Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

Even the initial arrival of the forest was for this purpose.

Now, all eyes are on him, and everyone's heart is captivated by his every step.

In this grand magic tournament, he must demonstrate his unparalleled power as a mage and deliver a satisfactory result to his brother.

Behind Ximu, two figures finally managed to climb onto the track leading to the giant dome venue.

Two people from rival guilds, who are sworn enemies, began to fight each other for second place after Westwood.

Further afield, long marathon teams can only strive to finish in the top five.

The brutality of this competition was brought to its peak from the very beginning.

But in the eyes of the audience, it undoubtedly became a highlight.

It's better to watch a group of people tediously navigate a maze than to just stand there watching them.

However, the organizers may have to spend a little money.

"This is so much fun!" cheers erupted from the audience.

At that moment, with the commentary from the stands, everyone remembered Ximu's name.

Moreover, the Grand Magic Games will soon become the biggest hot topic in the entire kingdom. The names Devil's Tail and Westwood, which were originally unfamiliar, will spread to every corner of the kingdom and reach the ears of every mage through various channels of information.

In a world with magic, people are inherently devotees of "power".

Such a guild would undoubtedly attract everyone's interest and attention.

at last.

Ximu arrived at the finish line of the qualifying round at a leisurely pace.

He stood calmly in the center, his gaze sweeping down from above, looking down on all the others with disdain.

With him around, everyone can only compete for second place.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the audience, Zhou Lan smiled and asked the stunned mages beside her, "It seems the outcome is decided."

He was surrounded by eager eyes.

"My lord!" someone hurriedly asked, "Is Devil's Tail... still hiring?"

“Of course,” Zhou Lan said with a smile. “However, there are too many of you. Anyone who wants to can deposit a portion of their magic power with me so I can find you by following your auras later.”

"That's great! Don't just ask for one serving, you can take all my free time!"

that's it.

Zhou Lan, the second-generation guild leader of Devil's Tail, after earning guild fees earlier, began to earn guild members outside the competition arena, as well as the future foundation of one of her younger brothers.

…………

I'm taking a day off on October 10.2nd. Happy National Day everyone!

Fairy Tail ended after writing about the Grand Magic Games. Guess who's next?

Before we knew it, we were left with only two choices, haha!

Chapter 359 The Hands-Off Manager

The Grand Magic Games qualifying rounds have officially ended.

Without the slightest suspense, Ximu, with the devil's tail, successfully advanced with the highest score and ranking.

His performance in this qualifying round was nothing short of phenomenal; he practically broke the rules single-handedly.

"We can see that the most well-rounded player on the field is undoubtedly the one we're talking about," the commentator remarked.

At the same time, Fairy Tail and Raven Tail, founded by Makarov's son Ivan, also advanced in the rankings.

The other five guilds, including Swordbite Tiger.

These guilds will qualify for the main tournament, while the remaining hundred-plus guild teams will have to go home.

Competition is brutal, and everyone must understand that.

After the qualifying rounds conclude, the main tournament of the Grand Magic Games will begin the following day, providing ample time for both competitors and spectators to rest.

"Boss, how did I do?" Leading his team, Ximu followed closely behind Zhou Lan.

The organizers thoughtfully prepared hotels for each team, but the direction that Devil's Tail took went in the opposite direction from all the other guilds.

They declined the organizer's offer.

Indeed, unlike other participating guilds, their own guild headquarters floated in the sky, making it a matter of coming and going as they pleased.

And so, in the eyes of tens of thousands of people, the members of Devil's Tail rose off the ground, leisurely ascended into the sky, and disappeared into the sea of ​​trees.

Envious glances followed.

Everyone is speculating whether this means that everyone in Demon's Tail is skilled in flying, or at least possesses some kind of levitation magic, otherwise they would be unable to return to their guild at all.

Back in the Sea of ​​Trees, Juvia and her group rushed over to congratulate them. From the top of the Sea of ​​Trees, they could see and hear what was happening in the arena.

"Boss?" Ximu asked in confusion.

"Your performance was not bad." Zhou Lan nodded slightly, indicating her approval.

Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand to Ximu, and in his open palm, dazzling light shone, and all sorts of brilliant magic flowed between his palms, which was very beautiful!

"Oh, magic—" Ximu exclaimed in surprise, looking intently at Zhou Lan, "How did you do that, boss?"

“These are all the magic I collected from the audience. Although they are diverse, their quality is not as good as before. You need to consider them carefully,” Zhou Lan explained.

"Also, each of these magical powers belongs to a mage who longs to join the Demon Tail. I'm just collecting the magical power according to the guild's rules. After the Grand Magic Games, you can compare the aura and attributes of these magical powers with those who come to us."

"Oh, that sounds complicated!" Ximu took the ball of magic light from Zhou Lan and shook his head unhappily.

"That's your business, do whatever you want with it," Zhou Lan smiled.

He felt that he had done his job as the second-generation president more than enough.

Making money and recruiting others at the same time, they are quite competent.

"Alright." Ximu reluctantly threw the ball of light into the Sky Codex.

As long as he receives magical power, he can continuously grow stronger; that's for sure.

