Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 304 The Beast of a Fallen Nation

Not long after, Pang Lai arrived and said:

"I didn't expect Eisendall to target you. Luckily, someone came to your aid."

He breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully they arrived in time, otherwise it would have been like eight years ago, with key players missing before the final.

"Chief, do you know the person who made the move?" Fang Yu asked.

“When you reach a certain level, you will meet sooner or later,” Pang Lai said ambiguously.

"Is the being behind that portal a beast that threatens the fate of the Chinese nation?" Fang Yu continued to ask.

"What is a beast that brings ruin to a nation?" Jiang Yu asked, puzzled.

“Every piece of land has a legendary creature, some of which have been forgotten, some buried in the thick soil of time, and some that are still revered in books and catalogs.”

"We call this book, which only has a table of contents and no content, the Tomb of the Fallen Kingdom!"

“I never expected that there was such a highly skilled summoning mage hidden in the country,” Pang Lai said with emotion. “Let’s not talk about that. You haven’t reached that level yet. You’ll find out in time. By the way, what brings you here?”

"Hmm~~~"

Fang Yu summoned the Snow Maiden, who wasn't in a particularly good state, and explained her condition.

Pang Lai looked at Xiao Xue Nu and asked, "Do you have money?"

"No, there's very little left," Fang Yu replied.

“By absorbing the power of the Soul Ice, she can quickly grow to the peak of the Commander level. Try to acquire more resources in the Treasure Hunt. This money will definitely be well worth the cost!” Pang Lai said, seeing Fang Yu’s predicament.

"Okay!" Since the master has given guidance, Fang Yu will just do as he is told.

"Little Snow Maiden, if you're not feeling well, go and sleep in the contract space. Don't worry, once Daddy has earned enough money, I'll buy you some Soul Ice, and I guarantee you'll reach the peak Commander level in no time!" Fang Yu comforted the extremely cold Little Snow Maiden softly, holding her in his arms.

Fang Yu is really going all out this time. He's determined to plunder all the resources in this treasure hunt; otherwise, he'd be doing a disservice to his cultivation level.

Fang Yu couldn't help but reveal a cunning, fox-like smile on his face!
"Waaah~~~" Little Snow Maiden was unusually obedient. After snuggling in Fang Yu's arms for a while, she returned to the contract space.

……

Time passed, and on the opening day of the treasure hunt, the whole world was greeted with a major announcement.

International Dark Master Eisendall has been found guilty, and the Holy Tribunal will carry out his arrest and execution without retrial!

Fang Yu had just arrived at the meeting place when he heard everyone discussing this matter, and the sensation it caused was truly astonishing!
Well, whatever Eisendall's purpose in trying to capture him, he's going to be killed by 'Dark Reaper Skeleton' anyway, so he won't cause any trouble.

The execution of this dark magician made Fang Yu realize just how terrifying those who play power games in this world can be.

Despite being unconscious, Izusa manipulated a forbidden spell with ease.
And this is why Essendel's trial before the Supreme Court resulted in his execution.

That's because Death God Skeleton is a subordinate of the Dark King, possessing the strength of a peak monarch, and in that Void Execution Ground, the power of darkness has no advantage.

Of course, despite the sensational nature of the event, the treasure hunt continued. Apart from the sixteen countries that were eliminated, the treasure hunt would be held simultaneously by the remaining sixteen powerful nations that remained in Venice.

The gathering place for the treasure hunt was the same venue as the opening ceremony. Unlike the previous venue setup, today's venue was filled with many magic stones that shimmered with a silvery luster. The silver magic stones were arranged in a long array, and Fang Yu could feel the spatial power surging actively within the entire array.

"A spatial magic array! It seems we're going to be teleported directly to the treasure hunting grounds!" Ai Jiangtu exclaimed.

"Such a huge spatial magic array, where are we going to be sent? Could it be the edge of some world?" Zhao Manyan stared wide-eyed.

This spatial magic array is indeed ridiculously large; heaven knows where it leads.

Spatial magic arrays are generally divided into two types. One type is the instantaneous transmission of space randomly. When Fang Yu and Asha'ruya were in the Midi Mountains, Asha'ruya set up a random spatial gate without a very clear spatial landing point.

Another type is a designated portal, which instantly teleports a person to a pre-set location...

The treasure hunt competition was attended by almost all members of the National Government team, with ten people on each team, totaling one hundred and sixty people, representing sixteen countries.

After the rules were explained, the students began to enter the spatial magic array one after another.

The participants were randomly selected and entered in different orders. Interestingly, among the 160 trainees, Fang Yu was among the first to draw a lot and became the first member of the Chinese National Academy team to enter the space magic array.

Fang Yu entered the great formation and soon felt the surrounding space begin to distort.

Fortunately, this wasn't Fang Yu's first time riding a spaceship. He calmly closed his eyes to avoid getting blinded by the spatial turbulence.

"Buzz~~~~~~~~~~~"

With a tremor, Fang Yu, who had been standing in everyone's sight just a second ago, suddenly disappeared into the spatial patterns, as fast as the blink of an eye...

When the spatial turbulence struck, Fang Yu, being a spatial mage himself, knew how to deal with it so as not to be tormented to the point of feeling weak and numb all over.

All the spatial transfers happened in the blink of an eye. Fang Yu opened his eyes, and the arena in front of him had disappeared. He could no longer see the sky over Venice, nor the sea of ​​spectators...

The hazy, murky sky twisted and turned strangely, looking like a huge, dark oil painting imprinted overhead, with an unreal quality.

The land is rugged and undulating, with towering peaks that seem to rise abruptly out of nowhere, a dark forest stretching across the horizon, a river flowing against the current, and a long valley echoing with heart-pounding cries...

Fang Yu looked around and felt an inexplicable sense of unease.

Although this environment has mountains, water, and sky, it feels like some illogical painter randomly pieced these scenes together in one place, which is very different from the visual coherence of real nature!

"Eee-ee~~~~~~~"

A few eagle cries came from above. Fang Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the eagle circling about a hundred meters above him.

"So that's a drone equipped with a camera?" Fang Yu looked up and gave the eagle a dashing smile.

The Eye Eagle is also a type of magical tool widely used by the military. Similar to the Evil Eye Bronze Mirror from the ancient capital, it can transmit everything the Eye Eagle sees through light magic and display it on the instrument as an image.

Since this is a competition witnessed by people all over the world, the treasure hunt cannot be left for the trainees to run around in a separate space. These eagles provide the best live broadcast effect, allowing people to see the trainees' performance here through these eagles.

These eagles were naturally set up well in advance, and they will closely follow the trainees, serving as both cameras and ensuring the trainees' safety.
