195: The tether token, the first encounter with the Primordial Beast

“This time, there are two more little ones. The three of you have a tough mission.”

On the other side, Second-Level Professor Zhou Zhihong’s gaze fixed on Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin, and he said softly.

They didn't know Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin. Guarding a Secret Realm was no small matter. The two Second-Level Professors had been here for two years, never stepping out of the Secret Realm Building.

They hadn't even left this position.

Guarding the Secret Realm entrance, Zhanfeng University rotates every three years. They began guarding here two years ago at the start of the academic year, and Guan Yongye and Zhou Zhihong will only be able to leave next year.

Not just the Secret Realm No. 20 entrance, but the Secret Realm entrances on the upper floors also have professor-level powerhouses guarding them.

From Secret Realm No. 20 to Secret Realm No. 1, each force has its own exclusive Secret Realm entrance and exit. This is a secret of the force and cannot be divulged.

It is no longer like Secret Realm No. 39 to Secret Realm No. 21, which only had fixed Secret Realm entrances and exits.

From Secret Realm No. 20 onwards, it's also no longer like before, where people enter the Secret Realm together and then disperse.

The Secret Realm exit exclusive to Zhanfeng University is only known by Qin Liwu, his two fellow students, and other teachers and professors within the university.

This way, there's a small probability that some high-Realm lawbreakers in the Secret Realm might secretly follow students and learn the location of Zhanfeng University's Secret Realm exit through this method.

The mission of professors like Guan Yongye and Zhou Zhihong is to prevent lawbreakers from invading Zhanfeng University. When they emerge from Zhanfeng University's exclusive exit, they are to be subdued in one strike.

If they dare to come, they will not return.

Therefore, the professors guarding the Secret Realm Building must be constantly on guard against intruders and cannot be careless.

There are also no entertainment activities, making it extremely tedious.

Regarding Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin, the two professors, Guan Yongye, naturally had no knowledge.

“You two, come here. This is the guiding token for Zhanfeng University’s exit.”

“Remember to keep it safe; do not lose it.”

Guan Yongye’s hand flashed, and two exquisite tokens appeared, with the characters ‘Zhan’ and ‘Feng’ carved on their front and back, respectively.

“Secret Realm No. 20 is vast and it’s very easy to get lost. With this guiding token, you can return to Zhanfeng University no matter where you are.”

Zhou Zhihong added.

Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin quickly stepped forward, taking the guiding tokens with both hands.

Then they simultaneously bowed and said, “Thank you, Professor.”

“Since you’re ready, go in. Follow Qin Liwu and the other two; they have experience.”

Guan Yongye said to Su Yuan and the other with a smile.

“Okay, Professor.”

The two nodded, carefully put away their guiding tokens, and walked to Qin Liwu's side.

“Let’s go!”

Qin Liwu stepped into the huge light circle first, then Li Wenmiao and Xu Xiangling pulled Su Yuan and Cousin Xuexin to their sides, entering Secret Realm No. 20 together.

“These two little ones are excessively young. It seems they aren’t third or fourth-year students.”

After the five entered the huge light circle, Guan Yongye frowned slightly and said to Zhou Zhihong.

“Doesn’t this just show that the quality of our Zhanfeng University students is getting higher and higher? Second-year students can enter Secret Realm No. 20. We should be happy.”

Zhou Zhihong grinned.

Guan Yongye nodded slightly: “That’s true.”

“I hope they can quickly adapt to Secret Realm No. 20.”

Neither of them expected Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin to be first-year students who had just entered a Martial Arts University, nor did they even consider that possibility.

They had been guarding the Secret Realm Building for two years and only knew the Martial Arts Examination results from two years ago, so they assumed Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin had entered Zhanfeng University last year... As soon as they entered Secret Realm No. 20, Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin felt a wave of heat.

Heat waves were like walls all around, the air warped into twisted patterns, and as far as the eye could see, there was only scorching sunlight.

This was a place similar to a large forest.

“Secret Realm No. 20 has four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.”

