Team Sparring
Thank you to: Handsome Young Master for the donation, thank you to Xinchen for the donation, thank you to Lin Tianyang for the donation of 1500 book coins, and thank you to Yu Jian Xia Hell for the donation of 588 book coins.
Seeing Zhao Manyan's expression that he was ready to drink and that he could hold his liquor well, if he didn't know that this guy was terrible at drinking, he might have actually believed him.
Are you sure you want to drink?
Zhao Manyan's alcohol tolerance was indeed low, but seeing Tang Miao's questioning look, he thought to himself, "I have to regain some of my advantage in certain areas!"
In his opinion, someone as capable as Tang Miao must have a terrible alcohol tolerance. He immediately nodded, looking quite certain!
Tang Miao had no choice but to agree. After all, he felt it was necessary to make Zhao Manyan understand what it meant to say, "If Qingdao doesn't fall, I won't fall; if the snowflakes don't fall, I won't fall!"
In his past life, he could easily drink two and a half jin of baijiu (Chinese liquor) and down beer without restraint—that wasn't just talk...
The two, each with their own agendas, arrived at a hotel, ordered a table full of dishes, and ten cases of wine. Their extravagant display was certainly impressive!
Before three rounds of wine and five dishes had been served, Zhao Manyan collapsed.
Looking at Zhao Manyan, who was already passed out drunk, Tang Miao laughed and muttered to himself, "Damn, trash!"
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Tang Miao dragged the lifeless Zhao Manyan back to the apartment at the Imperial Capital Academy.
And let me tell you, the air quality in Beijing is Magic Capital. At night, no matter how dark you are, you can forget about seeing a complete starry sky. Even in complete darkness, you can't see very clearly; it's always shrouded in a yellowish haze, which is called light pollution.
When they returned to the apartment, everyone else was already asleep. Tang Miao simply tossed Zhao Manyan onto the sofa and went back to her own room.
After all, he had already done more than enough by not abandoning him on the street!
In the morning, other schools will compete against the Imperial Capital Academy, and in the afternoon, it will be between the Pearl Academy and Imperial Capital Academy.
This sparring match was naturally the highlight; if the arena hadn't been partially closed, it would definitely have been packed with people.
After all, the rivalry between the two universities, Mingzhu and Beijing, has been going on for more than just a year or two. These two megacities are already geographically competitive in the country, and universities, being places where competitive young people gather, are bound to have some rivalry.
In previous years, Imperial Capital Academy and Pearl Academy were drawn against other universities and won, which was quite normal and a bit monotonous.
This year's encounter is going to be quite interesting!
Mingzhu is undoubtedly the top university in Magic Capital.
The Imperial Capital is home to the highest magic academy in the capital.
When the two most prestigious magic academies in the country clash, that's going to be incredibly exciting!
It wasn't just that Teacher Lu was eager for a direct confrontation between the two sides; it was actually the school's intention! Because only by truly eliminating Pearl Academy could they sit more comfortably in their position as the top leader!
In terms of the competition schedule, the other six universities will compete against each other, including those from the South, North, West, and East, all of which are well-known universities in the country.
However, neither the students nor the teachers of the Imperial Capital Academy were very concerned; what they really wanted to deal with were the people from the Pearl Academy.
After all, there's really nothing to care about from the other schools.
Since the competition was in the afternoon, Tang Miao spent the morning meditating in her apartment. Zhao Manyan, on the other hand, was recovering from the shock he suffered the previous night.
As for the others, they're probably arguing with the people from the Imperial Capital Academy right now.
In the afternoon, the group arrived at the arena for their duel.
The arena is very large and imposing, and the huge white pillars outside the door are reminiscent of the grandeur of the Colosseum in ancient Rome.
The style of the arena is quite different, and it is also modeled after the Roman Colosseum. It is shaped like a circular ring, and some specially designed honeycomb-like openwork makes it stand tall and more visually appealing.
The moment the two groups arrived, a strong smell of gunpowder ignited within them.
Teacher Lu from the other side even gave Tang Miao a special look. He seemed to remember what happened yesterday!
Tang Miao originally wanted to go out and make some harsh remarks, but then he thought that doing so would be too conspicuous and would make him more hated. So he didn't make any moves in the first round.
After seeing that Tang Miao was not going to fight in the first match, Teacher Gu Han, who was in charge of arranging the sparring, called out Shen Mingxiao, Luo Song, Peng Liang, and Zhao Manyan to come out.
Of course, both Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao volunteered to participate.
One reason was that they disliked one of the other people, and the other was that they wanted to show off in front of several beautiful young girls from the school. In short, they just wanted to be the center of attention.
"Xu Dalong, Liao Mingxuan, Jingjing, and Zhao Mingyue, the four of you will lead the charge. Don't let us down." After confirming the participants at the Pearl Academy, Lu Yiming immediately selected the four.
Jingjing and Zhao Mingyue are two female magicians, both quite beautiful, the kind you can like at first sight.
As for the other two, they weren't particularly outstanding; one was a dark-skinned, muscular man, and the other Little White. In short, neither of them could match his elegant demeanor and handsome appearance!
There were also some people sitting on both sides, probably from the Xiamen Academy and East China Academy, watching the game with schadenfreude.
However, regardless of the ranking of these institutions, all the exchange students here are Intermediate Mage, and most of them have been at the Intermediate Level for some time... some may even have reached the second level.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. What school doesn't have a few Intermediate Level students? Those who can bring glory to the school must be top-notch experts. And there are many talented people in various regions, and there must be quite a few as young and promising as themselves. They didn't come this morning, so I don't know how strong they are. Anyway, the girls are all very pretty.
The competition between the Pearl Academy and Imperial Capital Academy also began after it was announced that magical artifacts were strictly prohibited!
At the start of the match, the four players from the Imperial Capital Academy coordinated extremely well, while the four players from the Pearl Academy had not yet agreed on their roles of damage dealer and support.
... After the magical bombardment, although none of them were seriously injured, they all suffered some minor injuries.
And, unsurprisingly, Pearl Academy was defeated.
"Tang Miao, Mo Fan, Mu Nujiao, and Song Xia, the four of you get ready," Gu Han said to the four students, Tang Miao, as he looked at the battle that had ended on the stage.
Tang Miao nodded, while Shen Mingxiao, who had just failed to show off, wanted to go back on stage. However, such a nobody would only add to the burden, so at Tang Miao's signal, he obediently shut up.
Because the moment Tang Miao looked over, the surrounding air turned icy cold, and Shen Mingxiao dared not utter another word.
Only after sensing the powerful Ice Element aura did Gu Han breathe a sigh of relief. At least Tang Miao wasn't just there to slack off, which put his mind at ease!
PS: I revised chapter 65 a bit. It's best to stick to your own interpretation. If you're unhappy that "Mo Fan" doesn't have much screen time, don't bother reading further. After all, I said at the beginning of the book that I was here for the female supporting character.
The "him" in this book is like a member of the underwater team, someone who is pulled out and used when needed.
I'm not arrogant, I just have my own ideas. Sorry.
Also, just to let you know, after the protagonist obtains the Demon Element, he will have three elemental attributes. I don't plan to write about all the awakenings when using forbidden spells; it's not very interesting, since the whole process takes place before the forbidden spells.
