Battle Before the War

The fight between the two was only serious for Zu Xiangtian; for Tang Miao, it was a matter that could be resolved in a few rounds.

But looking at his current state... Tang Miao thought that maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to play along with him. After all, several girls were glaring at her because of this jerk...

He disappeared for a few days, and the girls assumed he was in seclusion, but now...?

Is this a period of seclusion?

They all saw him come out of the back mountain with a beautiful foreign woman.

Thankfully, her back isn't so bad anymore; otherwise, Tang Miao thinks tonight's celebration banquet would have been a nightmare...

After the vice mayor gave his opening speech, it was Tang Miao and Zu Xiangtian take the stage.

"As a witness, I hope these two promising young magicians can have a friendly competition, stopping short of a full-blown duel." After his speech, the deputy mayor looked at the two and asked, "Is there anything you two would like to say to each other?"

"Stop talking nonsense and let's get started. It's just bullying some noobs, what's there to say?" Tang Miao waved his hand and said.

Previously, everyone only saw how arrogant and domineering Zu Xiangtian was, but after hearing what Tang Miao said, everyone was stunned...

Upon hearing Zu Xiangtian's face instantly turned ashen!

This is fucking stomping on newbies!

He's really been holding back for far too long!

At this moment, he was silently thinking that no matter who was watching or what, Tang Miao had to be crippled!

The location of Ai Jiangtu and others from the National Team.

They were all dumbfounded after hearing Tang Miao's opening line...

"Although Zu Xiangtian isn't very famous domestically, he's quite well-known internationally. Moreover, the Magic Association says he's a leader among the youth, so he can't be too bad. Why does Tang Miao make him sound like a weakling..."

After learning about Tang Miao's duel with Zu Xiangtian, Ai Jiangtu had some understanding of him. Among his peers, Tang Miao was probably the only one who dared to underestimate him so much.

"Although Zu Jiming is a complete waste, Zu Xiangtian is genuinely strong. However... when he encounters someone like Tang Miao, who is not human, he might not be able to handle him."

Guan Yu had a good relationship with Zu Jiming before. He also knew something about the Zu Family. Zu Xiangtian was indeed a powerful figure.

But Tang Miao's performance during the trip to Tianshan was truly awe-inspiring.

Even though he was unwilling to fall behind, he still had a good understanding of his own limitations.

"Guan Yu, I didn't expect you to be so realistic," Jiang Yu said with a smile.

At this moment, Tang Miao had already inquired about the Zu Xiangtian's family, asking if they were still alive...

To be honest, given his current reputation, saying these things is indeed somewhat inappropriate, but someone like Tang Miao wouldn't care about such things.

He's never been one to value reputation or face that much; otherwise, how could he be so unconcerned about all the things Zu Xiangtian did behind Tang Miao's back to ruin her reputation?

They didn't even try to salvage their reputation?

"Ahem, gentlemen, your voices are amplified. Could you perhaps say something more positive? After all, your duel is attracting the attention of the International Magic Association," the deputy mayor said in a low voice, his face dark.

He didn't expect the two of them to start arguing...

Is this positive energy?

The Magic Association advertised it as a friendly sparring match between two young mages, okay?

Isn't this a slap in the face?!

"Tang Miao, you've done so many shady things, and you're always calling yourself the number one person in the country. I think your days are number one!" After hearing the deputy mayor finish speaking, Zu Xiangtian suddenly pointed at Tang Miao and recited the lines he had prepared in the script.

It should be noted that Zu Xiangtian had previously spent a great deal of effort to smear Tang Miao, and the public loves to watch the excitement and make a fuss. Therefore, Zu Xiangtian used the pretext of punishing a shameless person, a hypocrite, and someone who uses false strength.

However, Tang Miao didn't seem to care about this at all.

He glanced at Zu Xiangtian, then looked at the deputy mayor, took the microphone from him, and looked at all the spectators who had come to watch the game, saying, "Let me just say a few words. I'm not a good person, nor am I some heinous criminal. Anyone who tries to outdo me in front of me, I'll definitely beat them up."

But being kicked into the street by an old lady, or resorting to childish tricks like scamming for food and drinks... those have nothing to do with me. There's nothing I, Tang Miao, have done that I wouldn't admit to. And if I didn't do it, no matter who says it, I won't admit it.

Furthermore... I don't care if any of you Zu Xiangtian, I'll just say one thing: if you dare to spread rumors about me again, I'll make sure you're all punished, not one of you will be spared!

"If you want a challenge, be fair and square. Don't be like this weakling, afraid of my good reputation and resorting to underhanded tactics before the fight. But what good will it do? In the end, you're nothing but a clown. Finally, what nonsense about being the number one among the youth! I am the number one under the forbidden spell. Anyone who disagrees, no matter how old, come and fight!"

After saying that, Tang Miao tossed the vice mayor's microphone to him.

The entire arena was deathly silent. Just moments before, it had been as noisy as an approaching tsunami; now, the only sound on the old battlefield was the gentle lapping of the waves. It was utterly quiet now...

A deathly silence...

Even Tang Yue and the other girls thought Tang Miao was overdoing it...

Those old fogies from the Mu Clan were originally too embarrassed to make a move, but by letting him say that, weren't they giving the other side an opportunity?

Although the Super Tier Perfection isn't a forbidden spell, its power is undeniable!

However, although this boasting was a bit too arrogant, at this moment, Tang Miao was definitely the most dazzling presence in their eyes.

Regardless of whether they have the ability or not, not just anyone dares to make such arrogant remarks.

The number one person under forbidden spells!

There are countless billions of people in the world, but how many are truly Forbidden Curse Mage?

Excluding those others, is he the strongest?

Several high-ranking officials and councilors of Flying Bird Base City sat in their reserved seats, the biting winds of the East China Sea whipping their faces. A bald councilor, his hat blown off, forgot all about fixing his appearance. The deputy mayor's mouth could fit an island, and the mayor, trembling, begged his aide for oxygen. The aide, like a wooden stake, remained fixed on Tang Miao...

The councilors representing the Magic Association remained silent for a long time.

The International Magic Association has said that a little leniency is acceptable in fights between young people; this era needs excitement, real skill, and visual impact. But they certainly didn't want him to add fuel to the fire like this!

This is a blatant provocation against all the Super Level Mage in the world!
