Full-Time Magister: Immortality Begins with Slaying Demons

……

As Zhou Sining predicted, or rather, as almost everyone expected, Egypt actually defeated the undefeated Greece with their "sea of ​​the dead" tactic, advancing to the best-of-two quarterfinals.

The Chinese team is about to compete against the Egyptian team in a best-of-three series to determine who will be the unlucky one to go back and play against a powerful nation again.

After all, at this point in the competition, almost all the players' trump cards have been completely exposed, and teams from various countries will inevitably start to target them.

No one dares to say that they can successfully advance to the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals again.

"Damn it, those Egyptians are amazing! They actually beat Greece with their undead horde tactic! You guys don't know, they summoned a total of twelve commander-level undead, including Horus Guardian and Death Mummy, which are high commander-level... This level and number of undead has long exceeded the limit of normal undead, so why didn't the tournament organizers ban them?!" Jiang Yu complained incessantly in the conference room.

The Egyptian's tactics were simply challenging his understanding as a demon scholar!

It's important to understand that the necromancy and summoning systems are essentially the same; one involves summoning from different planes, while the other involves finding the undead lord.

"It's alright, Xiao Jiangyu. I'm the most experienced at dealing with this kind of massive number of undead. Just follow my instructions." Zhou Sining was quite calm about the outcome, and even looked forward to it.

With Dongfang Lie replacing Zu Jiming, there were 13 people in the conference room, and no one dared to utter a sound.

In the past, they would have at least said something like, "Our defenses aren't like the outer walls of an ancient capital," to refute Zhou Sining.

But now, after Han Ji revealed the truth about the ancient capital's catastrophe, no one dared to question the methods this man, who crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, used to deal with the undead.

In fact, only 13 students participated in the tactical discussion meeting against Egypt, precisely because Feng Li was very clear about Zhou Sining's advantages.

Instead of letting an amateur like him give wild instructions, it would be better to let Zhou Sining discuss with his teammates what to do.

"Then tell me how to fight first. We can't expect you to give us orders once we're actually in the arena," Ai Jiangtu said, breaking the silence.

Zhou Sining snapped his fingers in a pretentious manner: "First, let Old Zhao go on stage and establish a decent defensive barrier. Leave the rest to me. As for who else wants to go on stage, you can discuss it yourselves. I don't care."

"So pretentious..." the newcomer Dongfang Lie muttered cautiously.

The others didn't dare to respond, but they were all trying to suppress their laughter.

Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan didn't even bother to act; they just burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at!" Zhou Sining glared at the two idiots. "Just do as I say, and I'll show you what absolute suppression really is!"

"Hahaha, good, good, I'm just waiting for your absolute suppression, Suppression Bro!" Mo Fan laughed so hard he could barely breathe.

For a moment, he even thought that Dongfang Lie, that idiot, was handsome.

Over the past year, who has dared to openly criticize Zhou Sining's attire?

That silly deer Dongfang Lie is like a newborn calf unafraid of tigers; knowing full well that Zhou Sining is a hero of the ancient capital, he still dares to say such things…

"Damn it..."

……

……

In any case, the match finally arrived.

The arena for this competition was a square platform on the sea, two or three meters above the sea level, with several nearby ships serving as the spectator seats.

The protective barrier covers the entire square island, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the audience.

The world basically viewed this match as a final.

After all, both teams were like dark dragons in this year's university competition.

The Chinese team has been undefeated all the way, and now, five of the top ten players in the rankings are Chinese, more than the British team.

Zhou Sining held the title of world number one from beginning to end, never suffering a defeat.

In the match against the British team, they dominated almost the entire game; their strength far surpasses that of their peers.

Their opponents, Egypt, are no slouch either; since qualifying, they have employed a swarm of undead.

Anyone with eyes could see that the number of undead was abnormal, but their power seemed to come directly from the pyramids and was not prohibited by the event organizers.

The Chinese side was furious when they learned of this.

Damn it, those idiot Egyptians aren't forbidden from using pyramid secrets, but Zhou Sining's fifth-level Heavenly Flame Funeral, which he performed on his own merits, is forbidden?

These stupid foreigners are the worst at discriminating against people!

Of course, the final result was still good.

Due to the efforts of the Chinese side and the influence of Zhou Sining's own public opinion, the event organizers eventually compromised and relaxed the restrictions.

Zhou Sining is permitted to use the fifth-level Heavenly Flame Funeral when facing the Egyptian team.

