The other islanders expressed their anger towards Xu Mu and gnashed their teeth, but only Wangyue Mingjian maintained the gentle attitude he had when he entered the door from beginning to end. He didn't mind Xu Mu's reckless behavior at all, and showed his good self-cultivation as always.

This unexpectedly gentle attitude really opened the eyes of the members of the National Team. They never expected that Mochizuki Mingjian could show such extraordinary patience and tolerance.

"Please rest assured, I'm not impulsive enough to kill anyone. Just ask a magician who is good at healing to come. They will just have to stay in the hospital for ten days or half a month at most." Xu Mu said comfortingly.

……

……

The diamond-shaped arena was suspended in the sky, with its three sharp corners pointing straight to the sky, like a mysterious stage standing in the air, protected only by an invisible barrier, without any actual guardrails.

Although the fighting arena looks weak and gives the illusion of being flaky, it is actually supported by solid stone underneath, ensuring the stability of its structure.

In this fragile yet spacious battlefield, if the material is not hard enough, it will easily fall apart under the tide of magic.

"You don't have to worry about the Lingdoutai being broken by our magic collision." A female student from an island country explained:

"It is carefully crafted from gray crystal. Its hardness far exceeds any magical power you can exert. Therefore, it will not be easily destroyed."

"Since you are a distinguished guest, please choose your opponent first." Teacher Xinzi focused his eyes on Ai Jiangtu and suggested.

Ai Jiangtu replied calmly: "The candidates have been decided. The three of them will come to compete with the members of your country's pavilion."

These three people are Xu Mu, Jiang Shaoxu and Guan Yu, who have already locked on their opponents. They are ready and armed.

"Didn't we make it clear in the banquet hall earlier?" said the blond Okamoto Takashi in a slightly provocative tone.

"The rules are that you choose five people, and then you five people randomly choose five of us to have five single-player duels. Don't you even know the basic rules?"

"The rules are five matches. As long as we win three, won't that count as our victory?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

An island officer in military uniform raised his thick eyebrows slightly, and his eyes were already flashing with anger. He asked:
"So, you only selected three people to participate in the competition?"

"In fact, I'm the only one actually participating in the competition. The two of them are backups in case I hit too hard." Xu Mu stepped into the arena, his eyes like an eagle, scanning the players from the island country's national pavilion sharply, his tone calm and confident.

"There are only five of you. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. You can all come together and anyone of you can participate."

"You are such an arrogant guy, do you think you are so great?" Okamoto Matsu rushed into the fighting arena angrily, pointing at Xu Mu and scolding him loudly.

Xu Mu frowned slightly and muttered something in his heart. Then Okamoto Takashi's fingers twisted strangely, bleeding and revealing white bones, shocking everyone present.

Gangben Song howled in pain, and his voice echoed in the West Guard Pavilion. His screams could be heard in almost every corner.

Xu Mu did not give him time to breathe. Immediately afterwards, another powerful force hit him directly in the face, knocking him back to where the island players gathered.

"His strength is pitifully low, but he talks a lot of nonsense." Xu Mu commented with disdain.

"The game hasn't officially started yet, how can you launch an attack without authorization!" Someone from the island country stood up and angrily accused Xu Mu.

"So the game hasn't started yet. Then my previous actions don't count. It doesn't matter. You can continue to send five players to compete with me."

Xu Mu said with an indifferent attitude.

"You Chinese people are indeed despicable villains!" The island country's military commander cursed angrily, feeling extremely indignant at Xu Mu's sneak attack.

Before the game started, the Chinese side deliberately attacked and injured one of their strong students, and acted as if it didn't matter afterwards, which made him furious.

"Why do you think I'm despicable and deliberately hurt your top player? How about this, you go into battle yourself, replacing that weak rookie, and compete with me?" Xu Mu stared at Junsi coldly, with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"But you have to think it through beforehand. I won't show mercy just because you're a military commander. If there are any casualties, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Is this guy crazy? He is a military commander, at least a high-level wizard, maybe even a super-level wizard!"

