In the contorted space, the brilliance of magic spells was lighting up a battlefield that seemed to be constructed by patching the scenes of different spooky fairytales together.

Many students had given their all to join the World College Tournament, just so they could take part in the treasure hunt. In the past, many nameless students suddenly entered the limelight and became unstoppable after the treasure hunt, and had turned into the brightest talents in the tournaments. It had served as a motivation to students from across the world, as they were well aware of how important the resources that could guarantee them an advantage in the tournament were. As such, it was necessary for them to secure the available resources at all costs during the treasure hunt!

The Observer Eagles were flying across the low gray sky. Their numbers were fairly impressive, as the organizer had long placed them in every corner in the space. These Observer Eagles were a special breed. They did not enrage other demon creatures easily, and even when they were flying over the territory of other creatures, they were rarely attacked by creatures, allowing the Observer Eagles to capture the battles taking place during the treasure hunt.

The outstanding performances of the students was displayed, allowing the world to see the brilliance of their magic, but the treasure hunt would also expose the ugliness and selfish side of the participants, such as the conflicts when sharing the profits among a team consisting of representatives from different countries.

The advisors were right when they told the students not to team up with others and try their best to regroup with their teammates. The demon creatures residing in the space were fairly strong, and although many of them were at the Commander-level, they did not necessarily stand a chance against the talented students. The true enemy that the students had to face was the jealousy and ambitions the others had.

Unfortunately, most of them had found incredible loot close to where they spawned, and they did not really have the time to look for their teammates. The participants would have to choose between teaming up with strangers or exploring on their own. It resulted in more conflicts between the participants.

However, the situation was in favor of a certain group.

Where there were people, there were troubles; it was the truth in all situations. Mo Fan’s group only consisted of three members, and both Mu Ningxue and Ayleen had agreed to listen to Mo Fan’s orders since it was their first time doing such wicked things. Their group might seem weak on the surface, yet their efficiency was a lot better than most teams. They ended up securing quite an impressive amount of resources.

The Fan Xue Bandit Group had already robbed three different groups of people. Apart from the Heart of Stone, they also obtained the Flying Stinger Rare Bone, the Chaos Crystal, and the Water Vein, each worth around four hundred million. They also acquired several pieces of loot with values between twenty and two hundred million, summing up to around eight hundred million.

The total profit they had acquired so far was around two billion. Normally, only a huge group of participants was able to earn so much from the treasure hunt, but since a group normally consisted of around ten people, each person would only get two hundred million in the end. Meanwhile, Mo Fan’s group only consisted of three people, and if they were to split according to the deal they reached initially, Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue would each receive eight hundred million, and Ayleen, who basically did not participate in any of the fights would still earn four hundred million. They were simply brimming with wealth!

“It’s a valuable item again, we’ll need to decide if we want to take it or not. I’ve looked around. The group has just gone through a tough battle, and only three of their members are still fit for battle. The others are either injured, or running low on energy…” Ayleen had found the group another target. Her eyes were glittering with excitement.

Ayleen had gotten the hang of it after several attempts. She was much better at organizing the information.

“A Soul-grade Seed! I didn’t think they would have one in the treasure hunt, and a group consisting of members of the Egyptian team and Spanish team has found it!” Mo Fan was excited, too.

Words were not needed to describe how valuable a Soul-grade Seed was, and if the Seed had a Domain, its price would be even crazier. Ayleen really knew how to find the right target. Mo Fan was already feeling the urge just after hearing what the item was.

“Where are they?” Mu Ningxue asked.

“Just down the river, they must be afraid of stumbling into some other teams. They are hiding at quite a remote spot,” Ayleen said.

“Come, we can take a rest after this job. We were too wild with our attempts, and the groups seem to have noticed what we are up to. We’ll need to lie low for a while,” Mo Fan said.

Their last few attempts were not too successful, as their targets had been extremely cautious.

Using the Observer Eagle to track their targets, Mo Fan, Mu Ningxue, and Ayleen soon arrived at the lower reaches of the river. The place was rather spacious, and the terrain was simple. It was unlikely that any group would come here, as they could easily tell that the place did not hold any extraordinary loot just by looking at it.

Since the place was so empty, both Mu Ningxue and Ayleen struggled to hide themselves. In the end, only Mo Fan could sneak closer to the Egyptians and Spanish with his Dark Noble Mantle.

Mo Fan silently approached the group and saw they had set up tents by the river. The tents were most likely for the injured.

