When a new student entered the school, the first thing the thirty-five teachers did was not to warmly welcome them or introduce themselves, but to draw lots!
Tang Shidao expressed that he was a newbie and didn't understand what was going on.
Next to him.
Fei Qiu said, "Mr. Tang, they're deciding who will leave the team and go to the endless void as backup soldiers. Because Hunter Academy has a rule, teams that are too weak must be in groups of five to help each other. Normally, going to the endless void requires the strength of a Law Emperor or above. Those below the Grandmaster level can only stay in the academy to do missions and teach the new students. "
Tang Shidao immediately noticed that there were thirty-five teachers. Five people in a group, just enough to form seven teams.
He wasn't joining as a student, but as a hunter.
Therefore, thirty-six people meant that one person was extra, and the extra person could join the battlefield in the endless void in an 'abnormal mode'.
"Hahahaha …" A goat man laughed loudly, raised his head, and waved his fist. He was so happy that he couldn't speak.
"I hope you can only live for three days."
"Remember to send a message before you die. I'll go collect your body."
"Tell me where you want to bury it. I'll go burn some incense."
The 'teachers' who didn't draw lots all gave their blessings. The goat man ignored all the curses and immediately prepared to leave, as if he was afraid that everyone would go back on their words. Before he left, he told Tang Shidao his name, saying that if he had the chance in the future, he could come find him and he would protect him.
Actually, names were meaningless. His name was simply a goat man.
The purpose of the name was to connect.
The names on the Mage Network had a special connection. Even if he met a thousand 'goat man' mages in the future, Tang Shidao could tell who was the one he knew based on the previous information. For example, Green-eyed Fox and Meimo. Their names were very common. When the message came, the person who was also called Green-eyed Fox but was not a friend could tell at a glance.
The drawing of lots was completed.
The thirty-four teachers introduced themselves, reported their names, and recorded their relationship with each other.
Then, the thirty people dispersed.
The remaining four people just happened to be in the group that the goat man left.
"My name is Lan Ji." The leader of the remaining four people was a woman with light blue skin. She was 80% similar to a human. Her hair was soft and had a long snake-like tail. Apart from these two points, she was no different from a human. Her light blue skin had a very smooth feeling, as if it hadn't dried yet. Occasionally, there were a few spots of starlight.
"I'm Tang Shidao." Tang Shidao stretched out his hand and grasped it. It felt very soft, as if there were no bones.
"Ha, it's actually you, the number one person below the Grandmaster level." Lan Ji was overjoyed. She felt like she had hit the jackpot. She then introduced the three robots beside her. "These three are Big Guy, Medium Guy, and Small Guy. The names are arbitrary. Anyway, the tallest one is Big Guy, and the smallest one is Small Guy. "
Tang Shidao was speechless, but he could understand.
A three-meter-tall golden robot, it must be a big fellow. A 2.5 meter tall silver robot, it was definitely big. As for the remaining two-meter-tall bronze robot, it could only be a small one … With such a strange trio gathered together, it would be strange if they did not form a team.
Even if they weren't originally a team, they would split up and form a team.
"They're easy to understand. They're all magic turrets in battle. They're focused, single-minded, and persistent. As long as they lock onto their opponent, they won't stop until they're dead. As for me, I'm also a magic turret. I don't like close combat. I like to watch my enemies slowly turn into ice sculptures from afar. "Lan Ji introduced herself.
Since they were teammates, it was necessary for them to understand each other.
Magic turret.
That was the same type of person as Meimo.
"I'm better at summoning spells and transformation spells. I also dabble in alchemy and refining a little." Tang Shidao did not say too much. He believed that Lan Ji and the others already knew that he had a mage certificate and a great spell. The number one person below the Grandmaster level sounded like the 'number one in the novice village,' but it also indirectly showed that one's strength was not just for show.
I'm number one to a certain extent.
"I heard that Dean Bai Xiang personally summoned you?" Lan Ji asked again.
"Yes."
"You don't seem surprised. Dean Bai Xiang hasn't personally summoned anyone for thousands of years. At most, it's a shadow message. Tell me, what did he ask you to do? "Lan Ji laughed.
"Two things. The first is to participate in the Hunter Course. The second is to participate in the Great Mage Challenge. "Tang Shidao said frankly.
"Very good. Sure enough, I knew that Dean Bai Xiang had this intention. You know, we haven't participated in the Great Mage Challenge for thousands of years. To be able to become a Hunter, one has to be at least a Grandmaster … No, there are only two or three people who can become Grandmasters. The ones who can really kill Inverse Mages are usually Law Emperors. So, we haven't participated in the Great Mage Challenge for a long time. "
Tang Shidao did not refute.
But in his heart, he thought, if you deliberately use your mana to buy and buy, the scarecrow can make you into a negative asset in a minute.
Not to mention a Great Mage, you can even transform into a beginner Mage.
However.
The Hunters shouldn't be so shameless. In any case, they are awesome people who have killed Inverse Mages. Is there a need to compete with a group of children for the Great Mage's trophy … Wait, wouldn't that make him a shameless person who 'punches kindergarten and kicks nursing home'?
Although he was also a Great Mage.
It felt.
It felt like bullying a child.
"I'll take you to sign up. Remember to get at least the top three. I want to bet heavily." Lan Ji was more anxious than Tang Shidao and pulled him out.
The three big guys naturally had no objections.
They were originally magic machine dolls, but for some reason, the Mage Network recognized them as a living race. As a mage in rotation, they still did not change their nature. They still obeyed the rules like machines. Lan Ji was the captain, so of course they would listen to the captain.
Tang Shidao felt a little strange in his heart.
Top three?
Did Lan Ji mean that he might not be able to win the championship?
