Chapter 114 - Land of White Bones
Chapter 114: Land of White Bones
“Who’d have thought that Jiangzhou University would send a bunch of second-year high school students.”
After knowing Jiangzhou University’s situation, the students of the other universities focused on Ye Xuan’s group were filled with contempt.
It was inevitable.
While none of them were geniuses blessed by the Gods, a two-year age difference was very significant. Almost every one of those who came here this time was practically Dark Iron Peak beast tamers.
Moreover, some of them had even groomed Bronze level beasts of their own.
They were only a step away from getting to the Bronze level themselves.
With that as context, how could Jiangzhou University’s “Baby Army” compete against them?
The victory was almost guaranteed. Anyone who dared say they would lose would be spouting nonsense!
Then, while the students were thinking about that, a black giant eagle that blocked the sky suddenly appeared from the sky above.
“Riii!”
The expressions on the faces of the surrounding people who saw the black giant eagle changed slightly.
“It is Wanshan University!”
All the faculty members of several universities present looked toward Ren Ya.
However, when Ren Ya saw the black giant eagle fly over from afar, her expression did not change. It was as if it was not related to her.
[Mountain Eagle (Owned): ☆
Level: Extraordinary High Level
Abilities: Mountain Eagle Body, Mountain Eagle Claw, Demonic Mountain Shift Spell…
Evolution Path One: Divine Mountain Shifting Eagle
Evolution Path Two: …]
Seeing the black eagle fly over from far away, Ye Xuan instantly appraised and confirmed its attributes.
Whoosh!
Then, in an instant, this gigantic black eagle that spanned at least a hundred meters descended from the sky, revealing the 30 over people on top of it.
“So many people?”
Surprise filled the faces of Lin Zhibai and the others when they saw so many people on top of the giant black eagle’s back.
In truth, the number of students from Jumu University, Qingyun University, and other universities did not go below 20.
However, Jumu, Qingyun, and the other universities could not be compared to Wanshan University.
Everyone in Jiangzhou knew.
Wanshan University had become Jiangzhou University’s largest competition.
And at the moment, for them, a group of second-year high school students from nine affiliated high schools of Jiangzhou University… Faced with over 30 Dark Iron level beast tamers about to enter their second year of university, which were hand-picked from Wanshan University, what should they do?
Lin Zhibai and the others looked at each other.
At that moment, they felt that their lives were gray.
They had no idea how things turned out this way.
“Ye Xuan…”
Suddenly, Lin Zhibai had a thought and looked toward Ye Xuan.
At that moment, he saw Ye Xuan’s face remaining calm and his expression unchanged, despite the appearance of over 30 Dark Iron level students from Wanshan University.
Just like Ms. Renya on the side.
Upon seeing that, he took a deep breath.
Ignoring other aspects, he knew that, at least in terms of mental strength, he was significantly weaker than Ye Xuan.
At that moment, Wanshan University’s person in charge looked stunned after he withdrew his Mountain Eagle and saw Ren Ya.
However, he recovered immediately and smiled before saying, “Eh? Sister Ren, I never would have thought that you were the one leading the team from Jiangzhou University.”
As for Ren Ya, she only nodded slightly after seeing this person.
After that, she shifted her gaze on the large mountain in front of her and said, “Since everyone is here, let us release the seal here.”
“Alright.”
The person in charge of the Wanshan University looked to be an elder in his 50s.
However, he looked full of vigor and energy; every word he spoke was loud and clear.
Upon hearing Ren Ya’s suggestion, he agreed to it. After that, he brought out an odd-looking black fragment and held it in his hand.
At the same time, each of the persons in charge of the respective universities, including Ren Ya, each got out a piece similar-looking black fragment.
Then, they hit and sent these fragments into the sky.
Vuong!
In an instant, as the fragments came together high in the sky, they began to transform quickly.
After just a moment, the fragments had transformed into a black portal.
It then slowly descended onto the mountain in front of them.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the black portal charged into the fogged area around the black mountain peak.
