Rewards and Treasure Hunt Competition

Chen Jin did not give them an answer, instead looking at Chen Lang. "Kid, what do you think?"

For Chen Jin to consult his family's younger generation like this, it left Pang Lai and the others somewhat dumbfounded.

Let alone them, even Chen Lang appeared somewhat surprised.

Sometimes he also found it a bit difficult to understand this stubborn old man... but since Chen Jin had asked him, Chen Lang would naturally not reject making his own decision.

Chen Lang looked at Pang Lai and the others, then said, "I don't really like being restricted. If it's just letting me hold an honorary title, and you need me to contribute when the time comes, I'll be very happy to oblige."

As soon as these words came out, Han Ji and Zhu Meng were both somewhat displeased!

What did this kid take the Imperial Magic Association for?

Furthermore, did he even know what he was rejecting!

The Imperial Magic Association completely represented the top power of Great Xia, ranking higher than adjudicators, higher than the Pearl Mage Corps, and higher than the Guard Mage Corps...

Some people might think that the chief of the Oriental Pearl Mage Tower was a Forbidden Curse Mage, while Pang Lai was not. In fact, before the arrival of the Sea Monster catastrophe, the chief of the Oriental Pearl Mage Tower could only ever be a pinnacle mage.

After all, Forbidden Curse Mages were subject to all kinds of restrictions, and even though they wielded formidable power, they could not easily deploy it.

Below the Forbidden Curse level, Pang Lai's strength was definitely beyond doubt.

Compared to Han Ji and Zhu Meng's displeasure, Pang Lai instead looked at Chen Lang and said, "Fine, I'll give you this honorary position."

The moment Pang Lai said this, both Han Ji and Zhu Meng were somewhat stunned!

Pang Lai paid no mind to their incredulous gazes, continuing instead, "Though it's just an honorary title, I hope that when there is a need, you can obey the dispatches of the Imperial Magic Association."

Chen Lang's lips twitched slightly. Good, good, good, playing it like this, are we!!

To be honest, there were simply too many incredulous things today!

Everyone seemed abnormal, didn't they!

He had already prepared himself to be rejected and given a thorough scolding, but at the moment, he could only nod and respond, "That's naturally fine."

Pang Lai looked at Chen Lang's expression, the corners of his mouth beneath his beard curving up silently.

Although he did not know why this old fogey Chen Jin would pamper this kid to such an extent, given that his cultivation at eighteen years of age had already reached this stage, he had no reason not to pull strings for him.

An honorary title?

As long as he was used well, what difference was there between an honorary title and an official member?

Compared to Chen Lang's speechlessness, the several team members beside him were all filled with envy...

At such an age, Chen Lang had already gained the attention of the Imperial Magic Association's chief, and his future prospects were predictably boundless.

Even people like Mu Tian and Zhou Qing felt their hearts flutter slightly. The only pity was that though their family backgrounds matched, they both already happened to have significant others early on.

For a moment, several girls in the team felt a secret sense of regret...

Han Ji said, "Speaking of which, if this year's Treasure Hunt Competition goes smoothly, we still have a chance to fight for a spot in the top eight."

Zhu Meng asked with some curiosity, "What are the rewards this year, anyway?"

Previously, they had been too lazy to find out about these things, since they completely felt that their team members had no such chance.

But with this current momentum, they might not lack such a chance!

Pang Lai hadn't paid attention to it before, but later on he had made inquiries, and so he explained to them, "The team that takes first place this year, the members can obtain a complete set of Magic Array Artifacts. In addition, the members can enter the Parthenon Knight Hall and gain an opportunity for study and practical training."

Han Ji said somewhat incredulously, "A complete set of Magic Array Artifacts? The Five Continents Magic Association is really willing to spend a fortune this time!"

Even Zhu Meng and Chen Jin felt the same way.

Artifacts themselves were already extremely rare, and an artifact capable of independently completing a magic array could be considered an absolute crown jewel among Treasure Tools!

Pang Lai nodded and added, "Mm, besides, the opportunity for study and training in the Knight Hall is also quite good."

Zhu Meng muttered dismissively, "What's so good about that?"

Pang Lai replied, "If you can complete some designated tasks, or perform exceptionally well, you can obtain the opportunity for a Divine Seal Praise."

With the chance to receive a Divine Seal Praise, this opportunity for training and study suddenly seemed to have become somewhat better.

"The reward for second place is a complete set of magic tool equipment."

"The reward for third place..."

Listening to them recount some of the rewards for this occasion, Chen Lang felt they were just very normal ranking rewards.

To be honest, the rewards for the next session were somewhat outrageous.

Especially the rewards for second and first place. However, it was clear that he would no longer have the possibility of participating, and these things had very little to do with him.

Come to think of it, he was still more concerned with the upcoming Bounty Competition.

The knockout rounds would merely eliminate some teams that might have muddled their way in through the National Pavilion competition; the upcoming Treasure Hunt Competition was the true crux of the World Academy Competition!

In order to acquire more benefits in the Treasure Hunt Competition, Chen Lang once again plunged into an immersive cultivation state with utter boredom.

The path of cultivation has always been long and monotonous.

Many people dislike studying, feeling that learning is an extremely tedious and boring endeavor.

In fact, doing any single thing, even something you are extremely interested in, repeating it day after day and working three hundred and sixty-five days a year without a break, will still bring about that same aversion and disgust.

It is not that people hate learning, but rather that they are unable to rein in a playful heart.

Especially at this present moment, the ones undergoing immersive cultivation were not just him, but all the contestants who had secured the opportunity to participate in the Treasure Hunt Competition!

Opening day of the Treasure Hunt Competition brought no major news.

Barring the sixteen eliminated countries, the Treasure Hunt Competition would proceed simultaneously with the remaining sixteen powerhouse nations currently staying in Venice.

The gathering grounds for the Treasure Hunt Competition were in the opening ceremony venue from before, though unlike the previous layout, today's venue featured many magic stones emitting a silvery luster placed throughout it.

Although his space cultivation was not yet very high, he was still able to sense that this place was a Space Magic Array.

The treasure hunt location was arranged by the Hunter Alliance, and if one wanted to acquire precious resources, the next phase would test their wilderness survival abilities.

After the Venice chief referee announced a few precautions, the team members of the sixteen countries entered the teleportation grand array one by one...

Space Magic Arrays are extremely magical. The moment you step across into one, mere blinking seconds later, you are directly transported to another place.

The location Chen Lang currently found himself in was a world pieced together using Dimensional Magic.

The second event, the Treasure Hunt Competition, was arranged by Law Hunters, and so there were truly life-threatening existences here...

Many so-called humanitarians heavily criticized the potentially hazardous situations that might arise in the Treasure Hunt Competition. They felt that a competition was a competition, and should not involve life-threatening danger, nor should it allow people across the globe to witness scenes of college mages dying directly during the Treasure Hunt Competition. However, these voices were forcefully suppressed by the Hunter Alliance.

Hunters walk the razor's edge, and countless hunters die every year. If mages failed to steel themselves for the possibility of dying a tragic death in the jaws of demon beasts when embarking on this path, then consuming so many limited resources would make them nothing more than social parasites.

The demon beast crisis has always existed, and the Hunter Alliance never wanted people to view the world as so peaceful, believing that they could lord it over others just by staying in cities. Even if cruel scenes of death were presented, they were still facts; mages never enjoyed absolute safety. The more global the competition, the more it should adhere to reality...
