Chapter 149 The three substitutes' respective opponents
The three stood in a row on the stage, attracting the attention of everyone present.
Bai Dongwei's gaze swept over them one by one, and then he praised them generously, "The three of you have all performed very well during this period."
This wasn't just polite talk; it was the truth.
So far this year, only the island nation team has won their challenge badge among the national teams.
There's nothing we can do about it. The captain of the island nation's national team is participating, and it would be too embarrassing if we couldn't beat their national team.
As for other countries, even if their captains personally participate, they can only leave in disgrace and head to other weaker countries after arriving.
The power gap between countries is still quite large. In some weak countries, their strongest mage is only a high-level mage.
So as long as their skills aren't too bad and they're willing to spend the time, the National University team can always find a National University team that they can successfully challenge.
Although the rules state that as long as you collect enough challenge badges, you can participate in the National Championship, the prestige of each badge is completely different.
Teams that specialize in challenging small countries, even if they manage to reach Venice, are merely one-way trips and are not worth the attention of other countries.
After praising the three, Bai Dongwei changed the subject and continued, "However, it is not up to me, a teacher at the National Academy, to decide who among you will ultimately advance."
"Instructor Bai, where are the five instructors? Why haven't they appeared yet?" Mu Tingying stood on the stage, her gaze constantly sweeping through the crowd, trying to find Feng Li and the others.
She had heard from her elders that two of the five mentors had already clearly stated their support for her, so as long as they showed up and she made a little effort, she would basically be set.
Mu Nujiao and Lu Yilin shared the same doubts, finding it strange that Feng Li and the others had not appeared.
"I forgot to tell you, I just received a notification this morning that the five mentors will not be present in person for this selection process. Instead, they will send a special person to be in charge of the selection," Bai Dongwei explained to the group.
Upon hearing this, Mu Tingying's expression instantly turned somewhat unpleasant.
Her brows furrowed, and a hint of displeasure and doubt flashed in her eyes.
What does that mean?
So your family's money was wasted, right?
On the other side, Lu Yilin breathed a slight sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing: "Thank goodness, otherwise, with the strength of their Lu family, how could they possibly compare to the Mu family?"
He knew that the Mu family far surpassed the Lu family in terms of wealth and power, and if it really came down to a competition of resources, the Lu family would definitely be at a disadvantage.
Mu Nujiao seemed unconcerned, simply asking calmly, "Teacher Bai, when is that person coming?"
"I also."
Bai Dongwei was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"I've arrived."
The voice was soft, yet it carried an inexplicable air of authority.
It came from behind everyone, causing them to turn around involuntarily, and then they saw a tall young man with long silver hair walking over.
Upon seeing the young man's face, Mu Nujiao's pupils constricted sharply.
How could it be him?
"Is it you?" Mu Tingying exclaimed.
The young man in front of her was handsome and capable, and had left a deep impression on her last time.
"How could it be you?"
Even Bai Dongwei was a little confused. Although he knew that Hua Yu was the captain of the National Team, he really did not expect that the five mentors would casually entrust such an important task as selecting people to a student.
Isn't this just ridiculous?
"Let me introduce myself. I am Hua Yu, the captain of our national team."
"what!"
"What?"
Everyone present, except for Bai Dongwei and Mu Nujiao, exclaimed in surprise.
The captain of the National Government team came to play against their National Pavilion team?
This is too fantastical.
"No wonder last time," Mu Tingying murmured to herself in thought.
She recalled the last battle and felt it was somewhat natural. How could someone who could defeat three high-level mages be a member of the National Team?
correct!
The decision is in his hands!
Mu Tingying realized something in an instant and quickly raised her hand to ask Hua Yu, "Captain, who do you think is more suitable for your team?"
Upon hearing this question, Hua Yu's lips suddenly curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat wicked smile, and he said, "Suitable? Anyone who can withstand one of my moves is suitable."
"One move?" Lu Yilin jumped out, somewhat displeased, and said, "You're underestimating us too much."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Hua Yu glanced at Lu Yilin indifferently, then pressed his right hand down slightly.
Everyone only saw a flash of silver light, followed by a powerful aura suddenly released from Hua Yu's body.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Three voices, one after the other, rang out simultaneously.
Bai Dongwei and the students below the stage were speechless when they saw Mu Tingying and the other two being knocked to the ground in an instant.
At that moment, the entire National Pavilion suddenly fell silent.
It was as if even the wind had stopped!
Off the field, Dongfang Lie, who was unaffected by the gravity field, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at Hua Yu in shock.
Is he really someone my age?
This strength is simply terrifying!
"Da da da~~~"
A series of footsteps sounded.
The three people lying on the ground gritted their teeth and managed to lift their heads.
Hua Yu slowly approached them, first glancing down at Lu Yilin with a condescending look, and said indifferently, "Look down on you? How do you expect me to respect you?"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Lu Yilin lowered his head in shame.
"Lu Yilin, high-level light-elemental, secondary fire-elemental, can withstand attacks and fight. I'll give you a chance to join the National Team."
After Hua Yu finished speaking, she withdrew the weight that had been pressing down on Lu Yilin.
"real?"
"Our current substitute is also a high-level Light-type. If you defeat him, you can take his place." After Hua Yu finished speaking, he ignored Lu Yilin and turned to Mu Tingying, saying, "Mu Tingying, high-level Ice-type, right?"
"Mmm." Mu Tingying nodded quickly.
"Our national team already has an ice mage. But I can also give you a chance: defeat that person, and you'll take her place."
Ice mage?
In an instant, Mu Tingying thought of that face she loathed.
Defeat her?
Exactly what I want!
"no problem."
I look forward to your performance.
Hua Yu smiled slightly, then turned around and released the gravity on Mu Nujiao, saying to her, "Mu Nujiao, a high-level plant-type, which our team happens to lack, so you'll become a substitute this time. Of course, if you want a starting position, I can give you a chance."
"you say."
"Defeat that wind mage in our team, and you'll take his place!"
