Elimination is one of the normal conditions for the National Government training team. The ultimate goal of the National Government training is to participate in the World University Competition, that is, the National Government Competition in the Water City of Nice.

The final competitors in the World Academy Competition must be the youngest and most powerful magicians from the global academies, and the strength of these magicians must start from the high level.

For mid-level magicians, it is difficult to even obtain the qualification to register. They can only participate in one or two training sessions at most. If they fail to reach a high level in these training sessions, they will be eliminated by the rules.

……

The Pacific Ocean is also boundless, but it displays a breathtakingly magnificent blue. It has both an alluring color that makes people yearn for it, and an awe-inspiring mystery and vastness.

There are no islands to embellish the place, and no clouds to cover the sky. It seems as if the whole world is immersed in a huge blue painting, making people lost and unable to distinguish the boundary between the sea and the sky. Only the waves stirred up by the cruise ship passing by prove that the ship is breaking through the waves.

The experience of taking a cruise is indeed monotonous. In this vast ocean, all you can do is look at the sea. After the initial passion faded, everyone who stayed on the cruise ship felt only endless boredom.

……

……

Standing on the edge of the deck, Xu Mu took the magic ring inlaid with sapphire in his hand, carefully feeling the subtle changes brought about by this magic weapon.

In this boundless ocean, the surrounding water elements are extremely dense, which makes the speed of practicing here much faster than other places.

With the help of this magic weapon, he could feel that the stars had become unusually docile, and his control efficiency over the stars had also been significantly improved.

"This magic weapon belongs to a super-class wizard. Could it be Lu Huan's?" Xu Mu stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

What is certain is that this magic weapon was delivered by someone sent by President Han Ji, along with Mo Fan’s damaged feather robe.

In the ancient capital, there are many water magicians, and the most outstanding one is undoubtedly Lu Huan. His move "Sea Emperor Water Roar" can eliminate thousands of undead demons in one fell swoop. His combat power is even more amazing than that of President Han Ji.

Apart from Lu Huan, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would give him such a magic weapon.

It is impossible for President Han Ji to spend a huge amount of money to buy this magic weapon for him again.

Thinking of the three Galaxy Veins he had received as a gift, he already felt embarrassed. And now he received a magic weapon used by a super-class magician. Even if he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Oh my god, what is that underwater!" Jiang Yu suddenly screamed.

The scream woke everyone up from their thoughts. They rushed to the railing and were horrified to find a huge black shadow hiding under the water, like a black hole abyss that could swallow the entire ship at any time!

Although this cruise ship given to them by the Lin Group is not the most luxurious ship, it is more than 30 meters long, equivalent to the size of three buses side by side.

However, compared with the huge black shadow underwater, this cruise ship is like a white dot on black paper, which is enough to show the huge size of this underwater creature.

With a huge body of several hundred meters, this must be at least the size of a monarch-level demon!
Xu Mu also looked down with them. When he saw the black shadow, he remained quite calm. If his memory served him correctly, this black shadow should be Totem Baxia.

Although Ba Xia is not as friendly to humans as the Totem Black Snake, it will not attack humans without reason.

Generally speaking, the black shadow should be quite safe. Of course, the premise of all this is that he is not mistaken, and this is indeed Totem Baxia.

Even if the shadow was not Ba Xia, he was not afraid. His strength was there, and any monarch-level creature, as long as they did not control an endless army of undead like the Lord of the Underworld, would have to bow down before him!

Xu Mu was not afraid at all, but the situation of others was quite different.

Cold sweat slid down his neck. Most of the people on the cruise ship were mid-level mages, and only a few had reached the level of high-level mages.

Even if he was a high-level wizard, even if he was from the military and had seen a lot, the strongest demon he had ever seen was only at the commander level.

For him, the monarch-level demon was a terrifying existence he had never seen before, not to mention the other mid-level mages. At this moment, their legs were trembling slightly under the invisible pressure.

Even though the underwater creature did not emit any breath, its size brought tremendous pressure to the people on the cruise ship, as if at this moment, their lives had been controlled by the underwater monster!