"Captain, aren't you going to stop him?"

The National Government team was already in chaos. They thought Xu Mu's actions were crazy enough, but they didn't expect that he now wanted to challenge the super-class magician!

That's a super-class wizard!

Among their group, only four or five people have reached the level of high-level mages, and the rest remain at the intermediate level.

"Boy, since you want a lesson, I will satisfy you."

The military commander of this island country also had an extremely violent temperament. From the moment Xu Mu and his party stepped into Shuangshou Pavilion, he was filled with displeasure towards this group of people.

Add to that the previous conflict with Mochizuki Chisaki outside the Soshou Pavilion, as well as the sarcasm at the dinner table, if it weren't for the constraints of his status, he would have taught this group of people a lesson long ago.

And now, someone happened to come to him and give him a chance to teach him a lesson, which he naturally would not miss.

"That's it!" Wangyue Mingjian ordered the military commander sternly, "Go back and sit down, and watch your mouth. If you do it again, I think it's time for you to give up your position as military commander."

The status of the famous sword Wangyue was obviously extraordinary. As soon as he opened his mouth, the originally angry military commander immediately retreated. Even though his heart was filled with anger, he did not dare to cast even one extra glance at Xu Mu.

Wangyue Mingjian looked at Xu Mu and said, "The game continues, my friend, please follow the referee's instructions next time."

"Your people are so long-winded. I, who don't understand the common language very well, am almost annoyed by their nagging." Xu Mu complained while picking his ears.

"Five contestants, please quickly select your candidates. We have to hurry to Tokyo. After the game, we will go back to rest and go to Tokyo tomorrow." Xu Mu urged.

Fujikata Nobuko laughed contemptuously and said to Xu Mu: "Are you really going to pick five players as your opponents? I must remind you that our guards are not inferior to the training team. The five of them can even fight against the commander-level demons together."

"A commander-level demon is really powerful! Hurry up and call five people. In the country, even a monarch-level demon will run away when he sees me. I don't even take a commander-level demon seriously." Xu Mu said impatiently.

Under Xu Mu's urging, the other side quickly sent out five players.

I don’t know whether it was because Mochizuki Chixun informed them in advance about Xu Mu’s information and strength, or for some other reason, these five players are the five strongest defenders of the island country’s national pavilion.

However, their cultivation was all at the intermediate level, and none of them had reached the high level.

The two sides were on the verge of a fight, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, waiting for Nobuko Fujikata's order. As Nobuko Fujikata announced the start, the magic light instantly bloomed, like stars, making the entire night look like a dream.

"Hmph, I want to see what you are capable of."

A man with a mustache looked at Xu Mu with disdain. He raised his right hand, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Then a blue lightning streaked across the sky and struck Xu Mu straight away.

"Giant Shadow Nail!"

Xu Mu just looked up at the blue lightning, when suddenly, an extremely huge black nail appeared behind him and pierced straight into his shadow.

The giant shadow nail suddenly exploded, transforming into countless dark binding forces that tightly bound his body.

"Fierce Fist - Banging the Sky!"

After the giant shadow nails bound him tightly, an island woman in a JK uniform floated lightly in front of Xu Mu.

A turquoise breeze surrounded her, a fiery red star map appeared silently under her feet, and purple flames surged in her fists.

As she swung her punch fiercely, flames pounced towards Xu Mu like a mad dragon. At the same time, the lightning lingering in the sky also fell towards him like the messenger of death.

Fujikata Nobuko was not exaggerating. The strength of these mid-level mages was indeed not to be underestimated. Their cultivation had already reached the mid-level perfection realm.

It can even exert combat power close to that of a high-level magician.

They cooperate with each other seamlessly, and the connection between magic and attack methods are carefully designed, which can not only attract the enemy's attention, but also carry out deadly sneak attacks.

For some weaker commander-level demons, with the help of magic tools, magic weapons and the consumption of time, they are even capable of defeating them.

"Telekinesis - air shield!"

