Mo Fan immediately went into seclusion to cultivate when the ranking of the participants of the treasure hunt began.
The second round of the World College Tournament came to an end. It was time for the finals. The finals were fairly straightforward. The participants would compete against one another to determine the champion, and the top three would receive great rewards.
Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue had earned two billion in resources. It was equivalent to the total income of a team of five or six people, and it did not include the treasure that Mo Fan had claimed. If the treasure was included, the loot that Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue had earned was comparable to the total income of an entire national team. Not every country had such great luck, and such outstanding strength!
The two men's huge resources made China ranked third in the final resource statistics, just behind the UK and Germany.
The United States, which was known to be the strongest country, was ranked fourth. It was hard to tell if it was because Jack had failed to claim anything.
As for the treasure that was designated as the treasure of the treasure hunt, none of the teams managed to claim it. It was good news for every country.
Treasures on the battlefield were indeed very valuable. If it was a treasure that could increase one's strength, it could very well affect the balance of victory and defeat in the final battle. Many countries were upset that they did not obtain it, but when they came out and found that no one had obtained it, it was good news for them!
However, while these countries were relieved that none of them managed to snag the big fish, they would never have thought that someone on the Chinese national team had managed to steal the treasure of a team from thirty-two years ago. The treasure was even more valuable than the treasure of the current era!
In the treasure hunt, both Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue had displayed outstanding strength. The three of them had defeated a twelve-man team, leaving the spectators around the world with their eyes wide open. Many teams were nervous too. They did not expect China's national team to have two representatives with such insane strength …
That being said, many people also realized that Mo Fan and Mu Ningxue, who were already strong to begin with, had claimed a lot of resources during the treasure hunt. The two magical monsters that were going to evolve in the finals of the World College Tournament would soon appear!
…
As the World College Tournament took place, the whole world was paying close attention to the countries and their students. An election was held in the Citadel of Athens, the capital of Greece.
The position of the Goddess of the Parthenon Temple had been vacant for a long time. The Parthenon Temple's reputation had suffered in recent years after losing its healing power. They were hoping to nurture a new Goddess who would be loved and respected by the people of the world, and whom the Parthenon Temple was proud of!
As soon as the treasure hunt came to an end, the election for Parthenon took place.
It was only the first round of the election. The four most beloved Saintesses would be chosen from the candidates. Even though the election for Parthenon had never been announced to the world, many devout believers were waiting patiently at the foot of the sacred mountain. They believed the candidate who had prayed for their blessings would win the election, and would be the choice of everyone …
The election was announced as the sun was setting. The candidates for the Saintess were Ender, who had the most support, Panijia, who was slightly older than the rest, Asha 'ria, who was the disciple of the previous generation's Great Muse, and Ye Xinxia, who had shocked the whole world by being one of the candidates, and had no idea why she was chosen as the fourth candidate.
Saintess Andi, this candidate, was basically the one who had the throne of the Goddess. Regardless of whether it was the Southern Hemisphere or the Northern Hemisphere, her voice had never wavered. The Temple of Knights behind her had even supported a large portion of the Holy Sky for her, allowing her to be born amidst the clouds and grow up amidst the Holy Light. Everything she did and said made her the most suitable candidate to be the Goddess.
As for the rumors that Saintess Ender did not have a pure and kind heart, in fact, what the Saintess needed the most was wisdom, not the compassion of a mother. Just like the previous Goddess Iza, she was known for her iron fist!
Andi's intelligence was very close to Izisha's. She had the support of the Hall of Knights, which clearly showed that she was not just a pretty face. She was in charge of the strongest armed force of the Parthenon Temple!
On the other hand, Panijia was also born in an ancient family of healers. Compared to Ender's domineering aura, Panijia and the organization behind her knew how to be gentle. They extended an olive branch to all the organizations that were willing to cooperate with Parthenon.
Panijia often did things to win the hearts of the people. The amount of charity done in her name was comparable to the total amount of charity organizations in the world, so Panijia was deeply loved by the people …
Asha 'ria had been loved by the whole of Greece since she was born. In the eyes of the people of Greece, she was the most holy little angel, because she was the adopted daughter of the previous generation's Great Muse, Wen Tai.
