There were a total of five sorcery academies on the continent, located in the central, north, south, east, and west of the continent respectively.
The Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy was in the center and was also the earliest sorcery academy established.
As the other empires were afraid that the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy would monopolize the knowledge of sorcerers, they also began to nurture sorcerers themselves.
These sorcerers gradually formed an academy and passed down the sorcery knowledge they piled together.
As a result, the White Sorcery Academy, the Grand Ridge Sorcery Academy, the Wind Spirit Sorcery Academy, and the Moon Dawn Sorcery Academy were also established.
The four great academies and the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy were collectively known as the halls of sorcerers. Almost all of the sorcerers came from these five great academies.
Every four years, the five sorcery academies would hold a gathering. At first, they would only discuss magic theories together, but later on, the differences between different magic theories became greater and greater.
As a result, the sorcerers of different academies looked down on each other. A verbal exchange then turned into a real fight.
As it was very easy for a battle between sorcerers to turn into a destructive war, to prevent the situation from expanding, the five major colleges made an agreement.
Every five years, a magic competition would be held to verify who was the strongest sorcery academy.
Once that academy won the championship, he would become the number one sorcery academy on the continent for the next five years.
Such a great honor made the five great magic academies desperately prepare for the competition every five years. They had to fight for this honor.
After all, it was once every five years, and most people could only participate once in their academy life.
This was also an opportunity for an ordinary sorcerer to make a name for himself. Even if he was not the champion, as long as he could participate in the sorcery competition, it would mean that he was an elite of this school.
During the competition, countless nobles would also come because of the fame. As long as they performed well in the competition, they would be invited by other nobles after graduation or directly join the royal court.
Therefore, this was an opportunity, the most important opportunity for every sorcerer.
Once one obtained a ranking, it would be his lifetime honor.
Although there had been many instances in history where the Sacred Dragon Sorcery Academy had won the championship, they had lost to the Wind Spirit Sorcery Academy the previous round.
This made the entire academy feel extremely humiliated. Thus, the academy attached great importance to this year’s sorcery competition. They had to win back the championship.
“There can be no mistakes in this sorcery competition. Three days later, the school will hold an internal competition, and the winner will represent our school in the sorcery competition!”
Atais knew the importance of this competition. With a heavy expression, he immediately replied, “Understood!”
Then, the shadow gradually disappeared.
Atais’ expression gradually turned solemn as he turned to look out the window.
On the other side, Linley Bart was planning to return to his room.
He had already dug up a treasure chest today and he had gained quite a lot.
However, the system’s voice sounded again:
“Ding! There’s a Diamond Treasure Chest 600 meters southwest of the host!”

Just as Linley Bart was about to head back, he suddenly stopped. He looked towards the southwest direction, where there was a tall building.
There was actually a Diamond Treasure Chest there!
The Golden Treasure Chest had already given him such a powerful ability.
What would appear in a Diamond Treasure Chest?
Linley Bart really couldn’t hold back his curiosity. He ran towards the direction indicated.
When he reached the tall building, he realized that it was a female dormitory.

If he was discovered, it would be hard to explain. He had to find a better opportunity to enter.
But just as Linley Bart turned to leave…
The system suddenly said, “If the treasure chest is not opened within an hour, it will disappear.”

Hearing that the treasure chest would disappear, Linley Bart felt extremely reluctant. After all, this was a Diamond Treasure Chest.
If he missed it this time round, they might never meet again.
Furthermore, he had just offended Otto. Otto would definitely not let the matter rest so easily.
Linley Bart had to improve himself! Otherwise, his life might be in danger at any moment.
Since he had gotten his hands on this system, he should open all the treasure chests available!
After making up his mind, Linley Bart looked around, then quietly slipped inside.
Following the system prompt, he walked into the female dormitory.
The treasure chest was in one of the bedrooms. He quietly pushed open the door of the room the treasure chest was in. Thankfully, there was no one in the bedroom.

In the room, he found the treasure chest that was shining with diamond light.
“Open the treasure chest!”

“Ding, the Diamond Treasure Chest is opened!”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining a B-rank spell, [Fire Tongue]!”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining an A-rank spell, [Flaming Storm]!”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining an S-rank spell, [Spirit Control]!”
These spells were in the form of strange characters which instantly drilled into Linley’s mind.
The names of these skills appeared on his system interface like a game button.
He did not need any time or effort to learn it. All he needed to do was press the button and he would be able to cast these high-level spells!
These spells were not simple.
Magic spells were divided into different ranks. Starting from E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and lastly, the SSS-rank.
There were a total of eight ranks of magic spells that corresponded to the magic that could be mastered as an Apprentice Sorcerer to a Holy Magister.
Low-level magic powers could not control high-level magic spells. If a low-level sorcerer forcefully used high-level magic spells, it would cause the magic to go out of control and result in a backlash on themselves.
Therefore, no one dared to use magic that was beyond their levels because these were experiences that predecessors had accumulated through trial and research.
Just as Linley Bart was feeling smug about having acquired these spells…
Footsteps could be heard from behind. Linley Bart became startled.
Oh no, someone was coming back!
He was currently in the female dormitory! Furthermore, he was squatting in front of a girl’s bed and touching her bed!
There was no way to explain himself out of such a situation.
