Versatile Mage: Holy Spirit Puni, divine glory comes to the world!

Chapter 132 The Treasure Hunt Begins! A Frenzied Looting! The Hunt Has Begun! [Please Read On!]

Unbeknownst to him, Lü Ran had already attracted so much hatred. In the treasure hunt with the participation of sixteen countries, fifteen of them, apart from China, were willing to make a move against him.

This impressive display would have made anyone else tremble, after all, a full 150 people, all renowned prodigies from various countries! But Lü Ran remained calm, even a little excited.

In this way, with his extraordinary strength, Lü Ran wouldn't have any psychological burden when he went inside to rob things.

Seeing Lü Ran's relaxed demeanor, Eileen chuckled. It seemed that this was Lü Ran's true personality, which she liked.

Eileen also disapproved of the strategy of their fifteen-nation coalition. Although it was a tactic, she disdained to be associated with them.

"Can I come along?" Eileen blinked and looked at Lü Ran with great sincerity.

"Oh?" Lü Ran was somewhat taken aback. "You intend to make enemies of your national team?"

“No.” Eileen shook her head. “Besides, I have to help my partners. As for how many resources they can get, I don’t share them or help them.”

Upon hearing this, Lü Ran nodded in agreement. Eileen had delivered herself to his doorstep; how could he refuse her? Besides, she was taking a British duke with her to plunder resources from various countries.
It was an indescribable thrill!!!

Having reached an agreement, Eileen returned to the team contentedly, quietly awaiting the start of the competition.

-

The setup for this competition was different from previous ones. It wasn't a spacious venue, nor was it a complex or dangerous one. Instead, it featured many spatial magic stones.

"It's actually a spatial teleportation array! We should be teleported directly to the treasure-hunting space!" Ai Jiangtu is from the military and is very aware of how precious this array is.

This time, the organizers have really gone all out. Not only are there tons of resources, but the teleportation array and the venue have probably cost a fortune, all to create a battlefield where geniuses gather.

Before the match began, the referee solemnly explained several points to note:
"Once the treasure hunt begins, your 160 participants from 16 countries will be randomly selected and sent into an area teeming with demons."

"There are abundant resources inside for you to cultivate and compete for, but of course, there are also many dangers lurking inside, so don't underestimate it!"

"You are all carrying officially issued spatial scrolls. If you encounter danger, crush them immediately. Don't risk your lives for a few resources!!!"

After hearing the precautions, everyone could guess that resources often come with risks, probably in the wild battlefield.

Practical experience is an indispensable part of being a mage, so it's understandable that the official team included this element.

Soon, a space scroll was distributed to everyone.

Even with the backing of the Zhao family, Zhao Manyan couldn't help but remark, "The Venetian government is really going all out, with teleportation arrays and expensive space scrolls."

Everyone agreed that it was indeed an expensive and rare item. However, Lü Ran, perhaps having seen too much, naturally didn't react.

After all, Ke Ye carries a bunch of them with him, and can obey Lü Ran's orders anytime, anywhere, and travel between many areas, so it can be considered a convenient tool.

Of course, such luxuries were nothing special for the Holy City. Finally, representatives drew lots, and the Chinese team drew the first number, meaning they were among the first to enter the teleportation array!

Before their departure, Pang Lai approached the group, and specifically addressed Lü Ran, speaking earnestly, "Entering inside is fraught with unpredictable dangers. I have great faith in your abilities, but you must also understand—"

"Do not use power exceeding the limits of the competition!!" Pang Lai emphasized this.

He knew exactly what methods Lü Ran possessed. The power from the Holy City was currently unknown, but the undead empire alone could destroy the entire Venice!

Anyway, let alone the dangers inside, even if there were another 150-strong allied force, they would still be completely crushed by Lü Ran!
To prevent Lü Ran from using power beyond the competition rules and being disqualified, Pang Lai specifically reminded him, otherwise he would always panic.
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison, and then stepped into the space teleportation array together.

Suddenly, a chaotic and hazy atmosphere enveloped them, drawing them into it!
Lu Ran felt a wave of dizziness, closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again.
He was already in a mysterious space!

The towering mountains, the wild streams, and the desolate land made it feel like being in a wilderness, with roaring sounds constantly reaching your ears, making your heart tremble!

Upon arriving at the treasure-hunting area, the top priority is finding companions; resources are a different matter. Searching for them is hardly a fast method...

Let the other fifteen countries help him find it, that's the real treasure hunt!
Lu Ran looked up and saw a hawk flying by, reporting its data.

"Can you catch me?" Lu Ran's lips curled into a smile, and then his body vanished into nothingness. Almost instantly, he disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air!
Afterwards, Lü Ran traveled to various places and found Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and Ai Lin. The four of them gathered together and hid in a cave to discuss their strategy.

"It seems the Spanish team has found the treasure in the direction I just saw." Mu Nujiao knew Lü Ran well and knew that this guy was definitely going to do something big.

"I've also spotted the Italian team," Mu Ningxue said after thinking carefully. "They want to steal my Yuan Crystals, but it seems..."

"You can't beat me."

That's right. The current Mu Ningxue is a hundred times more powerful than she was at this point in the original story. As long as she raises her bow, her dominance should be second only to Lü Ran.

"It seems you are all very capable!"

Eileen was generous with her praise, but she was different. Water magic was more defensive, and she couldn't compete with others in terms of mental strength, not to mention the secondary cultivator.
However, she is a treasure trove from head to toe, possessing magical artifacts capable of resisting high-level magic.

After a brief exchange of information, Lü Ran proposed a top-down strategy—

Plunder, rampant plunder!

Eileen explained again, "This time, your Chinese team is probably the number one target of other countries, and it's very likely that your teammates are being plundered right now."

This was naturally unacceptable. Lü Ran had wanted to snatch it from the beginning, and now he was going to snatch it even more frantically!
Let them see just how powerful China really is; it's not something they can touch!

After deciding on the approach~
The four of them walked out of the cave.

Eileen unleashed her mind-based magic, controlling the eagles to search for people—both teammates and targets for plunder!
The hunt has begun!
