177: What exactly is inside the Temple of Eternal Radiance?

Of course, Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength's group of over a dozen people walked together, and their individual strength was quite formidable among the Freshmen. They also had a high reputation within the Freshmen community... Their passage naturally attracted the attention of many Freshmen.

Especially since the direction they were heading was the same direction Qin Yu had come from earlier.

Along the way, most people had already learned that Qin Yu, who had been missing for two days, had reappeared and was currently on his way to cause trouble for their group.

Therefore, when they saw Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength's group emerge from the central area, all looking displeased and gloomy.

These people immediately knew... Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength's group had definitely lost!

They had been defeated by Qin Yu!

Otherwise, Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength would not have voluntarily withdrawn from the central area!

Upon realizing this, countless Freshmen who had been driven away by them felt a mix of relief and immense shock!

"No way, Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength's group has already retreated from the central area?"

"Could it really be that Qin Yu drove them out?"

"This... most likely, yes. Didn't you see? When they passed by just now, every single one of them looked as if their parents had died. If they hadn't suffered a setback, how could they have such expressions?"

"That's true, but... it's too incredible, isn't it? Is Qin Yu really that strong?"

...Besides their astonishment, some Freshmen who had originally planned to follow Qin Yu's direction beat their chests in regret, feeling as though they had missed a grand spectacle:

"Sigh! What a pity, what a shame. Our speed was just too slow, otherwise, we would have seen what happened!"

"Indeed, damn it, this loss is huge!"

"Ahhh, you can say that again!"

"…"

These discussions naturally did not escape the ears of Chi Tianlin's group!

Immediately, the expressions of Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength's group grew even worse!

However, in the end... Chi Tianlin did not bother them.

After all, no matter what, they were all classmates from the same school.

For the next four years, they would be under the same roof. Before this, their forceful expulsion of these people had already incurred public wrath. If they were to resort to violence now just because of a few remarks from these people.

He would completely offend the majority of Freshmen!

Therefore, regarding these discussions, Chi Tianlin's group could only turn a blind eye, their faces extremely grim, and they walked even faster... On the other side, with the super-speed boost of the heavy mechanical power limbs, a clear destination, and no Radiant Beasts along the way posing a threat to Qin Yu.

In less than two hours... Qin Yu had already brought Nie Yuxi and Ning Qianqian to the central area of the Foul Miasma Swamp.

As everyone finally reunited.

Except for Nie Yuxi, whose expression remained cold, Ning Qianqian, Su Yuqing, and Li Qiming were all very happy.

"Wow! Sister Yuqing, we've finally reunited! Great God Qin Yu told me that you and Big Brother Li were driven away by Chi Tianlin and his group several times these past two days!"

Ning Qianqian was the most outgoing. After jumping down from under Qin Yu's arm, she immediately went up to Su Yuqing and Li Qiming to greet them.

When she spoke of the actions of Chi Tianlin and Fierce Strength's group.

She was even more indignant: "Those people are really too much. Those who don't know might think this secret realm was conquered by their family."

"They even want to directly occupy the entire central area? They're dreaming!"

As for Ning Qianqian's outgoing nature, Su Yuqing and Li Qiming naturally responded with enthusiasm!

Su Yuqing first glanced at the cold Nie Yuxi beside her, then smiled and said to Ning Qianqian:

"Yes, fortunately, Qin Yu is so strong. Just by standing there, he scared Chi Tianlin and those people away. Otherwise, they really would have succeeded."

"Hahaha, Great God Qin Yu is indeed Great God Qin Yu, the idol of all of us Jiangzhou people!"

"…"

Before this, although Nie Yuxi, Ning Qianqian, Su Yuqing, and Li Qiming didn't know each other.

However, with Ning Qianqian and Su Yuqing present—one outgoing, the other from Kyoto with impeccable social etiquette—after just a few minutes of small talk.

The atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

At this point, the team Qin Yu had assembled before entering the secret realm was officially gathered!

And the next thing to do, naturally, was only one... to hunt Radiant Beasts!!

Although, with Qin Yu's help, all four of them had absorbed shining beast essence to the maximum value for their current level.

However, the Freshman Assessment's criteria were not based on how much shining beast essence was absorbed, but on the actual number of Radiant Beasts killed!

Therefore, after a brief reunion, everyone except Qin Yu... the four of them did not stop for a moment. They immediately teamed up and threw themselves into the action of hunting Radiant Beasts.

Of course, this team-up naturally could not include Qin Yu.

After all, if hunting a level 20-something Radiant Beast still required Qin Yu to intervene, then this Freshman Assessment and practical training would be meaningless.

And Qin Yu was naturally pleased about this.

While following near the four of them, escorting them, he also occasionally hunted two Radiant Beasts himself to boost his kill record.

It must be said that Nie Yuxi, Su Yuqing, and Li Qiming were indeed all prodigies of SSS-rank Professions!

Although they were slightly overshadowed in front of Qin Yu.

However, among all the Freshmen, their combined strength... was absolutely top-tier!

Working together, in just a few short hours, they successfully hunted a Radiant Beast that was over level 28, exceeding their own level!

This scene even surprised Qin Yu, who was observing from the side.

After all, as the saying goes, Radiant Beasts are not like the demon seeds outside.

A level 28 Radiant Beast, if it were a demon seed... would be at least level 37 or higher.

Yet, even so, it was still forcefully killed by Nie Yuxi, Su Yuqing, and Li Qiming!

Of course, although Ning Qianqian had a huge gap in energy level compared to the other three.

However, relying on the flexibility of her space-type talent.

Her role could not be ignored!

And Qin Yu, seeing that the four of them, gathered together, could easily complete the Freshman Assessment requirements without his intervention.

Qin Yu immediately stopped focusing all his attention on the four of them.

Instead, he began to ponder what exactly was inside the Yongyao Divine Hall in the center of the secret realm!

Why both Xiao Hefeng and the mysterious level 179 expert he had encountered earlier in the Ancient Ruins Area told him... to definitely go and take a look at the Yongyao Divine Hall.
