Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 136, National Government Assembly

"Awesome!!!" Chen Hao excitedly clenched his fist, as if all the helplessness and frustration he felt in the ancient capital a while ago had been released at this moment.

This was the second time he had experienced this feeling of being weak and powerless, drifting along with the tide when disaster struck. He never wanted to experience it again!

Unlike Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou, who all felt the same way, their idea was to prevent the next disaster and avoid the emergence of a second Bo City.

It's the kind of thinking that comes from having been caught in the rain yourself, so you'd want to hold an umbrella for someone else.

Chen Hao, on the other hand, would only want to overturn the table or get as far away as possible if faced with such a disaster again. Saving the world was too exhausting for him. Bocheng was his hometown, so there was an exception, but he wouldn't risk his life for it.

"Finally, I've reached the Commander level. There are still about two months until the National Palace assembly. I'll try my best to improve the cultivation of the Space System and Little Flame Princess as soon as possible." Chen Hao stroked his chin and pondered.

In Shanghai, apart from Dean Xiao, few people paid attention to his trip to the ancient capital. One reason was that he was already independent, and even his father, Chen Hongsheng, didn't ask much about it; going out to hunt in the wild was just as dangerous in the past.

As for Dean Xiao, Chen Hao simply recounted the events, and regarding his decision to run away after becoming a demon, he only said that he had done his best, without going into details.

……

Nighttime, Chen Hao's room.

Bai Tingting, Tang Yue, and Ding Yumin gathered here. The three of them wore blindfolds, put their hands behind their backs, squatted, knelt, or lay down, and stood up straight, trying their best to show themselves. Their special outfits made people feel excited at first glance.

At this moment, they were unaware of each other's presence. Chen Hao used a little trick to make them completely fooled. With the help of earpieces that blocked their senses, he made them fantasize about a world with Chen Hao in the dark.

Having finally been promoted to the Commander level, of course we should celebrate. Besides, we've been holding back for a while now, so it's a good opportunity to let our beloved concubines experience the power of the Commander level.

As Chen Hao thrust forward, he couldn't help but look forward to the moment when their blindfolds would be removed; it would definitely be very interesting.

Tang Yue will probably find it hardest to accept, since she's the most unexpected person to have...

Opposite room.

Chen Hongsheng silently lit a cigarette and sighed.

"A son should be like Chen Ritian."

……

Cultivate skills, fire cannons, learn array patterns, sell magical artifacts, and hunt in the wild.

Days passed by, and the day of the Nationalist government assembly finally arrived.

Outside the Imperial Capital Domination Arena, flags fluttered in the wind. The red arena flags waved, and today the strongest students who emerged victorious from the National Government Selection Tournament would officially take their places!
Inside the hall, stone steps stretched out in a circle, and the central atrium was magnificent and solemn. High-ranking officials from the Imperial Academy and important figures from the Imperial Magic Association were all seated. Grand Master Feng Li personally presided over the departure ceremony for the National Academy team.

Standing at the very front of the main stage was naturally Captain Chen Hao, dressed in a dark blue robe, his face bearing a serious expression that seemed unbelievable to acquaintances.

Behind him on either side were vice-captain Ai Jiangtu, as well as Nan Jue, Jiang Yu, Jiang Shaoxu, Li Kaifeng, Guan Yu, Zu Jiming, Nan Rongni, and substitute members Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan.

Chen Hao wasn't surprised to see Zhao Manyan there, but he was slightly puzzled by Mo Fan's presence. The plot had been completely distorted, and he had ruined Mo Fan's chances; how could Mo Fan still be in the National Team?

Little did they know, it was precisely because of the Bloodstone he gave Mo Fan that he was once again targeted by the big shots. With the forbidden spell master's word, the people below would force Mo Fan into the National Team, even if it was just as a substitute.

However, before the team had finished their oath, a sudden gust of icy wind burst through the door of the fighting arena!

--boom! ! !

The entire entrance to the fighting arena instantly froze and crumbled, with ice shards flying like arrows across the entire arena!

The mentors frowned, their expressions instantly turning displeased.

"Who dares to be so bold?!"

The next instant, a silver-white figure slowly stepped out from the icy mist, his clothes fluttering, his aura as sharp as a drawn sword, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

"Mu Ningxue!" Mu Tingying exclaimed in surprise, her voice filled with astonishment and anger. "You've already been expelled, how dare you come here to cause trouble?"

"Xuexue?" Mo Fan, who had just arrived, was completely bewildered and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

The others, on the other hand, all wore expressions of anticipation, creating a subtle atmosphere at the gathering.

Upon seeing this, Songhe, the tutor from the National Academy, frowned slightly but still took the initiative to step forward.

“Ning Xue… I know this is unfair to you, but the crimes committed by the Black Vatican are too horrific. We removed you from the National Team to protect you.” Song He’s voice was low, tinged with helplessness. “After the catastrophe in the ancient capital, public resentment is boiling over; too many people died in that disaster. Their anger might be directed at you. If you were to make a high-profile appearance as a member of the National Team…”

Mu Ningxue looked at him silently, her eyes calm yet stubborn. The capture of Mu He, the Grand Steward of Hujin, nearly shattered her family—she herself was forcibly removed from the list, and her spot was transferred to Mu Tingying; her father Mu Zhuoyun's businesses were also completely liquidated overnight, falling from the pinnacle of power to the dust.

