Versatile Mage: Holy Spirit Puni, divine glory comes to the world!

Chapter 124 Su Lu's Heartbreaking Loss of the Black Dragon! China vs. Japan! [Please Read On!]

-

Lu Ran was somewhat surprised by the arrival of the archangel, since in previous major competitions, sending a holy figure to make an appearance was already the limit.

And now, the representative of the Holy City is an archangel!

Of course, only heaven and earth know, you and I know, no one knows that this representative is a highly respected archangel. He acts discreetly and silently watches over Lü Ran.

"Old Lu, what are you looking at?" Mo Fan came over and nudged him with his elbow. To be honest, he was really as calm as water in such a grand occasion!

Even Mo Fan couldn't help but feel excited after stepping onto this world stage. If he succeeded, he would become one of the world's top genius mages.

"Oh, I saw someone I had contact with, and I glanced at them a few more times," Lü Ran replied vaguely.

Someone you're in contact with?
Mo Fan's gaze unconsciously drifted to a man sitting in a seat, wearing a crimson-gold cloak, looking calm and composed, and faintly exuding a divine aura.

"People from the Holy City?" Mo Fan guessed to himself. "Holy crap, are they here to pick up Old Lü? That's so cool! Anyone sitting up there must be incredibly high-ranking!"

Then, Nan Jue walked over and said to Lü Ran, "We can start drawing lots now, Captain, you can go."

"Okay." Lü Ran nodded slightly, took a few steps, walked towards the stage, and randomly picked a lot.

Just rejoined the team~
The lottery results haven't been announced yet.
The Japanese team next to them suddenly blurted out a few words in gibberish, roughly meaning: Good! Lucky! So lucky!
Finally, they all turned their gazes toward China, and the result was obvious.

"We're playing Japan in the opening match?" Jiang Yu took the draw from Lü Ran, his expression relaxing slightly. It was the Japanese team, which made him feel much more at ease.

The Japanese team is in the middle to upper ranks among many countries, but they have absolutely no chance of winning against any country that is not a top power. That's their confidence.

"Hahaha, beat these little bastards to a pulp and let them know they don't deserve the Dark Lord's Cloak!" Zhao Manyan also started attacking from the side.

Still happy?

Still feeling fortunate?

Still celebrating?

They thought they had simply drawn a dark horse and could still fight against it, but little did they know that the game would start in hell!

-

On the Japanese side~
They were smug and self-satisfied.

As instructors, Fujikata Nobuko and Mochizuki Chika couldn't help but frown. Both of them had witnessed Lu Ran's strength, which was simply too strong and unsolvable.

Should we just forfeit this first game? It won't hurt much anyway; it just boosted the morale of the Chinese side, but it's better than losing in a humiliating way, right?

Mochizuki Chika relayed this idea.

Upon hearing this, team leader Shao Hegu's face darkened, and he decisively rejected the idea, "That won't do. We already made a strong statement at the opening ceremony. Wouldn't it be a loss of face to forfeit?"

No!

Absolutely not!

Ming Busong also spoke up, "Back then, it was the Huaxia team that secretly dealt with the Red Ornaments Guild, causing us to lose a batch of resources, and all the benefits went to them."

"If we give up in the first round, then it's really..." In terms of overall strength among major countries, China suppresses Japan, and the same applies to mages.

But they will fight!

"Sigh~" Mochizuki Chika was at her wit's end. She had already used all her silver tongue, but these people were just too hot-tempered and wouldn't shed a tear until they saw the coffin!
After persisting for quite a while~
Fujikata Nobuko sighed and conceded, "Since you're going to go, then go ahead! You'll get what's coming to you!"

-

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Asian Magic Association.

In the highest conference room, standing in front of the large glass window, a middle-aged man gazed into the distance, looking uneasy, as if something major had gone wrong.

Then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. A super-ranked person wearing an association uniform and exuding a powerful aura entered the conference room and closed the door.

"How is the situation?" asked Su Lu, the president of the Asian Magic Association.

The super-ranked warrior's face was grim. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "The black dragon is gone!"

Upon hearing this, a terrifying aura of the forbidden spell instantly filled the area, making it suffocating!
Su Lu's face began to contort. It seemed that a meticulously planned scheme had vanished before it could even be implemented. How could she not be furious?!
Immediately afterwards, the super-ranked individual reported the situation: "In the Tyrant Mountain Range, there are no survivors, only Lei and a pile of ruins remain."

"At the bottom of the cliff, it's riddled with holes, huge craters, probably made by the black dragon. As for the black dragon's whereabouts, that's unknown!"

All of this sounds so unbelievable!

The Tyrant Mountains, which everyone avoids and regards as a forbidden zone, were actually entered by someone who swaggered in and even beat him to it, taking away or contracting the Black Dragon.

Who has this ability?

A thought flashed through Su Lu's mind, and she gritted her teeth, "It must be the angels! It must be them! In order to prevent this, in order to maintain their dictatorship, have they already taken action against the Black Dragon first?!"

Not really!

At the very beginning, Su Lu's goal was to enslave the Black Dragon Emperor to deal with the Holy City Angels, but in the end, his understanding was still insufficient!

If he saw the later stages, where Michael could take down an emperor with a single punch, what would Su Lu think?
"Damn it!" Su Lu roared in fury, letting out a cold snort. "Forget it, no need to be fixated on the Black Dragon Emperor. Since he's gone, let's find another way. Angels always have their nemesis."

He paused, his voice barely audible, and said the last few words, "If all else fails, then go to that esteemed person; even a loan is a form of power."

Immediately afterwards~
Su Lu spoke again, "Now that the Black Dragon is gone, let's temporarily halt the matter of the baby's heart." It was originally opened for the Black Dragon, so it should be closed now.

"Yes!" The super-ranked individual nodded heavily, finally relieved. This matter was inherently inhumane, and it was good that it had stopped now.
-

Time flies.

The opening ceremony has passed, and the competition is about to begin.

The huge arena was already packed with people; it was time for the match between China and Japan.

The experienced mages have begun setting up the battleground, and the scene is very grand.

Only the World University Competition could have secured such a large piece of land from Venice.

After a while~
The setup is complete.

Both sides arrange their lineups!

As the team leader, Lü Ran wielded even more power than the mentors to some extent. Therefore, no one present objected to him choosing the battle content.

"For the first match, let's have Mu Ningxue, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Shaoxu, and Jiang Yu take the field." The selection isn't important; as long as one of us holds the line, the scales of victory will be tipped.
It will naturally tilt!

P.S.: Sorry everyone, I've been busy with a lot of things, so it's been delayed until now. There will be another update later!
