As they arrived at the Mexican Training Hall, the team could roughly estimate the strength of the representatives from the Training Hall. Mexico? They were fairly strong. It did hinder the team's progress, but they still managed to secure the badge in the end. They were one step closer to entering Venice.
After Mexico was the United States of America.
The United States of America was one of the super countries. Whether they could secure the badge from the Training Hall would be the greatest challenge for the team.
The Magic Association of the Five Continents, the highest Magic Association in the Americas, the Sacred Hall of Liberty, was located in New York, America. It was considered the sacred place of magic in the world, and the members of the Sacred Hall of Liberty were called Sacred Hall Mages. They were highly respected and sought after by the public. For many Mages, becoming a Sacred Hall Mage was their greatest dream.
The Training Hall of the United States of America was located on Liberty Island, where the Sacred Hall of Liberty was located. As such, after securing the badge from Mexico, the team was interested in visiting the Sacred Hall of Magic, to witness the magnificence and awe of the most brilliant place in the world.
…
After arriving in New York, the team immediately headed to the Sacred Hall of Liberty. From the harbor, they could already see a stunning statue of a goddess standing on the ocean. The sacred blue and golden light it was emitting was enough to make anyone want to worship it.
The art of the statue was beyond their imagination. It felt like an ancient Greek goddess was standing there quietly, looking down at the people under the light of freedom with her kind, calm, and peaceful eyes!
"Don't tell me the entire statue is the Sacred Hall of Liberty?" Mo Fan stared at the statue of the goddess and subconsciously recalled the first time he saw the Skyscraping Snake. It was like a skyscraper in the night mist.
Similarly, the statue was almost as big as a skyscraper. According to some information, the Sacred Hall of Liberty was located here. The statue was the Sacred Hall of Liberty, and the statue of the goddess was the Sacred Hall of Liberty!
Similar to the Oriental Pearl Tower, there were sightseeing areas, museums, galleries, and research centers at the base of the statue …
The group took the elevator inside and reached a certain height before arriving at the Hall of Mages.
The Hall of Mages was around the waist of the statue. There were around seven floors, all of which were Halls of Mages. Of course, there were also international facilities for Mages. Different levels of Mages were allowed to access different floors.
After the Hall of Mages, there was another elevator that led directly to the neck of the statue. It was where the Sacred Hall of Liberty was located. It was called the real Sacred Hall of Liberty.
The Sacred Hall of Liberty did not allow visitors to visit it. Only a certain group of people were allowed to enter it. The members of the national team did not have the chance to visit the real Sacred Hall of Liberty. Needless to say, they were astounded after taking a look around the place.
Turning a statue of a goddess into a building. Only the most brilliant Magic Civilization was capable of something like this. England's St. Paul's Cathedral was known as the leader of the Five Continents due to its long history, but the Sacred Hall of Liberty was actually the leader of the Five Continents Magic Associations!
…
After learning that the Chinese team had arrived at Liberty Island, Oleena purposely came to meet Mo Fan in the square below the statue.
Oleena was still wearing the same black and gold outfit. She had a cold and glamorous appearance similar to Northern Europe. She forced a smile when she saw Mo Fan.
Either way, her classmate had helped her solve a huge problem. Casso had been sent to the Sacred Hall of Liberty to be interrogated. Oleena had also earned the Sacred Hall of Liberty's praise.
"I'll bring you to the Training Hall. Strictly speaking, I'm considered half an instructor there," Oleena volunteered.
"Sure, why don't you ask your students to go easy on us since I've done you a great favor?" Mo Fan smiled.
"Humph, go easy on us? Is that what you Chinese like to do? Always trying to use your connections to get in through the back door? " At this moment, a young man with sharp eyes walked over and directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
"He's my brother, Fred. He's also a participant of the Training Hall. You should get to know each other." Oleena smiled apologetically and introduced the young man with brown hair in a friendly manner.
Just like Oleena, her brother Fred had a pair of blue, amber-like eyes. Even though his features were not half as handsome as Mo Fan's, his eyes were enough to enchant many girls in China.
"If you two are brother and sister, there's quite a difference between you two, in terms of etiquette and manners …" Mo Fan could sense Fred's arrogance. He did not hesitate to return the compliment.
