"My God, what kind of magic is that China National Team Captain using?"
"Full of death energy, that's Undead System magic!"
"But why didn't he connect star dust when casting magic?"
"The mysterious Eastern Undead System, that must be some kind of powerful and mysterious Eastern Undead secret art!"
After some discussion, a Shrine Mage came to a conclusion.
Undead Mages are not uncommon in this free land.
After all, the liberty temple is very lenient with magic control; it's common to see Mages battling with magic on the streets, and killing ordinary people is commonplace.
"China has already won two matches; our America's greatness has been shamed!"
Plant's face hardened as he said seriously, "If we lose one more match, America's undefeated myth will end here. How will the world view us? Bob Lin, you must make America great again!"
Bob Lin and the others were already used to their mentor's strong desire for showmanship and exaggerated descriptions.
At least Mentor Plant had real substance, and it was rumored he was planning to run for the head of the liberty temple, a position not just any Super-Order Mage could hold!
Bob Lin nodded faintly and slowly walked onto the dueling stage with Plant.
"Chinese, I admit your strength is very great. I retract my team's disrespectful words. I also deeply apologize for presumptuously writing down the results before the match."
Right from the start, Bob Lin readily admitted his previous mistakes.
This person was arrogant, but he certainly had enough respect for the strong, unlike other Americans who would still look down on powerful Mages.
Bob Lin said earnestly, "In the upcoming match, I will go all out. You are the first to push our America National Pavilion to such a degree!"
"Alright, let's begin then," Jiang Yuan said calmly to Plant, who was waiting nearby.
Plant nodded, "Both sides ready, match begin!!"
With that, he flashed away from the dueling stage.
Leaving Jiang Yuan and Bob Lin facing each other across the platform.
Undead Tentacles still extended from under Jiang Yuan's feet.
The slowly twisting tentacles were like devils from hell, awe-inspiring.
This time, Jiang Yuan gave Bob Lin a chance to cast magic, and a constellation rapidly formed around him.
In an instant, Light System burst forth, and glowing feathers condensed from the void, draping over Bob Lin, forming a dazzling sacred Light System armor.
"The Captain is using Light System magic; that China National College Team Captain is an Undead Mage, he's going to be completely countered by our Captain!" a joyful voice rang out from the America National Pavilion.
As Bob Lin donned the Light System armor, he connected new star dust, intending to seize the initiative in the offense.
"Crack~ Boom!"
Lightning exploded, and thunder boomed like drums.
Lightning, more volatile than fire, erupted from Bob Lin's hands and rapidly spread throughout his body.
Electric Light System wove like a net, and a powerful aura instantly took shape!
"You are giving me a chance to use magic," Bob Lin's voice came through the lightning and thunder, devoid of emotional fluctuation.
He paused for a moment and continued, "Not even a member of the America National Government could completely withstand my magic. You will pay a painful price for this!"
The moment his voice fell.
Everything erupted.
The dueling stage was completely enveloped in electric and golden Light System; except for the observing mentors and Shrine Mages, no one else could see what was happening inside.
However, the Light System only lasted for a few seconds before a massive Undead Tentacles, dozens of meters high and over ten meters thick, shattered the Light System and coiled Bob Lin into mid-air.
Even if the Light System feathers caused a sizzling burning sound when they landed on the Undead Tentacles, they could not diminish the unrivaled power within!
The Undead Tentacles wrapped around Bob Lin and smashed him heavily onto the spot where the two had previously landed.
When he landed again, cracks clearly appeared on the ground!
This was ground that even High-Order magic couldn't destroy!
Yet, under everyone's gaze, it was covered in cracks!
But at this moment, everyone's thoughts were not on the ground, but entirely on Jiang Yuan on the dueling stage.
His expression was calm, with a harmless smile on his face; no one would have thought that the power he unleashed could casually instantly kill the America National Pavilion Captain!
In fact, Ai Jiangtu could have defeated Bob Lin, but he definitely couldn't have done it as easily as Jiang Yuan.
Especially after Bob Lin fully unleashed his power, it would have required a lot more effort.
This match was like an adult fighting a child, a one-sided crushing!
The Shrine Mages even felt like they were watching a Super-Order Mage, which was simply absurd!
"The China National College Team won," Plant said with a heavy heart.
The undefeated myth that the America National Pavilion had maintained for so many years was ended today.
There wasn't even a passionate match; it was a one-sided situation, just like how the America National Pavilion dealt with other National Training Hall teams!
The sparring match ended.
Bob Lin, as he had promised earlier, had Ferom and the others apologize, and their attitude was incredibly sincere.
The National Pavilion's Seal was also presented by his own hands.
The news of the America National Pavilion being defeated quickly spread among the National Training Hall, and no one knew what had happened.
Only the America National Government received all the battle data from their country.
It recorded all of Jiang Yuan's performances from the first match to the last, specifically highlighting Jiang Yuan's identity as an Undead Mage and requesting that Light System be used to counter him in matches.
This was completely different from the information the Japan National Government received; their intelligence indicated that Jiang Yuan was a very powerful Water System Mage, and his High-Order magic's power was already comparable to Super-Level!
Other National Training Hall only had information on Mo Fan, Guan Yu, and others, and Mo Fan's information was not comprehensive either.
.........
.........
After the National Pavilion battle, everyone explored America and underwent some simple training.
At this time, two promoted substitute members of the National Pavilion from China also arrived in America.
One was the old acquaintance Dongfang Lie.
And Lu Yilin from the Lu family.
"Little Lie Lie, I heard you performed very well in the National Pavilion, and sure enough, you've been promoted to the National Government. Hurry and call Mo Fan 'Senior'!
Mo Fan put his arm around Dongfang Lie's shoulder and said proudly.
Dongfang Lie had long become a loyal supporter of Jiang Yuan; although Jiang Yuan came from a small place, his talent was like a monster!
Most importantly, he learned from his elders that Jiang Yuan had more than one Protector Mage standing behind him.
Who wouldn't want to cling to such a powerful backing?
As for Mo Fan, his talent was also quite high, but his mouth was too foul.
Dongfang Lie pried Mo Fan's hand off: "Don't try to take advantage of me, calling you 'Senior' is impossible! Also, don't call me Little Lie Lie!"
"You're a newcomer who just joined the National College Team, what's wrong with calling me 'Senior'? How boring!" Mo Fan turned his head away uninterestingly and looked at the other new team member.
Lu Yilin was also looking at him, his gaze naturally carrying a sense of superiority that made people very uncomfortable.
Before Mo Fan could speak, he spoke first.
"I want to challenge for a formal spot and become a formal team member!"
