The trials are held in a four-on-four format, with opponents and teammates determined by drawing lots.

Each game is equipped with three referees who have the power to score. The outcome does not directly affect the score, but outstanding performance can win higher evaluation.

Generally speaking, if a contestant fails in a competition, the performance of the losing side will not be very outstanding.

Unless you are very strong but meet weaker teammates, which leads to your failure in the competition, then it is possible to get a high score.

However, the condition for participating in the nomination competition is to be the top 20 elites in each department. Unless the last-ranked contestant meets the top-ranked one, it is difficult to get a high score.

This grading system doesn't seem to be that important.

"Ha~" Xu Mu yawned, looked up at the plump loli on the field, and wondered in his heart. He clearly remembered that today should be Mo Fan's competition, so why was that guy nowhere to be seen?

Did he miss some important plot again?
Having said that, Mo Fan's cultivation speed is amazing. Because he did not use the Demonic Element to downgrade, among his five magic elements, the Fire Element has broken through to the high level, and the other three elements have also reached the intermediate level.

Since the Space System had just awakened, it was still undergoing rapid cultivation, but it was estimated that it would not take long before it could break through to the intermediate level.

It is worthy of being a holy totem vessel, much more powerful than his Undead Plus version of totem vessel.

However, his own cultivation speed was not slow either. After nearly half a year of hard work, his water system had successfully broken through to a high level, and his thunder system had even been cultivated to a perfect level. It was easy for him to defeat the commander-level monsters.

……

As the game gradually came to an end, a young man hurriedly arrived at the stadium. He quickly scanned the field and his face suddenly darkened.

Aitutu!
This big-breasted, brainless guy!
Mo Fan's face turned dark. Looking at Ai Tutu who was fighting on the field, his heart was like thousands of wild horses galloping.

This stupid woman actually took his place in the competition!

Is it possible to play around with such an important matter as the nomination contest? He should not have agreed to leave the nomination contest to a brainless woman like Ai Tutu.

Why was he so stupid as to let Ai Tutu handle it?
“Alas!” Mo Fan sighed helplessly, silently praying in his heart that Ai Tutu would not make the situation too bad.

The game was coming to an end. Even though he was furious, he could not jump onto the stage to pull Ai Tutu down and punish him. He could only continue to watch the game in frustration, silently praying in his heart that Ai Tutu would not make the situation get worse.

"Mo Fan!"

Hearing the shout, Mo Fan looked up and saw Xu Mu in the audience staring at him with an expression as if he was waiting for a good show.

"Even you're here to join in the fun?" Mo Fan asked casually as he walked forward and sat down.

"It's a bit boring to practice in seclusion every day, so I come here to relax." Xu Mu answered easily.

"They are going to lose, and you will definitely not get the vote for the nomination." Xu Mu pointed at the four people on the stage and said expressionlessly.

“Yeah, I’ve seen that.” Mo Fan sighed helplessly. The overall strength of Ai Tutu’s team was obviously not as good as the opposing team.

It would be fine if the overall strength is not as good as others, a small gap does not mean that they cannot make a comeback, but the problem is that there is Ai Tutu, a guy who only knows how to play around all day and does not practice magic.

Although Ai Tutu is a mid-level mage, in terms of actual combat power, when Mo Fan himself was still at the beginner level, he was able to beat the mid-level Ai Tutu to a pulp.

Three against four, defeat is only a matter of time.

Two nomination battles have already taken place, with the final one to be held tomorrow.

Even if he got a high score in the last round, due to his lack of participation in the previous competitions, his nomination score was destined not to make the final list.

It can be said that he has no chance of getting the vote from Mingzhu Academy.

I continued to watch the competition on the stage. Within ten minutes, something unexpected happened.

Because of a flash of light from Ai Tutu that hit his teammates, their team was quickly defeated, and then there was an internal fight, with everyone blaming their teammates for their mistakes.

The scolding is very unpleasant...

“Shining teammates…” Mo Fan couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

Even those students in Tianlan Magic School who have awakened light magic and are grumbling about jumping off the building to start over know that they have to control the distance when releasing the light.

He can even make such a low-level mistake. What kind of background does this guy Ai Tutu have that he could be fed and become a mid-level magician?

If Dean Xiao saw this scene, he would probably have a heart attack from anger.

“Excuse me.” Mo Fan sighed, stood up and walked towards the competition field.

No matter what, this is all his own fault, and he has to solve it himself.

"Go ahead." Xu Mu waved his hand, appearing very easy-going.

