Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 238 The finals of the university competition were brought forward, gathering in Venice.
From that moment on, there was only one will and one voice in the Atlantic!
And the giant rose that stands quietly in the center of the starry sea is the emblem and symbol of this empire!

Then she slowly lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the edge of the ravaged battlefield below—there, suspended, was her "subject," the newly crowned Emperor of the Spirit Sea Rose, who had just fought a bloody battle.

Crimson "blood" gushed from the numerous cracks, its breath extremely faint, like a candle flickering in the wind.

Its flower body slightly unfolded, and one "petal" gently peeked downwards.

This petal is not a physical object, but a flowing torrent of energy radiating a vibrant, life-giving green light!
The miracle happened!
The emerald green starlight surged wildly into the cracks in the opponent's mangled body.

The shattered ruby ​​crystals were given a new life under the influence of starlight.

The dimness at the core of the flower was rekindled, quickly becoming bright and stable!
In just a short while, the injuries of the Spirit Sea Rose Emperor, which was on the verge of complete extinction, were stabilized and began to recover at an abnormal speed.

After experiencing the aftershocks of that imperial war, the magical flying vehicles of the Chinese National Government Team finally broke out of that airspace in a disheveled and shaken state, and returned to a relatively stable flight state.

Inside the cabin, there was a deathly silence.

Everyone was pale, panting heavily, and their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.

Some people stared blankly, muttering unconsciously, "Holy shit... holy shit..."

Some people were pale and their bodies were still trembling slightly.

Mu Ningxue also pressed her pale lips together, her icy blue eyes filled with shock.

"An Emperor... level... siren?" Ai Jiangtu's dry, hoarse voice broke the deathly silence in the cabin, carrying a sense of exhaustion from surviving a catastrophe and a deep awe.
"Is this... the true form of demons?" For the first time, he realized with such clarity that beyond the forbidden spells that human mages were so proud of, there existed such terrifying and transcendent power.

High-level? In the face of such an existence, they are not even ants!

No one answered him.

Everyone was immersed in the scenes of the earth-shattering battle.

The floating starry sea, the emperors fighting... all of this was etched into their young hearts.

This has brought about a radical change in their understanding of power and the world.

The aircraft finally crossed the last leg of its Atlantic journey and slowly landed at the International Magic Airport in Lisbon, Portugal.

Stepping onto solid ground and basking in the warm sunshine of the Iberian Peninsula, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

According to the original plan, they should take a short rest, adjust their condition, and then head to the Portuguese pavilion to take on the challenge.

However, just as they stepped out of the airport terminal, before they even had a chance to experience the exotic charm of this seaside city—

drop!drop!drop!
The magical communicator on Ai Jiangtu's wrist suddenly emitted a rapid and sharp beep!

Ai Jiangtu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately answered the call. It was his mentor, Feng Li.

"Ai Jiangtu!" Feng Li's voice, transmitted through magic, carried an undeniable urgency. "Breaking order! The World University Tournament finals date... has been moved up! All national university training camps are terminated immediately!"

"in advance?!"

"How far in advance?"

“There’s no buffer period!” Feng Li’s tone was resolute. “You don’t need to stay in Portugal anymore, and you don’t need to challenge the national pavilion! Immediately! Right now! Head to the final venue of the competition—Venice—as fast as possible! The final stage will begin there!”

"Go straight to the finals?" Ai Jiangtu was stunned; this news came too suddenly!

According to the original schedule, they still have several national pavilions to challenge, giving them ample time to adjust and prepare.

"Yes! Straight to the finals!"

"The situation has changed! The demonic unrest around the world has escalated dramatically recently, with massive beast tides breaking out in multiple locations, and there have even been signs of activities resembling those of Emperor-level demons! After comprehensive assessment, the leadership of the Academy Alliance believes that the situation is serious and the competition must be ended as soon as possible."

"Let the elite forces of all participating countries return home as soon as possible to provide support! This is the highest decision, and there is no room for doubt!" His sharp gaze swept through the light and shadow, passing over the team members behind Ai Jiangtu.

"Time waits for no one! Ai Jiangtu, you're in charge of leading the team to Venice as quickly as possible! The competition organizing committee will meet you in Venice! Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Ai Jiangtu's heart sank.

The news of the escalating demonic unrest instantly reminded him of the terrifying war of emperors in the Atlantic.

He dared not delay and immediately replied in a deep voice, "I guarantee to complete the mission!"

Communication ends.

The magical light and shadow dissipated.

Ai Jiangtu turned around abruptly, took a deep breath, and then issued the order.

"Attention everyone! Plans changed! Instructor Feng Li has ordered: the Portugal Pavilion Challenge is cancelled! The training is ending early! We... have no time to rest!"

"Destination changed—the finals of the World University Competition, Venice! Let's go immediately!"

"Now?!"

"Going straight to the finals?!"

"Then let's do it now!" Mu Ningxue's eyes burned with fighting spirit, but also with a hint of solemnity regarding the unknown situation.

"Let's go!" Mu Nujiao, Qin Xiaonan, Lan Xi and the others followed without hesitation.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Chinese National Government team, having just stepped out of the airport, didn't even have time to glance at the streets of Lisbon before turning back to the magical flying vehicle that had just come to a stop!

The engine roared, and the hatch closed.

The aircraft soared into the sky once more, transforming into a silver streak of light, and sped off towards the northeast—the water city of Venice!
Outside the porthole, the scenery of the European continent rushed past.

The team members sat silently inside the cabin, making the most of every minute to adjust their state.

The ultimate showdown in Venice is coming.

The road ahead is uncertain, so we must give it our all!
Venice, the world-renowned water jewel known for its intricate network of canals, countless bridges, and the fusion of magic and art, finally came into their view.

The ancient clock tower stands tall in the morning light, and the winding Grand Canal reflects a golden glow.

When Qin Xiaonan arrived, he wasn't in a rush, but he noticed that Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao were both quite nervous.

He approached Mu Nujiao discreetly, his warm palm naturally covering the back of her cool hand.

"Relax,"

"Your abilities are not a problem. Besides, I'm here for you."

Mu Nujiao looked up and met his calm gaze, the power within which seemed to dispel some of the gloom.

She nodded slightly and responded softly, "Mm."

Immediately, Qin Xiaonan took her hand and they joined the surging crowd.

Lu Yilin pointed in the direction Qin Xiaonan left and said, "Look, it's almost the finals, and they still have no manners."

No one paid any attention to Lu Yilin, which made him extremely embarrassed.
