The sun shines on the earth, covering the whole world with a layer of golden gauze. The breeze blows gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Such bright weather is really suitable for going out. Zizhou went to the national pavilion in a relaxed and happy mood.
When he arrived at the National Pavilion, he was surprised to find it unusually deserted, in stark contrast to the bustling scene of the past. According to his past experience, even if there were only people responsible for guarding the national pavilion present, there would always be some people coming and going around. However, today, let alone human figures, even the slightest sound is difficult to detect.
With a heart full of doubts and curiosity, Zizhou slowly stepped into the national pavilion. As soon as I entered the door, I heard a burst of noise, which sounded like it came from the competition venue. Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a group of people shouting loudly there. Zizhou stopped and listened carefully. Suddenly, he recognized Mo Fan's voice!
With the desire to find out what was going on, Zizhou quickened his pace and walked towards the competition venue. As soon as he entered the field, he had a panoramic view of the entire scene. One team was seen aggressively provoking the other, and in front of the crowd, Zizhou saw mentor Feng Li. At this moment, Teacher Feng Li's face turned red and his eyes were glaring, as if he was about to explode in the next second. But for some reason, he seemed to be trying hard to control his emotions. His body was trembling slightly, and his clenched fists showed that his inner anger had reached its peak.
Zizhou cast his gaze towards the team opposite him, and after careful observation, he discovered that these people seemed to be mages who were good at manipulating the power of the undead. He couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could this be the rumored Egyptian National Team coming to challenge the Chinese Pavilion?
However, what puzzled Zizhou was that he noticed that the players from his own country's pavilion all had angry looks on their faces, and seemed extremely excited and indignant. What exactly caused them to be so angry? With a lot of questions in his mind, Zizhou decided to leave the audience and find out what was going on.
He hurried down the steps and came to the sidelines. After looking around, he locked onto a girl who seemed to be in charge of guarding the national pavilion. Zizhou walked forward and asked politely, "Excuse me, is there anything going on here?"
The girl looked Zizhou up and down, her eyes full of vigilance and alertness. She asked cautiously, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."
Zizhou smiled and quickly explained to the girl, "I'm sorry, I just came to the pavilion today, so I don't know much about the situation here."
After hearing Zizhou's words, the girl's tense expression relaxed slightly. She thought that this was a new team member, so she was no longer nervous and began to explain patiently to Zizhou.
"Oh, you don't know, this Egyptian national team has competed with us before, and was beaten badly by Mu Ningxue. I didn't expect that not long after, they had the audacity to come back and ask to challenge our national pavilion again! Humph, these people really can't afford to lose, and they dare to talk nonsense there!" The person who said this waved his arms indignantly.
Zizhou stood aside and listened, and immediately understood the key in his heart. If you want to try again just because you failed the last time, that's normal. However, the problem is that Mu Ningxue is not present this time, so the strength of the National Pavilion will undoubtedly be weakened to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Zizhou walked towards Master Feng Li without hesitation. He walked with a firm step and his eyes revealed determination. The girl who had just talked with Zizhou was shocked when she saw this, and secretly thanked her luck that she did not offend the boy easily, but talked to him in a friendly and calm manner.
Soon, Zizhou came to the side of Grand Master Feng Li. After bowing slightly, he said, "Teacher Feng Li, the situation is urgent right now. Do you need my assistance?" His words were full of sincerity.
Feng Li turned around when he heard the voice. When he saw that the person coming was Zizhou, his face, which had been so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it, eased a little. However, after a brief thought, he finally shook his head and rejected Zizhou's offer of help.
Feng Li was well aware of Zizhou's powerful strength, but even so, he still believed that now was not the best time for Zizhou to confront the Egyptian national team head-on. After all, if the opponent were to collect key information about Zizhou at this time, it would definitely not be a good thing for subsequent battles. However, Zizhou did not insist on this and only put it forward as a suggestion. Of course, if the instructor finally decides to adopt this plan, Zizhou will naturally not refuse, and will even be happy to help everyone teach the Egyptian national team a lesson. In fact, Zizhou was not too surprised at Teacher Feng Li's attitude.
