I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

"Shall we team up? I've never been to a secret realm before, and I've heard it's very dangerous inside. I'm a little nervous," one of them said, shrinking his neck.

"I've also heard that the secret realm is very dangerous, and legend has it that many people die there every year," another person said nervously.

"real or fake?!"

"I don't know either, it's just a legend..."

The consultant teacher walking in front exchanged a glance with Li Ziang, then shook his head with a wry smile.

The group discussed amongst themselves, mostly expressing their worries and fears about the secret realm—except for Ye Feng.

Ye Feng has already been to the secret realm once. Although it was a C-level secret realm that was about to be downgraded to D-level, it was still C-level, wasn't it? At least that's what he could write on his resume.

Ye Feng's relaxed expression immediately attracted the attention of the others.

"Ye Feng, how come you're not nervous at all?"

"I've been to secret realms for training before," Ye Feng said, touching his nose without hiding anything.

"Really? Then you must have experience. You'll have to take us flying once we're inside!"

"We'll see," Ye Feng said, neither agreeing nor refusing.

In fact, he was prepared to act alone.

The secret training area is only classified as Level D in terms of danger, and it definitely has various protective measures arranged by the school, so there is absolutely no need to worry about safety.

Ye Feng's main reason for wanting to act alone was to earn academic credits.

Ye Feng didn't feel anything when he could buy resources by swiping his card before, but now that he's at school, it's different. He suddenly feels so poor.

Although resources can indeed be purchased from the association's resource pool, training facilities can only be used at the school. The school's facilities are far superior and more complete than those of the battle clubs outside. After using them a few times, Ye Feng was no longer willing to use the facilities at the battle clubs.

Using the training facilities requires academic credits. Ye Feng has a particularly high demand for the facilities in order to study the Spiral Attribute Ball. He spends all his time in the facilities during the day except when he is in class, and sometimes he goes there at night as well.

— He couldn't possibly do research in his dorm room; he might accidentally blow it up. His experience in the villa area had taught him a lesson.

One is the credits earned by using the facility, and the other is the credits earned by repairing the facility.

Experiments are bound to have some unexpected moments. The Spiral Attribute Ball is so powerful; it's easy for it to explode and damage something. This isn't the first time Ye Feng has had to pay compensation. He could refuse to pay, but if it happens too often, the facility's management staff will inevitably use various excuses to refuse him entry—essentially blacklisting him. That won't do; the experiment has only just begun.

With all that back and forth, the few credits Ye Feng earned through club activities were simply not enough.

As for experimental projects, he really didn't have time to do them. He hadn't even finished his own thesis and the evidence was still incomplete. He also had to study spiral-type spheres and teach classes. How could he have time to do any experimental projects?

The credits for completing the course are awarded after the final exam based on the exam results, and I can't wait until then; the secret realm can only be freely entered and exited in the second year of university, and entering the secret realm before the second year requires various procedures, which is particularly troublesome.

Moreover, there are many professional courses in the first year, and going to the secret realm is not something that can be done in a few days, which greatly affects classes—especially the courses of energy science and technique science, which Ye Feng values ​​and studies very seriously.

Ye Feng looked at his campus account, which had dwindled to single digits of credits, and his eyes reddened – he was so poor!

Not having enough credits will not only hinder the development of Spiral Ball, but he also needs to go to the Breeding House to get his fourth Pokémon!

I must earn enough credits during this military training!

Anyone who gets in my way of earning credits is my enemy! Ye Feng clenched his fist and made a silent vow.

Chapter 101 Ye Feng: I'm not including you guys.

The Sanyang Valley Secret Realm is named after its entrance, which is located near Sanyang Valley. It is a small secret realm that was recently downgraded from a C-level to a D-level realm, making it more suitable for training by battle guilds with relatively high average strength.

The entrance was quite far from the capital, and it took the group more than two hours to get there.

Because this is a special secret realm for military training, trainers from the association will be stationed here to assist during this period.

Ye Feng touched his backpack, which was filled with 30 Poké Balls. A normal Poké Ball is about the size of an apple and has a button on it that can shrink or enlarge it. When shrunk, it is only the size of a walnut, making it easy to carry and store.

Otherwise, Ye Feng wouldn't have been able to hang the Poké Ball around his neck—think about it, hanging an apple around your neck, that would be so silly...

These 30 Poké Balls are the main source of Ye Feng's credits this time.

