Benny looked at Ronan and said, "This is an opportunity for you. The exploration of the large Secret Realm Space ’virgin land’ is always synonymous with opportunity and benefits. As long as you can get in and come out alive, the resources you obtain would at least be worth ten years of accumulation by yourself...
Of course, the prerequisite is that you can squeeze in and qualify to participate in this exploration."
Ronan couldn’t help asking, "What are the selection criteria?"
"It depends on the danger level of the Secret Realm and the number of people allowed to enter."
Benny shook his head, "It varies every time. The larger the Secret Realm Space exploration, the higher the requirements. Just try to push yourself to the front of the line as much as possible. If your strength is sufficient, you will always secure a spot to enter..."
Ronan nodded, then saw Benny furrowing his brows, "But three months is indeed a short time for you... Although the selection contest involves randomly assigned opponents, it’s not hard to interfere and manipulate the outcome.
You are bound to encounter Travis, just that we don’t know in which round you’ll be defeated..."
Ronan frowned, "Aren’t you the one who wanted me to challenge him after three months? Nothing has changed in terms of timing."
Benny glanced at him indifferently, "I was just saying that to inspire your fighting spirit, wasn’t I?"
Ronan’s expression became slightly choked.
"Do you really think that I’m counting on you to reach Level 2 within three months? Or to create the amazing feat of a Level 1 wizard defeating the Third Ring Genius Travis, a Second-level Wizard?"
Benny spoke calmly, "With your current strength, even if you have comprehended two types of Extraordinary Magic Realms, you’re still no match for Travis... Since he can be a Third Ring wizard, he likely possesses the Extraordinary Magic Domain Power. Coupled with the crushing superiority of being one level higher, you have no chance of winning...
Benny’s tone shifted as he spoke softly, "Losing to Travis doesn’t mean you have no hope of entering the Mirror Court for exploration...
The selection contest is watched even by Ring Masters.
It has always been the best opportunity for Magic Ring Wizards to showcase themselves.
As a recent notable rising star among the Third Ring wizards, Travis will definitely receive a lot of attention.
When the time comes, if you fight with all your might, even if you can’t beat him, as long as you lose in a brilliant manner, you can still make a name for yourself in one battle... Your final ranking won’t be low either, and you might still have a chance to get into the first batch entering the Mirror Court...
As I said, true geniuses will not be constrained or affected by any conspiratorial tactics, the rules of the Magic Ring are still fairly just.
Plus, you’ve also obtained the Brain-eating Flower, which increases your odds."
Benny stared at the whole Brain-eating Flower sealed in ice by Ronan, his eyes showing a strange expression as he said in a low voice, "Honestly, I really didn’t expect it.
Under the circumstances where Travis sent a Second-level Wizard after you, you actually managed to bring back the Brain-eating Flower.
Benny glanced at Ronan, smelling the faint blood scent emanating from him, and noticing the different aura of "Weakness" from before. He said with slight amazement, "You’ve suffered some injuries, but you’ve also returned in one piece.
Achieving this at the Intermediate Level 1 Stage is really remarkable."
Faced with Benny’s rare affirmation and praise, Ronan didn’t speak.
He just sat very quietly, as if pondering something on his own.
A moment later, a look of ’understanding’ appeared on his face. He looked at Benny, nodded, and spoke softly, "So, I just need to lose brilliantly enough.
I’ll remember that...Benny."
