14: A second-tier ghost beast, invincible among its peers!

"Lord Zhang, what... what is that behind you?"

Shen Feichen took one look back and didn't have the courage to look again.

Looking at the cowering student in front of him, Lord Zhang sneered.

Bringing this guy out to mess around was a chore assigned by his master, and talking a bit would help relieve the boredom.

"I'll let you broaden your horizons."

"Listen up, it's a You Beast!"

"You Beast?"

"You don't even know what a You Beast is? What an ignorant country bumpkin!" Lord Zhang's eyes were full of disdain.

"Lord Zhang is right, I am just a country bumpkin. Please tell me more, Lord Zhang," Shen Feichen said flatteringly.

"Let's put it this way: a You Beast is invincible at the same Rank!"

"Invincible at the same Rank?!"

"That's right. No human, no living creature can defeat a You Beast of the same Rank!"

"How is that possible! Lord Zhang, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration? I've heard that Spirit Contractors can fight above their Rank. Could this You Beast even be a match for a Spirit Contractor?"

"Heh, ignorance!"

"Let's put it this way. You know that Spirit Contractor who awakened two years ago, the one with the Blazing Flood Dragon?"

"I know. I heard he's already been given a title."

"That's him. Two years ago, with his Blazing Flood Dragon, he quickly reached the Second-Tier Realm. Back then, he could even hold his own against low-level Third-Tier experts.

He got cocky. He heard that You Beasts were invincible at the same Rank and didn't believe it, so he challenged a Third-Tier Phantom Beast.

In a single exchange, he was left on the verge of death.

Once his wounds healed, he challenged a Second-Tier You Beast. He didn't last ten moves before being heavily injured again!

That is a You Beast!"

Lord Zhang was extremely disdainful toward that arrogant Spirit Contractor who challenged the You Beast.

"This You Beast is way too strong!"

Even ultra-rare Spirit Contractors were no match for a You Beast.

Then what kind of existence was Lord Zhang, who could command a You Beast?

Shen Feichen lowered his status even further.

"Lord Zhang, we've arrived at the front."

"Indeed."

Lord Zhang had already sensed the dense aura of the Secret Realm monsters.

"Lord Zhang, this is a Second-Tier monster spawn point. Not far ahead, there's also a Second-Tier boss spawn point."

Shen Feichen said quickly.

"Good. Also, keep the purple core I gave you safe. Don't lose it. You Beasts recognize the core, not the person. If the You Beast really makes a move against you, even I won't be able to save you!"

Hearing this, Shen Feichen quickly gripped the object in his arms that looked like a purple walnut.

At this moment.

Lord Zhang pulled out a purple jade tablet and infused a trace of energy into it, making the tablet glow with purple light.

He gave a low shout.

"Go!"

The dark figure behind him flickered.

A two-meter-tall, five-meter-long, pitch-black leopard-like creature leaped out. Its body had smooth lines, and on its agile and elegant torso were dense, ancient runes.

"Kill them all!"

Lord Zhang gave the order.

The leopard-type You Beast tilted its head back and roared.

However, no sound came out. Instead, a wave of invisible dark purple energy rippled outward.

Shen Feichen felt as if his whole body was frozen, and even his heart stopped beating. It wasn't until he felt the warmth of the purple core in his arms that he regained control of his body.

Meanwhile, the hundreds of Secret Realm monsters ahead, ranging from Second-Tier Rank One to Second-Tier Rank Nine, all seemed to be frozen in place.

In the blink of an eye.

Just as his vision blurred for a moment, hundreds of Second-Tier Secret Realm monsters all exploded into a mist of blood.

That blood mist, wrapped in spiritual power and energy, was all swallowed by the You Beast.

One strike.

Instantly killing a hundred of the same Rank!

This was a You Beast!

"Too strong! Is this the power of being invincible at the same Rank?"

Shen Feichen swallowed hard. Staying beside the You Beast, he felt like his life was in danger at any moment.

He looked at Lord Zhang with uncertainty.

"My Lord, can the purple core really protect my life?"

"Don't worry, You Beasts won't attack creatures carrying a purple core."

Lord Zhang snorted.

"You're so cowardly. Hurry up and lead us to the boss spawn point."

In the time it took to say those few words, the You Beast had already slaughtered nearly a thousand same-Rank Secret Realm monsters at the spawn point.

"My Lord, this way please."

Shen Feichen couldn't help but bow his back as he began to lead the way.

"Haha."

...Lu Chen led Ning Xiwei and the other girl, clearing out several more monster spawn points.

Under the infusion of countless amounts of spiritual power.

Sun Feifei's Realm rose to Second-Tier Rank Four.

While Ning Xiwei still remained at First-Tier Rank Nine.

The resistance to Ning Xiwei breaking through her Realm grew larger and larger due to the influence of her Spirit Contractor class and Lu Chen.

Although Ning Xiwei couldn't break through, her own combat strength was still steadily improving.

Of course, it was far behind Lu Chen's rate of improvement.

"Xiwei, it's so strange. We've been in the Secret Realm for almost ten hours now."

"It was afternoon when we came in!

It hasn't even gotten dark in the Secret Realm yet!"

Sun Feifei had a look of confusion.

Ning Xiwei nodded.

She had a certain understanding of this Myriad Beast Paradise Secret Realm.

The frequency of the day-night cycle in the Secret Realm was consistent with the outside world. Logically speaking, it should be dark in the Secret Realm by now. Why was it still as bright as day?

The Myriad Beast Paradise Secret Realm had a rule: as soon as it got dark, it would instantly teleport the adventurers inside out.

Therefore, few people left the Secret Realm early; they would all choose to be expelled by the Secret Realm.

"Whatever, as long as the Secret Realm isn't dark, I'm not leaving, hehe."

Sun Feifei was addicted to being carried by Lu Chen.

All she had to do was chat with her Best Friend along the way, and her cultivation would soar.

Once they left the Secret Realm, where else could they find such a good deal for light-speed leveling?

It would be best if it never got dark.

"Feifei, is that the most famous boss in Myriad Beast Paradise?"

Ning Xiwei saw a shimmering, five-colored divine deer drinking water by the side of a small river covered in wildflowers.

So beautiful.

But this guy was notorious!

On the way, Ning Xiwei kept hearing Sun Feifei complain about the bosses in Myriad Beast Paradise, and the one she complained about the most was this five-colored divine deer boss.

The Second-Tier Rank Nine Elk King.

This guy's defense was astonishingly high; often, even Third-Tier Professionals couldn't break through its defense.

It also held grudges. As long as you provoked it, it would chase you endlessly.

But its attack power was low. To cause more damage, this Elk King would only attack the enemy's lower body.

Therefore, it was notorious!

"I'm speechless. The Elk King actually spawned. Let's change locations."

Sun Feifei suggested.

Ning Xiwei nodded in agreement.

Along the way, although Lu Chen's strength was amazing and he insta-killed every monster he met,

the Secret Realm monsters they encountered were at most Second-Tier Rank Five.

The Elk King was a Second-Tier boss with amazing defense, and it could only be matched by a Third-Tier powerhouse.

Little Skeleton was only at the First-Tier now, two Realms away from the Third-Tier.

"Little Skeleton, let's go."

At that moment.

A leopard-type strange beast, blooming with dark purple light, abruptly appeared next to the Elk King.

*Slap~*

With a gentle pat of its paw.

The Elk King, whose defense was comparable to a mid-level Third-Tier, instantly exploded like glass.
