bai wushang knew that even if he didn’t share this information, it would still be quickly discovered.

it was only a matter of time before everyone knew about it.

moreover, he had no need to hide anything at this point in time.

the ultimate trial might require teamwork. there were no disadvantages to releasing goodwill in advance.

however, bai wushang was not prepared to travel with mai long, shen xin lan, and the others.

of the nine star iron towns, only one had been established. the other eight were hidden in unknown areas.

he had ah zhou for close combat, milky way for healing and recovery, and xiao ci for attacking and fleeing.

even if he lost the ring of protection, bai wushang still had enough bargaining chips, and he still had the capital to take risks alone.

especially when all of them advanced, his strength would still have an explosive growth.

coupled with a bunch of trump cards, he also had the confidence to fight star iron town alone and compete with any competitor.

“wushang, be careful.”

after learning of bai wushang’s personal thoughts, shen xinlan and the others did not try to keep him.

forming a team or not was something that could be done in passing and could not be forced.

even though the four of them had only met up temporarily, they planned to split into two groups of two.

“shua shua shua”

the yellow crystal sparrow spread its wings and flew high, while the pink rat scuttled on the ground.

everyone left one after another, including bai wushang.

star iron town had no value at all. even if he had extra life stones, he wouldn’t be able to enter the gem altar.

that was a place that only those who had cleared the trial could enter. myron and the others tested it repeatedly and were convinced of this rule.

the three mercenaries of the gale dynasty heaved a sigh of relief as they watched them leave.

then, they headed in another direction.

they chose to deliberately avoid it and search for a new trial.

however, in the darkness, there were two pairs of peeking eyes.

” what a coincidence. we were just talking about him. i didn’t expect the real one to appear. ”

“so, have you thought it through?”

it was an undamaged pavilion made of gemstones. two figures were standing on either side of a window on the sixth floor.

around them, there was a circle of faint fluorescent light. it was probably some kind of small barrier that covered their aura and prevented peeking.

“are you really planning to do this? he’s no longer an unknown player, he’s one of the top seeds of the new generation.”

” even if you have a background and support, there will still be risks if you go too far, right? ”

the burly, dark-skinned man on the right pursed his lips and sighed as he looked at the purple electric arc that was gradually disappearing.

the man on the left played with the red ring in his hand and glanced at him casually. he said coldly, ”

“brother yang, the reason why i still call you ‘brother’ is simply because i respect you for being older and stronger than me.”

” however, this involves my personal matters. i hope you won’t ask too much. ”

“you just need to tell me, are you going to make this deal or not?”

faced with this question, the man on the right frowned deeply and remained silent.

after a while, he slowly let out a breath, his eyes turning cold.

“as long as you keep your word and help me find that spiritual herb and save my sister’s life.”

“i’ll take on this muddy water!”

the man on the left smirked when he heard the affirmative answer.

although his voice was still a little cold, his tone revealed some joy and satisfaction, ”

“don’t worry, i’ll definitely do what i promised you.”

“of course, the premise is that you have to stay with me in the secret realm forever.”

“i know.” the dark-skinned man took out an eagle mask and a brand new black windbreaker. he said expressionlessly, ”

“since the ring of protection has lost its effect, this arcane realm is indeed the most suitable place for an ‘accident’ to happen.”

” the rest is to match your ability and choose an appropriate time, a time where no outsiders can interfere and a stable time to kill. ”

“very good, that’s how it is.”

the handsome man revealed a row of white teeth and smiled.

“with your help, i’m pretty sure we’ll succeed.”

” however, i don’t want to be blacklisted by the academy. at the same time, i don’t want to be sent to the border and suffer. ”

” so, you and i should keep this between us. i don’t want a third person to know. ”

the dark-skinned man was unmoved. he replied in a direct tone, ”

“finish this and get the reward you deserve.”

“i will drop out of school and no longer stay in shanhai. you don’t need to worry about me.”

“alright, brother yang is a straightforward person.”

the handsome man laughed and took out two dark green talismans. ”

“then let’s go. with these two special-class tracking talismans, we can follow him from a distance and lock onto his position. only those at the mystic general level will be able to detect us …”

……

the next morning.

an hour later, two more pillars of light shot up into the sky.

this meant that out of the nine gemstone towns, three had already been conquered.

” this distance is too far from me. there’s no need to investigate by force. ”

bai wushang stood still and looked into the distance.

it had been five days since he entered the secret realm, and the difficulty of obtaining gourmet cells had increased sharply in the past two days.

it was mainly because the proportion of new species was decreasing day by day, and it was not as exaggerated as it was at the beginning.

however, his other gains were still acceptable and above average.

in total, they found twelve ruins and eight gem villages.

it was a pity that the former’s actual number of kills was seven, the latter’s was five, and the rest had been taken by someone else.

even so, if the treasures were converted into gold coins, a ruin was worth about 3×50000, and a gem village was about 5×120000.

bai wushang’s assets also snowballed.

the protective stone talisman was still the best item he could exchange for.

however, there were also other secret technique scrolls, talismans, precious artifacts, protective gear, and weapons.

bai wushang could use a small portion of them for himself, but he was prepared to sell most of them in exchange for resources that were more suitable for him.

……

that night.

bai wushang’s luck had a small explosion, and two good things happened one after another.

ah zhou had advanced.

the three-eyed witch ape, who had been with him for the longest time, was the first to advance.

different from the little rabbit, milky way advanced to the late-stage of the mature stage and did not learn any new skills. he only comprehensively improved the strength of the existing skills.

ah zhou had comprehended another skill. it was not a racial skill, but a very practical general skill.

it was an air palm.

this skill relied on the palm to activate and was an attack-type skill, but it also had additional wonderful uses.

its effect was that after it was blasted out, a strong airflow would be produced from the body and finally burst out from the palm, gushing out.

for example, double fist, mountain splitting fist, crushing palm, and so on, all of them had to be touched.

the air palm was different. even if it did not touch the target, as long as the target was within the range of the palm wind, they would be affected.

bai wushang wanted to experiment. if he suddenly took this blow without being fully alert …

even with the lightning armor on, he would still be sent flying 30 to 40 meters away. it was a terrifying sight.