Mo Fan had just stood firmly on the stage when his phone vibrated. He received a text message from Dean Xiao, asking him to go to the Dean's office.

"Why did Dean Xiao suddenly ask me to go to his office?" Xu Mu muttered, put his phone back in his pocket, said goodbye to Ding Yumian, and walked out.

……

……

Walking along the campus path, Xu Mu noticed a man with dark skin and a tall figure like a sharp sword who was politely asking passing students for directions.

The man was obviously an outsider, not a student of Mingzhu Academy. He had a determination and loneliness that was completely different from other men of his age.

"Is it a military magician?" Xu Mu stopped to observe. The man had a dark complexion. Could he be Ai Jiangtu, the captain of the National Government team whom he had never seen before?

"Thank you very much for your help." Ai Jiangtu politely thanked the student who provided the information, then turned around and looked at Xu Mu with deep eyes.

When his sight fell on Xu Mu, Ai Jiangtu was slightly startled. As the incoming captain of the Guofu team, he knew something about Xu Mu, who was also selected as a reserve player.

A young man who assisted Councillor Zhu Meng in killing the Lord of the Silver Dome in Hangzhou City was incredibly powerful.

If it weren't for the fact that he majored in space magic and had military status, had been through life and death for many years, had rich practical experience, and was suitable to lead a team, the position of captain of the National Government team might have been taken away by Xu Mu.

Ai Jiangtu guessed that Xu Mu might not be familiar with him.

Thinking that he would be sharing the joys and sorrows with his teammates for a year, he hesitated for a moment and felt that he should go up and say hello.

So Ai Jiangtu walked up to Xu Mu and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Ai Jiangtu."

"Hello, my name is Xu Mu." Xu Mu looked at Ai Jiangtu with some surprise. He didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to say hello, but he still politely reached out and shook Ai Jiangtu's hand.

"I've heard about you from my father. You're very powerful. Zhu Meng was able to kill the Silver Dome Lord thanks to you." Ai Jiangtu said.

"What I did was just some insignificant assistance, it was all thanks to the Totem Black Snake." Xu Mu replied modestly. "You are very modest, but it's a pity that I still have to go find my ignorant sister, otherwise I could chat with you for a while longer." Ai Jiangtu said with a little regret.

He actually wanted to know what kind of person Xu Mu was, but unfortunately he came out this time to find his lover Ai Tutu, who had taken a large sum of money from his family to buy demon-slaying tools but didn't know what to do with it.

"Looking for Ai Tutu? Then you'd better go over quickly, she..." Xu Mu was halfway through his speech when he suddenly didn't know what to say next.

Said Ai Tutu was bullied? But if he remembered correctly, it seemed that Ai Tutu was the first to play with other people's future, and the real victim was actually Ai Tutu's teammates.

"What happened to my sister?" Ai Jiangtu asked anxiously with a serious expression.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Ai Jiangtu noticed Xu Mu's hesitation and asked hurriedly.

"It's hard for me to say. You should go and see for yourself. She is at the competition field in front now." Xu Mu pointed to the competition field in the back and said.

"Thank you." Ai Jiangtu nodded and walked quickly towards the competition field.

Xu Mu looked at Ai Jiangtu's departing back and turned to walk towards Dean Xiao's office.

……

director's office!
Xu Mu knocked on the door, and after receiving a response from Dean Xiao, he walked into the office.

In addition to Dean Xiao, there were two other people in the office. One of them had a thick beard and a very serious expression.

"President Xiao, I'm here." Xu Mu greeted and walked into the office. Seeing a middle-aged man with a thick beard sitting on the sofa next to him, he shouted in surprise, "Why are you here too?"

The middle-aged man with a thick beard was Zhu Meng himself, but at this moment he looked extremely tired, with bloodshot eyes, and it was obvious that he had not had enough rest for a long time.

"The congressman came here to look for you," explained Wu Pingjing, the chief palace guard standing nearby.

"Looking for me?" Xu Mu sat down with a hint of doubt and turned his gaze to Dean Xiao.

"I am only a high-level mage, and both of you are super-level mages. What do you want from me?"

"Do you know anything about the recent undead riots in the ancient capital?" Dean Xiao asked.

"I've heard of that." Xu Mu nodded in confirmation.

In fact, he not only knew something about the incident, he even knew why the undead were rioting.

