74: The solution lies within it.

Facing Miss Sun's inquiry, Jie Dao hesitated for a moment before answering directly: 'Miss Sun is curious? Very well, I will tell you, it is indeed quite good. That Earth Rolling Dragon also has another characteristic: it is quite close to many Demonic Beasts. Although it possesses the coercion of a High-Tier Demonic Beast, its affinity is good, meaning it can strengthen the ability to tame Demonic Beasts.'

"So that's how it is. No wonder you want to give this to the old man! Jie Xin? What a strange name. All the names in Jidong City are quite odd."

"Uh..." Jie Dao was stunned, feeling a bit awkward. "Actually, the Jie Xin you mentioned is only one year older than me, meaning two years older than Miss Sun!"

"Ah?"

Sun Feifei was shocked!

Recalling that old man...

Jie Dao pursed his lips, "He just looks old!"

Sun Feifei immediately fell silent.

She even started questioning life itself.

How could a person look that old?

Is this the prerequisite for becoming stronger: having the hairstyle of a powerful person?

It was truly terrifying!

However, another point of shock for Sun Feifei was that she hadn't expected there to be another true Genius like her Best Friend, Ning Xiwei.

She was even more formidable than Ning Xiwei; to be a Fifth-Tier Beast Tamer at such a young age was truly the mark of a real powerhouse. To see Jidong City willing to invest resources in such a Genius showed just how much confidence Jidong City possessed.

It was truly terrifying.

Horrifyingly so.

If they could safely exit the Secret Realm this time, perhaps everyone involved could advance several stages. If that were the case, the result might be reaching the level of a Grand Magister, or perhaps even a King-level expert?

If so, Jidong City would indeed become even stronger.

Was this the reason Jidong City was willing to invest so heavily this time?

Sun Feifei suddenly began to understand.

However, one strange point remained: why would Chu Jian, the Third Prince of the Great Chu Dynasty, cooperate with Jidong City?

Hadn't they always been somewhat at odds?

Or was it truly only about eternal benefits?

If so, this benefit wasn't just about the Secret Realm.

There must be something else!

Sun Feifei was very curious.

Extremely curious.

So curious that it felt like little ants were crawling all over her body.

She started scrutinizing everyone present.

Every single one of these guys had secrets.

She wondered if this would pose a threat to Xiwei?

After all, Xiwei was the one she firmly believed had the highest chance of touching the true gods secret treasure.

If that time truly came, she would have to find a way to help her good sister.

At this moment, Sun Feifei's thoughts were still focused on how to help Ning Xiwei.

Truly a sister who cared wholeheartedly, a true Best Friend!

"Young Master Jie Dao, may I ask what stage you are at?"

"Not much to boast about—Sixth Tier!"

Sun Feifei fell silent.

As for Chu Jian and the others, they were even more silent.

Damn it, brother, you've been secretly advancing?

People like this really deserve to be cursed.

Why bother shouting about studying all day?

Wouldn't it be better to just have fun?

Yet, they were secretly grinding points and constantly engaging in internal competition!

This kid had actually reached the Sixth Tier.

Doesn't that mean he's very close to reaching the threshold of the Eighth Tier?

And then entering the Grand Magister realm?

In an instant.

Everyone present fell silent.

Sun Feifei was somewhat annoyed, saying: "Young Master Jie Dao, you truly make people feel like you're being deliberately humble. Does your family live in the Palace of Versailles in France?"

Jie Dao just smiled like that.

Then he carefully observed Sun Feifei before him, smiling calmly, "Miss Sun is joking. If it weren't for you hiding something, wouldn't you already be a Grand Magister? Like your Best Friend Ning Xiwei, you both possess astonishing talent, but your focus is either not on Cultivation, or you rely too much on external objects. Take your sister, for example; that Little Skeleton seems to be her greatest reliance, even hindering her own Cultivation."

Hearing this, Sun Feifei's heart trembled.

Her gaze towards Jie Dao immediately became guarded.

Alertness instantly arose.

Because she hadn't expected Jie Dao to know her secret!

How was this possible?

Could this guy really see through her secrets with just his naked eyes?

Sun Feifei became somewhat vigilant.

At the same time, looking at Jie Dao, she said with slight displeasure: 'Young Master Jie Dao, it's better not to probe into these secrets. If we're talking about being formidable, my Best Friend Ning Xiwei is truly formidable, a hundred times more so than me. Her Little Skeleton is not hindering her Cultivation either; you haven't spent time with the Little Skeleton, so you don't know that the Little Skeleton is an existence comparable to the Skeleton King—that is the true powerhouse.'

Just then, a Fifth-Tier expert who had managed to escape nearby heard Sun Feifei's words and became somewhat displeased: "Nonsense! That woman is only slightly formidable with her outer perimeter points. Haven't you looked? This is the depths of the Secret Realm. You say she's formidable when she's still ranked outside the top hundred? She's currently ranked last! What a joke. Can a mere Third Tier survive in there? She might just lose her life at any moment!"

If he hadn't brought this up and badmouthed her Best Friend, it would have been fine.

But once this guy said that, Sun Feifei instantly became enraged.

Because she hated it the most when people spoke ill of her good sister.

She wanted to argue.

But the points on the Heavenly Screen List...

Made her hesitate, even fall silent.

Because Xiwei's current ranking was indeed far behind.

Although she wasn't last, she was certainly close.

Even after refreshing the leaderboard.

Her little sister's points hadn't increased at all?

What was going on?

Sun Feifei looked up at the screen, her eyes clearly showing confusion.

"Speaking of which, Xiwei shouldn't have a ranking like this, right?"

"What exactly is going on?"

"Maybe she's finding a way to earn points!"

"Right, Xiwei must be... or perhaps she's resting?"

"It must be like this."

What Sun Feifei said...

...only caused the others to shake their heads and smile.

They all felt this girl was blindly trusting her Best Friend.

It was truly a bit irrational.

No matter how formidable she was on the outer perimeter points board,

No matter how infinite her potential was,

Now that the Secret Realm had escalated to this level,

It certainly wasn't a stage where someone like Ning Xiwei could act wildly!

"What a foolish girl!"

Suddenly, a voice came.

It was the person behind Jie Dao.

He completely looked down upon girls like Sun Feifei and Ning Xiwei.

He felt they shouldn't even be here.

Sun Feifei naturally disliked this guy.

He had the look of an arrogant snob.

He wasn't even as polite as Jie Dao.

He looked exactly like a petty person.

"Hey, hey, what are you saying? My Xiwei will definitely make you all regret it!"
