PAH!!
Zhou Haoyu directly slapped the blond youth across the face with a strike from the void, the force so great it sent him flying away.
"To deal with unreasonable barbarians, fists are still the most practical."
Zhou Haoyu looked utterly calm, as though he had merely swatted away a fly.
Mochizuki Chihaya's chest rose and fell violently, trembling from her rage.
Mochizuki Meiken frowned deeply. Although it was true they were the ones at fault for being impolite, striking out so suddenly was going a bit too far.
Originally, he had even thought of inviting these National Team members to a banquet, but now he found it difficult to even bring up the words.
"Let's not waste time. Let's start the fight directly," Zhou Haoyu said.
Mochizuki Meiken glanced at Okamoto Takashi, whose face was already misshapen. The man hadn't even reacted when Zhou Haoyu struck just now.
Though there was some element of ambush in that blow, it was undeniable that Zhou Haoyu's strength placed him at the peak among Advanced Mages.
Clearly, the rest of his teammates would not be weak either—at the very least, stronger than the Japan's Pavillion hall participants.
"You all wait here in the West Guard Pavilion. I will notify the other participants of the National Hall."
As he spoke, Mochizuki Meiken turned to Mochizuki Chihaya.
"Chihaya, take them to stroll around the West Guard Pavilion for a while. In a bit, bring them to the battle grounds."
Mochizuki Chihaya looked unwilling, but upon seeing Mochizuki Meiken's stern gaze, she had no choice but to agree.
"Be a good granddaughter and lead the way," Zhou Haoyu said as he glanced at Mochizuki Chihaya.
Hearing this, Mochizuki Meiken—who had not yet walked far—stumbled under his feet and nearly fell flat on the ground.
This brat actually wanted to treat him as though they were peers!?
Mochizuki Chihaya forcibly suppressed her fury, pulling out a stiff smile, though her icy gaze looked as though she wished to cut Zhou Haoyu into a thousand pieces.
Under Mochizuki Chihaya's reluctant guidance, the group strolled briefly through the West Guard Pavilion.
"The Korean Team may be weak, but at least they have some manners. Unlike you Hua Nation people—arriving here only to injure one of our participants."
As Zhou Haoyu and his group entered the arena, a middle-aged woman's cold ridicule rang out.
"The World School Tournament is about strength, not a competition of manners. And as for your Japan's so-called manners, I'd say they're worth about as much as a pile of filth on the roadside."
Zhou Haoyu did not yield to them in the slightest. With Armor Robe as his trump card, he was utterly fearless!
Against these islanders, not an ounce of humility was necessary!
Fujikata Nobuko's face twisted with rage. If he had merely cursed at her, it would not have angered her so much.
But his words meant their National Hall was both lacking in strength and in manners.
As a teacher of the National Hall, Fujikata Nobuko wanted nothing more than to fling a spell at this bastard right then and there.
"Begin the match quickly."
Mochizuki Meiken urged, fearing that if this continued, the entire Double-Guard Pavilion would reek of gunpowder.
Fujikata Nobuko gave a cold snort, lifting her chin as she looked at Zhou Haoyu.
"How do you want to fight?"
"Doesn't matter. One-on-one or team battle, you can choose," Zhou Haoyu replied indifferently.
Fujikata Nobuko was no fool. She immediately chose one-on-one battles, best of five.
This man could slap Okamoto Takashi unconscious with a void strike. Clearly, he was a Space Element Advanced Mage.
If it was a team battle, they would have no chance at all.
But in duels, there was at least a sliver of hope.
However, when Fujikata Nobuko saw Zhou Haoyu's side only sending out three people, she frowned.
"It's supposed to be best of five. What do you mean by only sending out three?"
"Three victories will suffice."
Zhou Haoyu's tone remained utterly calm. Guan Yu and Mu Nujiao were enough to secure the first two matches.
And for the third match, he planned to personally educate Mochizuki Chihaya.
