81: Chapter 81 Land of Inheritance

"Ring Master Chen Moxuan defeated challenger Tian Gai, obtaining all 630 points in his possession."

"Ring Master Chen Moxuan defeated challenger Guo Xuan'an, obtaining all 810 points in his possession."

"Ring Master Chen Moxuan defeated challenger Hao Yong, obtaining all 540 points in his possession."

...

"Ring Master Chen Moxuan defeated challenger Yang Qingfeng, obtaining all 1080 points in his possession."

Thirty-seven messages flashed by continuously; Chen Moxuan's score had now reached a terrifying 52,600 points.

And his ranking had directly soared to third place.

"Still not first?" Chen Moxuan couldn't help but click his tongue.

Although he was effectively a whole day behind in progress, the sum of everyone else's points still only put him in third place.

The first and second place holders were definitely something else.

"Big Boss is awesome! Holy crap, I'm stunned!"

In the spectator seats, Ding Run, who had been sitting alone, suddenly stood up and shouted excitedly.

Looking back at the entire process of Chen Moxuan setting up the ring, a total of forty-seven challengers had taken the stage.

Among these challengers, only two had originally been ranked below Ding Run, while the other forty-five were all ranked ahead of him.

Now, Chen Moxuan had taken all the points from these challengers.

Ding Run's ranking had also skyrocketed like a rocket, leaping forward by forty-five places.

Moreover, most of these people were strong contenders expected to make it into the top one hundred.

With their elimination, the pressure on Ding Run to break into the top one hundred was significantly reduced.

He was in a great mood and said with a touch of exaggeration:

"Big Boss's combat power is Heaven-Defying! My admiration for Big Boss is like a surging river, continuous and endless."

Chen Moxuan looked at Ding Run, who was beaming with smiles below the stage, raised an eyebrow slightly, and asked:

"Aren't you coming up?"

Ding Run shuddered violently. He suddenly realized that he was in the spectator seats.

Did that... count as a challenger?

But soon, Chen Moxuan smiled slightly and chose to disperse the ring.

The ring transformed into particles and dissipated without a trace, leaving only a huge crater in its place.

Ding Run breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead:

"Big Boss, you really know how to joke..."

He had almost been scared to death!

Ding Run also suddenly realized that while his idea of having Chen Moxuan act as his muscle was good, if he had encountered someone ruthless and without a bottom line today, they would have finished him off right after using the items he provided.

He would have had absolutely no way to stop it.

When one's strength is inferior, the power of life and death lies entirely in the hands of others. Relying on someone else's moral compass to spare oneself was truly unrealistic.

It wasn't that Chen Moxuan hadn't thought about simply taking all of Ding Run's points as well.

It was just that he had clear and definite principles for his actions; what he should do and what he should not do would not change based on the power he possessed.

If one were to be timid towards the strong because their own power was weak, and then turn to wantonly bully the weak once they became powerful, they would ultimately just become a slave to power.

Ding Run understood in his heart at that moment that this Big Boss before him was not only a thigh to be held onto tightly but also someone worth befriending.

He asked: "Big Boss, are you planning to head directly to the Strange Beast Forest next?"

Chen Moxuan nodded.

With his current ranking and score, there was no point in going to other areas.

The Strange Beast Forest was the largest area in the entire Secret Realm and also the area where resources were concentrated.

Moreover, the Spirit Gathering Pool was located behind the Strange Beast Forest.

Although one could take a detour through other areas, the straight path through the Strange Beast Forest was obviously the shortest route.

He planned to head straight to the Spirit Gathering Pool and leave the Secret Realm after soaking in it.

"I stayed in the Strange Beast Forest for a while before, but I didn't dare to go too deep before turning back. However, I did manage to get some intelligence, which, along with some unspoken rules within the Secret Realm, has been recorded in this booklet."

As he spoke, Ding Run took out a booklet with a bone fragment tucked inside.

"I picked this up by chance on the road before. It's of no use to me, so I'll give it to you, Big Boss."