"I know my presence today will cause controversy," Mu Ningxue said in a cool and firm tone, "but I have only one purpose—"

She slowly raised her right hand, and a longbow, as if carved from heavenly ice, materialized in her palm, radiating a cold light!
"I hope this bow will make you re-evaluate me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bowstring of the Ice Crystal Blade resounded!
In an instant, an extremely cold force exploded like a raging torrent, sweeping across the entire arena, and the originally heated atmosphere instantly froze!

"I don't need to return to the regular team, I just want one chance, even if it's just a substitute position!"

Before she could finish speaking, a cold light had already materialized!
—Whoosh!

That arrow seemed to pierce the sky!
A blue arc of light ripped through the air, leaving a trail of shimmering light that stirred up a real ice and snow storm in mid-air, hurtling straight to the dome!
After making contact with the open dome at the top of the dome, the arrow turned and fell back, trailing thousands of snowflakes as it descended from the sky!

--boom! ! !

The arrow landed precisely on the dueling arena!
The next moment, the dueling platform, with the arrow at its core, erupted with chilling energy, instantly freezing the entire platform into a single, thick, giant ice crystal!
Even the surrounding magic arrays used to restrict energy creaked and groaned under the erosion of the frost, unable to withstand it.

The power of ice spread wildly, passing through the barrier and reaching the empty stands. In an instant, all the rows of blue stone seats were transformed into crystal-clear ice sculptures!

Half of the fighting arena was swallowed by frost.

Covered in ice crystals, shimmering with light, it was breathtakingly beautiful, yet utterly awe-inspiring!

Everyone stared blankly at the scene before them, and for a moment, there was complete silence.

This power undoubtedly surpasses that of most mid-level mages, and is even superior to some high-level mages.

—But Mu Ningxue's file clearly states: Intermediate level.

The gazes of many Nationalist government students changed, from disdain and curiosity to amazement and shock, and then to unease.

If she returns, whose position will be replaced?
Mu Tingying's face turned pale, her teeth clenched so tightly that she almost bit her lip raw. She had grown up in Mu Ningxue's shadow, and even after so many years of hard work, finally managing to squeeze into the National Team with the help of her family's resources, who knew that Mu Ningxue would return in such a way—like a princess returning on an icy crown!
Her gaze was fixed on Mu Ningxue, but inwardly she was screaming: Why! Why is it you again!

Just when everyone thought the mentors would be impressed by Mu Ningxue's strength, only Chen Hao shook his head. He didn't think much of Mu Ningxue. After all, unlike in the original story, there were already three high-level mages in the team this time, so Mu Ningxue's ice bow didn't seem so outstanding.

Secondly, this catastrophe in the ancient capital is not as devastating as in the original story. It is not only more tragic, but also lacks the savior status of Mo Fan. Even if Feng Li had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to vouch for Mu Ningxue. It could be a political stain that would follow him for life. Hei Jue Ting's identity file has been fully declassified, and the scope and depth of its implications far exceed imagination.

Mu He is the Grand Steward of Hujin.

Mu Ningxue is his niece.

No matter how innocent she may be, even if there is no concrete evidence in black and white, it is meaningless in the face of politics.

—As expected.

Just when many thought the mentors would waver, Feng Li, the mentor in charge of team selection, finally spoke up.

His voice carried an imposing authority without anger, and his words were like thunder cutting through frost:

"Nonsense!"

"Mu Ningxue, I'll repeat myself: you didn't pass the official recommendation vote review process. No matter how talented or wronged you think you are, you don't even qualify as a substitute!"

"Get out of here now, immediately!"

Feng Li slammed his palm down on the table in front of the instructors' seat, causing the frost that had not yet melted to shatter.

Mu Ningxue's expression changed drastically.

Her fingertips trembled slightly, and the bow dimmed little by little in the light, as if even the chill had fallen silent. She had been trying her best not to collapse, but Feng Li's words felt like a thousand pounds, causing her to collapse to the ground in an instant.

If it were because of Mu He, she would still have a chance to compete, but since Feng Li directly brought up the procedures, there was no chance. Her recommendation votes were all given by the Mu family, so they could naturally invalidate them.

"Snow Snow!"

Mo Fan's expression changed, and he quickly ran over to help her up.

Ouch, it's so cold!
Mo Fan gasped, feeling as if Mu Ningxue's body was a block of ice in his arms. It was the first time he had known that Mu Ningxue's ice bow had such a severe side effect.

"It seems she used an overpowered magical artifact, exhausting her soul's power. Let's take her to rest and recuperate." An old man appeared beside him, shook his head after assessing Mu Ningxue's condition.

"Sigh, it's just a recommendation vote. I'll give you mine, I won't participate." Mo Fan ran out with Mu Ningxue in his arms, muttering to himself.

Pang Lai, who was standing to the side, turned pale upon hearing this. How could the military commander have taken a liking to such a thing?

