67: After venturing deeper into the secret realm, one's cultivation level will increase.

Third Prince Chu Jian had to admit that he had misjudged.

Chu Jian sighed and said, "The world is truly vast and full of wonders, with one mountain higher than the next. I, this Prince, never expected a Genius to be in a small academy. My Great Chu Imperial Dynasty is fortunate; I just don't know if such a Genius will serve my Great Chu Imperial Dynasty in the future!"

Chu Jian paused, then looked at Sun Feifei and continued, "If Young Miss Ning Xiwei can reach the level of a Grand Magister after next year's grand examination, then my Great Chu Imperial Dynasty is willing to employ her as the Imperial Dynasty's Grand Magister. At that time, she will represent us in the Ten Thousand Nations Hegemony a year from now."

"Then you'll have to wait for my Best Friend to agree to it herself. As for her, I can't make the decision."

Sun Feifei's face was full of pride.

Naturally, she wouldn't make decisions for her Best Friend.

The woman in the black mist said with considerable anticipation, "If we can make Great Chu enter the top ten in the Ten Thousand Nations Hegemony, then our Great Chu's status among the various nations will directly rise to that of a great power."

"Top ten... huh?" The Female Demon Swordsman in white looked at the pierced hole and murmured softly.

She was clearly lost in thought, having recalled something... Deeper region of the Secret Realm.

What met the eye here was a vast landscape of rolling yellow sand and swirling dust, completely unlike the spring blossoms and lush trees of the valley.

The ground was even covered with piles of white bones, not only from unknown Demonic Beasts but also some that were clearly human.

Judging by the years, they were estimated to be at least a hundred years old.

A scorching sun in the sky continuously baked the earth.

Making the yellow sand on the ground hot.

Each Secret Realm presents a different scene.

And they are all real existences.

Not simply illusions!

As far as the eye could see, there was only endless yellow sand.

Almost no signs of life could be seen.

After Ning Xiwei entered the Secret Realm.

She also became a little nervous.

Fortunately, Lu Chen was by her side.

So she wasn't too afraid.

"Huh, Little Skeleton, why can't we see anyone?"

Ning Xiwei looked around, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

It had been a while since they entered.

But she couldn't sense anyone.

Let alone see anyone, there wasn't a single person within herPerception (perception) range.

Many powerful individuals had entered before.

Why is no one here now?

Strange, very strange!

Lu Chen also found it strange.

He stroked his skeletal jaw, muttering something, "Abba abba."

Naturally, Ning Xiwei couldn't hear him.

At this moment, Lu Chen was saying, "Don't ask me, I don't know either! Aren't you a Mage? Why don't you use your magic power to sense it!"

Venturing deeper into the Secret Realm is actually a continuous descent, layer by layer.

This is a place where magic power is distorted.

The climate in each area here is different.

Completely unaffected by the external geographical environment.

This is clearly the first layer.

To sweep this area for points, one would need to find a large number of Blood Demons.

But there isn't even a single Blood Demon here, which is the strangest part.

So, a problem before them needed to be addressed.

Where did all the people who entered before go?

The next moment.

A Formation began to appear on the ground, seemingly an ancient magic Formation.

In an instant, immense pressure descended.

Then, with a thunderous roar.

Accompanied by a colossal black shadow, it descended from the sky.

The dust on the ground was shaken into a wall of earth, surging outwards.

It was like a gigantic mountain peak.

Its massive body appeared, obscuring the sky and sun, and its enormous shadow even loomed over Ning Xiwei's head.

"This is—?"

Ning Xiwei stared blankly at the colossal giant whose head she couldn't see, her cherry-like mouth wide open, completely unable to believe what she was seeing.

This was even more terrifying than a Titan Giant!

A truly colossal giant.

Ning Xiwei tilted her head back, steadying her mind to avoid being scared unconscious.

Ning Xiwei tightened her grip on her magic staff.

She stared intently at the monster above her.

In the sky, a emotionless mechanical voice echoed.

"Desert Giant, survive for seven days."

"Victory grants a large number of points."

"Rankings refresh in real-time."

Hearing such a voice, Ning Xiwei understood even more clearly that this was the first obstacle she had to face.

But such a powerful existence, seemingly already at the sixth tier, would Little Skeleton really be alright?

Such a sixth-tier giant didn't just have high defense.

It could probably crush any human to death with sheer strength alone!

Ning Xiwei began to get nervous!

But before she could react.

The mechanical voice from the sky once again brought her despairing news.

"Outer region ranking points settled, converted into magic crystal stones."

"Deep region ranking re-calculated."

"All trial-takers entering the deep region of the Secret Realm, please pay attention to your hand-worn rankings."

With this voice.

Aside from feeling a large number of magic crystal stones appear in her storage space.

Her wristband ranking refreshed once again.

Ning Xiwei, Third-tier Summoner, Ethereal attribute.

Can summon creatures from other worlds.

Currently, Skeleton Soldier.

Ranking, 144th place.

Points, 0 points.

Seeing such data, Ning Xiwei couldn't help but sigh that her strength was indeed a bit low.

After all, she was only at the third-tier strength.

After the points were refreshed, it was impossible for her to rank too high.

It seemed to be a normal situation.

However, the current situation seems to suggest that this point ranking.

Has a brand new mechanism.

And the difficulty of the Secret Realm is becoming increasingly challenging.

Just as the Secret Realm rankings were refreshed.

After the outer region was directly refreshed, everyone received their respective settlements.

At the same time, at the location of the giant gate barrier, everyone also noticed something different.

"This is the Secret Realm upgrading!"

Chu Jian exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the celestial phenomenon.

The twisted magic power clouds in the sky.

Caused the deep regions of the Secret Realm to erupt with incredibly powerful magical energy.

Such a concentration of magic power was not just seventh or sixth tier, but even reached an eighth-tier level.

The next moment, a massive light screen also descended from the sky.

Beginning to display the names of every powerful individual who entered it.

This was a leaderboard.

The first place was occupied by various powerful experts.

And the last place was Ning Xiwei.

Clearly, with her third-tier strength, after refreshing her ranking within it.

She naturally ended up in last place.

However, Chu Jian and the others knew very well that such a ranking at this moment could not represent any true strength.

Moreover, they had already witnessed Ning Xiwei's terrifying capabilities.

Or rather, Ning Xiwei's summoned creature.

The terror of that skeleton!

That was the real monster.
