Translated by XephiZ

The English team consisted of three men and a woman. The woman stood out among them; even though she was wearing an ancient costume and accessories, she still had an elegant demeanor. Her golden pupils displayed a hint of nobility; humbling the others.
The golden-eyed girl was being modest and polite. She immediately greeted the crowd elegantly as she walked onto the stage.
Mu Nujiao responded politely, too. The atmosphere was a lot different than when the team was fighting the Egyptian team.
However, despite how polite the English team was, the pressure that the Chinese team felt did not fall even the slightest. It did not feel pleasant at all.
”My name is Ayleen. It's my first time visiting China. I am pleased to meet you,” the golden-eyed woman smiled. She seemed to have a good impression of Mu Nujiao.
Mo Fan nudged Li Kuang on the elbow and said softly, ”That woman is pretty tall, but her chest is quite big too!”
Li Kuang immediately glanced forward and was shocked to see the huge cleavage peeking through the round collar of the uniform the woman was wearing. It was rare to see someone with such a remarkable physique in their country!
”What are you two thinking about!?” snapped Mu Nujiao. ”Focus on the battle, be serious!”

Bai Dongwei glanced at the advisors before hesitantly declaring the start of the battle hesitantly.
The four representatives of the English team did not attack first. They were smiling calmly, as if they were treating the Chinese team to a meal instead of having a duel.
”What the heck are they smiling at? Dongfang Lie, give them a big one!” said Mo Fan.
”Don't tell me what to do!” Even though Dongfang Lie was not too pleased with Mo Fan's order, he still gathered his flames right away.
It was not like Dongfang Lie had not improved lately. Everyone could tell that his Fire Element Soul Seed had grown a lot stronger. Its aura was already stronger than Mo Fan's Rose Flame.
”Fiery Fist: Fiery Dragon!” Dongfang Lie immediately cast his strongest attack at the start of the battle!
The spell he cast was stronger than the fourth tier Fiery Fist: Nine Dragons. The nine dragons had all combined into a single fiery dragon, sweeping at the English team in a blaze of fire.
The Fiery Dragon sprang forward at a remarkable speed. The representatives of the English team were quite surprised by the spell.
Fifth-tier Fiery Fist? Mo Fan opened his mouth wide. He was quite shocked when he saw the fiery dragon ramming forward while uttering a menacing cry.
Dongfang Lie grinned. If he had not learned the fifth-tier Fiery Fist, he would never have dared to challenge the English team. The advisors happened to be watching the battle, too. Perhaps they would be impressed by his performance, giving him a better chance to join the national team.
The golden-eyed Ayleen opened her mouth slightly. The red light of the flames shone on her fair face.
”This is a country with concealed talents indeed! Even a talented person like him is only a mere defender at the Training Hall!” exclaimed Ayleen.
While giving the compliments, a purple-blue Star Pattern appeared under her feet. After the first Star Pattern was drawn, the second, and third Star Patterns appeared quickly. They circled around the golden-eyed woman Ayleen and formed a Water Star Constellation, setting off the sacred, glamorous woman with its brilliance!
”Water Curtain!” She tapped softly at the air in front of her. A watery rune spread swiftly and formed a barrier made from a waterfall hanging before the English team.
Even though the Fiery Dragon looked unstoppable, it was immediately extinguished by the Water Curtain when it collided with the watery barrier.
The seemingly unstoppable spell was gone within the blink of an eye. The Water Curtain perfectly nullified the Fiery Fist: Fiery Dragon.
”This...” Dongfang Lie was stunned.
How could anyone cast an Advanced Spell so quickly? What the heck could he possibly do? Even by using all he had, he had no chance of breaking through the defense of the Water Curtain set up by the golden-eyed woman!
”So fast!”
”She is so adept at casting the Advanced Spell. It's a no-brainer who's going to win the battle!”
”England is really a place with crazy talents. That girl is only in her twenties, yet she is already so adept at casting the Advanced Spell...”
The battle had only just begun, yet a sense of hopelessness and despair already surged through the spectators when the outcome suddenly became predictable.

”I'll handle the offense, it's been a while since my William last had his exercise,” said Sade, who was standing beside Ayleen.
As Sade uttered a chant, the Door of Contract slowly opened, and a griffin covered in golden feathers sprang out. It let out a long cry and soared rapidly into the air. The light from the ceiling of the Training Hall shone on the griffin's feathers and reflected sacred lights across the stage.
The golden griffin beat its wings. Its sharp eyes locked onto Dongfang Lie, who had attacked the English team first.
The creature was like a giant, golden sword, diving down from the sky, aiming to slash the person on the ground in half!
Dongfang Lie was stunned. He quickly fled for his life.
”Save me, save me!” yelled Dongfang Lie.
”Forest of Kun!” Mu Nujiao reacted swiftly and quickly summoned a huge shrub consisting of dense thistles to block the golden griffin.
