The representatives of the government finally arrived. Mo Fan finally understood why the Red Ornaments Guild was so reckless when he saw the efficiency of the local government. Their slow reaction to incidents was definitely the reason why the Red Ornaments Guild was not afraid of them.
Mo Fan initially thought the rewards would be higher than the ransom he had demanded the Red Ornaments Guild pay. To his surprise, the local government only paid him and Jiang Shaoxu nine million dollars to make them leave!
Nine million?
Mo Fan remembered the Enforcement Union was offering nine million for a single Gray Priest, and now, Mo Fan had caught quite a lot members of the Red Ornaments Guild, yet the local government only rewarded him with nine million dollars?
No wonder no Hunters were willing to hunt down the members of the Red Ornaments Guild. The Magicians that were strong enough to take down the Red Ornaments Guild obviously thought nine million was nowhere enough for them. It was not even enough for them to buy a useful piece of equipment.
After splitting the reward with Jiang Shaoxu, Mo Fan felt a bit regretful. If he knew this would happen, he would have held the members of the Red Ornaments Guild hostage and demanded a ransom from their superiors. Perhaps the Red Ornaments Guild would have paid him a more handsome sum compared to the local government.
Mo Fan could spend this little amount of money in an instant, such as to replenish the energy of his Black Snake Armor!
Not all Equipment consumed energy when they were active, but if they suffered some serious damage, they would need a large amount of magic ores to restore their energy. Mo Fan's Black Snake Armor was damaged when he was fighting against the Nazca Monster Birds and the monster apes. The money was barely enough to fix his armor.
However, this was also because the Black Snake Armor's level was relatively higher. Any other equipment would not need so much energy to recover.
Jiang Shaoxu was feeling aggrieved, too. The local government had only given this much money after they did them such a huge favor. Who would even want to do such a strenuous and unrewarding job again?

The three continued along the journey and regrouped with the other members in a town by the sea.
The team had severely diverged. Apart from staying at the same place, the team was normally split into a few groups, each minding their own business.
When Mo Fan, Jiang Shaoxu, and Zhao Manyan arrived at their accommodations, the others were nowhere to be seen. Mo Fan was quite disappointed by the place. He decided to stay in his room and cultivate instead of wasting his time running around.
He still had yet to master the Shadow Star Constellation. It was going to take him some time.
After experiencing the power of the Lightning Advanced Spell by constructing the Star Constellation himself, he immediately realized that the Star Constellation Scrolls were only supportive consumables. It was unable to unleash the full potential of the Advanced Spell. In order to utilize the full potential of Nyx Regime, Mo Fan was determined to cultivate more diligently.

The Asian Magic Association was located in the United Arab Emirates; the place was also called the Dubai Magician Tower.
The advisors of many national teams were seated at a huge, round table. The surroundings, including the ceiling, formed an azure blue sky. The only things separating them and the sky were some French windows and a transparent ceiling.
Only the highest-level Magicians in Asia were allowed to enter the Sky Meeting Room. If someone sat at the entrance of the meeting room long enough, they might even have a chance to meet a Forbidden Magician.
Feng Li, and Song He, the two advisors from China, were currently seated at the table. The main seats were obviously occupied by the advisors of the United Arab Emirates, followed by the advisors of Japan, India, Korea, Thailand, and a few other Asian countries with a certain population.
The Japanese advisor rose to his feet and said firmly, ”From my point of view, our students' performance is on par with the Chinese team. I do hope the Asia Magic Association will make a fair decision and give the Dark Noble Mantle gifted by the Sacred Magicians to a talented Shadow Magician from Japan, Akira Matsuki!”
She was the advisor of the Japanese team, Fujikata Tegami. She had been promoted as an advisor to the national team from the advisor of the Training Hall.
”Is that some kind of a joke? Don't forget that my students have slain a lot of sea monsters in your East Maritime Fortress, and the world and Peru were very pleased with their contribution to the incident in Nazca. They saved three thousand miners that were trapped, and the cities that were under attack. Do you seriously think the little exploration you did in the rainforest in Brazil was as meaningful as their achievements? You've only explored the outer part of the forest. Any brave group of Hunters could easily do it,” Feng Li retorted in an unpleasant voice.
Even though the advisors of the national team did not stay with the team, the achievements of their team were reported to them right away. The respective Magic Associations of their continent would then evaluate the national teams based on their performance.
The resources distributed to every team were all from the same bowl. The resources were assigned to the national teams depending on the performance and contributions of the national teams during their training.
Contributions greatly outweighed individual performance. It was obvious that the Chinese team had been remarkable in terms of contributions, whether it be killing sea monsters in the East Maritime Fortress, or resolving the incident in Nazca. Even Peru was willing to give the Chinese team the resources that were initially allocated to their national team to express their gratitude.
Such contributions were very meaningful. As such, Feng Li had no reason to let someone else take the resources they deserved.
