18: They feared him as if he were a ghost or a god!

How noble was the young master's status.

Even in the Imperial Capital, he was high and mighty, and no one dared to offend the young master.

Therefore, Guard Zhang, as the young master's personal guard, had never experienced a life-or-death crisis.

Now, just being brushed by Lu Chen's Undead Pressure,

he felt as if he had fallen into Hell!

Personally feeling the bone-chilling killing intent was like walking on a thin wire over a bottomless abyss, swaying left and right; one moment of carelessness would mean death without a place for burial!

He shook all over like a sieve!

On his exquisite leather greaves, an orange-yellow liquid flowed down.

"Wuwu, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

He was so scared his eyes rolled back.

If Little Skeleton were to strike him, how could there be any chance of survival?

Bang bang bang~

He repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Spare this lowly one's life, I beg you, spare this lowly one's life!"

Glancing at the kowtowing worm on the ground,

he also caught sight of the orange-yellow liquid on the floor.

Tsk!

Lu Chen was extremely disgusted.

But Lu Chen had no sense of smell, so he didn't feel much.

On the other hand, Ning Xiwei and Sun Feifei pinched their delicate noses in disgust.

To think that a big shot who was arrogant just a second ago would become a kowtowing worm the next.

Lu Chen would not show mercy and let them go just because an enemy knelt and begged for mercy.

Since this fellow was related to the You Beasts and even condoned their violence, it was a capital offense!

Lu Chen raised his bone saber and was about to strike down.

"Forget it."

Ning Xiwei pulled Lu Chen back and shook her head.

There was a big shot standing behind this man.

Ning Xiwei didn't want to continue making enemies; accidentally killing a You Beast might still be explained away.

But if they dealt a killing blow to the opponent's subordinate after he had knelt and begged for mercy, it would become a complete blood feud.

Seeing that Lu Chen indeed stopped,

Ning Xiwei couldn't help but feel joyful and said to Guard Zhang,

"Leave quickly before Little Skeleton changes its mind."

Without a second word, Guard Zhang scrambled up and ran.

Passing by Shen Feichen, who was foaming at the mouth, he didn't pause for a moment and ran toward the Secret Realm entrance.

He was going to report the news.

He wanted to inform the young master of everything!

Lu Chen ignored the semi-conscious Shen Feichen.

Ning Xiwei, however, recognized him and shook her head.

"Let's go. That young master's plan to absorb the Secret Realm's energy isn't all bad; at least the efficiency of killing monsters has surged."

Sun Feifei was quite optimistic.

Lu Chen nodded his skeleton head.

He had already taken note.

There were still eight You Beasts in the Secret Realm!

Although his Realm became harder to raise the further he went,

if he killed all eight of these You Beasts, he should at least be able to reach the second tier!

At that time,

it would be a new gold affix!

Looking forward to it!

...Meeting hall at the entrance of the Myriad Beast Paradise Secret Realm.

On the ceiling was a Dragon-shaped magic crystal lamp.

The light was soft but bright.

Under the crystal lamp was a large oval conference table.

At the end sat a young man with a pale face but a feminine appearance.

He was resting with his eyes closed.

Behind him were two middle-aged men in exquisite leather armor, their expressions alert.

At the shallow curve of the oval conference table sat the big shots of Chiyang City.

In the center was the Chiyang City Lord Chen Shouyi, others were the Headmaster of No. 1 High School, Principal, the Headmaster of No. 3 High School, Sun Qihai, as well as the leader of Chiyang City's number one adventure group, Red Star Group, Zhang Chi, the Vice City Lord, and other core nobles.

"I say, City Lord, don't be heartbroken. Although Young Master Ye let the You Beasts absorb the Secret Realm's energy, he also gave us plenty of compensation."

Principal whispered to Chen Shouyi,

"The things Young Master Ye gave will probably allow the City Lord to take a big step forward on the path of the fourth tier.

The stronger you are, the greater the help to our Chiyang City."

Chen Shouyi did not answer, a hint of unwillingness showing in his eyes.

It wasn't him who was of great help to Chiyang City.

It was the Secret Realm!

The Secret Realm was the key to a city's prosperity.

He had estimated that by letting that Young Master Ye use nine You Beasts to ravage the Secret Realm, the Secret Realm's Origin would lose at least thirty percent!

But what could be done?

He was a big shot who could take out nine Second-Tier You Beasts at once!

Not to mention he gave compensation to these high-level officials,

even if he didn't, he, the City Lord, would have to endure it!

You Beasts represented the core power of the Empire!

"City Lord, you are knowledgeable. Are You Beasts really as powerful as the rumors say?"

"Boasted as invincible in the same tier, no matter how I hear it, it sounds fake!"

Chen Shouyi took a deep breath and said slowly,

"Let me tell you a bit about it.

The strength of us Professionals can actually be divided by attributes.

We mainly possess four attributes: Strength representing attack, agility for speed, Physique for stamina, and spirit for magical attacks, with spirit being a rare attribute.

We use an ordinary adult as a unit of measurement, which means the four-dimensional attributes are all 1 point.

For example, the total attributes of the Tier Zero Realm are between 1 and 10 points.

The total attributes of Tier One are 20 to 100 points.

The total attributes of Tier Two are roughly 200 to 1000 points.

That's the general pattern."

"We also have a general understanding of this saying."

"Indeed, according to this pattern, excluding the combat power increase from talent skills, the comparison of respective combat power is clear."

"Take my guard captain as an example. He is at the Second-Tier Ninth-Stage Peak, with a total attribute of about 900 points.

It's very close to the Peak value of 1000 points.

I've tested him; his spirit is slightly over 10 points, and the rest of his Strength, agility, and Physique are all around 300.

This is the Second-Tier Peak of us humans."

Everyone nodded.

They knew the City Lord's guard captain.

He was a Prodigy of Chiyang City in recent years and had also Awakened a rare profession; otherwise, Chen Shouyi wouldn't have promoted him to guard captain.

"But for a Second-Tier You Beast, except for spirit, its Strength, agility, and Physique are all 1000 points!

That is to say, the limit for us humans is a total of 1000 points, while for a You Beast, just one of those attributes is already the limit of our human total!"

"Impossible!"

"Since a You Beast's single attribute is already 1000 points, it should be Tier Three, not Tier Two!"

Several Chiyang City nobles stood up in excitement.

"Heh."

Chen Shouyi glanced at them sideways,

"According to the testing by various Empire institutions, a You Beast with a single attribute of 1000 points is in the Second-Tier Realm!"

"The Empire is faking it!"

This news was simply too horrifying!

The nobles didn't believe it at all; there were too many tricks in the Empire's core circles.

"Heh." Chen Shouyi laughed at these people's ignorance. "You know about the Nightmare Forest in our city, which restricts entry to those with strength above the Second-Tier Realm, right?"

"Of course."

Many of them had Tier Three strength and had secretly tried to find ways to enter the Nightmare Forest.

But the Secret Realm's rules were set as such.

None of these Tier Three Professionals had ever succeeded.

"Young Master Ye previously sent a You Beast into the Nightmare Forest for a tour, and feeling that the energy was too low, he chose the Myriad Beast Paradise Secret Realm."

As soon as Chen Shouyi finished speaking,

everyone's faces turned deathly pale!

A You Beast with a single attribute of 1000 points was actually only Second-Tier!

After all, the Secret Realm's rules could not be wrong!

A single attribute of 1000 points was directly three times the human limit!

Who could rival a You Beast?

No wonder You Beasts were invincible in the same tier!

And for Young Master Ye, who could freely command nine You Beasts, how shocking must his background be.

"Report, You Beast No. 3 has matured."
