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

Chapter 80, Crushing the Capital

The match started quickly, and Mo Fan was brought on as a last-minute substitute, which immediately relieved Zhao Manyan and Song Xia, who had been somewhat nervous. Who wouldn't want an extra core player on their team?

Shen Mingxiao was the only one who looked embarrassed, caught in the middle.

On the other hand, the Imperial Academy sent Xu Dalong, Liao Mingxuan, Jingjing, and Zhao Mingyue, all renowned elites of the capital, whose strength should not be underestimated.

The moment the battle began, the opponent launched their attack as if it were a pre-planned tactic—ground wave interference!
Dense earth elemental flows surged through the area like veins, causing the ground to tremble and shift, enough to disrupt most mages' star chart construction.

However, the members of the Pearl Team were all experienced players who had already anticipated the opponent's starting tactics. They activated movement skills such as Wind Track and Shadow Escape a second before the ground wave was released, quickly spreading out their positions and remaining completely unaffected by the ground wave.

"Don't think we're easy to mess with." Song Xia snorted coldly, stomped her foot, and fire elements quickly spun around in the star map, the flames already taking shape.

However, it was Jingjing from the Imperial Capital Academy who was the first to complete the construction of the intermediate-level star map.

She was a rare mid-level plant-based mage with an extremely high level of spell completion. A beam of emerald starlight appeared in the air, and then a large number of vines broke through the ground, instantly weaving a Kun Forest prison that precisely trapped Song Xia and Zhao Manyan.

The vine cage was incredibly sturdy, tightening as if it were alive, and ordinary low-level magic could not destroy it.

However, Song Xia, who specializes in fire magic, reacted extremely quickly. The Fiery Star Diagram in her hand had already been completed, and a fiery fist burst forth, burning the vines that were wrapping around her, creating a gap in the vines.

As soon as she leaped out of the cage, Zhao Mingyue's fire magic was already ready.

A powerful punch, enhanced by the spirit seed, slammed down like a volcanic eruption, accompanied by intense heat that distorted the air.

At the critical moment, Zhao Manyan stepped forward, and the Holy Shield of Light descended from the sky, its holy golden light transforming into an indestructible barrier that protected Song Xia and him within it.

With a deafening roar, flames erupted, the Holy Shield trembled, and ultimately managed to block the fatal blow.

"So, am I reliable?" Zhao Manyan grinned at Song Xia.

He was met with a look of disdain and contempt.

He didn't pay attention, gathering water in his hand, ready to support his teammates at any time.

On the other side, Shen Mingxiao and Liao Mingxuan were already locked in a fierce battle.

Both were mid-level wind-elemental cultivators, their movements swift and unpredictable, like two azure-blue afterimages chasing and dodging across the arena. Wind blades shot out, vortexes exploded, and the two were evenly matched, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Mo Fan's performance was still the most eye-catching.

Using Shadow Cloak for stealth and surprise attack, he silently traversed the battlefield, appearing instantly behind Xu Dalong. Just as Xu Dalong was about to cast a Rock Barrier to defend himself, Mo Fan's fire magic was already complete—

"Rose Flame - Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering!"

The fiery fist, empowered by the spirit seed, was accompanied by a scorching light of rose flames, and it struck down like a meteorite!
"Bang!!"

Yan Zhang, along with Xu Dalong himself, was blasted dozens of meters away, rolling several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop with difficulty, spitting out a mouthful of scorched blood.

"What the hell... what kind of power is this?" Xu Dalong's face turned pale. He was about to get up when another figure darted out from the shadows, and the world in front of him was filled with lightning.

"Thunder Seal! Rage Strike!"

"First one, lie down."

boom!
Clean and efficient, without any suspense.

The audience erupted in an uproar. Just moments before, they had been discussing how long it would take for Mingzhu to lose, but now they were all silenced.

In less than thirty seconds, Xu Dalong was defeated on the spot, without even having a chance to unleash a complete spell.

Mo Fan's three elements were perfectly combined, and he didn't even need to use summoned beasts. With his continuous attacks, the opponent's formation was completely torn apart.

It is worth mentioning that, due to Chen Hao's influence, his innate dual-element talent had long been exposed, and everyone knew that he could awaken two elements at once.

“Next,” Mo Fan said softly, his gaze fixed on Zhao Mingyue. Zhao Manyan shouted, “Brother, let me have this beauty! I want to experience a proper fight!”

"You're too late." Mo Fan smiled faintly, took a step, and the shadow moved again, his whole body sliding into the battle circle like a ghost.

The remaining three tried to band together to fight back, but they couldn't keep up with Mo Fan's pace at all.

As the shadows shifted, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck, knocking Liao Mingxuan back. Immediately following was a fierce punch to the heart. Before Zhao Mingyue could even finish chanting the complete star chart, she lost her fighting ability in the impact of the flames.

Jingjing held out a little longer, but only for five more seconds under Mo Fan's shadow attack.

The battle is completely over.

Zhao Manyan stood on the winning side, arms crossed, looking at his spotless clothes with a speechless expression: "Am I just here to make up the numbers?"

"You just found out?" Song Xia rolled her eyes.

A gasp rippled through the audience, while in the capital, everyone bowed their heads, the atmosphere heavy and stagnant.

Mu Ningxue, who was sitting in the audience, stood up and stared at Mo Fan's figure as he dominated the battlefield, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.

The first match was won cleanly and decisively!
Gu Han had already quietly shrunk into a corner, his face even more ashen than if he had eaten a dead rat, and he didn't even dare to lift his head.

His previous tactical arrangements now seem like a complete joke.

Those few people he insisted on arranging for him accomplished absolutely nothing.

However, the people Chen Hao chose easily crushed them, it was a complete dimensional reduction attack, and they were instantly defeated and had no dignity in comparison.

The others in the team also looked at Chen Hao silently, their expressions completely different, utterly convinced.

"Next match, I'll go in myself. Who wants to just sit back and win?" Chen Hao slowly stood up and said calmly.

"I!"

"I come!"

"I can do it too!"

The team immediately erupted in excitement, with several players who hadn't yet taken the field raising their hands, their eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.

It wasn't that they were greedy for the thrill of battle, but rather that they understood how many resources this victory could secure for the future.

Chen Hao nodded, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "Let those who haven't played yet go on stage: Mu Nujiao, Zheng Bingxiao, and Luo Song. Bai Tingting is a healing mage; you'll have your chance to shine later in the training, so don't rush."

Bai Tingting nodded obediently: "Understood."

……

On the other side, in the rest area of ​​the Imperial Capital Academy.

Instructor Lu Yiming stood at the front of the team, his gaze as gloomy as a storm cloud before a rainstorm, his tone exceptionally grave: "Ning Xue, Lu Zhenghe, Ming Cong, Xiao Feng, the rest of you will go up in this match. You must win this one decisively and turn the tide, otherwise the face of the capital will be completely trampled on."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment after those words were spoken.

"Yes, mentor!" the four replied in unison, their fighting spirit surging.

Among them, Lu Zhenghe was the most confident, with a hint of disdain and excitement on his face. He said, "I'll leave Mo Fan to my Ghostly Wolf. I'll show him what the strength of a summoner from the capital city is!"

At this moment, in the contract space, a dark-patterned demon wolf with ink-black fur and a burly physique was sticking out its tongue, but its eyes were somewhat... suspicious and uncertain.

As if sensing some danger, it silently shivered and quietly retracted its tail.
