Alex counted the boxes in front of him and covered each one one by one.

Then he turned to Holt and grinned: "What? You're a Legend-stage mage, and you want one too?"

Holt was a little shocked by Alex's words. "Master Alex, do you mean..."

Alex smiled. "It doesn't matter what level you are. If you want it, I'll give you one."

Without hesitation, Alex pulled out a [Divine Fruit] from his pocket and tossed it into Holt's arms.

Holt didn't expect that after messing up his task, he would still get a Divine Fruit from Alex. He was moved to tears and knelt on one knee, shouting: "Master, the Holt family will be your lifelong allies!"

Alex enjoyed the loyalty and slowly reached out to help Holt up. "Do your job well, and I won't let you down."

Holt nodded with a determined look. "Master, don't worry. I won't let Logan leave Snow Dragon alive."

Alex saw what Holt was planning and warned: "I won't stop you, but during the Federal Familiar Ranking Match, you can't touch Logan!"

Holt raised an eyebrow. "Why not? What if Logan wins and wastes your prize?"

Alex smiled slightly. "No problem. If he dies, his familiar will be ours anyway."

Holt's eyes lit up. "Right! If he's dead, his familiar is ours!"

Alex watched Holt leave the hall, holding the [Divine Fruit] with excitement. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. "Right. All your familiars belong to me."

…

Inside Snow Dragon, as soon as Logan said goodbye to Natalia, he was blocked by Fischl and two others.

"Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Logan looked at the three girls in surprise.

"Competing." Fischl said coldly, which immediately caught Logan's attention.

"Who are you?" Logan tried to remember the name of this cold beauty, but couldn't.

"I'm Fischl. You don't need to remember. You don't know me." Fischl read his mind and explained directly.

Logan scratched his head, trying to ease the awkwardness.

So he asked about their registration.

The result? Only Fischl had signed up.

And her familiar was also an A-Level one.

"I'm here to sign up for the competition because of the final prize—the Divine Fruit." Fischl said, looking up at Logan. "I know you'll definitely win. If there's a [Divine Fruit] in the prize, I hope you'll sell it to me."

"Sell it to me?" Logan was surprised.

Before Logan could ask more, Fischl pulled out her phone and showed him a long list of numbers on the screen. "If you're worried, I can pay you a deposit in advance."

Logan stared at the zeros behind the numbers and was momentarily speechless.

He hadn't expected Fischl to be richer than him.

"Is this [Divine Fruit] that important?" Logan asked, but Fischl immediately frowned.

"Ever since the chairman disappeared, the [Divine Fruit] has been added to the prize list of the Federal Familiar Ranking Match. Over a hundred of them have been given out so far." Fischl explained patiently. "In short, almost every top familiar tamer in the human federation in the past ten years has used a [Divine Fruit] for their familiar."

At this, Fischl looked directly at Logan and said seriously: "Some familiar tamers even stay at the Master stage on purpose just to get a Divine Fruit."

Hearing this, Logan frowned. "A fruit, how special could it be?"

Fischl gave him a look. "After eating a [Divine Fruit], you can awaken a [Divine Talent] or [Divine Skill] without any side effects. A plain [Fire Ball] can suddenly become [Celestial Fire Rain], and [Iron Hide] can turn into [Titan's Body]."

After hearing what the [Divine Fruit] could do, a hint of caution appeared on Logan's face.

If what Fischl said was true, then this Divine Fruit was definitely not normal.

"You want to buy my [Divine Fruit]." Logan said, looking at Fischl with a sharp look: "because you don't want me to use it?"

"I really don't want you to use it." Fischl said straight out. "There might be a secret behind it." Her words made Logan even more confused.

But soon, Logan sorted his thoughts out.

Since the thing is a prize offered by the council, just ask old Tattalia.

Logan settled the three girls—Fischl and the others—then immediately called old Tattalia.

When he said he wanted to look into the [Divine Fruit], Tattalia explained it was connected to the Morgan family.

"The Morgan family?" Hearing the name of the oldest and most powerful family, Logan narrowed his eyes. "So this [Divine Fruit] is also being controlled by Alex."

After that, Logan went to find Natalia and mentioned the [Divine Fruit].

