57: Set off for the secret realm

"Authentication!"

Lin Xingyu took it for granted.

"You... you're Rank 2??"

Wang Ledian also came to his senses at this moment, looking at Lin Xingyu with a shocked expression.

"Yes, isn't that normal?"

Saying that, Lin Xingyu patted the thousand star gourd at his waist.

"Otherwise, where would I get this?"

"So this is what you Awakened when you advanced in Rank? Then what spirit seed did you absorb when you advanced, that you actually got an SSS Rank one?!"

Wang Ledian slapped his thigh.

He initially thought the thousand star gourd was obtained after using a spirit shaping fruit, but he didn't expect it to be Awakened when he advanced in Rank.

At that time, he was so busy being shocked that he didn't ask for details.

He knew that there was an extremely low probability of re-Awakening a companion spirit seed when absorbing a spirit seed during Rank advancement.

However, that probability was extremely low, even harder than winning a five-million-dollar lottery!

And it required absorbing a particularly rare spirit seed for that situation to occur.

"That day, on the way to the restroom, I picked up a secret realm core. I was just about to advance in Rank, so I devoured it."

Lin Xingyu nodded, telling them the truth.

They were all his Apostles, so there was no need to hide anything.

"This... this..."

Wang Ledian's mouth hung open, and he couldn't speak coherently.

It was the first time he heard that a secret realm core could be devoured. Could this thing be used for Rank advancement?

Besides, this was too extravagant!

When others obtained a secret realm core, they would carefully refine it to use as their future base camp.

That was an endless source of resources, an absolutely safe sanctuary.

Without the permission of the Secret Realm owner, no one could enter without authorization.

Of course, if the person who refined the secret realm core died, the Secret Realm would become ownerless.

The secret realm core would also be taken by others and re-refined.

During this time, the Three-Eyed Clan's Emperor's son was very popular precisely because he had refined a secret realm core.

Many people were looking for him, wanting to kill him and seize his treasure.

"Brother Xingyu, did you get rid of the Trial Secret Realm?"

Wang Chiyao also came to her senses, looking at Lin Xingyu with a shocked expression.

It turned out that Lin Xingyu had quietly done such a big thing!!

Now the internet was abuzz, saying that the World Purifying Society had done it.

However, this was also good. With the World Purifying Society as scapegoats, it saved Lin Xingyu a lot of trouble.

"Yes, by chance."

Lin Xingyu nodded, straddling the phantom motorcycle.

"Alright, I'll go ahead. See you at the city gate later."

After speaking, he started the motorcycle and drove towards the Evolver Center.

Leaving the others to wildly speculate... Lin Xingyu's speed was very fast, and he soon arrived at the Evolver Center.

Looking at the sparse crowd in the hall, he felt a bit emotional.

The last time he came was a few days ago, when he had just Awakened.

But now, he was already a Rank 2 Evolver.

There weren't as many people today, so it was his turn quickly.

"Hello, I want to undergo Rank 2 verification."

Saying that, he handed over his wristband.

"Okay, please wait."

The staff member subconsciously took the wristband and placed it on the scanning device.

"Lin Xingyu, 18 years old..."

The staff member suddenly looked up at Lin Xingyu.

Only 18 years old, just participated in the Spirit Awakening Ritual, and how many days had passed since then?

He had already reached Rank 2?

...The staff member had high professionalism, suppressing the shock in her heart and continuing her work.

After a series of verifications, Lin Xingyu successfully replaced his wristband with a Rank 2 one, unlocking more permissions.

Watching Lin Xingyu's departing back, the staff member's heart remained restless for a long time.

She had Cultivated for a full four years to reach Rank 2.

And Lin Xingyu only took a few days.

Was this the gap between ordinary people and a Genius?

...At the city gate.

When Lin Xingyu arrived, Wang Ledian and the other two were already waiting there.

"Why are all of you on phantom motorcycles?"

Looking at the three of them, all riding identical phantom motorcycles, Lin Xingyu was a bit speechless.

With so many identical motorcycles, he felt his coolness factor had dropped significantly.

"Haha, Brother Yu, you don't know yet? The phantom motorcycle is a hot commodity now, everyone is scrambling to buy them."

Wang Ledian patted the motorcycle he was sitting on, laughing heartily.

"Speaking of which, this has something to do with you, Brother Yu!"

"Related to me?"

Lin Xingyu pointed to himself, a bit confused.

"That's right, someone filmed you riding a phantom motorcycle and posted it online, now it's gone viral!"

"Mainly because you, Brother Yu, are too handsome, captivating a lot of young girls. Those boys also followed suit, directly making the phantom motorcycle popular!"

Wang Ledian opened his wristband, retrieved the relevant information, and sent it to Lin Xingyu.

Now there were phantom motorcycles everywhere on the streets.

Because the original version was too expensive, many people chose the simplified version, as long as the appearance was the same!

Performance and such were not important!

Lin Xingyu opened his wristband and indeed saw a lot of information, many of which were his photos.

"I lost out! I need to go find that old guy Rong Yue and demand advertising fees!"

With the phantom motorcycle's explosion in popularity, that fellow Rong Yue must have made a fortune.

He now suspected that the guy did it on purpose.

What, trading wine for a motorcycle?

This was all a scheme!

He just wanted him to advertise for him!

..."Boss, let's take on some missions. We can earn points too!"

Li Hongyang suggested.

"Yes, yes, yes, take on some missions. While grinding monsters, we can also earn points!"

The few of them quickly opened the Starfall Academy official website and entered the mission hall.

Upon entering the mission hall, a dense list of missions appeared before their eyes.

"[Eliminate the wolf pack in Secret Realm E-4399, reward 50 points/per wolf.]"

"[Explore the Misty Forest in Secret Realm E-4399, search for the missing expedition team, reward 800 points.]"

"[Collect rare Spirit Medicine in the Spirit Medicine Valley of Secret Realm E-3527, reward 700 points.]"

...Lin Xingyu browsed the mission list and found that most of them were missions in E-Rank Secret Realms.

It seemed the System prioritized recommending missions based on their Rank.

There were a total of 5 Secret Realms near Starfall City: one B-Rank, one C-Rank, one D-Rank, and two E-Rank.

Previously, there were a total of 6, including an F-Rank, which was the Trial Secret Realm.

But now it was gone.

They specifically chose missions that involved repeatedly killing monsters.

There was no penalty for not completing such missions, so they just accepted them casually!

After accepting the missions, everyone straddled their phantom motorcycles and headed towards Secret Realm No. 4399.

"Boom—Rumble—!"

A deafening roar almost shook Lin Xingyu off his motorcycle.

He looked back and saw Wang Ledian's motorcycle emitting a thunderous roar, its body flashing with colorful lights.

This thing even came with BGM?!

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin Xingyu directly used the star ray shuttle to destroy the sound and light components on Wang Ledian's motorcycle.

The world finally returned to silence... Shortly after they left, a dark figure quietly emerged from the grass outside Starfall City.

The person whispered into their wristband:

"Target has left Starfall City!"

A deep voice came from the wristband:

"Keep a close eye on him, don't let them discover you. If there's an Opportunity, act immediately!"

"Understood!"

The dark figure responded and then disappeared into the grass, as if it had never appeared...