"As a matter of fact, I'm just like him. I don't really care about manners when it comes to strangers," Oleena said.
"Does that mean I'm treated differently?" Mo Fan raised his brows. His eyes flickered with a flirtatious look.
Fred could not stand it any further. Flirting with his sister right in front of him? Is this guy asking to die!?
Fred did not have a mother, so his feelings for his sister were rather complicated. Even though he was not overly dependent on his sister, he would not allow a man that he did not like to flirt with her.
In Fred's eyes, Mo Fan was the kind of person that he did not like. He had a frivolous aura, and his clothes were nothing special. On top of that, he had a yellow monkey's face … most hilariously, he was asking the American Training Hall to go easy on them!
"Listen up, don't think the American Training Hall is going to go easy on you. The Red Ornaments Guild and the American Training Hall are two different things. There's no way we'll let useless people like you win our badges. It's an insult to our badges," Fred said angrily.
Mo Fan glanced at Oleena when he saw Fred overreacting.
Oleena was already used to it. She did not say anything, but Mo Fan chuckled and said, "Your brother is quite jealous."
"Yeah, I bet he wants me to stay single for the rest of my life, so I can take care of him," Oleena smiled.
Fred was infuriated by those words.
Deep down in his heart, that was indeed what he thought. But as a man, a man in his twenties, it was a great humiliation to be said to be very dependent on his sister. In the United States, if a six- or seven-year-old boy frequently mentioned "Mommy told me" or "Mommy said", he would be ridiculed by his classmates!
Fred's gaze sharpened as he stared at Mo Fan. Even though he did not say anything, Mo Fan knew he was telling him, You're dead for sure in the American Training Hall!
…
…
When they arrived at the US Training Hall, the observant Jiang Shaoxu noticed that there was a large poster with the flags of many countries on it.
The time was written beside the flags, and there was a huge cross at the end!
"What's this?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
"It's the record of the countries that have come to challenge the American Training Hall," Oleena said casually.
"Does the cross mean they have failed the challenge? No way, the whole page is filled with crosses. Does that mean you've been winning for a long time?" Zhao Manting exclaimed.
The strength of the American Training Hall was most likely stronger than the national teams of some middle- or upper-tier countries. The members of the American Training Hall were under a lot of pressure.
"If you keep flipping to the top page, it's filled with crosses too," Fred said proudly.
Everyone's eyes almost fell out of their sockets when they heard the words.
Zhao Manting began to flip the pages in disbelief. He flipped to the page on the wall. None of the countries that had come to challenge the American Training Hall had a green mark on it!
"It's been so long, yet not a single country has succeeded. This … this is ridiculous!" Jiang Yu blurted out.
Not a single country had succeeded. In other words, the American Training Hall still had an undefeated record.
The National Training Hall was a group of substitutes among the substitutes. So many of the first-team players of the country had suffered a crushing defeat here. This was truly shocking. At the same time, it gave the already uneasy crowd even more pressure!
"Speaking of which, I can understand why all the countries have crossed, since none of them have succeeded, but why is there a cross at the bottom of the page that says the time is today?" Jiang Shaoxu blurted out.
Fred lowered his head and chuckled, "Perhaps the captain knew you were coming, so he wrote down your information. Since it's the same result anyway, he might as well fill it in instead … the captain is the kind of person who will lose his temper even if you take up more than five seconds of his time!"
"Aren't you guys looking down on us a little too much?" Jiang Yu blurted out.
Fred shrugged and said, "You can take a look for yourselves. There are so many countries that aren't any weaker than you, yet none of them have managed to win the challenge badge. Do you really think you can win it? "
"It's not a matter of whether we can win it or not. You're disrespecting us by drawing the result before the fight even begins!" Nanyu spoke up too.
"Respect? It's something that only belongs to the strong, isn't it? Oh, I almost forgot, your country likes to be humble. I'm sorry, we don't really know how to be humble here, nor is it necessary, "Fred said.
"… …"
Oleena could not say anything. Every member of the American Training Hall behaved the same way. After all, the people that were selected to join the Training Hall were basically the type that could do whatever they wanted.
