Cao Guang put the matter of the Bodhi tree and Sacred Victorious Altar behind and concentrated on his teammates, his teammates couldn't hide their cultivation from him unless they used a potent magic equipment, which most of these guys didn't.
It was something the older generation preferred to use, what family would give that kind of expensive equipment to these juniors. With his Four element Advanced level cultivation he could easily see through these guys.
He could even find out which elements these guys broke through in if he directly probed them with his Divine sense.
He was sure everyone except Dongfang Qing and Mu Hua, Jiang Shaojun, Zhong Yuan and Du Ling had atleast one element in the Advanced level now, surprisingly that Lu Zhangtian had broken through before he even made it to the national team, but that explained the guy's confidence when facing Cao Guang.
By the end of their second mission all of them would surely be an Advanced mage for sure, as for how long it would take them to learn their spells Cao Guang was unsure.
He was also sure that Mu Yinfeng had yet to bring her secondary element Water to the advanced level, but he could feel that it wasn't far away either.
While he himself was enjoying the benefits of his pocket space after his recent breakthrough stabilised, he could carry a lot more stuff with him now.

"That's right, I will show you the difference between us Zhao Jing, someone like you who only managed get on the team because of the money you spent isn't worthy of being on the national team" Lu Zhangtian roared.
"Let's go to the arena then"
As a luxury cruise liner that would be on the seas for weeks, the ship had a plethora of options when it came to the entertainment of its passengers. Naturally there were arenas for Mages to battle it out, but killing was forbidden, just because they were on international waters didn't mean the place could become lawless.
The Captain of the ship was sure to be a bona fide Super mage and he was responsible for the safety of his crew and passengers.
What happened next in the training arena suprised everyone in the national team and audience, Lu Zhangtian who had broken through to the Advanced level in the Light element had beaten Zu Yuanjun yesterday and Zhao Jing today.
Both of them weren't as impressive as their future selves yet, Zu Yuanjun had completed the First part of the Curse Body Art at the intermediate level and didn't yet have the qualifications nor had he attained a Commander level spirit body, making his Curse Art quite weaker than usual.
As for Zhao Jing the lackadaisical young master had been pampered with the wealth of Zhaos since birth and had only recently become the student of an impressive mage, he had yet to become a strong person or a mage, and apparently Lu Zhangtian could control the Advanced spell of Light before both these guys, it seemed hatred was indeed a good motivation.
The guy had established his strength as soon as he got on board and pushed both Zu Yuanjun and Zhao Jing down, in his opinion only Cao Guang was a true opponent for him now.
Well he clearly had not paid attention to the talents or exploits of Mu Yinfeng, Gao Xuan and Song Xia and his new teammates that he miraculously pissed off had no intention of enlightening the guy before he got thrashed.
This experience taught Cao Guang that even though most of these guys were young masters of various eminent families, they had more dislike for each other than commoner mages.
Cao Guang was waiting for Lu Zhangtian to say the magic words and beat this guy up, but it seemed that he had other ideas as well. The next day he challenged Gao Xuan instead, he wanted to go through the esteemed members of the national team one by one and show why the advisors were wrong to let him be just a substitute.
Gao Xuan essentially won the battle easily when he established his domain, Lu Zhangtian who lacked one was powerless when faced with Gao Xuan's talent that nearly reached full potential.
His Innate Soul seed was fully flourished and improved his Earth Spells 4.5 times now, he might lack an offensive spell but none of Lu Zhangtian's spells or tactics worked against his unreasonable defences.
And his Domain quashed the guy like a bug, when he ran out of mana.
