When the light pillar shot into the sky, various Lords who were still in the Secret Realm rushed to the scene upon receiving the news.
Looking down from the sky, one could see numerous armies gathering rapidly towards the Secret Realm’s core where the light pillar stood.
Many Lords even sent out their airborne troops for reconnaissance.
For a while,
Various creatures such as Harpies, Battle Falcons, Giant Bats, Gargoyles, Griffins, and so on flew to great heights, conveying various messages with their cries.
Half an hour later, Mu Yuan also led his team to the light pillar’s location and observed the various assembled armies from afar.
There were leaders he had encountered before, such as the Female Leader and the Giant Lord, as well as unfamiliar Lords.
Among the remaining Lords, he also identified a vaguely familiar figure.
After thinking for a bit, “Oh, isn’t that the Lord Da Ri who ranks quite high?”
Lord Da Ri did leave a deep impression on Mu Yuan during the Lord Trial because he had a strong shooter wearing luxurious equipment.
Compared to before, the army of Lord Da Ri has become countless times more luxurious.
Decked out in luxurious attire, there were at least a dozen strong shooters possibly equipped with rare equipment, among which three were even more luxurious with armor emitting a faint golden glow. Mu Yuan could not help but suspect that they were rare three-star God Archers.
There were also several Imperial Guards and Mages.
Besides, ‘Magma Snakes’ of elemental life were prowling around.
Lord Da Ri was not hiding anything at all.
Ignoring the level factors, his current lineup is the most luxurious, standing out among the group of Lords.
“This damn second generation!”
“What’s the use of such luxury, most of his troops have not even crossed the professional level yet, it’s all just for show.”
“But give him a few more months to develop, this Lord Da Ri can easily surpass us, he can surpass us even when lying down. Is this the worth of top newcomers? Even at this moment, we must not underestimate the power of Lord Da Ri, we old lords might take a tumble if we’re not careful.”
“But the real opponents are those guys!”
In the Secret Realm, seventeen Lords gathered.
The majority were old Lords, but a few were newly appointed Lords.
Just like the Female Leader, she stopped at a considerable distance and watched from afar, not so confident about her own strength.
Several other Lords also had a similar stance, perhaps they were newcomers and already felt the gap in strength during their exploration of the Secret Realm.
Only Lord Da Ri, unlike a newcomer, was arrogant and confident, looking down on everything.
As a legitimate newcomer, Mu Yuan did not go too close. Instead, he surveyed everything from afar through the vision of the Hurricane War Hawk.
The pale yellow light pillar enveloped over thirty precious items.
On the light pillar, one after another Xuan Huang runes were engraved, vanishing bit by bit like sand in an hourglass. Once the runes completely disappeared and the enchantment opened, the scramble for the treasures would start immediately.
However,
‘Prompt: You have entered the core area of the Secret Realm.’
‘Prompt:
In the dark, a rule reminder resonated.
If anybody wanted to get the treasures here, they must obey the rules here— that is: battleground competition. For each treasure, there corresponds one battleground. The ownership of the treasure will be determined through one-on-one PKbattles.
Under the command of the Lords, a strong man can only appear once.
Mu Yuan wore a strange expression, “I wonder, did Xuan Country plagiarize its Battle Will mode from here? The difference is that there is the power of rules here, which allows you to fight to the death without actually dying.”
But outside the battlegrounds, it’s still a free environment, not as safe as the Secret Realm of Challenge. Lord Shepherd wouldn’t let down his guard due to that.
His entire body was still wrapped in a sturdy armor of the Fearless Knight, not leaving a single slit exposed.
A Lord wearing a silver armor stepped forward and declared loudly, “Everyone should be aware of the rules of the core area. Let’s proceed according to the rules. If anyone wants to sneak attack or sabotage, I, Wang Wang, will be the first one to object! What do you think?”
Wang Wang, the Looking Sky Lord.
He was an official Lord, and several of the old Lords present had a good relationship with him.
They all agreed in succession.
New Lords naturally had no objection, they were more afraid of being sneak attacked.
So, a simple agreement was formed that if anyone violated the rules, all would attack together and expel them from the Secret Realm. Under the lead of Wang Wang, one by one, the Lords introduced themselves to show that they would not break the agreement.
After all, once one violated the agreement and was attacked by the group, that’s a minor issue. Having a bad reputation among the Lords circle was a major issue.
“Lord of the Giant Stone Territory.”
Said the youth who possessed the Giant trump card.
Lord Liu Cheng of the Giant Stone Territory! He had a good reputation among the old players, and his Giant had won numerous brilliant battles.
“I, I am a new Lord, Yanyu Territory… Yu Siyu.”
The Female Leader from before said.
Right after she finished, a new Lord whispered, “It’s the Lord Yanyu who ranks 36th on the gold list! Rumor has it that she’s a super-rich lady!”