"I've never used it, but it's true that it can greatly strengthen a familiar." Natalia said, gently patting Logan's shoulder. "If you want to look into it, why not win the Federal Familiar Ranking Match first?"

"That's not a problem for me." Logan said casually.

"Whatever." Natalia rolled her eyes. "You're just bragging."

The next day, the Federal Familiar Ranking Match began, and the round-robin stage started.

Logan and his group arrived at the Snow Dragon Square with their familiars.

In the center of the square, there were many altars, each one with a space rift above it.

Seeing this, Logan asked around to find out what was going on.

It turned out these space rifts were connected to fragments of small Blood Cultivation Realms.

After being developed by familiar tamers, these small realms had their spatial fragments kept on purpose, so their internal space wouldn't collapse.

The Federal Arcane Warden used Rune Arrays to bind these fragments to the altars, creating the amazing scene before them.

According to the rules, the familiars who drew the numbers had to go into the corresponding Blood Cultivation Realm in order.

The fights between familiars were recorded and broadcast live, and each match would change the familiar's score.

After understanding the rules, Sawako, Yelena, and Jessica quickly found their opponents and entered the first round of battle.

Since the three girls had rarely fought before, there was almost no information about them on the federal network.

But they were registered as Logan's familiar tamers, so many netizens were watching them.

In fact, some even placed bets on how strong the three girls were.

But the three girls didn't know about it—they were focused entirely on their battles.

Yelena's A-level familiar was a [Hell Phoenix]. known for its strong life force and control over elements.

As soon as she released her familiar, the opponent's familiar felt a huge pressure and showed a bit of fear.

The battle that followed was a total one-sided fight. In ten matches, ten familiars were all swallowed by the [Hell Phoenix's] Hell Inferno.

This result even confused the judges. They didn't know how to score the [Hell Phoenix], because each opponent was basically taken out in one hit.

In the end, Yelena's [Hell Phoenix] finished the round-robin stage with 23,700 points.

On the other side, Sawako's A-level familiar, the [Golden Thunder Wolf King]. had terrifying fighting power and lightning abilities.

Unlike the [Hell Phoenix], which finished opponents with a single Hell Inferno, the [Golden Thunder Wolf King] often tore through enemies with its fangs and claws.

After ten matches, almost none of the opponents of the [Golden Thunder Wolf King] were left unharmed. They were all seriously injured and couldn't continue the next matches.

Because of its fierce style, Sawako's [Golden Thunder Wolf King] finished the round-robin stage with 25,600 points.

As for Jessica, the moment she released her familiar: [Angel Diana]. the whole network went wild.

There were many stories and legends about angels in the human federation, and people were very curious about them.

Diana didn't disappoint the fans. In every battle, she defeated her opponents with beautiful holy light magic and angelic combat skills.

After ten matches, there were over a thousand different video clips of [Diana's] battles online. It seemed like every clip had a highlight moment.

In the end: [Angel Diana] finished the round-robin stage with 25,800 points.

Compared to the three girls, Logan's round-robin matches were much more complicated.

Since he had signed up three familiars at the same time, his battle schedule was very tight.

The first match, Logan's [Horned Hawk Red Feather] faced an opponent with a [Divine Skill]—an A-level 1-star [Steel Dragon].

[Species: Steel Dragon]

[Stats: Storm, Rock]

[Ranking: A-level 1-star]

[Stage: Master 5 stars]

[Talents: Iron Hide, Wind Barrier]

[Skills: Storm Wings of Wind, Hurricane Dragon Breath, Steel Blade Impact, Wind Spiral (Divine)]

[Wind Spiral: Create a strong wind that pulls everything around into the eye of the storm, sending it into another dimension.]

[Stats: Power 283, Stamina 285, Mind 118, Agility 195]

…

Seeing the opponent's Divine Skill, Logan frowned slightly.

This Steel Dragon already had a strong combination of skills, and with such high stats, it's no wonder it had won a [Divine Fruit] before.

Now, it's back for the ranking match, clearly aiming to get another [Divine Fruit].

But Logan wasn't worried about Red Feather. After all, just by stats, his Horned Hawk Red Feather was already stronger.
