Versatile Mage: Choose one of three Hexes at the start

Chapter 146 What are you smiling at?
As the undead army retreated, reinforcements from other cities gradually arrived.

In the first few days, due to uncertainty about whether the undead army would return and the continuous rain, the reconstruction of the outer city was not progressing very quickly. The work simply involved building some makeshift shelters within a three-kilometer radius outside the inner city to house residents who originally lived in the outer city but whose homes had been destroyed.

A week after the undead had receded, and still no uprising by them outside the city, the reconstruction work in the outer city area was accelerated.

Over the past few days, Su Chi has been introduced to many high-ranking officials in the ancient capital by Han Ji.

In addition, after consulting with Su Chi, the ancient capital authorities announced the contributions that Su Chi and his group had made to the ancient capital.

Originally, Han Ji wanted to cast a few votes for Su Chi from the National Team in the ancient capital, but after learning that Su Chi was already a shoo-in for the National Team, he took him directly to the place where the Clock Tower Magic Association stored resources and let him choose a few magical resources as a token of his gratitude.

Since Su Chi no longer needed the National Government's votes, Han Ji decided to cast several votes for Mo Fan.

After all, as one of the few who returned alive from the Abyss of Fiends, Mo Fan can also be considered a savior of the ancient capital's crisis.

As for Zhang Xiaohou, Wei Fang would certainly not treat him unfairly.

Several months have passed.

During this period, the reconstruction of the ancient capital was almost completed.

With the tacit cooperation of all parties, a large number of earth-element mages worked from dawn till dusk, and a huge number of construction machines worked day and night, so the reconstruction of the ancient capital was not as slow as expected.

Although the area to be rebuilt is very large, the progress is quite fast.

Su Chi did not pay excessive attention to the situation in the ancient capital.

For the past few months, he has stayed at home every day, except for cultivating and occasionally going out to accompany Lingling for a stroll.

He spends the rest of his time at home with his girlfriend.

It's worth mentioning that Su Chi became even more famous after the Ancient Capital Undead Crisis.

With the personal endorsement of Han Ji, the president of the Ancient Capital Bell Tower Buddhist Association, Su Chi has become the savior of the ancient capital.

But that was indeed the case, after all, he personally issued the order for the undead army to retreat.

However, he did not come away empty-handed during these months. The space-type nebula that had troubled him for many days finally transformed into a galaxy during this period. As a result, all of his magic systems entered the advanced stage of cultivation.

Imperial Capital Academy.

Located in the heart of the university, a large arena capable of holding 50,000 people was normally closed to the public, but at this moment, the arena was packed to capacity.

The attention of tens of thousands of magic students from all sides was now focused on the ten students in the center of the arena.

They were all ten official members of the National Government Team, selected through rounds of competition.

As expected, Ai Jiangtu was chosen as the captain of the National Government team.

"You are all outstanding young mages selected through rigorous processes. Next, you will represent the country to compete with outstanding young mages from other countries. Originally, we should have given you a very grand send-off ceremony, but I think it would be better to hold the ceremony when you return victorious, because at that time you will be the pride of the entire country," said Song He, Dean of the Imperial Capital Academy.

As the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, Songhe's status naturally qualified him to serve as one of the mentors for the National Team.

The National Government team has five mentors, all of whom are high-ranking and powerful individuals.

After all, although the World University Competition is a contest among the younger generation, each country invests enormous resources in it, and the overall ranking of the World University Competition also involves the allocation of important national resources.

That's why the World University Competition is so highly valued by powerful families and influential groups in China—it's no joke!

After Songhe finished speaking, Su Chi and his group walked off the dueling arena.

It didn't take long.

Su Chi then saw Mu Ningxue, dressed in white, walking towards the direction of the instructors.

Here comes the iconic scene!!

Sure enough, upon seeing Mu Ningxue appear, Mu Tingying, the one among the ten official members with brown hair, immediately spoke up sarcastically, "Mu Ningxue, did you come to the wrong place?"

Originally, Mu Tingying was supposed to be Mu Ningxue's replacement, but after the incident with Mu He, the Mu family decisively severed ties with Mu Zhuoyun's family.

