98: Battle between Marquis-level experts

Unlike the robot spraying slogans at the entrance, it looked exactly like Classmate Xiao Jing.

"It really is Classmate Xiao Jing. Could she be looking for us?"

Lin Xingyu watched Classmate Xiao Jing walk towards them, a question in his heart.

"Classmate Lin Xingyu, Teacher Situ wants you all to come to her laboratory."

Classmate Xiao Jing's clear voice rang out.

"Laboratory?"

"Teacher Situ also came to the Base?"

Lin Xingyu and the others' expressions changed drastically, as if they had thought of something terrifying.

"Yes, Teacher Situ is in the laboratory. She has something to tell you!"

Classmate Xiao Jing confirmed.

"That... I'm severely injured and need emergency treatment. I'll go another day!"

Lin Xingyu immediately clutched his chest, unsteady on his feet.

"Right, right, right, we need to take Brother Yu for treatment!"

"Brother Xingyu, you must hold on!"

The others quickly cooperated, supporting Lin Xingyu and running out of the Base.

This was too terrifying, Teacher Situ and the laboratory.

It made them think of too many bad rumors.

They were no longer the naive newcomers they were on the day of the opening ceremony.

During this time, rumors about Situ Jing were widespread.

This made them secretly decide to stay far away from this Teacher Situ.

And they absolutely could not go to the laboratory!!!

Classmate Xiao Jing: "..."

...Outside the Xingluo Academy Base.

Luo Chengan watched the group carry Lin Xingyu out and asked curiously:

"Are you injured? I have Advanced healing potions here!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a large handful of potions.

Seeing their pale faces and panicked expressions, Lin Xingyu's injury must have been serious.

"No need, I'm not injured!"

As soon as they left the Base, Lin Xingyu was put down.

They looked back, and only when they saw no one was chasing them did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"That was too scary just now!"

Wang Ledian clutched his chest.

He swore that even when surrounded by a pack of Otherworld Beasts, he hadn't been this nervous.

"Yeah, I almost lost my beautiful hair!"

Wang Chiyao also touched her hair with lingering fear.

"We can't come here again!"

Li Hongyang said in a muffled voice.

The group quickly moved away from the Xingluo Academy Base and arrived at a secluded spot.

"Here, this is an apostle fruit!"

Lin Xingyu took out an apostle fruit and tossed it to Luo Chengan.

Luo Chengan took the apostle fruit and swallowed it without hesitation.

The next second, the System's prompt sounded in Lin Xingyu's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained an Apostle!]

Next came Luo Chengan's shock and Wang Ledian's explanation.

Lin Xingyu teleported the two into his Inner World, letting them chat slowly.

"Come on, get on, we're going to Starfall City!"

Lin Xingyu summoned the Dark Fiend Dragon.

The Dark Fiend Dragon's body rapidly expanded, becoming large enough to carry several people.

Even in its daily form, it could change its size.

This ability was very practical and wouldn't attract too much attention.

After all, no one would have thought that a pet resembling a winged dog would actually be a legendary Dragon Clan member.

Although Wang Chiyao and the others' pets could also be used as mounts, their speed was much slower than the flying Dark Fiend Dragon.

To save time, riding the Dark Fiend Dragon was the best choice.

"Wow wow! I want a pet like this too!"

Wang Chiyao's eyes sparkled. She also wanted a pet that could be cute and act as a mount.

She had already made up her mind that this trip to Starfall City, she must buy a decent pet.

Not only must it be able to fly, but it also had to have high aesthetic appeal!

Li Hongyang also looked thoughtful.

He also planned to buy a flying mount so that he wouldn't slow everyone down on future journeys.

The Dark Fiend Dragon flapped its wings and quickly ascended.

Carrying the group, it sped towards Starfall City... Outside Sunset City, in the wilderness.

A large crowd had gathered in front of the newly appeared Secret Realm entrance.

They were all attracted by the commotion just now.

"No wonder there was such a big commotion just now, it turns out a new Secret Realm appeared!"

"What level Secret Realm do you think this is?"

"It's said that new Secret Realms have a lot of Heaven And Earth Treasure. Should we go in and take a look?"

"Don't be impulsive! If it's an Advanced Secret Realm, we might be instantly killed as soon as we enter!"

Everyone discussed animatedly, eager to try but also wary.

"Look! The Iron Shield Battle Group is here!"

Someone pointed into the distance and shouted.

In the distance, a large convoy was approaching, carrying soldiers from the Iron Shield Battle Group.

Behind the convoy were numerous transport vehicles, filled with various building Materials.

Clearly, they were going to establish a support Base nearby.

Outside every Secret Realm, the Federal Army would establish a support Base to provide services for adventurers entering the Secret Realm.

At the same time, they would also construct defensive fortifications at the Secret Realm entrance to prevent Otherworld Beasts from entering the Blue Star World from the Secret Realm.

After the convoy arrived, the soldiers jumped out of the vehicles and quickly began their operations.

A burly man, holding a giant shield, walked in front of the crowd.

He was the leader of the Iron Shield Battle Group, known as "Iron Shield."

"After initial detection, this is a D-Rank Secret Realm!"

"Newly formed Secret Realms are much more dangerous than already developed Secret Realms. It is not recommended to enter without Tier 3 strength!"

His booming voice echoed all around.

As soon as he finished speaking, "Iron Shield" waved his hand, and the Tier 3 members of the Battle Group quickly stepped forward.

They formed a combat formation and Advanced into the Secret Realm.

As a Battle Group under the Federal Army, it was their duty to investigate the situation within the Secret Realm.

Personnel from the Spiritual Energy Research Institute were on their way and would conduct a comprehensive assessment of the Secret Realm.

During this period, the Federal Army would not prohibit civilian adventurers from entering.

New Secret Realms presented both opportunities and dangers, and entrants needed to bear the risks themselves.

The Federal Army did not restrict the development of civilian forces; both civilian and military forces were components of the Human Race's strength.

The Federal Army would regularly conscript powerful civilian Evolvers to go to the Otherworld Battlefield and fight together for the Human Race... Outside Starfall City.

The Dark Fiend Dragon was carrying Lin Xingyu and the others, flying towards Starfall City.

Just then, a series of roars suddenly came from the distance.

Terrifying shockwaves swept over, making it impossible for them to open their eyes.

A protective shield timely appeared on the Dark Fiend Dragon, blocking the sand and wind.

Only then did the group open their eyes and look in the direction of the sound.

They saw four black dots in the sky, clashing fiercely.

"Bah, what level of battle is this?"

Wang Chiyao spat out a mouthful of sand.

She had never seen such a scene; the shockwaves alone from the exchange of blows were so terrifying.

"Dark Evil, stealth!"

Lin Xingyu patted the Dark Fiend Dragon's massive head.

The Dark Fiend Dragon understood, and an invisible ripple flashed, causing it and the people on its back to disappear.

This was the Dark Fiend Dragon's stealth ability.

Not only could it become invisible itself, but it could also grant stealth to anyone in contact with it.

Then, they slowly approached that direction...
