As the students participating in the high school entrance exam entered the Secret Realm one by one, Ye Bai received a backpack from other staff after everyone had gone inside.

Inside were fresh water and dry rations, which would be Ye Bai's supplies for the next few days.

He had to take care of all his basic needs within the Secret Realm by himself.

"Next, I'll need your help."

"Please ensure the students' safety; they are the pillars of the future."

"You can only move within a predetermined area, ensuring that you can rescue students in time within this area."

The security team this time was still familiar faces—Yin Tiger and his adorable three subordinates Ji Shui Leopard, Kang Jinlong, and Tail Fire Tiger.

When they saw Ye Bai's familiar figure, they were momentarily stunned.

"Wait, is Ye Bai a staff member here?"

"Isn't he a student?"

Everyone was confused; was he here to take the entrance exam? How come he's wearing staff clothes?

At this point, Ji Shui Leopard, the most quick-witted, smiled: "Everyone forgot, Ye Bai has already been admitted to Imperial University."

"He's probably here to help."

However, Yin Tiger, the National Pillar, slightly furrowed his brow.

Ye Bai is a highly valuable researcher, holding numerous studies in his hands, arguably second only to Zhang Lingxue as a genius.

What exactly is the education department thinking?

Instead of protecting such a crucial researcher, he's responsible for security work—are they kidding?

Besides, this guy is the direct disciple of that ghost. If he accidentally dies, the ghost would probably blow up the entire Secret Realm.

Yin Tiger, the National Pillar, looked to the side, and Ji Shui Leopard immediately understood Yin Tiger's intentions—to investigate what exactly was going on.

Soon Ji Shui Leopard returned, his face somewhat grim.

"This order came from the Imperial University's logistics department, asking Ye Bai to participate in the entrance exam oversight."

"Originally, he was transferred to the logistics department, where he just had to watch surveillance footage normally."

"But for some unknown reason, someone intervened and assigned Ye Bai to the security department."

"Should we intervene to prevent potential mistakes?"

Ji Shui Leopard cautiously asked.

Yin Tiger, the National Pillar, shook his head: "There's no need for now."

"Don't underestimate Ye Bai. According to Chen Long, Ye Bai's own abilities aren't weak."

"His Pet Beast setup is complete; we just need to protect him at critical moments and not intervene too much in other matters."

"So he doesn't think we're meddlesome."

"Have all the entrance exam students entered the Secret Realm now?"

"Are the surveillance equipments ready?"

"Have the Space Runes been issued?"

Yin Tiger, the National Pillar, asked three questions in succession.

Tail Fire Tiger nodded: "Yin Tiger Pillar, everything's ready, don't worry."

"We'll also enter the Secret Realm shortly, and should any students encounter danger, we'll do our utmost to rescue them."

However, Space Runes also have flaws; should they encounter Exotic Beasts that can block space, the students cannot be teleported out.

At that time, security personnel must rush in and fight against the Exotic Beasts to protect the students.

Ye Bai put on the education department's high-tech gear—black goggles.

The goggles contained the map of the entire Secret Realm.

This indeed facilitated Ye Bai in locating the direction of Jianmu.

Among them, there was a region that Ye Bai was responsible for patrolling.

Ye Bai must ensure the safety of all students within this area, with no room for errors; otherwise, he'd face disciplinary action, recorded in his dossier.

"Logistics personnel, prepare to enter the Secret Realm immediately to protect the entrance exam students' safety."

Yin Tiger said loudly, and everyone present saluted Yin Tiger, then lined up to walk towards the Secret Realm's gate.

The Secret Realm gate had already completely opened, emitting a multicolored rainbow glow.

Ye Bai gently touched the Secret Realm gate, and his body was absorbed into it.

He couldn't help but move forward, passing through bizarre bubbles until he finally arrived at the trunk of a towering tree.

Looking up, the air in the forest was very humid, surrounded by lush trees, clearly a tropical rainforest climate.

Before long in this tropical rainforest, he was covered in sweat.

In the dense tropical rainforest, towering trees rose from the ground, with extremely lush branches and leaves, countless vines entwining the trees, looking like sinister snakes from afar.

Moss covered the bark, reminiscent of finely etched traces of time, and in the grooves of the bark, occasionally small ant-like Exotic Beasts hurriedly passed by.

Sunlight filtered through densely packed leaves, casting speckled mottled light spots, resembling starlight sprinkled across the leaf-littered ground.

The river meandered, crystal clear, filled with many small fish sporting sharp teeth.

The water flowed among rocks and tree roots, emitting a gentle sound.

Deep in the rainforest, occasionally in the distance could be heard the call of bird-like Exotic Beasts; looking up, you could see a brightly colored Exotic Beast fly overhead, leaving behind a beautiful arc.