“What…what on earth is this?” Zhao Manyan asked with a stiff expression.

Mo Fan took a breath and said, "It seems to have left."

The shadows under the water gradually dissipated, just like thick ink being diluted in water, and the fear that shrouded everyone's hearts also slowly faded away.

Time seemed to lose its meaning until the sea became clear again and the deep blue came into view again, and then everything seemed real.

Standing on the ship, everyone looked like they had experienced life and death, and some even collapsed directly on the deck, exhausted both physically and mentally.

“Such a huge monster must be at least monarch-level, right?” Nanjue’s voice was filled with disbelief.

Monarch-level creatures... In the Dunhuang Military Region, even in the famous northern corner of the Burning Plain, there has never been any trace of monarch-level creatures.

Who would have thought that a trip overseas would allow her to witness the existence of a monarch-level demon with her own eyes!

“It’s hard to say. It’s still unclear whether it’s a living thing or not. It’s a bit weird. According to common sense, the aura of a monarch-level creature should be quite powerful, but it seems to have no signs of life. It’s even more elusive than the undead.” Mo Fan analyzed.

Guan Yu, who was standing by, couldn't help but sneer when he heard this. He said to Mo Fan with disdain, "You speak as if you have seen a monarch-level creature. As far as I know, it is very easy for a demon as powerful as a monarch-level monster to hide its aura."

“Yes, yes, you are on good terms with the monarch-level demon.” Mo Fan curled his lips and said speechlessly.

Has he rarely seen monarch-level creatures?

From the Totem Black Snake in Hangzhou City to the Silver Sky Lord who has been offline, to the Underworld Lord of the Ancient Capital, and the Corpse of the Mountain, he has even seen existences at the level of Forbidden Spell/Emperor?

He really didn't have much fear towards the monarch-level demons.

"Anyway, it's a good thing that it disappeared. I was really scared." Zhao Manyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone agreed and nodded.

After a brief moment of shock, several water mages in the team reacted quickly and worked together to cast water magic, significantly increasing the speed of the cruise ship.

With the concerted efforts of several people, they managed to increase the speed of the cruise ship to a level close to that of a speedboat.

Before it got completely dark, the cruise ship successfully entered the safe territorial waters of the island nation.

Since it had been registered in advance and the cruise ship itself was marked with the name of the island country, it entered the safe waters of the island country without any hindrance.

Once they entered the safe sea area, they began to see some fishing boats engaged in salvage operations. "Does anyone know the island language?" Mo Fan quickly asked a more critical question.

"Oh no, I don't even know the international language." Xu Mu seemed to suddenly realize something, patted his forehead, and said with a painful look on his face.

"No way, you don't even understand the international language." Zhao Manyan said with a tone of surprise and disbelief.

Even a guy like him who has never been doing his job properly and has been addicted to picking up girls and hanging out in bars all day long can speak the international common language. I really don't know how this guy Xu Mu cultivated to such a high level.

"I thought before that since I have a partner, I can leave all the translation work to her in the future, so that I can avoid the painful process of learning the language." Xu Mu sighed helplessly and explained.

"We have to face what we have to face. We will be abroad for the next year, so you should hurry up and learn the common language." Zhao Manyan patted Xu Mu on the shoulder and said with a gloating tone.

Having to learn the common language during the training period was truly an unprecedented experience for Xu Mu.

It’s not that Xu Mu is completely unfamiliar with the international language. He has mastered some basic vocabulary and can barely understand simple conversations among others in the international language.

However, if he wants to achieve the level of fluent communication... he can only helplessly say that the only thing he can say is "I can't speak English".

"Island language? I know that. My favorite TV series are those from the island country." Jiang Shaoxu smiled and said.

"What a coincidence! We boys also love watching Japanese TV series." Mo Fan nodded and spoke slowly with a hint of meaning in his tone.

Jiang Shaoxu was not an innocent girl. Seeing Mo Fan's malicious smile, she immediately understood what he meant by "island drama".

Then, she rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You rascal!"

