Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 244 Re-entering the Secret Realm
Countless cultivators gathered under the newly released list.

No one expected that the junior sister of the Hehuan Sect would rise to first place with such a precipitous score.

Jiang Chenying taking first place was something they expected, but Shen Youqing... to be honest, they really didn't think highly of him.

There are many rumors about Shen Youqing in Zhongzhou City. She is the pampered young lady of the Shen and Yue families, spoiled, arrogant, and rude.

The rumors about her are mostly negative.

For example, she had ambiguous relationships with several men, slapped a disciple of the Qingyu Sect, and beat her own sister at a banquet... etc.

Seeing Shen Youqing's score crush all the other contestants by a precipitous margin, many people felt a bit conflicted, and some even thought that her first place was thanks to Jiang Chenying.

Jiang Chenying must have given her score to Shen Youqing!
The various gazes had no effect on Shen Youqing; she was pondering the upcoming competition.

Zhang Youli was used to Shen Youqing controlling the score and tying for first place, but he didn't know if others were used to it.

Wang Yebing stood up and darted away from the high platform, landing on the arena directly in front of him. His majestic voice, imbued with spiritual power, resounded throughout the square, "The top ten contestants will come forward one by one to receive their awards!"

Shen Youqing and Jiang Chenying took a step forward, and the two first place winners went first.

Others followed.

Knowing what kind of person Xiao Ke was, Shen Youqing tried to slip away after receiving the reward, but the man who was prepared grabbed her arm first.

Shen Youqing turned around and met the man's clear and deep peach blossom eyes.

The next second, unsurprisingly, a storage bag appeared in his hand.

Upon receiving a warning look from Shen Youqing, Xiao Ke gently shook her arm, as if begging for mercy or acting coquettishly.

Under Shen Youqing's unmoved gaze, he lowered his eyes slightly, a look of melancholy and self-reproach shrouding the handsome, aloof man. "It's understandable that Qingqing dislikes me, who told me..."

Shen Youqing silently reached out and covered Xiao Ke's mouth, looked at the man whose eyes were full of pitiful self-reflection, and finally waved and turned to leave.

Xiao Ke grabbed her sleeve and followed her.

Shen Youqing didn't say anything, and walked off the arena with the little tail following behind.

"..." Looking at her fifth junior brother's worthless appearance, Lin Youran hesitated to speak.

Others might need to beckon with their fingers, but Junior Sister and Fifth Junior Brother... Junior Sister doesn't even need to beckon with her fingers, and Fifth Junior Brother can happily follow along.

Having won first place in the Secret Realm Battle, Shen Youqing couldn't possibly keep a low profile, especially since she was accompanied by an incomparably handsome man.

The handsome and aloof man lingered like a little tail, his charming and amorous eyes reflecting only one person's image.

After awarding the prizes, Wang Yebing announced loudly, "The next competition is the Five Sects' Personal Instruction Training. We will enter the first secret realm in one hour."

As soon as Wang Yebing finished speaking, the atmosphere in the square was instantly ignited, and countless eyes turned to these twenty-seven personal disciples.

The part they've been waiting for the most has finally arrived!
The five lineages, each with its own direct lineage, formed their own groups.

Admittedly, they didn't expect that a new round of competition would begin in just one hour.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and formed a hand seal, and a healing array lit up under the feet of his senior brothers and sisters.

Following closely behind, in addition to Shen Qiuluo, healing arrays also lit up beneath the feet of the other disciples of the sect.

The disciples of the other sects were used to Shen Qiuluo being isolated, but the other cultivators had different expressions.

Shen Qiuluo dared not cause any trouble for a short time, and she obediently ate the pills to restore her spiritual power.

After casting the healing array, Shen Youqing turned to look at her senior brothers and sisters.

"What do you mean?" Shen Youqing rubbed his hands together expectantly. "The next secret realm will be a team battle organized by sect teams. What are our plans?"

Seeing this, the clansmen abandoned their intention to express their gratitude.

They planned to thank Shen Youqing after the competition.

Looking at Shen Youqing's expectant face, Liang Shimu then said earnestly to Lin Youran, "I have only one request: find someone to reunite with as soon as you enter the secret realm!" Lin Youran: ...

That's absolutely heartbreaking!
"I know," Lin Youran replied earnestly.

Seeing the five disciples of the sect conversing earnestly, Zhang Youli cleared his throat and said, "The first secret realm is a survival test. The secret realm will be open for fifteen days. The longer you survive, the higher your final score will be."

Comparing survival time?
Shen Youqing had a feeling that things weren't that simple, and a slight chill ran down her spine.

Shen Youqing wasn't the only one with a sense of unease; the other disciples felt the same way.

An hour later.

Twenty-seven people were teleported into the secret realm, and their figures gradually appeared on the water mirror.

But without exception, they were all on the water!
"Splash!" "Splash!" sounds continued as they fell into the water one after another, like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

Before Shen Youqing could even open her eyes, she was enveloped in cool water from all directions.

She leaped out of the water with a powerful kick. The winding river was lined with bamboo groves, which were shrouded in mist. The thick mist made it impossible to see anything inside the bamboo groves.

Just as Shen Youqing was about to swim towards the shore, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Hidden in the bamboo forest are pairs of blood-red eyes!

As Shen Youqing reached the shore, the things in the bamboo forest revealed their true nature.

It was all snakes, a dense swarm of snakes!
Shen Youqing didn't react much, but the cultivators watching from outside the water mirror were quite disgusted.

Even with a water mirror in between, many people wanted to turn around and run away!
The closer Shen Youqing got, the more excited the snakes in the bamboo forest became.

Just when the snakes thought Shen Youqing would come ashore, the girl in the water suddenly flew into the air, followed by an explosion of a talisman array.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and then bamboo stalks were rolled up onto the river surface by a long silk ribbon.

The venomous snakes that were coiled around the bamboo, preparing to attack Shen Youqing, made a sizzling, corrosive sound as soon as they touched the river water.

Putting aside where the long silk came from, is this river water poisonous?!
Shen Youqing used a long silk ribbon to tie the bamboo floating on the water into a simple bamboo raft.

She stood on the bamboo raft and cast two dust-removing spells on herself, then began to perform hand seals.

A bluish-green light array lit up beneath her feet.

Others might not be able to see the difference, but the Yue family and their group did.

That's a healing array to detoxify; the river water is poisonous.

The river water is poisonous; if you don't go ashore, you'll get poisoned, but if you do go ashore, you'll be attacked by snakes in the bamboo forest.

Whether we go ashore or not, it seems like we're both headed for certain death!

What's more, it's not even dark inside the secret realm yet!

No wonder the requirement for this secret realm is to survive!
Such a dark and mysterious place must most likely have been provided by the Hehuan Sect, right?
Compared to Shen Youqing's simplified bamboo raft, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect were much better, because they were weapon makers!

Artifact makers have no shortage of magical artifacts!
Gu Xingluan and Wen Shiyue entered the secret realm from the same spot. After falling into the water together, Gu Xingluan took out a boat.

Once the two boarded the boat, they realized something was wrong!
"This river water is poisonous!" Wen Shiyue said, frowning. Despite having taken the medicine, she didn't feel much better; the biting cold still clung to her like maggots. "It seems the antidote pill hasn't been used yet!"

Gu Xingluan cast a spell to remove dust on the two of them, saying, "Going ashore is not realistic."

After saying that, she used her spiritual power to strike the shore.

The spiritual energy exploded on the riverbank, and countless venomous snakes instantly emerged. Some of the snakes accidentally touched the river water and were immediately corroded, losing most of their bodies.

The two men were terrified when they saw this.
