An Unexpected and Eye-Opening Experience

The mention of Li Zhongxi's name caused many people's expressions to change drastically.

Even Tang Zichen looked surprised.

Chen Ye was confused.

It wasn't that his memory was bad, but rather... he didn't understand English.

"Class monitor, what is he saying?"

"He said he's Li Zhongxi's younger brother."

Tang Zichen sighed, "I didn't expect the Li family to have another surviving descendant, and one who's in the same freshman year as us."

Chen Ye froze for a moment before realizing who Li Zhongxi was.

He hadn't expected this young man to be the younger brother of that tragic Korean?

However...

What was he trying to do by jumping out at a time like this?

No matter what he intended, it wouldn't be anything good.

Chen Ye became interested and entered spectator mode.

Soon.

The others around them, after being reminded by their companions, also learned of the young man's identity.

As for Li Zairong.

Seeing everyone staring at him in shock.

A triumphant smile spread across his face.

"I've waited so long for this day!"

The Japanese youth from before frowned and said, "Putichai, regardless of your identity, we are allies now. Let's focus on completing this mission objective first!"

"Allies? Heh heh..."

Li Zairong sneered dismissively, then said coldly, "All of you deserve to die!"

As soon as he said that, everyone's gaze towards Li Zairong changed, filled with hostility.

Even a fool could tell that Li Zairong had malicious intentions.

"Putichai, are you crazy?" A dark-skinned Thai youth anxiously tried to explain to everyone, "Everyone, Putichai's actions only represent himself and have nothing to do with us. Our Thai team remains your ally."

Chen Ye suddenly frowned.

These short-lived bastards were all speaking gibberish, making it impossible for him to spectate properly.

"Class monitor, help me translate."

"Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Tang Zichen said helplessly, "While we have this chance, you should be thinking about how to escape!"

Chen Ye replied, "We can think about escaping slowly. Right now, I need to figure out why they're turning on each other."

"What else could it be?" Tang Zichen said, "The ones who forced Li Zhongxi's entire family to their deaths were countries all over the world, and everyone present has some connection to it. Li Zhongxi's brother revealing his identity at this moment has only one purpose: revenge!"

"He's just one person, how can he get revenge?" Chen Ye was a little surprised.

"Just keep watching, and you'll know."

The two of them discussing in hushed tones didn't affect anyone else.

A white youth arrogantly declared, "I don't care where you're from, nor am I interested in your brother. Don't interfere with my bounty hunting, OK? If you don't heed my warning, I guarantee I'll rip your spine out!"

Seeing the arrogant way he spoke, it was clear he was from America.

Upon hearing the threat, Li Zairong merely gave a cold smile, completely unconcerned.

His composed demeanor made many intelligent people frown, realizing something was amiss.

The Japanese youth followed up, "Li Zairong, is it? While I don't know what gives you the confidence to step forward at a time like this, aren't you afraid that this incident will cause your homeland to be subjected to scrutiny and indictment again?"

What he said sounded reasonable.

However, Li Zairong was instantly enraged, shouting like a resentful woman:

"I have no homeland! The moment they stood by and did nothing when my family needed help, the Peninsula was no longer my country!"

"Brother Zhongxi clearly listened to them before doing that..."

If Chen Ye could understand, he would have definitely cursed: "This is so damn awkward!"

"Buddy, can we not waste time?" a Black man asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Li Zairong took a deep breath, then wore a cold smile, his expression turning manic, "It's very simple: kill all of you... kill everyone in this Secret Realm!"

"I believe that when people like you with S-rank talent die here, those outside will be quite upset, won't they?"

The Black man scoffed at this, "With just you?"

Li Zairong also smiled, "Of course I can't, but it definitely can!"

As his voice fell.

The guy suddenly took out a glass jar.

Inside the glass jar was a rather rotten-looking heart, already black.

Strangely, this heart was actually alive and still beating!

"What is this?"

"Could it be..."

Someone spoke, their tone filled with disbelief and terror.

Li Zairong's face revealed a sinister smile.

"Everyone, this is a gift my brother left for you!!"

After saying this, Li Zairong raised the glass jar in his hand and smashed it hard onto the ground.

Bang!

With a crisp sound, the glass jar shattered into pieces.

The black heart also rolled onto the ground, exposed to the air.

Although there were no unusual reactions around, for some reason, everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts, a premonition of impending disaster.

Li Zairong then laughed maniacally:

"Hahaha... Die all of you! There are still nine full days left, you can't escape. It will definitely kill you all!!"

These words confirmed some people's suspicions.

A young man from Thailand stammered, "Putichai, this, this heart... is it related to the monster your brother created back then? You... you released a demon?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in shock:

"What? The monster that Li Zhongxi created is still in the Secret Realm? How is that possible?"

"My teacher never told me the monster's final whereabouts..."

"Impossible! If that monster is still in the Secret Realm, why haven't we heard of it appearing in so many years?"

"Don't fall for it, this damned guy is definitely trying to scare us!!"

"Hmph! What are you afraid of? Even if that monster really exists, so what? With so many of us, can't we kill it?"

"Buddy, you're right. At least half of us have perfect S-class talent. If the monster dares to come, I'll make it taste my iron fist."

It seemed that.

Quite a few people knew about Li Zhongxi's matter.

Among those present, perhaps only Chen Ye, the "underachiever," didn't know and would only find out from Tang Zichen.

Hearing everyone's words, Li Zairong laughed heartily, "It has always existed, it just lacked a heart, so it fell into a deep slumber. Now, it should have awakened!"

As if to verify Li Zairong's words.

On a distant mountain peak, a terrifying howl suddenly erupted:

"Roar!!!"

The sound was like the roar of an ancient beast, possessing immense oppressive power.

Even though the mountain peak was still far away, everyone could hear it clearly.

It was definitely not something an ordinary zombie could emit.

Everyone's expression changed.

"Baka!"

A burly man from the Japanese team shouted, "You damned bastard, you could have released the monster earlier, why did you choose now?"

"Choosing now not only disrupts your plans but also allows me to see all of you in fear and despair, isn't that more interesting?"

Li Zairong laughed wildly, his expression completely deranged, "I want you all to experience the pain of despair properly!!"
