Whoaaa!!
The contestants went into a furor at once, and all of them approached their own respective teachers-in-charge.
“Contestants from the Black Dragon Kingdom, come this way!”
“Those from the Frost Kingdom…”
Meng Lei, Joel, Francis, and the rest of the 52 Fire Dragon Kingdom contestants were also summoned by President Fred and the other five academy presidents.
“The sudden change in the competition rules this time is something that we didn’t expect.”
The six academy presidents looked stern as they said, “With regard to the Lost Continent, we also hadn’t heard even a peep about it prior to this. However, since His Majesty has set that place as the competition ground…”
After a slew of instructions and reminders, the six academy presidents finally asked, “Is there anything else that any of you needs to hand over or prepare? If so, hurry and tell us now so that we can get someone to get it done.”
“No, we’re all prepared!”
“Presidents, do any of you have spare spatial magic devices lying around? Can I borrow them for the time being? The more, the better, and the bigger, the better. I want to use them to store Magical Beast carcasses!”

Naturally, Meng Lei was the one who had raised that request. After all, he was the only one among the 52 Fire Dragon Kingdom contestants that would dare make such a request.
Borrowing spatial magic devices?
To store Magical Beast carcasses?
All the contestants’ gazes fell onto Meng Lei as one, the corners of their lips spasming. They felt a pressing urge to punch that braggart dead.
What the heck!?
All of us have our hearts in our mouths at the thought of heading to the Lost Continent, lest Magical Beasts kill us with just one smack in a moment of carelessness!
On the other hand, you are already thinking about borrowing spatial magic devices to store Magical Beast carcasses? Are you a devil?
“Meng Lei, Magical Beast carcasses won’t get you points.” President Fred shook his head and said with a wry smile, “It’s no use no matter how many you collect.”
“I know I can’t redeem points with Magical Beast carcasses, but I can sell them for money. Think about it.” A smiling Meng Lei said, “One Saint Domain Magical Beast carcass can sell for ten billion gold coins, so ten of them means 100 billion gold coins, and 100 of them means one trillion gold coins! If I throw them away, I’ll be struck by lightning!”
“100 of them...”
“One trillion gold coins...”
The six academy presidents’ lip corners spasmed in response to his words.
You sure are daring in your imagination! 100 Saint Domain Magical Beast carcasses? Why don’t you just ascend straight to heaven?
Despite thinking so, President Fred still brought out a spatial ring after a moment’s hesitation and handed it to Meng Lei.
“Thank you, President!” Meng Lei nodded incessantly and said his thanks. “Don’t worry, President Fred. As long as I’m still breathing, I won’t lose your spatial ring for sure!”
“Good to hear that!”
“Here’s my spatial ring. Take it and use it!”
“Here’s mine, too!”
...
An hour went by very quickly. All the contestants reassembled once more, and then, with the spatial rings and magic communication devices distributed to them in their possession, they entered the teleportation magic circle.
Buzz!
With a flash from the teleportation magic circle, a group of people vanished without a trace.
Then, with another flash, the second group of people also vanished.
Ten minutes later, all the contestants were gone.
As they watched the backs of the contestants disappearing into the magic circle, the teachers-in-charge sighed one after another. “Here’s hoping that more of them can make it back. May the Dragon God watch over you!”
“May the Dragon God watch over you!”
When everyone was gone, and the magic circle returned to total peace and quiet, the Fighting Dragon Academy president finally turned to President Fred. He lowered his voice and asked, “Fred, if I wasn’t mistaken, the spatial ring that you lent Meng Lei just now is probably the Spirit Dragon Ring, right?”
President Fred glanced at him and replied, “What, can’t I do that?”
“Fred, the Spirit Dragon Ring is a half-divine weapon that you obtained in the Ancient Crown Mage Tower. With an existential plane fragment sealed within it, the space inside the ring is astonishingly big. It’s your baby, isn’t it?”
The Fighting Dragon Academy president exclaimed in a low voice, “You can’t even bear to allow others to touch it usually, yet you’ve actually lent it to him. You sure are composed about it! Aren’t you afraid that that kid will lose it?”
“I trust Meng Lei!”
...
The world spun after the contestants entered the teleportation magic circle. By the time they saw light again, Meng Lei and the others were already on a tiny island.
The island was truly very tiny. Measuring less than one kilometer in breadth and length, it was just like a reef and floated all by itself above the boundless ocean!
Howling gusts of wind blew across the ocean, making churning, surging great waves. It was as if they wanted to blow the people away together with the island itself.
The sky was overcast, and their surroundings were also covered in gray, gloomy fog. Visibility was very low—the furthest they could see was only about 100 meters away.
“Where’s the Lost Continent?”
The contestants turned and looked about.
“Look over there!” someone shouted.
The contestants looked over one after another upon the shout, only to see a barely-visible big and tall shadow in the depths of the thick fog. Waves splashed loudly as they crashed against the shadow.
A Blue Dragon Kingdom contestant exclaimed, “There’s land over there!”
Then, he flitted toward the shadow. His toes tapped lightly against the ocean surface as he stepped across the waters. With a
