Chapter 440 The Sparring Begins, Mo Fan's 'Sword' Is Unmatched
Not long after the banquet began, a glib-tongued instructor from the Japanese National Academy made a provocative remark, much to the surprise of many. To everyone's astonishment, Jiang Shaoxu, the shrew, shut him down. Although this gave the National Academy team a chance to speak up, it also displeased many high-ranking Japanese officials at the banquet.
"You're quite the talker, but I wonder how many moves you can last against me when we actually spar?" A glamorous female student from the Shuangshou Pavilion's defense team said with a hint of disdain.
"Really? You make it sound like you're so amazing. I'd also like to test the skills of your island nation's young mages. Let's have a spar after the banquet, so we don't waste time on our journey to the next stop." Jiang Shaoxu's tone was full of hostility.
"Alright, let's settle this after the banquet," said Mochizuki Chika, rising from her seat.
After Mochizuki Chika stood up to express her opinion, the students from Osaka Academy excitedly shouted during the banquet, saying that they would make the Chinese regret coming to challenge their Japanese guard team first.
The sparring dinner between the Chinese National Team and the Japanese National Team quickly descended into chaos. Helpless, the person in charge, Wang Yuemingjian, could only stand up and try to smooth things over with a smile, saying, "Now that the sparring time is set, let's continue with the dinner and enjoy our food and drinks!"
While Jiang Han and the others were enjoying the dinner, the two sides finalized the competition format: each side would send out five players for one-on-one duels, with the winner determined by a best-of-five format.
China and Japan have a long-standing feud, so when it came time to finalize the roster, everyone eagerly signed up. Showing off their strength in China was secondary; their main goal was to utterly crush the young Japanese mage and uphold China's national prestige!

The training ground of Xishouge is no smaller than that of their Mingzhu Academy, and it is located on the south side facing the ocean. The entire training ground is a diamond-shaped structure that is artificially laid out over the mountains. When there are no competitions, it can also be used as a helicopter landing platform.
The diamond-shaped training ground is exposed in three directions, about 700 to 800 meters above the ground. Apart from the invisible barrier, there is not even a railing. If it weren't for the fact that the ground is made of a special material called gray crystal and that there are rocks extending from the mountain below supporting it, it would probably be impossible to maintain normal training at Osaka Academy.
The Chinese National Team represented China in this sparring match with Jiang Shaoxu, Mo Fan, and Jiang Han, while the Japanese National Team sent five players to compete.
After noticing this, the blond guy from the Japanese guard team started yelling, while Ai Jiangtu casually replied that three people were enough. Ai Jiangtu's words infuriated the Japanese guard team and the Japanese military commander watching the game.
"I've been annoyed by that blond guy from that island nation for a while, so I'm going to lead the charge." With that, Mo Fan walked straight to the center of the training field.
Mo Fan casually performed a basic courtesy while standing on the training ground, then arrogantly pointed at Mochizuki Chika and said, "You, someone reserved you in advance, so I can only choose the blond guy in front of you."
Mochizuki Chika was about to get up when that bastard Mo Fan pointed at the blond-haired Okamoto Takashi kneeling in front of her, making Mochizuki Chika tremble with anger.
"Chinese, you're being a bit too arrogant!" After saying that, the blond-haired Okamoto Takashi stood up, bowed to the leaders, mentors, and classmates behind him, and then walked directly to the center of the training field.
After the instructor, Fujikata Nobuko, announced the start, Mo Fan was engulfed in flames, while the blond-haired man instantly transformed into a blur and charged towards Mo Fan, who was constructing the star map. It must be said, this Japanese blond-haired man was incredibly fast!
Unfortunately, just as he was about to get close to Mo Fan, Mo Fan's fire-type star map was completed, and a rose-red fire dragon coiled around his arm. Upon seeing this, Miyamoto Takashi immediately summoned his armored demonic tool and then quickly dodged to the side.
"Goodbye, little golden retriever." After saying that, Mo Fan swung his fist at Miyamoto Takashi, who was hurriedly dodging.
As Mo Fan threw a punch, a burst of fire erupted, and nine rose-red flame dragons surged from his arm. The roaring flames resembled the furious cries of the flame dragons. The nine flame dragons pounced and then overlapped, transforming into a fiery dragon. If this were to hit Miyamoto Takashi, it would instantly blast him away.
"This Chinese guy is so strong! Okamoto Takashi is going to lose, and he might even be in mortal danger!" The Japanese soldier sitting in the stands said, signaling to his mentor that he could intervene to save him.
"Qianxun, do you still think you can completely defeat him?" Wangyue Mingjian stroked his beard and asked with a smile.
"Yes," Mochizuki Chika still stubbornly replied, absolutely refusing to admit that she was inferior to that despicable Chinese man.
As these people were speaking, a huge sky-blue constellation appeared above the head of the instructor guarding the gym, and then Okamoto Takashi in the training field was enveloped in a huge water foliage protection.
The crimson flame dragon crashed violently into the Water Flower Guardian, followed by a surge of white steam. Finally, to the astonishment of the high-ranking officials, including the Island Nation's Military Commander and Mochizuki Meiken, the dragon shattered, and Okamoto Takashi, who was enveloped in the Water Flower Guardian, was sent flying backward by the aftershocks of the flame dragon.
"Cough cough," Okamoto Takashi crashed into the barrier, spitting out a mouthful of black blood. If it weren't for the super-grade defensive barrier at the edge of the training ground, Okamoto Takashi would have been blasted off from there.
"Quick, where's the medical team? We need to save him!" The guardian monk checked on Okamoto Takashi's condition and immediately shouted to the healing-type monk waiting at the training ground.
"Intermediate-level fourth-grade magic, is the Chinese national team this strong this year?" The Japanese military commander squinted and said.
