Chapter 306: Heading Out

"The Lingze Secret Realm is opening?" Chen Fan looked at the message on his military wristwatch, pleasantly surprised!

During this time, because his soul was damaged, he had been unable to break through to a fifth-tier ability user, which had made him anxious.

Now, seeing this news, he was ecstatic.

After saying goodbye to Ye Wentian, Chen Fan returned to the Jiangcai Camp at the first opportunity.

Upon learning of his return, Zhan Ye called everyone to the training ground.

He stood at the very front of the crowd, his voice booming: "I think many students have already guessed the purpose of this gathering. That's right, the Lingze Secret Realm is opening!"

After Zhan Ye finished speaking, most of the students in the Jiangcai Camp were uninterested. After all, the quotas for this Lingze Secret Realm had long been decided.

But Zhan Ye's next words made the students of the Jiangcai Camp eager to try.

"The Lingze Secret Realm only allows 300 people to enter each time. In the past, our Daxia occupied 10 entry quotas. But this year, Russia ceded five quotas to our Daxia, which means our Daxia can have 15 people enter the Lingze Secret Realm this year."

"Of these 15 quotas, our Zhenyuan Army received 6, other military regions received 6, and the remaining three quotas were given to major universities."

As soon as the words fell, everyone became excited.

"Our Zhenyuan Army actually got one more quota than usual this year! Does that mean we still have a chance to snatch this remaining quota?"

"It's not just one quota; don't forget that Chu Xiong and Han Feng died in battle, so two quotas were already vacated, meaning there should be three quotas left."

While everyone was discussing, Zhan Ye said again: "Don't even think about the two quotas from Chu Xiong and Han Feng! Those belong to the five students who participated in the Star Glory Cold Iron Ore dispute. Although Chu Xiong and Han Feng died in battle, three survived, and they can discuss among themselves who gets these two quotas."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Chen Fan and the other two, their gazes filled with a bit of fawning.

Gao Hongfei and Zhong Li were already standing beside Chen Fan; the two looked at each other with a hint of respect. Now, in the hearts of these two, they had long since followed Chen Fan's lead.

"Brother Chen, we couldn't have won against Russia without you; you decide on these two quotas."

Chen Fan nodded, taking the responsibility without hesitation: "Give these two quotas to Ye Tingxuan and Zhan Le."

As soon as the words fell, everyone was disappointed, but Ye Tingxuan and Zhan Le were overjoyed.

Ye Tingxuan grabbed Chen Fan's arm, extremely excited, almost kissing him in public.

"Yay! Little Junior Brother, you're the best; Senior Sister loves you so much!"

Ye Tingxuan was truly excited; who wouldn't want the opportunity to enter the Lingze Secret Realm? With her status, it was easy to get a quota in the Zhenyuan Army, but she had never liked seeking special treatment.

Zhan Le, standing to the side, was even more flattered; he confirmed it with the person next to him repeatedly before believing the fact.

He looked at Chen Fan with gratitude in his eyes, while also feeling incredibly lucky—lucky that he had been assigned to night watch with Chen Fan that night.

Chen Fan smiled and pulled Ye Tingxuan's arm, telling her to calm down.

His reason for choosing the two was simple: the Lingze Secret Realm only allowed those below the Grandmaster level to participate, so Black Crow could not participate.

Among the remaining people in the Jiangcai Camp, these two were the most trustworthy, and both had recently made breakthroughs in strength, reaching the late sixth-tier, with their combat power also increasing significantly.

Zhan Ye nodded and said: "Then these two quotas go to Ye Tingxuan and Zhan Le. The sixth quota will be determined through a duel..."

Next, on the training ground, everyone was eager to try. After half a day, the quota was finally determined: a tall and thin young man named Shao Guowang.

As for why it wasn't Ye Wuque, it was because after losing to Chen Fan, he chose to break through to Grandmaster and had already graduated from the Jiangcai Camp, now serving in a military camp near Bing City.

Early the next morning, Chen Fan and the other five headed toward Kyoto City.

