Chapter 21: The Hunter and the Prey
The invitations to the Mu family were sent out very early, and the entire manor could be described as being filled with big names.

It can be seen that Mu Zhuoyun really put a lot of thought into Yu Ang's coming-of-age ceremony and raised him like his own son.

Unfortunately, an ungrateful person is still an ungrateful person after all and can never be tamed.

One luxury car after another drove into the Mu Manor along the winding mountain road.

Several outstanding students from the top class, such as Zhou Min, Mo Fan, and Xu Zhaoting, also got into Tang Yue's car and entered the Mu Manor.

In the words of Principal Zhu, it will be of great benefit to you to watch more competitions among the younger generation.

Not to mention, if one of Qin Zhan or Yu Ang could become Mo Fan's opponent, there was no reason for him not to come.

As time went by, important figures in Bocheng such as Principal Zhu, Deng Kai, and Yang Zuohe emerged.

These people were personally greeted by Mu Zhuoyun, Yu Ang and Qin Zhan.

Principal Zhu represents Taishan Beidou of the magic school, Bo City Magic School.

Deng Kai is the head of the Hunter Alliance and holds an extraordinary status.

Yang Zuohe is the representative of the Magic Association, and his power is very close to the top two.

On the military side is Zhan Kong, a high-level mage and the strongest fighter in Bo City.

"Mu Zhuoyun is really generous this time. I feel like everyone in Bo City who has some reputation has received an invitation and is here in person."

At this moment, some people were already whispering.

"Mu Ningxue's talent is obvious to all. The Mu family's position in Bo City will definitely be more than this in the future."

"Now, Mu Zhuoyun wants to introduce the successor of the Mu family. Unless you don't want to stay in Bo City anymore, you have to give him face."

A man from the Magic Association whispered.

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Another middle-aged man said.

"Exaggerated? Not at all. Look at how long it took us to become intermediate magicians, and then look at how old Mu Ningxue was before she took a half-step into the intermediate level."

"If you think in this way, you can speculate what level the Mu family's position in Bo City will reach in the future."

The speaker was a beautiful middle-aged woman who still had some charm.

"The pattern is too small. Today's two protagonists are extremely talented. Can you guess what level they have reached?"

An old man's voice sounded, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Old sir, tell me, how strong are these two?"

"Yes, yes, old man, if you know the inside story, just tell us."

The old man in a green robe and with silver hair said with a smile: "Yu Ang and Qin Zhan have both reached the third level of the beginner level. Although they are still some distance away from being mid-level magicians, they are first-class geniuses in Bo City."

"hiss!"

Everyone who heard it gasped.

The third level of the beginner level!

Although most of them were entry-level third-level magicians, when they reached this level, they were at least 30 years old.

Yu Ang just turned eighteen this year, and Qin Zhan is only seventeen!
"My dear friends, thank you for coming to congratulate my son!"

"Time flies by so fast. All of us will grow old one day. The future of Bo City will definitely be controlled by young people who are younger and better than us!"

“Let’s raise a toast to the bright future of Bo City and to those more outstanding young people!”

Mu Zhuoyun, sitting high in the main seat, raised the wine glass in his hand towards the guests with a flushed face.

“Let’s raise a toast to the bright future of Bo City!”

Yang Zuohe was the first to stand up and echoed Mu Zhuoyun.

"For the bright future of Bo City!"

All the guests stood up and raised their glasses to drink. Time passed slowly, the banquet gradually came to an end, and the highlight of the day was about to begin.

In fact, many people did not come to listen to Mu Zhuoyun's chicken soup, they just wanted to see how far the young people's magic duel could go.

Secondly, they are also looking forward to who will be the final winner of the Holy Spring.

There are many magicians in the whole city of Bo. These magicians linger at the beginner level all their lives and can only use one magic until they die.

There are very few magicians who can truly reach the intermediate level in Bo City.

Therefore, the Holy Earth Spring, which allows beginner magicians to have a high probability of breaking through to the intermediate level, instantly became a coveted holy object.

Unfortunately, due to the drying up of the sacred spring, it is only open to the younger generation who are full of infinite possibilities, and it is only open once every three years.

There is absolutely no hope for these old guys.

The magic duel began soon.

The dueling arena is oval in shape, much larger than the school's training ground and nearly the size of a playground.

There are ladder-style seats on both sides, enough to accommodate all the guests from Bo City for today's banquet.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yu Ang and Qin Zhan finally appeared.

Yuang's outfit today can be described as gorgeous.

The clothes on her body looked like leather, but also like high-grade silk.

It looks particularly bright under the sunlight.

With the decorations hanging on his body, he looks like a prince inspecting his territory.

Unfortunately, the emperor is not dead yet, and the princess and the prince are still alive. Can a mere prince still get a share of the territory?
After putting on this noble outfit, Yuang's temperament was instantly improved, and that gloomy feeling was reduced to the lowest level.

Qin Zhan's outfit was much simpler.

Black trousers, a black casual top, and a pair of gray canvas shoes.

If it weren't for his outstanding appearance, Qin Zhan would probably be impossible to find if he was thrown into a crowd.

His dark eyes narrowed slightly, occasionally flashing a gleam of light, and Qin Zhan was like a shrewd hunter.

Yes, in Tang Yue's eyes, Qin Zhan is an introverted and steady hunter.

And Yuang is like a rooster with bared teeth and claws.

Tang Yue didn't need to think too much about the outcome of the contest between the rooster and the hunter.

"Master Zhankong, could you please be the referee for this competition?"

Mu Zhuoyun smiled and asked Zhan Kong for instructions.

"No problem. Do you have any special requests? For example, can I use some magic tools?"

Zhan Kong nodded and asked back.

"Magic tools are not allowed, but other methods are allowed."

Mu Zhuoyun spoke.

Zhan Kong strode forward and came to the middle of Qin Zhan and Yu Ang, and said in a voice that everyone in the audience could hear: "The game is about to begin. No matter what situation you are in, you are not allowed to use magic tools. Those who violate this will be considered defeated."

Qin Zhan and Yu Ang nodded to show that they understood.

"Okay, just shake hands and wait for my instructions and you can start."

Zhan Kong stepped back slightly, but did not completely withdraw from the competition.

In this position, if anything unexpected happens, he can take action immediately.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether Yu Ang lives or dies, but nothing must happen to Qin Zhan!
