Chapter 264

The two started arguing and insulting each other downstairs, and soon they had exchanged insults hundreds of times.

This Wild Dragon's Sorrow, even challenged the other to an offline duel, but the war of words ended when both of them were banned by the administrator.

Shen Xing looked around and found that most people didn't think much of him.

This is quite normal.

After all, this time he wasn't competing with novice lords from all over the world, but with Tier Two lords from all over the world.

Lords of this rank are among the most numerous, if not the most numerous.

In addition, there are some lords who broke through to the Transcendent early on and have been stuck at this level for half a year or even several years. The foundation of their territories is beyond imagination.

He has at least 10,000 troops under his command, if not 8,000.

Fortunately, in this secret realm, each lord can only bring 5 troop types, emphasizing quality over quantity.

"Buzzing..."

My phone vibrated slightly, and a few messages flashed on the Green Bubble icon.

Shen Xing exited the forum and first glanced at the information in the three-person discussion group.

"Cilantro Who Loves to Play! Shen Xing, Jiayi, did you guys see that? Another new secret realm has opened!"

Shen Xing was speechless. "We're not blind, how could we not see such a big system notification?"

"No, that's not the point!" Qin Lang said excitedly, "The point is, we might very well encounter them in the Lotus Pond Secret Realm this time!"

Shen Xing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but then realized it as well.

Yes, Qin Lang and Xu Jiayi are both Tier Two Transcendent Rank lords.

According to the rules of the secret realm, once they enter, they will be assigned to the same map as 99 other lords of the same rank.

Then 90% of the people are eliminated, and the remaining 10% enter the second level.

How many Transcendent Rank lords are there globally?

I'm afraid at most it'd be two or three hundred thousand, right?

In other words, if they can hold out for three or four floors, only a few hundred people will remain.

This is similar to a funnel pattern, where the number of people decreases as they go further down the funnel, increasing the probability of them being grouped together.

Qin Lang exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, we're finally going to meet in the game! Shen Xing, you have to carry us to new heights!"

Shen Xing remained calm. "Don't get too excited. It's not certain whether we'll encounter them inside. Besides, there are many experts among the Transcendent Rank lords, and quite a few of them have Expert Rank troops under their command."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang gradually regained his composure. "That's true. To be able to persist to the second level already surpasses 90% of the lords. With our limited resources, we simply can't compare."

He paused, then continued, "What about Jiayi? Are you confident she can get to the second floor?"

I Eat Eat Eat Eat, "I'll try my best. I only have one Expert Rank unit under my command, which is a huge disadvantage compared to those veteran Transcendent Rank lords."

"Let's keep going, and see if we can run into each other."

Chapter 178: Hellscream's Confusion, Breakthrough to the Tier Three!

The three discussed for a few more moments, then turned off their phones and went to make final preparations for the secret realm.

Shen Xing glanced at the message list and saw that, in addition to Qin Lang and the others, Xia Wanyin Yu Feifei had also sent messages.

Take Her Eyes With You, she said, "Shen Xing, keep it up! My Xiao Guang has already broken through to the Tier Three; let's try to get into the second level."

Shen Xing smiled and replied with a few cheering emojis.

Then I opened Yu Feifei's message.

She and Her Cat: "Don't attack me if we encounter something in the secret realm."

Shen Xing chuckled and replied, "Alright, I've met the first one I'll deal with."

She and Her Cat: "Heh, I was just being modest, and you're already taking advantage of my kindness! It's still uncertain who will hit whom! If I ever run into you, I'll make sure you taste my whip!"

Shen Xing replied with an emoji, indicating that she would wait and see.

Then, he turned off his phone, lost in thought.

"There are Epic gems on the fifth floor, let's try our best to get them."

"The quality of my troops is quite high; I can easily find five top-tier generals."

"It's a pity that Onyxia is currently the only Tier Three Expert Rank powerhouse in the territory."

Thinking of this, Shen Xing sighed with a hint of regret.

This is also one of the drawbacks of his short development period; the foundation of his territory is still somewhat lacking.

"Speaking of which, I've had those three advanced materials on consignment for a week now, and they still haven't been successfully matched."

"Is it because I need too few materials?"

Just as Shen Xing was pondering to himself, the familiar doorbell rang in his ears.

"Ding-dong!"

The security camera at the main gate showed a young man in a delivery uniform with a sunny smile standing outside the gate.

