99: Chapter 99 The Mysterious Area!!

"Great! With these academic credits, maybe I can try to push my 'Rock Art' to the Perfection realm!"

"The rewards from Mechanism Alley are too tempting; I need to study them carefully!"

"The Secret Realm Tower... I wonder how many floors I can break through?"

For a moment, the atmosphere in the classroom became heated.

Everyone was rubbing their palms together, eager to give it a try.

Before long, the morning's cultural studies tutor walked into the classroom.

The students only then managed to suppress their inner excitement and threw themselves into the study of theoretical courses.

They also knew that a solid theoretical foundation was an indispensable part of powerful strength.

After the two-hour course ended, the bell for the end of class rang.

"Wangshu, Little Junior Brother!

Let's go, let's go! Let's head over to the Secret Realm Tower and take a look right now!"

Lu Youyou jumped up from her seat almost immediately.

Her face was overflowing with impatient excitement.

"I can't wait to break through it and see just how miraculous this tower actually is!"

"I had the same thought."

Qin Yan nodded and agreed with a smile; his heart was likewise full of anticipation.

Although Xiao Wangshu didn't speak, she gave a slight nod.

A trace of investigative curiosity also flickered through her cold eyes.

She remembered her grandfather once mentioning by chance that even with his cultivation as an eighth-rank Great Grandmaster...

Back then, he had failed to break through the eighty-first floor of this Secret Realm Tower.

This had sparked a deep interest in her regarding this tower.

She really wanted to experience it for herself and see exactly what was so miraculous about it.

Following the navigation on their smart bracelets, the three of them walked toward the Secret Realm Tower located in the south district of Modu University of Martial Arts.

It wasn't just them; more than half the students in the class had made the same choice.

Everyone wanted to personally experience this mysterious Secret Realm Tower.

At the same time, they wanted to get their first generous academic credits reward as soon as possible.

The security in the area where the Secret Realm Tower was located was far stricter than they had imagined.

They passed through several laser scans that required identity verification.

After going through a strict inspection and registration by the guards at the entrance...

Only then were they able to enter this special area classified as a restricted school zone.

"The security procedures here are so strict; it feels even more troublesome than entering the school archives."

A student muttered softly.

"The stricter it is, the more it shows that the importance of this place is extraordinary!"

Someone nearby immediately responded.

After Qin Yan and the other two followed the crowd through the final alloy gate, the scene before them suddenly opened up.

What appeared before them was an extremely vast and special area.

However, in stark contrast to this massive area...

The buildings here were few and far between, and their designs were all extremely bizarre, definitely not ordinary structures.

In the distance, a giant bell dozens of meters tall and cast entirely of bronze stood quietly.

Countless complex and ancient runes were engraved on the body of the bell.

It faintly emitted palpitations-inducing fluctuations;

Beside it was a pyramid-shaped building constructed entirely of crystal-clear ice.

It gave off a piercing cold air, and the surrounding atmosphere seemed frozen.

Further away, there was also a labyrinth that constantly twisted and changed as if made of pure light and shadow, as well as a giant metal sphere suspended in mid-air, slowly rotating...

In front of these strangely shaped buildings...

At least one tutor with a profound aura and eyes like lightning sat cross-legged or stood solemnly on guard.

The energy fluctuations they emitted were obscure and hard to decipher, but they were undoubtedly powerful masters.

And at the deepest part of this collection of bizarre buildings was a daunting hundred-meter-high wall!

The wall was cast as a single piece from some unknown dark-black metal.

Under the autumn sun, it reflected a cold and hard metallic luster.

The surface was smooth as a mirror, with almost no visible seams.

The high wall towered majestically, as if completely cutting off everything behind it.

Qin Yan focused his hearing and could faintly hear from behind the high wall...

The sound of waves crashing against the shore like ten thousand galloping horses.

Amidst it, there seemed to be the clashing of metal, the rumbling of blood and qi, and collective shouts like the howling of a mountain tsunami.

It was as if thousands of troops were training behind the wall!

"What kind of place is behind that high wall?"

A particularly curious student couldn't help but take a few steps closer toward the high wall, wanting to hear more clearly.

However, he had only just taken a few steps.

A burly figure like an iron tower appeared before him like a ghost, blocking his path.

This was a soldier completely covered in dark-red battle armor, with even his face shrouded by a helmet.

He held a long halberd that emitted a dense baleful aura.

His voice came through the visor, carrying an unquestionable authority and coldness:

"Forbidden area ahead. No passage without permission!"

Before the words even faded, a majestic blood-qi pressure as heavy as a mountain swept over like a tide.

The student's face turned pale.

He felt his breath hitch and involuntarily stumbled back several steps.

Only after barely steadying himself was his face filled with shock.

Just then, a gentle yet incomparably clear voice...

Like a spring breeze brushing over the water's surface, it rang directly in every student's mind:

"Children, that is not a place you should go right now. Come to me."

Everyone instinctively looked behind them.

They saw that several hundred meters away, in front of a simple and majestic giant tower...

At some point, a refined young man in a green robe, looking to be only about thirty years old, had appeared.

He had a warm smile on his face and was nodding slightly in their direction.

"What level of strength is this?!"

Qin Yan's heart shook violently.

From such a great distance, he could actually transmit his voice so precisely into each of their minds at the same time.

And it didn't affect anyone else around them in the slightest!

"This is spirit transmission."

Lu Youyou had obviously heard the transmission as well and explained softly to Qin Yan.

"To be able to do this so effortlessly, this person's cultivation has reached at least the sixth-rank level!"

spirit again!

Whenever Qin Yan heard this word now, he felt a bit of a headache.

The panel clearly stated that the prerequisite for unlocking the Second-Grade Alchemist profession was for his spirit to reach 7 Hz.

But he was currently only at 5.2 Hz; he had experienced firsthand the difficulty of increasing spirit.

"However, it shouldn't be a big problem."

He thought about it and regained his confidence.

"In the alchemy inheritance I received, several Pill Formulas capable of increasing spirit are recorded.

I just don't know to what height I can eventually stack my spirit by relying on these pills."

The crowd no longer hesitated and headed toward the direction of the green-robed tutor.

"You must be the students of this year's freshman Key Class, right? I am the administrator of the Secret Realm Tower, Jiang Mo."

The green-robed young man, Jiang Mo, looked at the students who had approached, a warm smile on his face.

He stepped aside, revealing the full view of the giant tower behind him, which emitted a vast and ancient aura.
