172: Tianyuan Secret Realm

“Tianyuan Secret Realm.”

Li Changkong was slightly startled as he looked at the booklet in his hand.

“It is said that there are some Dragon messages inside. If you want to obtain Dragon Blood, this will be of great help to you.”

Fire Dean looked at Li Changkong and said with a smile.

After opening the booklet, Li Changkong began to flip through it.

The first page of the booklet introduced this Secret Realm, which was actually an unknown Secret Realm, meaning a Secret Realm with very few explorers.

Generally speaking, Secret Realms are divided into known and unknown.

If a strong person has cleared a Secret Realm and knows the situation within it, then it is a known Secret Realm.

If a strong person has not cleared a Secret Realm, then it is a legendary unknown Secret Realm.

Although these two types of Secret Realms sound similar, the latter is more dangerous.

Instances, generally speaking, are only entered by people from nearby cities.

However, the existence of Secret Realms is completely different. Secret Realms are not only participated in by people from other cities, but also by many people from other countries.

And this unknown Secret Realm in front of them is actually a hot topic in the current world.

If someone can be the first to clear a Secret Realm, they often receive very generous rewards.

And this Secret Realm, which has not been first cleared, naturally became a hot topic.

“There is a high possibility of Dragon Blood existing in this Secret Realm. The school is also preparing to form a team to explore this Secret Realm.”

“This time, I have also managed to secure a spot for you to enter this Secret Realm.”

“However, this time you might have to go in with some Advanced students. You should look out for each other when the time comes.”

Fire Dean continued, clearly arranging things for Li Changkong.

“No problem.”

Hearing that it was another team-up, Li Changkong felt a bit helpless.

After so many team-ups, he knew that once a team was formed, things would become more complicated.

However, that Secret Realm could only be entered by teaming up, so he had no choice but to do so. At worst, after entering the Secret Realm, he would find a way to leave the team.

After figuring out these issues, he naturally agreed immediately.

“Tomorrow, you can go directly to the school’s teleportation station. Someone will naturally be there to greet you.”

Fire Dean nodded and continued to speak.

...

Soon it was the next day, and several people had already gathered at the teleportation point.

The entire squad consisted of five people.

Two warriors, two mages, and one priest.

From this composition, it could be seen that it was a team entirely built for combat.

Among these few people, the leader was a mage, and she was a Fire-element female mage in a long red dress.

This female mage was extremely hot, both in appearance and figure.

The long dress on her legs appeared exceptionally enchanting and alluring.

“This is Huolianhua, a senior sister in her fourth year, and her strength in the school should Rank among the top three.”

Hou Wen had come along this time, and at this moment, he whispered in Li Changkong’s ear.

Li Changkong was indeed not as knowledgeable about the school as Hou Wen.

He only felt that the woman in front of him was beautiful, but he didn't expect her strength to be so formidable.

Every movement of the woman seemed to interpret what it meant to be charming.

“You’re here, little brother?”

Upon seeing Li Changkong, the mage swayed over.

Even Li Changkong couldn't help but take a couple more glances at those bright, long white legs.

“My name is Li Changkong.”

Li Changkong introduced himself first.

“Don’t worry, we’ve all heard your name. A person who can clear the 18th floor of the Black Tower is indeed very handsome.”

The woman laughed loudly at this moment.

“Alright, don’t bully the new student. Let’s go in quickly this time.”

“This time, it’s not just our Dragon Kingdom. I heard that the neighboring Gao Kingdom also sent a team, and their strength is not weak.”

A warrior, who looked honest and simple, walked over and said in a booming voice.

The woman seemed a bit disheartened upon hearing this.

And the few people in the team quickly introduced themselves.

The woman’s name was Zhao Juechen, a name that perfectly matched her appearance: devastatingly beautiful and uniquely independent.

And she was also a unique professional, with the profession name World-Destroying Fire Lotus.

The power of this unique profession skill naturally goes without saying.

Just hearing the name, one would know that this was an extraordinary profession, and she was also a Fire-element mage.

After introducing themselves, Li Changkong also found that these senior students were quite nice and none of them were openly hostile towards him.

The remaining two warriors and one mage were also among the top 20 students in the academy.

Their strength had generally reached Level 40, making them elites of the school.

However, the few people in front of him did not have the airs of elites; instead, they were very approachable.

Before entering the Secret Realm, they first introduced the dangers of this Secret Realm to Li Changkong.

Firstly, because this was an unknown Secret Realm, it had not been explored before.

So, there was no information yet on the highest Rank of monsters inside.

Secondly, this Secret Realm itself had many small teams exploring it together.

Therefore, it was very normal for friction to arise between these small teams.

Secret Realms are different from reality. After dying inside, one can still experience Rebirth.

But the penalty for dying is much heavier than in a typical instance.

In a typical instance, dying only results in losing two or three Ranks.

Generally, the higher the Rank, the fewer Ranks are lost.

Within a Secret Realm, once dead, at least four or five Ranks are lost.

For an Advanced professional, such a Rank sacrifice is simply unbearable.

Overall, this Secret Realm is actually a relatively intermediate exploration ground.

After listening to these introductions, Li Changkong was still very determined to enter the Secret Realm.

In fact, at the very beginning of the game world’s arrival, all humans were united.

As the crisis passed and things gradually calmed down, divisions began to appear among humans again.

The struggle for resources has never ceased throughout the past tens of millions of years.

Except at the beginning of a crisis, when only unity could ensure the continuation of the species.

Now that the world has gradually calmed down, this unity is naturally gradually disintegrating.

This time, when they enter the Secret Realm, they will likely encounter professionals from other countries.
