Chapter 94: Secret Realm Mystery

Lu Qianyuan left Tianling Academy and headed to the location of the Secret Realm.

Tianling Academy is located in Survival Zone 30 of Area 8, and within Area 8, almost every Survival Zone has a Secret Realm belonging to Tianling Academy.

Some were discovered by students or teachers of Tianling Academy, while others are jointly owned by Tianling Academy and other forces in the Survival Zone.

Survival Zone 8 belongs to the inner region, with overall stronger power, and the forces within it can be said to be a mix of good and bad, with various local powers constantly emerging.

Even Tianling Academy cannot dominate everything; sometimes, to avoid trouble, it can only cooperate with these local powers.

Two hours later, Lu Qianyuan successfully arrived at the area where the mission was located.

The Secret Realm he was going to this time was in Survival Zone 44, and its Secret Realm was jointly owned by Tianling Academy and the local power, the Iron Hand Society.

Lu Qianyuan followed the instructions on his bracelet and arrived at a branch of Tianling Academy.

Although it was a branch, there were no permanent students here, only students who came to complete missions in the Secret Realm, and the Secret Realm gate was beneath the branch.

Lu Qianyuan entered, and after identity verification, he arrived at the Secret Realm gate within the branch.

After waiting for a while, Lu Qianyuan successfully entered the Secret Realm.

Lu Qianyuan's mission inside was to investigate the distribution of third-order Strange Beast (Evolved Beasts) and then report the results to the people at the branch, who would analyze whether there were any changes from before.

This mission was not very difficult. Lu Qianyuan put away his bracelet, then relied on his Spiritual Perception, focusing his perception in one direction, then slowly sweeping across, scanning the entire Secret Realm.

Before long, he had finished his investigation.

While investigating, Lu Qianyuan also drew a simple map of the Secret Realm and marked the distribution of the Evolved Beasts on it.

The entire process took no more than ten minutes.

To ensure everything was foolproof, Lu Qianyuan checked it again and confirmed it was correct.

However, leaving so quickly would easily arouse suspicion, and he had just discovered a cave during his investigation.

There was a fourth-order Evolved Beast in the cave; although he didn't find a Battle Spirit within its body, he did find a fourth-order Materials.

He naturally had to obtain this fourth-order Materials that came to him.

Ten minutes later, Lu Qianyuan arrived at the cave entrance.

He entered, and rustling sounds came from the darkness, making one's scalp tingle.

The Evolved Beast living here was an insect-type Evolved Beast. The fourth-order Evolved Beast inside was a Multi-Legged Blade Armor Worm, similar to a centipede, with an incredibly hard carapace and extremely sharp edges, capable of easily cutting through the defenses of typical fourth-order Evolved Beasts.

However, this type of physical Evolved Beast was weak in Mental Energy, which Lu Qianyuan happened to counter.

Lu Qianyuan bypassed some areas where third-order Multi-Legged Armor Worms gathered, then arrived at a larger underground space.

Then he activated his ability, condensing a Mental Spike, and attacked upwards.

The next second, a sharp shriek came from the darkness, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling.

Lu Qianyuan took the opportunity to strike with his palm, hitting a weak point in its carapace. The force penetrated the carapace, causing considerable damage to its internal organs.

However, this was clearly not enough to kill a fourth-order Evolved Beast.

But a layer of white frost quickly appeared where Lu Qianyuan's palm covered, and it continued to spread.

The sound of the carapace cracking slowly came. A moment later, cracks appeared in the carapace where Lu Qianyuan's palm covered, and then with a slight force, he shattered the carapace.

Lu Qianyuan pressed his advantage, striking a heavy blow to the Multi-Legged Blade Armor Worm through the wound.

The Multi-Legged Blade Armor Worm's body twitched violently, while Lu Qianyuan continued to attack, giving it no chance to resist.

Under Lu Qianyuan's continuous attacks, the Multi-Legged Blade Armor Worm's life reached its limit, and it finally died.

Lu Qianyuan peeled off the Multi-Legged Blade Armor Worm's carapace, then looked up.

There, a pitch-black rock crystal shone brightly.

Lu Qianyuan flew up and dug out this rock crystal. This was a fourth-order earth-element Materials, Heavy Rock Heart, an essential item for the advancement of some earth-element Battle Spirits.

Lu Qianyuan pocketed it, then left the place.

He completed the mission and also conveniently obtained a fourth-order Materials; it was a huge profit.

Then Lu Qianyuan lingered in the Secret Realm for a while, also studying the usage techniques of Supreme Force, and then he left.

After leaving the Secret Realm, Lu Qianyuan submitted the map he had drawn, successfully completing his first mission.

With his first experience, Lu Qianyuan became increasingly proficient in the subsequent missions.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Lu Qianyuan had already completed three missions, and this was his fourth.

Spiritual Perception was simply too useful for exploration; he could easily search the entire Secret Realm.

The next mission location he was going to was in Area 42, where the Secret Realm was also controlled jointly by Tianling Academy and the local power of Area 42.

Lu Qianyuan entered, then entered the Secret Realm.

However, as soon as Lu Qianyuan entered this Secret Realm, he noticed something was slightly off.

Within the Secret Realm, there was an energy different from Origin Qi.

This energy was very faint, extremely faint, almost nonexistent.

But in Lu Qianyuan's perception, this energy was incredibly clear.

In his perception, this energy entered his body along with the Origin Qi, then silently merged into his body.

He felt it carefully; when this energy merged into his body, his body was slightly strengthened.

However, while strengthening his body, this power also made his body a little violent.

Of course, under Lu Qianyuan's Mental Energy, this power could not cause any trouble at all.

This energy could actually enhance his body strength, which somewhat surprised Lu Qianyuan.

However, he also found that this power should also have negative effects.

While enhancing body strength, it would also cause some damage to the body.

But with the blessings of abilities like Incarnation, Beginner Life Enhancement, and Advanced Physique Enhancement, Lu Qianyuan could ignore the damage caused by this energy.

Even if it caused damage, he could recover his injuries through Origin Qi; it was like his HP would regenerate instantly.

As for the violence caused by this energy, it had no effect on Lu Qianyuan.

Even if he soaked in this energy, it would be impossible for him to lose control.

In other words, this energy had no harm to Lu Qianyuan at all, only benefits.

Discovering this energy that could directly strengthen the body, Lu Qianyuan immediately became much happier.

However, despite his joy, he did not relax his vigilance.

Other Secret Realms did not have this energy, but this particular Secret Realm did, which was definitely problematic.

Either the Secret Realm itself had a problem, or someone was secretly tampering with it.

For safety, Lu Qianyuan decided to hide first and observe the situation. Once he had clearly investigated the source of this energy, he would decide his next step.
