Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Although Lin Lan didn't participate in this battle, he still just blindly pressed the attack and won 100% of the time.

Lin Lan, as the ace player, actually wanted to go up and try her hand at the game, but the mentor wouldn't allow it, so there was nothing she could do.

The winnings arrive in your account in a second—1.2 billion yuan! It's just a matter of moving your fingers; it's incredibly exciting.

Zhao Manyan also went to tell Mo Fan the good news.

"Look, the money arrived in a minute, we're all rich! Lin Lan gambled 500 million, and I saw you all bet, so I also placed 100 million and made 200 million!" Zhao Manyan quickly took out his phone and handed it to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan glanced at the astonishing numbers on the screen, and his expression instantly brightened.

I used to resent Zhao Manyan, but now I don't feel that way at all.

"5 million???" Mo Fan was momentarily dazed, almost thinking he was seeing things.

"Of course! Our Chinese team has high odds! Everyone thought Spain would win. When the catastrophe and tsunami occurred, all those who bet on Spain cheered. But you turned the tide and they lost everything! Those who bet on our own country were so moved they almost cried, and they lined up to say they wanted to recognize you as their father!" Zhao Manyan said with a loud laugh.

There are all kinds of people in this world. Some people spend four years analyzing the magical situation in various countries and studying the information of the national team members, making money by predicting the outcome of the game; others bet all their savings, even at the cost of going into debt.

Despite strict international regulations requiring asset verification for bets exceeding 100,000 to ensure that bets do not exceed 30% of total assets, some people still exploit loopholes and gamble everything.

……

"From today onwards, our National Government team should receive more attention from many countries," said Instructor Feng Li with a serious expression.

The competition was won, but the mentor didn't smile at all. He's such a strange person; it's as if nothing in the world can satisfy him.

“Indeed. With these consecutive victories, the opponents we face in the future will be even stronger. Now that most of our students’ magic types and strengths have been exposed, we must be extra careful from now on. Even a single wrong combination of magic types could lead to defeat,” Songhe said.

"Our next opponent hasn't been decided yet, everyone should get some rest," said Chief Mage Pang Lai.

"By the way, haven't the rewards for this year been announced yet? In previous years, they would be announced at the start of the competition. Why are they still not being announced this year?" Han Ji suddenly remembered something and asked.

“The prize for first place is becoming clearer. The student will receive a Divine Seal Praise ceremony, which will be held by the Parthenon itself, atop Mount Kinabalu in Athens,” Pang Lai replied.

"Divine Seal Praise?? Such an abstract thing? Isn't there anything more concrete? Like a reward of ten or twenty billion?" Mo Fan, being ignorant of the law, couldn't help but interject.

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?" Mo Fan quickly noticed that everyone was looking at him strangely, so he couldn't help but ask.

"You really should read more books." Mu Ningxue's cool voice rang out, as detached from worldly affairs as ever.

"The Divine Blessing is something that money can't buy!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed dramatically, as if he were more excited than seeing a naked goddess. "It's a divine skill of the blessing type! The person who receives the blessing will receive an eternal boost to their strength!"

"What do you mean?" Mo Fan still didn't quite understand.

“You know, from the moment a mage awakens, the base power of their magical skills can be considered as 1. Mortal seeds amplify this by 1, so the final power is only related to the skill's rank. But with spirit seeds and soul seeds, the power doubles—spirit seeds are 2 to 3 times, and soul seeds are 4 to 6 times…” Han Ji knew Mo Fan was a practical person, so he patiently explained. “I know that,” Mo Fan nodded.

“Divine Seal Praise is different. Unlike Spirit Seeds and Soul Seeds, it doesn’t depend on magic. Instead, it directly enhances the magician’s own basic power, turning that ‘1’ into ‘1.5’,” Han Ji continued.

Mo Fan's mouth dropped open. He may not have read many magic books, but that didn't mean he was stupid. Hearing this explanation, his face was filled with shock!

“A very small number of people possess innate talent, whose base power might reach 1.2 or 1.3. Even if such people use ordinary seeds, their skills will be more powerful. If they also have spirit seeds or soul seeds, the amplification will be even more terrifying. However, this kind of talent is one in ten thousand, and the base power will never increase with cultivation level. It starts at 1 and will always remain at 1. The only way to enhance it later in life is through the divine skill of the Parthenon Temple, Divine Seal Praise!” Han Ji explained in detail.

……

The Divine Seal Praise to Lin Feng will definitely be applied to the lightning element. Using seven times the Heavenly Punishment Divine Lightning on top of the 1.5 base, that's 10.5 times the lightning magic.

A single mid-level level 5 spell would be enough to kill any commander, big or small, in a matter of minutes.

The second-place reward is the Void Altar, located deep within the Holy Kai Altar. It is widely recognized as the world's top cultivation holy land, and its cultivation acceleration effect is immeasurable.

For high-level mages, advancing a level in cultivation after entering the Void Altar is commonplace. Many mages stuck at the peak of the high-level realm are willing to go bankrupt just to gain a chance to enter the Void Altar, hoping to break through to the high-level realm and step into the coveted super-level realm.

Lin Lan has broken through to the Super Rank, and in comparison, the Divine Seal Praise can still provide greater assistance.

The third-place prize is a set of rare magical artifacts. Most magical artifacts are made of different materials, and the parts are often difficult to match.

Next up is the treasure hunt, and that's where the mentor came up with the topic.

"The upcoming treasure hunt is the most crucial part of the entire academy's competition!"

The treasure hunt is essentially an international resource pooling effort, with participants competing to distribute the spoils. Each country sends young mages to participate, and the amount won depends entirely on merit – undoubtedly the fairest and most exciting distribution method!
"The format of each treasure hunt is different. I wonder what interesting rules will be in store this year," Han Ji said with a smile.

"There's something I must remind you: the treasure hunt isn't just a competition between students; you might be entering some dangerous environments. Although the international organizers will do everything they can to ensure your safety, there have indeed been cases of death in the past. So please be extremely cautious, prioritize your lives, and avoid greed!" Feng Li was indeed still the same old-fashioned and serious instructor, timely pouring cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.

……

However, the treasure hunt began just a few days later.

Lin Lan plans to go all out in the treasure hunt, as there are countless treasures and a wide variety of items to be found there.

Lin Lan is also short of resources right now. With eight types of magic, as long as she is cultivating, each type can cost a fortune.

"Let me explain the rules." The head referee stepped forward and read aloud to the crowd in clear and standard international English, "You 160 trainees from 16 countries will enter the treasure-hunting space in a shuffled order. Each person's landing point will be different. Please note that the competition venue itself is located in a dangerous demonic territory, so you must be extremely careful when searching for the treasures we have placed in advance."

"Although we have arranged for assistant referees to patrol the field and deployed the 'Eagle Eye' system as widely as possible to ensure everyone's safety, accidents can still happen. We hope everyone will remain calm and seek help immediately if they encounter danger—do not risk your life because of momentary greed or impulsiveness."

"In addition, each person will receive a spatial scroll. If you are in mortal danger, immediately pour magical energy into the scroll. It will activate in about four seconds, generating a spatial vortex to safely return you here. Let me emphasize again: value your lives and do not act rashly!" (End of Chapter)
