……
The minor incident quickly passed. In fact, this competition was just to see how good everyone's skills were, and it wasn't necessarily about eliminating anyone. After all, Lu Yilin had already ruined himself back in Peru.
This time, besides Mu Ningxue returning to the team, Mu Nujiao successfully advanced from the National Hall, bringing the National Palace team to a full 12 members.
Lü Cheng, Ai Jiangtu, Nan Jue, Jiang Shaoxu, Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Jiang Yu, Mu Tingying, Nan Rongni, Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, Li Kaifeng.
But Li Kaifeng's actions backfired, leading to his own downfall.
Because he almost killed Jiang Yu by using the Bloodstained Technique illegally, Li Kaifeng was taken back to China by the coaches of the National Team.
The training continued, and after easily winning the Mexican National Medal, the National Team arrived in the United States.
St. Paul's Cathedral in England is considered the best of the five continents because of its long history, but in terms of the overall strength of magicians, the Temple of Liberty, the highest magic association in the Americas, is the strongest of the five continents.
"Damn it! Are we playing against an Asian team or a European team?!"
At the U.S. National Pavilion, led by Oluna, who was somewhat of an acquaintance, the National Pavilion team didn't delay and went straight to collect their badges.
Because the guards here were too arrogant, Jiang Shaoxu directly pulled Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao onto the field together. The three-headed dragon was placed on the field, which completely stunned the guards.
Three-headed, high-bloodline sub-dragon!
What the hell are you doing shooting birds?!
Especially the ice dragon standing in the middle, the Grand Commander!
“You…” Jiang Shaoxu’s eyes twitched violently.
No, little sister, how did you raise her?
It feeds faster than I can?
"I've been in seclusion in the Tianshan Mountains for some time now," Mu Ningxue said.
Jiang Shaoxu was taken aback. "No wonder."
Tianshan is the best training ground for ice-type mages and ice-attribute demons. The only problem is that the place is too dangerous.
However, if one can withstand the erosion of the ice elements in that hellish place, the cultivation speed will be extremely fast.
However, this little ice dragon seems to be only a few months old, right?
Thinking of the weaknesses of his Dark Moon Dragon, Jiang Shaoxu looked at the Great Ice Dragon on the field with some concern, "It should be able to barely control its own power, right?"
Mu Ningxue shook her head. "No, it's too small, only a few months old. Plus, it's growing too fast. Whenever it makes a move, it attacks indiscriminately. I've almost been frozen by it several times."
Mu Nujiao's eyes twitched slightly. "My little wind dragon is the same, but it's only at the advanced stage of warrior, so I can barely control it."
"..."
Listening to the conversation between the three, Nan Jue, who was on stage to give instructions, twitched her eyes, while Nan Rongni, who was on stage as a healing support, was about to run away.
No, none of you can control yourselves?
You should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, we wouldn't have come up!
"Why haven't you made a move yet?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.
Jiang Shaoxu was quite annoyed by the arrogant attitude of these Americans.
"No, do you want to listen to what you're saying?" Zhao Manyan asked with a strange expression.
"That Ice Dragon is a Grand Commander, Jiang Shaoxu's Xiaoyue is a Junior Commander, and Mu Nujiao's Wind Dragon is also at the advanced stage of a War General. With this lineup, do you dare to fight?"
"I wouldn't dare," Mo Fan said.
"But weren't they so arrogant just now? I thought they were really something."
"..."
"Should we stop fighting?"
Oruna, acting as the referee, said.
There's really no need to fight; the outcome is obvious at a glance.
Although their national team members are stronger than most national teams, they have no chance of winning against the three Asian dragons on the field.
"We... admit defeat."
Bob Bobolin, the leader of the national team, gave up the idea of fighting.
Fight when there is hope, even if the odds are low, but if you keep charging forward when there is no hope, that's just plain stupid.
In this situation, if they make a move, the Grand Commander's ice dragon could freeze them all with a single breath!
"Phew!" Nan Jue and Nan Rongni breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, a fight didn't break out!
Otherwise, we'll really make a fool of ourselves!
They won, but their own teammates, and even they themselves, were eliminated!
Chapter 196 The Executioner
198.
……
At night, walking on the bustling streets of New York, all the girls were dragged off to go shopping by Jiang Shaoxu, and not a single one was left. Zhao Manyan took Mo Fan to find strippers, and Ai Jiangtu had no interest in shopping, so he didn't go out. In the end, only Jiang Yu was left to wander around aimlessly with Lü Cheng.
