CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64: WHAT?! ENTERING THE SECRET REALM?!

Looking at the triumphant Wang Teng, Gu Xing found it hard to contain himself.

If he couldn’t see the attributes of the guardian beast clearly, he would have been fooled by him.

Dragon lineage?

Gu Xing secretly shook his head.

If it were a pure-blooded Dragon Race, it would be worth taking seriously, but this lizard barely qualifies...

Let’s just forget it!

However, Wang Teng was already completely absorbed in the praise of the surrounding students:

"If I remember correctly, the one beside Wang Teng is the Molten Dragon Lizard with Legendary level talent!"

"I’ve heard the Wang Family had to use almost all its connections to get this guardian beast!"

"With such a powerful guardian beast, it seems Wang Teng intends to break the record in this Awakening Secret Realm and win the principal’s reward!"

Gu Xing, hearing this discussion, felt somewhat surprised.

What record? What reward?

As a freshman, he was not very familiar with many of the rules at the National Guardian Academy.

"Look over there, Star Brother." Qin Tian timely pointed to the entrance of the secret realm, "The record stele over there has the best results from all previous editions."

Gu Xing followed Qin Tian’s finger and looked over, only to see an ancient stone stele engraved with gilded characters:

[First Place: Qin Chuxue, 9 hours 15 minutes]

[Second Place: Ying Chuan, 28 hours 17 minutes]

[Third Place: Wang Kai, 28 hours 25 minutes]

...

[Tenth Place: Zhang Jian, 30 hours 7 minutes]

Seeing this ranking list, Gu Xing furrowed his brows slightly.

The gap between first and second place...

Why is it so big?

The difference between third and tenth place is only two hours.

But between first and second place...

There is a difference of a full 19 hours!

Gu Xing instinctively turned to look at Qin Tian.

"Star Brother, this list records the time it takes a guardian beast to break through from Awakened Tier One to Tier Nine."

"That person at the top was a genius specially recruited by Principal Long five years ago, just like you."

Upon hearing about the special recruitment, Gu Xing remembered!

Long Zhenguo had specially recruited students twice in total.

Once was him.

And the other time was this Qin Chuxue.

"Because Senior Qin’s record was too extraordinary, the academy declared a long time ago that her result should not be taken as a reference."

"Principal Long once promised personally that anyone who could exceed the second place could select a treasure from the National Treasure Vault!"

Speaking this, Qin Tian glanced at Wang Teng and lowered his voice to continue:

"Wang Teng’s possession of this guardian beast is likely because the Wang Family has their eyes on certain treasures in the National Academy Vault, hence such a significant investment."

Hearing the words National Treasure Vault, Gu Xing’s pupils contracted slightly.

He clearly remembered the last time Liu Li evolved, the "Holy Marrow Spirit Liquid" came from there.

And as long as he broke the record, he could go in and select a type of material...

Gu Xing thought of his two guardian beasts.

Currently, both guardian beasts’ talents have reached Myth level!

Still...

Who wouldn’t want their guardian beast to become stronger?

Entering the National Treasure Vault, if he could encounter the evolutionary materials for both guardian beasts...

He must go in!

Gu Xing immediately made up his mind.

If he missed this chance, it would be unknown when he could qualify to enter the National Treasure Vault again.

Moreover....

His gaze unconsciously fell on the dazzling name at the top of the list.

Qin Chuxue!

Like him, both were geniuses specially recruited by Principal Long to be dominant in an era.

Gu Xing’s lips slightly curved, and the long-lost desire for victory and defeat suddenly burned fiercely in his chest.

He really wanted to know, compared to this legendary senior sister...

Who is stronger!

Wang Teng noticed Gu Xing completely ignoring him, and his fury instantly ignited.

He was about to explode when he suddenly sensed the fear emanating from the Molten Dragon Lizard through the contract.

"What’s going on?"

He turned his head in astonishment, only to see his guardian beast lying weakly on the ground, its scales trembling continuously, not displaying a hint of the majesty of a Legendary guardian beast.

Could it be...

Wang Teng suddenly looked at Gu Xing.

Did that terrifying angel appear again?

But then he thought, the Awakening Secret Realm prohibited Extraordinary level guardian beasts from entering!

Even if that angel’s strength was exceptional, it couldn’t determine the outcome of this secret realm!

The first place this time is definitely his!

Yet seeing his lizard trembling, he wisely decided to leave with his guardian beast quietly.

Ying Bing looked at Vera in bewilderment; her spiritual power was quite strong.

She could sense the source of the aura just now was this cute little girl.

To make a Dragon Lizard with Legendary level talent feel fear means...

This guardian beast’s level may be equivalent to Liu Li...

Both are Myth level?!

Gu Xing slightly turned his head, his gaze falling on Vera, who was feigning innocence by his side.

She was the one who just scared that lizard.

When this little girl saw Gu Xing looking over, she immediately stuck out her tongue.

"Master, I just couldn’t stand his arrogance, sorry~"

Gu Xing chuckled, gently ruffling her blonde hair with his slender fingers.

For such a small matter, he naturally wouldn’t blame his guardian beast.

After all, she was doing it for his own good!

"It’s fine!"

Seeing her master not get angry, Vera immediately took advantage and opened her arms, speaking sweetly:

"Master, hug~"

This endearing and playful look was like a little daughter asking for candy.

Making Gu Xing’s heart soften, he instinctively hugged her.

However.

In the Beast Taming Space, Liu Li stomped his foot in anger witnessing the entire scene:

"This little conniving green tea spirit!"

He glared at Vera, who was outside acting spoiled, his golden pupils almost spewing fire.

Feigning innocence, deceiving the master’s feelings!!

Hateful!!

The more he thought, the angrier he got. His gaze fell on the trembling Tree of Life.

And at that moment.

"The time has come!"

An instructor dressed in a green robe stood in mid-air, waving his sleeve to make the barrier at the entrance of the secret realm ripple like water.

Numerous mysterious runes swirled in the void, ultimately condensing into a radiant light gate.

"The Awakening Secret Realm is officially open! All students enter in order!"

...

In the principal’s office, Long Zhenguo was frowning at Gu Xing’s profile file.

Gu Xing’s background was unfortunate.

This meant the academy had to take responsibility for Gu Xing’s second guardian beast.

"What guardian beast should he be paired with..." Long Zhenguo muttered, stroking his beard.

His gaze swept back and forth over the list of the academy’s remaining Legendary level guardian beasts but was never satisfied.

The first beast was already Myth level, so the second must be Legendary level at the very least!

Just as he pondered, the office door was suddenly pushed open forcefully.

"Principal! Something big has happened!"

Fu Yanjie rushed in, panting heavily.

Long Zhenguo frowned displeased: "Director Fu, what kind of conduct is it to panic!"

"Gu Xing... Gu Xing entered the Awakening Secret Realm!"

Upon hearing this news, Long Zhenguo initially didn’t care much.

Isn’t it simply entering a secret realm?

But the next moment, Long Zhenguo suddenly stood up, his wooden chair sliding half a meter back with him.

"What?! He entered the secret realm!"

Entering the Awakening Secret Realm meant what?

It meant Gu Xing had already contracted his second guardian beast!

But he was completely unaware!

If the talent of the second guardian beast was too poor...

Long Zhenguo’s heart dropped!

...
