Complete Crushing

"Rumble!!!"

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

At this moment, Mochizuki Chiyoko, who was expected to turn the tide of battle, was undoubtedly in a much more dangerous situation than anyone else.

She had already used her third armor magic tool, which was also her final defensive measure.

Yet Chen Lang on the opposite side seemed as though his magic power was inexhaustible, unleashing destructive strikes one after another.

What was even more terrifying was that these were clearly high-level magic, but with him, there seemed to be no stalling or hesitation whatsoever!

Her mutated plants didn't even have a chance to stand their ground before Mochizuki Chiyoko, instantly turning into pitch-black powder...

Mochizuki Chiyoko knew very well that if this continued, let alone stalling, she would soon be knocked out and unable to defend herself once her final magic tool broke down.

She did not want this; as a descendant of the Mochizuki Noble Family, how could she allow herself to be eliminated like this?

Watching the precision-strike Lightning Bolt, Mochizuki Chiyoko showed no intention of dodging this time.

"Bang!!!"

"Boom, boom, boom!!!"

"Crack, crack, crack..."

When Chen Lang saw this scene, he couldn't help clicking his tongue in secret!

What a crazy woman. Even though this was just a casual high-level magic he had tossed out, it still carried a sixfold Soul Seed amplification!

Mochizuki Chiyoko's armor magic tool was still decent, successfully withstanding this strike, but even though the magic tool offset most of the destructive force, she was still concussed and injured by the lightning shockwave.

"Ghost Wood Hand!"

Yet instead of pausing at all, she completed the Plant System constellation right in this gap.

"Swish, swish, swish!!!"

Instantly, dense vines grew crazily toward Chen Lang.

"What a ridiculous move, taking my strike head-on just to cast a useless magic?"

"As long as I con—"

"Crack, crack, crack..."

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!!"

However, before Mochizuki Chiyoko could finish speaking, she saw that her Ghost Wood Hand hadn't even fully formed before it was completely pulverized under Chen Lang's lightning magnetic field!

Even though her plants possessed elemental resistance, in the face of Chen Lang's Black Annihilation, this bit of resistance was practically zero...

At the same time, Mochizuki Chiyoko noticed that aside from lightning elements, there was nothing else left in the surroundings!

She even felt that she could no longer trace out a Star Map!

"Do... Domain!!"

Mochizuki Chiyoko's reaction wasn't slow, immediately realizing this was Chen Lang's domain suppression!

"Buzz..."

"Buzz..."

Chen Lang appeared before her out of nowhere.

"In the face of absolute destruction, there is no such thing as restraint."

"You—"

"Rumble!!!"

Before Mochizuki Chiyoko could finish her sentence, her armor magic tool instantly shattered into pieces under this terrifying current.

As for herself, she was directly struck unconscious by the formidable Thunder Power.

Before losing consciousness, Mochizuki Chiyoko was still hoping her teammates could secure ultimate victory...

Yet she did not know that on the distant battlefield, her teammates were faring no better than she was.

They were being completely and unilaterally crushed in one-on-one fights...

The only one doing slightly better was probably that short-statured dark-skinned guy who possessed a Commander level contract beast.

He himself wasn't in bad shape, but his pig-bear had already sustained quite a few injuries!

Watching the other Sakura team members being beaten into submission, Chen Lang thought to himself: Clearly, it wasn't that this generation of the National Academy Team was weak; it could only be said that their luck was truly bad...

Perhaps if they hadn't suffered an initial defeat, and encountered Team USA later instead, Great Xia's members this generation wouldn't all be incompetent.

Earlier on, Chen Lang had pondered.

Regardless of whether it was Zu Xiangtian or Jiang Shaojun, both should be outstanding talents.

He didn't know much about Jiang Shaojun, but given his military background, after the Academy Competition, to dare embark on a solitary path of searching for totems—how bad could he possibly be?

Even though Zu Xiangtian had been pinned to the ground during his duel with Mo Fan, that was only because he was facing a hacker.

At the very least, this match made it clear that the Sakura team as a whole was no match for Great Xia.

Not long after Chen Lang resolved his fight, the second to finish was Dongfang Qing. She looked gentle and quiet, but was undoubtedly also a violent master.

She had blasted Noda Moriki to pieces with sheer, brute force!!!

Before long, Jiang Shaojun and Hua Xuan also disposed of the other two Sakura team members.

In fact, Mind System mages held absolute supremacy in singles matches. The reason Jiang Shaojun's battle took a bit longer to resolve was because he had been assisting Hua Xuan.

Right now, the only one left on the entire battlefield was the short, dark Sakura team member and his heavily battered pig-bear.

With the general trend lost, he very spinelessly chose to surrender.

He certainly didn't think that a half-health Commander level pig-bear alone could withstand the combined ravages of the other five people.

He couldn't even take down Zu Xiangtian by himself.

The final match of Great Xia's preliminary rounds also gave the world a fresh understanding of this ancient Eastern nation!

Were they really weak!?

They weren't weak at all; their initial defeat was merely due to Mu Zhen's greed for merit and rash advancement.

Encountering Team USA in the second match naturally made them seem somewhat oppressed.

Yet looking back at their other matches, it seemed their overall strength was entirely at an upper-tier standard!

When they returned to the lounge, Pang Lai, Chen Jin, and several unfamiliar faces walked over. Pang Lai praised them joyfully, "Very good, all of you performed wonderfully!!!"

Having survived the preliminary rounds and advanced to the Bounty Competition meant they could achieve a good result this year!

To be honest, the opening defeat and the clash with Team USA had once made Pang Lai feel that they would once again hover around the top thirty-two this year.

But now... the tide had clearly turned!

Regardless of which nation's National Academy Team it was, they all needed to form a new understanding of this team!

A middle-aged man with thick facial hair looked at Chen Jin and said, "Elder Chen, your Chen clan is truly formidable this time. Assisted by Bocheng, bringing glory to the academy..."

Chen Jin wasn't being modest either, replying with a smile, "After years of accumulation, it's rare for a capable junior to emerge, so of course we had to send him to bring glory to the country."

An old man with black hair nearby chimed in, "Your family's junior is quite good. How about letting him come to the Imperial Magic Association to gain some experience later?"

Zhu Meng's eyes also lit up, and he immediately said, "I think Old Han's suggestion is viable."

Although Pang Lai didn't speak, his gaze also turned toward Chen Jin.

Entering the Imperial Magic Association was undoubtedly a good thing.

Yet Chen Jin knew what kind of person Chen Lang was; this kid had a rebellious streak in his bones—take his marital affairs, for instance...

He had postponed it for two years for now, but two years later, I'm afraid things still might not go as he wished.

Knowing this full well, Chen Jin still wanted to exercise some indulgence toward him while keeping him restrained.

If not for that, how could he have agreed to let him make a grand fanfare of going to Bocheng to get engaged to that country girl?

No matter which Great Clans it was, certain matters regarding Bocheng could not be concealed during political marriages.

This wasn't a good thing, but as long as it could spur his growth, it was completely acceptable in Chen Jin's eyes!

Just like this Academy Competition, who would dare deny that Chen Lang's arrival had breathed new life into this generation's Great Xia team?

If he had the ability to make the entire noble clan respect his choice in the future, he would be more than happy to see it.

Rules were dead, but people were alive. If he could make the entire family comply by that time, it would mean he had already reached the pinnacle!

Chen Jin truly didn't care how much trouble he stirred up; after all, he shared the Chen surname and was part of the direct line of the Chen clan...