Furthermore, the official membership status that originally belonged to Mu Ningxue was changed to Mu Tingying.

"I know that you have many misunderstandings about me for various reasons. I hope that my bow can dispel your prejudices against me." Mu Ningxue ignored Mu Tingying and walked up to the five instructors of the National Team, speaking earnestly.

“Prejudice? Ning Xue, I know this is very unfair to you, but the crimes committed by the Black Vatican in the ancient capital are simply too heinous.”

As an outstanding student of the Imperial Academy, Mu Ningxue's strength was well understood by Song He, who also knew that Mu Ningxue was very suitable to join the National Team.

However, the number of people who died in the catastrophe in the ancient capital was far too great, and the resentment in the entire ancient capital was far too deep!

Although Hu Jin, the Grand Steward, has been executed as Mu Ningxue's uncle, Mu Ningxue is still his family, and he is inevitably affected by the overwhelming resentment.

Upon hearing Song He's words, Mu Ningxue gritted her teeth and then turned to look in the direction of the arena.

The next moment, the Ice Crystal Fiend Bow appeared in her hand.

As an unexpected icy wind blew, her silver hair fluttered in the wind, and her ice-blue skirt also billowed up.

Mu Ningxue slowly drew back the Ice Crystal Bow, and an ice-blue arrow materialized from it.

next second.

The ice crystal arrow shot out with a whoosh, instantly stirring up a large blizzard.

Endless chill spread towards the arena, and before long, half of the arena was covered in ice and snow.

After finishing all this, Mu Ningxue let out a deep breath, then gazed at the mentors beside her and said, "I want to participate in the Academy Competition, even if it's as a substitute."

Mu Ningxue's words brought the mentors back from their frozen state, and they looked at the girl in front of them with complicated expressions.

It has to be said that the strength Mu Ningxue displayed at this moment completely touched their hearts.

After the mentors exchanged glances, the lead mentor, Tiger Stripe, finally spoke.

"Your abilities have truly impressed us. I will submit an application to your superiors to allow you to train with the team for this year."

the other side.

Mo Fan, one of the ten, patted Su Chi beside him excitedly.

Mo Fan successfully entered the realm of a high-level mage by absorbing the energy of the Lotus of Immortality in the Abyss of Evil. With the help of several votes cast by Han Ji, Mo Fan was able to gain the opportunity to compete for a formal membership.

And thanks to his own strength, he was successfully selected as a formal member of the National Team.

a few days later.

All ten official members, along with several substitutes, arrived at the designated meeting point. Zhao Manyan, a substitute who hadn't shown up before, immediately approached Su Chi and Mo Fan.

"Not bad, Lao Zhao, you really got the substitute spot." Mo Fan patted Zhao Manyan on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Tch, it's just because their clans have a lot of money. I wonder how much money they spent to get this substitute spot." A sour voice came from the crowd.

Hearing this, Mo Fan was immediately annoyed. After all, he genuinely considered Lao Zhao a friend and had only been joking. He hadn't expected someone to be so blind as to mock him.

Before Mo Fan could say anything, Jiang Shaoxu, a beautiful woman with a beauty mark near her mouth, casually said, "What's the big deal? A team with so many people, including the substitutes, only a few actually get to fight in the end. It's no big deal to sell the remaining spots to some rich people; it even increases our benefits for the year."

"Hahaha, and this pretty boy is so handsome, he might just be to the liking of the elected councilors." As soon as Jiang Shaoxu finished speaking, another burly man, two meters tall and covered in explosive muscles, laughed.

Zhao Manyan did not refute what the three people said.

His inclusion in the reserve list was indeed the result of the Zhao Group behind him spending a lot of money to pave the way.

Su Chi and Mo Fan already knew about this.

Zhao Manyan did not participate in the initial nomination competition for Mingzhu Academy.

He had said during a previous dinner with a few friends that he would not compete with other universities for a place.

"Old Zhao, it seems like you're not very popular," Su Chi said with a smile.

"There's nothing you can do about it; if someone is handsome and rich, they're bound to attract jealousy."

