Chapter 133. Gathering at the Academy
A month has passed since he left the Abyss of Fiends. During this month, Mo Fan has finally cultivated his Mind System to a high level.
The Curse faction also successfully advanced thanks to the large amount of resources gifted by the ancient capital.
After reaching a high level of cultivation, Mo Fan emerged and received a gift from Zhu Meng.
He delivered a 'Thunder Palace Armor', which is not only a defensive type of magical armor, but also a magical armor that can directly increase lightning magic by two times!
In other words, Mo Fan currently has a 2.5x increase in lightning attribute, but if he adds the Thunder Palace Armor, his lightning burst can reach 4.5x!
Han Ji also presented him with a magical artifact on behalf of the ancient capital, named'Swift Shadow Boots'.
It is a magic item that can be used in conjunction with wind and shadow skills, and it is also a magic item that amplifies magic.
Both of these magical artifacts are exquisite, especially for those who possess these magical abilities.
Coincidentally, Mo Fan possesses both of these magic systems!
However, because of the incident involving the ancient capital Mu He, they have already been subjected to a thorough investigation by the Tribunal. Furthermore, Mu Ningxue was not only expelled from the Mu Clan, but also disqualified from the National Government team.
This dueling arena is rarely open; it's simply impossible for a magic duel to be held here unless it reaches a certain level!
"It seems she's been put on the waiting list, and I've even heard she'll most likely be removed from the list... It all depends on what the members of parliament think."
"I am delighted to see you stand out from so many universities. Next, you will represent our country's outstanding young mages in competitions with top experts from other countries. Although we can give you a very grand ceremony to send you off on your journey to various countries, I would prefer that this ceremony be held when you bring glory to our country. At that time, it will be a hundred or a thousand times more grand, because you are the pride of our country." Dean Songhe's voice echoed in the ears of the ten people.
"Strange, I suddenly feel a bit cold. Has the temperature dropped?"
Soon, the group saw Mu Ningxue walking towards them.
Mu Tingying loathed Mu Ningxue because, despite her status in the Mu clan, she had become this little bitch's substitute and had been overshadowed by Mu Ningxue's reputation for so many years. Finally, heaven had opened its eyes and helped her this time, so Mu Tingying was naturally extremely smug.
But she knew even more that she had to seize this opportunity, because if she missed it, all her efforts over the years would be in vain.
She wasn't as obedient as her little darling, Xinxia.
After that, Mo Fan went to the capital.
Mo Fan looked at Mu Ningxue; he knew she would come here.
Mu Ningxue did not respond further. Instead, she turned around, her icy eyes fixed on the magnificent dueling arena.
At the heart of the Imperial Capital Academy stands a magnificent magic arena, shaped like a star and covered by a black, four-arched dome that can be opened or closed. Surrounding it is a vast seating area that can accommodate 50,000 people, exuding grandeur and magnificence!
He had only just arrived, and while he knew about Mu Ningxue's situation, he hadn't had a chance to do anything about it yet.
Clearly, beautiful women always receive more attention, especially someone like Mu Ningxue who possesses both stunning beauty and considerable strength.
Moreover, the slightest mishap could result in a funeral for hundreds of thousands of people.
In fact, Li Kaifeng was no better than Guan Yu. His ability to enter this place was also due to his understanding of human relationships.
"What bow?" The other instructors looked puzzled.
After finishing his cultivation, Mo Fan first went to see Xin Xia. Xin Xia had already been recruited by Parthenon.
Unfortunately, the five mentors are absolutely biased towards no one. The fact that they can become national-level mentors means that they have only one goal: to win the highest ranking in the competition among world-class universities!
"Reconsider? Ning Xue, I know this is really unfair to you, but the crimes committed by the Holy See are too heinous. We didn't let you participate in the competition to protect you. There are too many grievances from the ancient capital catastrophe. They may transfer these grievances to you, especially if you appear as a member of the world-renowned National Government again…" Dean Songhe also advised with bitter words.
However, she certainly wasn't there to sell her innate icy beauty. She slowly opened her arms, and countless ice crystals gathered before her, gradually transforming into a stunning ice bow!
The resentment in this is immense!
Indeed, because of Mo Fan, the ancient capital suffered very little damage, but it was subjected to an enormous threat!
Just as Songhe was speaking, a sudden chill swept over them.
The arena seats were empty, but in the very center of the arena stood about ten young mages, standing in a row, dressed in elegant magical robes. The wind blew, causing their cloaks to flutter, making them look incredibly dashing!
The ten people are Mo Fan, Ai Jiangtu, Nan Jue, Jiang Yu, Jiang Shaoxu, Zu Jiming, Nan Rongni, Mu Tingying, Mu Nujiao, and Li Kaifeng.
All five mentors are people of high status and power. It can be said that no matter how many votes each contestant has, the final decision-making power is actually in the hands of these five national mentors!
"Therefore, I need you to re-examine me. I hope this bow of mine can erase your prejudice against me!" Mu Ningxue naturally knew about the ancient capital and also about her uncle, Mu He.
This was something Xin Xia needed to experience, so Mo Fan didn't let her stay in China, but instead sent her to Parthenon.
The next moment, her long, snow-silver hair flew wildly, and her thick skirt swayed with it. Her slender and graceful figure appeared exceptionally charming and alluring under the inexplicable surge of icy wind!
Because Mu Nujiao was already at a high level, it was Guan Yu, who possessed a Soul-level magical artifact, who was eliminated.
"Mu Ningxue, did you come to the wrong place? This is a ceremony for the main players. Putting aside your status as a substitute, it's not even certain whether you'll be considered a national team player in the future..." Mu Tingying suddenly spoke up from the crowd.
Mu Ningxue's strength is beyond doubt; she is stronger than many others in the team.
Born with an ice-type spirit seed, with flowing snow-white hair and icy skin and jade-like bones, she was indeed the most perfect ice mage. Her focus on ice magic and her temperament that blended seamlessly with ice and snow amazed several national-level instructors!
However, whether he can continue on this path, and go even further, remains to be seen.
Moreover, only by going to Parthenon can Xinxia become stronger.
Mu Ningxue ignored her and only paused slightly when she saw Mo Fan before walking straight to the five mentors.
In fact, given their current situation, there's not much he can do to help her. She needs to understand what it means to be cold and indifferent to human relationships.
"I know I've been blacklisted by you, and you know why. I'm here today for only one purpose: to make you re-evaluate me..." Mu Ningxue walked straight up to the five mentors and said earnestly, word by word.
"Isn't that Mu Ningxue?"