"The ancient capital is in urgent need of reinforcements. Councillor Zhu Meng is organizing a team of mages to go to the ancient capital to deal with the undead riot. I recommended you to him on behalf of Mingzhu Academy." Dean Xiao explained.

"Recommend me?" Xu Mu looked at Dean Xiao speechlessly. Although he would go to the ancient capital no matter what, the meaning of going there actively and going there passively are completely different.

He can't let Dean Xiao arrange his actions at will, otherwise he will just be a tool in the future.

"Dean Xiao, this is not fair. I am just a powerless student. The Undead Rebellion is such a dangerous event. What if a student like me loses his life?" Xu Mu cleared his throat, and the meaning of his words was very obvious.

You can ask me to go, but I have to pay extra!
"Your totem beast is still in the land of the dead. The undead chaos may cause some danger to it if nothing unexpected happens. I suggest you go there." Dean Xiao added.

"When this undead rebellion is over, the election for the president of the Forbidden City will almost be over. When I become the president or vice president, I will give you whatever reward you want." Zhu Meng said unhappily.

He had never seen anyone who loved money as much as Xu Mu, who talked about money every other sentence.

Can't you learn from him and have a bit of selfless dedication?

"Okay then." Xu Mu nodded, then asked doubtfully, "Will the election for the president of the Forbidden City Court last so long?"

The election for the president of the Palace Museum started a long time ago, even earlier than the Hangzhou incident. It has been almost a year now, why hasn’t it ended yet?

“The president of the Imperial Court is responsible for planning cities across the country, and the standards for elections to such an important position are extremely strict.”

"Even if a candidate receives the unanimous support of all legislators, it will take a full year before his or her position is officially confirmed," Wu Pingjing explained patiently.

"You should know more about these things." Zhu Meng glanced at Xu Mu and said.

"I'm not going to be the president of the Palace Museum. If I have to be one, I'll be the chief. Why would I need to know about the president's affairs?" Xu Mu retorted.

"Dean Xiao, I'll take the person away." Zhu Meng did not argue with Xu Mu. He stood up and turned to Dean Xiao and said.

"Yeah." Dean Xiao nodded slightly.

……

……

Under the guidance of Zhu Meng, the three of them walked out of Mingzhu Academy, boarded the congressman's special vehicle, and sped towards the airport.

"You are now half the president after all, and you only have a super-class wizard to protect you?" Xu Mu asked doubtfully.

When Zhu Meng was a member of parliament, he was protected by a captain of the palace guards. Now that he is about to become the president of the Forbidden City, why is he still only protected by Wu Pingjing?

"The number of palace guards is limited, and Wu Pingjing alone is enough to protect me." Zhu Meng rubbed his eyebrows and answered with his eyes closed.

Recruiting people these days has really made him exhausted.

Assembling personnel is not an easy task. It involves in-depth investigation of the dynamics of demons in the surrounding areas, re-evaluation and optimization of the city's defense system, and the formulation of response measures to ensure that if the local city is attacked by demons during the period of personnel mobilization, it can respond effectively.

The principle is to dispatch excess human resources to resolve the undead crisis facing the ancient capital without affecting the defense of the local city.

We cannot hastily transfer manpower from other cities to provide support just because of the undead riots that broke out in the ancient capital and ignore the security needs of these cities.

"The strength of the Senator is much stronger than that of our captain of the palace guards. We cannot protect the Senator." Wu Pingjing, who was driving, said helplessly.

The Captain of the Palace Guards is a combat-type mage. Each of them is very powerful, but their numbers are rare. Not every member of parliament can be equipped with a Captain of the Palace Guards.

For example, Councillor Luo Mian of Hangzhou City is not protected by the Chief of the Palace Guard. Only councillors who have made significant contributions to the country are qualified to be equipped with the Chief of the Palace Guard.

But Zhu Meng is stronger than all the captains of the palace guards. If they really encounter danger, it is not known who will protect whom.

"How is your cultivation?" Zhu Meng asked.

"My thunder system has been perfected. It will be easy to defeat you." Xu Mu yawned and responded nonchalantly.

Zhu Meng's eyes twitched, and he ignored Xu Mu's arrogant words, but carefully estimated Xu Mu's true strength in his heart.

Eighteen times the magic amplification, plus the annihilation effect and domain of the soul thunder...hiss!

Zhu Meng opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Xu Mu, secretly amazed in his heart that this kid's high-level magic has reached the level of super level two!
If he hits this person, I'm afraid he will die immediately. It turns out that the cruelty he mentioned is the cruelty of killing! (End of this chapter)