“There are only just over ten Lords here, but it has gathered three geniuses on the gold list! Lord Da Ri, Lord Yanyu, and Lord Lu Renyi. I didn’t expect that I would have the chance to appear on the same stage with these future big shots!”
The Lord circle is, after all, not that large.
Before the Lords Yanyu and Lu Renyi revealed their identities, they had already been recognized.
The ones who truly lacked a sense of presence, resembling passersby, held sideline roles or set up jokes, but were utterly ordinary and had no renown or recognition—were the few remaining newcomers.
Including, but not exclusively, a certain Mr. Mu.
The young man, Liu Cheng, looked over, frowning as if in thought.
The Female Leader, Yu Siyu, cast her gaze over.
Ordinary and unrecognizable, the man in black armor, Mu Yuan, hesitated slightly before slowly saying a few words, “Newcomer, Tianyuan.”
Suddenly, it was as if someone had hit the mute button.
The Secret Realm fell into silence.
A few Lords found the word “Tianyuan” familiar, while the majority of Lords were suddenly shocked.
The Lord Da Ri turned abruptly, his eyes wide open, staring intently with a blazing gaze.
“You, are you the Lord of Tianyuan?”
Astonishment, the Lord of Tianyuan was actually here…
Some Lords’ minds were already churning out thousands of words of articles.
The young man, Liu Cheng, was even more shocked: You’re not pretending to be green, you really are a Greenhand?! But he always felt more hurt, as if his heart had been heavily bombarded and couldn’t help but rise again.
Orz!
The Female Leader, Yu Siyu: I fought giants with the Big Boss Tianyuan!
After a short while,
Bang-!
The last rune on the pale yellow light pillar disappeared like grains of sand flowing away. The light pillar subsequently shattered and revealed… ‘small light pillars’ encasing various treasures.
A Lord immediately stepped forward, tapping lightly with his fingertip, and a power of the Rule fell and transformed into a battlefield.
Inside the battlefield, there stood a female gunslinger wearing a cowboy hat and holding two fire guns, standing proudly and waiting for the challengers to take the stage.
“If no one challenges within ten minutes, it will be considered a victory.”
At the same time, people in the Rule battlefield will neither die in battle nor maintain their status after the battle, eliminating the possibility of consecutive combat.
Lords who were confident and determined to get a certain treasure immediately sent out their main generals.
The battle between the major generals had already broken out.
“Lord of Tianyuan, fight with me!”
Who are you?
We are not familiar.
Aren’t you childish?
Mu Yuan deliberated on his strategy. There were over thirty treasures, and as a meek and pitiable new Lord, he couldn’t possibly seize them all.
He must make choices, he must decide.
He felt the onset of his choice disorder!
Of course, among these, some options could be directly ruled out, such as the ‘Nature Elf, ‘Ghosts of the Underworld’, ‘God Monster1 and a few other Rare Three-star Remnant Souls that were highly coveted by senior Lords.
Their acquisition difficulty was second only to The Hero’s Proof and the Key to the Secret Region.
“You want this blueprint, don’t you?”
Lord Da Ri, acting like he had seen through him, marched straight to the light pillar of the ‘Miracle Blueprint-Training Ground (Rare)’.
There was already a general from a lord’s house on the field here.
He was a Halberd Guard.
And Lord Da Ri directly sent out a shooter in gorgeous golden armor. As soon as he entered the field, his arrows shot out like a machine gun, pop, pop, pop.
Triple Shot! Charging Arrow!
Unveiling two skills at the same time, he certainly was a Rare Three-star God Archer. Wearing several pieces of Rare Equipment, his shot arrows were trailed by fiery tail flames, and when they collided with the long halberd of the Halberd Guard, they gave off explosive roars.
Brilliant sparks erupted continuously.
The Halberd Guard only charged halfway before he was slain on the spot amidst the popping exploding arrows.
The Halberd Guard’s master, a senior Lord who had been around for over half a year, wore an ugly expression, “His God Archer level isn’t high, if it weren’t… if it weren’t for his high-end gear, my Halberd Guard wouldn’t have…!!”
But Lord Da Ri didn’t spare him another glance, his gaze was burning, focusing on the distant figure clad in black armor, “Come on, fight with me, don’t be a wimp!”
This training field blueprint was indeed one of the treasures that Mu Yuan coveted.
It could enhance the level of focus and energy recovery speed of troops during practice.
It was useful for ordinary troops.
Even more so for ‘extremely gorgeous troops’ that had awakened their self-awareness, it had immense usability.
And so, he stepped forward.
Under the escort of Dead Bone and other generals.
He reached out and touched it.
The black-armored Lu Liu, one of the top four from Tianyuan, stepped onto the battlefield..
