Rebirth in the Spirit World, the Goddess's Brilliant Counterattack

The day before departure, Chen Zhirun gathered everyone together to hold a mobilization meeting before the competition. It was still the same office as the initial training, with the same people, but the tension at that time had turned into calm determination.

Chen Zhirun looked at the young but resolute faces in front of him, and his tone became much gentler. "This time, we will go to Ruien Country, and Professor Wang Qianyi and I will lead the team. A foreign country is different from your homeland. I hope everyone will obey the instructions, stay vigilant, and put safety first. When Professor Wang and I are not here, everything will be arranged by the captain. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

"After this month of training, I have seen your growth. We have not won the International Magic Olympiad championship for many years, but I have full confidence in you in this year's competition. I hope you have confidence in yourselves as well."

The five men stood tall, their faces showing a determination to win.

Chen Zhirun smiled. Young people, who hasn't been frivolous? Moreover, they have such strength.

The next day, the Chinese National Magic Team, led by Professor Chen Zhirun and Wang Qianyi, packed their bags and boarded the flight to Ryan's Magic Navigation Class. Ahead was their arena!

It takes nearly nine hours to fly from the capital to Ryantown. They didn't want to waste time, so they took out magic scrolls and studied spells.

Lilia sat next to Li Yanshuang, and seeing that she was nodding her head tiredly, she gently took the scroll from her hand.

Unexpectedly, Li Yanshuang woke up immediately and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Take a break. It doesn't matter if you take a break for a while." Lilia said softly.

"No." Li Yanshuang bit her lower lip and shook her head, trying to cheer herself up, "I want to finish reading this spell."

In the distant fantasy world, she is well aware of her position. Among the five elites of the country, she, Li Yanshuang, is undoubtedly the lowest in terms of wisdom and magical talent. Her only chance of success is her unremitting efforts.

Alas, Li Li sighed softly, looking at her tired expression, worried that she would be defeated by endless hard work before she even stepped into the arena in Dun City.

The slender jade-like fingers gently brushed across Li Yanshuang's brows and gently covered her eyes. "Take a rest for a while, your dreams will protect you."

Li Li's voice was like the whisper of an elf. Although Li Yanshuang forced her eyelids open, she could not resist the invasion of fatigue and slowly fell into a dream.

Looking out the window, the misty white clouds are like a mysterious veil. The rosy glow gradually penetrates and dyes the sky red, which is as beautiful as a painting.

Li Li put away the magic communicator and, with a click, captured this poetic scene, intending to share it with the mysterious man marked as "The Little Prince" when the time is right.

She had never expected that the "little prince" Jiangnan was also on the flight to Ruger at this moment.

"Third brother, isn't our agreement with Master Robert for seven days later? Why is Fifth Master so anxious?" Jiang Shi glanced at the tiredness in Jiang Nan's eyes and asked Jiang Jiu beside him in a low voice.

In order to set off early, Wu Ye has compressed the subsequent work into just a few days.

Jiang Jiu squinted his eyes slightly. What else could it be for? Of course it was for Miss Li.

Jiang Shi, Jiang Jiu, Jiang Qi, and Jiang Lu, these four orphans were once sponsored by the Jiang family. Now they have grown up. Jiang Nan sent them to travel around to learn magic, and they naturally became Jiang Nan's indispensable right-hand men.

Jiang Jiu always accompanies Jiang Nan, and the other three are sent by Jiang Nan to garrison in foreign lands. Jiang Shi is the key person in charge of Ruge's affairs.

Jiang Jiu responded vaguely: "You will understand soon." He didn't know how to mention Miss Li, and it was not appropriate to discuss the private affairs of Master Wu in private.

Jiang Shi became more confused after hearing this, as if some major changes had occurred in a time and space unknown to him.

Jiangnan and Li Li's flights landed at the sky port of Dun City one after another. It was still bitterly cold in Dun City at the end of April, and the sky was shrouded in a layer of mysterious fog, giving people a heavy feeling of depression.

Jiangnan looked at the little girl in thick clothes walking out of the plane and suddenly smiled.

Jiang Shi followed Wu Ye's gaze and saw a crowd of people surging. Who was Wu Ye paying attention to?

Just as he was about to leave, the magic communicator vibrated slightly. Jiangnan seemed to sense something. When he looked up, he saw the little girl putting the device back into her pocket.

He unlocked the screen, and the photo of Li Li in the sunset glow at an altitude of ten thousand meters appeared before his eyes, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

"Let's go." Let's deal with business first and don't disrupt the little girl's game.

Jiang Shi whispered, "Why did Fifth Master's mood suddenly improve?"

Jiang Jiu showed an all-knowing smile, the deep meaning of which no one could understand.

Li Li had never been to a foreign country before, and although she had made sufficient mental preparations, she had never expected that the cold in Dun City would be so biting. She tried her best to wrap herself in clothes and crossed her hands in her sleeves to keep warm.

"Why haven't the people from Dunshi College come yet?" Chen Zhirun frowned as he watched the children shivering.

This arcane competition was held at the Dun City Academy in Ruger. This ancient institution with a history of nearly three hundred years is a place that scholars all over the world yearn to visit.

