A Spar, and Accepting the Challenge
The woman's voice was extremely soft; even with Xiao Fan's strong mental power, he couldn't hear what they were saying.
Then he saw the man looking at him confidently and asked a question.
"You've come here today to explore the hidden realm behind us, haven't you?"
"So what if it is?"
Seeing Xiao Fan admit it, Li Aohan's smile widened.
Although Mirror City has rarely released games in recent years, it has a very good understanding of the power distribution and behavior of each server.
It's no secret that the White Nation likes to use Barrier Stone to restrict upgrade areas, forcing other players to spend money on upgrades – this capitalist practice is hardly a secret.
He could tell what had just happened at a glance.
The entrance to the secret realm not far away was occupied by players from the White Nation, and three teams from the Dragon Nation, including Jiu Chen's team, were blocked here when they came to explore the area.
The difference in strength between the two sides is huge. If I don't help, Jiu Chen's team won't be able to enter this secret realm today.
"Heh, it seems you guys can't even get into the secret realm now."
Li Aohan spoke with a meaningful expression.
Xiao Fan immediately understood what Li Aohan wanted to do.
Entering the secret realm wasn't difficult for him. If it weren't for Li Aohan and his group of Mirror City players coming here, they might have already finished defeating the first boss.
Seeing that Xiao Fan didn't speak, Li Aohan didn't mind and continued to speak.
"You don't want to waste any more of the triple event time, right? How about this: if you get Jiu Chen to accept my Challenge Letter, I guarantee you'll be able to enter this secret realm, how about that?"
After speaking, Li Aohan looked at Xiao Fan with a smile.
"Have you thought this through? All we need to do is get your captain to accept the challenge, and all the problems will be solved. Why not?"
Xiao Fan realized that if he didn't agree to the duel with Li Aohan, that bastard would definitely not let it go.
They'll definitely cause more trouble in the future.
We need to find a way to make him give up the idea of fighting us.
Looking at the secret realm not far away, Xiao Fan suddenly had an idea.
He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then finally appeared to make a decision.
"You know our captain's strength, so it's a bit difficult for him to accept your challenge. How about this: if you can prove your strength, I'll persuade our captain to accept your challenge, how about that?"
Upon hearing this, Li Aohan.
"Prove my ability? How can I prove it?"
Xiao Fan pointed to the entrance to the secret realm not far away. "We'll enter that secret realm together. If you clear it before us, I'll convince our captain to accept your challenge."
"Okay, it's your decision, so don't go back on your word later."
Li Aohan was surprised that Xiao Fan would make such a request, but he immediately agreed, a look of certainty on his face.
In fact, Li Aohan also felt that he was bound to win this time.
Xiao Fan's team consisted mostly of newbies who had only been playing the game for half a year, while Jing City's team were all veteran players who had been playing the game for ten years.
Of course, he had heard that Jiu Chen's command ability was second to none in the Dragon Nation, but Jiu Chen was Jiu Chen, and his strength did not mean that his teammates were also strong.
More importantly, Li Aohan's command ability is also very strong; he is not a fool like Zong Heng.
He had previously considered meeting Xiao Fan to see who had the stronger command ability.
"Jiu Chen's teammates probably think that only the Dragon Nation has secret realms, and that we Jing City players don't know how to play them. But they don't know that although Jing City doesn't have secret realms, it has movie theaters. Those are a double test of acting skills and strength, much harder than secret realms. With my command, I don't know how many S-rank clears I've achieved. What does Jiu Chen have to compare with me?"
Li Aohan thought confidently.
He had heard of the Dragon Nation's secret realm before, and compared to the movies, it was incredibly simple—just fighting three Fierce Beasts or mutated plants, right?
Isn't that something anyone can do?
Xiao Fan was surprised that Li Aohan agreed so readily. His overly confident demeanor made Xiao Fan feel insecure.
"Could it be that Jing City has some special item that allows direct passage through the secret realm?"
"No way?"
Xiao Fan quickly shook his head.
Even with such precious items, Li Aohan wouldn't use them just to fight him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Fan felt much more at ease. He pointed to the group of foreigners opposite him.
"You need to get their permission for us to enter the secret realm first."
"Oh, and them too."
Xiao Fan pointed to the Flying Fish and the Old Crab beside him.
The two of them immediately gave him a grateful look.
"Waaah, I never expected even Jiu Chen's teammates to be so great."
"No problem."
Li Aohan agreed and then walked straight towards the foreigner opposite him.
Xiao Fan had no idea what he had said to those people.
A few minutes later, the group of foreigners left the entrance to the secret realm.
"Brother Chen, you're supposed to be the third-ranked player on the Combat Power Leaderboard, how come you're not as intimidating as this kid?"
The fat man leaned forward and whispered.
"That's because I didn't reveal my identity, otherwise these foreigners would have vanished by now."
Fatty:...
Okay.
"Alright, now you can enter the secret realm. Don't say I, Li Aohan bullying newbies; you can go first."
Li Aohan gave up the entrance to the secret realm.
"Tch, they're just afraid we'll run away once we enter the secret realm." The fat man rolled his eyes.
Hopefully, he'll be able to laugh out loud later.
"Leave immediately after clearing the level."
Xiao Fan whispered a reminder.
His imitation of Huang Quan is not very good; it only reaches the level of face-changing.
When he got the first clear, the system would still announce his own ID. Xiao Fan didn't want to cause a commotion; he just wanted to quietly complete the triple event period.
The system notification appeared the moment the hand touched the entrance to the secret realm.
"Enter the 25-player Special Secret Realm <Disordered Temple>?"
Xiao Fan was taken aback. This name... why does it sound a bit Western?
Wow, after the server merge, the dungeons have become so diverse?
"Yes."
The next second, Xiao Fan's team disappeared from the spot.
After Flying Fish and his team entered the secret realm, Li Aohan pointed to the people behind him and gave instructions.
"The five of you stay where you are. If Jiu Chen's team tries to leave the secret realm and escape, make sure they are stopped."
Li Aohan's team consisted of thirty people. After the twenty-five people entered the secret realm, there were still five left. They could keep watch over the entrance of the secret realm to prevent Jiu Chen's team from escaping.
"Yes, young master."
After doing all this, Li Aohan led his team into the secret realm.
