162: Encountering Raging Waves

On the grassland.

"Master, where are we going?"

Situ Ye asked, puzzled.

This was the Thirty-third Area, unlike the barren Area 32, it was full of Opportunities.

Someone once obtained a Legacy left by a Dian Ling Realm expert on the grassland.

Someone else even acquired a weapon from a Zhu Tai Realm expert.

Because of this, Situ Ye wanted to stay in the Thirty-third Area and search for Opportunities suitable for him.

But Shen Xi kept walking forward without any stop, as if those Opportunities were not worth mentioning to him at all.

"To the First Zone!"

Shen Xi had already arranged with the Two People to meet in the First Zone.

However, the plan might have to change now.

The Regional Barrier had strengthened, which meant some of his companions might not be able to reach the First Zone.

Especially Fatty, Chu He, and the others; with their strength, they would absolutely not be able to break through the Regional Barrier, unless they were lucky enough to encounter someone like Shen Xi, who opened a passage and allowed them to hitch a ride.

However, Shen Xi could not guarantee that everyone would have such luck.

Because of this, Shen Xi had to rush to the First Zone immediately to confirm the rendezvous with his companions; if they didn't arrive, he would then search for them one area at a time.

"The First Zone! Is Master planning to go to those most important Forbidden Grounds to find his Opportunity?"

Situ Ye was not surprised.

With Shen Xi's battle prowess, he would definitely venture into those Forbidden Grounds.

That was truly a gathering place for Geniuses.

Every time the Chasing Wind Secret Realm opened, the elites who entered the Secret Realm would go to those Forbidden Grounds to try their luck.

Whether it was obtaining weapons left by those experts in their lifetime, or Cultivation Technique Legacies, or various resources, it was all a tremendous gain.

"Mm! Let's speed up and reach the First Zone as quickly as possible."

"Yes! I promise not to delay Master's time."

The Two People, Master and disciple, once again picked up their pace, heading towards the Regional Barrier of the Thirty-fourth Area.

Along the way, they also encountered many people searching for Opportunities.

However, most people showed a wary expression when they saw Shen Xi and the other person.

In the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, everyone knew that besides Yao Beasts, the most dangerous thing was actually people.

For resources, there were countless people who fought and killed each other.

Because of this, everyone, whether they were searching for Opportunities or doing other things, chose to act discreetly, to avoid being targeted by ill-intentioned individuals.

As for someone like Shen Xi, who traveled without concealing his whereabouts, he was either a fool or had absolute confidence in his own strength; such a person was the hardest to provoke.

So the Martial Artists they encountered on the road, the moment they saw Shen Xi, all kept their distance, to avoid being targeted.

And Shen Xi naturally bothered to pay them any mind, from beginning to end, he only wanted to reach the First Zone quickly.

They arrived at the Regional Barrier of the Thirty-third Area.

The situation was almost identical to Area 32; many young Geniuses looked worried, having clearly already discovered the increased strength of the Regional Barrier.

Of course, the number of people was significantly less than in Area 32.

After all, Area 32 was a barren land, and everyone wanted to escape that dreadful place.

However, the Thirty-third Area was completely different; there were indeed many Opportunities here, and even if it couldn't compare to the First Zone, finding even one could greatly benefit these young people.

Because of this, the number of people wanting to leave the Thirty-third Area was noticeably smaller.

"The Regional Barrier has prevented too many people from leaving."

Shen Xi said with emotion.

After all, not everyone could break through the Regional Barrier as easily as eating and drinking, like him.

Just as Shen Xi was about to break through the Regional Barrier as before.

A figure sped from afar.

Upon reaching the Regional Barrier, the figure did not stop, directly throwing a punch.

The next second, the Regional Barrier was broken.

The figure flashed and entered the passage, heading to the Thirty-fifth Area.

This was an expert!

Shen Xi immediately made a judgment.

To be able to break through the Regional Barrier, one must at least possess the battle prowess of the Xiantian Realm.

And from the figure's relaxed and casual posture when striking, it was evident that the opponent's battle prowess was not merely at the Initial Stage of the Acquired Realm.

The figure's battle prowess had at least reached the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm level.

This alone was enough to illustrate the terrifying aspect of the figure.

Even the current Shen Xi, without using the Illusory Void Scripture and Huan Xu Pearl, only had battle prowess that could crush the Early Stage of the Acquired Realm.

One can imagine how astonishing the figure's strength was.

In the entire Chasing Wind Secret Realm, the opponent was definitely among the elites.

"It's him?"

"Do you Two People know each other?"

"Kuang Tao, son of the Crazy Wolf City Lord."

"I've heard of him. It's said that before entering the Chasing Wind Secret Realm, he declared that he would travel through all thirty-six areas of the Chasing Wind Secret Realm."

"So, he's currently traveling through the thirty-six areas?"

"Who knows how many areas he's already seen? The Secret Realm has only been open for less than a day, so it shouldn't be many, right?"

"Who can tell? While we're still agonizing over going to the next area, he's already freely roaming."

Everyone couldn't help but secretly click their tongues.

A person's name, a tree's shadow; Kuang Tao was already a Genius of a region, and his battle prowess was even more astonishing, so naturally, many people had heard of his name.

Now, such a dazzling display aroused even more secret envy from many people, and his name would surely spread throughout the entire Chasing Wind Secret Realm in a short time.

"Kuang Tao, is it?"

Shen Xi said thoughtfully.

He knew very well that the Geniuses who entered the Chasing Wind Secret Realm definitely wanted to obtain the Wind Chasing Swordplay.

Even if they weren't Sword Cultivators, they would want to exchange the Wind Chasing Swordplay for the Martial Arts Cultivation Techniques they needed.

Because of this, they were all competitors.

And Kuang Tao's battle prowess was already enough to make Shen Xi take him seriously.

"However, even if you are very strong, I will not retreat a single step. If there is truly a competitive conflict, then let's rely on our own abilities!"

Shen Xi muttered in a low voice.

Facing a powerful opponent, he didn't feel nervous or uneasy; on the contrary, he felt a hint of excitement.

The stronger the opponent, the greater the challenge, and this was also a manifestation of Shen Xi's Martial Heart.

Would a Martial Heart that dared to defy Heaven still fear powerful enemies?

If it didn't fear Heaven, would it fear people?

This was Shen Xi's Martial Heart!

"Continue forward!"

Shen Xi did not linger, leading Situ Ye towards the Thirty-fourth Area.

And these young Geniuses present, after recovering from their initial shock, also stepped onto the passage leading to the Thirty-fourth Area.

A melee also erupted because of this passage, which could only last for five minutes.
