Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 263 Austin's Sympathy, Goodbye Tisu
In the Dragon Fang Arena, Lu Ran decisively stopped.

Using his powerful mental control, he forcibly stopped countless ice blocks from falling from the sky and hurled them towards the two sides of the sea.

This scene once again shocked countless viewers!
Lu Ran's mental power and his spatial abilities are incredibly strong!

Looking at it this way, spatial magic is definitely Lu Ran's signature magic!
The thought of Lu Ran's terrifying water, space, and unknown undead abilities sent chills down the spines of every national team!

On the field, the referee was also stunned. After regaining his composure, he loudly announced the verdict:

"Huaxia Jiuzhou National Government Team wins!"

A brief silence fell over the audience, followed by deafening cheers!
"With such a big fuss, anyone who didn't know better would think Spain was about to win the championship!"

"What cataclysmic flood, what trump card? Is Prince Banbo all talk and no action? Hahaha!"

"I've made a killing! I've made a killing! I bet on the Kyushu National Government team, and this time I don't have to go to the rooftop!"

The cheers around him were deafening, but Banbo looked utterly hopeless.

Money. My money!

With a groan, Banbo rolled his eyes and fainted.

Finally, they were dragged away in a sorry state by the Spanish.

The five players from the Kyushu National Government team walked off the stage, greeted by cheers and screams from their supporters.

Lu Ran's eyes lit up; Austin was also in the crowd.

But there was no one around her. Her aura was too powerful, and her vertical dark gold dragon eyes were extremely imposing, making people afraid to get close.

Lu Ran walked over and asked with a smile:
"What, are you here to watch the game?"

Lu Ran and Austin have been in contact these days. She disappears most of the time, but she will suddenly appear in his room in the early hours of the morning.
In other words, the current Austin understands some aspects of human society and the competition being held in Venice.
Austin remained calm and said in a low voice:
"A competition? All I saw was your one-sided show of skill."

The humans who were once able to fight her are now competing against some insignificant ants.

However, Lu Ran's aura was pitifully weak in his normal state, which seemed to be understandable.
Lu Ran's lips twitched; he sensed the sympathy in Austin's eyes.

It's as if they're pitying him for not being able to wield the power of an emperor at all times!

Indeed, this is an absolute insult to an emperor!

If Austin became so weak, she might have suicidal thoughts.

After all, the magic battles on the field were just child's play in her eyes?
Even if you stand still and let the Spanish 'catastrophe tsunami' bombard you, it won't scratch Austin's dragon scales at all.

She didn't even bother to adopt a queenly demeanor, lowering her eyes and saying, "Is that all?"

After watching the game with great boredom, Austin disappeared again.

When Lu Ran returned to the National Team, he was greeted with a warm hug.

They are Jiang Shaoxu, Mu Nujiao, and Ye Xinxia.
Lu Ran coughed lightly and said:
"Don't get too excited yet. The competitions before the treasure hunt are just small fry. The real stage where you can make a fortune is yet to come."

Upon hearing the words "treasure hunt," everyone's eyes lit up instantly!
Treasure Hunt, as the name suggests, is a competition specifically for winning treasures!
But there was still a clueless young man in the team. Mo Fan asked, looking completely unaware:

"A treasure hunt? What? Aren't we going to compete with other countries next?"

Zhao Manyan rolled his eyes and laughed:
"The Treasure Hunt is a high-stakes gamble that brings together resources from all over the world in a global university competition!"

“Every country invests its precious resources into the treasure hunt space. Most of these resources are rewards from the training resources of each country’s government, and they are extremely valuable.”

"Mo Fan, if you're lucky enough to get a Soul Seed-level treasure in the treasure hunt, you might be able to pay off your debts. Plus the money from this bet, you might even have some spare cash to get a Fire-type Soul Seed?"

Mo Fan's eyes widened, thinking he had misheard: "There are soul seeds in this treasure hunt?"

Soul Seeds, those are treasures worth at least four or five hundred million!
Domain Soul Seeds are even more valuable.
At this moment, Feng Li walked over and said with a smile, "It's not just the Soul Seed! In previous treasure hunts, there have been treasures even more expensive than the Soul Seed!"

"Every treasure hunt features a treasure known as the 'Kui Treasure,' which will be the most valuable item in this treasure hunt!"

Everyone had their own thoughts, and they were even more excited after hearing this.

"Mentor Feng Li, the rewards for previous years were announced as early as the opening match. Why haven't they been announced yet this year?" Vice Captain Ai Jiangtu asked curiously.

Feng Li glanced at everyone, finally settling on Ye Xinxia, ​​and said with a faint smile:

"This jackpot was related to Parthenon, which caused some delay."

"The Parthenon?!"

Apart from Lu Ran, everyone else was shocked.

"Instructor Feng Li, stop being so mysterious and just tell me!" Zhao Manyan pressed.

"The prizes for first place in this World University Competition are the Parthenon's Divine Seal Praise, the second place is a training opportunity at the Australian Magic Association's Void Altar, and the third place is a complete set of magical tools," Feng Li said.

Everyone was stunned when they heard about the reward.

The prize for first place is a Divine Seal Praise!!

That's a top-tier blessing spell that can permanently amplify the power of a mage's magic; even a super-level mage might not be able to get their hands on it!
Within the country, large clans cannot obtain divine blessings without certain connections and networks.

In Lu Ran's memory, Zu Xiangtian of the Zu clan obtained the Divine Seal Praise through some kind of connection.

After this match, the Kyushu National Team has qualified for the Treasure Hunt Tournament.

Therefore, the remaining time is for everyone to cultivate.

Before Lu Ran and the other girls could leave the venue, they saw a familiar face walking towards them.

The newcomer was dressed in the Parthenon Sage's uniform, with a dignified appearance, and was followed by a Golden Knight.

"Sage Tisu?"

Lu Ran smiled slightly and went to greet him.

After a brief, polite conversation, Lu Ran learned of Tisu's purpose in coming; it was indeed for Xin Xia.

"After Pushini in Egypt, the temple intended to assign another task to Xinxia," Tisu said quietly.

Lu Ran listened to this and pondered it.

If he hadn't brought Xinxia with him, she probably would have been sent to Croatia by Parthenon to deal with the epidemic there by now.
After hearing Tisu's words, Lu Ran learned that the Parthenon Temple intended to promote Ye Xinxia to the position of saintess!

Now all that's missing is a proper assessment task.

However, Lu Ran's abduction of Ye Xinxia inexplicably shattered their hopes.

At this moment, Tisu seemed to be coming to confront him with a sense of accusation.

However, Lu Ran and Tisu had already made a three-point agreement with Dean Xiao that Ye Xinxia was only studying at Parthenon and had never been a member of Parthenon.

As for the identity of the Holy Maiden, it depends on whether Xin Xia herself wants it or not!
