Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 262: Just call someone, why are you in such a hurry?
The Hunter Competition is divided into two levels.

The primary competition is the Hunter Competition, which is held every four years.

The advanced competition is a contest for the King of Hunters, held every ten years.

The Hunter Championship is more like a qualifying round for the Hunter King Competition. Only the Honor Hunter teams that win the top three places in the Hunter Championship are eligible to participate in the international Hunter King Competition.

Only one hunting king team will be born in each hunting king competition, which shows its value.

Different from the Hunting King Team which is born out of pure competition, the Hunting King is selected by each competition area based on the performance of participating hunters. Generally, two Hunting Kings will be born in each competition area, and then compete for the highest honor for hunters - the Hunting Champion.

Such a grand event naturally attracts worldwide attention, and each session has an incredibly large number of participants.

In order to avoid the competition being too lengthy, the Hunter Championship is held simultaneously in several divisions. For a big country like Shenzhou, each country has its own division.

But when Xu Shen searched for the rewards, he felt a little uninterested. The reward for the champion of this Shenzhou region was just a growth-type winged magic tool.

"With just this little reward, who are you looking down on?"

Xu Shen, who had already reserved two winged magic tools from Huo Ling, felt a little disgusted.

"Hmph, what do you know? You are used to a life of luxury and don't know the hardships of grassroots players. A winged magic tool is worth countless high-level mages beating their heads to pieces. What's more, that little bit of material reward is not the biggest benefit. The biggest reward for the champion of the competition is fame, the recognition and support of the country and the Hunter Alliance."

"What's the use?"

"Let me tell you this. Except for those who died halfway through, the worst hunter kings in the future are also super-class. There are even several forbidden spell mages who came from hunter kings."

Xu Shen suddenly realized: "Now that you put it that way, I understand."

The growth of a mage, except for the pervert like Ding Yumian who doesn't follow the basic laws.

For the vast majority of people, talent and resources are both indispensable.

Just breaking through the high-level Galaxy Veins would cost hundreds of millions.

To possess powerful combat capability and truly become a master, one not only needs to have been through hundreds of battles, but also needs the blessing of natural resources and treasures.

It’s easy to gain experience. Just find a place outside of Anjie and hide there. As long as you survive, you will be a battle-hardened soldier when you come out.

But the same cannot be said for natural resources and treasures.

Treasures such as soul-level elemental seeds and mind stones were priced enough to drive most mages to despair.

Without the support of a certain force, it would be impossible to move forward on one's own.

Like Mo Fan in his previous life, he was stuck at the intermediate level for more than a year before he could break through to the high level, just because he was born into a grassroots family.

As for Xu Shen, his background since birth was not much different from Mo Fan's.

To put it bluntly, he was also a grassroots person who was lucky enough to be reborn. He had the advantage of foresight and made some money by selling some materials, so that his growth speed was barely not restricted by resources.

However, as the butterfly effect becomes more and more obvious, his prophetic advantage will become weaker and weaker. This is why he cannot let the 404 Trading Company be swallowed up even at the risk of offending the noble families in Yaodu.

The usual way for grassroots to obtain resources is not to cheat like Xu Shen.

More often than not, they are talented, strong, have good character and luck, and come to the fore in some mass disaster events or competitions, gaining some fame and being favored by the big guys.

These so-called "empty reputations" may not have any obvious benefits at the moment, but who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe one day a kind-hearted person will appear and give you a pillow when you are dozing off.

Take Xu Shen for example. In this life, he deliberately exposed his natural nine-star talent, which made him appreciated by Jiang Yunming and led to his subsequent snowball-like development.

Besides, he was not a stingy person. He would always think about the academy whenever he gained anything from his hunting trips. Therefore, not only Jiang Yunming, but other old professors were also happy to teach him some of their best knowledge.

Taking one step at a time like this and looking back on the past, I realized that I had walked a life path that was completely different from my previous life.

