Battle!
"The most basic trust between people?" Tang Miao looked at Ailin with an innocent expression and said calmly.
To be honest, for a moment Ailin even wondered if she was really overthinking things.
Seeing the hesitation on Ailin's face, Tang Miao remained silent. After all, saying too much now would only make things harder to undo if it were discovered later.
Therefore, he can be vague, but he absolutely cannot choose to continue lying.
"I... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Ailin felt she had been a bit rash, like a little girl who had done something wrong, and said with her head down.
"It's okay, I'm not the kind of person who's petty."
Tang Miao responded without blushing or panting, and then casually pulled Ailin into his arms, offering her comfort.
He silently thought to himself, "Ailin, I should really be the one saying sorry..."
Having received the response she longed for, Ailin felt somewhat better. She then said softly, "I'm going back to meditate. Perhaps I'll run into you in two days~"
"So, are you ready to admit defeat?"
Ailin felt offended by what Tang Miao said...
However, recalling the man's overwhelming power during the Treasure Hunt Competition, she felt as if there was truly no chance of victory.
Otherwise, how could Ailin have been so easily won over?
Although she felt it was unlikely, Ailin still said very seriously, "I will do my best, and I think my teammates will too. I don't expect you to hold back!"
Tang Miao looked at Ailin and nodded.
He never intended to show any mercy; the girl's imagination is a bit too vivid.
After lingering there for a while, Ailin left.
Although she was reluctant to leave, she really needed to go back and recuperate to restore her magical energy.
Moreover, Ailin was certain that if she didn't leave soon, the rest of the night would be wasted...
On the third day, the second round of the finals finally began. The four teams in the winners' bracket competed against each other, and the four teams in the losers' bracket competed against each other, and then the winners and losers were determined.
However, in the loser's bracket, whoever wins or loses is no longer relevant to Tang Miao and his team.
The good rankings they strive for simply mean more resources for their own country.
Huaxia's performance in the first round raised high expectations, and in the second round, by sheer coincidence, they were drawn against the British Team, which many considered a strong contender for the championship.
United Kingdom's strength is extremely formidable, especially that of Zhe Luo, who is ranked number one. Countless people describe him as unfathomable. Even his teammate, Ailin, always felt that he was like an alien.
Even now, he hasn't shown his full strength yet... and just how strong Zhe Luo really is remains a mystery.
The British Team is very strong. Not only did they United Kingdom Dzeiro in first Zhe Luo, but they also occupied two of the top ten spots: seventh and ninth United Kingdom.
Faced with this situation, Feng Li only thought of giving up on this game...
Unfortunately, Jiang Shaoxu, Zhao Manyan, Ai Jiangtu, and Nan Jue have not yet recovered.
The only players who can play are Tang Miao, Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, Mo Fan, Mu Tingying, Nan Rongni, Jiang Yu, Guan Yu, Dongfang Lie...
Putting aside their complete lack of strategy, these people's defenses are incredibly weak. Although their destructive power is formidable, how can they possibly fight if the opposing Mind Mage intervenes to restrain the Destruction Mage?
"Boss, why give up? Just keep fighting. Besides, those so-called powerful countries are nothing special in my eyes." Tang Miao naturally didn't want to give up; winning the championship in one go was what he wanted.
The main problem is that I bragged to Ailin, and if I admit defeat now, how will I maintain my dignity in the future?
"Nonsense!"
Feng Li's face hardened, and he sternly rebuked, "In one-on-one combat, your strength is indeed beyond doubt. However, this is a team battle, and this time the opponent you are facing is very likely the champion team."
Most importantly, our defensive mages and Mind Mage need time to recover. Fighting a powerful nation at this time would be futile.
Once you're targeted by Mind Mage, what good is your strength?
If we try our best and still lose this match, then we'll have no chance of making the top three. Do you understand?
Tang Miao shrugged and said, "You're boosting the enemy's morale while diminishing our own. Not only will we fight this battle, but I can guarantee victory!"
"Why can't you explain it clearly!" Feng Li said, somewhat annoyed.
Do you really think those Mind Mages are just sitting around doing nothing?
Having made it this far, there's no way they can be considered slackers anymore.
"Boss, let me tell you a secret. At this stage, the influence of Mind Element mages on me isn't actually that great." Tang Miao's mental strength is now almost at level eight.
In addition, his speed in describing constellations is so fast that if he can send the opponent's Mind Element mage into action as soon as he makes a move, then even the slightest itch won't bother him.
Feng Li wanted to say something more, but Tang Miao showed no intention of continuing the idle chatter.
What a load of bull! What a load of bull!
They were both students of the National Academy, yet he called himself the strongest. This was utterly disrespectful to someone his father was.
Helpless, Feng Li looked at the others.
That's like asking, who's willing to play?
Mu Ningxue was the first to step forward.
She had no reason not to trust Tang Miao. And regardless of victory or defeat, she believed that what was meant to happen would happen sooner or later!
The second person is naturally Mu Nujiao. In truth, she's gotten this far thanks to Tang Miao's help. There was even a period when this man didn't participate in any of the trials because of her...
Moreover, she didn't think that being with Tang Miao would lead to defeat.
Zhe Luo is a magical genius, very powerful? Does that mean Tang Miao is a good-for-nothing?
His power is beyond comprehension... almost entirely beyond the understanding of normal people.
After the two women stepped forward, the others also expressed their willingness to fight.
For no other reason than that they were betting that Tang Miao could be even more monstrous.
In the end, Feng Li had no choice but to agree.
The lineup for the match has been confirmed.
Besides Tang Miao, the others are Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, Jiang Yu, Dongfang Lie...
As for Mo Fan, Guan Yu, and Mu Tingying, who were stronger, Feng Li kept them behind. It wasn't for any other reason than that he still couldn't be sure that Tang Miao and the others could definitely defeat the British Team.
Moreover, this isn't the end, so we can't gamble everything on it.
