Chapter 4: A Nourishing Life in the Wild

8:00 AM.

Ye Tian and the others from the Water Element Class headed to the F13 Secret Realm under the guidance of their teacher, Li Xuan; many were very nervous.

They had never truly engaged in a life-or-death battle, and this time they had to enter a Secret Realm; although they would not encounter any Beast, they would still have to fight and kill if they encountered wild beasts.

For some timid individuals, this was undoubtedly a huge trial.

Yet Ye Tian was very expectant.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the F13 Secret Realm.

At this time, students from other senior-year classes at Donghai No. 1 High School had also arrived, and a dense crowd of students gathered here.

Donghai No. 1 High School had various classes such as the Water Element Class and Fire Element Class, with a total of over seven hundred students, plus several Genius Classes which also had two or three hundred students.

Those Genius Classes were the ones Donghai No. 1 High School valued, while the class Ye Tian was in was merely an ordinary class.

To enter a Genius Class, one must possess an Innate Ability of C-Grade or higher.

Clearly, the current Ye Tian was not yet able to enter a Genius Class.

"Everyone come and collect a Wristwatch!" Teacher Li Xuan shouted.

This Wristwatch came with an Energy Shield; if one did not have this Wristwatch, it would be very easy to die.

Additionally, the Wristwatch also possessed a recording function.

"Students, after entering this Secret Realm, you need to stay for three days, and come out after three days. Of course, if you encounter a desperate situation, the Energy Shield will activate, and you will be immediately eliminated."

"The purpose of letting you enter the Secret Realm this time is to hone your combat abilities. You will encounter many wild beasts. After killing a wild beast, you can use the Wristwatch to take a photo and record it, which will be calculated as points. The ranking will be based on points, and the Top Ten will receive very generous rewards."

When Li Xuan mentioned the Top Ten, she shook her head slightly; she did not think the students in her class could reach the Top Ten.

There was no helping it; after all, there were already more than ten students in Donghai No. 1 High School whose cultivation had reached the level of Primary Ability User, so how could they compete with those Ability Users in the Genius Classes?

When all the students had received their Wristwatches, they entered the Secret Realm entrance one by one.

The Secret Realm entrance was a huge passage, about thirty meters long, with walls made entirely of various precious metals.

"These metals must be very precious; should I touch them?"

This thought only crossed his mind for a moment, but he dared not do such a thing.

Xia Country kept a very strict watch over Secret Realm entrances; if he touched these metals and caused even the slightest problem with them, he feared they would come looking for trouble, thereby exposing his abilities.

Therefore, he would not do such a thing.

After walking through the passage, he entered the Secret Realm; there was absolutely no sensation of teleportation throughout the entire process.

After entering the Secret Realm, ahead was an open space, and further ahead was a jungle.

Swish, swish, swish!!!

One student after another ran quickly, gradually scattering in all directions.

There were also students who wanted to team up, as it was safer, but it was also easier to attract the attention of wild beasts; if there happened to be a useless guy in the team, it would be a disaster.

Ye Tian did not cooperate with any classmates and left alone.

There were very few wild beasts near the Secret Realm entrance; they were almost nowhere to be seen.

To hunt wild beasts, one had to go deep into the Secret Realm.

Ye Tian was not in a hurry to hunt wild beasts; he had no interest in the Top Ten either. He came to the Secret Realm mainly to search for metal ores, spirit trees, Spirit Soil, spirit fire, and the like, so as to quickly improve his Innate Ability grade.

"A wild beast!"

Ye Tian saw a blood-colored wild wolf; it was very fast.

Just as this wild wolf approached within ten meters of him, he directly unleashed his Gold Needle Technique.

Pfft!

The Gold Needle Technique pierced directly through the wild wolf's skull, severely wounding it in one strike; it did not die immediately, clearly because the Gold Needle Technique had not penetrated its brain.

However, Ye Tian sprinted over and punched the wild wolf's head.

Crack!

The wild wolf's head shattered, and it was beaten to death by him.

