Fortunately, the mentors didn't need to travel with the training team, otherwise they would have really become the accompanying eunuchs!
Fortunately, Lü Cheng really didn't interfere with the National Team's affairs. Just as he said, he was just a tourist. Otherwise, some things would have been really troublesome. Domestic matters were fine, as the National Magic Association, led by Shao Zheng, could handle them. But when it came to matters involving foreign forces, things became much more difficult for them.
"Grandpa, is he the captain of our National Team?" asked the girl with a ponytail who was following Feng Li.
"Mm." Feng Li nodded.
"Isn't the National Team still training? Why is he here?" the girl asked, puzzled.
"They're probably coming back to select team members," Feng Li said.
Mu Ningxue was taken into seclusion by Lü Cheng. Zhou Xu was eliminated in the previous round of training, and Lu Yilin took his place. The National Team will continue to eliminate people, and Lü Cheng probably wants that little girl from the Mu family to take her place.
Although Lü Cheng seems unreasonable, he is actually quite reasonable as long as you don't deliberately go against him.
Lu Cheng is not the type to trample on rules to show off his privileges; at most, he just likes to exploit loopholes in the rules.
Just as Pang Lai said, as long as he doesn't provoke others, Lü Cheng is safer than most mages.
"Hello, my name is Eileen, and I'm a member of the British team."
Eileen walked up to Lü Cheng and the other person and greeted them with a smile.
"Hello, Mu Nujiao," Mu Nujiao said.
"Hello, Lü Cheng." Lü Cheng nodded.
"What's up?"
"Um, although this request might be a bit impolite, I'd like to ask if you're willing to participate in the upcoming challenge?" Eileen asked.
"A challenge?" Lü Cheng looked puzzled.
"What challenge?"
He just came to join in the fun, planning to find the girl after the competition was over.
“The challenge match at the National Pavilion,” Eileen said.
“But I’m not the caretaker of the museum.” Lü Cheng shrugged.
"Winning or losing won't affect you."
"As a price for letting you play, the National Pavilion team can field one more player. If we lose, we'll give up the National Pavilion badge here," Eileen said earnestly.
Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow. "You want to test my strength?"
“Yes.” Eileen nodded, making no attempt to hide it.
"May I?"
“Of course,” Lü Cheng replied without refusing.
"However, as the price for my intervention, you have to do me a favor, which doesn't involve the university competition."
Eileen was taken aback. "Can I ask what it is about first?"
“Raising dragons,” Lü Cheng said.
"Cooperation?" Eileen quickly realized.
Such a strong dragon aura suggests that this person lives with dragons frequently. Moreover, this aura surpasses that of a sub-dragon, indicating that this person may have a connection with a true dragon.
Just as high-ranking demons have near-absolute dominance over lower-ranking demons, if a true dragon appears, almost all wyverns will choose to submit without hesitation!
This has nothing to do with their thoughts; it comes from the control of their bloodline.
"More or less," Lu Cheng said.
Eileen paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, but I'd like to discuss the specific details of the collaboration in more detail."
Lü Cheng nodded. "Of course."
He didn't just have a few, he had hundreds, more than the total number of sub-dragons currently existing in this world.
These hundreds of sub-dragons, once they grow up, will become hundreds of monarchs!
A normal demon empire consists of a dozen or so monarchs plus one emperor. In weaker demon empires, the emperor is merely a sub-emperor, and the monarchs are all minor monarchs, or even sub-monarchs.
Once his more than one hundred dragons of different attributes grow up, they will all be at least Great Monarchs!
Furthermore, dragons possess extremely high resistance to magic.
Mid-level magic cannot harm a warrior-level dragon, high-level magic can barely harm a commander-level dragon, and super-level magic has little chance of harming a monarch-level dragon.
Emperor-level true dragons are even more exaggerated. They are completely immune to most magic under forbidden spells. No matter how you bombard them, they will not react at all. In fact, even forbidden spells are difficult to cause effective damage to true dragons.
These dragons of his all possess the potential to become emperors.
