Chapter 723: Chapter 723: Demon Hunting Space

"Those are the geniuses from the Fiery Sun Empire’s top magic academy! Garrett, come take a look. Those three are your biggest rivals."

A beautiful young woman with short pink hair tugged on the arm of a lazy-looking young man as she spoke.

The lazy-looking young man opened his eyes. Despite his languid expression, his words were filled with confidence. "Nancy, haven’t we already seen Magic Images of them back at the academy? Besides, as long as I’m here, our Six-Star Magic Academy will be the champion of this magic exchange."

Nancy’s brows furrowed slightly. "Garrett, don’t be careless! Vaughn, Hafei, and Medina are all true geniuses, each at the level of a Great Mage. On top of that, they’ve all mastered extremely powerful magic. They absolutely cannot be underestimated."

Garrett smiled confidently and looked at Nancy, his gaze full of affection. "They’re just Great Mages. Don’t worry, I won’t lose. For you, I will absolutely not lose to anyone!"

A faint blush crept onto Nancy’s pretty face. "I believe in you!"

"All teams, return to your positions!"

A booming voice echoed, and the geniuses from the various magic academies immediately returned to their teams.

A middle-aged man with large eyes and an aquiline nose, dressed in a Magic Robe and holding a Magic Staff, stepped into the center of the Grand Arena.

"I am Master Maino, the host of this exchange. I will now announce the rules of the competition."

"Shortly, you will all be sent into the Demon Hunting Space to hunt various Void Demons. Hunting a First-tier Void Demon will earn you 1 point. A Second-Tier Void Demon is worth 5 points. A Third-rank Void Demon is worth 100 points. And a Fourth-tier Void Demon is worth 3,000 points."

"Furthermore, you can attack one another. If you defeat an opponent, you will receive half of their points."

"The competition will last for seven days, or until all the Fourth-tier Void Demons within the Demon Hunting Space have been eliminated."

"Before entering the Demon Hunting Space, you will each receive a Black Crystal Necklace. You can activate the necklace to leave the Demon Hunting Space at any time. Likewise, if you suffer a fatal attack, the Black Crystal Necklace will save your life by forcibly teleporting you out."

"Inside the Demon Hunting Space, everything will be akin to real combat. There will be many unexpected incidents, so your safety cannot be fully guaranteed."

"If anyone wishes to withdraw, now is your chance!"

Master Maino’s gaze swept across the geniuses from the various magic academies.

The geniuses from the magic academies remained silent. They all knew very well how dangerous it would be to enter the Demon Hunting Space. But for their academies’ honor and resources, they had no other choice.

Many of the smaller magic academies simply couldn’t continue to operate without the Empire’s resource support.

Master Maino said flatly, "Put on your Black Crystal Necklaces!"

Light flashed in the eyes of a ten-meter-tall Alchemy Puppet, and a beam of light swept through the crowd below.

From within those beams of light, Black Crystal Necklaces fell into the hands of every student present.

’This is a Teleportation Magic Array! And a Defense Magic Array! The engraved Defense Array can use the power of the Demon Hunting Space itself for defense. How marvelous! As expected of the Gulondo World!’

Shu Feng took a close look at the Black Crystal Necklace in his hand, and with his vast knowledge of magic, he easily recognized the Magic Arrays engraved within.

Over the past half year, Shu Feng had amassed a massive amount of resources for his training by selling Magic Potions. His body’s physical stats had already surpassed 5,000.

His Intelligence of over 5,000 points gave Shu Feng a learning ability that surpassed even many Legendary Mages. Combined with his Extraordinary-level Magic Talent, his six months of study were equivalent to more than a decade of arduous training for an ordinary Legendary Mage, so he had naturally mastered an immense amount of knowledge.

"It begins!"

Master Maino held his Magic Staff and began chanting a Magic Spell.

Inside the Holy Flame Grand Arena, one mysterious Magic Array after another appeared out of thin air.

An immense Magic Array materialized in the void, and beams of light descended from the sky, showering all the magic academy students below.

The Black Crystal Necklaces around the students’ necks shone brightly, transforming them into beams of light that shot into the huge Magic Array.

The massive Magic Array retracted, and in the void, hundreds of enormous light screens flashed into existence. Each screen displayed the figure of a Magic Student.

The spectators in the Holy Flame Grand Arena could use magic items, purchased before entry, to watch the movements of whichever contestant they chose.

With a flash of light, Shu Feng appeared on a patch of flat ground.

’This is an independent Secret Realm Space that can contain living beings! The Mages of the Gulondo World are truly incredible. A Legend? No, this is a Secret Realm Space that only the most powerful Demigods or Divine Spirit Level experts could create.’

Shu Feng sensed the profundities of the Secret Realm Space, lost in thought.

Even Shu Feng had not mastered such a method for creating an independent Secret Realm Space.

A rustling sound came from the nearby jungle. A black shadow flashed past, and an incomparably sharp claw swiped directly at his head from behind.

A flash of fiery light flared, and a terrifying Flame Serpent appeared, coiling around the black shadow behind him.

BANG!

The black shadow was caught by the Flame Serpent, sent flying, and set ablaze, letting out a series of horrifying screeches.

’A Scale Armor Ape Demon! One of Gulondo’s most terrifying Void Demons! The Scale Armor Fierce Ape Demon King was one of the three great Upper-level Void Demon Kings who invaded the Gulondo World!’

Shu Feng’s gaze fell upon the black shadow, revealing a three-meter-tall Ape Demon covered in black scales, with sharp claws on both its hands and feet, screaming and struggling pitifully within the flames.

The Divine Spirits of the Gulondo World had once defeated the Void Demon King who first invaded their world on the Void Demon Battlefield. However, the second Great God-Demon War between the Gulondo World and the Void Demon Realm ended in a crushing defeat for the Divine Spirits of Gulondo.

The ones who defeated the Gulondo World were the three great Upper Demon Kings of the Void Demon Realm, and the Scale Armor Fierce Ape Demon King was one of them!

The reason so many proud prodigies from countless worlds fell into Despair and defected to the Void Demon Realm was that the Realm itself was simply too powerful and terrifying. Even if they could achieve victory once, the endless stream of experts pouring out of the Void Demon Realm would eventually destroy the worlds they protected, plunging them into apocalypse and utter Despair.