Their destination for this trip was the Shanhai Pavilion in Kyoto City.

There, they would rendezvous with others participating in the Lingze Secret Realm and receive the tokens for entering the secret realm.

Shanhai Pavilion was the center of power in Daxia, and Liang Zhongshu, known as the Eastern Brain, was stationed there.

When Chen Fan and the others arrived, everyone else participating in the secret realm had already arrived.

In the crowd, a young man with a high bridge of the nose fixed his gaze on Ye Tingxuan, his eyes lighting up.

He hurriedly walked up, grabbed Ye Tingxuan's arm, and said excitedly: "Little Sister Tingxuan, are you here to participate in the Lingze Secret Realm too?"

A flash of disgust crossed Ye Tingxuan's eyes; she quietly pulled her arm back and replied politely: "Yes!"

Bai Muyuan was immediately delighted: "Little Sister Tingxuan, follow me when you enter the Lingze Secret Realm; with me here, I can guarantee your safety!"

Ye Tingxuan politely refused: "No need, I'd rather act with my teammates."

Saying this, Ye Tingxuan leaned closer to Chen Fan, clearly unwilling to have contact with Bai Muyuan.

Bai Muyuan raised an eyebrow, scanned the Zhenyuan Army group, and a look of disdain flashed across his face: "Little Sister Tingxuan, following this bunch of trash is a waste of time. I can't guarantee anything else, but I can guarantee you'll get at least one Soul Spirit Fruit if you follow me."

This person spoke so harshly that the Zhenyuan Army members were immediately displeased.

"Who is this guy?" Chen Fan frowned and asked Ye Tingxuan beside him.

Ye Tingxuan whispered into Chen Fan's ear: "Little Junior Brother, he is the only son of Marshal Bai of the Qiongxiao Army, named Bai Muyuan. He has been pestering me for years and even proposed to me through his elders; he's so annoying!"

"Oh, the only son of a Martial Saint? No wonder he's so arrogant." Chen Fan understood.

At this time, Bai Muyuan saw Ye Tingxuan and Chen Fan being so intimate and was immediately displeased: "Yo, fourth-tier? Is this kind of trash qualified to participate in the Lingze Secret Realm now?"

Chen Fan's frown deepened.

Bai Muyuan continued to mock: "Kid, there are some people you can't touch. You should look in the mirror if you want to climb up by clinging to Tingxuan, you fourth-tier piece of trash!"

Chen Fan was just about to flare up, but the few people beside him took a step forward first.

Gao Hongfei pointed angrily at Bai Muyuan and said: "You surnamed Bai, how are you talking! Chen Fan is Marshal Ye's closed-door disciple and will lead our Zhenyuan Army in the future. Compared to you, his status will only be higher!"

"Bai Muyuan, even if you are the only son of a Martial Saint, are you qualified to inherit the Qiongxiao Army in the future? Chen Fan is the future successor personally chosen by Marshal Ye; how dare you insult him?"

At the same time, Zhong Li and Zhan Le also stepped forward, righteously defending Chen Fan.

A flash of shock crossed Bai Muyuan's eyes; the young man in front of him was actually Ye Wentian's closed-door disciple, which he couldn't understand no matter what.

"Could that old thing be senile?" he thought to himself.

But immediately, he still showed disdain; Chen Fan might have some talent to be favored by Ye Wentian, but with only fourth-tier cultivation, he was still far from catching up to him.

"Kid, the Lingze Secret Realm is very dangerous; it would be interesting if you accidentally died inside."

When he said the word "die," a trace of cruelty flashed across his face.

"You surnamed Bai, what do you mean!" The few people from the Jiangcai Camp stared fixedly at Bai Muyuan.

"What? Is your Zhenyuan Army not convinced? Why don't we have a fight first to see who is stronger?" A few people quickly surrounded Bai Muyuan.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the field was tense.

Just then, a light cough sounded, and everyone felt their souls tremble, as if facing a formidable enemy.
