A mage's journey begins with a battle mage.

Chapter 503 Raising a Bunch of Ungrateful People

Once something receives attention from higher authorities, it absolutely cannot be handled hastily.

Although it was obvious that the alchemist didn't simply want to see the two mages compete, Kou, as the organizer, couldn't afford to perform too poorly.

You dare to try and fool a legendary mage who can kill several legendary figures? Do you really have a death wish?

This isn't a matter of ability; it's a matter of attitude.

If something isn't done well enough, it might be a matter of ability; but if it could be done well and yet isn't, then the problem lies with the attitude.

In order to please his superiors, Kou made a last-minute decision to add a whole bunch of projects and then changed their names overnight.

The original name was Magic Arena Tournament, but it felt too dry. After all, it wasn't important before, so he just picked a name randomly. Now that things are different, it's natural to choose a new name.

The Mage Alliance Elemental Cup Mage Arena Tournament – ​​that's the new name.

Along with this came a whole host of special programs and new projects.

These include extreme spellcasting survival competitions, spell-based combat without chanting, multi-casting blitzkrieg, node battles, polymorph fun tournaments, potion-making master competitions, illusion creation competitions, elemental pet battles, and more.

It can be said that everything that can be thought of has been added. Anyway, since Jiang Shuzhou is coming to see it, the budget has been fully booked, so there is no need to worry about insufficient budget.

As long as there are rewards, participants can easily find a whole bunch.

Kou went to great lengths to please Jiang Shuzhou.

"Kou, right? Give me the list of participants and the details of the events."

Kou was nearly scared to death when he saw the tall, thin dummy in front of him.

As an agent of Jiang Shuzhou's will, the fake man holds positions in many departments, but none of them are reputable.

The cleaning department is specifically responsible for compiling lists of people who work with TuTu.

The Academic Ethics Committee, the internal review department of the Sotheby's, sounds like a department set up to prevent research from being too inhumane.

In reality, unless it's a massacre, the Academic Ethics Committee won't get involved; that's the Executive Council's job. The Academic Ethics Committee only judges whether these scholars are loyal.

Or rather, did they betray us?

The Soth Society does not restrict members from leaving or staying, as long as they have not signed a training agreement.

But Jiang Shuzhou hates traitors. If you don't want to stay, you can leave. If you betray someone, then you have a problem.

"Ahem, here you go, this is the relevant information."

Kou handed the information to the imposter, and also slipped him some local specialties.

"The Creator will come in a few days, so I hope you won't lose your chain then."

The fake man said, then left with the local specialties from the spatial ring.

These local specialties were certainly not enough to bribe him, but since the information was indeed correct, he didn't press the matter further, simply offering a reminder before leaving.

"Phew, finally we're gone."

Kou watched the fake man leave, patted his chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't really have any problems, but don't forget, sometimes these kids may not make any decisions, but they can cause trouble.

To avoid any trouble, Kou didn't hesitate to slip in the money.

While monks generally lack social skills, this is not always the case.

At least Kou knows it quite well.

A week later, the grand Elemental Cup Mage Arena Tournament began.

Thanks to Jiang Shuzhou's arrival, the prizes for this competition are more than ten times higher than before, and many new events have also been added.

This has led to an unprecedented surge in public enthusiasm for participation.

"Son, Mom is telling you something, you must be careful this time you participate in the competition..."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just let things take their course."

Looking at his son, Wang Bowen felt a pang of emotion.

He had a son late in life and thought that was how his life would be. But he never expected that his son would become a monk, which changed his fate.

"Sigh, old man, you... those big shots from the alliance are coming to see us. What if our son is talented and they take a liking to him? That would be..."

"Alright, alright, stop thinking so much. Let things take their course. If you can get the reward, then get it. If not, then so be it. As for being noticed? I doubt it."

Professor Wang shook his head and went back to handling his work.

As someone who had contact with Jiang Shuzhou, he knew the nature of this legendary figure well. He was willing to take on apprentices, but their talent had to be exceptional.

But are there really people in this league who can meet his talent requirements?

To become a legend in ten years, what kind of talent is that?

It's no exaggeration to say that this is a once-in-a-hundred-thousand-years event.

"Okay, Dad, I'll do my best."

"Then let's go."

Inside a castle.

Ye Chen is preparing the medicine.

Now, he is already a mid-level alchemist.

"The Elemental Cup Mage Tournament? Perhaps I could participate too."

Even with such a generous reward, Ye Chen was still tempted.

After graduating, he received a fiefdom and began a monotonous period of development.

He's learned his lesson; after all, no one will protect him from the wind and rain, and if something goes wrong, it will be utterly disastrous.

It just goes to show he's not stupid.

Mervo is incredibly lively right now, with competitors from all over the world gathered together.

"It's really lively."

Kosoroya walked the streets of Merv, looking at the energetic young people, and felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi - mixed feelings of admiration and reflection).

"That's natural, after all, the competition is about to start."

"The Ember Angel said from the side."

He was responsible for representing Jiang Shuzhou and directing Kosoroya to see him.

It can only be said that Jiang Shuzhou did give Kosoroya some face, after all, a legend personally greeted him.

"The league's competitions are really well organized. I wish the Empire could have them someday."

Upon hearing this, the Angel of Annihilation said something meaningful.

"It's not far off."

He then remained silent and led Kosoroya directly to the door of Jiang Shuzhou's private room.

The private room in front of them was enormous, and there were a bunch of faceless puppets standing on both sides like waiters.

"Come in, let's talk."

Jiang Shuzhou's voice rang out, and then the door to the private room opened directly.

Taking a deep breath, Kosoroya stepped straight in.

"Your Excellency Kosoroya, how are things lately?"

While enjoying Renodia's lap pillow and being fed, Jiang Shuzhou said lazily.

"To be honest, the situation is very bad."

Kosoroya said.

"Rosemary is completely reckless, taking advantage of her impending death to pull this stunt; it's tantamount to shaking the foundations of the nation!"

"I understand, it's just that I feel like I can end it all with death, and I'm preparing for one last gamble."

Although Jiang Shuzhou did not approve of Rosemary's actions, he could understand them.

"Perhaps. I've brought another piece of information with me this time."

"What? Intelligence?"

"Someone is already planning to assassinate Rosemary."

"That's normal."

Jiang Shuzhou pointed to the dream cherries beside him, indicating that he wanted to eat them, and Renotia obediently fed Jiang Shuzhou the cherries and carefully collected the pits.

Kosoroya watched, his lips twitching, not because of Jiang Shuzhou's enjoyment, but because he could tell that the strength of the person in front of him, Renotia, was at least legendary.

How come he has so many legendary girlfriends?

Although he thought this way, Kosoroya didn't dare to ask; he simply continued speaking.

"That might be normal, but what if her sons also planned to assassinate her? Or even more than one?"

Jiang Shuzhou was taken aback, then chuckled softly.

"That just shows she wasn't a good mother; she raised a bunch of ungrateful wretches."