Then, quickly, black fog swirled and gathered towards the black portal formed by the seven or eight fragments, making the portal bigger and bigger.
Upon witnessing the scene unfold before them, Ye Xuan and the others immediately became refreshed and their spirits raised.
They knew that they might be entering the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm soon.
…
“Oh? Is it confirmed already? That Ye Xuan is included in the team headed towards the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm?”
“Yes, it has already been confirmed!”
“Then, who will lead our Jiangzhou University team? Also, who else is on the team?”
“Jiangzhou University’s team leader is Ye Xuan himself. As for the remaining members, apart from Lin Zhibai, the others are from the top class of the second years of our Jiangzhou University affiliated high school.”
“What?”
The tone of the voice which started the conversation suddenly became weird. “Did Lin Shiru suddenly become crazy? She’s actually brave enough to let that Ye Xuan lead this group of kids into the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm?”
The owner of the other voice chuckled lightly and said, “Perhaps the abilities of that Ye Xuan made her a little bit smug.”
“Are you talking about the video that came out a while ago? The video that showcased Ye Xuan’s Space element abilities which were taken down after just two hours?”
Another voice said, “That’s right, a young Dark Iron level beast tamer actually possesses abilities of the Space element. It’s not completely unjustified for Lin Shiru to place so much hope on him.
“Hehe! Not unjustified!”
After hearing those words, the owner of the voice who spoke first suddenly said coldly, “Since that is the case, pass the words down, let that Ye Xuan stay in the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm forever!”
“Relax, I’ve already given instructions. If a potential disaster like this does not die early, by the time he grows up, who knows how many of our relatives will die by his hands.”
…
Amid the mountain range and in front of the gigantic black mountain peak.
“Interesting, so they are our competition sent from Jiangzhou University this time?”
While waiting, the group of students from Wanshan University also learned about Ye Xuan’s group amid all the students’ discussions from the other universities.
After learning about Ye Xuan’s group, their gazes toward Ye Xuan’s group instantly became weird.
Before arriving at this place, they were still eagerly anticipating a good battle against Jiangzhou University people after they step into the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.
However, the reality was that Jiangzhou University was prepared to send a group of “baby soldiers” into the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.
Amidst their lamentation, a tinge of amusement was mixed in their gazes toward Ye Xuan’s group.
They wanted to see Ye Xuan’s interesting expressions and his group of “baby soldiers” if they met each other in the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm, and a battle ensued.
“Ye Xuan!”
However, no one noticed that amid countless gazes sizing up Ye Xuan’s group, a vague and cold murderous aura seeped out of a few gazes when scanned past Ye Xuan.
Vuong!
At that moment, the black portal formed from the fragments thrown by the persons in charge of the respective universities earlier sent out a shockwave after it had absorbed enough fog and mist.
In an instant, it had expanded five to six times.
A vortex channel that connected to another world appeared from within the portal.
“Ye Xuan.”
Seeing the formation of the vortex channel, Ren Ya looked at Ye Xuan beside her and said, “Based on our agreement, our Jiangzhou University will be the first to enter the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.”
Ye Xuan immediately understood what Ren Ya meant.
He turned around to look at Lin Zhibai and the others around him and called out to them, “Let’s go!”
Just as he finished speaking, he immediately let Lil Wan fly him directly toward the vortex channel in front of him.
On the side, even though Lin Zhibai and the others were feeling confused and had lots of complicated thoughts, at that moment, they let go of all those thoughts and quickly followed Ye Xuan.
Simultaneously, the focus of everyone present fell on Ye Xuan and his group as they moved to enter the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm.
In particular, Ye Xuan. He attracted the most attention.
“So, he’s the team leader of Jiangzhou University’s team this time? The special enrolment student of this cohort for Jiangzhou University?”
“A Dark Iron level student is actually able to become a special enrolment student of Jiangzhou University. I wonder if he has any special abilities.”
Behind them, people talked among themselves.
Every one of them was trying to guess Ye Xuan’s background.
As for the teachers from the respective universities, they frowned after seeing Ye Xuan.
