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

Chapter 140: Battle Against Egypt, On the Road to the Throne of Number One! [Please Read On!]

In short, the situation in this tournament is unprecedented. The Egyptian team, which had been relatively unknown in previous years, became a dark horse, while the Chinese team, which had been struggling, was now facing a much tougher challenge.
That's beyond being described as a dark horse; it's a true dark dragon! The top spot on the talent rankings belongs to Lü Ran; no one else even has the right to approach him.

Now, the battle continues, and the struggle between the various countries continues. They all pray that they don't encounter the Chinese team, because they have no chance of winning.

In this match, China drew the British team!
At this very moment, within the British camp...
The British mentors and students gathered here, looking at the opponent that Eileen had just drawn, and fell into deep thought!
Eileen has some ties to China, and this draw reminded them of the fear of being dominated in the treasure hunt!
They really didn't want to experience that feeling of being surrounded by dragons again, that struggle of being unable to live and unable to die!
So, Eileen made a decisive decision: "Let's just admit defeat. Let's save our energy and last trump card for the final. If we're lucky, we can at least secure second place."

"What, you want us to admit defeat?!" Zheluo reacted the most fiercely, but quickly deflated. He was proud and arrogant, but he was also genuinely humiliated.

“Otherwise?” Eileen said seriously, “Let’s face reality. I already said back in the treasure hunt that we shouldn’t go against the Chinese team. We’ve all learned our lesson from the end. Instead of wasting time challenging them, let’s compete for the runner-up position.”

"..." The other team members looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

It's worth noting that in the original story, this kind of strategic surrender was something that the Chinese team did. But the current situation is different. Who can make this black dragon from China surrender?
At this moment, the British team's coach spoke up, "Let's concede as Eileen said."

Any team with even a shred of self-awareness is preparing for second or third place. As for first? That's a pipe dream, an impossible dream.

The Chinese team is like a towering mountain; other teams can only look up at them in awe. As for chasing or defeating them? At least in this year's competition, the possibility is zero.

On the other side, teams from different countries were battling it out, while the Egyptian team, who had already won the match through the Sea of ​​the Dead, were currently in a small room.
Let's discuss countermeasures!

"The next battle is our fight against China. A victory there will secure our place in the final battle." Mios's eyes were cold, his tone icy. "This time, we will make Lü Ran pay the price, we will!!!"

“But we can’t underestimate them either,” Captain Nefru said. “The Pharaoh’s Spring we have is enough to last until the end of the tournament, but compared to the power of the dragons, we are still no match.”

"We have no choice but to take a gamble."

Mios said, "In any case, the champion of this competition will definitely belong to Egypt. Sooner or later we will have to face China. As long as we win this time, we will have nothing to worry about afterward."

"That's right, that Lü Ran is utterly shameless!" Said gritted his teeth in anger. It was that Easterner who plundered all the resources they had worked so hard to obtain!

This score must be settled no matter what, otherwise I won't be able to quell my anger!

"Then let's fight with all our might, for our honor, and for the great God of the Underworld!"

"Must win!!!"

Time flew by, and the day of the competition arrived. The second match of the finals, between the Chinese team and the Egyptian team, took place in an ancient arena set on an island.

Luxury cruise ships surrounded the area, carrying representatives from various factions. The competition was quite grand, with fireworks creating a beautiful scene.

At this very moment, in the ancient arena, both sides have sent out their representatives!
On the Chinese side: Lü Ran, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Nujiao.

On the Egyptian side: Nefrou, Sind, Mios, Said, and Shreve. Both sides took their positions, their gazes burning like fire; the powder keg hadn't been lit, but it was already raging.

The importance of this battle is being watched closely by all the top leaders of China. If they win this battle, the championship will be practically theirs.

Even if they end up with the worst result, they'll still be third, which is already the best result China has ever achieved. However, with Lü Ran around, their goal will only be first place!

"The match begins!" the referee shouted.

Immediately afterwards, something happened on the Egyptian side. First, Nefrou's eyes turned cold, he cut his thumb open, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Mios and the others followed suit and performed the ritual together. Suddenly, a vast aura of death, accompanied by a wailing sound, filled the surroundings.

"Awaken, brave warriors!"

They shouted, and one by one, red-glowing mummies were slowly appearing. Dozens of them were formed from a single drop of blood, and hundreds were formed in the blink of an eye!
The violent death aura swept across the area like a tidal wave, and crimson shadows burst forth from the ground, their hoarse howls echoing continuously, quickly taking over one side of the arena!
"Damn, the Egyptian team just used a formula; that's how the Greek team lost to them!"

"It's over. No, it can still be steamed! Our Lu Ran from China has a mutated light element!"

"Look, there's a thunderbolt!!!"

"Tyrant's Claw!"

Just then, a gigantic claw of azure lightning materialized in the sky!

Thunder roared and howled, creating an oppressive atmosphere as it slammed down from the sky, whipping up sharp whistling sounds and spreading an aura of destruction!

Seeing this, the Egyptian team panicked. They all knew that this was no ordinary claw strike; it possessed real high-level power!
And it's not even the highest level!
They quickly scattered in all directions to avoid the terrifying lightning attack!

Dude, why aren't you playing by the rules?

Shouldn't we be fighting the undead first?!
This Tyrant's Claw strike was incredibly powerful! Not only were hundreds of undead instantly killed, but even those wearing magical artifacts probably wouldn't dare to face it head-on!
"Damn it!!!" Mios roared in anger. Just as he was about to retrieve the Pharaoh's Spring, he discovered that Mo Fan was taking away this precious treasure!
Okay, okay, they're not even pretending right from the start!
"He's stealing the Pharaoh's Fountain?!" Said exclaimed.

They had calculated almost every possible outcome, but they never expected that someone would be able to take away the Pharaoh's Spring, something that even a high-level mage couldn't detect!
Lu Ran certainly had the ability to end the match with one blow, but he preferred to kill the opponent's spirit, giving the originally planned outcome a bit more despair!

He likes to cheat and disrupt the balance of the competition? Coincidentally, Lü Ran has never turned it off!
"continue!"

Sinde shouted loudly, "As long as we summon enough undead, we will definitely overwhelm them to some extent. The game cannot be stopped, and the losses cannot be maximized!"

Immediately afterwards, drops of blood appeared, and hundreds of crimson mummies emerged, even more than before. The Egyptian team was now prepared for a do-or-die battle!

At that very moment, the entire Chinese team burst into a powerful magical glow!
