Chapter 48: Is This a Secret? How Does Everyone Know About It?

Lin Xue'er and the other two looked Jiang Che up and down, even reaching out to touch him all over, which gave Jiang Che quite a start.

Although Jiang Che liked to feast his eyes on such things in his daily life, being treated with such enthusiasm by several beauties was more than he could handle.

Fortunately, Luo Shuiyan walked over at this moment, and Jiang Che jumped directly into her arms, finally escaping the clutches of Lin Xue'er and the others.

Jiang Che couldn't help but sigh that Yi Zimeng was simply a succubus...

Just a moment ago, Yi Zimeng had buried him right in her cleavage, and Jiang Che's little heart had almost jumped out of his chest.

"That is a type of martial technique of Xiaobai's; its attack speed is relatively fast."

Luo Shuiyan explained briefly to Jiang Che, although even she herself did not know what the Kirin Seal was.

At this moment, in the place where Jiang Che and the others had killed that Tier 3 Savage Bull, a student appeared.

"This is the corpse of a Tier 3 Savage Bull, and there are some signs of fighting around it; it seems not much time has passed."

Qi Hai came to the side of the Savage Bull's corpse and frowned as he carefully observed it.

Because they were in a rush to reach the location of the seal from Luo Shuiyan's past-life memories.

She had not spent the effort to burn the massive corpse of the Savage Bull.

Looking at the multiple wounds on the Savage Bull and that one enormous blood hole, Qi Hai's brows were locked tight.

"To be able to kill a Tier 3 Magic Beast, does the academy have two experts with fire and lightning attributes?"

Looking at the wounds sustained by the Savage Bull, Qi Hai was extremely astonished.

The person capable of killing a Tier 3 Magic Beast must certainly possess formidable strength.

The most critical point was that there were two such people, which left Qi Hai feeling very surprised.

However, regarding this, Qi Hai only frowned and did not take it to heart.

After all, Tianque Academy was, at the very least, the number one Beast-Taming Academy near Xi'an Ancient City; it was normal for it to be full of hidden talents.

According to the records in the ancient texts, Qi Hai identified the direction and headed toward the treasure.

But as he continued on his way, Qi Hai was astonished to discover that while walking along this path, he could frequently encounter signs of fighting and the corpses of Magic Beasts!

If it were just a coincidence, that would be one thing.

The most critical point was that Qi Hai could distinguish from these Magic Beast corpses and the surrounding destruction that those who took action were basically experts with fire and lightning attributes! If it happened once or twice, it could be called a coincidence, but if it was like this the whole way, then it could no longer be explained by coincidence.

"Could it be that others know about this treasure?!"

Seeing this situation along the road, Qi Hai could not help but feel a bit panicked.

Clearly, someone had already gotten ahead of him, and their strength was no small matter.

Not daring to delay any longer, Qi Hai hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Boss Zhang, it seems Luo Shuiyan and the others entered the depths of the mountain range from this direction."

Beside a deep ravine, Zhang Kuang and his group of Ordinary Class members were gathered.

At this moment, near them, the only path that could lead into the depths of the mountain range was the small trail before them.

And on both sides of this road were bottomless mountain ravines.

Someone picked up a stone and threw it into the ravine, only to hear the sound of it colliding all the way down, unable to see the bottom at all.

Some were even so scared their legs went weak, clutching the arms of the people next to them tightly, terrified of falling off the ravines on either side.

"I didn't expect these four women to be so bold; are they all tired of living?"

"You have to know that most of the things inside are Tier 3 Magic Beasts; how could the four of them dare to go so deep?!"

Zhang Kuang was astonished; he could not understand how Luo Shuiyan and the others could be so daring.

Under normal circumstances, first-year students would choose to practice on the outskirts after entering the Secret Realm.

After all, even if a team enters the Secret Realm, they still need to undergo some coordination and familiarization with each other.

If there are errors in the cooperation between unfamiliar teammates, rashly entering could very likely lead to problems.

Only after their own strength has improved and their combat experience has matured would a small number of people choose to enter the depths to take risks, wanting to further break through themselves.

Almost no one would choose to charge directly into the depths on the first day after the Secret Realm opens.

Such people are either very confident in their own strength, or they are fools who are newborn calves unafraid of tigers.

"Kid, I seem to have seen this place in a scroll of ancient texts..."

"It might be related to an ancient great power; perhaps there are treasures left inside!"

An aged voice suddenly rang out in Zhang Kuang's ear.

Zhang Kuang, who had been deep in thought, had his eyes light up; he still trusted the soul within his body very much.

After all, that was an old monster who had lived for countless years and knew many secrets; this was the capital for Zhang Kuang's confidence.

It was just that Zhang Kuang still had some doubts, "Lao Huang, this Secret Realm has been developed by Tianque Academy for so many years; if there really were any treasures, are you sure it would still be our turn?"

"Kid, even if it is a Secret Realm, it is not necessarily fully developed by people; perhaps there are still undiscovered seals inside."

