First Meeting of the Ten Protagonists!

Meanwhile.

Several small holes along both sides of the passage quietly released some kind of gas.

The four who had just entered the passage instantly felt their minds grow heavy and collapsed to the ground.

The production crew was busy.

They were coordinating everything that needed to be done after knocking them out.

"Production crew: Extras teams, carry the disciples entering from each area to their designated locations according to the original plan."

Although the so-called Mystic Realm was an underground space, it still needed to retain an air of mystery.

At the very least, they could not simply walk down a staircase when entering the Mystic Realm. That would be far too suspicious.

After weighing everything, they decided to knock them out first, then take them away, so they could experience the mystery of the Mystic Realm.

Fortunately, Lin Hao's cultivation was still low. Otherwise, the production crew might not have been able to fool him.

Time passed.

Lin Hao felt groggy, his mind somewhat dazed.

Only after a long while did he realize that he had entered the Green Willow Mystic Realm.

"Where did the others go?"

After looking around and rubbing his head, Lin Hao discovered that the other three people who had entered with him were nowhere to be seen.

It seemed that the Mystic Realm randomly teleported those who entered to different places.

As expected of a Mystic Realm.

Following the small path through the underground space, Lin Hao could only keep moving forward.

There was no map here, nor was there any guidance. He could only rely on his intuition.

Before long.

He stood before five intersections and fell into thought.

A maze?

No, this Mystic Realm could not be that simple. It definitely was not just an ordinary maze.

Touching the walls at the intersections, Lin Hao tried to sense the spiritual energy in each direction.

Unfortunately, he sensed nothing.

The spiritual energy here was exactly the same as outside. Apparently, the builders of this Mystic Realm had long considered that someone might use spiritual energy to "cheat."

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Just as Lin Hao was hesitating, the roar of a ferocious beast suddenly came from deep within one of the passages.

There was a living creature?

According to the relevant theories, wherever there were ferocious beasts, there would be treasures!

He would choose this one!

Having made his choice, Lin Hao circulated his spiritual energy and shot forward at high speed.

With that speed, he could easily qualify as an elite athlete.

"Chief production crew: Logistics Unit Three, prepare yourselves. The battle against the ferocious beast storyline is about to begin. Keep the beast under control. Over."

A Mystic Realm naturally had to contain dangers.

Having no ferocious beasts at all would be unrealistic. Fortunately, a technology company had developed a nanochip capable of controlling wild animals.

Through special stimulation, it could instantly render animals implanted with the chip incapable of fighting, ensuring the actors' safety.

The closer Lin Hao got to the roars, the slower his steps became. Eventually, he grew even more cautious.

Hiding behind a huge boulder, he peered through a crack at the ferocious beast crouching in place.

However, this beast looked somewhat familiar.

"Roar!"

Just as Lin Hao was still pondering, the beast suddenly went mad for some reason.

It rammed wildly into the surrounding air before charging toward the boulder.

A tremendous crash rang out, and huge cracks spread across the boulder.

Blood-red light gleamed in the beast's eyes, which stared at Lin Hao with cold ferocity.

It was his first time fighting a ferocious beast, so it was only natural that he felt somewhat nervous.

"I didn't expect the wild beasts in this world to be so formidable."

Gu Yuan sat casually somewhere and glanced at the so-called ferocious beast.

It had tiger-like hide, horns on its head, an elephant-like body, and no tail. It was probably a carnivore.

Sure enough, the vast world was full of wonders.

Lin Hao gripped the sword in his hand tightly, his gaze fixed on his opponent.

The instant the longsword collided with the horns, a crisp clang echoed through the cramped space.

Lin Hao could feel the hand holding his sword go numb.

[Big brother is so handsome!]

[I'm literally licking the screen!]

[So handsome! Lin Hao is definitely the hottest male lead among all ten livestreams!]

[Go, big brother! Cut that ferocious beast down with one slash!]

At some point, Lin Hao had gained a number of looks-based fans in the comments, and at this critical moment, they were all cheering him on.

Well, that strike just now really had been pretty cool.

Within the cramped space.

Lin Hao fought the ferocious beast alone, and he felt as though his hand was about to stop belonging to him.

It was truly tough!

He should have asked the elders for a better sword. Wielding such an ordinary weapon severely limited his performance.

After quite a while.

For some reason, the ferocious beast actually became distracted.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Hao slashed his sword across its most vulnerable abdomen.

Rip~

Then he sheathed his sword.

That series of movements could only be described as exceptionally smooth, yet he could not shake the feeling that he had won a little too easily.

Soon, his attention was drawn to a strange blade of grass.

With a ferocious beast guarding it, it was certainly no ordinary item. Unfortunately, he did not recognize it and could only put it into his backpack.

The Mystic Realm would only remain open for a limited time, so Lin Hao naturally could not stay here for long.

Over the next stretch of the journey.

The production crew arranged three more acquisitions of unknown treasures that appeared dangerous, as well as two ferocious beasts attacking intruders.

This allowed Lin Hao to truly experience what it meant for danger and opportunity to coexist.

"Chief production crew: Attention, all units. Attention, all units. The ten protagonists are about to meet. All actors on site, maintain scene control. Proceed according to the script and avoid accidents as much as possible."

The ten protagonists were meeting!

This was a major test for the production crew.

It was also an extremely entertaining segment.

Of course, the most excited ones were the viewers!

All ten were protagonists. What kind of sparks would they create? Just thinking about it was exhilarating.

In an instant, the livestream comments flooded the screen.

"Come~ come~ chosen ones~"

After the production crew gave the order, everyone within the Mystic Realm heard a call from its depths.

The voice drifted from far to near, then near to far, sometimes vague and sometimes clear, seemingly carrying the weight of ages.

A place of inheritance?

Those four words appeared in the minds of all ten protagonists.

Even before entering the Mystic Realm, they had been given two tasks. One was to gather heavenly treasures, while the other was to obtain the so-called inheritance.

The former was for the sect's resource allocation, while the latter was to improve their own strength.

Without hesitation, they all headed toward the source of the voice.

At first, the passage was extremely narrow, only allowing one person through. After walking several dozen steps, it suddenly opened up.

Only after Lin Hao emerged from the narrow passage did he understand what the core of a Mystic Realm truly was.

There were actually mountains here, mist, majestic halls, and all kinds of vegetation.

Even the ceiling emitted light.

This was completely different from the environment he had been in before.

The true core of the Mystic Realm!

So this was the real Mystic Realm!

The scenery was no less impressive than any scenic area outside. It was truly wondrous.

Lin Hao shifted his gaze and noticed several people standing at the entrances of the other passages.

Their clothing differed from that of the Azure Mountain Sect. Some wore proud and confident expressions; they were likely the prodigies of the other four great sects.

He wondered what cultivation level the prodigies of the other sects had reached.

As Lin Hao carefully observed the others, they carefully observed him as well.

Without question, this was their first time leaving their sects, and they all appeared especially cautious.
