Entering the Secret Realm
Lin Mu nodded slightly. "Yes!"
Wang Zhihui said in a cold tone, "You should know something about the Void Probing Secret Realm. My requirements are not high: don't hold us back, and don't embarrass our school and country!"
Lin Mu nodded. "No problem!"
Wang Zhihui glanced at Lin Mu but didn't say anything.
After a while, Chen Youcai said to everyone, "The Teleportation Array is ready. I hope that each of you will gain something in the Void Probing Secret Realm!"
Several people nodded.
"Go!" Chen Youcai, who was not one for words, said immediately.
The group of people walked towards the Teleportation Array not far away.
The Teleportation Array was filled with various Spirit Stone, shimmering with dazzling light.
As the group entered, the surrounding space changed.
The figures of the group disappeared from the spot.
Chen Youcai breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.
He knew very well that these people were geniuses he had carefully selected.
It remains to be seen how they will perform in the Void Probing Secret Realm.
A figure approached Chen Youcai's side. "Principal, the equipment is ready!"
"Yes!" Chen Youcai nodded slightly.
They walked toward the teaching building, where there was an equipment space underground.
It was filled with all sorts of equipment.
Chen Youcai sat down in a Virtual Pod, and his consciousness was uploaded.
The next moment, he appeared in a huge conference hall.
Dozens of figures sat in positions marked with their respective national symbols.
Chen Youcai arrived in the Dragon Country area and sat down.
Besides Chen Youcai, there were also some important figures from Dragon Capital and Jiang Province.
Their identities were similar to Chen Youcai's, and some of them were even stronger than Chen Youcai.
As everyone took their seats, images appeared on the screens in front of them.
Scenes came into view one after another.
That was a scene of everyone Void Probing Secret Realm.
Everyone who enters the Void Probing Secret Realm carries a holographic device, allowing them to observe the behavior of others within the Void Probing Secret Realm.
"Old Chen, what are the chances that the people you selected this year will win first place?" a middle-aged man sitting next to Chen Youcai asked.
Those who know him will know that his name is Tang Hexuan, and he is the secretary to the governor of Jiang Province.
He often took care of things that the provincial governor couldn't handle.
"About 30%!" Chen Youcai said.
Tang Hexuan frowned slightly.
He was not very satisfied with this number.
An elderly man sitting at the front smiled slightly and said, "Don't make things difficult for him. After all, there's still the Eagle Country. They'll do anything to win first place!"
"That's not what I meant. I just feel that he didn't do his best!" Tang Hexuan explained.
He knew the old man's identity.
His name is Cai He, he comes from Dragon Capital, and he is the leader of one of the eight associations in Dragon Capital. His status and position are higher than theirs.
Cai He was somewhat surprised and immediately asked, "Didn't he do his best? How do you know he didn't do his best?"
"Most of the people he selected are excellent, except for one!" Tang Hexuan said, "This person Lin Mu, and he has only just entered the Third Order. How can someone like that participate in this kind of trial?"
"Just entered the Third Order!" Cai He's eyes narrowed slightly.
He looked at Chen Youcai: "Youcai, what's going on?"
Chen Youcai immediately explained, "He has great potential!"
Cai He nodded slightly. "Since he's the one you've chosen, he must have something unique about him!"
Tang Hexuan snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's some kind of nepotism case!"
Chen Youcai's eyes flashed with coldness. "Secretary Tang, what you said is going too far!"
"We'll find out soon enough whether he's a mule or a horse. If he really drags us down, I'll report this to the provincial governor. I'm afraid Old Chen won't be able to take that responsibility!" Tang Hexuan said coldly.
"Since it's my decision, I can take responsibility for it. On the contrary, Secretary Tang is speaking so confidently. Be careful you don't get slapped in the face!" Chen Youcai said.
"Ridiculous! Someone who has just entered the Third Order and has no special physique wants to fight his way through these people? Who does he think he is!"
"Don't say I look down on him. If he can achieve any outstanding results in this trial, I'll eat the table!" Tang Hexuan mocked.
"You said it yourself, so don't go back on your word!" Chen Youcai said.
"What if he doesn't make it into the top ten?" Tang Hexuan countered.
"I will resign from my position as vice principal!" Chen Youcai said.
Tang Hexuan's eyes held a hint of sneer; he hadn't expected Chen Youcai to be so arrogant.
This is a place where geniuses gather.
How could someone like Lin Mu, with his humble origins and average physique, possibly have managed to break through?
"As expected of Principal Chen, he's got quite the big mouth. I'd like to see if he's really worth your attention!" Tang Hexuan said coldly.
Cai He remained silent.
He knew that Tang Hexuan and Chen Youcai had never gotten along.
The two disagreed on many things.
Although this matter may not necessarily lead to Chen Youcai's resignation in the end, he will certainly be made difficult.
However, it's not convenient for him to say anything right now.
Because this looks like a quarrel between Tang Hexuan and Chen Youcai.
In reality, it was a clash between two forces within the Provincial Capital.
"Lin Mu!" Cai He murmured the name to himself.
He was curious about what kind of being it was.
To be admired by Chen Youcai so much.
While the argument was raging, spectators from several other countries were also holding lists.
Many people are assessing the strength of the Dragon Country and the Eagle Country.
Because these two countries are absolute superpowers.
They control the vast majority of resources.
In the past, the top spot has always been won by either of these two countries.
In comparison, the contestants from the Eagle Country are slightly stronger than those from the Dragon Country in all aspects.
What puzzled them was why someone who had just entered the Third Order would be assigned to this position.
"What's going on? Why would the Dragon Country send someone like this?"
"I don't know, maybe it has some special ability!"
"I've heard that Dragon Country is a country that values interpersonal relationships and social interactions. Is it possible that this person got the job through connections?"
"If connections have reached this level, then they are truly corrupt!"
"..."
Many people are discussing it and paying attention to Lin Mu.
If Lin Mu's performance is acceptable, then he is certainly not someone with connections.
If Lin Mu performs poorly, it will likely have some impact on his international reputation.
Some rumors will also circulate.
The Eagle Country also saw the list, and they wore sneers.
In their view, they were certain to win first place in this trial.
Because they also have the help of the Turtle Country.
What does Dragon Country have to compare with them?
On the other side, Lin Mu and the others had already entered the Secret Realm.
Under Wang Zhihui's arrangement, each of them carried a holographic projector, and images were transmitted to them one after another.
Lin Mu looked ahead and saw a magnificent ancient palace!