Tong Zhouzheng patted Xu Shen who was distracted and said, "Then here comes the problem. There are only two months left before the registration deadline for the competition. We have to recruit people as soon as possible."

"Calling people? Does the Hunter Competition have any strict requirements on strength?"

"That's not the case, but those who dare to come must be at least mid-level and fully cultivated. On average, most are high-level. But for the King of Hunters, there are occasionally super-level mages participating."

Xu Shen raised his eyebrows: "Super-class people are here? Do you still have any shame?"

Tong Zhouzheng shrugged. Have you ever seen a max-level character come to the Novice Village to show off?
Make a fuss.

"By the way, Yumian, are you participating in this hunter competition?"

Tong Zhou was looking at Ding Yumian eagerly.

This girl who looks as fragile as Lin Daiyu has always kept a low profile, but her mental and sound magic are simply that of an innate hunter. With her around, the team is stable.

"Sorry," Ding Yumian shook his head apologetically.

The identities of the victims are too sensitive.

Zhan Kong once told Xu Shen that the reason his lover was exposed was because of the school competition.

With such a lesson learned from the past, how could she make the same mistake again?

Xu Shen held her hand and blinked: "Why are you apologizing? Just stay at home and watch me kill people on TV."

"Humph!"

Ding Yumian understood Xu Shen's hint and turned her head away proudly.

Even if there is a painted skin ghost who can conceal her identity, it is not certain whether she will agree to go.

"In that case, our Ruoshui team only has Mu Ningxue, Lingling, and the twins you just recruited," Tong Zhou said with a frown, counting on his fingers, "We have to expand the recruitment!"

"Please give me a sack!" Xu Shen paused: "Mu Ningxue won't come either."

"Ah?" Tong Zhou was stunned: "Why?"

"It's inconvenient to tell you the reason."

Xu Shen shook his head.

When he was in the ancient capital, he had communicated with Xuexue using the Mandarin Duck Ring before jumping into the Evil Abyss.

How could the ancient capital not seek help from the outside world when it is in such a critical situation?

However, there were several powerful emperors who were eyeing the situation covetously, and the information could not be passed on. The only solution Xu Shen could think of was the Yuanyang Ring.

However, Mu Ningxue's influence was insignificant, and some places had deliberately exaggerated the crisis in order to gain stronger support, which led to the Forbidden Spell Society feeling like "the wolf is coming". Few bigwigs believed that the ancient city that had stood for thousands of years would be in danger of falling.

Generally speaking, according to regulations, as long as someone asks for help, the ancient palace must send someone to verify it no matter what.

But the timing chosen by Saran was too clever. The registered forbidden spell mages were already stretched thin guarding their own areas, and coupled with the incident at Dongting Lake, they really couldn't spare anybody.

No one cares about the affairs of the ancient capital.

This silly girl is really amazing. She actually rode a white tiger all the way here from the imperial capital.

In the end, Zu Guangyao took Sha Yuan away.

The catastrophe in the ancient capital came to an end.

But Xu Shen had no idea that when he and Ding Yumian were snuggling in the corner of an alley in the ancient capital, the other mandarin duck ring was only a few steps away from him.

When he tried to inquire about the Mandarin Duck Ring again, the girl was already dozens of kilometers away.

Mu Ningxue told him that because of the heavy losses caused by the forbidden spell in the battle of Dongting Lake, the situation between the demons and humans in Shenzhou was becoming increasingly delicate. At this time, Baihu could not leave, and she could not leave either, so she had to return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

"So, the two bosses are gone, and it's just you and me?"

Tong Zhou was stunned.

"Where do you place Lingling? She is our vice-captain after all. And there are also the Liu Xian sisters. Even though they are not very impressive, they will definitely give you a big surprise."

Tong Zhouzheng smiled bitterly and said, "How can the five of us be enough?"

"Just call someone, why are you panicking?"
