99: Item synthesis! A fox wants to cultivate immortality?

Outside the Secret Realm entrance, powerhouses from the three major nations were guarding the area.

The people from Hua Xia had gloomy expressions, while those from the two opposing nations were quite cheerful.

Blood King Dracula was waiting for the first person to die and be teleported out, eager to see the faces of Hua Xia's high-ranking officials and powerhouses; the thought alone brought him joy.

At this moment, there was a stir at the Secret Realm teleportation gate.

A mangled corpse was teleported out.

Seeing this tragic sight, Dracula was overjoyed.

Several girls from Hua Xia couldn't bear to look and covered their mouths, but someone suddenly looked at the corpse strangely:

“This looks like the shorts style of the Free Empire?”

Why identify someone by their shorts?

Because the upper half of the corpse was almost completely blown apart, making it unrecognizable.

Moreover, all of their equipment had been stripped clean, leaving only their underwear and shorts.

If it weren't for the fact that underwear and shorts had no attributes, they probably wouldn't have escaped the clutches of evil.

Hearing this question, the expressions of the Lionheart Kingdom and Free Empire changed, and they all stepped forward to examine it closely:

“How is this possible! The first one to die is actually Verland!”

The person mentioned by the Free Empire's high-ranking official was precisely that one-eyed man.

Dracula's face immediately changed drastically, and he was extremely displeased:

“With such a huge numerical advantage, and a planned encirclement already set, they still managed to get killed?”

“Arthur, your Free Empire is truly becoming more and more useless!”

Seeing that the first one to die was not from Hua Xia, Dracula's mood worsened considerably.

On the other hand, Hua Xia collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was scolded, the facts were laid bare, and Knight King Arthur could only say indignantly:

“Hmph, it’s just a matter of luck. Verland encountered an unstoppable Secret Realm Boss; that’s perfectly normal!”

Dracula snorted disdainfully.

But at this moment, there was another stir in the Secret Realm.

This time, three corpses were teleported out!

Similarly, their entire bodies were stripped clean…

“Eh? This time, the shorts style seems to be from the Lionheart side…” the Hua Xia people couldn't help but speculate.

At this moment, Dracula's expression changed dramatically.

He stepped forward, looking at the three teleported individuals in disbelief, “This, how is this possible! How could so many people die one after another!”

“And where did all their equipment go!?”

Arthur of the Free Empire, seeing this, sneered in response, “We just had bad luck and lost one person; you lost three at once, tsk tsk…”

The Lionheart Kingdom and the Free Empire were already at odds, and now that there was an opportunity for mockery, they certainly wouldn't let it go.

Dracula gritted his teeth, “So what! Our advantage is still huge!”

Now, the two nations that originally held a significant advantage in Secret Realm slots suffered considerable losses.

On the other hand, the Hua Xia side, while feeling relieved, was also a bit bewildered.

“What exactly happened in this Secret Realm?”

“Could it be that the Secret Realm Boss is particularly strong?”

“Then aren’t our people in danger too!”

As everyone discussed, only Wu Ming stared at the people who had been stripped of their equipment, deep in thought…

This method of snatching equipment felt familiar somehow…

…

Inside the Secret Realm.

With tens of thousands of experience points from the three Lionheart Kingdom individuals credited, Ye Ze's experience bar rose to 80%!

It was a pity, though, that none of these three were Fourth-Tier Summoner-type professions; otherwise, he could have completed his advancement quest as well.

However, fortunately, there were quite a few Fourth-Tier individuals throughout the entire Secret Realm, so the probability of completing the advancement was still very high.

Afterward, Ye Ze looked back at the Boss, Rocky Spirit King.

“Actually, those three alone wouldn’t have been able to defeat the Rocky Spirit King.”

“The Stone King, like the Stone Golems, has the special effect of splitting after death, making it increasingly difficult to fight…”

“By killing them, I suppose I saved them some time… I really am kind!”

Ye Ze waved his hand, and Panda and Mantis both charged at the Boss.

The Rocky Spirit King, having just exited its fear state, once again brought its hammer-like hands crashing down.

Facing this mighty blow, Panda neither dodged nor flinched. With his greatly increased attributes, he could win in a head-on confrontation without activating his domain!

Two fists collided with a 'boom' that reverberated.

The Rocky Spirit King's stone fist shattered.

When it had just fought the three Lionheart Kingdom professionals, they had hastily dodged this attack.

But now, facing a Panda in a direct confrontation, the Rocky Spirit King felt somewhat unaccustomed.

