Bounty and Magic Equipment

Tang Miao completely ignored Kaso's impotent rage. After all, all he could do now was yell and shout!

"Wind Disk! Tornado!"

Just as Tang Miao was thinking this, the roaring Kaso suddenly made his move. Wind Element was, after all, his strongest element, and even though he was suppressed by the Spatial Gravity, he was not truly without the ability to resist.

Of course, the main reason was that Tang Miao was careless!

"Spatial Rhythm! Crack!"

Just as Kaso was excitedly launching his sneak attack, Tang Miao was full of disdain. Another silver Star Map was drawn. Tang Miao tore open a spatial rift, and in the area where the whirlwind swept through the Space Rift, everything returned to the dimension.

Vanished in an instant...

"Sky Flame Funeral!"

Tang Miao possessed immense mental strength; he was already prepared to defend himself while Kaso was secretly drawing Star Map. What a joke! He had participated in countless battles, big and small, and was incredibly shrewd; he wouldn't let Kasuo launch a sneak attack on him.

As the Azure Phoenix Flames rained down, they bombarded Kaso's body. Tang Miao's fire control was powerful; what should have been a widespread rain of fire instead struck Kaso's body directly. The Sky Flame Funeral was already incredibly hot, and with the Azure Phoenix Flames added to it, Kaso, without any defense, was essentially just taking the hit with his bare body. He was quickly refined alive!

With Kaso dead, his men immediately fled for their lives.

However, those who originally tried to escape were stopped by the Military Mage behind them, and now, not one of them was spared; they were all captured...

Mayor Lauren didn't truly want to cooperate with these bandits; he simply had no choice. He had to deal with both the Sea Monster and the Red Ornament Guild's bandits, and he was truly overwhelmed.

In his view, these National Team students were just throwing their lives away by rushing to the ship. The Red Ornament Guild was such a ruthless group of mages; with so many Advanced Mages, they could easily wipe them out.

However, when they saw Tang Miao brutally killing Kaso, their faces were filled with shock! This is why the Military Mage suddenly started arresting the bandits of the Red Ornament Guild.

Just then, two Temple Mage appeared at Baitou Port. Seeing that Kaso had been dealt with, the two Temple Mages were overjoyed. They could finally go back and report. For the sake of the Red Ornament Guild, they had spent a lot of time wandering around and had been criticized by their superiors a lot.

Mayor Lauren, eager to verify the truth, rushed over. The Kaso she remembered was mostly arrogant and unrestrained; he could do whatever he wanted, and even the government forces might not dare to stop him. But the Kaso before her was a complete bloody mess...

"Mayor Lauren, I think you've made the stupidest decision of your life. Listen carefully."

Upon seeing Mayor Lauren approach, the Temple Mage Aoluna gently pressed the recorder.

The recording pen contained a conversation between Kaso and one of his men. In it, Kaso made no attempt to hide his intention to leave the Sea Monster and make his money.

Mayor Lauren looked blank. In fact, he had guessed this possibility, but he really didn't know how to deal with the upcoming Sea Monster infestation season.

"Your joining forces with them will only make things worse, and the losses will be even more incalculable. Mayor Lauren, I hope you can reflect on this matter carefully. The Sea Monster may be terrifying, but I think that as long as the whole city is united, we can still defeat them even at a cost. But if you cooperate with these bandits, no one in the city will trust you anymore. At that time, these cowards will turn around and leave, and it will be the people who suffer the ravages of the Sea Monster!" Aoluna said to Mayor Lauren very seriously.

"I know what to do. I will issue a new order to swiftly and completely eradicate the remaining members of the Red Ornament Guild and give the people justice," Mayor Lauren finally said.

Aoluna nodded. She had actually investigated, and Mayor Lauren's decision this time was indeed out of necessity; he fundamentally wanted to protect the city, in such a relatively underdeveloped country. A mayor isn't someone you can just change at will; Mayor Lauren's position couldn't be moved, unless he completely degenerated into something like the Red Ornament Guild...

Tang Miao then looked at Aoluna and said in English, "Hey, beautiful lady, stop yelling at me. I've taken care of the most troublesome guy for you guys. When are you going to give me the bounty?"

Aoluna and another male mage from the Temple of Freedom were both taken aback upon hearing this...

Shouldn't this be seen as eliminating a scourge for the sake of reputation?

Why are they asking for a reward now?

Seeing her staring blankly at him, Tang Miao continued, "I'm telling you, you're not telling me that this Kaso's committed so many evil deeds here, and his men, are all worthless? Then what are you people from the Temple of Freedom doing here?"

Aoluna was somewhat speechless, so she could only say, "Don't worry, I'll help you apply for the bounty. Also, because you've been so helpful this time, I'll personally send a letter to the International Conference of Government, telling them the truth about what happened here."

Tang Miao nodded. Although the bounty was important, the magical artifact reward was clearly more important.

While the two were talking, Mu Nujiao and the others ran over. They breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Tang Miao was safe and sound.

After resolving the matter here, the group continued their journey. Several days later, they settled in Bang'ersa City. On their way to the Mexico National Pavilion, the team was supposed to start a new competition, but because of that idiot Lu Yilin, there were no personnel changes this time.

After all, the people on the team right now are all very strong.

Tang Miao is undoubtedly the strongest, while Ai Jiangtu is clearly ranked second. As for third, everyone thinks it's Mu Ningxue, but Tang Miao believes it should actually be Mo Fan.

This kid is now at the high level in both Fire Element and Lightning Element. Moreover, Dog Chicken is quite lucky; after receiving compensation from the Lu Family, he actually obtained Soul Fire! Although its power is not as great as Tang Miao's Azure Phoenix Flame, it is still one of the best Soul Seed.

With two high-level elemental attacks, even Mu Ningxue's strength might not be enough to defeat him. Of course, without using her bow...

The remaining members— Nan Jue, Jiang Shaoxu, Zhao Manyan, Mu Nujiao, Jiang Yu, Guan Yu, Nan Rongni, Mu Tingying, and Zu Jiming— are all proficient in High-level Magic, so there's no reason for them to be eliminated. Moreover, because everyone's strength has been genuinely enhanced, they have successfully become official team members, and the term "substitute" no longer exists.
