But you haven't forgotten that we don't have ID cards, have you? You think one person can get all of us into Japan? That's no small amount of money!"

Guan Yu chuckled dismissively.

However, he did not notice that the expressions of many people in the group had changed.

Mo Fan, of course, needed no further explanation, and Zhao Manyan also breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

Mu Ningxue's gaze towards him was somewhat complicated, while Nan Yu seemed to recall the terrifying flames that had fallen from the sky.

The person whose expression changed the most was Jiang Shaoxu.

His previously nonchalant expression froze upon seeing Lin Ming, followed by surprise and disbelief. However, upon seeing Ding Yumin holding hands with Lin Ming, only horror remained.
