Chapter 91: Space-Time Secret Realm!

"By the way, I have been wanting to ask you, what is your ultimate goal in participating in this competition?"

"Does this Hundred Schools League have any special rewards?"

Jiang Che suddenly looked up and asked Luo Shuiyan.

Luo Shuiyan was only a freshman, and under normal circumstances, only fourth-year students were eligible to participate in this competition.

It was truly unprecedented for someone like Luo Shuiyan to participate three years early.

Jiang Che was very curious about what Luo Shuiyan's purpose was for being so persistent. "Don't worry, you will know soon."

Luo Shuiyan gave Jiang Che a mysterious smile.

While the two were talking, the figure in the very center above stepped forward two paces.

"Today! It is an important day for our Great Jin Dynasty, an important moment for young Beast Tamers across the world to prove their strength!"

"I am very happy to be able to participate in this grand event with everyone today."

"To see so many heaven-gifted talents gathered here is truly a blessing for our Great Jin Dynasty..."

Hearing the opening remarks from the Crown Prince of Da Jin in mid-air, Jiang Che felt his head buzzing, and his eyelids could not help but fight each other.

He did not know how many times he had heard such empty rhetoric in his past life.

Not only the Crown Prince of Da Jin, but even the two powerhouses beside him delivered a series of speeches one after another.

A full half-hour passed before they finally got to the main point.

The Crown Prince of Da Jin, dressed in a yellow robe, stood in the center and scanned the crowd.

"I believe everyone is aware that every Hundred Schools League is not just to screen out the heaven-gifted talents of our Great Jin Dynasty."

"It is more about providing sufficient incentives for these exceptionally gifted Beast Tamers so that they can go further."

"Therefore, the top ten in this Individual Tournament and the top three teams in the Team Tournament will have the opportunity to enter the Space-Time Secret Realm to cultivate!"

"And the top three in the Individual Tournament, as well as the first-place team in the Team Tournament, will also receive special rewards from our Great Jin Dynasty!"

As the words of the Crown Prince of Da Jin fell, exclamations erupted all around, and the scene became incredibly boisterous.

Many participants cheered and jumped for joy, their faces full of excitement and thrill.

Many people who came to participate in this Hundred Schools League only did so for the sake of fame, wanting to show off on such an occasion.

Most people were actually there for the final rewards of the competition.

Entering the Space-Time Secret Realm was an opportunity many geniuses dreamed of.

"Space-Time Secret Realm? What is that?"

Jiang Che asked with some confusion.

Although he had been in this world for a while, Jiang Che had always been in a state of lying flat.

He hadn't even touched human textbooks or classics, so seeing the cheers of the people around him, Jiang Che was completely bewildered.

"It is an extremely strange Secret Realm, controlled by the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty."

"This Secret Realm only opens once every fifteen years; it can be said that it is very rare for ordinary people to enter and cultivate."

"The Space-Time Secret Realm, as the name suggests, has a different flow of time within that space compared to the outside world."

"The flow of time inside the Secret Realm is faster than outside; ten days pass inside the Secret Realm, while only one day passes outside."

After hearing Luo Shuiyan's explanation, Jiang Che's eyes lit up immediately, and he felt very surprised.

"My goodness, one day equals ten days?! Doesn't that mean the cultivation efficiency is directly increased tenfold?!"

"If that's the case, wouldn't the Beast Tamers of the Great Jin Dynasty royal family all be top-tier powerhouses?"

Jiang Che did not expect that such a magical Secret Realm existed.

"The opening of this Secret Realm is limited; it can only be opened once every fifteen years, and the time one can stay each time is also limited."

"If one stays in the Secret Realm for a full three hundred days, they will be forcibly sent to the outside world by the mysterious power of the Secret Realm," Luo Shuiyan explained patiently.

"So there are limitations, but this is already very good."

Jiang Che now understood why Luo Shuiyan had insisted on participating in this competition earlier.

It turned out that this Space-Time Secret Realm only opened once every fifteen years; if she missed this session, she would have no chance.

"The Space-Time Secret Realm is already this awesome, so what will the special reward for first place be?"

"The special reward for first place is that the royal family of the Great Jin Dynasty will give the Beast Tamer a chance to choose a top-tier Spirit Beast."

In her past life, Luo Shuiyan had successfully contracted a Red Flame Phoenix Bird with a hidden bloodline precisely by winning first place in the Hundred Schools League.

"I can also pick a top-tier Spirit Beast? Doesn't that mean I will soon have a powerful little brother?"

After hearing these rewards, Jiang Che felt a bit expectant for a moment.

"I believe everyone has been waiting for a long time; it seems everyone is looking forward to the performance of the heroes from all walks of life."

"Next, Dean Chen of the Tianlong Academy will preside over this Hundred Schools League!"

Tianlong Academy is the best Beast Tamer Academy in the Imperial Capital.

And because it is located in the Imperial Capital, this academy can be said to serve the royal family exclusively.

The status of the Dean of Tianlong Academy is naturally extraordinary.

The rules for this Hundred Schools League were actually not much different from the selection tournament Jiang Che had previously participated in within his sect.

After all, at the end of the day, it was all about selecting the strongest.

In the pursuit of fairness and justice, the rules were basically the same.

It was just that this Hundred Schools League had more participating academies, more Beast Tamers, and was more chaotic and harder to manage.

Even the competition process was exactly the same.

Both held the Individual Tournament in the morning and the Team Tournament in the afternoon.

Jiang Che suspected that the rules of Tianque Academy were formulated according to the Hundred Schools League.

This was to allow the students to adapt to the rhythm of battle more quickly.

After all the various miscellaneous matters were resolved, the official competition finally began.

As the sound of horns rang out all around, the noise from the spectator stands gradually faded.

On this plaza, there were quite a few stone arenas, though they were much larger in area than those at Tianque Academy.

These arenas could host multiple battles simultaneously, and before long, it was Luo Shuiyan's turn to take the stage.

When her name was called, many people looked in her direction.

To call Luo Shuiyan a prominent figure nowadays would not be an exaggeration.

Whether it was her own strength and talent, Jiang Che whose bloodline was being speculated about, or Elder Guo behind her, all of it was enough to make her the center of attention.

Luo Shuiyan was very calm about this, walking toward the arena without joy or sorrow.

In an instant, she could feel the gazes from all directions around her; some were scrutinizing, some doubtful, and some curious.

In this Hundred Schools League, there was no telling how many people wanted to uncover her true capabilities.

"Go, Shui Yan, you are the best."

"Go, Shui Yan, let these guys see that us freshmen aren't to be trifled with!"

The Individual Tournament did not involve Yi Zimeng and the others, so they were all on the spectator stands cheering for Luo Shuiyan.

The Dean of Tianque Academy, along with a group of elders and Instructors, also stood beside them, watching Luo Shuiyan with smiles on their faces.

Their gazes were filled with anticipation.
