The First Secret Realm Expedition Ends with Bountiful Rewards!

Xu Li and Li Yongxin also noticed the spear in Su Yuan's hand.

With their experience, a single glance told them that it was no ordinary weapon.

However, they did not deliberately ask Su Yuan about it. They were not familiar with him, and a mere First-Tier weapon was beneath their notice.

"Found it."

Su Yuan swung the Sonic Gun around and grinned.

"Found it?"

"That spear should be High First Tier, right?"

Fang Yan silently thought that Su Yuan was lucky. Then his gaze shifted, and he noticed the beast blood staining Su Yuan's body.

"Su Yuan, did any exotic beasts above the First Realm attack you?"

"There seem to be quite a few exotic beasts below the First Realm around here. You should have killed several, right?"

Ever since joining the Qianshan Class, Fang Yan seemed to have started talking more to Su Yuan.

Su Yuan shook his head. "I only moved around within three hundred meters of this area."

"I seem to have been pretty lucky. I didn't encounter any exotic beasts above the First Realm along the way."

"Several exotic beasts with Blood Qi Values close to 90 did attack me, though. I only took them down after a tough fight."

Pei Xuan watched Su Yuan recount his experience from the side, unable to stop himself from grumbling inwardly.

The Void Spirit Cat, the Redwater Crocodile, the Darkscale Lizard, even the Green Nether Snake, the overlord of No. 39 Secret Realm.

You had nearly cleared out half the exotic beasts within five miles by yourself, and you called that good luck?

At the same time, Pei Xuan was utterly shocked. At first sight of Su Yuan, he had nearly stumbled and fallen.

What kind of joke was this? Pei Xuan had already sensed the murderous aura around Su Yuan from over a hundred meters away.

He was an expert at hunting exotic beasts and was exceptionally sensitive to this kind of aura.

His preliminary judgment was that Su Yuan had killed at least eighteen exotic beasts, each with a Blood Qi Value above 110. Even the nearby Green Nether Snake had likely been dealt with by Su Yuan.

Absurd. Utterly absurd.

Was this what a genius who had passed the Second Dormancy Period was like?

Pei Xuan concluded that Su Yuan had already passed his second Heart Cultivation Dormancy Period, raising both his strength and potential once more.

Otherwise, he could not possibly have killed so many exotic beasts.

It seemed Su Yuan's ranking needed to be raised again.

As for Su Yuan's spear, it was highly likely that he had indeed found it, just as he claimed.

One could encounter anything inside a Secret Realm. It was purely a matter of luck.

Pei Xuan said nothing as he went through this string of thoughts.

Suddenly, Pei Xuan walked up to Su Yuan and patted him on the shoulder.

"Su Yuan, that spear of yours is pretty good."

After saying that, he offered no further explanation, leaving Su Yuan and the others somewhat baffled.

Only after doing this did Pei Xuan finally feel at ease.

He had just erased every trace of exotic beast aura from Su Yuan's body. Otherwise, the moment they met up with Huang Yi'an and the other teachers, they would surely notice something was off.

"It's getting late. It's almost midnight."

"Let's leave the Secret Realm first."

Pei Xuan led Su Yuan and the other four toward the Secret Realm exit.

Three minutes later, Su Yuan walked out of No. 39 Secret Realm.

He looked back at the Secret Realm entrance, anticipation rising in his eyes.

He would come again tomorrow!

The Sonic Gun. The Thunder-Silk Flower.

His first trip into No. 39 Secret Realm had yielded bountiful rewards.

The moment he emerged, Su Yuan saw the three teachers, including Wang Zheng, as well as Ye Ling, Chu Tianche, and the others.

Other than Ye Ling, everyone looked utterly exhausted and bore injuries to varying degrees. If they had not been supporting one another, they probably could not even stand steadily.

He glanced sideways at Fang Yan. Fang Yan was in no better condition; the blazing sun inside the Secret Realm had concealed it earlier.

Now that they had left the Secret Realm, his exhaustion was fully exposed in the darkness.

Ever since Su Yuan had first seen them, Xu Li and Li Yongxin had not separated, supporting each other all the while.

Only Su Yuan and Ye Ling had bright, lively eyes and boundless energy.

