Today, there have been some changes in the national team's starting roster. This change was due to Li Kaifeng's foul and his vacant position was eventually replaced by Zhao Manyan. At the same time, Mo Fan replaced Guan Yu and became the new starting player.
So, why didn't Mu Ningxue or Guan Yu replace Li Kaifeng? It turns out that as an all-round defensive mage, Zhao Manyan's outstanding defensive ability far exceeds that of other teammates. After careful consideration, Instructor Feng Li believed that Zhao Manyan's strong defense played a vital role in the tactical layout of the entire team and could effectively enhance the stability and security of the team.
On the other hand, although Mu Ningxue is very capable, due to the complicated situation within her family, being able to enter the National Team as a substitute is the best she can achieve. Mu Ningxue herself did not express any dissatisfaction or objection to this. She accepted the arrangement calmly and worked hard silently, hoping to contribute her strength to the team in the limited opportunities.
Time passes quietly, the team members' training journey continues, and the national pavilion challenge full of passion and challenges never stops. Afterwards, Ai Jiangtu and others continued on their journey and finally arrived in the bustling New York, USA. Here, they visited the famous Temple of Liberty with great interest and appreciated the unique cultural charm and historical heritage of this city. However, they did not stay for too long and soon launched a new round of challenges to the American Pavilion...
However, what was unexpected was that someone actually came to greet their arrival, and this person was none other than the mysterious female wizard who had appeared in the Red Ornament Guild before!
“Wow, Mo Fan, I never realized that you have such a special relationship with this female mage!”
Jiang Yu poked Mo Fan beside him with a sly smile on his face, his tone full of teasing.
Zhao Manyan, who was standing by, was not to be outdone. He raised his eyebrows and stared at Mo Fan with a look full of curiosity, as if urging him to tell him some inside information. Even Zizhou was listening attentively to the inside story.
Faced with such straightforward jokes from his friends, Mo Fan shook his head helplessly and explained, “She said that the reason she came to pick us up in person was entirely because of the incident with the Red Ornament Guild last time.”
Hearing this answer, everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Jiang Yu even pouted and said, "Oh, I thought there was some wonderful story here, but it turned out to be so simple."
In this way, everyone talked and laughed along the way, and before they knew it, they arrived at the door of the American Pavilion. Just then, a tall and handsome boy walked out. After some introduction, we learned that this person's name was Fenom and he was a member of the US national pavilion team. But for some reason, Fenom seemed to have a huge prejudice against Mo Fan. Whenever Mo Fan opened his mouth to speak, he would always take the opportunity to interject a few sarcastic remarks, making the atmosphere quite awkward.
Zizhou, who was standing nearby, saw all of this and thought to himself: In my opinion, the reason why Fenom has such strong hostility towards Mo Fan is probably related to Oruna.
However, Fenom was full of disdain towards Zizhou and others. Even though Oruna once mentioned to him that the strength of the Chinese team should not be underestimated, in Fenom's heart, he always believed that only the American team was truly invincible.
Just like that, Fenom, who was in charge of leading them on the tour, pushed his arrogance to its peak. He walked up to the challenge wall in front of everyone and without hesitation, put a big red cross under the name of the Chinese team. It was as if he didn't take Ai Jiangtu and the others seriously at all, and didn't care about other people's feelings at all.
This action instantly ignited the anger in Ai Jiangtu and others. You know, although there may be some minor frictions between countries occasionally, everyone usually maintains a certain sense of propriety and leaves room for maneuver in what they say and do, just in case they are slapped in the face by reality one day. But now, the arrogant and domineering attitude of the American Embassy has really made Ai Jiangtu and his team unable to tolerate it.
Especially Mo Fan, who always had a hot temper and was easily ignited like a firecracker. At this moment, he was so angry that his eyes were blazing with fire. If it weren't for his teammates holding him back, he would have rushed up to fight with the opponent. Zizhou stood there quietly, staring at Fenom coldly, with an elusive deep meaning in his eyes.
Faced with this situation, Oruna looked helpless. In fact, she herself was also speechless about Fenom's arrogant attitude, but she didn't know how to dissuade him. Because in the American Pavilion, arrogant and rude guys like Fenom are not the only ones, almost everyone is so arrogant.
At this moment, the game is imminent and we can't wait any longer. After a long wait and search, Ai Jiangtu and others finally met the group of mysterious people guarding the national pavilion as they wished. What is striking is that the captain of the team guarding the National Hall is actually the man named Boblin, who has an extraordinarily handsome face.
However, when you are on this site and look around, you will find that almost no one is ugly. On the contrary, the presence of so many handsome men and beautiful women around him made Boblin's originally outstanding handsome appearance no longer so dazzling and unique.
Zizhou stood quietly at the back of the crowd. He was not as emotional as the others and was not impulsive enough to rush forward. He knew very well that at this moment, Mo Fan was eager to try and was ready to do something big.
Zizhou was seen standing there calmly, gently stroking the small and exquisite miniature version of the Flame Spirit in his hand.

Not long ago, when Zizhou witnessed the cute and lovable appearance of Ye Luosha with his own eyes, he suddenly developed a strong interest and love for the furry touch. Because the scorched rice fruit was too small, this time, Zizhou specially picked up the Flame Spirit, which had only transformed into a tail, and hugged it tightly in his arms. Zizhou felt the furry touch was really comfortable. Yan Ling also looked like she was enjoying Zizhou's service, her eyes narrowed comfortably.
It is worth mentioning that in this fierce challenge, Zizhou was not scheduled to participate. After all, in the entire team, the strongest person is Zizhou himself. Moreover, judging from the current situation, the US team has not yet demonstrated sufficient strength, and is far from the point where Zizhou needs to take action personally. Besides, Zizhou himself had no strong desire to play. He would rather calmly observe how the situation developed and wait for his opportunity to act.
But the other party didn't think so. Oruna had received the news a long time ago, and it was said that Zizhou's strength must be tested. Now if Zizhou didn't play, her mission would not be completed!
Aoluna reached out and poked Boblin, and Boblin understood what Aoluna meant. He was also one of the people who knew about testing Zizhou's strength, so Boblin spoke.
"Isn't the student behind you going to play? It's a rare opportunity, and I didn't see any reaction from him?"
Everyone looked at Zizhou, but Zizhou just remained indifferent.
Ai Jiangtu hesitated and asked Zizhou what he thought.
"Zizhou?"
Zizhou looked up and smiled at Ai Jiangtu, comforting him.
"I'm fine with anything, Lao Ai, you make the arrangements."
Ai Jiangtu nodded and spoke to the other four people.
“Then I won’t play this time. When the time comes, Mo Fan, you can follow your own ideas. Zizhou will probably assist you, but…”
"Be more restrained. This is not our home. They let Zizhou play. They must be trying to test him."
The second sentence was said by Ai Jiangtu to Mo Fan quietly. Mo Fan also knew that the other party had bad intentions in calling for Zizhou to play, so he secretly made an "OK" gesture to Ai Jiangtu.
