”Hey Reed, it turns out that these Asians aren't treating us seriously,” a woman with a few obvious moles on her face spoke up.
The others knew what the woman was trying to say, since the formation of the Chinese team did not seem to be strong at first glance.
Every country was expected to give their best during the finals. The Chinese team was said to be the dark horse this year, after it was able to make it to the finals, yet as a country that had failed to make it to the finals for so long, they seemed reluctant to give their best, and were not treating the match seriously. The German team was struggling to understand what the Chinese team was thinking.
Did they seriously think they could handle the old, powerful nation that had rarely tasted defeat with these starting members?
”Don't they like to preserve their strength? Let's show them what we have and crush all five of their members before they can even send their substitutes in. That way, we'll be able to preserve our strength instead for the match tomorrow!” an Ice Mage from Munich sniffed.
”Don't be careless, they might be probing us,” snapped their captain Johnson, who had always been cautious.
The two teams were around a hundred and fifty meters apart. The whole stage had a diameter of around three hundred meters. The stage was like a desert, with a dry, scorching heat, even though they were currently in Venice and surrounded by water!
The stage felt quite real. The two teams were standing on two sand dunes that were not too steep. As the two teams started channeling their spells, the sand slowly drifted in the wind.
On the side of the German team, the first spell that was cast was the Summit Wind. It swept fiercely, blowing the sand into the air...
More sand was blown into the air and slowly formed sandy clouds above the German team. The sandy clouds seemed to be controlled by some Mage, combining with the wind to form a strong layer of protection for the German team!

”They are pretty good at using the environment to their advantage. Behold, my sandcastle!” Zhao Manyan was not to be outdone either. He stomped the ground and constructed a sturdy wall from the golden sand, which gradually took on the outline of a sandcastle.
The five members of the Chinese team stood on the sandcastle. It was like a defensive fortress; any destructive Spells targeting them would have to destroy the sandcastle first!
”Seal of the Earth!” Zhao Manyan activated his magic ring, spreading the energy that was able to reinforce his Earth Spell.
The seal imprinted on the sturdy sandcastle was able to boost its defense by another twenty percent!
”Your sandcastle is pretty ugly,” Jiang Shaoxu said.
”I'm not a f**king builder, it's useful enough as long as it's sturdy! Don't worry about its appearance. Some body parts we men have are pretty ugly too, but are still useful!” Zhao Manyan shot back.
Jiang Shaoxu stuck her tongue out, not willing to waste any more of her time talking to the pervert.
Jiang Shaoxu strongly believed that the reason why Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were able to become best buddies was that they greatly appreciated how equally perverted they both were!
”It's the second-tier Sky-Flame Funeral, Hellish Flames!” Nanyu said to the others, glancing into the sky.
The first-tier of the Sky-Flame Funeral, Rain of Flames, was able to summon flames to pour down like a rain from the sky. The flames would promptly set the whole place on fire.
However, the Sky-Flame Funeral: Hellish Flames was completely different. It only had a single meteorite, but as it came closer gradually, the people would realize how enormous the meteorite was. The meteorite would even produce ghastly screams, like devils from Hell!
Unlike the ordinary red flames, the meteorite of the Sky-Flame Funeral: Hellish Flames was dark green, and the flames engulfing the meteorite were dark green, too!
With a huge explosion, the wind produced by the approaching meteorite blew the sand into the air, yet the sand was turned into nothing by the sinister green flames. Even the sturdy defense that Zhao Manyan had set up crumbled within an instant!
The Hellish Flames spread wildly. Its force swept across half of the stage fiercely, the barrier surrounding the stage even trembled from the impact!
The Chinese team was in complete disorder.
The members were forced to scatter due to the powerful flames. No one had expected that the German team would attack with such a powerful Fire Spell without probing them first.
The Hellish Flames finally calmed down after some time. Zhao Manyan's face was covered in sand, and his body already had a few burns.
”For f**k's sake, how did he break through my defense, just like that?” Zhao Manyan cursed anxiously.
Zhao Manyan had gone through lots of practice with Mo Fan, and even Mo Fan's spells were unable to break through his defense so easily. How did the German do it?
”Can your defense be any more useless?” Mu Tingying snapped furiously, her hair disheveled.