They had already arrived at the port, but the welcoming team had not yet arrived, and the person in charge could not be contacted...

Under Aldrich's fifth gaze, the hands of the clock of time finally trembled and appeared.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Chen, the magic academy encountered some accidents." The visitor had black magical curly hair and blue eyes like stars. His accent had the unique rhythm of Edrick City and was full of apologies.

"I'm Professor Belser, and I'm in charge of all non-competitive matters on your trip."

"It's okay, let's set off." Chen Zhirun was new to the foreign world, and he maintained his composure in front of his host.

"Very good. Please come this way." Belser gracefully performed a wizard's salute and pushed open the carriage inlaid with the emblem of the Magic Academy. The emblem evolved from the ancient Tower of Wisdom and was shining brightly.

Edrick is an ancient and mysterious city, with traces of history whispering in every corner. It is the birthplace of the world's first portal and the mysterious wizard telephone booth.

Different from the bustling international metropolis, Edric is more like a noble witch, with a dignified and quiet beauty.

The buildings bear the marks of successive magical eras, and after years of baptism, they are filled with a strong magical atmosphere.

Edric School of Magic is located in the Bloomsbury area in the heart of the city. It takes about half an hour to get there from the airship station. The carriage goes through the dormitory area. The dormitories prepared for the contestants are quite outstanding. They are all single suites with magic kitchens and private bathrooms.

Belser let them choose their own dormitories. The restaurant was only a few magic steps away from the dormitory. The entire dormitory building was occupied by participating students. Everyone should rest today as the opening ceremony will be held tomorrow.

“If you have any needs, please contact me or go to the reception on the first floor.”

"I see. Thank you for your concern." Chen Zhirun expressed his gratitude politely.

Belser left with a smile, walked to the bottom floor, and ran into a colleague.

"Hey, Belser, how are you today?" With a hint of sarcasm, receiving magicians from various countries is always a tricky task. Unfortunately, Belser was chosen by the magic lottery.

"What else can we do?" Belser said, looking a little tired. "We just sent off the last batch of apprentices from China."

A colleague asked curiously, "How strong is the Chinese team this year?" China is famous for its strong magic foundation, but its magical innovation is often questioned. I wonder how this year's contestants will perform?

Belser recalled for a moment. The five Chinese apprentices rarely talked to each other on the road. He answered carefully: "The appearance... is quite outstanding."

My colleague was speechless. It was obvious that this was not his main concern.

A burly blond apprentice passed by and caught their conversation. He rolled his eyes and thought to himself.

After Belser left, Li Li and others randomly chose dormitories. Li Yanshuang immediately expressed her desire to live next to Li Li. Finally, it was decided that the five apprentices would live in the middle, while Chen Zhirun and Professor Wang would occupy the two ends respectively, so that they could be ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

The long magical journey was tiring, and after resting for two magical hours, everyone felt refreshed.

"Let's go, let's explore first and then eat." Chu Hai suggested excitedly.

Everyone nodded in agreement. It was a rare visit and no one wanted to spend time just in the dormitory.

The team leader was unanimously elected to seek Chen Zhirun's opinion. Li Li had no choice but to ask. Chen Zhirun agreed that the children's magic English was fluent and they should be able to cope with it in the academy...

"Wow, is this the legendary mysterious octagonal tower?" Li Yanshuang exclaimed.

A majestic tower stood before them, as if carrying endless secrets of the ages and profound magical knowledge. Apprentices of magic passed by and occasionally cast a glance, including many faces from the East.

"Are you the Chinese team here to participate in the Arcane Showdown?" A Chinese student studying at a magic academy asked excitedly when he heard them speaking in their native language.

"That's right, senior sister." Li Yanshuang responded quickly.

"I'm He Shan, a student from the Department of Magic Engineering in Zidian Province." The senior student introduced herself kindly, and others also introduced themselves.

"It's rare to see new Chinese faces. Our school's Chinese Magic Alliance has a gathering tonight. Are you interested? We can come and enjoy it together." Meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign country, He Shan extended an invitation enthusiastically.

Everyone looked at Li Li at the same time. Those expectant eyes made Li Li unable to refuse.

"Of course, Senior, we are happy to participate."

"Then come with me, and don't go to the cafeteria." He Shan frowned and said with a little disdain, "The Chinese cuisine in the cafeteria is really hard to describe. The food made by our alliance has the authentic taste."

Looking at He Shan's expression, Li Li remembered the magic ingredients she brought with her, and it seemed inappropriate to go to the gathering empty-handed.

"Senior, wait for us for a moment."

Li Li and her group ran back to the dormitory and took out the magical ingredients from their luggage. The others also took out their own reserves.

“Woo woo woo, magic chicken feet, phantom duck head, wizard pig’s trotters, and the secret recipe of my aunt from my hometown…” He Shan looked at the sumptuous food in front of her and was so moved that she almost shed magic tears.

Not to mention those authentic magic braised dishes, even the secret recipes of the aunties in my hometown are often in short supply here. You can’t buy them and can only rely on family members to send them to you.