Afterwards, Ye Tian took a photo and uploaded it; he clearly saw his points increase, gaining 2 points.

"The Gold Needle Technique is still not proficient enough; if I had pierced the wild wolf's heart directly, I could have killed it instantly in one strike!"

Ye Tian continued forward, but spirit trees were not that easy to find, and metal ores were not easy to find either.

More than an hour later.

Ye Tian had already killed three wild beasts, but still had no other gains.

Suddenly.

Boom!!!!

Not far ahead, the sounds of battle came.

Consequently, Ye Tian immediately ran over to take a look.

"It's those students from the Genius Classes!"

Ye Tian saw more than a dozen students surrounding and attacking a giant snake, attempting to snatch the fruit on the tree behind the giant snake.

"This giant snake is so strong; although it is not a true Beast, its defensive power is at least comparable to an average Beast. Even a Primary Ability User would find it difficult to break its defense. No wonder it requires these Genius Class students to surround and attack it!"

Ye Tian did not participate, but watched the show silently.

Suddenly.

A beautiful woman appeared and unleashed a Water-type Strange Technique—Water Bullet Technique.

Boom!!!!

The Water Bullet Technique killed the giant snake instantly.

"C-Grade Water-type Strange Technique—Water Bullet Technique, this beauty is Lin Qingya from the Genius Class!!!"

Ye Tian had heard of this talented beautiful girl; she was a B-grade Water Talent Ability user, and it was said her cultivation had already reached Intermediate Ability User, making her strength extremely formidable.

After Lin Qingya killed this giant snake, she looked directly at those students: "The Red Sun Fruit on this Red Sun Tree belongs to me; do you have any objections?"

The expressions of this group changed, looking somewhat annoyed, but they dared not refute her.

There was no help for it; this group of theirs only had a mere two Primary Ability Users, and everyone else was only a Peak Ability Apprentice; added together, they were still far from being Lin Qingya's match.

"Lin Qingya, we will leave right now!"

This group left crestfallen.

As for Lin Qingya, she plucked the dozen or so Red Sun Fruit from the tree and then quickly departed.

After they had left, Ye Tian finally walked over.

"Red Sun Fruit, good stuff; it can increase the cultivation of Fire Element Talent Ability users and can also significantly temper physical fitness; a single Red Sun Fruit can sell for 300,000!"

Ye Tian did not pay too much attention to the Red Sun Fruit; his gaze was fixed on this Red Sun Tree.

To him, the value of the Red Sun Tree was even greater than that of the Red Sun Fruit.

"This Red Sun Tree should be able to let my Wood Element rise to the D-grade Innate Ability level in one go."

Ye Tian touched the Red Sun Tree with both hands.

【Wood Power +1】

【Wood Power +1】

【Wood Power +1】

"The Wood Power is increasing so fast!"

After about an hour had passed, his Wood Element Innate Ability had indeed risen to D-grade.

"The leaves of the Red Sun Tree have withered, but the life aura is still very vigorous; I can continue to extract Wood Power!"

He would stay here today; he must raise his Wood Element Innate Ability to C-grade.

Noon.

Ye Tian was a bit hungry, so he cut off a piece of giant snake meat, then used the power of his Fire Element Innate Ability to create flames to ignite a pile of withered grass, preparing to make a barbecue to eat.

Next, he took out an iron block and used the power of his Metal Innate Ability to merge into the iron block, slowly shaping it, preparing to make an iron pot; this was a very simple operation and did not require knowing any Metal Ability.

Then, he also created iron blocks and an iron spoon.

After the iron pot was finished, he prepared to make snake soup.

He had brought seasonings, and here there was giant snake meat, as well as a pot.

As for water, although there was none nearby, he was a Water Element Innate Ability user after all!

"Water Sprinkling Technique, fall!"

After an F-grade Water-type Strange Technique was cast, there was already half a pot of water in the pot, and it was pure water, without pollution.

"For a five-element Innate Ability user like me, I can live very comfortably wherever I go!"

Ye Tian thought to himself.

Not long after, the giant snake barbecue and giant snake soup were both ready.
