112: Chapter 112 New Map [Primitive Valley No. 1]!

Qianchongzhai Base City.

Located in the dense mountains and forests two hundred kilometers south of Huangshan Base City.

It is said that when the catastrophe first broke out, Qianchongzhai Base City was very lucky and did not have any Secret Realms of ordinary grade or above. Therefore, not only did it escape the monster impacts from broken Secret Realms,

but it also accumulated quite a lot of collectibles and foundation through several ordinary-grade Secret Realms around it in the early stages.

When several confidential-grade Secret Realms later appeared around the base city, the Pioneers of Qianchongzhai Base City handled them with absolute ease.

Up until now, Qianchongzhai Base City has already become a large base city boasting three confidential-grade Secret Realms, plus seven ordinary-grade Secret Realms!

Its defensive power radiates to several cities in the surrounding area, including Huangshan Base City.

As the airship slowly began to lower its altitude, looking through the glass window in front of them, a massive base city that seemed to have leveled a mountain peak among the mountain ranges appeared in the line of sight of Chu Hong and the others.

The airship landed in an open, flat space within the base city.

At this moment, when Chu Hong and the others got off the airship, several more airships descended from high altitude.

"Just the examination point of Qianchongzhai Base City has no less than eighty thousand examinees this year..." Song Jiaojiao said calmly.

"My father found out that this year the three of us from Huangshan Base City signed up for the examination of Longming Sacred Academy, but the number of people signing up for Longming Sacred Academy from the other base cities averages no less than five per city."

"It is said that Bozhou Base City has ten people signing up for Longming Sacred Academy this year, a full two full-strength teams. Among them, a person named Gu Chen is even rumored to be a genius in Bozhou Base City who will definitely be able to enter Longming Sacred Academy..."

Song Jiaojiao patiently shared the intelligence collected by her side's Rubiks Chamber of Commerce.

However,

whether it was Chu Hong or Wang Suming,

strictly speaking, the two of them were no longer ordinary prospective newcomers.

Wang Suming's Source Energy level is now at the third stage of Qiyuan Realm!

Chu Hong was even more exaggerated.

It had only been a month since graduating from Source Energy Middle School.

He had now reached the terrifying sixth stage of Qiyuan Realm!

Placed among the vast majority of ordinary people who had just activated their Source Energy, or had made slight improvements in Secret Realms, and were at most at the first or second stage of Qiyuan Realm,

this level of strength was undoubtedly an overwhelming crushing defeat!

However, this world is never lacking in geniuses...

Under the strict guard of armed personnel, the crowd lined up according to requirements in front of a huge castle before them that seemed to be entirely cast from black iron, holding their respective IDs and registration procedures.

"There is a possibility of death in the Source Energy University examination. Everyone must be clear about this. If you still decide to continue participating in this examination, sign your names on the risk notification form..."

A man dressed like an officer wearing combat uniform stood on the high platform of the open space in front of Black Iron Castle.

His voice reached the ears of everyone present.

Right in front of Chu Hong, Wang Suming, and the third person, someone quickly handed over a document.

Sign names, press fingerprints, take photos for confirmation...

It took less than half a minute for a single person to complete the whole set of procedures.

The gates in front of Black Iron Castle opened,

revealing a continuously rotating silver-white portal behind it. The portal was located on the plaza inside the castle and could be seen the moment the gate opened.

Everyone who completed the procedures was successively permitted to enter the castle.

"This is the transitional portal we will need to use later to enter the examination Secret Realm..." Song Jiaojiao said softly. Even she clearly carried a bit of tension at this moment.

Chu Hong, however, didn't care about these.

Today was arriving at the "examination hall", tomorrow would be a day of rest and preparation, and the day after tomorrow would be the official day to enter the examination Secret Realm.

Compared to so-called tension, he wanted to know even more where their examination Secret Realm would be.

The area of Black Iron Castle was not small, and it could easily accommodate tens of thousands of people to live here for a long time.

Chu Hong looked up at the dome hundreds of meters high above his head.

From the outside, it was a huge pitch-black castle,

but on the inside... it was more like a massive structure excavated within a mountain body.

"Transitional portals like this cannot currently be built from scratch by humans. These are remnants left behind after monsters in broken Secret Realms are eliminated, including the castle we are currently in—it was actually once a Secret Realm itself."

Song Jiaojiao explained.

Wang Suming sucked in a breath of cold air.

