Chapter 29: The Despised Three Man Team
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After the Beast Tamer Academy, the people from the Sword Cultivation Academy, the Talisman Cultivation Academy, and the Body Cultivation Academy also arrived.
After the leading teacher saw that everyone had arrived, it was time to open the secret realm.
“I believe that before coming here, your teacher has already told you about the situation of the Mystic Essence Secret Realm, so I won’t beat around the bush. Danger and opportunity coexist. There will definitely be disputes in the secret realm. You will have to rely on your own abilities
“Every student can have a chance to initiate a confrontation in the secret realm. They can also reject a confrontation with the other party. The leading teacher will decide the decision, so as to prevent the loss of lives.”
After the leading teacher explained the rules clearly, each inst.i.tution began to form their own teams. Needless to say, the four major inst.i.tutions had formed their own teams. As for the other inst.i.tutions, they had formed their own teams as well.
Only the Fifth High School was placed at the end of the line, so their position became a little awkward. The people from the four major schools looked down on them, and the other ordinary schools didn’t want their teams to be burdened.
Having more people meant that everyone would get fewer resources. Moreover, Lin Bai and the others had just broken through to the Xiantian state. Their strength was average, so they wouldn’t be of much use.
“The strength of the Fifth High School is average. I don’t know why they are able to come this time.”
“They have just broken through to the Xiantian state, so their strength is too weak. This is not enough for the secret realm at all.”
“We are already struggling. We can’t carry the three of them even if we bring them along.”
Hearing the whispers of the people around them, Chen Wu’s face was thin, and at this moment, it was already red. It was unknown whether she was angry or embarra.s.sed. Luo Qin’s expression was normal, but his fists were tightly clenched.
Only Lin Bai was calm and composed. It was fine if he did not go with this group of people. No one would interfere with his free movement.
When the people from the Body Cultivation Academy saw this, they said in a strange tone, “I think the three of you should just go home. The secret realm is too dangerous. With your cultivation level, I’m afraid you won’t be able to last half a day.”
Luo Qin’s bones creaked. He was about to rush forward, but he was stopped by Lin Bai. His black and white eyes had a hint of coldness, like an unfathomable ancient well.
The student who had mocked him earlier did not dare to meet Lin Bai’s gaze for a moment. He thought to himself, “What the h.e.l.l.”.
He was clearly just a person who had just broken through to the Xiantian state.
Looking at the backs of the people from the Body Cultivation Academy walking away, Luo Qin punched the tree trunk. The branches and leaves shook and countless leaves fell down. He was indignant. “Why did you stop me just now?”
Chen Wu couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “If I didn’t stop you, should I have allowed you to have an argument with them, and then see things get out of hand?”
Luo Qin thought about it, and it was indeed the case. He was just a little unwilling to accept it. “That group of people spoke a little too harshly. So what if they’re from the four great academies?”
“Look at the att.i.tude of the people from the Beast Tamer Academy. You should know that this group of people aren’t easy to get along with. They look down on us ordinary academies.”
Lin Bai consoled, “Actually, this is also good. We don’t have to be controlled by others.”
However, Chen Wu wasn’t that optimistic. She shook her head and said, “You don’t understand that since it’s your first time entering an secret realm. We don’t have many people, and our strength isn’t high either. If anything dangerous happens, I’m afraid we won’t be able to deal with it.”
After all, she was the daughter of the Wind and Cloud Dojo’s director. Although the Wind and Cloud Dojo was declining day by day, and the resources they received were very small, Chen Wu had been to an secret realm before, so she knew how dangerous it was.
“Since we’re already here, let’s just take things as they come.”
Luo Qin walked at the back, wanting to say something, but he hesitated. His expression was a little conflicted, as if he had finally made up his mind.
“Calm down and think about it. What they said makes sense. Our strength is indeed insufficient, so I’m afraid it won’t be of much benefit if we go.” After saying this, he felt a little dejected.
Luo Qin, who had always thought that he was talented, was nothing in this place. No wonder he felt so inferior. Although it was uncomfortable, he had to admit it.
Chen Wu could hear the intention of retreat in his words. “So you mean you want to quit?”
