Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 123 The Brilliance of All Stars Appears, Direct Advancement!
"Look at the nonsense you're spouting! Are you satisfied now? Nobody can benefit from Jiang Yuan's big buff anymore," Zhao Manyan complained.

"What do you mean I'm just spouting nonsense? I'm talking about serious stuff! What you're spouting is just farting!" Mo Fan immediately retorted upon hearing this.

The two started hurling insults at each other.

This greatly worried the other students at Mingzhu Academy.

They eagerly awaited the opportunity to team up with Jiang Yuan and personally experience just how amazing the "Radiance of All Stars" talent truly was.

But now, they can only watch helplessly as Jiang Yuan leaves.

The difficulty increases dramatically when you compete on your own!
...

After Jiang Yuan left, he leisurely strolled through the crowd, randomly selecting lucky people to form a four-person team.

The hour-long team-up period passed in the blink of an eye.

The first match was scheduled after lunch, which provided a good opportunity for the players to get to know each other and briefly discuss tactics.

After lunch, in the waiting area.

"Can your talent really allow us to create a 'Star Map in a Single Thought'?" A sweet-looking, petite girl asked Jiang Yuan with a face full of curiosity.

The other members of the team also stared intently, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.

Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded gently.

"Wow! Does that mean we're guaranteed a high score this time?" The cute girl excitedly covered her mouth, her eyes sparkling with surprise.

She wanted to ask more questions, such as whether Jiang Yuan was single and what type of girl he liked.

But just then, it was Jiang Yuan's team's turn to compete.

Under the guidance of a teacher, they steadily walked onto the dueling platform.

The trainees watching from below the stage looked at each other in surprise when they saw that Jiang Yuan had chosen teammates who were all unknown people.

"Isn't that Jiang Yuan from Mingzhu Academy? Why isn't he teaming up with anyone from his own academy?"

"Could it be that they think they're not strong enough and don't want to team up with them?"

"How could that be? Didn't you see that bastard Mo Fan today? He's also from Pearl Academy. Although he's a bit of a jerk, he's incredibly strong. He's already mastered the mid-level fire element, and his spirit seed is extraordinary too!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but it had no effect on the contestants on the dueling stage.

With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.

Jiang Yuan acted swiftly, immediately applying buffs to his other three teammates.

In recent battles, he has played the role of a support mage, but the feeling of quietly exerting his influence from behind the scenes is not bad.

With the powerful buff from Jiang Yuan, the teammates instantly seemed to be injected with endless power, as if they were possessed by reckless warriors.

Even the petite and adorable girl laughed and kept throwing out one magic spell after another.

"BOOM!"

"Bang! Bang!!"

Explosions, thunder, and howls mingled together, echoing continuously above the dueling arena.

Thick smoke quickly spread out, enveloping the entire dueling arena.

"It is a Star Chart of One Thought, it really is a Star Chart of One Thought!"

"This is Jiang Yuan's talent, 'Radiance of All Stars'! It's incredible!"

"With this kind of talent, they're practically invincible in team battles!"

The audience clenched their fists excitedly, their eyes filled with envy, wishing they could experience firsthand the exhilarating feeling of unleashing magic without restraint.

As the smoke cleared, it became clear that the opponents had long since lost their will to fight; they huddled together, trembling with fear. Next, it was the judges' turn to score.

The first round of judges boasted a prestigious lineup, including Dean Songhe, Federal Councilor Zhu Meng, the head of the military Hua Jun, and several other senior monks of high rank and influence.

"This score..." Zhu Meng looked at the score sheet, hesitating to speak.

“Except for Jiang Yuan, all the other team members scored 80 points. As for Jiang Yuan, he will directly advance to the second round with a perfect score and will not need to participate in the subsequent matches of the first round!” Hua Junshou’s eyes were firm, and he made the decision without hesitation.

"Direct advancement? That's probably not appropriate, isn't it?" one judge questioned, looking doubtful.

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it.” Hua Junshou explained calmly, “The first round of assessment focuses on team combat capabilities. Jiang Yuan’s talent in team combat is far superior to that of any other trainee present, so his direct advancement is well-deserved.”

"What Commander Hua said is absolutely right. Everyone is already aware of Jiang Yuan's talent. With such talent, even without the regular vote, we should do our best to recommend him as a formal contestant. Simply advancing him directly to the second round is perfectly appropriate." Dean Songhe nodded slightly, expressing his agreement in a calm tone.

Hearing the two bigwigs say this, the other judges also felt that it made sense and agreed with the decision.

Soon, the scores for both teams were determined.

Dean Songhe stood up, his deep voice carrying throughout the room with the aid of magic: "After careful discussion by all of our judges, we have now made a decision."

"It is hereby officially announced that Jiang Yuan has directly advanced to the second round and does not need to continue participating in the first round of the team competition!"

"Whoa!!!"

The news caused an uproar in the audience, who whispered among themselves, expressing their doubts and protests about the decision.

"Quiet!" Hua Junshou suddenly stood up and shouted, his invisible pressure instantly sweeping across the entire scene, and the chaotic scene instantly quieted down.

His gaze was cold and stern as he slowly scanned the room. He said solemnly, "This decision will be made by our judging committee. If anyone has any questions, they can go directly to the judging committee, where we will provide a detailed explanation."

Under the powerful deterrent of the Chinese army, although everyone was dissatisfied, no one dared to voice their opposition.

The first round of team competitions continued smoothly.

However, all of this was irrelevant to Jiang Yuan. He sat comfortably in the audience, watching the intense match on stage with great interest.

A team competition with hundreds of participants is a large-scale event and cannot be completed in a single day.

After six days of intense competition, the final rankings have finally been determined.

Mu Nujiao, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Dongfang Lie all advanced.

The trainees who have successfully advanced will soon face the second round of individual competition.

.........

Before the second round began, in the university cafeteria.

Guan Yu and his group chatted.

"That Jiang Yuan really got incredibly lucky. He has such a strong natural talent and advanced directly to the second round," Guan Yu said with a displeased expression.

Others echoed this sentiment, expressing their dissatisfaction.

At that moment, someone sat down at their table.

"What's wrong with you?" Guan Yu frowned.

He recognized this person; it was Zu Jiming, who barely made it to the next round and was backed by the Zu family.

"Come over here and let's talk about the second round of voting," Zu Jiming said calmly.

"What's there to talk about? Let's just rely on our own abilities," Guan Yu said indifferently.

Zu Jiming didn't say much, but slammed the prepared documents onto the table. Jiang Yuan's handsome face was prominently displayed on them. He said, "This contains Jiang Yuan's detailed information. What you know is definitely not as comprehensive as what's on this."
