Huo Qianjun was deeply moved and was about to report the situation to the Heavenly King Hall immediately.
However...
Su Ye rubbed his hands together.
" Officer Huo, from what you're saying, this finger bone... is very important?"
"Of course it's important. The owner of this finger bone is likely an extraordinary figure, and if we could obtain a part of his body, it could have a huge impact on the situation of all humanity. At the very least, it would allow us to conduct more in-depth Research on the Demon Race!"
"It can be said that this finger bone is the most important gain from this exploration of the Secret Realm."
Huo Qianjun's eyes shone brightly.
They didn't hide this from Su Ye.
Then he laughed.
"Don't worry, you found this, so you'll definitely get your share of the benefits. However, what kind of compensation you'll receive will depend on the unanimous decision of the people in the Heavenly King Hall. But we in Dong Huang never mistreat our meritorious officials."
Huo Qianjun thought Su Ye wanted to ask about the reward for handing over the finger bone, so he laughed.
The little guy is excellent, but he's still too young. We're rushing things.
Su Ye quickly shook his head.
"Of course I believe the country will compensate me. I just want to ask about my Merit Points service."
Merit Points?!
Huo Qianjun immediately thought of a rumor he had heard before.
It seems Su Ye made a pact with someone to aim for the Top Three on the Merit List?
"So that's what it was about... Well, regardless of the nature of this finger bone, you explored the Snow Mountain Deep Pit and brought back information about the situation below, which is extremely important for exploring the Secret Realm. Therefore, as the commander of the Secret Realm Army, I do need to reward you with Merit Points. How about this many?"
Huo Qianjun said a number, and Su Ye immediately nodded repeatedly.
"Thank you, sir!"
The Secret Realm Entrance.
Many people are evacuating from the Secret Realm.
But one person went against the crowd and entered the Secret Realm.
"Is this the Secret Realm?"
The newcomer was tall and handsome.
With a long sword slung across his back, you could tell he was a Swordsman just by looking at his attire.
His sharp aura drew the attention of many senior students passing by the Secret Realm Entrance.
But the newcomer ignored them.
He simply took a deep breath.
"I'm finally in."
The person who arrived was Li Guanqi, who was in the same year as Su Ye.
A month ago, Su Ye and his classmates made a powerful breakthrough to the Second Heaven, becoming the best among the freshmen at Modu University.
They became the only large and small team to enter the Secret Realm.
Many Modu University Students now only know about Su Ye Team among the freshmen.
Besides team leader Su Ye, the team members Xiao Qiyue, Shen Mo, Xia Zhiqiu, Mu Wanrou, and Zhang Xuan are all people who can be talked about with great interest.
As for the other first-year students?
How could they possibly compare to Su Ye's team?
Li Guanqi felt a deep sense of urgency.
He always left everyone else far behind.
He has always been the one praised as a genius.
But now... he's just another face in the crowd.
Li Guanqi was naturally unwilling to accept this.
Therefore, Li Guanqi pushed himself to the limit in his cultivation over the past month, and also consumed a lot of breakthrough resources.
He broke through to the Second Heaven of Extraordinary in just one month.
Then they immediately applied for entry into the Secret Realm realm.
He wanted to prove to everyone... that he, Li Guanqi, was also a genius!
only.
We had barely entered the Secret Realm when the order to retreat was already issued.
Li Guanqi could only stand by and watch regretfully at the Base Camp.
but...
Although he couldn't level up through Slaughter in the Secret Realm, being the second-best person to enter Secret Realm after Su Ye Team suggests there must be rumors circulating about him outside, right?
Li Guanqi stood tall and unyielding.
But her hand had already quietly taken out her phone, and then... she opened the Forum.
I'm already prepared to see topics about myself.
However...
"No?!"
Li Guanqi's eyes widened suddenly, somewhat incredulous.
Freshman.
Breakthrough in Second Heaven within a month!
This Second Heaven of mastery wasn't achieved through drugs!
He even managed to enter the Star Beast Secret Realm through his own efforts!
Each of these points deserves to be discussed in ten or eight posts on the Forum, with hundreds of threads going on.
Why isn't there a single message now?!
This year's Modu University Students are truly the worst he's ever seen!
etc!
Li Guanqi's gaze sharpened as it landed on the top post on the Forum.
[Shocking! Freshman dominates the entire field! Who's Secret Realm Ranking First?!]
The post didn't mention a name, but judging from the content... it was practically just stating Su Ye's ID number!
Has Su Ye become Secret Realm Ranking First?
Li Guanqi came to her senses, but her heart still couldn't quite believe it.
How is that possible?
Su Ye is only a freshman.
His Cultivation Level was only at the Second Heaven... no, it has already reached the Third Heaven.
But before he entered the Secret Realm, he saw that Su Ye was ranked fourth, and there was still a considerable distance between him and third.
At the time, Li Guanqi remarked... "Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only one place difference between fourth and third place; the difference is actually enormous."
Su Ye must be extremely disappointed too, right?
But now...
First?!
Li Guanqi trembled as he clicked on the post.
At the very top is the latest Secret Realm Ranking.
And on the leaderboard.
At the very top of the list is...
[NO.1 Su Ye Cultivation Level, Cultivation Third Heaven, Merit Points 5163]
It really was Su Ye...
Moreover, it actually boosted my Merit Points by 3000 at once!
Li Guanqi was a little confused.
Su Ye not only completely crushed all the top freshmen, but even... he could even crush the sophomores and juniors?!
Previously, he had always aimed to catch up with Su Ye.
He had previously thought that he and Su Ye were only 100 meters apart.
But when I looked up again... the distance had suddenly increased to 1000 meters, and the other person was still running at top speed.
this...
this...
Should we continue pursuing this?!
At that moment, Li Guanqi felt that his beliefs were about to collapse.
That's so discouraging.
And just then...
Several figures hurried over, clearly intending to leave the Secret Realm.
Seeing Li Guanqi standing there in a daze, they couldn't help but slow down.
" Li Guanqi?"
Shen Mo exclaimed in surprise.
"When did you enter the Secret Realm as well?"
Li Guanqi looked up blankly.
I saw Shen Mo, full of vigor and confidence.
They also saw Su Ye, who remained completely calm.
Su Ye!
Li Guanqi's pupils dilated in shock.
Su Ye noticed Li Guanqi's gaze, smiled slightly, and sincerely praised him.
"Li has actually broken through to the Second Heaven! Less than two months before the start of the semester, Li has already reached the Second Heaven. Truly deserving of the title of genius! I'm truly impressed."
Li Guanqi:...
Feeling the faint pressure of the Third Heaven emanating from Su Ye.
Thinking of Su Ye's name, which was at the top of the Secret Realm Ranking, he remembered...
Li Guanqi had a string of "MMP" in his mind, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not.
Damn it, you, a super Monster Prodigy, are sincerely praising someone far inferior to you as a genius.
Isn't this just mockery?!
