89: The Dark Realm

Over the past two days, Lin Shu continued his activities in the equipment room as usual.

However, the newly contracted Ziyu surprised and intrigued everyone.

Upon learning that it was of perfect quality, everyone was full of admiration.

They all understood that this was the benefit of an extraordinary Talent.

They exclaimed, not only did his Beastmaster level rise rapidly, but even his Mental power increased so quickly.

It truly made them extremely envious; his perfect Talent meant he was born for the profession of a Beastmaster.

Today was also the day Lin Shu and Xu Lihuang were to visit the recently formed Otherworld.

This matter was naturally not kept from everyone; instead, it was shared with them.

Inside the equipment room at this moment, everyone was enthusiastically exercising.

They were preparing for the next round of the Binzhou Cup competition.

Especially Chen Yujia and Lan Mengzhu, their Beastmaster recovery was even faster than the previously estimated time.

After just one day of simple rest, she plunged back into training.

Presumably, she was afraid of falling behind in the upcoming competitions.

During a break, Lei Wu asked curiously,

"Lin Shu, when are you going?"

"It’s almost noon."

Lin Shu naturally knew what Lei Wu was referring to.

The principal had also contacted him, stating that he could go in the afternoon.

Everyone else also cast their gaze towards Lin Shu, clearly interested in the topic.

"Going in the afternoon."

"Still time to eat lunch."

Speaking of lunch, Lin Shu had stored a lot of living supplies in his space ring and the Realm of Utmost Darkness's spatial reserves over the past two days.

There was everything imaginable, enough for Lin Shu to survive for three months, along with some necessary tools and so on.

These were also to prevent emergencies; such preparations needed to be made in advance.

"I really envy you, you get to explore new territories."

"Yeah, none of us have ever been."

"I really want to see it."

Lei Wu said something like that after hearing it, and Li Shuheng, Chen Yujia, and Lan Mengzhu echoed his sentiments.

"If you were like Lin Shu,"

"You wouldn't even need to ask; I'd talk to the principal, and he'd naturally let you go."

Xu Lihuang said with a smile from the side.

This made the few people who had just spoken shrug; Lin Shu was a monster, how could they compare?

"Teacher Xu, don't joke."

"Lin Shu is a Beastmaster genius that Fengdu City hasn't seen in a hundred years."

"How can we ordinary people compare to him?"

As soon as this was said, especially the few reserve members, they nodded in strong agreement.

They were particularly convinced of this.

To all this, Lin Shu merely smiled faintly, not interjecting... Time quickly arrived at 1 PM.

Lin Shu and Xu Lihuang began their journey to the location.

Although the principal didn't come, he had called Snow Feather over.

This was enough to show the level of importance, and even Xu Lihuang looked at Lin Shu with envy, thinking that such treatment was truly extraordinary.

He could even command the principal's ace Beastmaster at any time.

Snow Feather glanced at the two, clearly recognizing them; the higher the Beastmaster's level, the more intelligent it naturally became.

This could be seen from Tuyao.

The two mounted together, and Snow Feather still headed towards the destination at an extremely fast speed.

After only ten minutes, Lin Shu could see a deep, dark vortex continuously swirling below.

There were also many ant-sized figures moving below; these were clearly Beastmasters who had come to explore the secret realm.

Snow Feather landed steadily not far from the Otherworld entrance, choosing a less crowded corner.

Although they tried to avoid contact with people, it still attracted the attention of many nearby.

"Such a high-level Beastmaster, I can't even detect its level. Is this some rich second-generation coming out to experience life?"

"Absolutely don't provoke him; it's best to stay away from him if you encounter him."

Many people had already formed an opinion of Lin Shu in their hearts.

On the other side, Bai Sheng, who had been eagerly awaiting, narrowed his eyes.

"Isn't that Lin Shu?"

"You're so flashy today, and you're here too, what a coincidence."

He then walked over, and a young man beside him also followed.

He didn't stop him; he clearly recognized Lin Shu and knew that he had a good relationship with his little Sheng.

Lin Shu observed his surroundings.

He noticed that many buildings had already sprung up not far away, simple bungalows, and in the distance, many troops were patrolling the area.

The area around the Otherworld entrance had also clearly been renovated; the ground was flat, and a signal tower had even appeared on a large section of the area.

This was clearly done by the officials, and their speed was truly impressive.

Just then, a voice interrupted Lin Shu.

"What a coincidence, you're here."

Lin Shu turned his head at the sound and saw Bai Sheng walking over with a smile, along with the young man beside him.

The latter was looking at Snow Feather with interest.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Bai Sheng raised an eyebrow and lightly punched Lin Shu's back with his fist.

"You're underestimating me, aren't you?"

Then the two laughed heartily and began introductions.

"This is my brother, Bai Yufan."

The young man politely nodded to Lin Shu and Xu Lihuang and greeted them.

Lin Shu also pointed to his teacher.

"This is my teacher, Xu Lihuang."

As for Snow Feather, who was resting on the ground not far away, he also gave a brief introduction.

The few of them had now made a simple acquaintance.

Then they began to talk about this shattered-level Otherworld.

"Do you know the situation inside?"

Lin Shu nodded; the principal had already told him midway.

This was a fragment Otherworld originally belonging to the Realm of Utmost Darkness.

Bai Sheng was not surprised; ordinary people could usually find out such things with a little inquiry.

"From what I've heard, the environment inside is a bit harsh; it's a world of eternal night."

"Coupled with those dark-attribute Beastmasters, it's extremely dangerous for low-level Beastmasters."

Bai Sheng's voice was very soft, just enough for Lin Shu to hear.

Lin Shu, however, didn't pay attention to these things; he just asked,

"Are there many Beastmasters inside?"

How dangerous could this danger be? The upper limit for Beastmasters appearing was only around level 30. Not to mention Realm of Utmost Darkness's strength, and with Teacher Xu protecting him, these were nothing.

So Lin Shu was currently concerned about whether there were enough Beastmasters for him to kill.

"It's alright, but in this environment,"

"Most of them are hidden in corners, looking for opportunities to ambush."

Although Lin Shu might not feel it was dangerous, it was different for Bai Sheng; after all, his Heavenly Thunder was currently only level 20.

"Understood."

Even if they hid, it didn't matter; with the system panel's help, he wasn't afraid of them hiding at all.

Bai Sheng originally wanted to go with Lin Shu, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.

With Lin Shu's strength, he would likely go deep inside, while she would just explore the periphery.

Just as the two were chatting for a while,

The vortex behind them changed; the rapidly rotating speed inside suddenly stopped.

The pitch-blackness above gradually faded.

Everyone already knew about this scene change; it was the effect after the internal space stabilized.

Now they could enter the Otherworld...