The young man smiled and said to the monitor, "Mr. Shen Xing, the goods you recently purchased have arrived, and three other materials have also been successfully matched. Please sign for them."

"These are my identification documents and order records."

He seemed worried that Shen Xing might misunderstand, so he proactively showed her his identification and phone information.

Shen Xing smiled, knowing that since the last internal mole incident, the Anomaly Handling Bureau had probably conducted a comprehensive screening of its members.

Then he opened the gate and went outside into the yard.

The young man took a large black box off his electric scooter and solemnly said, "Mr. Shen Xing, all the goods you purchased are inside. The password has been sent to your mobile phone."

"By the way, Manager Ding asked me to pass on a message to you: because the 'Advanced Flame Mage Handbook' is quite popular, it took a few days to deliver it to you. Please forgive the delay."

Shen Xing smiled and nodded, "I understand."

It's okay if it's a few days late, as long as the match was successful and it came at just the right time.

In this way, I can help Leina officially break through to the Tier Three before entering the secret realm.

"Thank you for your understanding. Please sign here." The young man handed him the large box.

Shen Xing quickly signed the papers, then picked up the box, turned around, went home, and closed the door.

Then I placed the box on the coffee table and eagerly entered the password.

"Beep! Password successful!"

With a "click," the lid slowly opened, and colorful lights burst forth from the gap.

As soon as the light faded, Shen Xing immediately peeked out.

At this moment, the box was filled with various materials, such as Hell Adamantite and Dark Steel, totaling several thousand portions.

On top of these materials, two hundred black scrolls and five thick, black logs were neatly stacked.

In addition, there were three other advanced materials of different shapes that emitted a faint glow.

"Very good, 25 sets of Hell War Chariot materials, 200 Black Moon Knight Scroll, and everything else have been delivered."

"It was worth the wait; now we can finally get a significant boost."

Shen Xing was satisfied and turned his gaze to the three most important materials.

They are: a deep red book, a curved fang, and a jet-black skull.

"Besides the 'Flame Mage Handbook' for fire mages, the other two items should be the 'Ancestor's Fang' for orcs and the 'Ancient Skull' for skeleton units."

"That means, besides Leina, we also have the upgrade materials for Hellscream and Black Arrow!"

Shen Xing was immediately overjoyed.

Of these three generals, Leina and Hellscream have already reached the maximum level of 19, while Black Arrow is currently only at level 14.

In this way, he can have two more Tier Three experts before the secret realm begins!

"However, I currently have a limited number of items I can teleport per day, so I definitely can't teleport all these things in at once."

"In that case, let's move the advancement materials and Black Spirit Wood first; the rest can wait."

Shen Xing quickly made a decision and then began the teleportation process.

"Whoosh..."

Thick fog billowed from his arm, swallowing the contents of the box one by one.

First, you need 3 advanced materials, then 5 pieces of Black Spirit Wood.

After completing the task, Shen Xing found himself still full of energy, showing no signs of fatigue.

So the transmission continued.

More dense fog erupted, engulfing a large amount of material at the bottom of the box.

After transferring nearly 10 sets of Hell War Chariot materials, I felt a throbbing sensation in my brain.

Shen Xing knew he had almost reached his limit, so he quickly stopped.

"It's alright, a bit more than I expected."

"The remaining materials and scrolls should be transported within two days at most."

He nodded in satisfaction, then closed the box and shut his eyes.

The Mist Reincarnation, activated!

"Buzz—"

Orange flames filled the entire field of vision, with arrow towers standing all around.

Gazing at the roaring Bonfire before him, Shen Xing immediately opened the building interface and began upgrading.

[Consume the following materials: Soul Stone *5000, Vinar Silver Coin *5000, Black Spirit Wood *5, to upgrade the Great Bonfire to level 5?]

"Yes."

As he clicked "OK", the five thick, black objects disappeared.

The Bonfire in front of them was enveloped by a huge ball of light, and its base began to rapidly reassemble.

[Upgrading in progress, estimated time: 56 hours and 12 minutes...]

"It'll take two and a half days? That's a really long upgrade time."

Shen Xing sighed softly, "But it's alright, the territory currently has enough space, there's no rush to expand."

Then, he took out the communication crystal. "Hellscream, Leina, come to the center of the territory to find me."

"I have been here, my lord."