Even if there's only a one in ten chance, that's still more than a dozen emperors. With that kind of lineup, he wouldn't be afraid to go head-to-head with the Maritime Empire.
Ultimately, only one's own child can bring peace of mind.
……
After discussion, the British team sent out four members who would normally be used in a team match. Apart from Eileen, none of them were particularly strong. On the other hand, Lu Cheng brought Mu Nujiao to the field for the National Hall.
The British team did not underestimate their opponents. Even if the woman that Lü Cheng brought was just a pretty face, the dragon that Eileen had identified as being at its peak was not something the four of them could handle.
“I’ll hold off his dragon for a bit, and you guys try to force him to use his third element,” Eileen said.
The biggest weakness of summoning mages is their low physical strength. When fighting a summoning mage, the best strategy is to attack the summoning mage directly.
However, according to the intelligence they had previously obtained, Lü Cheng was also a powerful spatial mage, which put them in a very awkward position, leaving them with no choice but to confront him head-on.
Moreover, wyverns possess extremely strong elemental resistance and super high stamina. In a match, if the opponent has a wyvern contract beast, the only way is to stall!
"Isn't he underestimating his opponent?"
In the audience, the spectators, unaware of the truth, expressed doubt about Lü Cheng's decision to bring only Mu Nujiao onto the stage.
Don't try to show off and end up getting slapped in the face instead.
"The British team is clearly trying to gather information on him. Why would he agree to a match like this?" Bai Dongwei said anxiously.
Lu Cheng is the captain of the National Team. If someone figures him out, how can the game be played?
Don't think that having great talent is everything. In a real competition, once someone figures you out, they'll directly counter with a whole set of counter-magic items. No matter how amazing your talent is, it's all for nothing!
"We can't detect it," Feng Li said.
He couldn't figure out Lü Cheng's strength. Although the British team was strong, to be honest, with Lü Cheng's bunch of magic users, let alone these four kids, even if the entire British team came together, it would be useless.
Suddenly, as if struck by a thought, Feng Li looked up at the sky. "Luckily, it's daytime now..."
Once it gets dark, Lü Cheng becomes an absolutely invincible being under the forbidden spell!
Once the Abyss of Sha opens, an army of undead will swarm you in seconds!
Chapter 181 The Aura of a True Dragon
183.
……
"Shouldn't we summon the wyvern first?"
The British team, led by Eileen, did not take direct action. After all, they outnumbered the enemy, and it would be somewhat impolite to strike first.
"No need, you can just do it directly," Lü Cheng said.
“Then we won’t stand on ceremony.” Eileen smiled, and Shad, who was standing next to her, immediately chanted the contract. A contract gate slowly opened, and a griffin covered in golden feathers rushed out and quickly rose into the sky.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~"
The griffin flapped its wings, aimed at Lü Cheng, and swooped down like a golden sword.
Upon seeing this, Mu Nujiao instinctively wanted to activate her magic defense, but remembering what Lü Cheng had just said—that he only wanted her to come up and watch the show—she withdrew her magic.
The griffins were getting faster and faster, and some of the British team members didn't quite understand what was happening.
Are you not going to defend against this? You can't expect to teleport away when the griffin swoops down and lands, can you?
"what's the situation?"
Shad stared blankly at his golden griffin, which had suddenly begun to slow down.
Seeing Shad's surprised expression, Eileen was about to ask him why when something happened that she couldn't understand.
The golden griffin, which was about to attack, slowly landed in front of Lü Cheng, squatted down with a contented expression, and placed its head in front of Lü Cheng.
Surrender!
For a moment, the entire National Pavilion fell silent because of this strange scene.
"He...didn't use magic, did he?" Feng Li was starting to doubt his own eyes.
His mind magic is also at the super-level, but just now, he didn't sense any fluctuations of mind magic from Lü Cheng, which means that he really didn't do anything!
If Feng Li couldn't see it, then naturally the other instructors at the National Academy wouldn't be able to either.
"Out of control?" Eileen asked.
Shad's expression stiffened. "It's not out of control, it's just... scared!"
