People are in high martial arts, the system lives in fantasy

The tremors in Hidden Dragon Land gradually subsided, but the air was still filled with a suffocating, lingering pressure.

Su Bei's body trembled slightly as he gasped for breath. The celestial sphere within his body was still spinning at high speed, repairing the meridians damaged by Seraphim's pressure.

Especially the ankles that had just been bound by Seraphim's chains of light were now trembling wildly, and almost all the genes contained there were killed in an instant, becoming completely inactive.

The light energy contained within it was now like a persistent, invasive infection, drilling into Su Bei's body. It seemed to have a consciousness, and Su Bei's golden true essence frantically tried to block and fight back, with almost a hundred times the amount of energy surging in, before it could even extinguish a trace of it.

They're not even in the same league!
If it is not cleaned up as soon as possible, Su Bei's right foot may suffer permanent damage.

Even his newly acquired affinity for light energy has become useless at this moment.

If it weren't for the fact that Seraphim probably wanted the celestial sphere of his inner universe, that one strike would probably have killed him beyond any hope of survival.

"When you are weak, you can't even control your own life and death."

He looked up at the sky, where there was no trace of the spatial rift, as if the earth-shattering battle just now was just an illusion.

Although the battle lasted only a few dozen seconds, Su Bei felt as if several days and nights had passed.

—To be honest, his mind was racing when he was caught.

It's like an ant being crushed by a human's giant hand; they're creatures on completely different levels.

"Kid, are you alright?"

A deep voice sounded in my ear.

Su Bei turned his head and saw that Bian Xiang had already put away his divine form and was looking down at him. The villainous king's face was pale and gloomy, and his eyes were flashing with a complex light.

Despite his effortless handling of the situation, one can understand the danger involved, considering that his power was transmitted from an unknown source and naturally suffered some losses. Furthermore, with two against one, Aubreyon bore the brunt of the pressure.

If it were a one-on-one situation, even Bian Xiang wouldn't be able to guarantee his escape unscathed.

Even so, the power of the holy sword contained within it still caused a certain backlash to him, resulting in some minor injuries. He was already considered very lucky.

But to be honest, he's gotten used to it—since practicing the Evil Karma Gene Method, evenly matched battles have been a luxury, and most of the time he can only fight against the odds.

Sometimes he understood, especially when he became the God of War and summoned his own Dharma form for the first time—he understood completely then.

I fit the villain template.

They've simply sided with the righteous side.

"Thank you for saving me, senior." Su Bei stood up on one leg and bowed respectfully.

"Don't thank me yet." Bian Xiang shook his head: "I don't know what went wrong with that birdman. This is the first time that Hidden Dragon Land has existed for so long."

"However, this Hidden Dragon Land is not a place to stay for long."

"Hidden Dragon Land is hidden in the void of our present world. Its spatial nodes are fragile. Even a War God-level being can tear through the nodes to enter. That birdman can break through here, but he cannot break through the present world. His true form can never descend."

Su Bei's heart skipped a beat. Bian Xiang clearly knew a lot about the inside story and wasn't curious about the birdman's origins at all, which meant he knew quite a bit.

"By the way, did this birdman suddenly go crazy because of the statue breaking?"

"probably."

Su Bei didn't say much. The celestial sphere inside his body was the foundation of everything he had, second only to the panel in importance. He wouldn't even admit it to his parents, but he just agreed.

"It seems we'll need to add a clause to the manual from now on..."

Due to the language barrier, Bian Xiang naturally wouldn't know that the scoundrel was specifically targeting Su Bei.

Besides, even if I told him, he might not believe me.

A law-level extraterrestrial powerhouse would go to great lengths to cross realms just to deal with a third-tier martial artist; it sounds like a joke.

The fifth floor of the Trial Tower.

When Su Bei stepped in again, he found that the tower keeper Oberion had returned to human form and was sitting cross-legged in the center of the hall, his face as pale as paper.

"Senior, are you alright?" Su Bei quickly stepped forward.

Oberyn opened his eyes, a hint of weariness flashing in his golden pupils: "It's nothing, just that I haven't fought in a while."

As he spoke, he looked at Su Bei and said, "Since you have obtained the inheritance of the Dragon of Light, you are a member of my dragon clan. I will protect you in this Dragon Hidden Land."

He flicked his finger and unleashed a domineering burst of energy that shot directly into Su Bei's right ankle, instantly extinguishing the extremely troublesome power of light.

The genes in Su Bei's ankle, under the rotation of the celestial sphere, quickly began to revive and take over, and were completely restored in just a few breaths.

"Thank you, senior," Su Bei said gratefully. If he were to use the slow and steady method to eliminate this energy, even without sleep or rest, it would probably take him dozens of days.

"this is for you."

A dragon-scale-shaped token flew into Su Bei's hand. It was cold to the touch and its surface was engraved with intricate runes.

Oberyn said, "The Key to Hidden Dragons. With this token, you can enter Hidden Dragon Lands without needing any other marks."

"Sierra Fel's actions this time have accelerated the recovery time of the laws in Hidden Dragon Land, causing Hidden Dragon Land to fall into a temporary state of dormancy. When it recovers, the Hidden Dragon Key will naturally react."

Su Bei nodded solemnly.

The reason why the Hidden Dragon Base only opens once every few years is probably related to this. Each opening requires a certain period of dormancy before it can be opened again.

However, the Key to the Hidden Dragon gave Su Bei the opportunity to open a dungeon solo.

"Go."

Oberyn waved his hand: "The Hidden Dragon Land will close in a moment."

When Su Bei emerged from the Trial Tower somewhat worriedly, a considerable number of people had already gathered there.

The old man who opened the Hidden Dragon Land was also among them.

This old man should be the one Oberyn mentioned who possessed the mark, but it is unknown how this mark is passed down.

Once everyone had gathered, they proceeded towards the dragon's tail, remaining silent throughout the entire process.

Two months of the three-month period had just passed when it had to be interrupted. The previous battle was still fresh in everyone's mind. Even if they had a hundred doubts in their hearts, no one dared to speak up.

No one would know that the culprit behind the disruption was among them.

Su Bei, however, was somewhat worried; he had underestimated the allure of the celestial sphere.

The sense of urgency to improve our strength immediately surged.

I wish I could switch to the Great Sun Emperor's main account right now and become invincible...

However, Hidden Dragon Land has indeed become quiet. The oppressive feeling that used to accompany people has disappeared without a trace, and the faint pressure has also faded considerably.

Moving forward at high speed.

Fifteen minutes later, all the trainees had gathered together.

After verifying the number of personnel, Bian Xiang glanced back at the direction of the Trial Tower and sighed softly, "Let's go back."

The old man picked up the wooden sword again and waved it gently.

"untie."

Like a giant curtain falling, without any apparent movement, the surrounding environment changed in the blink of an eye.

In the desert, a light brown snake blends almost into the sand, its narrow eyes fixed on a ground squirrel outside its burrow, waiting for the perfect moment to hunt.

In the next instant, a group of people suddenly appeared on the yellow sand, and the weasel kicked up fine sand under its feet and darted into the burrow.

The long snake lay prone on the ground, its life force suppressing it to the point of near immobility.

There's a snake.

A foot stepped on the snake's head and gently ground it down: "You're back..."

Yellow sand, dryness, wind.

The group returned to the desolate Northwest desert of the present world.

Text appeared on the panel.