Having not yet truly wandered around Qianchongzhai Base City or witnessed how much more prosperous it was than Huangshan Base City, Wang Suming was made clearly aware of the gap between Huangshan Base City and Qianchongzhai Base City by Song Jiaojiao's single sentence.

The monster tide generated after a Secret Realm broke at such a close distance had actually been completely eliminated.

Today, the remaining traces of the Secret Realm were even utilized as a large-scale portal for evaluating new Pioneers of Daxia.

The three of them were assigned their respective rooms.

Located on the 121st floor of a main building in the castle, it was a narrow dwelling with an area of only about ten square meters, featuring a bed and a washing area.

As more and more examinees entered Black Iron Castle,

the sounds within the castle gradually became lively.

Full-strength teams that had formed groups in advance were gathering intelligence everywhere or observing their respective competitors.

"You must be the three people from Huangshan Base City who signed up for Longming Sacred Academy this year, right?"

On the 121st floor of the castle, in a public rest area,

Chu Hong and the other two, who were chatting with each other, looked up at the few people who inexplicably approached them, their brows furrowing slightly.

The leader was a young man wearing glasses who looked refined and scholarly, but always gave people a sense of discomfort. Behind him followed four companions who were obviously teammates.

At this moment, he was looking at them with a smile.

"Something the matter?"

Chu Hong asked calmly.

The latter smiled and extended a hand: "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Xu Wen from the Source Energy Middle School of Jiangbei Base City. I heard that among the three people from Huangshan Base City who signed up for Longming Sacred Academy recently, a 'sage' appeared. I was specifically curious and came over to take a look..."

Song Jiaojiao gently shook her head, supporting her forehead as she leaned back on the sofa.

Wang Suming, on the other hand, cast his gaze toward Chu Hong.

Only Chu Hong, upon hearing the word "sage" which clearly carried a heavy tone of ridicule and sarcasm, twitched the corner of his eye fiercely.

"It seems you are that brother named Chu Hong... To be able to take out such precious intelligence, Brother Chu's noble character is truly admirable!"

Chu Hong: "..."

He originally thought that only a bored guy like Xu Wen would rush over to specifically mock him for a few words.

Unexpectedly,

successively, several more people who had heard Chu Hong's story came knocking on the door to watch the show.

Seeing Chu Hong's gloomy gaze, Song Jiaojiao finally let out a soft sigh.

"Don't mind what they think. Back then, if the [Thunder-Horned Lizardman Tribe] Secret Realm had broken, the ones suffering would have been the innocent people of the entire Huangshan Base City. They will remember your contribution."

She was worried that Chu Hong would get stuck in a dead end.

However,

this was Song Jiaojiao overthinking it. With the golden finger of the [Special Service Department], how could Chu Hong get upset over mere running intelligence, let alone abandon his inner sense of righteousness?

"Just do good deeds, and never ask about the future!"

At this moment, he was completely unaware

that their conversation here was being heard loud and clear, word for word, by everyone in a massive single-floor conference room at the top of Black Iron Castle.

"Hehe, Old Jiang's Huangshan Base City has actually produced a pretty good youngster!" An old man with pitch-black hair, a thin build, but an incomparably rigid temperament stroked his goatee with a smile,

full of vigor.

Looking at the light and shadow projection of Chu Hong and the three of them in the rest area playing in real time in the middle of the conference table, his eyes were full of appreciation.

"Although his initially awakened skill is poor, his state of mind is resilient, not to mention having the courage to face danger head-on, and he also has sufficient righteous persistence... As long as this kid's luck isn't too bad, he will definitely have a place among the younger generation in the future!"

"Let's see whether he is truly a fool or someone with both courage and strategy... The confidential-grade [Primitive Valley No. 1] will tell us everything..."

Nighttime.

At 12 o'clock, not a single person went to rest in the evening.

"Ding-dong!"

Beside the pillow, on a tablet issued to each examinee in the examination hall, a new email suddenly appeared.

"Public Notice of the Examination Secret Realm of Daxia 2097 Higher Source Energy Academy — [Primitive Valley No. 1 · Confidential Grade]"

And almost at the same time Chu Hong clicked open this email,

the voice of the [Special Service Department] immediately came from Chu Hong's mind.

[Ding! Investigation area "Primitive Valley No. 1" discovered. Do you wish to record it into the Action Department of the Special Service Department?]

PS: Given up, 3 new five-star book reviews added... Hahahaha! Could the 950 update requests be completed so fast?!!!!! Tomorrow's update request rule is for me to directly do 9500!!!!! Hahahaha, who can outplay you guys! [I suddenly die right here with a snap]