Zhao Manyan waved his hand dismissively, then flattered Su Chi, saying, "The main reason is that I don't have your formidable strength, Great Demon King, otherwise they wouldn't dare to mess with me like this."

Soon after.

Several mentors came to the scene together.

"Very good, everyone is here. It seems you all take this competition very seriously. Now, I'll just give you a final reminder."

Tiger-striped Instructor Feng Li scanned the crowd, then nodded silently and said, "This inter-nation training is not only to increase your practical experience and magical knowledge, but more importantly, you need to obtain a ticket to the Venice Water City National Palace Competition. Not every participating team can appear on the Venice Water City stage."

More than ten minutes later, after Su Chi and the others had all remembered the instructions, Feng Li stopped his incessant chatter.

"Now, I declare the training officially begins!!"

A few hours later.

Su Chi and his group appeared beside a rocky beach.

Not far away, you can see a small fishing village nestled there.

However, before Su Chi could continue to appreciate the surrounding scenery, Mo Fan beside her suddenly erupted.

"Fuck."

"Mo Fan, calm down!!"

Zhao Manyan put his arm around Mo Fan's shoulder, because Mo Fan's current crazy behavior was really embarrassing to watch.

"They promised all-inclusive meals, accommodation, overseas travel, and dating, but not only did they not provide a private jet, they even froze my bank account and won't let us board a plane!! Are they expecting us to swim all the way to Japan??"

Mo Fan felt deceived. He had thought that everyone would be flying across the ocean on a private jet, singing and dancing. He never expected that Feng Li and the others would just dump them in a dilapidated fishing village.

Do you mean they want them to take a wooden boat and row there themselves?
"Alright, stop wailing and howling."

Su Chi couldn't help but stop Mo Fan's howling, because it was indeed a bit noisy.

"Let's first determine our current location, and then we'll think of a way to get to Japan smoothly."

“Our great hero has ideas, unlike some mediocre people who only complain when they encounter problems.” Jiang Shaoxu smiled from the side.

That's just how this girl is; she always likes to quip and argue.

"There's a fishing village over there. Let's go ask the villagers for directions first, and then we can discuss the next steps."

As the team leader, Ai Jiangtu spoke, and the others stopped talking and headed towards the small village.

There was nothing they could do; they had all been tricked by Feng Li and his five mentors.

Because no one knew in advance that Feng Li would directly dump them on such a deserted beach, and that he would confiscate all their identification documents, mobile phones, and other items beforehand.

In addition, Feng Li had already indicated that the training had begun before leaving, and since they had no identity verification, they were essentially unregistered at this point.

If they are investigated by the security guards because of this issue, it means that their training has failed, and the people from the National Pavilion will take their place to continue the training.

This was an unacceptable outcome for most of the team members.

They were not far from the village, and soon the group crossed the low fence and entered the dilapidated little fishing village.

"who are you!!"

Not long after entering the village, a dark-skinned old man rushed out with a weapon in his hand.

"Uncle, we came here for tourism, but we got lost. I'd like to ask where this is and if there are any ports or anything like that around here?" Nan Yu realized something was wrong and quickly explained.

"Tourists?"

The old man glanced at the group with a puzzled look, then nodded slightly and said, "So that's how it is. This area belongs to Asuka City. If you walk along the coastline for a few dozen kilometers, you'll reach the port of Asuka City."

"Asuka City!!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan exclaimed excitedly.

"Haha, great! So this is Asuka City. Looks like we won't have to row there by wooden boat anymore!!"

Mo Fan was unaware of this place at first, but a few months ago, Su Chi invited him, Xin Xia, Zhang Xiaohou, and He Yu to a dinner party in Feibiao City. Only then did he learn that his good brother had bought a large area of ​​land in Feibiao City several years ago and had already established a power base.

In addition, if he remembered correctly, the large port in Asuka City was his good brother's property.

Then my dream of riding a luxury cruise ship, singing and dancing will come true!

"Do you have connections in Asuka City? Could you help us arrange a boat?"

"No, no, no, I don't know anyone in Asuka City."

"Then what are you grinning about?"

"Although I don't know anyone here, Asuka City is Ike's stronghold!!"