"You've all worked hard. Drink an Intermediate Recovery Potion."

Ten bottles of Intermediate Recovery Potion appeared in Huang Yi'an's hand, and he distributed them to Ye Ling, Su Yuan, and the others.

"Teacher Huang, I don't need one."

"Teacher Huang, neither do I."

Su Yuan spoke right after Ye Ling.

At that moment, everyone looked at Su Yuan. When they saw that he showed no trace of exhaustion, their eyes filled with confusion.

What was going on?

Had Su Yuan hidden himself after entering the Secret Realm?

Then what was with the blood on his body?

Had he smeared it on himself?

Wang Zheng and the other two teachers remained silent.

Apart from Leng Xin and Fang Yan, the others wanted to speak but did not have the strength.

Inside the Secret Realm, they had to remain on high alert at all times to guard against sneak attacks from exotic beasts. It had taken an enormous toll on both body and mind.

Ye Ling gave Su Yuan a deep look. He was well-informed, and among the many bloodstains on Su Yuan, he recognized the blood of a Void Spirit Cat.

Void Spirit Cat blood was green. Since Su Yuan had killed too many exotic beasts afterward, the green had been well concealed.

Yet Ye Ling had still spotted it.

After looking Su Yuan over once more, Ye Ling withdrew his gaze.

It was only a Void Spirit Cat. He could blow one apart with a single punch. There was nothing worth paying attention to.

Although he did not know what exotic beasts the other mixed bloodstains on Su Yuan came from, Ye Ling had no interest in finding out.

"Su Yuan, are you sure you don't need to drink an Intermediate Recovery Potion?"

Huang Yi'an asked perfunctorily with an expressionless face.

"No, thank you, Teacher Huang."

Su Yuan replied.

He was not being arrogant. He truly had no need for an Intermediate Recovery Potion; the stuff was completely useless to him.

His battle with the Green Nether Snake had consumed some strength, but afterward he had been instantly killing exotic beasts without expending much effort. The strength he had used up had long since recovered.

"Fine."

Huang Yi'an nodded and continued handing out the Intermediate Recovery Potions to the others.

Of everyone present, only Pei Xuan understood Su Yuan's situation.

Leng Xin might have understood some of it, but not much.

"Rankings will be updated in real time based on your performance in the Secret Realm each day."

"After drinking the Intermediate Recovery Potions, get on the bus and return to Qianshan No. 1 High School."

After saying that, Pei Xuan boarded the bus alone and sat down with his eyes closed in thought.

He was considering how to reset the rankings after the first No. 39 Secret Realm expedition.

The rankings would be updated?

The ten people present caught the key point in Pei Xuan's words. Xue Jun, the Qianshan No. 1 High School student ranked sixth, gradually looked at Su Yuan with fiery eyes.

Fifth place. He had a chance!

Those were cultivation resources that could lead to becoming a Fourth-Realm Martial Artist. No one in Qianshan District could resist such temptation.

Even major Qianshan District families like the Leng Family and Chu Family would not overlook those cultivation resources.

After drinking the Intermediate Recovery Potions, Su Yuan and the others boarded the bus. Wang Zheng drove them back to Qianshan No. 1 High School.

By the time everyone returned to Qianshan No. 1 High School, it was already 12:12 a.m.

After parking the bus outside the school gates, Pei Xuan said to Su Yuan and the others,

"Go home."

"Today's—no, yesterday's—classes are now over."

"Be at the basement before seven o'clock this morning."

At that, everyone silently got off the bus.

Su Yuan walked home alone. As for the others—

Some were picked up in luxury cars, some went home with elders after receiving a round of concern, and some left in pairs.

Only Su Yuan left by himself.

After returning home, Su Yuan sat cross-legged on the sofa with his eyes tightly shut and began reviewing everything he had learned yesterday.

Two minutes later, Su Yuan opened his eyes, and the method of cultivating Thunderbolt Cleave emerged in his mind.

"Thunderbolt Cleave. It's time to start cultivating it."

"I need to broaden my arsenal."

Suddenly, excitement seemed to flash through Su Yuan's eyes.

"Tomorrow, my Blood Qi Value will break through 100!"

"First-Realm Martial Artist certification, here I come!"
