5: Multiplayer dungeons? Single-player dungeons!
Having stepped into the Extraordinary Level, Bai Ye did not exhibit any flashy special effects.
There were temporarily no other Extraordinary Level Beast Tamers in the Secret Realm for him to reference.
Bai Ye only felt his body was much lighter, and explosive power surged within every muscle.
Grass-type energy surged endlessly within his body, several times more abundant than before.
He looked down at his hands; no leaves had sprouted, his skin hadn't turned green, and he still looked like a normal person externally.
But in reality, his entire being was radiating an invisible pressure.
This Extraordinary Level aura spread without reservation, terrifying the low-Rank Yao Beasts in the nearby woods, leaving them silent and trembling.
In an instant, birds and beasts vanished, and the surroundings became deathly quiet.
Following their instinct of survival of the fittest, they would automatically steer clear of the strong one's territory.
Unless driven mad by hunger, they would never approach this place.
Only those Undead Creatures left with merely the instinct for slaughter would foolishly regard him as prey.
Bai Ye picked up the "Treasure Blade" on the ground, which was enchanted with Tetanus, and casually tore off a vine to fasten the scabbard to his waist.
He walked to the tallest tree nearby.
He exerted force with his five fingers, digging them into the rough grain of the tree trunk.
As his fingertips slightly curled, his entire body shot up like a leopard, leaving a series of clear finger holes in the bark.
Purple Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, sprinkling onto him.
A warm current instantly surged throughout his body.
The effect of the Talent "Photosynthesis (Green)" finally manifested.
He didn't even need to consciously control it; the energy within his body slowly increased, and his physical recovery ability was greatly enhanced.
Even though the sunlight wasn't particularly intense at the moment, his physical strength was at least 1.3 times what it was in the dark.
"If the Green quality is this fierce, wouldn't reaching the Top Rank make me like Superman, able to grow infinitely stronger just by basking in the sun?"
Bai Xiaoye thought happily to himself, spreading his arms wide and greedily absorbing the sunlight.
The Bond Nexus talent was a bit too terrifying; he planned to use Photosynthesis as his public talent after he left.
Soon, he stopped sunbathing.
Leveling up by sunbathing was still too slow. Once he raised Xiao Lan's Rank, his own leveling speed would be exponential.
"If all the Undead Creatures in this Secret Realm are on the same level as the Skeleton Soldiers, I can kill my way through alone."
Bai Ye stood on the thick tree trunk, gazing into the distance.
A mountain of accumulated Beast Bones caught his attention.
That Bone Mountain was even taller than the surrounding trees.
It was clearly a place where an Elite Monster was entrenched.
"Should I just charge straight over?"
Bai Ye licked his lips, calculating in his mind.
At the Extraordinary Rank, while he might not walk sideways in a low-level Secret Realm, he could at least move freely.
Moreover, he had a recovery Divine Skill like "Photosynthesis." Fighting Successive Battles would only make him stronger, and he would collect resources and materials until his hands went soft.
He stomped hard with his legs, his body tracing an arc in the air before he lightly landed on the crown of another large tree.
Brainless things like Skeleton Soldiers couldn't possibly learn how to climb trees.
As long as he stayed in the trees, even if an accident occurred, he would have enough space to maneuver... Outside the Secret Realm, Zhang Feng paced back and forth, anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Damn it! How could a Secret Realm suddenly appear here? What is the Detection Bureau doing? If anything happens to these students, every single one of them will be sent to the Audit Prison."
He was already a Third-Tier Beast Tamer, and his Rank exceeded the limit, so he couldn't enter this kind of low-level Secret Realm; he could only worry outside.
As the Lead Teacher, he had lost his students on the way to contract beast pets.
If the students had all contracted beast pets, he wouldn't be this anxious.
Beast Tamers with beast pets and ordinary students who haven't even awakened their talents are two completely different concepts.
Not to mention Clearing the Secret Realm, finding a safe place to hide wouldn't be a problem.
"Teacher Zhang, please calm down first."
The Detection Personnel who arrived upon receiving the order to investigate checked the data and breathed a sigh of relief.
"The preliminary assessment indicates it's a Group-Type Secret Realm. All the students were likely teleported to one central location. As long as they are careful, there shouldn't be major issues."
He added a sentence, trying to comfort Zhang Feng.
"Moreover, there might be Yao Beasts inside the Secret Realm that are friendly to humans. If any student is lucky enough to sign a contract with a Yao Beast inside, they might even find a blessing in disguise."
"Bullshit!"
Zhang Feng exploded in anger, grabbing the Detection Personnel's collar.
"They are still just students! Who knows what terrible things are in the Secret Realm? Hurry up and find a solution, contact the Elites from the Beast Tamer Association to come over."
He only wanted to rescue the students safely now, not listen to these empty promises.
Randomly contracting a Yao Beast?
Even if a student contracts a wild Yao Beast like that, it might not obey orders, shirk its duties during battle, or even directly betray its master at a critical moment.
"Soon, soon, the Second-Tier Beast Tamers from the Rescue Team are already on their way. Please don't worry..."
The Detection Personnel subtly pulled away from Zhang Feng's hand and straightened his collar.
His face still wore a professional, businesslike expression.
He had handled many such incidents. As long as they weren't unlucky enough to immediately run into a Beast Tide upon entry, the survival rate was quite high.
Just then, a Bat-Shaped Yao Beast on his shoulder suddenly rubbed against his neck, letting out a series of urgent chirps.
The composure on the Detection Personnel's face instantly vanished.
"Wait? What did you say? There isn't just one collective Secret Realm inside, but also a Solo Secret Realm Space?!"
His expression visibly grew frantic.
He darted toward the Secret Realm entrance, which was only large enough for one person to pass through.
He quickly pulled a precise instrument from his backpack; its front end featured a high-precision sensor and a Holographic Projection Lens.
He painfully activated the instrument and began scanning the area around the Secret Realm entrance.
This High-Precision Secret Realm Detection Device consumed expensive Space-type Yao Beast soul crystals every time it was used.
If his beast pet hadn't possessed the ability to sense energy fields, he probably wouldn't have discovered the unique nature of this Secret Realm until the rescue was over.
A light screen was projected.
Large green areas were marked, representing the safe Group Secret Realm.
But at the center, surrounded by layers of green, was a small red area.
That represented the Solo Secret Realm, which was extremely dangerous—even ordinary Second-Tier Beast Tamers would face certain death upon entering.
At the very top of the screen, a line of glaring numbers was displayed—1:10.
The Time Flow Rate inside the Solo Secret Realm was ten times faster than in the Real World.
If one hour passed here, the person inside had already been there for ten full hours.
"A Solo Secret Realm... If luck holds out, none of the thirty-odd students will be teleported inside."
"If luck doesn't hold out..."
The Detection Personnel's voice trailed off, and Zhang Feng stared intently at the Secret Realm entrance, falling silent.
Both of them knew clearly that so-called luck was often the most unreliable thing.
Once some unlucky soul was teleported inside... No beast pet, no food, no support.
They truly couldn't imagine how a student who wasn't even an Apprentice Beast Tamer could survive in such a desperate situation... "So that's the Elite Monster."
Bai Ye hid himself within the dense treetop, cautiously observing the big fellow sitting on the Bone Mountain Throne below, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"The sense of oppression is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary Skeleton Soldiers."
"Very good, it hasn't reached the Intermediate Extraordinary Level."
"It's still within my hunting range."