Wen Tai's name had spread across the world twenty years ago. He was the only person who could enter and leave the Temple of the Goddess of Parthenon, and the only man who was the Great Muse of the Temple of the Goddess. Everything he did was sensational. In the eyes of the people, he was like a Saint who had descended to the world.
As a matter of fact, the people of Greece referred to Wen Tai as the Saint.
As such, when the Saint Wen Tai passed away, many people who still respected and loved him placed their hopes on his adopted daughter, Asha 'ria. Asha' ria was considered the noblest and purest elf in Greece. Many people were willing to give up everything for her …
She was the only Candidate who did not do anything, nor did she purposely try to maintain her image, yet she still had a bunch of loyal followers!
Most interestingly, Asha 'ria had never been enlightened by any of the Goddesses, nor had she ever shown up in the Hall Mother's classes. Even though she did not want to be a Candidate, the people still pushed her to such a high position. Many people were envious of her as the daughter of the Saint Wen Tai.
It was reasonable that Asha 'ria was chosen as the Saintess, but the fourth Candidate was chosen as the Saintess. Even the people of the Temple of the Goddess were displeased!
Everyone knew that Ye Xinxia had just been promoted from an intern to an official member of the Hall of the Goddess. Even though she had made some contributions in such a short period of time, she was still a long way away from being chosen as the Saintess.
And yet, she was chosen as the Saintess, resulting in a great uproar. Everyone was discussing how powerful the woman's background was, and what kind of person was supporting her, allowing her to become a dark horse and amaze the world!
…
The outside world was in an uproar, and the inside of the temple was even noisier. Xinxia stayed in her room, gazing at the colorful flowers outside the window.
Normally, she would stare blankly at the courtyard outside the window, watching the butterflies dancing in the air. She would not think about anything else, and would just let her mind go …
However, today, she could not stop herself from thinking about it, no matter how hard she tried.
It was too strange!
The matter of Parthenon being the Goddess chosen by the Heavens was no joke. It was related to the whole world!
Not many organizations were more prestigious than the Magic Associations of the different continents, but Parthenon had done it.
In Xinxia's opinion, it was already a great joy for her to become an insignificant member of the Parthenon Sacred Mountain. At least, that was what she thought at the beginning …
However, things did not turn out the way she thought. It was like the ridiculous dream of a little girl.
"Are you afraid?" A clear voice slowly drifted in from outside the window.
Xinxia raised her head slightly and saw a woman so beautiful that she almost forgot to breathe slowly walking toward her. The confidence and calmness on her face was something that Xinxia would need a long time to learn to master …
"Are you … Asha'ria?" Xinxia asked.
Asha'ria had only heard of her name before. She was the most carefree person in the Parthenon. It was Xinxia's first time seeing her …
"Mmm. But you still haven't answered my question. Are you scared? " Asha'ria went up to the bed and leaned toward it. Her soft hair fell on the window sill.
"Indeed," Xinxia nodded.
She was indeed scared. A mere student like her would never be able to accept the great honor that came out of nowhere. Most importantly, she had no idea why she had been chosen!
Why was she chosen? The Hall Mother had only recognized her talent on a whim and asked her to learn from her? However, she ended up being chosen as one of the four Saintesses. In other words, she was only a step away from becoming a Goddess!
This was too unbelievable. Xinxia had never thought that she would be pushed to the top of the altar. She was at a loss for what to do and could not feel at ease!
"Aren't you willing to be the Saintess of Parthenon? Aren't you interested in becoming the Goddess?" Asha'ria asked in a serious tone.
Xinxia shook her head. It was true that she wanted to learn the most magical Healing Arts, but she was utterly terrified of the opportunity to become a God.
"Am … am I being used as a chess piece?" Xinxia murmured as she raised her head.
Asha 'ruiya was taken aback for a moment before she smiled and said, "You're smarter than I thought."
"Are you the one playing chess?" Xinxia asked in a serious tone.
"You're not my chess piece. I did some research on you and found out that you have a brother in China who is not related to you by blood. He's also someone I've been wanting to beat up recently, "Asha 'ruiya said slowly.
"Did he offend you?" Xinxia knew Asha'ria was referring to Mofan.
"He took advantage of me," Asha'ria said.
Xinxia opened her mouth. She was lost for words. On one hand, she was surprised by Saintess Asha'ria's honesty. On the other hand, she was shocked. How bold was her Brother Mofan? He even dared to take advantage of Asha'ria!
