So Many Geniuses Had Failed, but That Didn't Mean He Would Too

Another night has passed.

That night, the panic throughout the secret realm subsided.

As the leading prodigies each established new cities, more and more places became available to provide shelter for everyone.

Similarly, humans are also highly adaptable beings.

After three nights of rigorous training, many people have gained considerable experience in how to leverage the advantages of the night to accumulate brilliance.

Furthermore, many people realized that when fighting at night, even if they had the energy, they could not stay outside for too long at a time.

Otherwise, it's easy to become too impulsive, or even lose your mind and kill.

As for the consequences, unless there are companions, the consequences are usually not good.

For most people, the morning is a better time to rest and recuperate.

As for exploration, though I'm reluctant to admit it, once you start down one step, you start down the next.

Many places have already been explored by those powerful forces, so there's no way to expect any major discoveries.

At most, it's all about luck; hopefully, you'll find something.

Of course, it wasn't entirely fruitless.

There were also rumors that someone accidentally found a storage ring next to a pile of bones, which contained hundreds of Origin Spirit Stones.

This news caused quite a stir.

However, I later heard that the person disappeared without a trace after telling others about it.

Having learned their lesson, everyone is now very cautious, but we haven't heard of any major gains yet.

Within this secret realm, on this grand stage, the final performances and the ones that attract the most attention are only the prodigies of those powerful forces.

"It's not quite what I expected before I came. People at our level receive pretty good treatment. Luckily, I took a gamble and got in, otherwise I would have really missed out."

"Yes, now we not only have places to rest, but we also don't have to worry about danger while staying in the city. This is much better than the expected backstabbing and intrigue." Another person nodded in agreement.

Someone nearby glanced at the two of them without saying a word, but their face showed a hint of sympathy.

"They don't even consider the cost of being here. Every night they work hard hunting monsters, and after deducting the spiritual energy they spend, how much is left? The people in the city are all working for the city's occupants. Every one who dies is one less person to lose, so of course they'll ensure the city's stability."

The boy silently thought to himself, but in the end, a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.

Even if you know, what good will it do? Go out and develop on your own? The risks are too high. Rise up and fight back? You simply can't win.

There was no choice.

Similar situations have occurred in various cities.

And this is merely dissatisfaction.

However, in some other cities, the amount of spiritual energy collected increased further with each new day.

Those who previously obtained entry qualifications at a low price now need to make up for it as well.

Under such provocation, dissatisfaction quickly turned into conflict, until it finally erupted.

Conflicts broke out in several cities.

The failures resulted in heavy losses.

In places of success, those who hadn't had time to escape from the city of Champa became intermediaries in the accumulation of inspiration.

In successful cities, models that offer extremely low prices or even free services have emerged.

"I just don't know how long this situation can last."

Based on experience, this situation will obviously not last long.

Unless their situation is the same as his Hidden Origin Peak, they didn't come here for the sake of gaining glory at all.

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi put away the communication stone.

Although he hardly made any movements except for his External Avatar.

However, this did not prevent him from keeping track of some of the movements within the secret realm.

Before entering the secret realm, Cang Wenyu knew of Lu Changzhi's habit of seeking out new things, so he specially arranged for someone to help organize some interesting information.

Once he wakes up, he can use the communication stone to ask the other party a question and listen to their detailed account.

It's quite convenient.

At this moment, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted slightly.

"Have we finally set off?"

At that moment, Lu Changzhi turned his attention to his External Avatar.

Not far from the cave, Liu Qingyan took Qin Han's arm, and the two began to walk in one direction.

"Elder Hua, which direction should we go?"

After walking for a moment, Qin Han asked telepathically.

Hua Yunfan sensed his surroundings and then said:

"There's a group of three people to your right. Go ask them. You've been in the cave for over a day; you're almost out of touch with the secret realm."

Upon hearing this, Qin Han smiled inwardly.

Young people recover quickly; a little bit of relief isn't enough.

However, it's not too late to set off now.

"Oh, right." Hua Yunfan remembered something and reminded him:

"Have this girl cover up her figure and face to avoid causing any trouble."

"Don't worry, Elder Hua."

Qin Han did not follow, but said:

"If anyone harbors ill intentions and tries to cause me trouble, I certainly won't stand idly by. I hope they have the sense to back down."

Hua Yunfan fell silent for a moment.

Forget it, I won't try to persuade you anymore.

I really need to change. I always subconsciously forget things, and Qin Han is someone you can't persuade.

That makes sense, though. Perhaps the Qin Clan patriarch is still secretly protecting them, so there's really nothing to be afraid of.

Soon, a group of three teenagers came into view.

Upon seeing Qin Han, the three of them appeared slightly wary, while Qin Han himself seemed much more composed.

"Do the three of you know what has recently happened in the secret realm?"

Qin Han asked aloud.

The atmosphere of the conversation was harmonious, and we talked about some things.

One of them briefly mentioned one place, saying it was a pity that probably no one would be able to get it.

Qin Han's eyes flickered slightly:

Could you elaborate?

"You don't have any plans, do you? It's better not to have any ideas. It's a waste of time and effort, and you'll probably end up empty-handed."

The other person next to him nodded in agreement.

"Exactly, it's not just us. I heard that even the top geniuses from those major powers failed and ultimately decided not to waste their time on it. I reckon unless someone is destined to be even more powerful than those top geniuses, it's simply impossible."

"But how could someone like that exist?"

It would have been better if he hadn't listened. But once he did, Qin Han immediately perked up and took out some decent-quality recovery pills, urging the other party to speak.

"Since you're so interested, I'll tell you about it."

After taking the pill, the other party pointed out a direction and the approximate distance to Qin Han, and introduced some general information, including which geniuses had reportedly failed.

Finally, after thinking for a moment, he looked sincerely at Qin Han:

"Really, I think you shouldn't waste your energy on this. We're just ordinary people; this kind of thing is impossible."

Qin Han neither confirmed nor denied this, but instead asked:

"Has Jiang Yun, a top prodigy from the Extreme Arms Holy Land, ever tried it?"

"I don't know then." The man thought for a moment, then shook his head.

Qin Han's heart stirred slightly.

Since the other person hasn't gone yet, I should go there myself; perhaps I'll be able to run into them.

Moreover, the fact that so many exceptional talents failed there speaks volumes about its extraordinary nature.

Although the prodigies all failed, that doesn't mean I will fail too. What if that place exists specifically for me?

Qin Han didn't say anything more, and led Liu Qingyan in the direction the others had indicated.

After Qin Han had walked far enough...

The illusion array dissipated, and the three figures vanished.

Elsewhere, Lu Changzhi withdrew his consciousness from his External Avatar, gazing at Qin Han's moving lines, and gently shook his head:

"Could this kid be planning something with Jiang Yun too?"

"I hope not. Living well and seeking opportunities is the right path."

Judging from Liu Qingyan's situation, if Qin Han has any plans, they are unlikely to be anything legitimate.

For most people, it wouldn't be a problem.

But Jiang Yun is a disciple of the Five Symbols Sect.

He couldn't think of a better way to describe his ill intentions towards her than to seek death.

At this moment, the system issued a notification.

Qin Han's opportunity related to the Sword Heart has reappeared.

"It really works."

Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi looked ahead.

Now that Qin Han has gotten the hang of things, it's time for me to get to work too.
