The prizes for the second and third places were revealed, too. The team placed second would be given a chance to cultivate in the Altar of the Void at the Sacred Victorious Altar.

Australia’s Magic Association, the Sacred Victorious Altar, was publicly known by the world as the best place to cultivate at. No one knew how many times their cultivation speed would be multiplied when cultivating at the Sacred Victorious Altar, but it was said that any Advanced Mage that trained there would break through easily. Many Advanced Mages who found themselves at their bottleneck desperately sought a chance to visit the Altar of the Void so they could break through the barricade and achieve the Super Level.

Statistics had shown that your odds of achieving the Super Level were by far the highest at the Altar of the Void in Australia!

A chance to cultivate in the Altar of the Void at the Sacred Victorious Altar was not something that money could buy, either, and it was apparently the prize for second place. The country that won second place would most likely end up with lots of talents who could eventually achieve the Super Level!

The prize for third place was full sets of magical equipment!

Most magical equipment was forged from different materials, and it was very difficult to collect a set of magical equipment made of the same material. However, when Boots, Shields, Armor, Deathstrike Magic Equipment, and Wings combined into a set, the pieces of magic equipment were able to link up like Star Orbits and Star Patterns to construct a magic formation.

Words were not needed to describe how powerful a magic formation was. Therefore, if anyone was could collect a full set of magic equipment, it would grant the Mage a powerful ability!

Collecting a full set of magic equipment required lots of time, effort, and money, and only the big Magic Associations were able to make them. It was obvious that the World Magic Association was sponsoring the prize, and it was again something that money alone could not buy!

“By the way, if only the top three teams are going to receive the prizes, what about the rest of the teams?” Mo Fan asked.

It was extremely difficult to get into the top three. Mo Fan was not that naive to believe that he was the only maniac in this world. For example, if the Spanish Mage that could cast the Catastrophe Wave had focused the spell on him, he could not guarantee that he would be able to take it on. The pain from having all his bones broken was not something he would forget so easily!

“There are no fixed prizes for the rest of the teams, but the Resource Pool will be open to everyone when the teams are competing,” Pang Lai said.

“Resource Pool? What’s that?” Mo Fan asked.

“Oh right, you weren’t here for quite some days, so I almost forgot to tell you about it. Do you remember how we’ve been giving you resources during your training? Those resources are actually taken out from the Resource Pool, to reward the teams showing outstanding training performances. The truth is, the Resource Pool for the World College Tournament is incredibly huge, and the resources given to you before are only the extras. After the first knockout round, the second round is a treasure hunt, and the treasure will be resources from the enormous pool. It’s all up to the participants to see how many resources they can secure for the team!” Feng Li explained to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan’s eyes widened. He quickly looked at the others, but it seemed like they already knew about it. He was the only one that was in shock!

“The main purpose of the knockout round is to disqualify the teams that made it to the World College Tournament by luck. Therefore, the treasure hunt is where things are about to get serious in the World College Tournament. You have no idea how many good things you can find in the Resource Pool; they can easily stack up into a mountain! The rewards we receive during our training are like a joke compared to it!” Zhao Manyan informed him.

Mo Fan started counting, and realized that the total value of the resources he had received throughout his training was roughly around two hundred million. If that was only a little appetizer, wouldn’t that mean the treasure hunt was going to be full of gold?

“No wonder everyone is trying so hard just to make it to Venice! I didn’t know there was such an exhilarating part to the tournament!” Mo Fan realized.

The world had gathered all the resources into the treasure hunt, aiming to distribute them in a competitive way. Every country had sent their young Mages to take part in the tournament, and they would have to compete for the resources. It was easily the most suitable way to distribute them!

As a matter of fact, Mo Fan was not really that excited about the World College Tournament, but after learning the prizes for the top three teams, and the treasure hunt in the second round, he could feel his blood pumping hard!

Was there anyone that needed resources as badly as he did, so badly that he basically spent all his money on them?

Miss Tangyue had told Mo Fan a long time ago, that even though his Double Innate Elements was quite an impressive innate talent, it would only shine brightly with the support of ample resources. The resources available in the second round’s treasure hunt were basically unlimited, but they would have to compete with the other participants. It could actually provide Mo Fan with the resources he desperately needed to improve the rest of his Elements!

Who was the genius that had designed the World College Tournament? Could it be something that the person had specifically designed for someone with the Double Innate Elements like him, considering the insane amount of resources he needed?

“The treasure hunt of every World College Tournament is different. I wonder what interesting rules it might have this time,” Han Ji smiled. He could tell how excited Mo Fan was.

“I must remind you that the treasure hunt doesn’t just consist of the competition between participants. Some of you might find yourselves in extremely dangerous places, and even though the judges will try their best to look after you, accidents did happen in the past, so I hope you will be more careful, and put your safety first. Don’t be too greedy!” Feng Li had to pour a bucket of cold water onto the students as they were discussing the loot they might get.

“Got it!”

“(sigh) There were accidents in the past, but they weren’t that scary.”

