Mu Tingying, Zu Jimin, and Gong Yu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; they were truly worried about being kicked out of the National Government Team.
Their ability to join this National Government Team was not only due to the efforts of their backing forces but also because those forces placed their greatest hopes in them!
If they were truly kicked out of the National Government Team, let alone them, their backing forces would lose all face!
At this moment, Lin Chen spoke, saying, "Mentor, Mu Ningxue and I need to ask for leave to return to the country; we have some private matters to attend to!"
Feng Li glared at him upon hearing this and said, "What did you say?"
Lin Chen calmly replied, "The National Government training is not very meaningful for Mu Ningxue and me; we have our own cultivation plans!"
Feng Li was furious, almost exploding with rage, and glared at Lin Chen, saying, "No!"
Seeing this, Lin Chen's mouth twitched, and he shrugged, saying, "We have our own cultivation plans. Since the National Government Mentor is so unfeeling, then Mu Ningxue and I will just withdraw from the competition!"
"What?!" Feng Li exploded upon hearing Lin Chen's words. As the chief instructor of the National Government, everything about the National Government Competition was under his management. Here, whether they were second-generation scions from prominent families or descendants of military bigwigs, who among them didn't obey obediently?
Feng Li snorted coldly and said, "I approve your withdrawal applications. Get out of here now!"
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Old geezer, who are you telling to get out?"
Lin Chen had always been someone who would advance ten feet if others advanced one foot. It was just asking for leave; what was the big deal? Was it necessary to make things so ugly?
As soon as Lin Chen said this, the atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point. Everyone around looked at Lin Chen in astonishment. Feng Li's rude remarks and Lin Chen's defiance both made them feel incredible!
Feng Li was stunned, looking at Lin Chen with surprise. How many years had it been since he encountered such a naive young man, daring to challenge him, an old Super Mage, with his own strength!
"Who are you calling an old geezer?" Feng Li gritted his teeth.
Lin Chen said disdainfully, "What about it if I said you!"
"Good, good, good…" Feng Li muttered fiercely. As soon as his voice fell, the rhythm of magic lit up around him. Clearly, Lin Chen's words had truly touched him, and he eagerly wanted to teach Lin Chen a lesson.
The surrounding National Government Team members had various thoughts; some showed worry, while others stood with hands on hips, watching the show.
However, they never expected that in the next moment, they would witness a scene that would be unforgettable for them.
Feng Li had some understanding of Lin Chen's strength, so he did not underestimate him and immediately prepared to use Super-Tier Magic.
Even an experienced Mage cannot instantly cast Super-Tier Magic; no matter how fast the Star Orbit connects, it still requires a few seconds of preparation. It was precisely these few short seconds that gave Lin Chen enough time to deal with him.
How keen was Lin Chen's perception? The moment Feng Li connected the Star Orbit, he summoned the Two-Yin Sword. The Two-Yin Sword's body instantly lit up with a scarlet spirit ring, and Lin Chen's figure suddenly vanished from his original spot!
The next second, Lin Chen appeared behind Feng Li, and the silver-white Two-Yin Sword also appeared at Feng Li's neck. In less than two seconds, the situation was completely reversed. Feng Li, a Super Mage, had his life held in Lin Chen's hand just like that.
With Lin Chen's strength, dealing with a Monarch-level demon might still require some effort, but dealing with Super Mages and even Forbidden Magic Masters, Lin Chen could be said to have complete crushing power!
In the All Magic World, the physical bodies of demons are incredibly powerful, but human bodies are still fragile. This is also why, at the same rank, demons can crush humans.
Lin Chen cultivates both Spirit and demon. Although the power of the Spirit cultivation system cannot match the magic system, the Spirit system has its highlights: all Spirit Abilities can be cast instantly. It is precisely this highlight that specifically counters all Mages. Mochizuki Chizuru is only an Advanced-Tier Mage, but Feng Li is a true Super Mage. However, in Lin Chen's eyes, there is no difference between them; he easily subdued them with just one move.
Feng Li, who perceived the current situation, couldn't help but feel a drop of cold sweat trickle down his forehead, and the connection of his Star Orbit stopped. Feng Li understood that if he continued to connect the Star Orbit, he would be decapitated!
At this moment, Feng Li finally understood Lin Chen's terrifying power and why Lin Chen was so reckless. After all, he was a Super Mage, but he couldn't last a single round against Lin Chen.
Similarly, Feng Li understood that he had underestimated Lin Chen and also understood Lin Chen's importance to the Xia Kingdom. No wonder so many people had greeted him.
Although unwilling, Feng Li was not a fool. If he truly angered Lin Chen, Lin Chen would probably strike him hard. At that time, it was hard to say what Lin Chen would do, but he certainly wouldn't have a chance to see it.
A 20-year-old Super Mage, who also possessed special means to easily subdue a Super-Tier, compared to him, an old fellow, what did he count for?
At this moment, the surrounding National Government Team members were also dumbfounded. What a similar move! First Mochizuki Chizuru, and now Feng Li, both were dealt with by Lin Chen in one move. There is a World of difference between an Advanced-Tier Mage and a Super Mage, and they always felt they had overestimated Lin Chen, but they didn't expect they still underestimated him!
He acted at the slightest disagreement, a ruthless man of few words. Super-Tier cultivation was like nothing in front of Lin Chen, and even the identity of a National Government Mentor couldn't suppress Lin Chen!
After a moment of silence, a bitter smile appeared on Feng Li's face. In an instant, Feng Li had a feeling of sudden realization. Why did he try to stop Lin Chen from taking leave?
With Lin Chen's strength, the championship of this competition was definitely his. Why did he have to care about the mentor's face?
Wouldn't it be better to just lie back and win? Now he was completely unable to save face. A dignified National Government Mentor, a dignified old Super Mage, had been made to look utterly disgraceful by himself. Feng Li was now both angry and resentful!
Just then, Song He lightly coughed twice, came to their side, and teased Feng Li, "Feng Li, it seems Lin Chen really has something important to do. It's also you; why make things difficult for him?"
Feng Li's mouth twitched upon hearing this. I made things difficult for him? Didn't you see my life was in his hands!
After speaking, Song He ignored Feng Li and said to Lin Chen with a smile, "Lin Chen, you too, are young and impetuous. Feng Li is a mentor, after all. I know you must have something important to ask for leave. How about this, I'll approve your and Mu Ningxue's leave!"
Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded lightly, and the Two-Yin Sword in his hand instantly dissipated. Since Song He gave him a way out, he naturally took it. Lin Chen never intended to truly do anything to Feng Li from the beginning!
If Feng Li hadn't been rude and started first, Lin Chen wouldn't have made a move!
