63: Enter the Secret Realm

After listening to the music, Su Bai went to sleep in Cui Xian Lou.

Wang Ning, that guy, was also generous, booking the entire third floor so no one could disturb Su Bai.

Early the next morning, after waking from his sleep, Su Bai gently stretched.

“This feels so good!”

“This place is great for sleeping.”

After he got out of bed, breakfast was already laid out on the table.

Bathing, changing clothes, enjoying breakfast, with beautiful women serving him throughout.

Su Bai truly experienced a luxurious life.

“Uncle Su Bai, did you rest well last night?”

Wang Ning approached Su Bai, his face full of fawning smiles.

“It was alright, I’m very satisfied.”

“Did you pass the Trial Land’s task?”

Su Bai looked at the guy in front of him and asked.

“Yes, yes, after you passed the Trial Land, the difficulty of the task dropped sharply, and then I passed.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ning immediately nodded.

“Perfect, you can come with me to that mysterious secret realm; I’m going to do a Third Turn task, and you can see if you can get some resources.”

Su Bai gave a few instructions, then looked at his task panel.

【You have successfully accepted a Third Turn task.】

【Current Task: Third Turn】

【Task Description: On this continent, countless secrets are hidden. Enter the Meteor Empire’s most ancient secret realm, achieve an SSS-rank evaluation, and after clearing this secret realm, you will receive generous rewards.】

【Task Deadline: Ten days】

(Note: The current job transfer task is a special task; please complete it as soon as possible.)

“Alright.”

Hearing this, Wang Ning nodded, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

“Let’s go!”

The carriage carrying Su Bai and Wang Ning headed towards the Imperial Palace.

How extravagant!

Looking at the pavilions, terraces, and the magnificent, golden palace before him, Su Bai secretly sighed in his heart.

The Meteor Empire’s welfare for orphans like them was quite good; at the very least, Su Bai was raised by the Meteor Empire.

He still felt a sense of belonging to this country.

“Oh, isn’t this Elder Jiang? Long time no see, did you miss me?”

As soon as the carriage stopped at the palace entrance, Su Bai saw an old man standing outside the palace gate, exuding an aura of natural authority.

“You little brat, I was too embarrassed to even mention it.”

“I sent you to Qinglong City to keep a low profile, but you, on the other hand, went and found trouble for yourself.”

“First, you annihilated the Yang family, then you challenged the Pride Tower, then you cleared the Trial Land, and you even smashed the Demon God’s Pillar, making the Demon God furious and wanting to kill you. What exactly are you trying to do?”

Jiang Lin sighed, his eyes full of emotion.

He finally understood.

Sending him to Qinglong Academy back then was absolutely unnecessary.

No matter where this kid went, he would always find something to do.

“Elder, if you hadn’t told me, I really wouldn’t have known I did so many earth-shattering deeds.”

Su Bai heard this and didn’t mind.

“Let’s go, His Majesty is waiting for you.”

Jiang Lin led the two into the Imperial Palace.

The three of them turned left and right along a narrow path, eventually arriving at the entrance of the Imperial Study.

“Su Bai, it’s a pleasure to meet you. This should be our first meeting, shouldn’t it?”

Just then, Emperor Yuxing’s voice rang in Su Bai’s ears.

“Thank you for His Majesty’s favor in bestowing upon me the title of Champion Marquis; I am endlessly grateful.”

Su Bai cupped his hands towards Emperor Yuxing, a hint of respect in his tone.

“I already know the purpose of your visit. The entrance to the secret realm is in the Imperial Garden; someone is already waiting for you there. After entering the secret realm, please take care of my daughter.”

“That foolish girl insisted on joining the fun; I can’t do anything about her.”

The Imperial Capital’s Emperor of the Meteor Empire sighed, speaking with some helplessness.

Indeed, a daughter grown up cannot be kept; his own little cotton-padded jacket now wouldn’t even listen to him.

“Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Led by a professional, Su Bai and Wang Ning quickly arrived at the Imperial Garden.

Many people had already gathered there, most of them at the entrance, looking at each other in confusion.

“Who is he?”

“Are you stupid? Didn’t you look at the portrait from home? This is Su Bai!”

“So he’s Su Bai, huh? He looks gentle and harmless, not dangerous at all.”

“I don’t know if he’s dangerous, but he’s definitely strong.”

“How could a man called Champion Marquis not be strong?”

Everyone’s gaze fell on Su Bai as they quietly discussed.

Su Bai surveyed the surroundings and finally spotted a figure among the crowd.

Just then, a vortex suddenly opened, emitting terrifying energy.

Without thinking, Su Bai turned and entered the vortex.

【You have successfully entered the secret realm.】

【Assessment has begun.】

A cold notification sound rang in Su Bai’s ears.

He looked around but didn’t see anyone.

It seemed that everyone had entered a separate mysterious space.

“What’s the first stage?”

Su Bai examined the palace before him; strange symbols floated above the palace, looking particularly eerie.

He walked around the palace in a complete circle but still couldn’t find anything unusual about it.

“What’s going on? There are no hints at all, and they’re playing riddles with me?”

“I don’t have time to play these games with you.”

Su Bai took a deep breath and directly summoned his beast.

According to the old rule, when in doubt, resort to violence.

A terrifying dragon’s breath landed on the palace, and the palace walls were instantly corroded and pockmarked.

The Gengjin Xuan Turtle let out a long roar, beginning to tremble incessantly.

In an instant, the earth shook.

The palace before him directly turned into a pile of ruins, with no trace of its former glory.

【Congratulations! You have successfully passed the first stage.】

【Next, please enter the second stage.】

A cold notification sound rang in Su Bai’s ears.

“Sure enough, violent demolition is effective. Who the hell wants to play hide-and-seek with you?”

Su Bai pondered in his mind what the standard for an SSS evaluation was!

At the same time, a set of stairs appeared before him.

Without thinking, Su Bai stepped directly onto the stairs.

At the end of the stairs was an underground world, where a colossal creature lay prostrate, a hint of coldness in its eyes.

【Mutated Poison Frog】

【Level: LV 130】

【Rank: Totem】

【HP: 900,000】

【Attack Power: 18888】

“These stats are decent, but too bad it met me.”

Su Bai waved his hand, and a terrifying aurora quietly emerged, tearing the monster before him to shreds.

【Congratulations! You have successfully passed the second stage. Please continue your efforts.】

A cold voice slowly rang out, and the staircase reappeared, extending into the depths of the mist.