Due to their unfamiliarity with the local environment and the change in environment, Oruna, whom they already knew, volunteered to act as their tour guide.
"You guys are making this really awkward for me, a summoner mage," Jiang Yu said, somewhat dejected.
They're always getting dragons. Now, excluding Lü Cheng, who's an uncertain factor, the team already has four dragons: Jiang Shaoxu, Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and Mo Fan. Each of them has a dragon, and they're all at least at the advanced stage of warrior general.
Originally, his role as a summoner mage was quite important in the team's strategic arrangements, but now he's become somewhat dispensable.
Fortunately, Jiang Shaoxu and the others did not major in summoning. They were almost completely ignorant about the cultivation and training of contracted beasts. In fact, among these sub-dragons, apart from Mo Fan's Flame Demon Dragon, which had been training in battle for a long time and had good control over its own power, the others, represented by Jiang Shaoxu, could send their own summoning mages flying when they made a move.
Previously, during the Japanese naval battle, Mu Ningxue was almost killed by Jiang Shaoxu.
However, these minor or even secondary summoning classes were even more terrifying than his major, which made him very embarrassed!
"Don't worry, you're not embarrassed at all. They wouldn't dare release those dragons in the official competition," Lü Cheng said.
"At least not now."
Oruna was taken aback. "Why?"
Could it be that those dragons came from a strange place?
After all, it's a bit odd to see so many high-bloodline dragons appear at once; even the British team doesn't have this kind of setup.
There are only a few hundred sub-dragons in the whole world; the rest are pseudo-dragons or mixed-breed dragons. It's just that Europeans are very good at breeding them, making those pseudo-dragons and mixed-breed dragons look like sub-dragons.
However, in the eyes of those who truly understand the matter, the differences between these dragon creatures are vast.
Within the same tier, pseudo-dragons and miscellaneous dragons are practically defenseless against wyverns!
Because the dragon possesses a breath similar to that of the legendary true dragon, and that thing is incredibly powerful.
Even without using its breath attack, the strength of a dragon's scales and its dragon power are unmatched by any other dragon race.
Take, for example, the two sub-dragons that Lu Cheng released at the port of Baitou Port. High-level magic was like tickling them, and they could even cripple an extremely powerful high-level mage with a single kick.
If a high-bloodline dragon like the one released during today's competition hadn't appeared as a contracted beast, it would probably have attracted some criminals to steal it.
Or rather, if it weren't for the powerful forces behind these people, there would definitely be many people secretly watching them, after all, Yalong is a treasure trove!
“They can’t control those dragon cubs. They’re fine for bluffing, but if it really comes down to a fight, they’re just meat shields or maybe they can scratch them a couple of times,” Lu Cheng said.
"If they get serious, and can't control their strength, they could easily kill someone, or even be knocked flying themselves."
Growing too fast has this risk: before they can even walk properly, they already have the physical ability to run wildly. Although this makes them walk faster, it also causes them to run unconsciously.
The problem is, they don't know how to run!
Once I start running, I don't know how to slow down!
Rampage!
These things need to be taught gradually; it's not something you're born knowing. There are cats that can't climb trees, and many cats can't get down after climbing up.
"Can't control it?" Oluna was taken aback.
"The three dragons that went on stage today, the oldest is only a little over one year old, and the youngest is only a few months old," Lu Cheng said.
"Not to mention the world of dragons, even from the perspective of short-lived creatures like humans, they are still infants."
Oruna looked puzzled. "So today..."
“If you don’t surrender, they will most likely take the dragon back,” Lu Cheng said.
Jiang Shaoxu has some psychological trauma from what happened before, so she won't let the Dark Moon Dragon attack while her teammates are around. Mu Ningxue's proud Ice Dragon is the youngest of them all, only two months old!
"In other words, we lost a bit unfairly today," Oluna said with a hint of helplessness.
They really didn't expect this kind of problem. Of course, they didn't dare to gamble. After all, a commander-level wyvern, especially one with such a high bloodline, has a terrifying dominance over its surroundings. Even a team of experienced high-level mages wouldn't dare to easily start a war with a commander-level wyvern.
After all, if you hit it, it's like scraping a gua sha (a traditional Chinese medicine technique), but if it hits you, it's like killing you!