The air in the rainforest was filled with the scents of moisture and earth.

Before long, Ye Bai was drenched in sweat.

Ye Bai inspected around for no surveillance cameras, then opened his palm, and a paperman like a butterfly flew out from his palm.

The paperman circled Ye Bai three times, finally turning into Ye Bai's appearance.

In his hand, he had a paperman specially left to himself by the Paper Puppet, used to block surveillance.

Ye Bai planned to use this method to enter the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.

"Next, I'm counting on you."

Ye Bai patted the paperman's shoulder. He had transferred himself onto the paperman.

Next, Ye Bai disguised himself as a student. To avoid drawing attention, Ye Bai released the Gale Fang Wolf.

The Gale Fang Wolf had been kept in the Beast Card, and upon release, it seemed incredibly excited.

God knows how tough life was inside the dark Beast Card—it was not only constantly hungry but also fully conscious.

Seeing the Gale Fang Wolf looking so pitiful, Ye Bai patted its head.

"Alright, Gale Fang Wolf, this time you have to cooperate with me."

"I will give you freedom."

The Gale Fang Wolf looked at Ye Bai with disdain—it remembered him saying the same thing last time.

"Don't worry, I keep my promises."

"I will find you a mate and let you live a happy life."

The Gale Fang Wolf's fur had grown out, looking remarkably stylish.

It crouched on the ground, moving in the direction Ye Bai pointed.

All the exotic beasts along the way were intimidated by the Tier Five pressure of the Gale Fang Wolf, too afraid to show themselves.

This Secret Realm was incredibly vast. Ye Bai needed about a day to reach the location of the collapsed Jian Mu.

However, Ye Bai wanted to hurry to the Five Elements Butterfly—the Emperor's Liquid was about to commence and he wanted to get a share in the Five Elements Butterfly Secret Realm.

This Emperor's Liquid would be effective for all Ye Bai's pet beasts.

It could even enhance Ye Bai's Soul Power.

He used the paperman to block monitoring.

To this day, Yin Tiger and the others hadn't realized that the 'Ye Bai' in the area was actually a fake.

Ye Bai traveled for a day, soon arriving at nighttime in the Secret Realm.

The night sky hung low, the tropical rainforest's night like a vast black velvet, deep and mysterious.

Above the dense canopy, tiny stars twinkled in the sky, like diamonds scattered across the dark sky.

Weak starlight filtered through the tree gaps, sprinkling onto the damp ground.

A meandering stream quietly flowed, its waters reflecting a faint silver light in the starlight, with small fish floating silently within, seemingly resting.

At this time, Gale Fang Wolf and Ye Bai were resting by the stream.

A campfire was ablaze nearby, the burning branches emitting bursts of black smoke.

Beside the campfire were a dozen gutted and skewered fish, placed not far from the fire.

The scorching heat pressed golden drops of oil out of the fish's bodies.

An enticing aroma wafted from them.

The Gale Fang Wolf drooled profusely, and Ye Bai could even feel the vibrations from the Pet Beast Space.

His pet beasts wanted to come out and eat grilled fish.

"Don't rush, don't rush. When the fish are ready, I will naturally send them to the Pet Beast Space for you all to feast on."

"You still have to wait patiently."

Ye Bai sprinkled cumin and sesame on the fish, making their aroma even more enticing.

The Gale Fang Wolf took deep breaths through its nose, as if attempting to suck the fish into its mouth.

"Hey, Gale Fang Wolf, stop drooling. You're acting foolish."

"I also made Beggar's Chicken, do you want some?"

The ground had been heated to a boil, but now the weather was cooling down.

Some classmates who had never spent the night in the forest were shivering from the cold, even summoning their pet beasts for warmth.

At this time, faint rustling sounds came from the forest.

A huge rabbit suddenly leapt out of the trees.

It landed with a thud not far from the campfire.

You could see its nose eagerly sniffing the aroma of grilled fish.

"Champion Rabbit, don't run away."

"Champion Rabbit."

Li Chen emerged from the forest.

He and Ye Bai exchanged glances.

"Ye Bai, how are you here?"

Li Chen was momentarily stunned.

"Am I hallucinating?"

As soon as Ye Bai saw Li Chen, the small paperman on him sprang into action.

The small paperman set up a barrier, directly blocking the signal on Li Chen.

"You must remember, tonight you haven't seen me."

"I'm the inspector for this high exam."

"If news of our private encounter gets out, you'll be accused of cheating on the exam."

Ye Bai warned Li Chen solemnly.

"I've already blocked the signal on you first thing. Shouldn't you be taking the exam in Jiaying City?"

"Why did you come to the Imperial Capital?"

Ye Bai asked Li Chen with some curiosity.
