Zhang Xuanyu put his arm around Le Renkuang’s shoulder and sighed. “The two of us are indeed just here to make up the numbers.”
Le Renkuang’s reaction was normal. “How nice!”
With the experience of entering, it was easy to leave. As soon as spiritual energy touched the Star Bead, the portal opened. With a whoosh, Han Fei and the others returned to the Thousand Star Proving Ground.
At that moment, it was about 300 seconds before they entered. If they hadn’t stayed in the sea of sand for a while, they could have come out even earlier.
“Eh! They’re out.”
In the distance, many people revealed looks of surprise.
Although the clash between the students of the Thug Academy and the children of the big clans hadn’t really erupted, it was impossible for it not to attract the attention of others.
In particular, some people from the seven sects were silently watching.
Of course, they didn’t come to cause trouble for Han Fei. With Chu Jian and the others gone, no one came to cause trouble.
Ku Shui quickly came to them. “Young masters, you’re out already?”
Luo Xiaobai said indifferently, “These secret realms aren’t of much use to us. There’s no need to explore them too much.”
Han Fei took out more than 200 Star Beads and many fish skin maps and said, “Alright, in that case, let’s split them. If most of the secret realms aren’t too difficult to pa.s.s, ignore them. But if we encounter a few troublesome creatures, solve them. Next, we’ll explore the ruins. Fatty, follow Li Luoluo.”
Li Luoluo immediately said, “I’m a law enforcer! I can do it alone.”
Han Fei smiled and said, “You’re just a temporary teacher at the Thug Academy, and the resources are acc.u.mulated by the Thug Academy for a long time. Do you understand what I mean?”
To put it bluntly, Han Fei’s trust in Li Luoluo was only on the level of a friend.
In the world of cultivators, it was already not bad to have a friend. It was impossible for Li Luoluo to explore her own secret realm alone.
As the saying went, defenses couldn’t do without. They couldn’t trust anyone who wasn’t from the Thug Academy. After all, it wasn’t impossible for the big clans to have some deliberate arrangements to achieve their goals.
Why did he let Le Renkuang go with Li Luoluo? This guy didn’t seem to be strong, but when he really exploded, he was second only to Han Fei.
He had mastered both Overlord’s Technique and Violent War Body, and the legendary creature, Deep Blue Roar, as his contractual spiritual beast, as well as the Sky Swallowing Technique. If there was really a problem with Li Luoluo, Le Renkuang could completely suppress her.
Li Luoluo had no objections to this.
Of course, she wouldn’t ask why Jiuyin Ling could explore it alone. It was because Han Fei knew what kind of person Jiuyin Ling was. She didn’t hesitate to give him the Comfort and Nature Technique, which was a great show of trust.
…
Three days had pa.s.sed.
In the square of the Thousand Star Proving Ground, Han Fei and the others became famous. The name of the Thug Academy was almost everywhere.
Because…
Almost every two hours, Han Fei and the others would come out several times. Then, they took out a new Star Bead and opened a new portal.
This frequency shocked everyone. Did the Thug Academy have so many secret realms?
Someone sighed. “What’s the background of the Thug Academy? With so many secret realms, they’re comparable to the big clans!”
Someone said, “Go back and check the information. This school’s reputation was once above the seven major sects.”
Someone said, “I’ve already counted. In the past few days, this group of people has already appeared in nearly 200 secret realms. This is crazy. Can none of those secret realms stop them?”
Someone scoffed. “Do you know who these guys are? Han Fei is famous in the Unknown Place. He killed a law enforcer when he was only an intermediate Hidden Fisher. Do you think a non-explorer secret realm can stop them?”
Swis.h.!.+
Han Fei appeared in the trial square.
At this moment, he didn’t plan on continuing.
This time, he had a feast for his eyes. There were really all kinds of strange secret realms.
There was an undersea jungle, a sea of sand, a nest of insects, an area of undead creatures, ruins of sunken s.h.i.+ps, a fish tide canyon… Han Fei couldn’t help but sigh. There were really all kinds of strange places in the sea.
After two hours, Jiuyin Ling came out.
As a law enforcer, Jiuyin Ling’s exploration speed was very fast, especially with the seal law she had mastered. This made her almost invincible.
After a while, Luo Xiaobai, Zhang Xuanyu, Le Renkuang, and Li Luoluo all came out.
Han Fei: “How is it? How many haven’t been explored?”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “No. We didn’t thoroughly explore them but just confirmed the level of danger.”
Zhang Xuanyu curled his lips. “I encountered an octopus just now and almost died inside. However, I cleaned it up myself.”
Le Renkuang: “We’ve checked the secret realms we entered as well. There aren’t more than ten abnormal secret realms.”
