267: Enter the Secret Realm

Early the next morning.

After having breakfast with the people from Wushan University, Wang Chen gathered with them outside the hotel, full of energy.

At this time, Teacher Sun and another team leader from Wushan University were already waiting outside the hotel.

"Don't be so nervous. The Awakeners you will be competing against for the ownership of the Secret Realm aren't anything to be afraid of."

"As long as you perform normally, defeating them will absolutely be no problem."

Looking at his somewhat apprehensive students, Teacher Sun said with a smile.

Because Wang Chen was here this time, Teacher Sun had completely treated the struggle for the Secret Realm's ownership as a training exercise for his students, feeling there was no need to be too strict with them.

Therefore, he was very relaxed, and his words were even more casual.

Hearing his words, several of the ten students from Wushan University clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

Having just reached Rank 3, they were facing opponents who were three times their number and had an average Rank gap of over twenty levels. Even though they were all Geniuses in their own hearts, it was inevitable that they would be nervous.

Teacher Sun's words could be said to have given them a sense of reassurance.

Next, Teacher Sun offered a few more words of encouragement and led the team directly out of Haoyue City.

... ... Soon.

Taking the light rail, everyone arrived at the area where the Secret Realm was located.

At this moment, the area around the Secret Realm entrance was already crowded with people, and the Awakeners from the three major forces of Haoyue City had packed the vast area to the point where not even water could trickle through.

Looking around, there were at least a thousand Awakeners present, with an average strength around Rank 2.

However, perhaps because they were organized, the atmosphere here did not seem chaotic; on the contrary, it was very quiet.

When Wang Chen and the Wushan University group appeared, the gazes of all the Awakeners present converged on them, filled with hostility, giving a distinct feeling of being the center of attention.

Gazes have weight, too. Being watched by so many people, Teacher Sun and Wang Chen remained composed, but the expressions of the ten Wushan University students became nervous.

"Heh!" "Are they trying to give us a show of force?"

At this moment, Wang Chen suddenly heard Teacher Sun beside him sneer.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Wang Chen could guess what Teacher Sun's reaction would be, a terrifying Aura suddenly surged up.

Whoosh! Teacher Sun seemed to have transformed into the eye of a storm at this moment, his incredibly violent Aura sweeping across the entire scene.

Those Awakeners from the three major forces of Haoyue City, who had looked well-equipped and orderly, were directly knocked over and sent into disarray, looking utterly wretched.

For a moment, the Awakeners of the three major forces could not help but show fear and horror on their Faces, scrambling to clear a path.

"Hah!" "A bunch of rabble, daring to come out and make a fool of yourselves?"

Seeing this, Teacher Sun curled his lip in disdain. Withdrawing his Aura, he returned to his usual good-natured self.

"These guys are used to acting tough in a small place; if you don't give them a few knocks, they won't even know their own worth."

"You weren't scared, were you?" Teacher Sun glanced at Wang Chen, who remained composed, and asked kindly.

"No." Wang Chen shook his head, his eyes filled with a sense of longing as he looked at Teacher Sun.

Just by releasing his own Aura, he had sent over a thousand Rank 2 Awakeners reeling. The strength of a Rank 7 Awakener was truly formidable, truly something to yearn for.

"Let's go." Hearing this, Teacher Sun felt a little disappointed in his heart. That's it? At least give me, a Rank 7 Awakener, a little Face!

"Let's go." Having waited in vain for Wang Chen's admiration, Teacher Sun clapped his hands and strode toward the entrance.

Meanwhile, the leaders of the three major forces waiting at the Secret Realm entrance looked at Teacher Sun and the others walking slowly toward them, their eyes filled with extreme anger.

Damn it! Is a Rank 7 Awakener so amazing? It's not like we don't have one in our own families!

Li Yue and the other two grumbled inwardly and walked up to meet them with ugly expressions.

When Teacher Sun was being amiable, they dared to pull some small tricks. But now that the other party was fully putting on the "airs" of a Rank 7 powerhouse, staying here would be unappreciative of the situation.

... ... After some "professional pleasantries," both sides stood before the Secret Realm entrance, waiting for it to open completely.

The spatial fluctuations at the entrance of the Secret Realm continued to intensify, and the narrow fissure grew slowly, nearly reaching the height of a person.

Once it completely stabilized, the space-type mages could build a stable teleportation channel.

Having nothing to do, Wang Chen just glanced at the situation at the Secret Realm entrance a few times, then his gaze fell on the three entry teams of the three major forces.

These thirty people were well-equipped, and their Aura was quite fierce, completely different from the thousands of "small fry" he had seen when he first arrived.

Every one of them had reached the Rank 3 limit of level 100; clearly, they were all elites cultivated by the three major forces of Haoyue City.

"Huh?" Just as Wang Chen was observing these thirty people, he suddenly let out a soft exclamation, then focused his gaze on the New Moon Guild's team.

"This feeling?" "Why does it feel somewhat familiar?"

Among the ten Awakeners in this team, the Aura on eight of them gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

The Qi and blood fluctuations on their bodies were subtly different from those around them, revealing a strange quality.

Wang Chen remembered that he seemed to have sensed this strange Qi and blood Aura somewhere before.

Furthermore, the gazes of the other two Awakeners looking at him were also very strange.

Among them, there seemed to be a hint of... resentment.

However... before Wang Chen could think carefully, Teacher Sun turned around and said in a deep voice: "The Secret Realm channel is complete. Everyone, prepare to enter the Secret Realm."

"Alright." Wang Chen nodded, suppressing the doubts that had arisen in his heart, deciding to investigate further after entering the Secret Realm.

Lining up, the Awakeners of the three major forces and the students of Wushan University passed through the channel one after another to enter the Secret Realm.

Soon, it was Wang Chen's turn.

"Wang Chen, please look after those little rascals from our school." Before entering the channel, Teacher Sun's voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Hmm." Wang Chen nodded slightly, then walked directly into the Secret Realm channel.

... ... Hum, hum, hum! Amidst a dizzying spin, when Wang Chen's feet touched solid ground again, he had arrived in another space.

Whoosh! As soon as the spatial force wrapping around his body dissipated, a wave of heat that felt like it could roast a person rushed toward him.

Looking around, the surrounding environment was quite desolate. Not a speck of green could be seen on the ground; everywhere there was bare earth and piles of rocks with a hard luster.

Moreover, at this moment, there was no trace of the Awakeners from the three major forces or the Wushan University students who had entered before him within his field of vision.

However, Wang Chen was not surprised by this. Random teleportation is the norm when entering a Secret Realm.

After all, no one wants to be teleported all together in a swarm and then have a massive chaotic battle right from the start.