Xu Mu's eyes flashed with silver-white light in an instant. With his powerful will, he controlled the spatial forces in the arena and condensed these forces into a solid barrier, which not only blocked the attacks from overhead, but also protected the road ahead.

At the same time, he cleverly used the power of space to gradually disintegrate the giant shadow nails that restricted his movements.

If he was only facing a few giant shadow spikes, Xu Mu could remove the obstacles without using space magic. However, the opponent's shadow mage was extremely cunning, hiding in the dark and constantly releasing giant shadow spikes, as if this was his only means of survival.

"The game is over!" Xu Mu said softly. He raised his palm and quickly released a magic constellation, condensing a purple-red light ball in his palm.

He threw the ball of light to the ground with his backhand. In an instant, a dazzling purple-red light burst out, accompanied by sparks and crackling thunder. A powerful energy spread in all directions from the place where the ball of light landed.

Even though Xu Mu had restrained himself and the players from the island nation were equipped with armor and magic tools, they were still unable to withstand the impact of this destructive energy.

It destroyed their armor and magic tools, knocking them away, crashing into the barrier of the arena, causing waves of golden ripples on the barrier.

"Hiss, the battle was resolved so quickly, and his control over lightning was so amazing. Where on earth did this guy Xu Mu come from? Why haven't I heard of his name in the past few years? Could he really be a commoner who swore it?"

A game determines the outcome, and it does not live up to the arrogance before

After the competition ended, everyone returned to their residences to rest. It was obvious that Xi Shouge was deeply impressed by the strength of the government members.

Late at night...

"Woooooo~~~~~"

"Woooooooo~~~~~"

On the upper pavilion, a red warning light suddenly fell, followed by a series of rapid and sharp alarms, like wartime alarms, breaking the tranquility of the night.

The red light and the alarm made the originally sleepy West Guard Tower suddenly become noisy and restless. The guards were awakened from their sleep one after another, and they shuttled through the stairs and corridors, quickly gathering at the top of the watchtower.

These noises naturally alarmed the members of the government. Others walked out of the rooms and stood in the corridors or courtyards, with expressions of confusion and worry on their faces.

“It seems like a demon is attacking. They should be able to deal with it, right?” Zhao Manyan whispered to himself.

"Looking at the situation, not all personnel have been dispatched, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Ai Jiangtu replied.

"Go back and rest. We have to go to Tokyo tomorrow. It's so late now, don't disturb everyone's sweet dreams." After saying this, Xu Mu turned around and went back to his room.

……

The next afternoon, the National Government team set off for Tokyo.

As is customary, their identities were still frozen, so they could not use the real-name train tickets, so they had to take the subway to the eastern suburbs of Osaka and then take a bus to Tokyo.

Xu Mu originally planned to discuss with the students and instructors of the National Pavilion on Osaka Island, hoping that they could help buy some train tickets, but after learning that this was a training mission for the National Team, these people refused to help.

It is worth mentioning that a new member has been added to the team going to Tokyo this time, she is Chisaki Mochizuki, the daughter of Mochizuki Meiken.

Most people were confused and puzzled by her joining, but did not show any overt hostility.

The bus was moving very slowly and it took a while to get onto the highway. Some houses could be seen along the way, indicating that this was a defended security area.

……

After a long drive, the bus finally entered the highway.

Along the way, they could see some houses dotted among the green fields, which also hinted that there was a strict defense system here.

The fatigue of the journey gradually set in. After all, if you choose to take a bus from Tokyo to Osaka, it will be a very long journey, even if the whole journey is on the highway.

"When we get to Tokyo, I'll take you to some fun places to relax." Jiang Shaoxu saw that everyone was a little listless, so he spoke to comfort them.

"Jiang Shaoxu, after we arrive in Tokyo, we must immediately go to the Naval Battle City." Ai Jiangtu immediately expressed a different opinion, as if pouring a bucket of cold water on everyone.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It won't be a big deal if you postpone it for a day." Jiang Shaoxu's voice still retained her unique charm and gentleness. (End of this chapter)