The reason was that Ye Xuan’s cultivation level was just too low.
They could not figure out why Jiangzhou University’s team leader was not the son of Lin Shoucheng, whose cultivation level was obviously higher, but Ye Xuan instead.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Then, at that time, in the blink of an eye, Lin Zhibai and the others had followed Ye Xuan into the vortex channel in front of them.
A strange force gushed from within the dark channel.
It pushed Ye Xuan and the others forward at high speed.
Ye Xuan had experienced the power of space multiple times.
Besides, he had opened up the beast lair, which was also a type of space element ability.
As such, he was not unfamiliar nor uncomfortable with the strange force that suddenly appeared and surrounded him.
However, apart from Lin Zhibai, the rest of the group clearly felt uncomfortable.
Upon seeing that, Ye Xuan asked curiously, “What? Don’t tell me you guys have never entered a secret realm before?”
At the same time, he also noticed that the time they spent inside the vortex channel this time was unusually long.
It was not like those where he would enter the space vortex channel of the other side in just one step.
Instead, it was like the space wormhole that connected to the Ancient God Planet.
“No.”
While grimacing, the blonde teenager who spoke to Ye Xuan once said, “Our training took place in the wild. We have never entered a secret realm before.”
“In our high school, normally only third-year students will be able to enter and train in secret realms.”
At that moment, the pride they felt when facing Ye Xuan had again reduced considerably.
Ye Xuan, on the other hand, could not help but feel stunned.
He would never have thought that he who was from Yunhai City would actually have some advantage when compared against those from Jiangzhou University’s affiliated high schools.
Of course, these advantages of his were only present after training vigorously with Lin Shiru.
Whoosh!
Just as Ye Xuan was immersed in his thoughts, a dim ray of light suddenly appeared ahead of them within the pitch-black space vortex channel.
Upon seeing that, Ye Xuan’s brow furrowed together and said, “Pay attention! We’re about to get out!”
As he finished speaking, he felt his surroundings shift.
And suddenly, he arrived on a vast piece of land.
The piece of land was unbelievably frightening.
It was actually covered in countless white bones.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Just as Ye Xuan appeared, Lin Zhibai and the others quickly followed and appeared behind him.
Ka Cha!
At that moment, less than one meter ahead of Ye Xuan’s position, the white bones in an area began to shake.
Before long, a fleshless palm made of only white bones appeared from underground.
With a slap, countless white bones were crushed into pieces.
Then, it propped itself up, and as countless dried bones fell on the ground, a faint humanoid skeleton figure was propped up from underground.
In the next moment, the humanoid skeleton raised its head, its empty eye sockets with a white flame burning inside looked towards Ye Xuan.
Moreover, in the blink of an eye, the distance between it and Ye Xuan had been reduced to only less than half a meter.
“Ye Xuan!”
Seeing this, the expressions on the faces of Lin Zhibai and the others quickly changed.
[White Dried Skeleton: ☆
Level: Low-level Apprentice
Ability One: Bone Switch – To switch powerful bones onto its own body has a high chance to fail.
Ability Two: Devour Soul – After killing an enemy, it can devour the enemy’s soul and evolve itself. Possess a high devouring rate.
Evolution Path One: Dry Skeleton Soldier
Evolution Path Two: …]
However, when the dried skeleton in front of Ye Xuan crawled out from the ground, he had already glanced at the skeleton through the corner of his eyes and obtained the monster’s stats and attributes.
The next moment, while Lin Zhibai and the others had just reacted, Ye Xuan raised his hand and activated a little bit of the Energy of Blood and Qi.
Then, a slap rang in the air as he slammed his palm on the white dried skeleton’s skull in front of him.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
In an instant, the White Dried Skeleton that took a hit from Ye Xuan instantly shattered and fell on the ground, once again becoming one with the rest of the other white bones on the ground.
“It is just a White Dried Skeleton, the Mini Netherworld Secret Realm information that you gave me yesterday had these things.”
After destroying the White Dried Skeleton with one hit, Ye Xuan turned around to glance at Lin Zhibai.
