With Me Here, Not Even a Fly Can Get In

"Yu, isn't your talent a little too overpowered? What kind of talent awakening comes with such a powerful magical beast?"

Ji Xuejun was so jealous she could barely stand it. What kind of godly talent was this? She had an SSS-grade talent herself, yet compared to Lin Yu's, both its versatility and offensive power were utterly crushed.

Ji Xuejun had once been quite satisfied with her own talent, but after comparing it to Lin Yu's, she found herself disliking it no matter how she looked at it.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Lin Yu gave an awkward laugh. The Rinnegan was amazing, but the truly incredible thing was the system.

Everything—the Rinnegan, Wood Release, Kamui, Monkey Demon—had been brought to him by the system. Without it, he might have been no different from everyone else.

Sometimes, Lin Yu even felt that if gods truly existed in this world, then his system was a real god.

"Sister Xuejun, Sikong Luohe has already run away. Should we head out now?"

"Mm. Let me recover first. I don't know whether the barrier at the entrance has disappeared yet. If it hasn't, going out rashly could be dangerous."

"Alright! Oh, right, Sister Xuejun, this is for you!"

Lin Yu took out the Intermediate Spirit Recovery Pill the old principal had awarded him and handed it to Ji Xuejun. As for the Soldier Rations Pill, he did not take it out.

First, the basic Soldier Rations Pill was only suitable for people below the fourth rank to recover spiritual power and stamina. Ji Xuejun was now at the seventh rank, so its effects would not be that strong.

Besides, if he took it out, Lin Yu would not know how to explain it. Since that was the case, he might as well keep it for himself.

"This is a Spirit Recovery Pill? How do you have something like this? Keep it for emergencies. I can recover on my own!"

"The principal gave it to me as a reward. Take it. It's not much use to me anyway. I have Wood Release, so I recover quickly. I don't need this stuff!"

Lin Yu shrugged indifferently. This thing really was a bit useless to him. He might as well give it away as a favor; besides, he had gotten it for free.

Since Lin Yu had put it that way, Ji Xuejun did not stand on ceremony. She took the Spirit Recovery Pill from him and tossed it into her mouth.

"Once your college entrance exams are over, I'll reward you with something better in the arena's name. I definitely won't let you lose out."

"Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? What, someone has a problem with me rewarding the top scorer on the college entrance exams? If anyone can surpass you, I'll give them an identical reward too. But I don't think that's possible!"

Ji Xuejun spoke carelessly. As the person in charge of Banyan City Arena, wasn't it entirely up to her how she handed out rewards?

Neither of them realized that the college entrance exams were still nowhere in sight, yet they had already taken it for granted that the top scorer's title was theirs.

Then again, with Lin Yu's current strength, taking the so-called college entrance exams would be a dimensionality-reduction strike against the other examinees. If he could not take first place, all those powerful abilities of his would have been wasted.

After a while, with the help of the Spirit Recovery Pill, Ji Xuejun finally recovered all her spiritual power. Apart from being in somewhat poor mental condition, she had regained her seventh-rank strength.

"Alright! I'll go check first. Wait here, and don't get too close. I'm worried something might happen! After all, we don't know what kind of barrier Sikong Luohe set up!"

"Okay! I'll wait here. Oh, right, Sister Xuejun, do we not need to worry about Brother Wang and the others?"

"No need. We have no way to notify them right now anyway. My signal flare was destroyed by the aftermath of the battle earlier. Besides, there's nothing dangerous in here now. We can find them later!"

"Mm! Alright, then hurry and check the secret realm entrance!"

"Mm!"

After saying that, Ji Xuejun flashed to the vortex at the secret realm's entrance.

Then she closed her eyes and repeatedly sensed the condition of the vortex.

After a while, Ji Xuejun opened her eyes and beckoned to Lin Yu.

"Come over!"

When Lin Yu saw Ji Xuejun calling for him, he quickly ran over.

"Sister Xuejun, how is it?"

"It should be fine. I carefully checked just now and didn't find any trace of a barrier. Sikong Luohe may have destroyed it when he escaped."

"Still, to be safe, I'll go in first. Come over after one minute."

"Alright!"

Lin Yu nodded and quietly waited to the side.

Ji Xuejun summoned the Azure Dragon Heaven-Piercing Halberd and stepped into the vortex. The next second, she appeared directly outside the secret realm.

Before Ji Xuejun could inspect her surroundings, a voice rang out by her ear.

"Boss, you're out! How's the situation inside?"

Ji Xuejun looked up, then froze for a moment. Looking at the dense crowd in front of her, she asked in confusion, "What are you all doing? Why has everyone gathered here?"

"Boss, here's what happened. A streak of black light suddenly shot out of the secret realm earlier. Some of the brothers on duty nearby were accidentally injured by that unknown black light. We were worried something had happened inside the secret realm, so we were gathering the brothers to go in and support you. Then you came out."

The speaker was Song Zhixu, the head of security who had shot down the exploding fireball in Hall Three of Banyan City Arena and saved many spectators.

"Everything inside is fine now. How are the brothers who got injured?"

"They're fine, just minor injuries. They were only brushed by the edge of that black light. Nothing serious!"

"Good. Oh, right, have the brothers go in later and send a message to Wang Defa and the others. We got separated inside earlier!"

"Understood, Boss."

Just as Song Zhixu finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the vortex, and Lin Yu walked out.

"Oh, Little Brother Lin Yu is out too!"

"And you are?"

Lin Yu looked up at Song Zhixu and asked in confusion.

"My name is Song Zhixu. I'm the captain of security at Banyan City Arena. Do you remember me from Hall Three?"

"Hall Three?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized. He blurted out, "You're that timely rain with the bow and arrows?"

"Timely rain?"

Song Zhixu stared at Lin Yu with a face full of dark lines. Lin Yu instantly realized his mistake and said apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, Brother Song. Brother Wang shouted it so loudly at the arena last time that I got led astray."

Lin Yu decisively shifted the blame onto Wang Defa. After all, Wang Defa had been the one to shout it first. It was not Lin Yu's fault.

"That damned Old Wang!"

Seeing the fierce glint in Song Zhixu's eyes, Lin Yu shrugged. Brother Wang, good luck to you.

"Alright, Yu, let's go first. Old Song, guard the secret realm well. The problem inside hasn't been completely resolved yet, so don't open the secret realm for the next few days. Don't let anyone enter. As for when it will reopen, wait for my word!"

"Got it, Boss. Don't worry! With me here, I guarantee not even a fly will get in!"

Song Zhixu thumped his chest as he gave Ji Xuejun his assurance.

Lin Yu looked at Song Zhixu with a strange expression. He truly could not bear to tell him that someone had just entered the secret realm right under his nose, then even sealed up its entrance on the way out!
