Encountering the Secret Realm Overlord

Meanwhile, after Ye Ling entered the Secret Realm, he snapped out of his brief daze and began fighting exotic beasts as well.

His Blood Qi Value was extremely high, giving him a considerable advantage in No. 39 Secret Realm.

The exotic beasts he encountered were almost all swept aside by Ye Ling.

At six foot three, with his explosively powerful physique, he could almost take down an exotic beast in two or three punches. He was no less formidable than Su Yuan.

Chu Tianche had it somewhat harder than the other two after entering the Secret Realm. In over ten minutes, he encountered three relatively powerful exotic beasts and only managed to kill them after fierce battles.

Su Yuan, Ye Ling, and Chu Tianche seemed to have rather poor luck. They encountered many exotic beasts as soon as they entered the Secret Realm.

The other seven had yet to encounter a single exotic beast.

The danger hasn't arrived yet. I need to stay alert at all times in case I run into an exotic beast.

Xu Li wore a cautious expression as he strolled through a lush green forest.

No. 39 Secret Realm was somewhat like an endless forest.

The terrain was complex, the ground muddy, and man-made traps could occasionally be seen.

"Li Yongxin?"

As he walked, Xu Li suddenly ran into Li Yongxin.

"How about we move together?"

Xu Li immediately extended an invitation.

There was no helping it. Walking through the Secret Realm alone was simply too nerve-racking.

Even with teachers following behind them, having someone nearby still felt more reassuring.

"Sure."

Li Yongxin was uncertain as well. He nervously glanced around before immediately agreeing to Xu Li's request.

They were both students of Qianshan No. 1 High School. Pei Xuan had ranked them ninth and eighth respectively.

Even so, they still needed company to bolster their courage after entering the Secret Realm.

Over on Su Yuan's side, his steps were steady as his gaze constantly swept over his surroundings.

Exotic beasts could emerge from the grass or the water at any time.

Just moments ago, he had encountered a First-Realm crocodilian exotic beast launching a sneak attack from the water.

Fortunately, Su Yuan reacted quickly and punched the crocodilian exotic beast back into the water.

Suddenly, Su Yuan slowed slightly. He noticed extremely faint footsteps behind him.

Su Yuan pretended not to notice anything and continued deeper into the Secret Realm.

"What a fearless calf. Where did this Second High School student come from? He actually dared enter No. 39 Secret Realm alone."

"He doesn't even look like a First-Realm Martial Artist. Could he be some young master from a family in Qianshan District? The Leng Family, or the Chu Family?"

"Probably neither. What young master doesn't have bodyguards by his side?"

Three men, one fat and two thin, quietly followed behind Su Yuan.

Each of them was stained with exotic beast blood and wore vicious expressions, carrying themselves like seasoned veterans.

Su Yuan was wearing the Second High School uniform, so the three recognized his identity at a glance.

"Wait, this student is covered in exotic beast blood. He must have just gone through a fierce battle."

The leading fat man's expression suddenly changed. He sensed that something was off about Su Yuan.

"No way. There aren't any exotic beasts below the First Realm within five miles. Could this student have killed a First-Realm exotic beast?"

"Boss, you've got to be joking."

A trace of doubt flashed through the eyes of the other two thin men. They seemed unconvinced by the fat man's words.

The fat man's expression gradually turned solemn. From a great distance away, his nose suddenly twitched.

"This is... the scent of First-Realm Void Spirit Cat blood."

"And it's not the scent of just one Void Spirit Cat."

The fat man's expression changed drastically, and the way he looked at Su Yuan completely changed.

Aside from his school uniform, Su Yuan had nothing on him.

Clearly, he had taken down the First-Realm Void Spirit Cats barehanded.

Of the three men, one held a dagger, one carried a long blade, while the largest of them, the fat man, had a spear on his back that radiated a chilling aura.

"Something's wrong. Very wrong."

"This student must be extraordinary."

"We'd better not provoke him. It'll be troublesome if we end up suffering for it."