Han Fei nodded. “Alright! From now on, we’ll leave them to Xing Yue and the others. Next will be the ruins. Those places are different from these ordinary secret realms. Let’s go together.”
Luo Xiaobai nodded. “Alright!”
Li Luoluo said, “Actually, I think we can also observe the law-enforcer secret realms. After all, our strength is already comparable to a law enforcer’s.”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “Not for the time being. From these ordinary secret realms, it can be seen that these secret realms aren’t something ordinary law-enforcers can dominate. If the strength of the law enforcer-level secret realms reach the level of advanced or peak law-enforcers, the danger will be completely uncontrollable.”
What Luo Xiaobai said was exactly what Han Fei was thinking.
At present, he was the only one here who could fight advanced law-enforcers head-on, let alone peak-level law-enforcers.
For example, even if he called out the Punis.h.i.+ng Saber, he still couldn’t kill Chixue Huan. From this, it could be seen that Han Fei and the others shouldn’t enter the secret realms of the Law Enforcer level no matter what.
Han Fei only had a total of eighteen ruins-type secret realms. Eight of them were at the level of the Law Enforcers, which meant that they could only explore the remaining ten for the time being.
As for the order of choice, it was naturally from easy to hard.
First was the level of Dangling Fisher.
Han Fei said, “Don’t mind the low level. Ruins-type secret realms are the most mysterious. There will always be some strange information left inside. Let’s check them one by one.”
After opening a Dangling Fisher Star Bead, they walked in and appeared in a sunken s.h.i.+p.
“Huh?”
In the pitch-black water, a light flashed and something began to escape.
In such low-level ruins, no one would bother to chase after them.
Le Renkuang said, “Anti-Heaven Blade, are we back in the level-three fishery?”
Luo Xiaobai shook her head. “It might not be the level-three fishery. Places like the level-three fishery are surrounded by humans, but this doesn’t eliminate the possibility that there are Anti-Heaven Blades in the outside world. There are many such waters, so there should be many relatively safe places.”
Han Fei released his aura. Instantly, a large number of creatures on the huge sunken s.h.i.+p fled. There were jumping conchs, octopuses hidden in the shattered deck, squids, roe deers, red-browed shrimp, and all kinds of starfish…
In any case, the moment the aura of a strong master pressed down, more than a hundred living beings began to flee crazily. After all, the level of this secret realm was too low. The living beings here wouldn’t be too powerful.
Luo Xiaobai said, “Don’t destroy this secret realm. Leave it to Daji and the others in the future. To them, this secret realm is definitely dangerous.”
From the location of the creatures that had just escaped, ordinary Dangling Fishers would probably have to fight their way in. It was very dangerous.
Han Fei nodded. “Yes, we just need to observe carefully.”
First of all, from the outside, this sunken s.h.i.+p looked very ancient. It had a mast, but this thing couldn’t be seen on current fis.h.i.+ng boats.
Looking at the size of the sunken s.h.i.+p, it was more than 300 meters long. This was not something the small and ordinary fis.h.i.+ng boats could compare with.
Just from its appearance, Han Fei could confirm that this s.h.i.+p was the kind of normal s.h.i.+p he knew and wasn’t used for fis.h.i.+ng.
Furthermore, there were two rows of railings that resembled skeletons on both sides of the hull. Despite so many years, they hadn’t rotted, revealing the jade-like internal structure.
There was also a dragon’s head at the bow. It wasn’t a real dragon’s head, but like the head of the Green Swimming Dragon Han Fei had seen before.
As Luo Xiaobai swept up the vines, the hull that was covered by barnacle and seaweed was revealed. Exquisite patterns were revealed. These lines weren’t only made of seaweed, but also all kinds of strange beast patterns.
Upon seeing this, Han Fei’s eyes narrowed. “This s.h.i.+p left behind from ancient times seems to have been damaged in battle. However, the hull doesn’t rot and has the texture of an ultra-quality spiritual weapon.”
Zhang Xuanyu exclaimed, “Holy sh*t… This s.h.i.+p is very valuable!”
Le Renkuang was dumbfounded. “Rich? We should have come to the ruins long ago!”
She said, “I’ve seen similar patterns in some ancient books, but there are very few records.”
Luo Xiaobai said, “You have to look at the long-term. When we obtained this secret realm, it was impossible for the president and the others not to know the value of this s.h.i.+p. However, they didn’t touch it. First of all, the Thug Academy doesn’t need to sell ultra-quality spiritual weapons to make a living. Wealth is just wealth. It has no real meaning to us now.”
Han Fei nodded. “Yes, besides the value of this s.h.i.+p, there must be something more meaningful inside. Let’s split up and look around. There’s no danger here.”
