84: Everyone was calculating against Ning Xiwei! The real powerhouse was Lu Chen!

Inside the Secret Realm space.

Those trial participants who remained in here.

At this moment, they were either exhausted.

Or barely clinging to life.

When they saw the ranking displayed on their wrists.

Every single one of them froze stiffly on the spot.

Each one was shocked by Ning Xiwei's name.

Who on earth is this Prodigy, Ning Xiwei?

Damn it!

Poet's Grip?

Over eighteen thousand points—did she destroy the Secret Realm's Ninth-Tier Great Dragon?

How did she achieve that!

Some people realized that hope was lost, and pushing further in now held no value; it was better to save their lives and retreat.

To still gain some benefits from the current points.

In helplessness and despair, this group fled the Secret Realm.

As soon as they emerged.

This group was shocked again by the sight before them!

What met their eyes was a crowd of Fourth-Tier and even Fifth-Tier experts, all clustered around the Sun Family's Young Miss.

And every one of them appeared fawning, running errands for her.

What is going on here?

“What is this?”

Someone voiced a question.

A companion who had been outside walked over, looking dejected, and explained, “You don’t get it, right? It’s right that you don’t get it! Sun Family’s Young Miss’s good sister, Ning Xiwei, in less than a day, not only wiped out several thousand Devouring Water Wolves but also ventured into the deeper part of the Secret Realm—the Hellfire Sea!”

The group that escaped listened, dumbfounded.

How did Ning Xiwei manage that?

Isn't she just a mere Third-Tier Summoner with a Spirit Contract?

This is unbelievable!

Seeing that the brothers who just came out still looked confused.

Putting on an air of knowing wisdom.

He immediately continued to explain to this group,

“Investment, see? It’s because Ning Xiwei is too strong, instantly reaching ten thousand points. None of us combined could rack up that much. Think about it, if it were you, wouldn't you try to back a sure winner? That’s the logic!”

That person instantly fell silent.

This indeed seemed like a very good deal.

But was it that shameless?

So many people rushing to curry favor with a mere Third-Tier little girl?

Speaking of which, the little girl Ning Xiwei inside the Secret Realm is also only Third-Tier!

Truly terrifying!

This Fifth-Tier expert, after a moment of silence.

Suddenly charged towards Sun Feifei!

Putting on a smile.

Waving and shouting, “Little sister, do you still need a fighter? I’m Fifth-Tier, I’ll definitely be useful. I’m a Fire Magic user, the kind with astonishing destructive power!—Little sister, give me a chance, I am a good fighter!”

This scene made everyone present drop their jaws.

At the same time, they started pondering in their hearts:

—Should I go up too?

—No, this kind of good opportunity is still worth pursuing.

—Losing face is losing face then!

—How much is face worth!

“Little sister, take me with you!”

“Miss Sun, I’ll be Ning Miss’s lapdog.”

“I’m Sixth-Tier, I’ll be the dog!”

...Meanwhile, inside the Secret Realm, at the location of the Hellfire Sea.

Lu Chen was already locked in a fierce battle with the villains from the Magic Association brought by Shaven.

With one bone saber strike, Lu Chen forced the Bone Dragon back.

The immense sharpness forced even Shaven, a Seventh-Tier expert.

To retreat several steps.

After being forced back, Shaven glared at the captain of the Twelve Shadows.

And roared angrily, “Hurry up! This Skeleton Soldier is covered in strangeness!”

“Got it, Shaven, you talk too much. You can’t even deal with a mere Skeleton—what a joke.” The black-robed figure, one of the Twelve Shadows singled out, showed a look of disdainful mockery, completely disregarding the Skeleton Soldier in Shaven’s eyes.

After all, they hadn't fought directly against Lu Chen.

They assumed it was just a Skeleton Soldier.

It surely couldn't be very strong.

“Claude, either you go up, or you wait to face punishment from the Vice Dean when you return!” Shaven threatened coldly.

He directly invoked his superior.

He wanted Claude to comply.

And help him deal with this Skeleton Soldier.

Claude and the others were still besieging Ning Xiwei and the other women.

Although they couldn't break through their defense for the time being, they held a stable upper hand.

At this moment, they were supposed to pull people away to help deal with a mere Skeleton?

Claude almost laughed in anger!

Since when was the Master so useless?

Hearing Claude's name mentioned, Ning Xiwei and the others recalled.

The outstanding teachers from the major magic academies they learned about during class.

This person was one of them.

“Claude Shadow? He is also the representative of the Western Magic Association in China. He often recruits some of our Eastern youths to join their major Western academies,” Ning Xiwei said, condensing a light blade at the tip of her staff. “I recall that three years ago, it was rumored his older brother, a dark magic Great Master who consumed human blood, was burned to ashes by the Ignis Family and Eastern experts working together.”

“Shut up!”

Claude became furious when Ning Xiwei mentioned his elder brother!

The shadow beneath his feet suddenly surged, transforming into a giant mouth that lunged at Ning Xiwei.

Lu Chen was one step ahead; his bone saber struck first, its blade wrapped in Flame Demon Fire, pinning the shadow beast conjured by the shadow onto the ground with one slash.

The shadow beast let out a miserable shriek.

Clearly in agonizing pain.

It was then completely scorched by the Flame Demon Fire.

And dissipated entirely!

At this moment, Lu Chen was truly fighting ten against one.

He was completely on par with these so-called experts.

Moreover, Lu Chen could already feel the signs of an impending Breakthrough to Sixth-Tier.

As long as he consumed the ones before him.

He would certainly break through the shackles and enter the Sixth-Tier.

“Incarnation Slash!”

Lu Chen roared, his form suddenly expanding.

He unleashed another earth-shattering saber strike.

This saber strike manifested as blood-red dark gold Saber Qi.

Evidently carrying various elemental powers.

This powerful strike.

Suddenly made even Claude look shocked!

Something is wrong!

This Skeleton Soldier is very wrong!

The dark gold patterns spread along the shadow, and Claude could not dodge in time.

With a cry of pain, the inextinguishable Flame Demon Fire actually stained his arm!

Claude made an immediate decision, screaming as he violently tore off his left arm—the contaminated limb was already carbonizing into ash.

The Flame Demon Fire, combined with the power of the undead.

Would instantly engulf the entire body.

And even completely scorch the Soul clean!

The others in the Twelve Shadows team saw that the situation was deteriorating.

It seemed the Skeleton Soldier was the greatest threat.

They quickly converged and launched an offensive against Lu Chen.

From the Twelve Shadows, the sound of spells like a viper hissing echoed simultaneously.

Immediately following, a massive mass of black shadow transformed into a giant black python.

And lunged directly towards Ning Xiwei!

They were smart.

Although they felt Lu Chen was the biggest threat.

They could also see that Lu Chen was the summoned creature summoned by that Eastern girl.

Therefore, attacking the master directly was the best choice.