Chen Moxuan looked at the bone fragment. The information on it appeared in his mind instantly; it was clearly an object from the Secret Realm.

"Fragment of the Key to the Land of Inheritance"

"Collect three fragments to synthesize the complete key to enter the Land of Inheritance."

"Land of Inheritance?" Chen Moxuan looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

Regarding this, Ding Run's expression became exceptionally solemn as he explained:

"Besides being an assessment site, this Spirit Gathering Secret Realm contains many Opportunities, and the greatest Opportunity is this Land of Inheritance."

"It is said that it holds the Legacy of the owner of this Spirit Gathering Secret Realm, who was a supreme Martial Artist."

A supreme Martial Artist is a title only those who have reached the pinnacle of the Human Race's martial arts system can obtain.

Even in the Superpower World, although the history of human martial arts has been greatly diluted, traces of supreme Martial Artists still appear whenever it is mentioned.

And here, since the Third Great War of Ten Thousand Races, the Human Race has not produced a supreme Martial Artist for a long time.

There was actually a Legacy of a supreme Martial Artist here?!

"Such a valuable thing, and you're just giving it to me so easily?" Chen Moxuan was a bit surprised.

Ding Run waved his hand and said nonchalantly:

"When the Secret Realm opened in previous times, others had obtained such fragments, but to this day, no one has been able to collect all three."

"I don't expect to collect the fragments anyway. Since we've met, I might as well give it to you, Big Boss, to make a friend."

Chen Moxuan took the booklet and the bone fragment and said to Ding Run:

"Don't call me 'Big Boss'. It makes me feel uncomfortable. Just call me by my name."

When Ding Run heard this, he laughed heartily and cupped his fists in the salute of a Martial Artist:

"Alright, Brother Chen! I plan to go to other areas to try my luck. Let's part ways here."

"If you can eliminate some more opponents ranked ahead of me while in the Strange Beast Forest, that would be even better."

Chen Moxuan also responded with a cupped-fist salute:

"Farewell."

"If you have the chance after getting out, you are welcome to come to Yunchuan Martial Arts University to find me. Just report the name Ding Run inside the school, and I guarantee you'll have smooth sailing!"

Ding Run laughed, turned around, and swaggered away from the place.

The people at Luanshi Slope had all been wiped out by Chen Moxuan, so there was naturally no need to be cautious.

Chen Moxuan quickly finished reading the manual Ding Run had given him and put it away along with the bone fragment into the taichu golden mirror.

Then, he silently called out the Secret Realm rule commands in his heart and pulled up the Secret Realm area map to compare it carefully.

After identifying the direction, he ran rapidly towards the Strange Beast Forest.

Running at full speed, he arrived at the edge of the Luanshi Slope area after about ten minutes.

The moment he stepped past the edge, a Secret Realm message appeared before his eyes.

"Beginning calculation of Luanshi Slope kill count rewards."

"Your kill count is fifty, obtaining 100x50x5.0 points, totaling 25,000 points."

Seeing this message, Chen Moxuan's footsteps faltered.

He had been too engrossed in the fighting in the ring and had almost forgotten about this.

Counting the three he had taken care of at the beginning and the forty-seven challengers from the ring, he had indeed killed a total of fifty people.

Now, with this batch of points settled, his ranking leaped directly to first place.

Immediately after, another message appeared before his eyes.

"You have eliminated fifty people by your own strength, breaking the single-player kill count record of previous Spirit Gathering Secret Realm sessions, achieving the hidden achievement: Peerless Valor."

"Reward obtained: Fragment of the Key to the Land of Inheritance."

As light flickered, a uniquely shaped bone fragment condensed out of thin air in front of Chen Moxuan and floated slowly into his palm.

Chen Moxuan stared at the bone fragment in his hand, momentarily stunned.

He originally had no intention of looking for this so-called Land of Inheritance, and before this, he hadn't even heard of it.

But now, first Ding Run gave him one piece, and then a second piece had arrived in such an unexpected way.

It was as if this bone fragment had grown legs and was determined to run into his hands.

Wasn't it said that no one had ever collected all three?