Luo Qin thought for a moment and nodded. “Mystic Essence Secret Realm is full of dangers. It’s better to wait until we are strong. It’s also possible to go to the outer area to train.”
Among the three of them, Lin Bai might be the only one who had the strength to go there. If Luo Qin went there, he might even drag down the two of them.
Chen Wu also felt that what he said made sense. She asked, “Lin Bai, what do you think?”
“I still want to go there. However, what you guys said is the truth. It’s also a good choice to train in the outer regions.”
There were also training grounds in the outer regions of the Mystic Essence Secret Realm. Although it could not be compared to the secret realm, it was much better compared to the outer regions. Some students of the academies would also choose this place.
Chen Wu said with some worry, “But it’s too dangerous for you to do it alone.”
Luo Qin also echoed from the side, “That’s right. If something happens and you don’t have anyone to look after you, why don’t you come with us to experience the outside world?”
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. Moreover, do I look like someone who would act rashly?”
Chen Wu and Luo Qin thought of Lin Bai’s unpredictable methods and the pet beast that was clearly a two-star talent, but was able to defeat other pet beasts of a higher level. It was no wonder that he dared to challenge it.
Perhaps he had other trump cards in his hands.
A huge magic formation rose from under Lin Bai’s feet. After the red and green lights flashed, a crisp bird cry could be heard, just like the cry of a young Phoenix.
Looking at the Scarlet Luan hovering in the sky, its fiery red feathers sparkled under the sunlight, making it look extraordinary and awe-inspiring. Luo Qin and Chen Wu were a little surprised.
“Did you tame this recently?”
They remembered that Lin Bai’s pet beast was a little green snake.
Chen Wu thought of Lin Bai’s alternate-heaven paradise, Scarlet Luan Peak. Could it be that he had tamed it there? As expected, she heard Lin Bai’s answer.
Luo Qin only found out about this today. He couldn’t help but click his tongue and say, “Kid, you’re lucky. Not only did you get a alternate-heaven paradise, you even got two for one. Why don’t I have such good luck?”
Everyone could contract a few pet beasts. The higher one’s strength was, the more they could contract. However, Luo Qin and Chen Wu hadn’t met a beast that suited their hearts. With the idea that it was better to not have one than get a random one so they only had one so far.
For the Scarlet Luan, it could be seen that there was still a lot of room for it to grow in the future. The magnificent tail feathers were not to be admired. Luo Qin and Chen Wu were both able to recognize the goods, and their hearts were instantly filled with envy.
Plus, there was Little Green, who could challenge people of a higher level. It was no wonder that Lin Bai was so confident. Luo Qin and Chen Wu immediately felt much more at ease.
“Oh right, take this. It will be useful in case you get injured.”
Chen Wu suddenly thought of something and stuffed a porcelain bottle into Lin Bai’s hand. Chen Kun was originally worried that she would get injured and get into an accident. He could faintly smell a medicinal fragrance. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary medicinal pill.
Lin Bai wanted to refuse, but seeing Chen Wu’s determined gaze, he could not refuse. “Thank you very much. You guys have to be careful too.”
“Okay,” Chen Wu replied softly. No one noticed that her earlobe hidden in her hair had secretly turned red.
Luo Qin was like a transparent person. He felt that Chen Wu was a little strange compared to usual, but he could not put his finger on it. He could not help but ask,
“What about mine? At least the three of us are together. Why does Lin Bai have one and not me?”
Chen Wu returned to her expressionless face. “Lin Bai is going to the secret realm, and it’s very dangerous. As for you –”
She pursed her lips and snorted coldly. The meaning behind her words was self-evident.
Luo Qin: ? ? ? ?
Alright. It was clearly a team of three people, but he wasn’t worthy.
After bidding farewell to Luo Qin and Chen Wu, Lin Bai set out on his journey alone.
Little Green and Little Red were more sensitive to auras and could easily find traces of demonic beasts.
At the same time, if there was any danger, they would be able to immediately warn everyone.
Accompanied by a cry, the Scarlet Luan flapped its wings and sped off in a certain direction. In a short while, it turned into a small black dot.
Lin Bai stared in the direction where he disappeared. “Little Red might have discovered something.”
At the same time, Little Green seemed to have sensed it too and also sped up and pointed the way for Lin Bai.
