40: Enter the Secret Realm

The Human Race now values talent above all, while the foreign races prioritize Bloodline, which is divided into Common Blood, High Blood, Noble Blood, Royal Blood, Emperor Blood, and Imperial Blood.

Foreign race is a general term, encompassing thousands of categories; for example, Ghost Sheep Demon God comes from the broad category of Demons.

From the day they are born, their future Dao is basically determined; for instance, the Demon race's innate talents are fire and Physical Body.

The Fire Flame Secret Realm is used to collect flames, so half of the hundreds of foreign races present are Demons.

Furthermore, one can judge the strength of a foreign race's Bloodline by their appearance: the more human-like they look, the stronger their Bloodline.

At a glance, there was a black Demon over three meters tall, with wings and a distorted facial outline.

Yet, this Demon bowed subserviently to a smaller Demon, only a meter tall, with a pale face and delicate features.

At this moment, the Fire Flame Secret Realm was slowly forming, and it would be accessible in about half an hour.

Xiao Fan sat quietly, beginning to ponder the purpose of his trip.

He wouldn't worry about his brother-in-law, but he needed to help Immortal Fire activate the second stage of the Fire God Blade. The activation method was simple: find a flame with peculiar attributes for tempering.

This tempering was not just for the blade, but for both the person and the blade to be tempered together, creating a resonance that might unlock the second stage.

Next were his own matters.

Firstly, he hoped to Breakthrough to Little Grandmaster in the Secret Realm. Cultivate is a long Dao, and to speed it up, a large amount of resources must be accumulated.

For example, a large amount of essence blood from foreign races.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan subtly scanned the foreign race crowd, assessing which foreign races would be easy to bully and which to avoid.

The second task to complete.

Find a powerful flame and absorb it into his weapon arsenal!

At this moment, he deeply realized the importance of elemental attributes.

To be able to turn one's body into flame is truly unfair!

If he hadn't possessed the lightning element, he might have truly been helpless against Lin Lianshen yesterday, and in the future, such situations would only become more frequent!

At this point, the power of the Omnipotent Great Sage became apparent. Although it was a revered-level talent, its characteristic was that the affinity for every talent was at a medium level!

This was already good enough for the current Xiao Fan, and when he later acquired the Omnipotent Great Sage, that affinity would rise another level!

Finally, Xiao Fan glanced at Wang Qingtian behind him, only to see Wang Qingtian staring at him with Killing Intent, even making a throat-slitting gesture.

"Beyond saving." Xiao Fan was perfectly calm.

Just then, the Secret Realm before them emitted a rumbling sound. The previously turbulent flames grew even more vivid red and solid.

A fluctuation of Space Laws rose, and Xiao Fan, looking at this power, felt his heart stir. It was as if anything entering that space at that moment would be twisted indiscriminately!

Above, Ghost Sheep Demon God suddenly pulled out a short blade and said faintly, "My hands are itching. Want to make a bet?"

The short blade was black and red, like a blood-stained night, named — black blood, a broken Divine Artifact.

Lin Wugui raised an eyebrow, thinking, "My son-in-law doesn't seem to have a handy weapon yet, does he?"

"Let's bet on who has more people come out in the end!" Lin Wugui's Storage Ring flashed, and a bottle of dark yellow blood appeared. The liquid was viscous, and one could feel the terrifying power contained within it.

Seventh-tier Royal Blood.

A hint of disdain flashed in Ghost Sheep Demon God's eyes as he said, "You're betting this against my Divine Artifact?"

"How can you even bring that out?"

Lin Wugui scoffed, "Bet or don't bet. Who doesn't know that the black blood weapon is actually very ordinary?"

Seeing Lin Wugui about to put the essence blood back, Ghost Sheep Demon God immediately snorted, saying, "I'll bet!"

At this moment, both of them looked up simultaneously, as the spatial vortex had completely formed. Ghost Sheep Demon God stood on his tiptoes and loudly declared, "You may enter!"

"Remember, every Human Race head is a substantial battle merit!"

The sound reached the ears of the two hundred young Geniuses, and all the foreign races were incredibly excited.

Lin Wugui was not to be outdone, stating calmly, "Kill one foreign race, and receive a bottle of essence blood!"

Instantly, Ghost Sheep Demon God and Lin Wugui met each other's gaze, and Killing Intent began to rise.