Mo Fan also wanted to step onto the field, but Zhou Haoyu immediately vetoed it.
With Mo Fan's temper, he would most likely demand Mochizuki Chihaya as his opponent.
Besides, Mo Fan was only a substitute—Zhou Haoyu had no intention of indulging him.
Fujikata Nobuko was fuming, her chest swelling visibly in indignation.
"You had better not regret this!"
The first battle began: Guan Yu versus Okamoto Takashi. Both were Speed-type Mages, their movements almost impossible to track, locked in a fierce deadlock.
However, Guan Yu possessed the supreme magic equipment Armguard, giving him an edge in offense over Okamoto Takashi.
As expected, Guan Yu successfully defeated Okamoto Takashi, though he sustained quite a few injuries himself.
The second battle: Mu Nujiao versus another National Hall participant.
Compared to Guan Yu's intense duel with Okamoto Takashi, this fight was simple and brutal.
Mu Nujiao was an Advanced Mage—with a single move, she summoned over a dozen Horror Demon Vines, instantly binding the National Hall participant in place.
There was utterly no room for resistance!
This battle completely shattered the confidence of the Japan mages present.
If even the teammates were this monstrous, then the captain's strength must be terrifying beyond imagination. Were they about to be completely swept!?
As the match was declared over, Zhou Haoyu strode directly toward the Island Nation's team, pointing at Mochizuki Chihaya.
"Be a good granddaughter, hurry up and get on stage. Let me educate you properly."
The Japan mages present all widened their eyes in shock, and several high-ranking mages turned sharply toward Mochizuki Meiken.
This was clearly a public slap in the face for the Mochizuki family!
Mochizuki Meiken's face darkened as black as the bottom of a pot. If the boy had said such things in private, he could have tolerated it, but to say this openly before so many people…
Still, Mochizuki Meiken did not lash out in shame and anger. Instead, he acted as though nothing had happened.
He would wait until Chihaya had tested this boy's true strength before making a move.
Spurred on by Zhou Haoyu's provocation, Mochizuki Chihaya did not hesitate in the slightest. She decisively left her seat and walked onto the battlefield.
"You'll regret this!"
On the stage, Mochizuki Chihaya declared this coldly before immediately releasing her Water Domain.
Since her Plant Element was restrained by Fire, she would use Water instead!
Under the coverage of Mochizuki Chihaya's Water Domain, the entire arena was flooded, leaving no dry spot to stand.
"Just a Domain. As if I don't have one myself."
"Profound Yang Golden Domain!"
Golden lightning burst forth in Zhou Haoyu's eyes, and in the next instant, countless bolts of thunder filled the arena.
These bolts were not like natural lightning. Instead, they condensed into arcs of golden curved blades.
It was precisely the second effect of the Profound Yang Golden Thunder: Golden Thunder Blades!
Each Golden Thunder Blade was equivalent in force to a Mid-tier Spell, and right now, there were at least twenty of them hovering across the battlefield!
Both Mochizuki Chihaya and the Island Nation mages watching below were stunned in terror. This Domain was far too overwhelming!
Even Ai Jiangtu and the others were left speechless.
Zhou Haoyu raised his hand and waved it toward Mochizuki Chihaya. Instantly, a single Golden Thunder Blade cut through the air toward her.
Mochizuki Chihaya hurriedly condensed a Water Shield to block it.
But that was not the end. The other Golden Thunder Blades shot forth from all directions, surrounding Mochizuki Chihaya.
Facing such a dense wave of attacks, Mochizuki Chihaya could only summon the Water Curtain Heaven Screen to shield herself inside.
But in her haste, Mochizuki Chihaya only managed to cast the first level of the Water Curtain Heaven Screen.
Against more than twenty Golden Thunder Blades, her water barrier only held for a moment before collapsing completely.
Countless bolts of lightning entwined around her, electrocuting Mochizuki Chihaya until her entire body went numb and weak, leaving her paralyzed on the ground.
