The first round of the competition for the lower grades ended quickly, and then it was the upper grades' turn. This group had more participants, so the competition would take longer.
After the first round of the competition, Luo Fan discovered that several guys were deliberately hiding their true strength. For example, that little guy from the Haifa Magic and Martial Arts Academy had a level 42 magical pet—a water dragon turtle.
There's also that boy from the First Magic and Martial Arts Academy, whose pet is level 47 and is a Wind Shadow Eagle; he's a strong contender for first place.
It is estimated that after the release of the Magic Breast, it benefited a large number of wealthy people, especially those descendants of famous families.
"Could it be that they are unaware of the dangers of demonic milk? I seem to recall similar records in textbooks about demonic pets."
Thinking this way, I'm even more looking forward to the peak group competition. It's time to let those seemingly strong but actually weak magical pets see what Master Luo's true strength is all about.
“Everyone knows that, but so what? Who doesn’t want their pet to become stronger?” Ellie complained.
"That makes sense. How about I secretly sell a few more and take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune?"
"How much do you have left?" Ellie asked curiously, as she herself couldn't remember exactly how much Luo Fan had given away. Previously, at the legion's base, Emil's Fire Rain, with the help of the magic milk, had leveled up three times directly—a terrifying speed.
Now, Emil's attitude towards her has improved significantly; he'd love to move into the princess's residence with her. However, the military's commercial operations still require her attention.
"Not many, only a few bottles left. Anyway, I don't plan to rely on this stuff to level up, I only gave it to Huo Yu out of pity."
"Oh, since there aren't many, why are you still selling them? Why not give me some to use as rewards for the corps later? What do you think?"
"No way, your army would be finished. An army that uses magic milk as a reward would be squeezed out by others!"
"Aili, you need to know the principle of not flaunting your wealth," Luo Fan earnestly advised, fearing that Ai Li would set her sights on his secret stash of money.
After all, training those mercenaries is for making money for themselves, so why do they have to do the opposite? It would be more reliable to have Emil improve everyone's welfare.
After all, possessing such a valuable treasure makes one an easy target for envy.
Well, just leave the treasure to me. I'm not afraid of others being jealous. Who told me to be so insignificant? Hehe.
At first, Ellie thought it made a lot of sense, but then the tone changed. Could it be that her pet was a miser?
After the competition, everyone returned to the princess's residence.
With the addition of the high-ranking mage Caitlin, the research on ice spikes quickly reached its limit; unless the level of magic power was increased, the progress would be minimal.
After all, they've developed the Ice Spike spell into something like a machine gun. Even Ellie's Shadow Spike and the princess's Water Spike have been enhanced.
With nothing else to do, Luo Fan manipulated his level 36 blue clone, increasingly finding the location of that crystal core utterly an eyesore. Such an obvious weakness—no wonder slimes, no matter how high their level, were looked down upon.
Were slimes ever this high-level before? I don't recall ever seeing any records of it.
No, I need to lighten the load on this chubby guy, just like with that giant wolf before, to make his magic more concentrated and his body more solid.
After some effort, the slime, which was originally the size of a pumpkin, gradually grew to the size of a pineapple, then an apple. Even Xiaoxue, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.
"Brother Fan, please don't torture yourself!"
"No, I'm protecting my clone. This is important material for my future transformation." The clone, which was originally dispensable, became the focus of Luo Fan's cultivation from then on, otherwise its level would not have increased so quickly.
"But it's gotten so small, I can't even hold it anymore, and it's still so hard." Xiaoxue picked up the apple and stuffed it into her clothes, looking somewhat disgusted.
"Don't worry, it's easy to grow bigger, but that wouldn't be safe. Xue'er wouldn't want to see this clone get damaged, would she?"
"Yes, safety is the most important thing."
Xiaoxue is still too young now; I wonder when she'll grow up. When she does, this clone can just serve as an accessory for her.
Seemingly imagining some amusing scene, Luo Fan fell into a reverie, only snapping back to reality after a short while.
"No, I need to spend some time studying spatial magic. The treasure vaults here are hidden so well that if I want to go in for sightseeing in the future, I'll have to find another way."
"Brother Fan, you also know spatial magic?"
"I have a slight understanding of it, but I don't know how to operate it yet. There are no records of spatial magic in the books."
"Oh, Brother Fan is so amazing, he'll definitely be able to learn it."
"Uh-huh."
The first day of the competition ended, and the audience was still eager for more, especially the later competitions for the senior groups, where even mid-level pets of level 56 appeared.
"This year's students are really strong!"
"It's all because of the demonic milk flowing out of Sacred Heart City. I could have it too."
"Do you have money? If things continue like this, it will be even harder for ordinary people to climb the social ladder."
"Brother, want some magic milk?" A furtive-looking man in black asked in a low voice, "You can have some magic milk as payment if you do me a small favor!"
"There really is a reward of magic breasts? You're not kidding me, are you?"
"How could that be? Smell this." The man in black took out a small black bottle and let the adventurer smell it. It did indeed smell like magic milk.
"What are we going to do?" The two adventurers were excited; they could make a lot of money selling this thing.
"You just need to do this~, and then this~," a little unknown colorless powder was blown into the mouths of the two adventurers by the man in black, who then gave some instructions and handed over the two black bottles.
Then, the man in black disappeared into the night.
Similar scenes occurred many times in the night, and they were always directed at the spectators watching the game.
The competition continued the next day.
After yesterday's buzz, even more spectators came to watch the competition. Now, almost every adventurer in the capital is talking about the ranked battles.
Some speculators even used the image-recording magic stone to broadcast the match in the tavern, making a fortune.
Yesterday, half of the participants were eliminated, so today's competition is much shorter, and there will be two rounds of elimination matches.
Luo Fan returned to the venue from yesterday and found that there were indeed far fewer people participating in the competition, but there were several more tents nearby, with medical personnel going in and out.
"Luo Fan, you really sensed the spatial element?" Ellie still couldn't believe it.
As one of the most complex attributes, spatial elements are generally only scratched the surface by archmages who conduct research in this area. Those spatial rings are crafted using extremely complex magic arrays and suspended stones as raw materials.
I've heard that the craftsmanship is quite complex, which is why the space ring has always been very expensive.
As for those magic bags, they used very little binding silk and magic arrays, making the craftsmanship much simpler.
It can be said that all storage-related items today are simply the most basic use of space, and are also affected by the element of time.
Last night, Luo Fan spent a long time wandering around the manor in order to relive that unique feeling of being suspended in the air.
"Of course, didn't I say I'm a genius?" Luo Fan said shamelessly via telepathy, after all, I'm not some student who escaped the nine-year compulsory education system.
Although I can't recall those poems and songs, my perspective on issues is still much better than that of the locals. I'm a powerful reincarnated person, it's just that my current strength is a bit of a disgrace to this group.
