Chapter 585 The Ambiguous Abe, Jiang Han's Trump Card
Chapter 585 The Ambiguous Abe, Jiang Han's Trump Card
Above the Venice World University Competition arena, countless projection screens are broadcasting the progress of each participant live.
Meanwhile, in the audience, representatives from various countries were paying close attention to the situation of their own students. Of course, those representatives from countries that had already been eliminated in the knockout rounds were looking around, planning how to conduct diplomacy with these powerful magical nations.
The strength of the younger generation can represent part of the country's strength, so the representatives of those smaller countries are paying close attention to the situation on the field, because it is related to their future ability to curry favor with powerful countries. Bah, is that what you call currying favor with powerful countries? That's called establishing diplomatic relations, don't you understand?
Most of the images on the projection screen were battlefield scenes, except for one live stream where there were no trainees, but instead a dense army of water monsters, the smallest of which were seven or eight meters long.
"Holy crap, who's the unlucky one who ran into a water monster tide?"
"A demon tide of this level, let alone those students, even I would run away if I encountered it."
"I wonder if the regional referee had arrived. Otherwise, this unlucky guy who encountered the water monster tide probably wouldn't have even had a chance to escape using a spatial scroll."
The murmurs from the representatives of several smaller countries quickly caught the attention of the bigwigs. Abe Jiro, who had previously suffered a setback, seemed to have discovered something new and remarked with amusement, "That looks like a student from the Chinese team. I wonder how he's doing now. I hope he doesn't die in this treasure hunt!!"
"Ampère, you've gone a bit too far," Miguel said angrily, frowning.
"I'm just worried about the students on behalf of the Chinese delegation. What bad intentions could I possibly have?" Abe Jiro said nonchalantly.
Abe no Jiro's words ignited Pang Lai's anger, causing the magical elements around him to surge uncontrollably. Although he didn't know what was happening in that space, encountering such a large-scale water demon tide posed a risk of death, and Abe no Jiro was still barking strangely here. Pang Lai really couldn't hold back anymore!
"Chief, why are you getting angry at a dog that's barking like that?" Han Ji's voice rang out beside Pang Lai.
He had just glanced at the projection screen and saw that everyone else was being broadcast live except for Jiang Han, so naturally, it could only be Jiang Han who encountered the water demon tide.
For others, this would indeed be a death sentence, but for Jiang Han, it was only a bit difficult, not dangerous. Although he hadn't seen Jiang Han for a while, he had seen the Skeleton Nether Dragon before. With that monarch-level contracted creature, that kid could easily sweep through the alternate dimension.
"Hmm?" Pang Lai suppressed his aura and looked at Han Ji beside him with a puzzled expression.
"That kid is no ordinary person. He also has a very impressive contracted beast. You should continue watching the match," Han Ji said with a smile.
Pang Lai then remembered that the kid also had a summoning ability. He had only heard about how Jiang Han's own strength far surpassed that of his peers. As for the contracted beast, he had also heard his disciple say that it was very powerful. As for what level it was, Jiang Yu always hesitated and couldn't give a clear answer. It seemed that he would have to give his disciple more responsibility after the World Academy Competition ended.
Then Pang Lai looked at the projection screen that belonged to Jiang Han again. Perhaps to make it easier for the big shots in the audience to watch the game, the person in charge of the projection, after getting approval, specially placed Jiang Han's projection in the very center of the game screen and enlarged it.

Independent space, Blue Abyss Mirror Lake
Summoned by the Mirror Lake Overlord, the Illusionary Void Poisonous Dragon, countless water demons living in the lake, like warriors receiving orders, swam one after another towards the direction from which the sound came. They did not know what they were about to face, only that they had to obey the overlord's orders, otherwise a terrible disaster would befall them.
Led by the water demon tide, the eagle soon came across two enormous creatures at war: a gigantic bone dragon that blotted out the sky, and a dragon over a hundred meters long with silver-white horns.
Under the intimidating aura of a monarch-level creature, the Eye Eagle dared not approach and could only hover in the air at a distance, as it risked falling if it got too close.
When the Eye Eagle and the Water Demon Tide arrived, the Illusionary Void Poisonous Flood Dragon had already fought with Long Da several times and had dozens of wounds of various sizes on its body.
"Roar!!" Seeing his water demons arrive, the Illusionary Void Poison Dragon endured the pain and commanded them to charge towards Jiang Han and Long Da.
Whether the water demons can reach Long Da is not something the Illusionary Void Poison Dragon needs to worry about. It summoned its water demons only to buy itself time to escape, so the Illusionary Void Poison Dragon does not expect its water demons to cause any harm to Long Da and the others.
Jiang Han stood atop Long Da's mountain-like head, gazing at the densely packed water demons in the lake. He roughly estimated there were nearly a thousand, but their strength varied greatly, with the weakest being only at the servant level and the strongest even being water snakes at the peak of the Grand Commander level.
This level of demonic tide is even more terrifying than the Bo City disaster of yesteryear, but in Jiang Han's eyes now it's not even a problem; Long Da can solve most of it with a single breath.
"Long Da, continue to pursue the Illusionary Void Poisonous Dragon. As for these small fry, leave them to me!" As he spoke, a pair of wings unfolded from Jiang Han's back—the Azure Cloud Wings. He then flapped his wings and flew into the air, and grayish-white Yin energy began to spread from him.
"When it comes to numbers, I'm not afraid now." A gray-white star map slowly took shape beneath Jiang Han's feet.

"Hymn to the Dead!!"
The yin energy quickly enveloped the lake surface within a radius of several miles. Then, one by one, the demons or creatures that had perished in this area began to revive, albeit in the form of undead. The strongest was a nearly 100-meter-long rotting fish demon with the strength of a great commander. In terms of numbers, the undead that Jiang Han revived were no less than the tide of water demons summoned by the Illusionary Void Poison Dragon.
"Let's begin!" As Jiang Han gave the order, the undead he had resurrected began to rush towards the water demon and fight it out.
This large-scale resurrection of the undead instantly drained most of Jiang Han's magical energy, leaving him slightly pale. However, he still managed to stay afloat in mid-air, watching the battle between the undead creatures and the water demons below.
