Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 169 The Tournament Begins!!!
After leaving the St. Mark's World auction house, Jiang Yuan once again boarded a gondola.

My eyes were on the scenery around me, but my mind was filled with thoughts of the Black Dragon Emperor.

A peak-level dragon with the power to breathe dragon breath still possesses considerable strength. When fighting Khufu, it can lead the Eight Kings of the Underworld to attack the other pyramids.

Once the war with the National Government is over, we can go and subdue the Black Dragon Emperor.

At this moment, that bastard Su Lu hasn't made a move against the Black Dragon Emperor yet, so there's plenty of time.

However, that Tyrant's Desolate Lightning could be used to tempt Mo Fan.

...............

Half a day later, Jiang Yuan returned to his hotel before dinner.

"Old Jiang, you're really taking it easy. Did you meet any beautiful girls in Venice when you went out?" Mo Fan asked, winking at him, in the restaurant.

“I’ve met them, I’ve met hundreds,” Jiang Yuan said casually.

Suddenly, a gaze fell upon him.

It is Mu Nujiao.

"No way, so many? Hurry up and introduce them to me, to Old Zhao!" Mo Fan said.

"You believe whatever I say, right?" Jiang Yuan said irritably.

"Of course, don't you know how much I trust you?"

Mo Fan feigned deep sorrow, his eyes secretly glancing at Mu Ningxue.

At this moment, Mu Ningxue had an icy expression and seemed to be in a bad mood. It was unclear what had happened during the day.

"Xuexue, what's wrong, Xuexue?" Mo Fanfei rushed over.

Mu Ningxue pushed her away and said coldly, "We're not that close."

"How could that be? We were fine yesterday, weren't we?" Mo Fan continued to shamelessly stick close to her.

Mu Ningxue kept avoiding Mo Fan, but she didn't show any impatience. On the contrary, the frost on her face melted a lot.

……

After dinner, Mo Fan found Jiang Yuan.

"Old Jiang, I need to discuss something with you."

"what's up?"

"I want to buy a lightning-type soul seed with a domain, but I'm a bit short on cash. Can you lend me a billion or so? I'll pay you back later," Mo Fan said, raising his eyebrows and trying to ingratiate himself.

He looks rather sleazy.

“I remember you owed me something before,” Jiang Yuan said, sitting on the sofa.

"Hey, that little bit of money is nothing. Just lend me a billion or so, and I'll pay you back all at once after I kill a few monarch-level demons." Mo Fan promised.

"No, I won't lend it to you." Jiang Yuan refused cleanly and decisively.

"Old Jiang, I know you have money, just lend me some. I'll do anything for you, I'm begging you!" Mo Fan quickly started to play the victim when he saw that Jiang Yuan disagreed.

"Call me godfather, and I'll give you a big treasure," Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"?"

"Trying to take advantage of me, huh? Old Jiang, you've really disappointed me. I'm not lending you the money!"

Mo Fan spoke with great enthusiasm, and Jiang Yuan took out a black box. As soon as he took it out, lightning flashed on several corners of the box.

"Oh? What is this, Godfather?"

"Didn't you say I disappointed you?" Jiang Yuan slowly opened the box, and violent lightning burst forth instantly, but he confined all the electric snakes to a very small area.

"No way, Godfather, what are you saying! Tell me quickly what this treasure is, I feel like it's a seed of lightning element!" Mo Fan's mouth was practically watering.

"It seems so. It's a top-tier, domain-level, soul-seed-level item with a six-fold power boost."

"Holy crap! Godfather, you really are my godfather! This must have been prepared for me, right? I fucking love you to death!!" Mo Fan practically lunged forward. Jiang Yuan opened the box completely, and the unruly Tyrant Desolate Thunder broke free of its restraints, unleashing its lightning wildly throughout the room.

Jiang Yuan used spatial power to isolate the room to prevent it from becoming messy.

The moment Tyrant Thunder appeared, Mo Fan couldn't wait to have a close encounter with it.

After a while, Mo Fan completely subdued Tyrant Desolate Thunder.

Jiang Yuan then handed a promissory note to Mo Fan.

The above shows the outstanding debt of one billion, and Mo Fan's name is just missing.

“I know what you’re going to say, but don’t say it yet. Even brothers need to be clear about accounts. This 1 billion is already a huge discount for you. A soul seed of this level would sell for over 1 billion at auction,” Jiang Yuan said preemptively.

"What brother? You're my godfather!" Mo Fan calmly shoved the IOU into his pocket.

As a result, Jiang Yuan took out another stack.

Hey kid, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Even though a billion is a small amount of money, we can't just give it away for nothing.

"Fine, fine, I'll sign it." Mo Fan knew he couldn't escape it, so he signed his name.

At such a young age, he already has a fortune of over a billion yuan, which shows he has a very promising future.

However, Mo Fan was still very excited to obtain the Tyrant Thunder. Without saying a word, he dragged Jiang Yuan to the Venice River training ground to rent a venue to test the power of the Tyrant Thunder.

I couldn't be more satisfied with the various data that came out of the test.

...............

...............

As time went by, people from all walks of life arrived in Venice one after another, and the government delegation also arrived.

Everywhere is starting to get crowded.

Venice has limited capacity to accommodate tourists, and restrictions have been placed on entry to the city to prevent incidents.

However, as the date of the World University Competition draws closer, more and more people are arriving.

Thirty-two flags were raised high in front of the Doge's Palace in Venice, representing the nations that had qualified for the final battle for dominance.

The order in which the flags are displayed also indicates the ranking of the various national teams' achievements during their training.

The Chinese flag naturally comes first.

However, the strength of the national governments that can enter the final battle is not to be underestimated; each of them can be considered a world-class magical power.

As thirty-two flags fluttered in the wind and a magnificent cannon salute resounded over Venice.

The final stage of the World University Competition, the battle for the title of "Venice City of the Seas," has officially begun!

As the sun rose in the east, the sunlight shone brilliantly under the magical cannons, illuminating the vibrant faces of the soldiers from various countries.

All eyes were on them; after the competition, they would all have a bright future!

"First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the Temple of Liberty, the Dubai Tower, St. Paul's Church, the Cape of Good Hope Magic Castle, the Parthenon, St. Peter's Basilica in the Forbidden City, the Hunter's Alliance, and everyone who has come."

Doge Fabio of Venice, in a high-spirited and excited tone, thanked the world-renowned magical organizations and all those who had come to participate in the competition.

Those who can sit here are all renowned high-ranking monks, and the place they represent represents a sacred place that monks yearn for.

The opening ceremony ended quickly.

The next step is the tense and exciting lottery process.

As the captain of the Huaxia National Team, Jiang Yuan walked to the draw box.

The footage was broadcast live all over the world.

"That's Jiang Yuan, the captain of the Chinese National Guard!"