“The stage of the treasure hunt is different every time, just be careful.”

“I wonder where the stage the Hunter Union will choose is…”

——

The Chinese team had won all their matches during the knockout round, thus they were qualified to proceed to the next round, the treasure hunt.

Knowing that the treasure hunt was going to be exhilarating and thrilling, Mo Fan, who now had three hundred million in the bank, believed it was time for an upgrade.

This time, Mo Fan placed his attention on the Summoning Element.

The Swift Star Wolf had been stuck at the Advanced Warrior level for a thousand years. If he did not break through soon, Mo Fan would have to hide him away, and could only use him as a mount.

He had known the Swift Star Wolf for years, and the creature was very eager to become stronger. Mo Fan was planning to spend his ill-gotten money on the Swift Star Wolf.

Due to the limitations of the Swift Star Wolf’s bloodline, it was fairly difficult for the creature to evolve further without external assistance. Luckily, Venice happened to be full of resources, so Mo Fan was planning to lend the Swift Star Wolf a hand.

There were three essential ingredients for strengthening a Summoned Beast: Soul, Bone Dust, and Lineage!

The Swift Star Wolf’s flesh had reached his limit, so Mo Fan would need to purchase some high-level Bone Dust, allowing his flesh to exceed its limit.

When a creature’s body was no longer able to hold more strength, they would have a strong desire to evolve. It was the only way for most demon creatures to become stronger!

Bone Dust was not particularly expensive, and was not difficult to find, either. Mo Fan simply told Zhao Manyan what he was looking for, and his friend immediately got him lots of high-quality Bone Dust.

The tricky part was to find the Lineage and Soul. He could settle the Lineage with money, since the wolf species was quite common. With some help, buying a high-quality Demon Wolf Lineage was only a matter of cash. Getting a suitable Soul was the hardest part!

People normally used some special Soul Essence as the ingredient for Soul. Mo Fan was well aware of how expensive a Commander-level Soul Essence was, and that was just the normal kind. If it was a special Soul Essence, Mo Fan was most likely going to go bankrupt!

In addition to that, the criteria for finding a suitable soul were fairly strict, too. The soul could not be too strong, nor too weak, and it was best if he could find the soul of a wolf. Otherwise, he would have to find the soul of some other creature similar to wolves. Since the Swift Star Wolf was of the Wind Element, the soul had to have the Wind Element, too…

“Mo Fan, I think you should consult Jiang Yu, or even better, Pang Lai. He’s the strongest Summoner in China. Evolving isn’t a child’s play; it’s even riskier than betting in a match. If you’re careless, all your efforts might be in vain!” Zhao Manyan reminded Mo Fan after handing him the Lineage and the Bone Dust.

Mo Fan agreed with Zhao Manyan. He purposely paid Jiang Yu a visit.

Luckily, Pang Lai was also there to give his beloved student some special attention. Mo Fan, shameless as always, did not hesitate to barge in.

“Mo Fan, why are you here? I thought you would be cultivating in seclusion now!” Jiang Yu sat in front of a coffee table, holding his noble cat, the Night Rakshasa, in his arms. The little creature was fast asleep.

Opposite him sat Pang Lai. Normally, it was difficult for anyone to meet Pang Lai in private. Mo Fan, who happened to be quite close to Jiang Yu, made use of the opportunity to consult him.

Mo Fan proceeded to explain why he had come. Pang Lai was a close acquaintance of Han Ji, and he also had a good impression of Mo Fan, so he did not mind giving a bit of advice or two.

“First, does your Summoning Element now have a Galaxy?” Pang Lai was about to give his advice when he remembered something and asked beforehand.

Mo Fan shook his head.

“If you only have a Nebula for the Summoning Element, and it’s still in the Intermediate stage, you’re most likely going to fail. Without the support of the Advanced Level Summoning Element, there’s no way you can help your Warrior-level creature achieve the Commander-level,” Pang Lai said firmly.

“No way… I’m so fortunate that I came and asked you first! Otherwise, all my money would have been wasted!” Mo Fan pulled a long face.

Pang Lai rubbed the side of his head. It was actually just common knowledge about the Summoning Element. If Mo Fan was clueless about it, he would actually need to spend some time explaining the details to the young man.

“Bone Dust and Lineage; you can give them to the Summoned Beast anytime you want. You should be strengthening the creature’s bones and changing his blood occasionally, giving your Summoned Beast more time to prepare himself, while his Lineage will slowly improve too. I can see that your wolf’s flesh is quite strong now, so that’s fine, but you must remember to strengthen his bones, too,” Pang Lai said.

“Oh, alright! The treasure hunt is just around the corner, Master Pang Lai, do I still have enough time?” Mo Fan was definitely going to keep this advice in mind.

“You…you’re really impatient, aren’t you? You can only make steady progress incrementally, but you didn’t even…(sigh), forget it, just remember to do it in the future. Actually, after taking both you and your wolf’s cultivation into consideration, I think it might just work,” Pang Lai said.