The problem was, the Stone King, renowned for its strength, couldn't even win a direct clash!

This was normal, of course. With five Legendary-grade pieces of equipment all over its body, Panda was already in a terrifying state when clashing head-on.

Panda struck out with two more palms, [Tai Chi - Double Peaks Piercing Ears]!

This attack did not incorporate Martial Saint Aura, because the goal was to severely wound the Stone King, not to make it split, as Panda did not have a resurrection-preventing effect like Death Verdict.

For the final blow, Mantis in the void unleashed a single slash, and the Rocky Spirit King shattered and was Annihilated, until it turned into nothingness.

[Killed Rocky Spirit King, gained experience +20000 (+100%)!]

[Ding! Your level has increased to: Level 22!]

[Infinite Gold Entry - You have gained one draw chance!]

The Boss Rocky Spirit King dropped a whopping 50 lotus petals!

Ye Ze checked the map; the treasure exchange point on this floor wasn't far, so he could go check what could be exchanged later.

He collected the petals, then began the entry draw!

The twenty-second entry…

This time, surrounded by a sea of golden entries, Ye Ze actively reached out:

[You have drawn a Golden Legendary-grade Entry: Tao Without Boundaries!]

[Tao Without Boundaries: Freely mobilize the power of heaven and earth, allowing cultivation of Taoist methods or enhancement of spell skill effects using natural power.]

Seeing this entry, Ye Ze was stunned, “What does this mean?”

It sounded like it had some connection to Taoism, or even cultivation, from his previous life.

But he had never understood the specifics.

However, the next prompt made him even more bewildered.

[Detected combinable entries!]

[“Element Lord” + “Psionic Controller” + “Tao Without Boundaries” (Combinable!)]

“These three entries…” Ye Ze couldn't help but feel curious.

Element Lord was about controlling various elements.

Psionic Controller was about advanced control of mental power.

And Tao Without Boundaries was about controlling the power of heaven and earth…

What would these three combine into?

Although he was puzzled, it didn't stop Ye Ze from proceeding… Combine immediately!

Since they were top-tier Legendary entries, they certainly wouldn't be worse than ordinary Legendary ones.

[Successfully combined into Golden Legendary · Top-tier Entry: Tao Without Boundaries!]

[Tao Without Boundaries: Master the methods of Immortality, capable of casting various spells and Immortal arts.]

“What the hell?” Ye Ze was shocked.

Immortal arts?

He never expected that there was such a thing as cultivation.

In that case… “Does this mean the Fox is going to cultivate to Immortality?”

Fox Fairy?

And the prompt below confirmed Ye Ze's thoughts.

Because the first two entries were on the Fox, the third entry naturally combined on the Fox as well:

[Summoned Beast: Three-Tailed Fox (Legendary ★☆)晉升→Fox Fairy - Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox (Legendary ★★★★★)!]

Before Ye Ze could even be shocked that it had gained three stars.

The little Fox he had been carrying suddenly went from three tails to six tails.

Then the little Fox's fur began to emit white light!

The ball of white light enveloping the little Fox began to grow taller, then taller still, finally gradually transforming into a human figure…

The white light flashed.

Before him appeared an enchanting beauty, with silver-white hair flowing over her shoulders, light golden Fox eyes that were nimble and cunning, exquisite features, and skin like snow.

A gorgeous, silky long dress draped over her chest perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure, and her long legs appeared slender and fair beneath the hem of the skirt, while behind her were six soft, snowy white Fox tails.

It was a rather bewitching beauty.

“Master~!”

The little Fox, no, now the big Fox, pounced straight towards Ye Ze.

It seemed that after transforming into a Six-Tailed Fox, the Fox's originally somewhat clear and sweet voice gained a touch of an older, more mature woman's tone.

The Fox hooked her hands around Ye Ze's neck, blinking her eyes and smiling playfully at Ye Ze, “Master?”

Ye Ze felt the surging impact of the soft body against him and hesitated, “Fox Fairy, you…”

“Why are you wearing clothes?”

Don't misunderstand, as a proper gentleman, this question was purely out of curiosity…

After all, in her Fox form, she didn't wear clothes.

The Fox Fairy froze for a moment, then a seductive smile appeared on her face. She leaned close to Ye Ze's ear, just about to speak when…

A familiar spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared behind Ye Ze.

Liu Anran looked at Ye Ze before her, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

How did this look like there was any danger?

Liu Anran couldn't help but hesitate:

“Am I… coming at a bad time?”

Ye Ze: “No, you’ve come at just the right time!”