……

Clearly, Mo Fan's plan to slack off failed, and he eventually returned to the team. As for Mu Ningxue, she was expelled. However, according to Chen Hao's guidance to Mo Fan, she still has one last option: to stay and guard the club.

He could understand why Mu Ningxue insisted on joining the National Team. It wasn't because she coveted the National Team's resources; in fact, the National Team's resources were just so-so, and Chen Hao didn't even care about them.

Mu Ningxue's goal was actually to clear Mu He's name. Only by standing higher, making greater contributions, and gaining more recognition would people overlook the stain on Hei Jue Ting's family.

The drug dealer's niece is also a beneficiary of evil and is unforgivable.

Unless, she is a Nobel laureate, an Olympic gold medalist, or has achieved even greater honors.

……

Asuka City, a small fishing village.

Just like in the original story, after all the national team members' identification documents were frozen, the instructor simply abandoned them here.

"Damn it, how could this be! How are we supposed to go to Japan from this godforsaken place???" As expected, Mo Fan was the first to complain.

"Ha, mediocre people just love to complain." Jiang Shaoxu covered her mouth and chuckled.

"After all, he's a substitute, so his abilities are limited." Guan Yu, who had long disliked Mo Fan, seized the opportunity to mock him.

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's face darkened. Before he could react, another sarcastic voice rang out.

“Only five people will actually participate. It doesn’t matter if the other spots are given to these rich tycoons. Maybe one of the councilors will like this kind of thing… Hahahaha,” Zuji said sarcastically.

Mo Fan's face darkened further. If he could tolerate such aggression, he wouldn't be Mo Fan.

"Fierce Fist! Heaven-Shattering Strike!!!"

Without warning, Mo Fan punched Zu Jiming squarely in the buttocks. With a loud bang, the fiery fist exploded, sending Zu Jiming flying dozens of meters away, crashing heavily onto the distant beach.

“Ouch—!!”

Zujimin let out a wail, rolling on the ground in pain. His clothes on his back were completely burned away, and half of his charred body was exposed to the air, making him look just like Tom from Tom and Jerry.

"Damn it! What are you doing???" Upon seeing this, Guan Yu quickly unleashed a gust of wind to extinguish the flames on Zu Jiming's body, then turned and angrily rebuked Mo Fan.

"Son of a bitch!"

"I want you dead!!!!!"

Zu Jiming got up, his eyes bloodshot and red, clearly feeling worse than death for him after losing face.

Without saying a word, he immediately began constructing a star map of the poison system.

"Pfft!" Mo Fan scoffed. "What are you doing? Beating a dog?!"

Without any hesitation, the lightning star chart took shape in the blink of an eye, and clusters of thunderclouds instantly gathered above everyone's heads.

Are you kidding me? With Chen Hao as the team leader, why would he need to put up with this situation?

Just as the two were about to really start fighting, Ai Jiangtu and the others were about to step forward to stop them.

"Don't move! Let them fight!"

Just then, Chen Hao spoke up, his voice booming like thunder, instantly silencing everyone's movements.

Ai Jiangtu wanted to stop him, but subconsciously stopped in his tracks, gave him a complicated look, and ultimately remained silent.

"Fight! Anyone who wants to show off, anyone who wants to stand out, step forward and fight until you're satisfied! Fight until you're convinced! In the National Team, everything is based on cultivation and strength. Even if someone wants to challenge me as the captain, that's perfectly acceptable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked and looked at him as if he were a madman. Just how arrogant was this man?
The next moment, before everyone could recover from the shock, they heard a loud "boom"!
Zu Jiming and Mo Fan actually attacked at the same time!!
"Poisonous hole! Insect bite!"

"Thunder! Lightning strike!"

Two star charts unfolded beneath their feet. Zu Jiming used his most proficient poison technique, a truck-sized cloud of poisonous mist spewing out from the poison cave, teeming with venomous insects, and a gale swept towards Mo Fan.

Mo Fan acted even faster, a thundercloud suddenly exploded from above, accompanied by a deafening roar and blinding light. A bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket struck the swarm of insects directly, and the shockwave of the thunderstorm scattered and annihilated a large portion of the swarm.

The first lightning bolt seemed to have triggered some kind of switch, and a continuous stream of lightning descended from the sky like a waterfall!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!"

Within the thunderous diagram, Mo Fan remained unmoved, while the sky seemed enraged by him, with bolts of lightning roaring down and striking the swarm of poisonous mist insects!
That was a crushing defeat!
The once menacing, sky-covering poisonous fog and swarms of insects were torn apart, burned, and carbonized under the relentless barrage of lightning, with screams and the smell of burning rising up simultaneously!

"Ughh ...

Zu Jiming's expression changed drastically. As the poisonous insects were injured, he was also struck by the lightning. His whole body trembled violently, his skin turned black and numb, and his body swayed uncontrollably. Finally, he was thrown away by the electric wave like a kite with a broken string!

"boom--!"

He crashed heavily onto a reef, cracking the entire reef, and he himself coughed up blood repeatedly, looking extremely disheveled!
The whole place was silent!
