Chapter 519 Forbidden Technique, Arrival in the United States
"Li Kaifeng just used a forbidden technique that can temporarily multiply the power of magic," Jiang Han said.
"It's the Bloodstained Technique. This forbidden technique does indeed have the effect of temporarily increasing the power of magic, just as Jiang Han said."
"This kind of strange technique is difficult to control in terms of the extracted magical energy and the power of the released magic. In addition, the training process of this forbidden technique is too inhumane, so it has long been banned by the major magic associations. I just don't know how Li Kaifeng learned it," Zhao Manyan said.
"The Bloodstained Mystic Art, is it related to the Azure Society? I remember the Azure Society was banned worldwide, wasn't it?" Jiang Shaoxu asked as if she had just remembered something.
Forbidden arts are different from magic; to be more precise, they are two different concepts. During the practice of forbidden arts, not only will one's own body and mind be damaged, but others may also be harmed, causing incalculable destruction.
Magic is a path explored by countless people, while forbidden arts are created by certain extreme mages. For example, the Bloodstained Art is an ability obtained from the Azure Sea Siren. Its essence is to integrate the blood of the Azure Sea Siren, thereby achieving a single-target amplification effect similar to that of the Azure Sea Siren.
However, forbidden techniques are not entirely forbidden from being cultivated or used. For example, the Jiang family's Blood Burning Thunder Technique, which is a forbidden technique registered with the Magic Association and can be controlled, can be preserved, but it can only circulate within the Jiang family.
When Jiang Han encountered danger in Jinling City, the Jiang family members who perished together with the Li family used the Blood Burning Thunder Technique.
Forbidden arts and evil arts are two different concepts. For example, the Flesh and Poison Body that Kasuo used before is a forbidden art. As for the Black Calling, which turns living people into black beasts and cursed beasts, it is completely an evil art. Evil arts, in the end, are about using other people's lives to increase strength.
Although Li Kaifeng's use of the Bloodstained Technique did not cause too much harm, according to the relevant rules of the National Server Competition, he was eliminated the moment he used the Bloodstained Technique.
"Sigh." Dean Songhe glanced at Li Kaifeng and sighed helplessly, "This time, we made you fight among yourselves, not to make you leave the National Team for good. It's just that Li Kaifeng, your actions this time have really disappointed us."
Li Kaifeng was a representative student of South China United University and had even participated in the World University Competition. He was highly regarded by several high-ranking members of the Songhe University Association, but who knew...
"I'm sorry, Professor Songhe, I have let you down."
"I just didn't want to leave the National Team, I didn't really mean to hurt Jiang Yu," Li Kaifeng said apologetically.
Dean Songhe shook his head and said, "You should apologize not to us, but to your teammates."
Li Kaifeng then approached Jiang Yu, who was still receiving treatment, and apologized to him. He also vowed that he would never touch such forbidden techniques again. Although Jiang Yu was very unhappy with Li Kaifeng's actions during the competition, he ultimately chose to forgive him.
Considering Li Kaifeng's good attitude in admitting his mistake, the mentors did not eliminate him. Instead, they deducted the resources that originally belonged to him and kept him in the team for further evaluation. If he performed poorly in the following training, they would send him back to China.
After the battle between Li Kaifeng and Jiang Yu ended, it was Zhao Manyan's turn to fight Guan Yu. In the end, Zhao Manyan won. The reason was that Guan Yu's magic power was exhausted, and Zhao Manyan used a powerful attack to send him out of the arena.
The battle between Mu Yingting and Zu Jiming ended with Zu Jiming winning. After several rounds of duels, Jiang Yu and Li Kaifeng were at the bottom. In the end, it was still Li Kaifeng's fault. If he hadn't used forbidden techniques to fight Jiang Yu to the death, they wouldn't have ended up in such a bad situation.
After the elimination rounds ended, Jiang Yu remained a regular member, while Li Kaifeng was demoted from a regular member to a substitute. Zhao Manyan, a substitute, took his place, bringing the team to fourteen members.
Afterwards, Feng Li called Mo Fan aside and scolded him, mainly because of his killing of Lu Yilin. However, he kindly reminded him to be careful of the Lu family's retaliation after the national server competition.

After the elimination rounds, the National Government team did not stay in Baitou City, but went directly to Moses Song to "challenge" the National Government team. Although the Moses Song National Government team was quite strong, it was still much weaker than the Chinese National Government team.
This time, only Zu Jiming, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan made their move in the "challenge". Among the three, apart from Zu Jiming's relatively average performance, Mo Fan's firepower and Zhao Manyan's turtle-shell-like defense made the two national team members who faced them question their existence.
Overall, the acquisition of the Moses Song badges went relatively smoothly, bringing everyone one step closer to the final Venice Academy competition.
After the Song of Moses, the next country to "challenge" the National Hall is the United States. However, the United States is one of the world's five super magical powers, so it will be quite difficult for them to obtain the National Hall Badge this time. Of course, this is assuming that Jiang Han does not intervene. If Jiang Han intervenes, the difficulty may drop sharply.
The World Intercontinental Magic Association, the highest magic association in North America—the Temple of Liberty—is located in New York City, USA. It is the true holy temple of magic in the world, and serving as a temple mage in the Temple of Liberty is the dream of countless people.
The United States' national pavilion is located on Liberty Island, where the Temple of Liberty is situated. After successfully obtaining the national pavilion badge from Moses, the group wanted to visit the Magic Sanctuary and experience the awe and grandeur of the world's most dazzling magical place.
Therefore, upon arriving in New York, the group immediately went to the Temple of Liberty. From the harbor, they could clearly see the Statue of Liberty, which looked as if it were standing on the ocean.
The statue of the goddess stands tall by the sea, radiating a holy blue and golden light that inspires awe. The art of the statue is beyond imagination, giving one the illusion that an ancient Greek goddess is standing there, looking down with her kind, serene, and peaceful gaze upon her people under the light of her freedom.

Although they visited the temple, unfortunately, they were not allowed to visit it. Therefore, in the end, none of the Nationalist team members were able to enter the temple. Nevertheless, this still filled everyone with emotion and awe.
This time, the person who greeted everyone was the female mage Oluna, whom they had met before. Oluna, dressed in black and gold, had a touch of the aloofness and beauty of the Nordic region, but when she saw Jiang Han, a smile still appeared on her face.
Ultimately, her success in wiping out the Red Ornament Guild was largely due to Jiang Han's severe injury to the guild's leader, Kaso.
"I'll take you to the National Pavilion. Strictly speaking, I'm practically a teacher there," Oluna said with a smile.
