95: Ace Flying Dragon requests to fight!

In the Blazing Dragon University Secret Realm Dungeon Hall.

Numerous freshmen and sophomores and juniors silently queuing watched Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen, being courteously given way by one female student after another from the very back of the line, passing them like lightning.

In their hearts, it was as if they had just been screwed over!

What's the use of being handsome? Among Awakeners, strength is king!

Who knows how many people muttered enviously to themselves.

In the crowd, the tall Yan Liang looked at the girls whose faces were slightly flushed and whose eyes were practically glued to Wang Chen, and his mouth couldn't help but twitch.

“Normally, these girls act all aloof; when I try to talk to them, they ignore me.”

“Now, seeing a pretty boy, they all turn into infatuated fangirls!”

He couldn't help but say sourly.

Beside him, a fellow sophomore couldn't help but glance at him upon hearing his words, then silently took a step back.

With that square face of yours, don't you have any idea why they ignore you?

“Hehe!”

This person sneered, then looked enviously at the slender figure at the front of the crowd.

If only I could be half as handsome as this guy, how great would that be!

...

After adding over a dozen senior female students as friends and waiting for another two minutes, Wang Chen finally stood before the service desk in the hall.

“Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen, which Secret Realm Dungeon are you planning to enter?”

Behind the service desk, a sophomore senior female student asked with a warm smile.

“Hmm?”

Seeing this senior female student, Wang Chen couldn't help but be stunned.

Why, isn't it a school teacher responsible for registration?

“It seems Senior Disciple, you don't pay much attention to the school's mission hall. Taking on missions at school is also a way for us to earn academic credits.”

As if sensing his confusion, the senior female student explained with a smile, then looked fixedly at Wang Chen.

“Oh, I plan to enter the Dark Wilderness.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Chen nodded and handed over his data wristband.

Before coming, he had already prepared. Blazing Dragon University has a total of twenty Silver Rank Secret Realm Dungeons open to students.

Among them, the “Dark Wilderness” is considered the easiest, making it extremely suitable for newly enrolled freshmen.

Wang Chen intended to test the waters with this Secret Realm Dungeon first.

Taking the wristband, the sophomore senior female student operated the instrument at hand, while also reminding him:

“Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen, pay attention, the Secret Realm clearance reward is comprehensively determined by your clearance time and performance score.”

“If you are not satisfied with your final score, you can exit and re-enter.”

“This way, it won't affect the rewards you ultimately receive for clearing it.”

Hearing the senior female student's words, Wang Chen nodded politely and thanked her.

The rewards for clearing a Secret Realm Dungeon are most generous only the first time; after that, each subsequent clearance of the Secret Realm Dungeon will only yield the most basic rewards.

Therefore, many people make extensive preparations before entering a Secret Realm Dungeon to maximize their gains from it.

“Alright, Junior Apprentice-Brother Wang Chen, the Dark Wilderness is a Silver Rank Instance, and your clearance allows free entry.”

“So far, in addition to Silver Rank Instances, your clearance still has fifteen Golden Secret Realm Dungeon entry opportunities remaining.”

After the sophomore senior female student finished operating, she handed the data wristband to Wang Chen with an envious expression.

Free entry to Silver Rank Instances is a privilege only granted to the top-ranked student in each grade.

For them, wanting to enter a Silver Rank Instance even once costs a hundred academic credits each time.

“Thank you, Senior Female Student!”

Taking the data wristband, Wang Chen nodded lightly, then without hesitation, walked directly towards the spatial teleportation gate next to the service desk.

[Friendly Reminder: You have successfully entered the Secret Realm Dungeon “Dark Wasteland”!]

[Secret Realm Dungeon Rank: Silver Rank.]

[Secret Realm Dungeon Difficulty: Hell Rank.]

[Entry Rank: Rank 40 and above can enter.]

[Number of Entrants: Single player.]

[Return scroll has been automatically issued. If you encounter danger, tear the scroll to be immediately teleported out of the Secret Realm Dungeon.]

...

Amidst the dizzying sensation, when Wang Chen's feet touched the ground again, the Secret Realm Dungeon's notification sound rang in his ears.

After listening to the introduction, Wang Chen did not immediately choose to act but turned his head to look around.

The place he was currently in was a wasteland shrouded in night.

Under the dim moonlight, one could see crisscrossing gullies, as well as shattered armor and weapons, remaining on the wasteland ground.

While Wang Chen was observing his surroundings...

[Affected by the erosion of Dark Qi, the challenger's all attributes decrease by ten percent.]

[Affected by the erosion of Dark Qi, the challenger's recovery ability is weakened by ten percent.]

The Secret Realm Dungeon's notification sounds rang out consecutively again.

“Two debuffs, huh?”

Noticing his body felt a bit heavy, Wang Chen mumbled, not surprised by this.

Starting from Silver Rank Secret Realm Dungeons, challengers not only face the monsters inherent in the Secret Realm Dungeon but also the special environment within the Instance.

“Ice Purity, Su Su, get ready to work!”

He stretched his limbs a few times and summoned the two little ones from the Beast Pet Space.

“My foolish Master, are you begging for my power again?”

As soon as Ice Purity flew out of the Beast Pet Space, she landed on Wang Chen's shoulder, her small head held high, looking arrogant.

“Woof woof!”

On the other shoulder, Nine-tailed Celestial Fox Su Su also wagged her tail.

“Uh...”

Hearing this, Wang Chen sighed.

“It's 'Master', not 'Master' (foolish)!”

Patting Ice Purity's small head, he said with a serious expression.

Ice Purity was articulate when speaking about other things, but every time she addressed him, she always got his title wrong.

Calling him that was fine when it was just the two of them, but if others heard it...

Wang Chen felt that he would probably suffer social death!

Just as he was lecturing Ice Purity...

“Roar!”

A hoarse roar suddenly echoed across the wasteland.

Crack! Crack!

Immediately after, the sound of bones rubbing together rang out, and from the deeply grooved ground, one skeletal frame after another emerged.

Skeleton Warriors!

Monsters unique to the “Dark Wasteland” Secret Realm Dungeon.

Wang Chen chose this Secret Realm Dungeon not only to test the waters but also with the intention of gaining experience.

After all, in the real world, although wild monsters run rampant in areas outside cities, there are no creatures of the Undead race.

Because these fellows are born from Death Qi, and once a considerable number gather, they can cause irreversible damage to the real world.

Therefore, any monster of the Undead race appearing in the real world is immediately wiped clean.

At the same time.

The appearance of the Skeleton Warriors instantly attracted Ice Purity's attention.

“Ace Flying Dragon requesting to battle!”

She excitedly waved her small Dragon claws.
