Secret Realm, Yuan Race

Zhang Zhi stared at the extra line of text that appeared, "Trial Battlefield Secret Realm Activated," for a long time.

He had never even been to a Trial Secret Realm, let alone a Trial Battlefield. The information he had researched didn't mention the existence of a Trial Battlefield at all.

Based on the name, this Trial Battlefield seemed much more dangerous than a Trial Secret Realm.

Was this a stage specifically prepared for strong cultivators?

Did the Trial Tower consider his combat power quite good?

Was it because of the Hundred Consecutive Wins?

That made sense. The Breaking Through Battle wasn't something an average person could win, but he had cheated to win, hadn't he?

After resting well in the Trial Tower Rest Area for a while, his World Bead vibrated. Zhang Zhi realized that the time for the summoned cultivators was almost up.

If he wanted to continue maintaining them, he would have to keep investing World Power.

After weighing his options, Zhang Zhi disconnected from the World Bead.

For him right now, the identity of a World Master had both pros and cons.

The pro was that if there were allies, the World Master identity seemed to be a bonus. The con was naturally that the World Master identity was a natural taunt to enemies, especially races unfriendly to humans. They would definitely target the World Master first.

He wanted to go to the Trial Ground to see what the situation was like inside.

The Trial Ground was the essence of the entire Trial Tower. Plus, now there was an additional Trial Secret Realm. If he wanted to obtain more resources, he had to go.

Taking advantage of this break to catch his breath, he opened the Trial Tower Point Exchange Interface.

The Cards inside made his eyes spin.

He immediately found the Blue Rank Tier 1 Spirit Vein Card, which cost 10,000 points each. At this moment, he had 5,112 points.

He glanced at the remaining quantity of the Tier 1 Spirit Vein Card in the exchange interface, which was 999+. He wondered if he should play the Arena a few more times today.

As long as he didn't encounter Extraordinary opponents like the Bird Demon that flew in the sky, he should be able to overwhelm the opponent with numbers and earn more points. Then he might have enough points to exchange for a Tier 1 Spirit Vein Card. The downside was that this would consume some World Power, and he didn't have much World Power left.

He flipped through the exchange interface for a long time. There were indeed many things that tempted him.

For example, "Initial Understanding of Spiritual Energy," a real Cultivation Technique from the Immortal Hero Path. This, combined with a First-tier Spiritual Vein, would allow his Small World to continuously produce cultivators in the Mortal Transformation and Extraordinary Realms.

That Cultivation Technique wasn't expensive, only 8,500 points. It could be cultivated to Foundation Establishment, which was the Extraordinary Realm. It was a bit cheaper than the Tier 1 Spirit Vein Card. However, the quantity of this Cultivation Technique was a bit low; there were only eleven copies left in the Trial Tower Exchange Shop.

Zhang Zhi calculated in his mind. He could still enter the Trial Secret Realm once now. The Trial Tower's cooldown time was halved. He would come back to the Arena later and should be able to win a few more matches. Within a month, his points would definitely exceed 10,000.

Hopefully, that Skill, "Initial Understanding of Spiritual Energy," will still be there then!

He decided to exchange for "Initial Understanding of Spiritual Energy" first, after all, there were plenty of Tier 1 Spirit Vein Cards.

After continuing to flip through the exchange interface for a while, he discovered something that surprised him: after flipping for a long time, he didn't see a single Card related to the Art of War in the exchange interface.

It seemed that these Art of War Cards were all exchanged as soon as they appeared!

After looking for a long time, he reluctantly pulled his gaze away from the exchange interface. At this moment, he finally understood the feeling of girls shopping in his previous life:

I want this, I want this too, I still want this, but... my wallet is empty!

After closing the exchange interface, he turned his head and looked towards the Trial Secret Realm Teleportation Gate.

That's right, death in the Trial Secret Realm was indeed real death.

However, the Trial Tower would definitely not send World Masters to their deaths. The initial teleportation location would only be a Safe Zone.

After entering the Secret Realm, he would act according to the situation. If things went wrong, he would summon Fang Yun and the others.

Stepping into the Secret Realm Teleportation Gate, a flash of white light appeared, and he found himself in a plaza.

He had just told himself that the Trial Secret Realm couldn't send World Masters to dangerous areas. The next moment, as the white light disappeared, the scene before him startled him greatly!

As far as the eye could see, there were dense crowds of Foreign Races, a race with four eyes, four hands, and four feet, known as the Yuan Race.

They were called Round People because their eyes, hands, and feet faced in four different directions, and they had no concept of a back, which is why they were called the Yuan Race.

The Yuan Race's strength was relatively good. They were distributed in several Main Worlds, and their cultivation paths were also extensive.

After the general situation of the Yuan Race flashed through his mind, just as he was wondering about the situation in this Secret Realm, someone nearby saw Zhang Zhi, who had just been teleported, seemed a bit dazed and immediately shouted at him, "The enemy is powerful, hurry over!"

Zhang Zhi turned his head to look over there. Dozens of people were fighting against the dense crowd of Yuan Race outside, relying on a protective shield.

At this moment, he realized that he was actually in the plaza in front of a Trial Tower. Perhaps due to some protective mechanism, those Yuan Race members had not stepped into the plaza in front of the Trial Tower.

He glanced at the Yuan Race outside and found that there were at least ten or more in the Mortal Transformation Realm, as well as hundreds in the Elite Realm. He was unsure if there were any in the Extraordinary Realm.

The person who had just shouted saw that Zhang Zhi, who had been teleported over, was slow to move and shouted at Zhang Zhi, "Elite Realm cultivation? First time entering a Race Battle Secret Realm? Hurry over, everyone, let's work together to protect ourselves first! You have to kill an Elite Realm Yuan Race member, otherwise, you can't get out."

Zhang Zhi thought for a moment. He was completely confused at this point and had no idea what was going on, so he didn't rashly step out of the plaza.

Among the dozens of people inside the protective shield, there were three in the Mortal Transformation Realm, and the rest were all in the Elite Realm. They were relying on a Protective Formation that seemed to be activated by an Immortal Cultivation Path formation plate, dealing with the dense crowd of Yuan Race members around them.

It seemed that only these people were left in the entire Secret Realm. Looking at the constantly weakening white light, the protective shield didn't seem like it would last much longer.

Behind them was the Trial Tower Plaza. Taking a step back would allow them to hide in the plaza where the Yuan Race couldn't enter. However, except for a few seriously injured people who were sent into the plaza, the others were still struggling outside.

The information he had researched before did not contain detailed information about the Trial Secret Realm, so he had no idea what was going on and didn't dare to rashly run into that group of humans.

At this moment, another person was teleported over next to him. That person glanced at the surrounding situation in surprise and immediately rushed towards the protective shield. Seeing that Zhang Zhi was still in place, he turned back, grabbed him, and tried to pull him towards the protective shield.

He also said, "Hurry and support! If they can't hold on, those Foreign Races will be able to kill their way into the Trial Tower Plaza."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi understood: "As long as there are Human Race members outside the Trial Tower, the Foreign Races cannot step into the Trial Tower Plaza."
