Now that I've finally caught a wild one, how can I miss the chance to have a good look at this elite, this prodigy who passed the fifteenth level of the Trial Tower? It would be a waste of opportunity.

Upon hearing Su Ping's words, the senior surnamed Guo slightly raised his eyebrows, "Junior Su Ping, today the entrance to the Linhai Secret Realm is closed for an update period—other students are not allowed to enter. How about joining our team to go to the Bug Nest Secret Realm instead? Whatever materials you gather, we can help you exchange them for credits. What do you say?"

"Exchange with credits?"

Su Ping wasn't very familiar with the rules within the Secret Realms.

Dong Muxuan, who was beside them, was already smiling as he explained, "That's right. Within the Secret Realm, there are resources to be gathered, and you can also have real battles in the field with ferocious Pet Beasts! However, this Secret Realm has a special Time Series Trait, so the resources that drop aren't actually real."

"To take them out, you need to use credits at the Secret Realm's entrance to condense them into real resources. The more Advanced Level the resources, the more credits are needed! However, it's much cheaper than buying them in the outside world or exchanging them directly with credits."

Su Ping nodded. So that's how it was.

Indeed, if the Secret Realm allowed real drops, how could there be so many Ferocious Beasts available for use? That refreshing Time Series Trait is probably the reason behind this.

Unfortunately, Su Ping wasn't here to gather resource materials. If he didn't have anything else to do, he would be quite interested in exploring the Secret Realm. But now was clearly not a good time, so he could only shake his head, "Sorry, I really do have something to take care of and need to visit the Linhai Secret Realm. Maybe next time when I'm free..."

"Since that's the case, how about we add each other as friends? My sister often mentions you. And now that you're here, you've already caused such a big stir at Magic Capital Academy—much more impressive than me," Dong Muxuan said, grinning.

Senior Guo and the other two exchanged glances. All of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They knew all too well the nature of this Junior Dong. With his proud and arrogant nature, he didn't usually pay much heed to ordinary people. They had truly never seen him adopt such an attitude before.

But then again, Su Ping really deserved such treatment. Clearing fifteen elite waves was too astounding.

Su Ping didn't refuse. After they added each other as friends on their phones, he walked forward. Just then, a figure had appeared at the far end of the venue, looking around.

When Su Ping looked towards the other person, the latter also looked back at Su Ping, and their gazes met at that moment.

Qin Xiaoxue hurriedly quickened her pace and came over to Su Ping. "What are you doing here? Aren't you going in?"

Miss Qin ignored the others, as well as the gazes that instantly converged on her the moment she appeared. She ran over and asked directly.

"I'm here." Su Ping nodded, then waved to the others, and led Old Sha towards the entrance corridor of the Linhai Secret Realm.

Watching the two of them leaving, many people whispered to each other, obviously not knowing who this person so close to Miss Qin was.

On the other hand, Dong Muxuan and the others also watched their departing figures.

"TSK TSK, so this Su Ping is so close to Senior Qin? No wonder that person was there last time," someone commented.

Another person, along with Senior Guo, remained silent but glanced at Dong Muxuan. There had long been rumors that Dong Muxuan, who was now a prominent and influential figure at the academy, had a relatively close relationship with Miss Qin. It seemed their elders had intentions of bringing them together. But now, it appeared Dong Muxuan's firm denial of those rumors previously had been quite necessary.

"TSK, Mu Xuan, isn't he basically your love rival?" asked Senior Guo with a smile.

Dong Muxuan came back to his senses and shrugged, "They probably don't even see me as a worthy rival. Isn't pining for someone unrequitedly just asking for trouble?"

"TSK TSK, never thought Mu Xuan could say something like this. Miss Qin is one thing, but does that Su Ping also have some significant background?" someone continued to ask.

Since Dong Muxuan himself didn't seem to mind, what was the harm in a little Bagua, they figured?

"Nonsense. Who could clear fifteen elite waves of the Trial Tower solo without some kind of backing?"

"That's true. I just wonder what kind of Pet Beast he used to achieve that?"

"..."

The idle chatter of his teammates didn't cause Dong Muxuan's expression to shift. But in his heart, he involuntarily thought of the words his sister had said to him. Dong Muxuan's eyes narrowed slightly, a resolute light flashing within them.

From a young age, he had always been surrounded by glory, praised by his elders, with the halo of a genius constantly above his head. Now, with such a peer appearing by his side, it was indeed exciting. It was just a pity that he was two years older than Su Ping. Even if the current Su Ping is very strong, it's unlikely he'll be able to participate in next year's professional assessment competition, right? What a pity.

Thinking this, Dong Muxuan turned his head, "Alright, don't we have actual business to attend to?"

Bagua and actual business—obviously, the latter was more important.

Su Ping, at this moment, had the same idea.

With Miss Qin's special student ID, the restrictions on the corridor to the Linhai Secret Realm, which had been sealed off and entry prohibited, were rendered completely ineffective.