At this moment, Zizhou was silently observing Mo Fan who was having a heated debate with the Egyptian National Team. Mo Fan was like a burning flame, responding to the opponent with sharp words, firing at full force and showing no weakness. Faced with such a scene, Zizhou chose not to disturb Mo Fan and let him fully utilize his eloquence.
I have to say that Mo Fan is really a person with a hot temper. Look, he stepped forward without hesitation and issued a one-on-three challenge to the Egyptian national team. In other words, Mo Fan planned to fight against the three opposing team members on his own. The reason for such a shocking move is that when the Egyptian national team participated in the competition, one of its players threatened to challenge the three players from the Chinese National Pavilion alone. Although the game ended with the defeat of the Egyptian National Team, Mo Fan thought that since others dared to act so arrogantly, why couldn't he give them a taste of their own medicine?
Zizhou quickly grabbed Master Feng Li who was about to step forward and comforted him.
“Teacher Feng Li, please calm down first! You are not unaware of Mo Fan’s personality. He has always acted boldly. If he dares to do this, he must have known what he was doing and had it all planned out!”
However, Grand Master Feng Li frowned and retorted worriedly: "But even so, wouldn't this completely expose his important information? This is really too risky!"
Hearing this, Zizhou shook his head helplessly, stretched out his hand to gently support his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, teacher, think about it, even if he doesn't choose to expose himself now, with Mo Fan's fearless character, in the long and difficult training journey ahead, do you still expect him to stay hidden and not show his true colors? Besides, with Mo Fan rushing to the front to attract everyone's attention, the other members of our team will be better covered and protected, and can quietly avoid the prying and attention of those with ulterior motives."
Feng Li tried hard to suppress his anger, he knew Zizhou was right. But Mo Fan's temper that wanted to be beaten was really making him angry to death. If Feng Li hadn't known that Zizhou was coming today, he would never have imagined that Mo Fan was such a troublemaker. His temper was really hard to control. He couldn't help but feel a headache for Ai Jiangtu. As the captain, Ai Jiangtu was actually able to control Mo Fan. It was really amazing.
If Zizhou knew, he would definitely say helplessly to Grand Master Feng Li: In fact, Ai Jiangtu sometimes can't be controlled, and only he and Mu Ningxue will listen to him. Others don't listen, and it's probably good enough that they don't anger Mo Fan. Fortunately, no one knows each other’s thoughts. But Mo Fan also worked hard and won the match by fighting one against three.
Teacher Feng Li's expression also looked better. When Mo Fan defeated the Egyptian team and made them leave in disgrace. Mo Fan noticed Zizhou who was standing next to Mentor Feng Li. Mo Fan excitedly stepped forward and hugged Zizhou. He patted Zizhou's shoulder generously and said proudly.
"Zizhou, did you see my match just now? I look awesome, don't I?"
Zizhou smiled and nodded.
"It's really cool. Very impressive!"
When Mo Fan heard Zizhou's praise, he looked up, looking extremely happy. But then Mo Fan spoke again with a hint of regret.
"It's a pity that Xuexue is not here, otherwise she would have seen my heroic figure."
Zizhou patted Mo Fan's shoulder helplessly and advised.
"If you really like Mu Ningxue, then treat her well. You have a very eccentric personality and you have a lot of romantic relationships. But seeing how persistent you are towards her, I think if you can be wholeheartedly devoted to her, you two will be very happy in the future."
Mo Fan scratched his head awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed and a little shy. However, he knew very well that he liked Mu Ningxue, but Mu Ningxue's feelings towards him were ambiguous.
Zizhou finally embarked on his journey home, but mentor Feng Li was unable to travel with him due to being busy with other affairs. When night falls, Zizhou needs to cross a quiet and deep grove before reaching his residence. The woods looked somewhat eerie under the moonlight.
