Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 167 Key Pieces of the Fusion Magic Puzzle
That night.

The ever-hardworking Queen Jiuyou brought good news.

She successfully sent someone to the deep sea to find the spirits of the four-colored demons, but a small incident occurred during the process.

That was the little trick the Queen of the Withered Bones discovered after the Nine Netherworlds were discovered. She sent the Little Monarch, the Undersea Undead, to hunt down the undead sent by the Nine Netherworlds.

As a result, he was killed by Jiuyou Hou, who came to meet him. This created a significant grudge between them.

But these are minor issues.

Most importantly, the four-colored demon has been obtained.

This means that the most crucial piece of the fusion magic puzzle has been completed, and all that's left is for Feng Zhoulong to summon the Dharma Gate for All Beings!
Jiang Yuan immediately instructed Jiu Youhou to send the Four-Colored Demon to Feng Zhoulong in his own name, while also explaining the unique characteristics of the Four-Colored Demon in the letter.

It's believed that Feng Zhoulong, who has been researching fusion magic in advance, will soon bring good news.

The plane landed in Venice.

The Huaxia National Government team immediately boarded the special gondolas used for transportation to reunite with their mentors.

"Sigh, I wonder how long our mentor has been enjoying himself in Venice," Mo Fan sighed.

The National Team has trained all over the world, venturing into deserts, rainforests, swamps, and oceans.
In short, they went wherever the difficulties were, and had very few comfortable days in the city.

The mentors from the National Academy were elusive, communicating only via communicator throughout the day. The few times they met were when the National Academy team was undergoing replacements or eliminations.

Mo Fan strongly suspected that his mentor from the National Government had already gone to Venice and enjoyed the local customs and culture for many days!
"There's still some time before the competition starts, enough time for you to enjoy yourself," Jiang Yuan said.

"I'm not looking to be carefree, I just want to experience the local customs and culture. This is the world-famous water city of the capital. Hahaha." Mo Fan laughed, scratching the back of his head. He kept glancing at Mu Ningxue out of the corner of his eye, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't react.

The group chatted and admired the unique water city scenery, and before they knew it, the gondola had taken them to their destination.

The professors from the Nationalist government were already waiting on the riverbank.

Upon seeing the National Government team arrive, the instructors eagerly came forward to greet them.

However, it wasn't Mo Fan and his group that were being greeted; it was Jiang Yuan.

"Are you tired on the way to Jiangyuan?"

"As expected of the captain of our Chinese National Team, what you did in South America and Egypt has international significance, winning a lot of support from magical organizations for China!"

"When you return to China, there will probably be a very important commendation ceremony!"

"."

All Mo Fan and the others heard was endless flattery and praise for Jiang Yuan, practically praising him to the skies.

Jiang Yuan responded with a smile, displaying impeccable manners, which the mentors appreciated even more.

The Huaxia Guofu team checked into the hotel.

From then until the Battle of the Nationalist Government, there was free time in between.

However, the group did not intend to use it for amusement; instead, they took a short rest and then began to intensify their training.

Even Mo Fan has begun his seclusion.

Before going into seclusion, he asked Zhao Manyan to help him buy a lightning-type soul seed.

Jiang Yuan had reached the maximum level in all his cultivation categories, so he stopped cultivating.

However, after so much time, his spiritual power has reached the bottleneck of the eighth realm.

This is something that cannot be overcome through meditation practice alone; it requires a specific opportunity.

For example, powerful spiritual treasures.

For example, when one's mind is clear and focused, one might suddenly reach the eighth realm in an instant.

Or perhaps it's because a certain magic system breaks through to the super-level, which naturally propels mental power to the eighth realm.

So Jiang Yuan, having nothing else to do, rented a gondola to cruise around Venice and enjoy the city's water scenery.

"You're here to watch the battle of the Nationalist government, right?" asked the tamer on the gondola. "Yes," Jiang Yuan nodded.

"Then you'll be able to witness some truly spectacular magical battles! Recently, more and more teams from the National Government have been coming to our Water City, and the competition will begin soon!" the beast tamer said enthusiastically.

"Which National Team teams have arrived now?" Jiang Yuan asked casually.

"Oh, Japan and the United States."

As the animal trainer spoke, Jiang Yuan nodded from time to time.

A magnificent building flashed before my eyes, with lifelike golden lions with two wings, looking very solemn and dignified.

The Saint Mark's World Auction.

This place is so nice, we can't miss it.

"Please stop here for a moment."

"Of course, as you wish."

The trainer directed the gondola to dock at the shore: "I will wait here for your return."

Jiang Yuan stepped off the gondola and walked straight into the St. Mark's Auction House.

The inside is even more magnificent and imposing than the outside.

The waiter noticed that Jiang Yuan didn't come over proactively, but instead stood still with a welcoming gesture, which wasn't overly enthusiastic but still showed great respect.

Jiang Yuan walked towards the auction hall.

Holding a card with tens of billions in value, he easily entered the largest auction hall, where items were being auctioned.

"This is a complete set of monarch-level exotic bones, which can be used to upgrade summoned creatures or to refine vessels. Starting bid," the auctioneer introduced the item.

Jiang Yuan wasn't interested in this item; he'd see if there were any other items that piqued his interest later.

One by one, the items were brought out for auction.

The auction items are nothing more than utensils, materials, upgrade items, and elemental seeds. Occasionally, a few whelps will be put up for auction, and their prices are driven up to astronomical levels.

Jiang Yuan took a few more glances at the baby dragon and even made an offer, intending to buy it to play with.

But he wasn't very interested; he gave up as soon as someone else raised the price.

"Isn't the baby dragon on top cool?"

A beautiful and moving voice rang in Jiang Yuan's ears, and a graceful woman dressed in a light gauze dress and with her face covered by a veil sat down in the seat next to Jiang Yuan.

Her eyes were like shimmering autumn water, gentle yet alluring.

"Who are you?" Jiang Yuan felt a strange sense of familiarity, but he was certain he had never seen this woman before.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Asha'ruya, a candidate goddess of the Parthenon." Asha'ruya gracefully extended her right hand.

So it was this woman.

Jiang Yuan understood and extended his right hand in return: "Hello, nice to meet you. I am Jiang Yuan from China."

“I know you, the captain of the Huaxia National Team.” Asha Ruya smiled. “What you’ve been through recently has made me admire you for a long time. The Destroyer of the Red Ornament Guild, the hero of Puxini, a high-level mage with the power to defeat a monarch.”

"."

Jiang Yuan was speechless for a moment; what kind of prefixes and names were these?

It makes people feel ashamed to some extent.
"Since you know me, this isn't a chance encounter, is it?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Captain Jiang is indeed clever. Can we talk somewhere else?" Asha Ruya covered her mouth and chuckled.

"There's a lounge here, let's talk in the lounge."

Jiang Yuan got up and went to the lounge.

He was curious as to why Asha's Ruya had found him.
