“But instructor,” Su Yu questioned, “Tina’s rage has almost run dry right now, plus she’s badly injured. Is this really the right time for her to participate in the trial?”
Tina, however, forcibly rose to her feet: “I’m fine, I can handle it.”
Her Divine Bloodline began coursing in her body, causing a golden aura to emit around her once again. In just two breathes of time, her rage went from nearly exhausted back to 50%.
Su Yu and Marguerite:
What a bizarrely powerful recovery ability!
Marguerite couldn’t help but wipe the sweat off her face. She had planned to give Tina a hard time, but looking at it now…
Screw it! Where did this freak come from!
Marguerite shakily rose and walked towards the east side of the trial grounds, towards an entrance that led underground.
“If you’re ready, then follow me! I hope you can gain lots of benefits from this.”
“Thank you, instructor!”
Tina’s recovery ability was shocking – not only had her rage almost entirely replenished, her wounds were practically healed.
She and Su Yu followed behind Marguerite, heading towards the entrance.
As for their unicorns, they had to be temporarily left outside.
…
Entering the entrance, there was a spiral wooden staircase leading downward.
At the bottom of the staircase, it was pitch black, not a hint of light, which looked somewhat intimidating.
Although Tina was a powerful Level 3 warrior and a favored child of heaven bolstered by the Divine Bloodline, she was still a bit afraid of the dark.
Only one level underground, she began to slow down, carefully feeling her way forward in fear.
Noticing Tina’s uneasiness, Su Yu walked ahead and held her hand: “Tina, let me guide you.”
“Hmm.” Having her hand held by Su Yu, feeling the warmth in his palm, Tina’s cheeks slightly reddened.
In a daze, she felt as if she had returned to the times in Nolan Village when Su Yu would hold her hand in a similar manner, going to Baron Wilson to demand the money owed to them.
A feeling of warmth instantly welled up in her heart.
“Ding, [Tina Garcia]’s fondness of you +1.”
On the huge underground area of level four in the trial ground,
Marguerite fumbled out a key to turn on the switch on the wall.
Hum—
White, green, and blue lights shone respectively on the left, right, and frontal walls, and three teleport portals opened accordingly.
Marguerite explained: “I won’t bore you with the history and such of the secret realm. The white represents the Beginner Secret Realm, green is the Intermediate Secret Realm, and blue is the Advanced Secret Realm.”
“Tina, with your strength, you can easily pass the Beginner Realm, but the Intermediate Realm may pose some difficulty. If you’re confident, you can try it.”
“Thank you, instructor. I understand.”
Tina nodded, then turned to Su Yu: “You should choose, Nemesis. I trust your judgement.”
“Really? You won’t regret it?” Su Yu said with a smile.
“Of course not.” Tina looked at Su Yu, a playful glint in her eyes.
“Alright then.”
Su Yu held Tina’s hand and started walking towards the green portal.
However, when they were only a meter away from the portal, Su Yu suddenly made a 90-degree turn, pulling Tina into his embrace, and jumped into the blue portal.
“Yeah, that’s right…. Oh no!”
Marguerite initially approved when she saw Su Yu guiding Tina towards the green portal.
“This kid really has an eye for things, too bad he isn’t a Druid and cannot transform into a bear…..”
But when she saw Su Yu making a sudden turn and jumping into the blue portal with Tina, Marguerite was taken aback:
“Damn it, what is this boy up to?!”
“Why would they go into the Advanced Secret Realm?!”
“Given Tina’s current strength, she could very well die in there!”
“If Tina dies, there goes a year’s worth of my salary!”
“Damn that boy, I’m gonna tear him into pieces!!”
“I should have used up my anger to shut down this portal ahead of time.”
Overcome with regret, Instructor Marguerite stamped her foot in frustration.
After a while, she took a deep sigh, and moved her gaze away from the portal: “I better rush to find the Legion Leader. Tina, you better not die in there!”
Once again, Su Yu opened his eyes. He and Tina were now standing amidst a dark purple space.
The ground underneath them was an unidentified shade of dark purple, and all around them lay a deep purple desert. Above them spread a dark purple night sky dotted with massive stars, also emitting a dark purple glow.
“Damn! This is the Void!” Su Yu exclaimed in disbelief.
He was all too familiar with this environment.
When Su Yu had died in his previous life, the game he was playing had been on its seventh expansion pack, “Void Invasion”. He couldn’t be more familiar with these lumps of dark purple matter.
“What’s the Void?” Tina asked, a cute little question mark appearing above her.
Before Su Yu could answer, two monsters sprung up from the shadows on either side, lunging at them.
[Void Crawler lv50]
HP: ???
Spell Strength: ???
Abilities: [Dark Energy Surge], [Void Walking], [Void Stone (Passive)]
Description: Before learning how to walk in the Void, start by crawling!
[Void Wave Element lv50]
HP: ???
Attack Power: ???
Abilities: [Void Wave], [Void Imprisonment], [Element Modification (Passive)]
Description: Ride the wave, buddy!
Because of the massive level difference, Su Yu couldn’t see their specific attributes.
However, Tina quickly stepped in front of him, “Nemesis, let me protect you!”
Tina put away her lance and drew a pale golden longsword.
Then she leapt high into the air, her aura erupting like a golden sun, too dazzling to look at directly.
“Ha!”
With a heavy slash filled with accumulated power, her pale golden longsword cleaved down upon the [Void Crawler].
Crack!
The once intimidating Void creature was split in two with one strike!
The [Void Wave Element], seeing its partner killed, was suddenly taken aback.
But it quickly regained its composure, casting [Void Imprisonment].
A pale purple circle appeared above Tina’s head and quickly descended. Tina was caught off guard, the circle trapping her within and leaving her immobilized.
[Void Wave Element]: “@#$%^&*.”
Speaking in a language Tina didn’t understand, it charged straight at Su Yu.
But Su Yu understood. The Wave Element was saying, “You killed my companion, I will kill yours!”
So, Su Yu faintly smiled, “%￥#&^$#.”
Wave Element: “!!!”
Why does this human know the Void common language?
But while it was still shocked, Su Yu seized the opportunity to use the [Flash Skill] to leave his spot, reappearing next to Tina.
“Tina, it’s your turn.” Su Yu handed the [Senior Scholar Badge] to Tina.
“Alright, leave it to me!” Tina used the badge to quickly break free from the immobilization spell.
“Charge!”
“Blaze Slash!”
Her golden aura burned brightly like a flame.
With a slash to the waist, Tina split the [Void Wave Element] in half, turning it into two pools of black, oil-like viscous fluid.
“Tina, great job!” Su Yu gave Tina a thumbs up.
True to her reputation, Tina was still overpowering even within the Void!
But he didn’t want to be constantly protected by Tina, so he asked, “Tina, do you have anything to…”
“Of course.” Tina guessed what Su Yu wanted to say, and a light gold BUFF was launched.
[Tina Garcia’s Blessing]: Your level has been raised to match [Tina Garcia] for one hour.
“No one beats Tina in understanding people. She knew just what I needed,” Su Yu silently nodded as he looked at the buff in his status bar.
