“We must not take this lightly. Haven’t we suffered enough at the hands of the Human Race?”
“Even if the human territories are holding the peak championship match, their defense forces along the border are certainly more lax outwardly than inwardly.”
“If we’re not careful, if we fall into another ambush like before, and lose even more of us, the higher-ups will probably be furious!”
A large silhouette slowly opened its mouth, causing the space to tremble and hum.
“The humans have an old saying, ‘overstriding leads to torn balls.’ That’s why your previous attacks weren’t successful. You’ve regarded the entire border as your strategic layout!”
“Can you demonic beasts, with your inferior minds, compete with those humans who prosper through cunning and scheming?”
“Luckily, I’m here this time. Otherwise, you’d be waiting to face demons in the
Abyssal World as punishment from above!”
At this moment, a human-like silhouette slowly began to speak.
“Hmph!” The silhouette’s words attracted the disapproval of the others, but they also knew his words made sense, so they could only swallow their resentments and stayed silent.
“As soon as the finals start, lead your subordinates to confront the strong men on the border just as you have before.”
“And this time, our attack must be stronger than ever. We need to send out our entire army, even if it means risking a beast tide.”
“I want to make their strong men anxious, so they’ll have to pull troops from other powerful sources!”
“And then our target will show up!” the human-like figure said.
“Oh? What target?” A large silhouette asked in confusion.
“To prevent any information leaks among you, you don’t need to know the specifics. You shall wait for further instructions!”
The silhouette swung his hand impatiently, then immediately disappeared, leaving a flicker of a brown tail in the air.
“Hmph, I want to smack him dead with one slap!” A voice expressed dissatisfaction.
“If it weren’t for his cunning mind outmatching his military expertise, would he be able to act so arrogant in front of us? I could easily kill him in a single breath!” Another stout silhouette retorted.
“Enough, stop complaining. He is favored by the higher-ups!”
“Ye Feng, are you feeling rested?”
Zhou Wenlong and Ye Feng were preparing to travel to Xuanyuan City through the teleportation array of Hongguang Base City.
The teleportation array in Hongguang Base City conveniently led to Xuanyuan City, saving a lot of trouble for the duo. Unlike some other bases, they would need to transfer through each major city before reaching Xuanyuan City, which was much more inconvenient.
“Not bad, but it’s not as comfortable as my bed at home!”
Ye Feng had a habit of sleeping in his own bed. Although his dependence on sleep had lessened since his cultivation level increased, sleeping was ultimately more comfortable than not sleeping.
“Haha-” Zhou Wenlong laughed, amused that Ye Feng could still joke around at this time. It seemed like he genuinely wasn’t nervous.
“It’s surprising that a Level Six Secret Realm happened to emerge in the east of
Xuanyuan City. The Federation has even set the finals site within this Secret
Realm. ”
“Ye Feng, remember that the most dangerous thing in a Secret Realm isn’t the Demonic Beasts, but the human heart.”
“If it was in the Federation’s set field, there would be referees and powerful forces watching, but once you enter the Secret Realm, not only do you have to beware of the Demonic Beasts’ assaults but also the backstabbing of competitors! ”
Although Zhou Wenlong didn’t compete in the peak race finals during his own rise to power, he had watched previous finals held in Secret Realms through live broadcasts.
The tests there are much more than just tests of human nature!
“Thank you, City Lord, I understand!”
Ye Feng nodded. Having been a human for two lifetimes, he naturally understood that Zhou Wenlong’s concerns were far from pointless.
“By the way, last night I received a list of participating students in the finals from City Master Sun!”
“Did you know that in every peak race finals, the lowest level of geniuses participating is always S-level, and there are at least dozens of SS-level geniuses, with one of the finals even seeing nearly 200 SS-level geniuses!”
“However, this time it’s not that exaggerated. There are indeed forty-five
SS-level geniuses though!”
“You need to be careful around these people!”
Saying this, Zhou Wenlong passed the prepared intel to Ye Feng!
“Wang Hu, Qian He, Zhou Qing, Yun Ziyi, Lei Yunting!”
Ye Feng looked at the five photographs and information about each individual on the first page of the intel. The strength that these five had displayed outwardly was undoubtedly very powerful.
So strong, in fact, that without Zhou Wenlong’s specific intel, Ye Feng might have thought the talents of these five people were all SSS-level.
It’s no wonder these five were firmly positioned at the top of all the SS-level geniuses.
“Especially this Wang Hu, you need to be extra careful with him!”
“He was the very genius who disagreed with the idea that the peak races were only held for God-tier geniuses. Try not to clash with him in the Secret Realm until the final moment, as your current power is still inadequate!”
Ye Feng was aware of Zhou Wenlong’s good intentions, but this Wang Hu was indeed formidable. His personal strength had reached the Platinum Realm, and he had three Imperial Beasts.
Ye Feng suspected that Wang Hu’s three Imperial Beasts might have all advanced to the Diamond Realm, or even the Star Realm.
Through his journey so far, among the people he encountered who had awakened their talents and contracted an Imperial Beast during their coming-of-age ceremony in their senior year, most of them had cultivation levels in the Black Iron Realm or had a Bronze Mirror. Only a few talented individuals could reach the Silver Realm if they awakened an A-level talent or higher.
Those geniuses who have reached the Gold Realm or even the Platinum Realm are the result of arrangement by the powers that be behind them, and they have spent a lot of resources years ago to awaken their talents, and also cultivate their beasts to a high rank.
After all, the cost of achieving these two goals early is not low. Not everyone can afford it. The vast majority of the Human Race can only wait until their coming-of-age ceremony to awaken their talents and contract with an Imperial Beast.
It seems that in the Secret Realm, he must hurry to make the Titan Giant Ape and himself breakthrough. There are six days left until the cooldown time of the Cultivation Reciprocation is over.
And in six days, the finals will begin.
But before this, he and Zhou Wenlong have a task, which is to go to Xuanyuan City and see if they can buy some treasures to enhance the cultivation level of Beast Tamers and their beasts.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Xuanyuan City via the teleportation array!
Vast!
Magnificent!
Grandiose!
The insignificant feeling, like a grain in a vast sea, made Ye Feng interested in this majestic city imbued with a thick historical atmosphere.
But now was not the time to think about this. Ye Feng followed Zhou Wenlong and left the teleportation array.
Fortunately, Zhou Wenlong had been to Xuanyuan City before and knew where in the city he could find shops selling treasures for Beast Tamers and their beasts..