Just as Zizhou was walking on the path in the forest, suddenly, several dark shadows rushed out from all sides and blocked his way without warning. Without saying a word, these people rushed towards Zizhou with a fierce and brutal attack.
Faced with this sudden attack, Zizhou did not panic. Relying on his superb mastery of space magic, he flashed and instantly avoided the opponent's first round of attack. Then, Zizhou began to fight back. He waved his hands quickly, muttered something, and brilliant magical lights bloomed in his hands.
Zizhou's movements were as natural and smooth as flowing water. Every magic he performed was so swift and accurate that it was a feast for the eyes. Several powerful attack magic spells whizzed out and flew straight towards the attackers. They were unable to dodge and all suffered varying degrees of injuries.
However, just as Zizhou was concentrating on dealing with the enemies in front of him, something unexpected happened - a group of dark figures appeared silently and surrounded Zizhou and the attackers at an extremely fast speed. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be dozens of black beasts with hideous faces! They bared their fangs and claws, and emitted low roars from their mouths, as if they would pounce on everyone and tear them to pieces at any time.
At this moment, Zizhou, who was in the center of the encirclement, felt his heart tighten and he immediately realized that the situation was not good. Because the appearance of these black beasts was by no means accidental, combined with the sneak attacks of those people just now, Zizhou suddenly realized: it turned out that these people were from the notorious Black Church, and he unfortunately fell into the trap they carefully set.
It seemed that those guys from the Black Church had somehow learned of his route and had set up an ambush here long ago. It was obvious that the people who had fought with Zizhou before were not strong enough and were no match for Zizhou at all. Therefore, the people of the Black Church made a prompt decision and chose to show up at this time, attempting to personally take action to deal with Zizhou, while also instructing a group of ferocious black beasts to deal with the other few people. It is worth mentioning that these people are not ordinary people, they are all powerful people with the strength of mid-to-high-level magicians. However, faced with the large number of fearless black beasts, they had no time to distract themselves and deal with other situations. At the moment, Zizhou was busy dealing with the people from the Black Vatican. Naturally, he had no time to think about the situation of these two groups of people. At this moment, mysterious figures wearing black tarpaulins and covering their faces tightly suddenly jumped out from the darkness, making it difficult to recognize their true identities. What's worse is that the black beasts that besieged Zizhou are actually commander-level beings. Their strength is really a headache and has brought great pressure to Zizhou.

However, Zizhou did not panic at the critical moment. He quickly formed seals with his hands and successfully summoned the scorched rice fruit and the flame spirit in a blink of an eye. With the appearance of these two major forces, the situation on the battlefield changed instantly. With the burning of the Flame Spirit and the powerful force of the Scorched Rice Fruit, it became much easier for Zizhou to deal with the enemy in front of him.
However, the most difficult ones usually prefer to attack unexpectedly. Just when Zizhou was not paying attention, a member of the Black Vatican suddenly appeared. After some observation and judgment, Zizhou concluded that this person should be a high-level magician. What’s even more shocking is that the magic this wizard is good at is actually poison-related! Looking closely, the poison technique he performed seemed to have some similarities with Zu Jiming's poison technique, but they were also slightly different. After further analysis, Zizhou finally confirmed that the mysterious man's poison was insect poison or Gu poison. Once you are infected with this strange and dangerous toxin, the consequences will be disastrous. Thinking of this, Zizhou couldn't help but feel nervous, and he mustered up his full attention to deal with this tricky enemy in front of him.
A black mist so thick that it seemed to be dripping with water, like a ferocious beast, rushed towards Zizhou with bared fangs and claws. However, what was surprising was that when the black fog rushed to only one meter away from Zizhou, it seemed to have hit an invisible wall and stopped instantly, unable to move forward at all.
"What's going on?! What kind of power is this? It can actually withstand our attacks so easily!" someone shouted in astonishment, his voice full of disbelief and panic.
"Don't panic! Let's concentrate our efforts together, Li Xiu, break this guy's defense! I don't believe he can hold on!" Another person shouted loudly, trying to stabilize everyone's emotions and organize a new round of more powerful offensive.
