No. 39 Secret Realm

Everyone looked toward the source of the voice.

Su Yuan wore a fearless expression. He had been the one to say that just now.

"Su Yuan, do you know how dangerous No. 39 Secret Realm is?"

Lin Jie leaned close to Su Yuan's ear, worry written across his face.

"I know."

How could Su Yuan not know? The original Su Yuan's parents had died in No. 37 Secret Realm.

No. 39 Secret Realm was two difficulty tiers below No. 37 Secret Realm, making it one of the least dangerous Secret Realms.

Under normal circumstances, an Early First-Realm Martial Artist could enter No. 39 Secret Realm to explore.

However.

If someone entered alone without experience, the Xia Nation Secret Realm Organization had recorded a mortality rate as high as eighty percent.

Even the easiest Secret Realm was like this. One could only imagine the difficulty of the ones before it.

Great risks came with great rewards.

The Secret Realm was filled with all kinds of natural traps and mutated beasts.

At times, they even had to guard against their own companions, scheming against one another.

"Since you know, why did you agree?"

"My dad said I should wait until my sophomore year before entering a Secret Realm. It's still too early now."

Lin Jie seemed to know more about Secret Realms than Su Yuan did. He still felt that it was not the right time to enter one.

"I agree to enter No. 39 Secret Realm too."

"Me too."

Suddenly, two more voices voiced their agreement.

Chu Tianche and Leng Xin spoke one after the other.

"I've wanted to explore a Secret Realm for a long time. I agree too."

"If we run into trouble in the Secret Realm, remember to help each other."

Ding Kun smiled kindly at the students around him.

"Alright, five students have already agreed to enter No. 39 Secret Realm."

Pei Xuan looked at the students with a broad smile.

"This is utter nonsense!"

Wang Zheng seemed unable to watch any longer and snapped at Pei Xuan.

"Well, since everyone agrees, I agree too."

Fang Yan glanced at Leng Xin and spoke timidly.

"That's six already, more than half."

Ignoring Wang Zheng's words, Pei Xuan grinned.

"Then it's settled. In twenty minutes, we will head to No. 39 Secret Realm in Qianshan District."

"The three teachers, please adjust your condition."

With Pei Xuan's words, the matter was settled.

"If even one student dies after entering the Secret Realm, I, Pei Xuan, will sever an arm to atone."

"On top of that, I will pay out my entire fortune in compensation."

Huang Yi'an heard this, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. No one knew what he was thinking.

Wang Zheng and Zhao Xinxuan were helpless. Pei Xuan's attitude was overwhelmingly firm, leaving no room for discussion. They could only go along with him.

Since Pei Xuan had proposed entering No. 39 Secret Realm, Vice Principal Zhou Yang must have already known.

So be it. They would take the students into No. 39 Secret Realm and let them witness the Secret Realm's cruelty ahead of time.

"Ye Ling, Chu Tianche, Leng Xin, Ding Kun, Su Yuan..."

"You ten, get ready."

"The remaining twenty Qianshan Class students, today's lesson is over. Leave immediately."

When the other students heard Pei Xuan's words, they felt both disappointed and relieved.

"Su Yuan, stay safe."

"Su Yuan, be extremely careful of the mutated beasts in the Secret Realm. Those things are incredibly vicious."

Li Xingyu and Lin Jie patted Su Yuan on the shoulder. Since Su Yuan had chosen to enter the Secret Realm, they could only pray that he returned safely.

"Understood."

Su Yuan nodded solemnly, while his heart brimmed with anticipation.

He had actually been given a chance to enter a Secret Realm early. He had to seize it.

Ten seconds later, the remaining twenty Qianshan Class students had all left.

"After entering the Secret Realm, we will not provide you with any protective measures. Other than your phones, you cannot bring anything with you."

"The four of us teachers will follow from a great distance behind you and will not interfere with your exploration."

"Unless you face a life-threatening crisis, we will not act."

After Pei Xuan finished speaking, Su Yuan understood that once they entered the Secret Realm, they would be completely on their own.

Everything depended solely on themselves.

"Su Yuan, no problem, right?"

Fang Yan came to Su Yuan's side. In his eyes, although Su Yuan ranked fifth, his strength was the lowest among the ten.

Despite having a punching force of 699 kg, Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value was still too low.

"There shouldn't be any problem. As long as I don't encounter overly powerful mutated beasts, I can probably handle them."

Ye Ling, Chu Tianche, and the others glanced at Su Yuan, wondering where he found the courage to say such a thing.

To roam freely in No. 39 Secret Realm, one needed an average Blood Qi Value of around one hundred and forty, making one a First-Realm Mid-Stage Martial Artist.

But when they thought of the ruthlessness in Su Yuan, if his luck was good enough, he might be able to avoid most dangers.

"After entering the Secret Realm, you will be assigned to different directions. I have trackers here, so remember to keep them on you."

"At most, it will take us ten seconds to find your location and follow behind you."

As he spoke, Pei Xuan flicked his hand and took out ten trackers, handing one to each of Su Yuan and the others.

Then Su Yuan and the others retrieved their phones from a nearby cabinet.

"Time's almost up. Come with us."

Immediately afterward, Pei Xuan, Wang Zheng, and the other teachers led Su Yuan and the ten students out of the basement and toward Qianshan No. 1 High School.

A minute later, Wang Zheng somehow drove over in a bus and stopped in front of Pei Xuan and the others.

"We'll take the bus to the northwestern outskirts of Qianshan District. The entrance to No. 39 Secret Realm is there."

Pei Xuan explained to Su Yuan and the others.

There were fourteen people in the group. Wang Zheng drove the bus toward the outskirts of Qianshan District.

Twenty minutes later, the bus stopped in an outskirt area filled with lush trees.

It was already close to ten o'clock, yet the evening classes had not even begun.

No one knew when the Secret Realm exploration would end. The day's schedule was exceptionally packed.

At seven tomorrow morning, a new day of classes would begin again.

"We're here."

"Everyone, get off."

Pei Xuan looked out the window from inside the bus. Though surrounded by darkness, his eyes remained bright.

After Su Yuan and the other thirteen got off, Wang Zheng simply left the bus parked there.

This was a bus from Qianshan No. 1 High School. In Qianshan District, few people dared to steal it.

"Let's go. Follow me."

Pei Xuan walked alone at the very front, while Wang Zheng brought up the rear.

After only a few steps, Su Yuan saw a white-glowing ring of light more than ten meters ahead.

The inside of the ring was chaos, and it was impossible to see what lay within.

"This is the entrance to No. 39 Secret Realm."

"Have you all prepared yourselves mentally?"

Pei Xuan turned around, his eyes sweeping over Su Yuan and the other ten one by one.

"Teacher Pei, we've long been mentally prepared."

"Teacher Pei, enough talk. Let's all go in."

"I can't wait to enter No. 39 Secret Realm."

Seeing this, Pei Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Martial Artists needed fearless hearts.

"Then, enter No. 39 Secret Realm!"

As soon as he spoke, Pei Xuan was the first to enter the ring of light.

Ye Ling quickly followed as the second, while Chu Tianche was a step slower but also entered the ring.

Wang Zheng was the last to enter the ring.

After entering the ring, Su Yuan's vision blurred. He nearly lost his footing, and the next moment, he appeared in a place beneath a blazing sun.

"It's nighttime outside, but daytime in the Secret Realm."

"With such a huge sun, it's even hotter than the highest temperatures outside."

After merely three seconds of adapting to the Secret Realm, Su Yuan judged the difference in temperature.

Suddenly.

A roar came from behind Su Yuan without warning.