Wu Pang made a prompt decision, stopping to look at his two brothers.

The three of them had spent years wandering around No. 39 Secret Realm. Wu Pang in particular possessed an extraordinary sensitivity to danger.

Wu Pang's keen nose was also the key to how the three brothers had survived many crises.

Hearing their boss say this, the other two thin men stopped as well and did not advance any further.

Bang!

A massive tremor erupted ahead of Wu Pang and the others.

"What happened?!"

Xu Yu covered his ears as the sudden shockwave nearly ruptured his eardrums.

Zhong Sheng was no better off. His face was filled with terror as he instinctively staggered several steps back.

"Retreat!"

Wu Pang's expression changed abruptly. He quickly shielded Xu Yu and Zhong Sheng as they retreated rapidly.

They saw Su Yuan clashing with a giant python whose twin pupils glowed an eerie green. Its enormous head was hideous, and its snake eyes radiated an icy aura.

"Damn, that's the nearby exotic beast overlord, the First-Realm Mid-Stage Green Nether Snake!"

"How did this student lure it over here?!"

Wu Pang and the other two turned deathly pale and retreated again and again.

Although the three had spent years in No. 39 Secret Realm, they had no way of dealing with the overlord exotic beasts within it.

Wu Pang was a First-Realm Mid-Stage Martial Artist, but Xu Yu and Zhong Sheng were only Early First-Realm Martial Artists.

The three of them fought in a slippery, opportunistic style, and their combat strength was not high.

Even if the three of them joined forces, they would be no match for a First-Realm Mid-Stage exotic beast. They would only be routed without any ability to resist.

Moreover, they were close to forty years old, and their potential had long been exhausted.

"Run!"

With a panicked expression, Zhong Sheng turned around and prepared to pull Xu Yu and Wu Pang away.

When he tried to pull Wu Pang, Zhong Sheng could not budge him at all, as if his entire body had taken root in the ground.

"Boss, what are you..."

Before Zhong Sheng could finish speaking, he saw a scene he would never forget for the rest of his life.

A student in a Second High School uniform was trading blow for blow with a python six or seven meters long that radiated savage intent. The crackling sounds were deafening.

Su Yuan's eyes were filled with excitement. He had finally encountered an exotic beast with such a powerful aura.

Just moments ago, after walking only a few steps, he saw a python coiled ten meters ahead of him.

Before he could react, the python suddenly thrashed wildly and charged at him like mad.

That was how the current scene came to be.

Sizzle!

Thunderclap Fist struck the Green Nether Snake's gleaming scales, producing a heavy sizzling sound.

Su Yuan discovered that even the force of his Thunderclap Fist could not break through the Green Nether Snake's defenses. The rebound from its scales even made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

However, the Green Nether Snake could not do anything to Su Yuan either. It was faster than him, yet it could not even touch the corner of his clothes.

The Green Nether Snake even swung its massive tail in a surprise attack at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he easily dodged it.

The snake's tail slammed into the ground, instantly smashing a two-meter-wide crack into it as dust filled the air.

"Is that... a human?"

Zhong Sheng finally came back to his senses. Watching Su Yuan battle the Green Nether Snake, he felt his entire body turn cold and stiff.

At that moment, Su Yuan's Blood Qi Value was completely exposed. With a Blood Qi Value of 94.7, he was fighting the Green Nether Snake with all his strength.

"My god, who exactly is this student? With over ninety Blood Qi Value, he's actually evenly matched against a First-Realm Mid-Stage Green Nether Snake!"

Xu Yu's mind went blank, and he felt as if he might faint at any moment.

He had lived for nearly forty years, yet he had never seen such a shocking scene.

A student not even half their age was fighting the overlord exotic beast of No. 39 Secret Realm.

No one would believe it even if they told them.

"A genius! An unparalleled genius!"

Wu Pang's huge body trembled violently, his lips drained of color. In his eyes, there was nothing left but the sight of Su Yuan battling the Green Nether Snake.
