Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

After realizing that the creature in the sinkhole had not followed, Chu Yuan felt relieved and prepared to return to the stone platform.

According to the information, the strongest being in the Seventh Secret Realm was originally the leader of the blood beasts, a being who had just entered the fourth realm.

Although blood beasts at this level are powerful, the strongest Inner Breath Realm cultivators in this group of trainees, if they join forces, are not invincible...

However, the changes that have occurred are clearly unexpected.

Chu Yuan felt that even if all the participants in this trial were tied together, they wouldn't be enough to withstand a single slap from that giant beast.

Moreover, there was that warrior on the giant beast's head who looked like a villain... Chu Yuan seemed to remember the medal he was playing with in his hand;

It was issued internally by the military, and its owners were almost all very powerful!

The medal was deformed and twisted, with bloodstains on it... It couldn't possibly be the warrior's own.

Chu Yuan prepared to leave the rift and go outside to explain the situation.

Anyway, he had enough points, and now all the blood beasts had gone to the sinkhole, so even if others wanted to continue killing them, there wouldn't be any more blood beasts for them to kill...

On the way back, I didn't activate the Sword Control Technique again, because I might encounter other trial participants at any time.

More or less, it may cause some potential trouble.

But you still have to kill any blood beasts that happen to pass by...

Having just killed four or five second-realm blood beasts, Chu Yuan's eyes flickered as he looked towards a spot in the dense forest;

Two figures walked over.

A pretty girl wearing the "Yuwu Affiliated High School" uniform;

A boy wearing a black satin training uniform... it was Li Ji.

Their eyes met, and Li Ji was taken aback at first, seemingly somewhat surprised;

But then, seeing the filth trampled on his body by the blood beasts, his eyes showed even more contempt.

He didn't know how Chu Yuan had survived Wang Cheng's attacks, but if a few mere blood beasts could render him into such a wretched state, then Chu Yuan wasn't worth his attention...

"Hey, you came running from up ahead?" the girl asked, arms crossed. "What happened up there?"

"There's a 'treasure' ahead, so we've passed all the blood beasts in the secret realm."

"I was no match for him, so I retreated," Chu Yuan said 'sincerely'.

"Tch~" The girl seemed somewhat disdainful, then asked, "Where's Wang Cheng? Have you seen Wang Cheng? You mean the guy who was with us?"

Chu Yuan asked, puzzled, "You're asking me if I've seen your companions before?"

The girl's answer surprised Chu Yuan somewhat. She said matter-of-factly, "Wang Cheng went to intercept you. What, you didn't run into him?"

Chu Yuan was so surprised that she spoke so matter-of-factly that he was so angry that he laughed.

"Heh~"

"What's with that expression?" The girl frowned, seemingly a little angry;

She drew the dagger from her sleeve and stepped forward.

She had heard of this guy before, though she couldn't remember his name, but Li Chen's death seemed to be related to him.

Of course, she didn't really care whether Li Chen lived or died;

It was just that someone in the Li family took their anger out on him, and they killed him without hesitation...

Just then, Li Ji suddenly turned his head and looked to the side;

Two more people followed the blood beast to this place.

Seemingly drawn by the lively atmosphere, the two ignored the rampaging blood beasts and headed towards them...

"Hey, isn't this the young master of the Li family?"

"What, bullying people here again?" came a sarcastic voice, full of mockery.

Chu Yuan looked up and saw that their school uniforms had the words "Shenwu Affiliated High School" printed on them.

Are they from the capital city?

The boy who spoke had hair that hung down to his shoulders and walked with a nonchalant attitude, exuding the air of a spoiled and arrogant young master.

The person who was with this kind of person was naturally not a decent character either. He was chubby and had a pair of squinty eyes that were scanning the girl up and down, as if he wanted to see right through her school uniform.

Li Ji seemed to recognize them, and the usually taciturn man finally spoke: "What's it to you?"

"Tch~ Some people, just because they have a great-grandfather who is a seventh-rank official, they act like they're doing things their own way, like a grandson."

"If someone who doesn't know the situation saw this, they'd think his father was a martial god~" the other person continued in a sarcastic tone, drawing out the words.

"That's still better than some people who act like thugs all day, bringing shame to their families!" said the girl next to Li Ji, her expression one of disgust.

The long-haired youth seemed unconcerned, looking at the girl with a forced smile and saying, "You're this show-off's fiancée? What's her name again? Fatty, do you remember?"

The fat man next to him twitched his cheeks twice and shook his head, saying, "I don't remember, she's from a humble family... why would I remember her?"

However, her breasts are quite large...

Chu Yuan looked at the girl's thick school uniform and wondered how the fat guy could tell. Was this some kind of talent?

Li Ji and the girl's faces darkened. The girl glared at him fiercely and gripped her dagger tightly.

"What, you want to fight?!" the long-haired boy raised his voice, rolling up his sleeves. "You've all gone too far! Fatty, deal with them!"

The fat man licked his lips, grinned sheepishly, and pointed at the girl: "I want to fight her."

"Are you going there to fight? I'm almost embarrassed to call you out on it..."

Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Chu Yuan was too lazy to get involved. He moved and used the Luo Yan Step to leave.

Li Ji's gaze sharpened. This speed... no wonder Wang Cheng couldn't take him down!

I'm afraid the other party, like myself, has already entered the Inner Breath Realm!

Even to the worst of cases, whether Wang Cheng is still alive... is another matter entirely...

The two boys who followed paid no attention to Chu Yuan's departure; their eyes were only filled with the desire for battle. They strode towards Li Ji and his companion.

.......

After that, they didn't encounter any more strange creatures, only blood beasts that kept arriving.

Chu Yuan successfully returned to the stone platform and found that there were already quite a few people on the platform!

A rough count suggests there are at least two or three thousand!

They seemed to be doing nothing, or huddled together talking, looking worried;

Or perhaps they are practicing meditation or resting with their eyes closed.

But no matter what they were doing, they couldn't hide the anxiety and sorrow between their brows;

A sense of oppression permeated the air...

Chu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up at the exit of the secret realm that was within reach;

These lower-level trial participants, if they want to accumulate points, naturally hunt blood beasts deep within the secret realm.

If they wanted to give up, they should have already left through the secret realm exit... So why are they all gathered here?

It can't be because it's fun, right?

He already had a few guesses in his mind, and with a push of his feet, he plunged headfirst into the vortex.

But the exit of the secret realm seemed to have turned into a shimmering illusion!

The next moment, Chu Yuan did not reappear outside, but instead landed back on the stone platform...

He felt a little heavy-hearted.

Is there a problem with the passageway?

"Don't bother, we can't get out... We've tried so many times already." A helpless sigh sounded behind him.

"We speculate that the passage may not be usable until after the five-day trial ends." Chu Yuan turned around and saw a petite girl who looked troubled, her small oval face scrunched up.

"You probably also think it's too dangerous and want to quit the trial, right? Do you want to go find some food and water together?"

Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Tian Tian.

Chu Yuan slowly spoke: "So, in your speculation, the information left by the military in the terminal is incorrect?"

The military isn't some makeshift operation; for trials of this level, the information on the terminals undergoes countless checks. How could they possibly give the trial participants incorrect information?

There's absolutely no logic to it!

Tian Tian's expression stiffened, and she said awkwardly, "Maybe... people always make mistakes..."