On the other side, Xiao Fan held Lin Xianhuo's arm and stepped into the spatial vortex, entering the Fire Flame Secret Realm!

It was a random teleportation, but holding hands allowed them to stay together. Lin Lianshen chose to act separately from them, fearing that the acquired resources might not be distributed fairly!

In Lin Lianshen's eyes, his brother-in-law's strength was… acceptable; protecting his sister would not be an issue!

Upon entering, Xiao Fan's first sensation was a single word — hot.

He instantly broke out in sweat all over, unable to wipe it away. As far as the eye could see, there were fireballs of all sizes, surging and erupting; getting splashed would be disastrous.

"Are you hot?" Xiao Fan looked at Lin Xianhuo with concern, but Lin Xianhuo had a sweet smile on her face, completely devoid of sweat: "No, it's very comfortable here!"

"Do you want me to get you a towel to wipe yourself? Wow, you're sweating so much!"

"Alright, no need." Xiao Fan sighed helplessly, lamenting in his heart, "This is talent!"

Then, he activated the Demon Man Scripture to resist the heat invasion.

Next, the two began to search for fire seeds, which were fire element powers that could be absorbed into the body!

However, they couldn't just absorb any fire, as each person could only absorb one type of flame; this was essentially an ironclad rule!

Lin Xianhuo was still only using ordinary flames because she was waiting for a particularly powerful fire seed; otherwise, it would be a pure waste!

But at this moment.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for activating the elemental Fusion mechanism. The absorbed elemental attributes can be fused, but only for the same element!"

Hearing this sound, Xiao Fan wanted to laugh.

This System is getting better and better!

At this moment, Lin Xianhuo suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, "Fan Fan, I sense a fire seed over there. Shall we go take a look?"

"Let's go!" Xiao Fan did not hesitate.

Soon, the two arrived before the fire seed, which Xiao Fan, being well-read, immediately recognized.

"Ground Fire Seed, Rarity One Star, Strength One Star."

It was the lowest tier, but he would absorb it anyway!

Xiao Fan walked forward, and Lin Xianhuo asked in surprise, "Fan Fan, are you going to absorb the Ground Fire?"

"Isn't that too wasteful?"

Xiao Fan shook his head, grinning, and said, "I'll tell you a secret: I can fuse elements!"

"Ah?" Lin Xianhuo was shocked, saying, "What do you mean?"

"Does that mean you can absorb several types of flames and then fuse them into something stronger?"

Xiao Fan chuckled, "Smart!"

"Later, I'll help you fuse the strongest fire seed!"

"Wow…" Lin Xianhuo's mouth hung open, her eyes filled with disbelief. How was this ability any different from a cheat?

"Shh, it's a secret, you can't tell anyone!"

"Of course not!" Lin Xianhuo pouted, saying, "This old lady isn't one to blab!"

"Heh." Xiao Fan was in a good mood, hearing the familiar 'old lady' again.

But suddenly, a dark shadow slowly approached from the side!

"Isn't that the Human Race's good-for-nothing?"

Xiao Fan and Lin Xianhuo both turned their heads, only to see two Early Stage, Fourth Tier Demons approaching with wild laughter!

One was Common Blood, and the other was Noble Blood!

The Noble Blood Demon, Sada, was incredibly excited at this moment, saying, "Demon War God's daughter?"

"His son isn't here to protect you?"

"Oh my goodness, my luck is too good, isn't it?!"

He trembled with excitement! If he killed the Demon War God's daughter, that would be an immense battle merit when he returned!

And now, the formidable Undying Fire Lin Lianshen was not here, wasn't that just handing him battle merits?

I truly am a person favored by heaven!

But at this moment, Xiao Fan also grinned and said, "Noble Blood?"

"It seems my luck isn't bad either! After absorbing you, I'll be able to Breakthrough again."

Sada was stunned, feeling as if he had misheard?

"You trash… said you want to absorb me?"

Xiao Fan shrugged, saying, "Don't even think about running away, you can't escape."

Sada was dumbfounded.

Run away?

Me?

I run away?

He suddenly realized that this trashy human… was humiliating him!

Sada completely exploded in rage, roaring, "You dog! I'll make you regret ever coming into this world!!"

As his voice fell, his figure shot up!

P.S.: Woke up early to the sound of renovations, couldn't sleep, so I just got up and wrote a chapter. I'll take a nap at noon and write more in the afternoon!
