59: Spirit Network Upgrade

By the time Wang Ledian and the others rushed over, six Shadow Wolves had already been killed.

"Brother Yu, you're cheating!!!"

"Exactly, that's not fair at all!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and steal the kills!"

The group wailed and screamed, but their movements didn't stop for a moment.

Lin Xingyu summoned his Dragon Hawk, allowing it to move freely.

He stood to the side, controlling his star ray shuttle to kill monsters.

He prioritized eliminating the second-tier Shadow Wolves to prevent Wang Ledian and the others from getting injured.

According to the information provided by the System, the World Tree would produce second-tier evolution fruit after devouring second-tier mutated beasts.

The evolution energy contained in second-tier evolution fruit was much higher than that in first-tier ones.

As time passed, the battle quickly ended.

"Phew... finally done!"

Wang Ledian wiped his sweat, letting out a long sigh.

"Quick, let the little tree devour them, see if there are any evolution fruit?"

Wang Chiyao was very excited, urging him repeatedly.

Everyone immediately cleaned up the battlefield, throwing the mutated beast corpses into their Inner World.

As soon as they finished tidying up, they couldn't wait to teleport inside.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"evolution fruit, here I come!"

...

Lin Xingyu also came to the World Tree and began to consume the evolution fruit.

He could now choose to strengthen his genes or improve his Realm, and he chose to improve his Realm.

Since both were improvements, leveling up first was more important!

He would only increase his genetic value when his Realm could no longer be improved.

After consuming the evolution fruit, the System's notification sound rang in his mind again.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for advancing to Rank Two, Two Stars!"

On the other side, Wang Ledian and the others were ecstatic.

"Haha, I've leveled up!!"

Wang Ledian laughed up to the sky, dancing with excitement.

He was simply overjoyed; he had just eaten a few evolution fruit and leveled up.

This was unimaginable before.

He knew that eating evolution fruit could help him level up, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good!

No wonder Lin Xingyu had quietly raised his Rank to Rank Two.

Now he finally understood Lin Xingyu's joy.

"Me too! Me too! I'm full of power now!"

Wang Chiyao was also very happy.

This leveling speed was too terrifying, making her feel a little unreal.

Although Li Hongyang didn't speak, his slightly trembling body betrayed him.

"Let's go, continue killing monsters!"

Wang Ledian roared and teleported out.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"

Wang Chiyao also disappeared from her spot.

Li Hongyang and Lin Xingyu exchanged glances, then followed suit.

Everyone who had teleported outside rushed towards their next target...

Outside Starfall City, World Purifying Society base.

"What, Marquis Lie Hu wants an explanation from us?"

"Are these Mutated Ones' brains full of shit? With so many people to kill, why would we specifically kill Wang Hu?"

Zhou Jin, the person in charge, was furious after hearing his subordinate's report.

"Marquis Lie Hu's attitude is strong, threatening to start a war if we don't give him a satisfactory answer!"

His subordinate replied tremblingly.

"Ignore them, I will apply to headquarters for reinforcements."

After a moment of thought, Zhou Jin decided to ask headquarters for help.

He was currently a favorite in front of headquarters; not to mention a Marquis-level powerhouse, he could even invite a King-level powerhouse.

He truly didn't want to deal with those lunatics from the Barren Alliance.

These guys were all single-minded and extremely emotionally unstable; there was nothing to discuss!

"My subordinate just received news that the top four in the Newcomer Trial have formed a squad and entered Secret Realm No. 4399."

His subordinate nodded, reporting to Zhou Jin again.

"Oh? They have quite a few good things on them; arrange for the Dog Shadow Squad to take them out!"

Zhou Jin became interested upon hearing his subordinate's report.

For this Newcomer Trial, those academies had brought out many good things to reward the top three.

Killing these few people would not only strike a blow against Starfall Academy but also yield many spoils of war.

It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

The Dog Shadow Squad were all canine spirit seeds, with keen senses of smell, making them very suitable for tracking.

Sending them was perfectly appropriate.

"Yes, sir!"

...At the entrance of Secret Realm No. 4399.

Two teams stood with swords drawn and bows bent.

"Heh, what a small world!"

Lie Yunchuan, the red-armored strongman, sneered with folded arms, his gaze sweeping over the crowd opposite.

"Since our last parting in Secret Realm No. 3216, you've added quite a few new members!"

He deliberately emphasized "new members."

As the captain of the Fentian Squad, he wouldn't miss any opportunity to strike at his opponents.

The Fentian Squad, affiliated with the Federal Army, had a long-standing feud with the Meteor Squad under the Star Pavilion.

Last time in Secret Realm No. 3216, the Meteor Squad's ambush failed, and instead, several of their members were killed by the Fentian Squad.

The new members added this time were to replenish the losses from that battle.

"Less talk, we'll see who's stronger in the Secret Realm! I'm just afraid you won't even have the chance to recruit new members!"

Gu Han, the captain of the Meteor Squad, threatened with a gloomy face.

Killing was not prohibited in the Secret Realm.

The two sides had been fighting for many years, with several conflicts resulting in wins and losses for both.

Last time, the Fentian Squad was just lucky.

This time, they had specifically prepared a powerful weapon to deal with the Fentian Squad.

Li Hongqian stood among the Meteor Squad, head bowed, trying to minimize his presence.

The Li family and the Meteor Squad both belonged to the Star Pavilion faction, and this time, a guide was sent to assist the Meteor Squad.

Li Hongqian had seized this opportunity simply to escape the Li family.

He didn't want to get too deeply involved with the Meteor Squad.

If he encountered danger, he would be the first to run...

Inside Secret Realm No. 4399.

As Lin Xingyu and the others delved deeper, the number of Shadow Wolves also increased.

The strength of the group was not weak, and they could still handle them with ease.

Especially Lin Xingyu's star ray shuttle, facing the Shadow Wolves, it would basically kill them in one blow.

As they consumed more and more evolution fruit, their Ranks also rapidly increased.

"Out of spiritual power!"

Wang Ledian stopped, filled with unwillingness.

The spiritual power in his Physical Body was depleted, and if he continued to fight, he could only rely on his Physical Body.

However, his Physical Body didn't have much combat power either.

The high-intensity monster killing during this period, though exhausting, yielded gratifying results.

He had already reached Rank One, Five Stars.

"Me too, I'm all drained now!"

Wang Chiyao disengaged her mech, panting ungracefully.

After the recent expenditure, her spiritual power was almost gone.

Among the three, Wang Chiyao had killed the most monsters, and her Rank had already risen to Rank One, Seven Stars.

That was two stars higher than Wang Ledian.

Li Hongyang was holding a spirit crystal and Cultivating, trying to speed up his spiritual power recovery.

He was currently Rank One, Six Stars, and had already been surpassed by Wang Chiyao.

"Burp... that was so satisfying!"

Wang Ledian threw away the empty bottle in his hand and let out a long burp.

Being able to drink cold drinks in the Secret Realm was simply too refreshing!

"Buzz—"

Just then, his bracelet suddenly rang.

"Aren't there no spirit net signals inside the Secret Realm?"

Lin Xingyu opened his bracelet in confusion, and a striking message appeared before his eyes.

"Congratulations to all users, the spirit net upgrade has been successful, and it now covers the internal areas of the Secret Realm!"