The magic that Zhou Lan just gave him was mostly magic of the earth, wind, water, and fire attributes.

For Ximu now, he has mastered magic as his main force in the four paths of earth, wind, water, and fire, encompassing offense, defense, speed, control, purification, and various other aspects, making him an all-rounder.

The additional magic of the same attribute that was added later had a greater effect than simply creating a new magical path; it was to enhance Ximu's magic of the same attribute.

After several rounds of growth, his magic had skyrocketed to an incomprehensible level.

Whether it's magic based on the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, or dragon-slaying magic that serves multiple purposes, their power has reached a terrifying level.

“Boss, I feel my power returning,” Ximu suddenly said.

The power he spoke of this time was not magic, but something deeper, something that belonged to the demons of heaven from the very beginning.

“I can sense it.” Zhou Lan nodded; not a single change in west Mu could escape his eyes.

"I don't know why either. Logically speaking, the magic of this world and my demonic energy should be governed by two different rules. Let me think..."

"I understand!" Ximu clapped his hands. "It seems that after receiving the magic of the little girl you brought back, her magic has been of great benefit to me."

“Then it seems I didn’t go the wrong way to the Cat House.” Zhou Lan looked at Wendy not far away.

She had shed her reserve, and a month had allowed her to quickly integrate into the guild, since everyone there was very kind.

The Heavenly Demon and the Sky Dragon Slayer Mage have probably replenished some of their original essence.

Zhou Lan didn't care, after all, what could truly bring Ximu back to his peak was the Heavenly Demonic Qi from his original world.

What they are doing now is simply forging a new path on the path of magic that Westwood had long since dried up.

As darkness fell, the kingdom gradually descended into night.

Zhou Lan gave Juvia a task: to lead a group of people and station them at the arena during the Grand Magic Games.

They are specifically responsible for collecting magical energy and recording the mages who come to apply to join Devil Tail.

"Can everyone join us?" Juvia asked, puzzled.

“That’s right, you can agree as long as they’re willing to store magic as a token.” Zhou Lan casually made a jar that could store magic and tossed it to her.

“But, President,” Juvia bowed politely and asked, “what if we recruit some unscrupulous individuals?”

Zhou Lan glanced at Juvia.

He was curious that Juvia, a former member of the Spectre Masters who had been known for his wickedness, could now ask such a question.

“Of course, this is unavoidable, but it is also solvable,” Zhou Lan said leisurely.

"How do we solve this?" Juvia's eyes lit up.

She now has an extremely strong conviction about the Devil's Tail.

After all, as a former defeated opponent, Ximu is still willing to recruit opponents like her and Gajeel, and their guild is about to become the number one guild in the Kingdom of Fiore.

This also led her to not want the guild's reputation to be tarnished in any way.

"That's for later," Zhou Lan said with a mysterious smile.

Juvia was completely bewildered: "Later?"

"I'm leaving now, that's Ximu's problem, hahaha."

With a touch of nonchalant detachment, Zhou Lan disappeared into the sea of ​​trees into the night.

"Why do I feel like someone's got their eye on me?" In the distance, Ximu scratched his head, looking puzzled.

Chapter 360 The First Match!

The next day.

When the eight teams stepped back into the arena.

This time, the ground was finally less crowded, with eight teams each dominating their own area.

Apart from them, the remaining losers could only watch their competition from outside the arena as spectators.

The intense competition of the qualifying rounds drew all the attention of the audience to Devil's Tail.

Ximu's performance yesterday was truly amazing, but of course, this also caused him to offend almost all the participating guilds on his own.

This has made countless people curious about what kind of sparks they will create in today's main competition.

On stage, the commentator passionately launched into his speech.

"The main competition is about to begin, and I must explain the rules for the main competition to you all!"

"First of all, the main competition over the first four days is divided into two parts: the competition section and the combat section..."

"In the competition section, each team sends one player to participate each day, and they receive points ranging from 0 to 10 based on their ranking..."

"The combat portion consists of four matches each day, with one person from each team participating in a one-on-one duel! The winner receives ten points, the loser receives zero points, and a draw results in each team receiving five points!"

"I need to remind you that, whether it is a competition or a battle, you cannot send out the same person continuously at the same time, and the same player cannot appear in the same competition or battle. There must be at least one competition or battle between them."

The commentator announced the rules to the audience, which appeared to be a points-based competition system that the organizers had carefully considered.

"Similarly, the next match will be the first game of the main competition. The eight teams will select their players to play!" the commentator reminded them.

The next second, a questioning voice came from the arena and the stands: "What about the rules for the first match of the competition?"

"Secret." The old commentator smirked.

It's still a single contestant's performance time, but this time the organizers have temporarily hidden the rules.

The eight teams began a lively discussion.

Unlike the previous qualifying rounds, they could only gamble without understanding the rules.

But this is also good news for the other seven teams.

This means that Ximu, who performed exceptionally well yesterday, will be unable to play in today's competition.

Tactics are an indispensable part of the game.

Since none of them can guarantee a high score when Ximu is competing, they can only try their best to get the highest score when Ximu is banned.