They had paid a great price to obtain the Soul-grade Seed, but unfortunately, Mo Fan was soon going to steal their loot!

Mo Fan’s approach was that if he could steal the loot, he would steal it. If he could not steal it, he would take it with violence. Ayleen told Mo Fan that the person holding onto the Soul-grade Seed was the Vice Captain of the Egyptian team, Meos.

Meos was an old acquaintance of Mo Fan. He would never forget how harsh she was toward Little Flame Belle, nor would he forget how the proud woman had boasted that she would get her revenge. It was a pity that the Chinese team did not fight the Egyptian team in the first round. If not, Mo Fan would have simply sent them back to their hometown. Mo Fan was amazed that such a weak team was able to make it to the top sixteen.

There were four matches in the first round. The teams that won all four matches were guaranteed to advance, and those that only lost a single match were able to advance too. As for those that lost two matches, it all came down to luck…

The Egyptian team was quite in luck, as they managed to advance, even after losing two matches!

The Egyptian government had been very friendly to Mo Fan. The military was very respectful to him too, since the heroic news of him taking on the Dark Swordmaster by himself had spread wildly in the country. However, his conflict with the Egyptian team had nothing to do with his relationship with Egypt. Since their conflict had happened first, there was no way Mo Fan would go easy on the Egyptian team!

The Dark Noble Mantle was so outstanding that even Mages with a higher cultivation than Mo Fan would have trouble noticing his presence. The master of the Shadow Element, Essendale, had actually done a good deed right before he was listed as a wanted criminal, giving Mo Fan such a useful piece of magic equipment!

“Meos, please don’t doze off,” Shreev reminded her.

“We’ve done all the hard work, yet we still had to split the profit evenly, I’m just having a hard time accepting it!” Meos was as proud as always.

“We can’t help it, since we already agreed to it. Besides, without that Water Mage Pinole, we really don’t know how long the battle was going to last!” Shreev said.

Meos harrumphed coldly. She sat by the river and stared at the rapid current.

Meos threw a pebble into the river, totally unaware that a faint silhouette of a human was approaching her from behind. The lack of light had provided him with the perfect cover, preventing anyone from noticing him…

Mo Fan was not in a rush. After confirming that Meos had lowered her guard, he tossed the Giant Shadow Spikes and nailed Meos’s limbs, throat, and head…

The Giant Shadow Spikes were able to seal off a person’s movement, sound, and mind instantly. Even an Advanced Mage would need some time to break free from them.

Meos turned around as soon as she sensed the dark energy. She immediately saw a familiar face hidden under the mantle. Her face was just filled with astonishment when she realized she could no longer move.

“I gladly take this. You better come up with an explanation, too.” Mo Fan liberated the Soul-grade Seed from Meos’s waist.

He flipped his palm, and the pouch containing the Soul-grade Seed vanished into thin air like a magic trick.

Aware of the murderous look in Meos’s eyes, the wicked Mo Fan ‘accidentally’ loosened the belt on Meos’s pants. Her pants soon dropped to her knees…

However, Mo Fan did not cross the line by removing her panties, too.

“So a proud woman like you likes pink, too…” Mo Fan took a quick glance, before leaving with a shameless chuckle.

The entire process did not last for more than a few seconds. Mo Fan silently slipped into the shadows, leaving Meos with her pants down to her knees standing by the river. Apart from the strong urge to tear Mo Fan into pieces, Meos was hoping that there was no Observer Eagle in the sky to capture the scene, as the whole world would know that she was wearing pink underneath!

Mo Fan remained cautious as he took his leave. He slowly moved into the distance after concealing his presence. There was not much cover along the way, the place was too empty and exposed…

Mo Fan quickened his pace when he was more than a hundred meters away from the tents. However, he suddenly felt like he had walked right into a wall of ice…

It did not hurt, as the wall was rather soft, but the question was… why would there be a wall here!?

Mo Fan knew he was trouble as soon as he saw the wall. He was about to move in another direction when he saw a blue light appearing, which turned out to be a huge barrier encapsulating the entire place!

The barrier had a diameter of over two hundred meters, in the shape of a hemisphere. Mo Fan was completely trapped inside it.

He soon heard some laughter from the tents. Meos was approaching him, too. She had put her pants back on, but her twisted expression was implying that she had sworn to butcher the shameless prick today!

“It’s a trap, take the thing and run!” Mo Fan contacted Mu Ningxue and Ayleen after realizing the trouble he was in.