“We are currently in the northeast direction of Secret Realm No. 20.”

“The seasons in the other three directions are spring, autumn, and winter.”

Qin Liwu's expression remained unchanged as he explained to Su Yuan and the other.

Qin Xuexin’s expression subtly changed. This climate was somewhat unfavorable for the Breathing Technique she Cultivated.

But soon, her expression returned to normal. Her ice attribute, strong enough, could cover the heat here.

This place was only Secret Realm No. 20; the heat was not enough to overpower Qin Xuexin's ice attribute power. Moreover, there were places in the Secret Realm suitable for ice attribute power to be unleashed.

“This time, my goal is to kill Eight Hunyuan Beasts.”

Li Wenmiao stood still, pondering for a moment before speaking.

“Then I’ll kill seven.”

Xu Xiangling followed closely, saying.

“I’ll kill fifteen.”

Qin Liwu thought for a moment, then said softly.

In the past, when they came in, they would always set a target number of kills for this trip.

They wouldn't leave the Secret Realm until they achieved their goal.

“The hunyuan beast origin has miraculous effects. When we encounter Primal Chaos Beasts later, we’ll kill them for you to see.”

Qin Liwu looked at Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin and said.

Su Yuan was very curious about the term 'hunyuan beast origin'; his mentor had also mentioned it a few days ago.

What exactly was this thing’s purpose?

Qin Liwu led Su Yuan and the other four slowly towards the south. After walking for fifteen minutes, Qin Liwu stopped.

During this time, the Sixth Realm Initial Stage exotic beasts they encountered were all instantly killed by Xu Xiangling.

Xu Xiangling used a long sword as her weapon, and her swordsmanship was extremely elegant, without losing a sense of power.

“There are three Primal Chaos Beasts nine hundred meters ahead, all at the Sixth Realm Middle Stage.”

Qin Liwu’s eyes revealed a bloody gleam, and his entire demeanor changed.

“Each Primal Chaos Beast possesses one to two innate abilities. Immense Strength, Divine Speed, and Healing are the most basic talents of Primal Chaos Beasts.”

“Primal Chaos Beasts with higher Bloodline concentration possess advanced talents such as Absorption, Stealth, and Melting.”

“As for anything beyond that, we don’t know yet.”

Qin Liwu shifted his gaze forward. Despite countless plants obstructing his view, he could clearly discern the Primal Chaos Beasts' locations and Realms, indicating that Qin Liwu was also extraordinary.

Continuing forward for another six hundred meters, Qin Liwu stopped again.

“Xu Xiangling, you and I will go first. Li Wenmiao, stay here and protect Su Yuan and Cousin Xuexin.”

With that, Li Wenmiao’s eyes became vigilant, and he stood in front of Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin.

Xu Xiangling, holding her long sword, stared ahead with a fierce expression.

At this moment, Su Yuan and Qin Xuexin clearly saw the appearance of the Primal Chaos Beasts.

The Primal Chaos Beasts looked exactly as the mentor had described: three snow-white Primal Chaos Beasts resembling tigers were in the distance.

One of them, a slightly larger Primal Chaos Beast, was facing away from them, crouched on the ground, seemingly tearing at the corpse of an exotic beast, enjoying its meal.

On the other side, two smaller Primal Chaos Beasts lay obediently nearby, not daring to make any movement.

Su Yuan’s eyes narrowed. That large Primal Chaos Beast seemed somewhat off; a faint, persistent pressure emanated around it.

Just as Su Yuan was about to speak a warning, the bloody gleam in Qin Liwu’s eyes intensified, and he whispered to Xu Xiangling.

“Kill!”

Instantly, the two of them moved like lightning, reaching the three Primal Chaos Beasts in a blink of an eye.

Qin Liwu’s weapon was also a long spear. His face was frosty as he thrust his spear at the head of the larger Primal Chaos Beast.

The Primal Chaos Beast’s tiger body tensed, and it turned with terrifying speed, then opened its maw and roared.

“Insignificant humans, you seek death!”