"Little Tang, the Great Mage Challenge is not a practical training. It doesn't matter if you lose one or two rounds. You will only be out if you lose three rounds in the same round. You have to be careful of two people. One is called Old Gu, he is an ancient elf and is especially good at magic. The other is called Flash Guard, it is the race of Wind Åling and is especially good at speed. Other than them, you should be fine as long as you are careful of the rest. "Lan Ji pulled Tang Shidao to sign up and specially gave him two sets of information.
"Is this considered cheating?" Tang Shidao could not help but ask.
"No, this is called knowing yourself and your enemy. Who in the academy doesn't know about Old Gu and Flash Guard? Only a newcomer like you doesn't know. Little Guy, have you heard anything? "Lan Ji turned to ask the bronze robot, indicating that everything was based on his inept advisor.
"Someone in the academy has placed a bet that Tang will not last five rounds." Little Guy answered seriously.
Tang Shidao was surprised. "Why do I feel like they are deliberately targeting me?"
Lan Ji nodded. "Of course. I asked Big Guy to send a message that there is a hunter participating and is preparing to crush them, so they are particularly enthusiastic. "
Tang Shidao looked at Lan Ji and thought, are you related to Scarecrow? You even tricked your own people.
Lan Ji said matter-of-factly, "I am giving you a little pressure. With pressure, there is motivation."
Tang Shidao nodded … … Yes, he had learned how to be shameless.
It had to be said.
The Mage Academy was completely different from ordinary schools. The competition was just a competition. There was no need to prepare, organize, or plan at all.
The academy only asked Tang Shidao: Are you free? Come and participate in the first round if you are free.
Then.
Tang Shidao and Lan Ji were teleported to the academy's arena.
Outside a huge arena, a magic shield separated the outside from the inside. In the circle closest to the outside, there was a magic artifact ring inscribed with 'Sandstorm Pseudo Realm'. There was no need for him to enter the arena. As long as Tang Shidao touched the magic ring, a 'Tang Shidao' would be automatically generated in the arena to participate in the competition.
In the battle, this' Tang Shidao 'shaped by sandstorm would have the same spells as the real person.
In fact.
This was not a real copy, but a kind of illusion. The 'reality' created by the Sandstorm Pseudo Realm was similar to a holographic movie, because sand was shaped like real people fighting. The spells cast were also illusions. If a sand-shaped Tang Shidao knew forbidden spells, then the Sandstorm Pseudo Realm would be the most terrifying spell in the entire Mage Network.
So.
This was impossible. The Sandstorm Pseudo Realm was only a half-real illusion.
Before the start of the competition, the teachers and students of Hunter Academy also cast a look of amazement. They knew very well what kind of existence hunters were and what hunters had done. A competition was a competition, and the outcome was the outcome. It did not hinder their respect for hunters.
"Please enlighten me, Mr. Tang." The first opponent was not a young man, but a middle-aged lake monster.
It was very polite.
Because the mages outside the net were very different from the mages inside the net. The former needed self-study, while the latter only needed to buy and buy. No matter how short the young man's cultivation time was, his growth was not comparable to the mages outside the net.
In the beginning.
The lake monster cast Stone Man, Fire Rain, Demon Flame Wolf, and Frost Armor.
Everyone watched.
They were guessing how Tang Shidao, the hunter, would deal with the situation.
In just one second.
Tang Shidao flashed behind the lake monster and waved the Ice Ring Blade. The lake monster's head flew out, and its body turned into sand and scattered. Less than twenty meters outside the arena, the real lake monster was stunned. It smiled bitterly and its hands left the competition ring.
The sand-shaped figures and the illusion in the arena scattered. The first round of the competition was officially over.
Soon.
Tang Shidao accepted the second round. His opponent was the lizard man.
In order to prevent a sneak attack, it cast Leaf Blade, Ice Mist, and Electric Pillar at the beginning to ensure that no one could get close to it. No one guessed Tang Shidao's method. The lizard man who had just finished casting Electric Pillar was penetrated in the head by a Fiery Ray. It fell to the ground and turned into sand.
Fifteen meters away, the lizard man's hands left the competition ring. It looked a little regretful.
It wanted to say: I haven't shown my true ability yet.
But the reality was: you were already dead.
This was a competition in the Sandstorm Pseudo Realm. You were only alive. It was a real battle of life and death. If you were dead, how could you show your ability?
"Let me give it a try."
The legendary ancient elf, Old Gu, signaled the third person to move aside. He put his hands on the competition ring and generated his own competition clone in the arena. Tang Shidao did not mind and entered the arena. Old Gu cast Vine Garden to protect itself and cast Bee Swarm to disturb the enemy.
Two Fiery Rays broke Old Gu's neck and waist.
However, Old Gu, who was wrapped in vines, did not die and turn into sand. Obviously, this was not the real him.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
They realized that the idol in their hearts was still awesome.
Tang Shidao summoned a pack of fierce wolves. They broke through the Bee Swarm and pounced on Old Gu, who was "one with the vine". At this moment, sharp thorns suddenly shot out from the ground and pierced through the pack of fierce wolves. This kind of trap tactic was aimed at Tang Shidao's close-range assassination.
"Good." The teachers and students cheered.
The next second.
The corpses of the fierce wolves flashed with green light. With a boom, the entire Vine Garden was instantly blown to pieces.
Outside the arena.
The teachers and students cheered so hard that they could not close their mouths.
Was it a Corpse Explosion Spell that was set up in advance?
A premeditated attack?
The ancient elf, Old Gu, also left the competition ring with his hands. He was speechless for a long time. He looked at Tang Shidao and bowed gently. "Thank you for your guidance. I hope to fight again next time."
Tang Shidao nodded slightly.
He realized in his heart that these mages outside the net were actually not bad. They were comparable to the thunder rock monster Meimo and the others.
