As the only S-class Secret Realm in a hundred nearby districts, the Black and White Dragon Nest corresponding to the Time-Space Rift attracted quite a crowd of spectators.
Even with their strength, it was impossible for them to conquer such a Secret Realm, but witnessing such a large-scale Time-Space Rift was also a valuable experience.
Many players even saw it as a good opportunity to meet other players, gathering in small groups to chat. If there was a chance to recruit any lone players to their Guilds, they certainly wouldn't pass it up.
However, these discussions and idle chatter vanished after a giant bird descended.
Seeing the distinctly blue giant bird and the male and female figures on its back, the players at the scene immediately became excited.
It was Luo and Yue Li!
If anyone was qualified to conquer an S-class Secret Realm at this stage, the first names that came to mind for players worldwide were these two.
Even though they were no longer the only two Hall-Level players in Dream World, other Hall-Level players had yet to even challenge an A-class Secret Realm, so naturally, they didn't compare to Luo and Yue Li in everyone's eyes.
What was more important was that Luo had already had a Spiritual Beast breakthrough to the Epic Rank.
The S-class Secret Realm had appeared precisely because of his breakthrough.
The mere arrival of the two stirred up immense excitement among the countless players present.
"Luo! Yue Li! Go for it!" a player from Yanhuang Country couldn't help but shout out.
Yue Li threw a friendly smile at the player and then signaled Xiao Qing to enter the Secret Realm.
The gusting wind rose, and the two disappeared inside the Time-Space Rift.
The next moment, players at the scene began sending messages across the global and Guild channels.
News of Luo and Yue Li's venture into the S-class Secret Realm swept through the entire Dream World.
In District 5149, three players and their Contracted Spiritual Beasts were instantly teleported outside the Time-Space Rift, all wearing smiles as they watched the disappearing rift.
"We did it!" Red Leaf exclaimed joyfully, "Even though it's just a B-class, 1-star Secret Realm, it's still B-class!"
"Maybe next time, we can try the 2-star difficulty?" Leonhardt said cheerily, glancing at the global channel and clicking his tongue, "The Guild Leader and Deputy Guild Leader have gone to challenge the S-class Secret Realm; we can't fall too far behind."
"The Guild Leader is awake?" Red Leaf couldn't help but look surprised, "That's really great news."
"Are we going to challenge the next B-class Secret Realm?" Evelyn tilted her head to the side and asked.
With Leonhardt, who was proficient in both Russian and Chinese, facilitating their communication, the exchange between the two women had become much smoother.
"Let's call it a day," Red Leaf said, glancing at their Spiritual Beasts who were showing signs of fatigue, and shook her head, "Our strength isn't enough to take on consecutive B-class challenges yet."
"Miss Red Leaf is right," Leonhardt nodded in agreement, "Then, lovely ladies, it seems we might have to part ways for now."
"Mr. Leonhardt, do you have something else to do?" Red Leaf inquired curiously.
"Well... I have some Advanced Resources needed for one of my Contracted Spiritual Beasts, and there's a Clan Spiritual Beast challenge in District 5148 that's not far from here; I'm thinking of giving it a try," Leonhardt explained with a smile.
"We can go together!" Red Leaf stated confidently, puffing out her chest, "We're all Guild members, we should help each other."
"Challenging a Clan Spiritual Beast allows us to use our Player Talents, and the talents of Evelyn and me are quite powerful. Together we've successfully challenged a Clan Spiritual Beast in this district before!"
"You agree, right? Evelyn."
"Yep." Evelyn nodded, glancing at Leonhardt before crossing her arms, "If you need help, I don't mind assisting you."
"Is that so... then I won't be shy." Leonhardt chuckled after a moment's thought, "It's an honor to receive help from two lovely ladies."
Behind him, a three-meter-long lizard-like Spiritual Beast raised its head and roared.
"The Single-Horned Earth Dragon excels in speed; riding it, we can reach our destination faster."
Soon, the Single-Horned Earth Dragon, with its robust limbs, was sprinting towards area 5148, carrying the three of them.
Over an hour later, the trio arrived at a valley.
"The District Spiritual Beast of area 5148 is in here," Leonhardt said with a grave expression, "This District Spiritual Beast is very strong, its Rank has reached Hall Level Lv39."
"No worries, I can reduce its strength by half!" Red Leaf exclaimed as she swung her arm vigorously in the air, "The rest is up to you and Evelyn."
"The Spiritual Scale is truly a magical Talent." Having already learned about Red Leaf's talent on the road, Leonhardt smiled faintly, leading the two women into the valley.
Inside the valley, a giant scorpion covered in rocky armor studded with stone spikes emerged from beneath the earth, unleashing a terrifying presence befitting its Hall Rank, while its cold eyes mercilessly surveyed the three challengers, its sharp stinger quivering, ready to strike.
[Triggered District Spiritual Beast Challenge, Opponent: Hall Level Lv39 Thorny Armored Rock Scorpion]
[Number of Challengers: 3/10]
"Suppress!" Red Leaf yelled, and the only Spiritual Beast among the three behind her that hadn't reached the Elite Rank burst into light.
The Thorny Armored Rock Scorpion, which had just entered the challenge mode, also emitted light.
Watching the Thorny Armored Rock Scorpion's momentum drastically decrease and its strength halve in an instant, Leonhardt gave Red Leaf a thumbs up—behind him, the three Elite Rank Spiritual Beasts, with their boosted Clan Value, rapidly charged at the Thorny Armored Rock Scorpion.
But someone was faster.
The three Elite Rank Spiritual Beasts surged with golden light, their momentum surpassing what was expected of their original rank, and they pounced on the Thorny Armored Rock Scorpion even quicker.
Before Leonhardt's three Spiritual Beasts could strike, the Thorny Armored Rock Scorpion was instantly dealt a heavy blow, dissipating into a shower of light moments later, leaving behind only a piece of Advanced Resources lying quietly on the ground.
Seeing this, Leonhardt paused, then turned in surprise to the twin-tailed little girl beside him, holding a blade of grass.
"Despite Evelyn's young age, she is very capable." Seeing Leonhardt's astonishment, Red Leaf chuckled.
"When we defeated the District Spiritual Beast together previously, I was still an Official Level Player. After using the Spiritual Scale to suppress the District Spiritual Beast, it took Evelyn no time at all to end the battle."
"Yes, she is indeed incredible." Leonhardt regained his composure and, unable to help himself, smiled and gave Evelyn a thumbs up as well, then walked towards the piece of resource on the ground.
Evelyn held her head even higher, a trace of pride adorning her delicate face.
"It's getting late, we should head back." After securing the Advanced Resources, Leonhardt checked the time, "To thank you two lovely ladies for your help, once we return to the Guild, I'll let you taste my cooking."
"I'm quite confident about my culinary skills."