"Good! I believe you! Then I will gamble on it once!"

At the thought of obtaining an ancient secret treasure, Zhang Kuang's face showed excitement.

Immediately, he led the dozen or so Ordinary Class students beside him and stepped onto the small path flanked by ravines.

Time passed, and soon it was the afternoon of the second day of the Secret Realm opening. "This is it!"

Before the eyes of Luo Shuiyan and the others was an extremely vast basin.

The group even suspected that the basin before them was probably larger than Xi'an Ancient City, only it looked somewhat plain and unremarkable.

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?"

Lin Xue'er and the other two, who had been traveling quickly, were all a bit unaccustomed to seeing Luo Shuiyan stop suddenly.

"We have arrived at our destination."

Luo Shuiyan spoke indifferently, the corners of her mouth unable to help but curl up slightly.

"There is nothing here? Just a very large basin."

Little Tiger could not help but complain.

"We ran through the night for so long just to find a place like this?"

"Is there anything unusual about this place?"

Luo Shuiyan looked at the group and smiled slightly, her face full of mystery.

"Don't be impatient; an Ancient Restriction is set up inside here, reinforced by a powerful seal, so we cannot see anything."

"What is in front is merely a glamour; in reality, the interior contains a world of its own."

Immediately following this, under the gaze of the group, Luo Shuiyan raised both hands and formed a strange seal.

As the spirit seal in Luo Shuiyan's hands formed, the scene in front changed instantly; on the originally plain and unremarkable basin, palace after palace and pavilion after pavilion appeared.

Those magnificent halls stood in great numbers, and even from a distance, one could feel the extraordinariness of this place in the past; it was simply like a fairyland, leaving the group dumbfounded.

Lin Xue'er and the other two were all stunned on the spot, their eyes filled with shock.

They had never imagined that there would be such a magical place in this entry-level Secret Realm!

However, what the group was even more curious about was how Luo Shuiyan knew about such a place in advance and had moved toward it unwaveringly the whole way.

One must know that even when they reached the vicinity, they had not seen through the glamour.

They had only thought it was an ordinary basin; if it were other cultivators, they probably would not have headed toward a place with such thin spiritual energy and so few Spirit Beasts.

Next, the group noticed that there seemed to be a transparent energy film on the outer perimeter of these pavilions and palaces.

Reaching out to touch it, it felt just like a wall.

Little Tiger tried to attack, but when its tiger claws landed on this defensive film, it remained completely motionless, not even causing a ripple.

"Boss, I can't break this thing; why don't you give it a try?"

Hearing Little Tiger's words, Jiang Che also became interested.

He jumped out from Yi Zimeng's embrace and came before the barrier.

Bang! Jiang Che's speed was extremely fast, just like a bolt of white lightning streaking across the air.

Although his current appearance was still that of a cute, snow-white little beast.

His body had long since been transformed by the Kirin Essence Blood.

As Jiang Che struck, a huge roar rang out, making one's scalp feel numb.

Yet even Jiang Che was still unable to shake this transparent barrier.

"Don't waste your energy; this is an Ancient Restriction. With our current strength, it is impossible to force it open."

Watching the few Spirit Beasts eager to try, Luo Shuiyan could not help but remind them.

"However, you don't need to worry. So much time has passed; even if this restriction was extremely powerful back then, its power must be far inferior to what it once was. It is actually not difficult to undo it."

Following this, Luo Shuiyan sat cross-legged, forming strange seals with her hands, and rays of divine light flickered between them.

"Shui Yan, you actually understand the method of restrictions!"

Lin Xue'er and the other two looked at Luo Shuiyan at this moment, speechless with surprise for a time.

They had not expected that, as fellow new students, the gap between themselves and Luo Shuiyan would be so large.

Luo Shuiyan was not only powerful in combat, but she had even dabbled in this very difficult-to-master method of restrictions.

To study restrictions, it is not only very difficult to delve into, but it also requires a large amount of time.

Seeing that Luo Shuiyan not only improved her cultivation quickly but also studied restrictions so profoundly, this made Yi Zimeng even more firm in her inner thoughts.

In the future, she must hold onto this thigh tightly!

Hu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, "She actually understands so much; it seems this Luo Shuiyan's background must be quite extraordinary."

Among the three women, only Lin Xue'er was full of excitement at this moment, purely happy for her best friend.

As for Luo Shuiyan knowing how to break the restriction method, Jiang Che was not surprised at all.

After all, in her past life, Luo Shuiyan was an Empress; it was perfectly normal for her to be proficient in these aspects.

Next, Lin Xue'er and the other two surrounded Luo Shuiyan, looking around cautiously to help guard her.

"What is the situation? These guys actually have the same goal as me."

"How on earth did they find such a hidden place?!"

Two hours later, Qi Hai also arrived nearby following the map; separated by a great distance, he saw Luo Shuiyan's group.

Most crucially, Qi Hai could feel that there was movement behind him as well; clearly, another group of people was approaching this direction.
