"Is this little girl also going to participate in the Academy Tournament?" Su Zhe looked at Ji Mumu next to Ji Shao, somewhat puzzled.
Ji Shao said, "This is my younger sister, Ji Mumu. She's quite capable. We'll take her to the Secret Realm to see the effects of her abilities and have her spar with Jianping before deciding whether she should enter the Academy Tournament."
"Oh, oh." Su Zhe was taken aback, glancing at Ji Shao and then at Ji Mumu. The more he looked at them, the less they seemed like sisters.
Ji Shao has a terrifyingly explosive temper, but this little sister is well-behaved and adorable. Are they really sisters?
He dared not speak, nor dared he ask, for fear that he would end up like Su Xian, burned black.
However, Su Zhe's return to the team brought some joy, since this guy never stopped talking.
Hearing Su Zhe's words, Li Chen asked, "Has your ability changed?"
Su Zhe nodded. "My ability wasn't B-level before Get Stronger by Eating. Now, with my improved cultivation level, my ability has also been upgraded by one level, becoming A-level."
Even the name has changed; it's now called "Devourer."
"I can absorb and digest anything within my field of vision, much like before, except that I can eat more things now."
"I can even absorb steel and transform it into pure energy, which then benefits my own body."
As Su Zhe spoke, he flicked his finger, and suddenly a black hole-like halo appeared on the road, instantly sucking in a small tree that could be seen anywhere by the roadside.
Li Chen and the others looked at Su Zhe, but he didn't react much.
Su Zhe seemed embarrassed by their stares and quickly said, "That tree was simply absorbed into my body and instantly digested into energy, but I'm now at the Withered Sea Realm, so my energy storage is definitely much stronger than that of the Looking River Realm."
"This little tree isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap."
Li Chen nodded slightly. This ability was very strong. He was even wondering what would happen if Su Zhe absorbed and digested a human.
He wasn't talking about ordinary people, but rather those at the Sequence User of cultivation. Wouldn't Su Zhe get more energy from digesting them than from devouring these small creatures?
It can even devour Eerie Monsters?
However, it's not a good time to experiment with it now, since this ability belongs to Su Zhe. If he uses it properly, this evolved ability will definitely be very powerful, and his cultivation level will improve very quickly.
But the premise is that he can devour those things, just like when he absorbed the Forbidden Substance from the Eerie Monsters's body. If Su Zhe absorbed it, he might also die.
For now, we can only abandon this idea for the time being.
No wonder his Instructor Yu told him before that Su Zhe had great potential; that was indeed true.
If Su Zhe doesn't die, he will definitely become a Calamity Realm expert.
Soon the group arrived at the Secret Realm.
The Secret Realm has undergone significant changes. Since their Special Class was allowed to enter, the academy, under pressure from many students, has finally opened up access to it.
All students can now enter.
However, the rules remain the same: teams are required. After all, the academy is worried that some students might encounter danger in the Secret Realm and die there without anyone to rescue them.
Eight massive gates stand here.
Their choice was naturally the Fire Door, representing flames.
This also corresponds to Ji Mumu's abilities.
The best way to accurately test her abilities is to test her in the same environment.
The group stepped inside.
A gust of hot wind swept over my face.
"Wow, it's so hot!!" As soon as Su Zhe entered, sweat poured down his forehead. Although he was a powerful expert in the Withered Sea Realm, the fire energy inside was too pure.
Ji Shao didn't sense anything amiss. He slightly raised his arm, and flames danced on it.
The title "Flame Queen" is well-deserved.
Ji Mumu, on the other hand, had never been here before, but she looked rather delighted. She could feel that her body really liked this place, and she even felt the warmth of home.
This was also Li Chen's first time entering this Secret Realm. He looked around and felt the energy fluctuations within.
Unlike the Secret Realm, this place is almost entirely filled with fire energy, making it an excellent training ground for students who are awakening their fire-related energies.
However, Li Chen didn't care about any of that. His abilities allowed him to choose which Secret Realm to use. To put it nicely, he wasn't picky, as long as it provided energy.
The group strolled around inside for a bit.
Many students are currently battling Eerie Monsters born from the flames within those Secret Realms, but that's not their purpose in coming here today.
A completely empty place.
On the cracked ground, flames were seen emerging from the fissures.
Li Chen said, "Let's begin."
Ji Mumu nodded slightly, her expression extremely serious. She opened her small hand, and a golden flame spontaneously appeared.
Instantly, golden light appeared in her pupils, and her black hair seemed to be ignited and enveloped in flames.
Her body floated up.
A "chirp" sound rang out.
A phantom image of a large golden bird appeared in the sky, circling continuously.
The flames on the ground seemed to be fully activated, and they began to erupt in all directions.
In this situation, Li Chen looked at Jianping and said, "I'll do it."
After all, Ji Mumu had already floated into the air.
Jianping is difficult to reach, so we can only have him conduct the testing.
Li Chen instantly flew into the air, staring directly into Ji Mumu's golden eyes. He could feel a faint sense of pressure pressing down on him.
However, she's too weak; after all, Ji Mumu is only at the Dripping Water Realm.
He said, "Use all your power."
Ji Mumu seemed to have entered her current state, her expression unusually cold, like a deity descended to earth.
She murmured, "Chase."
Suddenly, a giant arrow formed of golden flames appeared in the sky.
Empty~
A sound of something cutting through the air rang out.
The flaming arrow had already been fired, and a large golden bird appeared in the sky, flying rapidly and charging forward.
Li Chen remained expressionless as an invisible barrier appeared in front of him.
Boom! Boom!
A huge explosion rang out.
However, Li Chen was unharmed, and his eyes did not change much, as if he was measuring data.
"Not bad, its attack power is very strong."
"It was fast, but it seems this attack has already exhausted Ji Mumu."
Li Chen was not only paying attention to the power and effect, but also to Ji Mumu's condition. He could clearly see that after this attack, the energy around Ji Mumu began to slow down and was not as violent as before.
Moreover, he could see that Ji Mumu's small mouth was beginning to turn slightly pale, indicating that the attack had used up most of her energy.
However, that won't do. If she only has one hit, she should probably give up on this Academy Tournament; she'll just become a burden.
Li Chen looked at Ji Mumu and asked, "How is it?"
Ji Mumu did not answer, her expression somewhat pale. She slightly raised her hands, and flames were gathering.
This shows that she hasn't given up, but at this moment she finally felt the pressure from Li Chen.
That's really terrifying...
