Full-Time Magister: All-Element Mutant Star Child

Listening to the sound of a video playing on Dongfang Lie's phone,

Dongfang Yang also remembered that it was indeed time for the national team to be nominated for the World University Competition.

The World University Competition is held every four years.

In the original story, Mo Fan studied on his own for a year after the end of his senior year of high school and the Bloodstained Alert in Bocheng.

Mo Fan then spent a year at the Mingzhu Academy's Qing Campus.

Within a year of the conclusion of the Mingzhu Academy's Qing Campus assessment and the main campus assessment, Mo Fan experienced domestic university exchanges, the Demon Department incident, the Totem Xuan Snake incident, the Yan Ji incident, and the Ancient Capital incident. This was also the year of the preliminary selection for the National Academy team nominations for the World University Competition.

After the National University Team is selected for the World University Competition, there is a year-long training period before the actual World University Competition begins.

The previous World University Competition for Mo Fan's generation started when Mo Fan and his classmates were in their senior year of high school.

I'm currently a freshman in high school, while Mo Fan is a year older and in his sophomore year. The preliminary selection for the National Team nomination for this year's World University Games has indeed begun.

Zu Xiangtian was indeed a member of Mo Fan's previous National Team. In the original story, Zu Xiangtian even had a magical duel with Mo Fan after Mo Fan surpassed his level.

Unfortunately, the original work seems to mention that this year's National University team performed very poorly, and was eliminated in the second round of the World University Tournament due to a strong opponent.

Dongfang Yang pondered, "It seems there are betting options in the World University Competition. I can place a bet then."

"Although there are some issues with sentimentality, whether I place a bet or not won't change the outcome. Since that's the case, I might as well let me make some money."

"Not only the national team, but also the national teams from other countries. It's a pity that the original work didn't mention which country's national team was the final winner of this year's World University Tournament."

Dongfang Lie sighed and said, "It's a pity that our family will miss out on the World University Competition this time."

"Among the family members who meet the age requirements for the World University Competition, there are no particularly outstanding geniuses. The family has recently decided to give up competing for a spot on the National University Team and is busy with other things."

As the source of information for the Sun Ridge Fire Vein, Dongfang Yang knew about his family's plans. However, Dongfang Lie and the other clansmen were unaware of this; they only knew that the family had been very busy lately and seemed to be planning something big.

Dongfang Yang spoke up: "The World University Competition is a very complex affair. If our family doesn't have a suitable genius, there's no need for us to get involved."

"Although the results of the World University Tournament determine the allocation of some resources between countries, after the World University Tournament, countries can allocate some resources, and countries will also allocate some resources to the forces behind the National University Team."

"However, the amount of resources depends on the final performance of the National Team. If the National Team performs poorly, the country will allocate fewer resources, and the country will allocate even fewer resources to the families of the National Team members."

"It can be said that the family's support for its members to join the National Team was an investment, a gamble."

"Securing nominations for our clansmen to join the National Team requires exchanges of favors with other factions, which will cost us dearly. Once our clansmen are in the National Team, we will need to invest even more resources."

"First, there are the resources needed to help clansmen break through to higher levels in their primary, secondary, and even minor cultivation. Each breakthrough to a higher level is not 100% successful, and this alone requires an investment of at least 300 million."

"Then comes the configuration of at least one type of soul seed, with one soul seed costing between seven or eight hundred million and one billion. Configuring two soul seeds would cost two billion, and three soul seeds would cost three billion."

"Besides the Soul Seed, we also need to equip several high-level Soul-grade magical artifacts used by high-ranking mages. A complete set will cost two to three billion."

"If the clansmen are talented, that's fine; but if they are not, the clan will need to invest more resources."

"It's not acceptable to not provide these resources to our clansmen. Without them, they are likely to be eliminated during the national team's training."

"It can be said that if a clansman wants to successfully become a member of the National Team and stay on the National Team without being eliminated, the clan needs to spend at least 5 billion yuan."

"What results the National Government team will ultimately achieve, how many resources the country will allocate, and how many resources the country will allocate to the family are all uncertain. One wrong move and the gains may not even be as much as the effort put in."

"However, most aristocratic clans don't compete for spots on the National Team solely for resource allocation; they're more interested in reputation and power. Once National Team members gain fame, their families can more easily recruit mages to strengthen themselves."

"At the same time, the members of the National Government Team are also talented and accomplished, and are welcomed by various forces in the country. Members of the National Government Team can enter various forces to become high-ranking officials, or even join powerful foreign forces, so as to use their power to give back to their families."

"Like the Zu family, they have a member of their clan participating in every World University Competition. Last year it was Zu Xingyi, this year it was Zu Xiangtian, and next year the National University team will definitely have another member with the surname Zu."

"The Zu family members are spread across various forces, both domestically and internationally. The Grand Speaker's secretary is a member of the Zu family, there are members of the Zu family in the Asian Magic Association, and there are also members of the Zu family in the Holy City."

Listening to Dongfang Yang's understanding of the World University Competition, Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming were both dizzy. There were so many twists and turns in a competition.

Dongfang Lie asked, "No, second brother, according to you, members of the National Government Team are very popular with various forces and can easily become high-ranking members. At the same time, the country also allocates resources to them. Isn't that a good thing?"

Dongfang Yang responded, "I was only talking about the National Team's performance being good. What if the National Team's performance is very poor?"

"Other families and forces can withstand the losses, but our Dongfang family will suffer much greater losses."

"Our Dongfang family's members who are of the right age don't have enough talent. The family needs to invest more resources. If our members are eliminated before the World University Competition starts, billions of dollars will be wasted."

"If a member of the clan is talented enough, the clan can take a gamble. But if the clan doesn't have any outstanding talents, there's no need to gamble."

Only then did Dongfang Lie and Dongfang Ming understand Dongfang Yang's meaning from his convoluted words.

Dongfang Ming spoke up: "Let's skip this year's competition. By the next World University Competition, the three of us will all be old enough. Do you think the family will support us in participating?"

After saying that, Dongfang Ming laughed and said, "Forget about me. I'm no match for the two of you. I definitely won't be involved in the matter."

Dongfang Ming was very self-aware; he knew that his talent was inferior to Dongfang Lie's, and even more so to Dongfang Yang's.

Dongfang Lie reached the third level of the initial stage in the second semester of his first year of high school. It only took him a little over a year and a month to go from awakening magic to reaching the third level of the initial stage.

Dongfang Yang cultivated for half a year and reached the third level of the initial stage.

He had only reached the third level of the initial stage a few days ago.