……

"The most effective way to deal with the undead is to destroy their necromantic crystals. Necromantic crystals are grayish-white crystals, occasionally appearing in other colors. Most undead have their necromantic crystals in the brain, chest cavity, or stomach, but this isn't absolute. In fact, the location of the necromantic crystal is not exactly the same for every undead, so be careful—oh, don't mistake their Soul Eyes for crystals; necromantic crystals don't glow. Also, be very careful; if the necromantic crystal isn't destroyed, the death aura… well, in Egypt it's more like the Netherworld Radiance—anyway, given enough time, the necromantic crystal will attract enough fragments to reassemble into an undead. Therefore, I recommend using powerful magic attacks like fire, space, and ice to blast them to pieces…"

Zhou Sining was reliable; before the match started, he gave his teammates a brief explanation of the undead's weaknesses.

"Alright, let's start with the more aggressive mages. Zhou Sining, Mo Fan, and Dongfang Lie, you three fire-types will go first. Ai Jiangtu will control the field as usual, and Zhao Manyan will defend." Feng Li nodded.

Dongfang Lie was flattered when his name was called. He never expected that he would become a starter so soon after being promoted to the main team!

He quickly replied, "Yes! I will certainly live up to my mentors' expectations!"

"This eye-catching bag..." Mo Fan twitched the corner of his mouth.

Feng Li was speechless. Zhou Sining had already been unsealed, so he wasn't worried about victory at all.

But he didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of the new players, so he nodded and said, "Play well, don't be impatient, and seek victory through steady progress."

"yes!"

"Let's go, let's get on the field."

Zhou Sining waved, put his hands in his pockets, and swaggered off the ship onto the fighting arena.

……

"Players, get ready!"

The referee's voice descended from above.

As the countdown began, each contestant couldn't help but show signs of nervousness.

"start!"

……

As the referee gave his loud command, the sound still echoing above the island arena, the five members of the Egyptian team chanted the same incantation almost simultaneously.

Blurred gray star trails spun rapidly around them, forming a gray-tinged-with-crimson pattern embedded in the ground beneath their feet. The pattern was unlike a star map, but rather radiated a dangerous, eerie light!

Dongfang Lie asked, "Should we use high-level magic to interrupt them?"

He unexpectedly made it to the finals. His family had invested a lot of money in him, so Dongfang Lie naturally wanted to show his skills and live up to the opportunity and his family's expectations.

"Brother, stop messing around. I need to have my fill before we end this game," Zhou Sining said, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Listen to him," Ai Jiangtu said.

"All right."

Meanwhile, the Egyptian team of five used some kind of magic, and the ground beneath their feet was quickly covered in blood red, with one mummy after another, wrapped in red cloth, crawling out.

A rough count revealed over a hundred, averaging about 20 per person.

"Old Zhao is building a wall."

"Alright!"

Zhao Manyan received the order and immediately set off. He touched the ground with both hands, and an earthen fortress rose up, raising the figures of the five people.

The fortress rose about twenty or thirty meters high, and in front of it, Zhao Manyan built a ring of earthen walls to surround it!

"The wooden fish mark!"

"The Ring of Earth!"

"Wisteria Barrier!"

"Light rained down, covering the ground!"

"Water-powered Grand Loop!"

Layer upon layer of defenses and buffs are stacked on the fortresses and city walls, making them dazzling and colorful. Whether they are sturdy or not is unknown, but they are certainly eye-catching.

"Alright, we don't need that many. Remember to put a shield on them so it'll be easier to rush in and fight later." Zhou Sining pulled Zhao Manyan back.

"You don't need it?"

"I don't need it."

Zhao Manyan gave a thumbs up: "Looks like you've really reached your comfort zone."

Zhou Sining watched helplessly as the group of Egyptians opposite him summoned more and more undead. The first hundred or so mummies had already rushed towards them, and then another two hundred or so crimson mummies were being generated.

Suddenly, more than four hundred mummies appeared on the field. They rushed forward in rows, one after another, and were about to crash into the earthen city wall. Dongfang Lie panicked a little.

"Aren't you going to make a move?"

"What's the rush... Oh, we can start now, let me show off a bit first!"

Zhou Sining raised his finger to the sky: "A Thousand-Petaled Flame Flower!"

The opening move is a level 3 Heavenly Flame Funeral!

The fire lotus exploded in the sky, and thousands of huge, fire-drop-like flame companions fell like fireworks, all crashing into the group of more than four hundred crimson mummies!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Thousands of fire petals suddenly crashed to the ground, and a vast white sea of ​​fire quickly appeared in front of the earthen city wall, blocking the road!

Most of the mummies were blasted into charred remains by the fire petals, and the rest were swallowed by the sea of ​​flames. Not one of them survived the white sea of ​​flames!
