92: The secret realm filled with flying flames has once again shocked everyone on the leaderboard!

Outside the Secret Realm.

Among those who entered, not many were able to come out now.

However, not a single person in the valley had left.

Even those whose trials had completely ended stayed.

No one was willing to leave.

Every one of them stared intently at the sky screen before them.

They kept a constant eye on the points leaderboard above.

Even if they didn't know anyone on it, they watched it incessantly.

Simply because of the top five names currently on the leaderboard.

They were exceptionally dazzling!

Fifth place Morning Dew started at ten thousand points.

First place was currently a tie.

Between Lu Chen and Ning Xiwei.

Their points were unexpectedly identical.

This felt inconceivable to everyone.

At the same time, they wondered: were these two together?

But even if they were together, their scores shouldn't be exactly the same!

It was as if they were the same person!

It was truly breathtaking.

Everyone was also incredibly curious deep down.

That aged voice rang out once more within the Secret Realm.

Everyone's gaze focused on the leaderboard on the sky screen again.

1st Place: Ning Xiwei, 12,354 points

2nd Place: Lu Chen, 12,354 points

3rd Place: Ignis, 10,254 points

4th Place: Shelley, 10,147 points

5th Place: Morning Dew, 10,025 points

As for the rankings below them, they were all in the few thousands.

Clearly, those still inside knew they had to band together.

So they operated in teams.

This was a good thing, but even so, they couldn't even compare to the top five.

The crowd outside also realized one thing.

That the top five were one single team.

A temporary team gathered inside by Ning Xiwei.

Everyone remembered Shelley, Ignis, and Morning Dew.

But who on earth was this Lu Chen?

People knew Ning Xiwei; she was a Disciple of the academy.

And a campus beauty.

But this Lu Chen?

Where did this green boy come from?

He actually managed to latch onto such a "thigh" like Ning Xiwei!

Tsk tsk, what an enviable kid.

He probably relied on a Genius like Ning Xiwei to farm so many points.

For a moment, everyone felt reverence and admiration for Ning Xiwei.

Simultaneously, they felt envy, jealousy, and hatred toward this unknown green boy in the top five.

Why couldn't they latch onto that "thigh"?

Especially the trial-takers who had escaped; they beat their chests and stamped their feet, full of resentment.

If only they had met Ning Xiwei!

At this moment, everyone assumed the points of the other four in the top five were all earned by Ning Xiwei carrying them.

None of them knew that the real "thigh" was the unknown green boy in their eyes!

—Lu Chen.

The only one who knew the whole truth was Sun Feifei, who was currently looking at the sky screen with a face full of joy.

Little Skeleton is truly too powerful!

Xiwei and the others have gone deeper into the Secret Realm.

That's great!

At this time, the sixth-place name, Zhao Jiu, caught Chu Jian's eye. He turned to the Female Demon Swordsman beside him and said, "Sixth? It seems the Sword Pavilion has some skill. I see he's been acting alone, perhaps not even in a team? Reaching sixth place solely on his own ability is indeed the Sword Pavilion's style. It seems the Sword Pavilion has some tricks up their sleeve? His points aren't growing slowly either!"

"Junior Brother Zhao Jiu has his own skills; it's not impossible for him to enter the top five."

"Is that so? Heh, then we shall wait and see."

Chu Jian gave a mysterious smile.

Then he stared at the ninth-place name, "Chu Ye," on the sky screen.

His eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "As long as he keeps close to Ning Xiwei and the others, it's enough! The true gods secret treasure is the most important thing—Thirteenth Brother."

...Lu Chen activated the golden compass. The moment it touched the skeletal knuckles, countless starlight spewed from the openwork carvings of the compass.

The old man's voice hadn't deceived Lu Chen.

This compass was indeed a key.

It was even a "guide."

Following the compass's directions, Lu Chen led the girls further into this Hell.

The old man said he wanted them to stay alive.

But Lu Chen also knew that every layer of the Secret Realm hid a secret treasure.

What exactly was the secret treasure of this layer?

Was it the true gods secret treasure?

Or was the true gods secret treasure on this layer?

Everything depended on this compass.

The Soul Fire in Lu Chen's eye sockets suddenly contracted into two points of icy blue.

He reduced his consumption of the Power of the Undead.

The runic magic patterns on the surface of his bone armor also began to wriggle like living things.

Lu Chen used the bone armor to absorb the magical spiritual energy of this place.

Magic power, like starlight, was continuously devoured by the bone armor into dark purple energy, entering Lu Chen's body.

Just as before, such a Secret Realm was like soaking in an experience pool for Lu Chen.

"There's a stone tomb ahead!"

Lu Chen sensed the situation ahead.

He pointed not far away.

Then, Lu Chen took the lead and rushed over.

The girls followed closely behind.

Entering the stone tomb.

Lu Chen found that it wasn't affected by the high temperatures at all.

Instead, the temperature was a bit chilly.

It gave off a bone-chilling cold.

"What kind of place is this?"

Lu Chen looked at the strange runes all around.

He was somewhat puzzled.

Just then.

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble.

"Get back!" Lu Chen's raspy skeletal Soul-voice instantly exploded in the stone room just as Ignis reached out to take the compass from his hand.

The laurel branch reliefs on the edges of the tomb walls began to burst with dazzling, ghostly blue light.

This light seemed to possess a unique magic.

The moment the Flame Demon Girl, Ignis, was hit by the light.

Her crimson hair tips instantly scorched; Morning Dew's divine barrier barely managed to block the erupting magic energy turbulence.

Under everyone's gaze, some magic crystals in front of them melted into a liquid galaxy, revealing a bottomless spiral staircase below.

The summoning mark left on Ning Xiwei's hand when she signed the contract and summoned Lu Chen actually began to crack open into a wound.

Ning Xiwei pressed her bleeding palm; the burning pain from the undead contract made her frown.

This light seemed to be able to tear apart her contract with Lu Chen!

Lu Chen, who should have been restricted by the summoning contract, was now inversely drawing her spirit.

Lu Chen also noticed something was wrong.

He hastily picked up Ning Xiwei and dodged into the distance!

At this moment, every rune on the bone armor on Lu Chen's body began to light up.

And for some reason, Ning Xiwei felt a sharp, ice-crack-like pain deep within her Soul.

"Little Skeleton!" Morning Dew called out softly to Lu Chen, a milky-white glow lighting up at her fingertips beneath the sleeves of her priestess robe.

Morning Dew cast a healing spell on Lu Chen and Ning Xiwei.

But the moment the healing spell touched Lu Chen's skeletal body, the dark-gold patterns on his bone armor magic suddenly lashed out in a counterattack; the Holy Light shattered and splashed in all directions like water droplets hitting a mirror.

Lu Chen quickly pushed away Morning Dew's wrist as she tried to come forward to check on them, then retreated while holding Ning Xiwei, his movement so fast it left afterimages in the air!

Lu Chen warned Morning Dew, "Don't touch me right now, something is strange here!"

Lu Chen's voice carried a double resonance, like a chorus coming from the bottom of the abyss.