"Let's find a place to settle down first. Don't stay here too long. If they find out that we smuggled in from China, we will be in big trouble." Ai Jiangtu reminded.

Just as Ai Jiangtu finished speaking, several Japanese who looked like police officers walked towards them.

They first cast a few glances at the cruise ship docked at the port, and then walked straight towards them, as if ready to ask questions.

"Everyone, be quiet and let me handle this."

Jiang Shaoxu realized that something was wrong and quickly asked everyone else to remain silent, while he took the initiative to step forward and talk to the police officers.

She speaks fluent Japanese, and in terms of tone, manner and temperament, she seems to have instantly transformed into a sexy and charming Japanese woman, making it difficult to tell the difference.

"Don't you understand the island language?" Xu Mu nudged Mo Fan lightly with his elbow and asked in a low voice.

"You overestimate me. I am just as good as you in international languages, only slightly better than you. How could I possibly understand the island language?" Mo Fan responded helplessly.

He was not a person who was keen on learning. What's more, he was born with two talents and needed to devote a lot of time to practice every day, so his level of international common language was quite awkward.

Although Jiang Shaoxu tried her best to negotiate, the Japanese police officer was obviously skeptical about her explanation. With a scrutinizing look in his eyes, he turned to other people and approached them one by one to question them.

However, in the end, it was thanks to the tacit communication in sign language between Nan Jue and Jiang Shaoxu that they managed to get through the interrogation.

……

“We have just landed and are currently illegally staying here. It is best not to provoke the police of the island country. Once the island country’s magic association is alerted, our life will be difficult.” Nan Jue said.

"Yes, we have to get to the place mentioned by the instructor as soon as possible. I wonder how far it is from here to Tokyo." Someone echoed.

Basically everyone thought the same, but Xu Mu's ideas were very different from theirs.

It's so hard to go abroad. If you don't get into trouble, you won't be able to face your fellow countrymen when you return.

After leaving the dock, passing the inspection and entering West Bear City, they were basically safe.

The patrol police of the island country would not look for trouble and stop people to check their ID cards at will. What's more, in their eyes, these people are just a group of ordinary young people.

Since they have no legal status, they cannot stay in guest houses or hotels. They can only go to a temple on a nearby mountain and use the money from incense donations to temporarily stay there for one night.

The temple is called Yanming Temple. It is a typical Japanese temple style. The stone gatehouse is located at the foot of the mountain, and marble steps lead directly to the temple at the top of the mountain.

The temple is not large and there are not many believers coming to worship. Apart from a few Japanese monks, there are only these illegal immigrants.

It wasn't long before it got dark in the temple. Everyone packed their clothes and prepared to rest so they could continue their journey the next day.

There are two huge stone turtle statues in front of the temple, which are similar in size to the stone lions guarding the gate.

While the others were resting and preparing to enjoy the long-lost comfortable beds, Xu Mu quietly slipped out of the temple alone. He wanted to experience the island style at night and feel its unique charm!
Xu Mu had long heard that the island country's gangs were powerful. Although he did not have a good impression of this country, he would not vent his anger on innocent civilians.

So, he set his sights on the gangs in the island country, intending to teach them a lesson.

Murder and arson bring a golden belt, a dark and windy night brings murder.

Of course, Xu Mu is not a bloodthirsty maniac. If the other party is sensible, he will leave him a way to survive.

As soon as he left the temple, Xu Mu saw a beautiful woman with flowing silver hair standing at the stairs in the distance.

Her long silver hair fluttered gently in the evening breeze. Although there was no obvious expression on her delicate little face, Xu Mu could feel that her heart was filled with confusion and sadness, and she felt lost and helpless.

"Ning Xue?" Xu Mu called her.

Mu Ningxue heard Xu Mu's voice, turned around and looked at Xu Mu.

"It's so late, aren't you going to sleep?" Xu Mu asked.

"I can't sleep." Mu Ningxue shook her head.

"Is it because of Mu He?"

“Well, my father and I never thought that he would be a member of the Black Church, and a blue-robed Archdeacon at that.” Mu Ningxue’s tone was flat, without much emotion.
