Versatile Mage

Jiang Shaoxu wheedled in a seductive tone.

Ai Jiangtu would not fall for her tricks.
He proceeded to explain to the team, “The maritime battlefield is our main destination in Japan.
It’s also the place for our first training.
Just to remind you, each country will hand in resources to the Magic Association, and these resources will be distributed to the national teams during their training.
The resources are allocated based on our contributions during the training.”

“Even so, there’s no need to be so enthusiastic,” whined Jiang Shaoxu in a sloppy tone.

“I believe many among us are still not Advanced Magicians yet.
The training here in Japan serves as a great opportunity for you to level up to the Advanced Level.
If you don’t want to, feel free to enjoy yourself in Tokyo,” replied Ai Jiangtu without giving face.

“An opportunity to level up to the Advanced Level… that’s some incredible resource! What exactly would it be?” said Zhao Manyan with glittering eyes.

“Mr.
Zhao, you shouldn’t be looking forward to it.
Resources will never be allocated to you since you’re a substitute.
Of course, that also includes Mu Ningxue and Mo Fan,” Mu Tingying said with a smile.

Zhao Manyan immediately asked Ai Jiangtu for confirmation in an unpleasant tone.

Ai Jiangtu nodded and replied, “It’s true that the resources aren’t allocated to the substitutes.”

“F**k me, that’s unfair!”

“You should be grateful that someone like you was given a chance to train with the team.
You have no talent, no outstanding cultivation, no high-level Soul Seed…” mocked Guan Yu at the perfect time.

“Damn it, you’re acting like you’re already an Advanced Magician, yet you’re still an Intermediate Level scum just like me!” cursed Zhao Manyan, pointing at Guan Yu.

“There are still quite a lot of Intermediate Magicians in this team,” said Jiang Yu, coughing deliberately.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” said Zhao Manyan in an awkward tone.

There was no reason for Ai Jiangtu to lie to his teammates.
Resources were not supposed to be distributed to the substitutes.
The decision was already made when the national team was formed.

As a matter of fact, if Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan and Mu Ningxue underperformed during the training in Japan, they would be replaced by others with outstanding performance who were defending China’s National Training Hall.

After all, they were only substitutes for the team.
Their treatment was a lot different than the official members.

It was unlikely that Mo Fan would be replaced, since he was already an Advanced Magician.
Some of the official members were not even Advanced Magicians yet.
On the other hand, Mu Ningxue and Zhao Manyan were in danger of being replaced.

Although Mu Ningxue’s strength was remarkable, she had yet to break through to the Advanced Level.

On top of that, she only had access to limited resources.
The Mu Clan supporting her had simply stopped providing her with resources after Mu He was exposed as the Black Vatican’s Great Deacon.
They had focused on developing Mu Tingying instead.

Mu Tingying was most likely extremely close to breaking through to the Advanced Level.
It was only a matter of time as long as she was given enough resources.

Meanwhile, Mu Ningxue’s cultivation was stuck at the limit of the Intermediate Level.
Her cultivation had not improved for some time.
She was actually starting to feel worried, even though she looked calm on the surface.

With her strength, she had a chance to compete for the resources granted to the national team.
Unfortunately, the substitutes were not meant to be allocated any of the resources, placing her in a difficult position.

When the trip to Japan came to an end, one of them would surely be replaced!

It was either her or Zhao Manyan!

Zhao Manyan had a wealthy financial group supporting him.
They would simply use lots of money to help him break through to the Advanced Level if needed.
As such, she had the highest chance of being replaced!