Conservatively speaking, catching 30 Pokémon would allow Ye Feng to use the facility for 15 consecutive days, enough for him to splurge for a while.

However, while ideals are lofty, reality is often quite harsh.

Based on Ye Feng's previous experience entering the secret realm, wild elves mostly move in groups, and there are relatively few lone ones.

If you try to subdue a family member in front of an entire tribe, you'll likely be hunted down. If you encounter some vengeful elves, you might end up living on the run during your adventure in this secret realm.

Therefore, there's a proper way to capture wild Pokémon. It's not as simple as seeing a Pokémon and then just knocking it out, throwing it a Poké Ball, capturing it, and leaving.

Be quiet, don't fire a shot, keep a low profile, and only act when you're sure of your aim.

"Alright, this is the entrance to the secret realm. If everyone is ready, you can go in."

Before the entrance to the secret realm, the advisor told everyone that he and Li Ziang were only responsible for bringing people here, and that they couldn't manage the rest.

"Everyone must be careful when entering the secret realm. I have already told you about the precautions in the secret realm beforehand."

Don't worry about safety, but don't be too complacent either; it all depends on yourselves. If the rescue team pulls you out, your military training grades will probably be failing, and...”

Li Ziang earnestly imparted his military training experience to these new recruits.

Ye Feng summarized: Safety first, don't be reckless, just pass the minimum requirement.

With their advisor and Li Ziang watching them go, the 11 people entered the secret realm one by one.

Upon entering the secret realm, a vast yellow plain comes into view—no green grass, just yellow earth.

To the right is a dried-up lake, where you can see the cracked black soil at the bottom.

In the distance is...

"This place is so desolate. Is this what the secret realm is like?" Member A looked around with a worried expression.

"Not entirely. The scenery in the secret realm I visited before was quite nice, lush and green, with mountains, water, and forests," Ye Feng said.

"I heard that the secret realm used for military training is randomly selected from the shortlist. Looks like we're not so lucky," sighed member B.

"yes···"

The group gathered together, discussing what to do next.

The military training will last for 20 days, and we will spend the rest of the time here.

Although the school distributed some supplies, it was definitely not enough for 20 days.

"Ye Feng, you have experience, what do you think we should do first?" Everyone looked at Ye Feng.

"Well, first we need to ensure we have water and food. During these 20 days, we should try not to stray too far from water sources—there are no industrial facilities in the secret realm, so the water is still all-natural. As long as we make sure no poison-type Pokémon inhabit the area, there shouldn't be any major problems. Even if we get poisoned, we also have antidotes in our supplies."

"If you are going to a far place, prepare enough water."

"Then there's food. There are plenty of tree fruits in the secret realm, so just be careful to collect them."

"And most importantly, as the president also said, don't provoke lone elves. It might attract the pursuit of an entire group. Only act when you're sure."

"···"

Ye Feng shared the experience he gained from his last training session, and everyone listened attentively.

"Shall we go over there first?" Member A pointed to a grove of trees in the distance. "There should be some fruit there, right?"

“Well, then…” Ye Feng nodded in agreement, and was about to say something when he suddenly felt the ground shake.

"What's going on?" Everyone else panicked and looked around.

Ye Feng squatted down, his hands on the ground, frowning.

"Ye Feng, what do you know about this?"

Ye Feng shook his head: "I don't know."

"..." Everyone was speechless. What are you pretending to be so serious about?

“But I know we have to leave here immediately, this might be the territory of some elven tribe,” Ye Feng said, slung his backpack over his shoulder and ran towards the woods.

"Wait a minute! What is this?!" Just as everyone was about to follow, the ground in front of them suddenly bulged up and then exploded, revealing a huge figure in front of them.

Ye Feng turned around and his expression changed; it was a giant rock snake.

"Spread out!"

The Onix is ​​huge; if so many people gathered together were to suddenly lunge down, several of them would be instantly killed.

"Wind Speed ​​Dog, amazing speed!"

Ye Feng threw out a Poké Ball, and Arcanine activated Extreme Speed ​​and crashed headfirst into Onix's waist (?). Suddenly subjected to a fierce attack, Onix cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, everyone rushed to Ye Feng's side.

"Ye Feng, what should we do?"

"Don't panic. Onix is ​​one of the few solitary Pokémon; there should only be one in this area. Keep using Extreme Speed! Don't let it get up!"

Ye Feng reassured the club members and ordered Arcanine to continue attacking, suppressing Onix and preventing it from getting up.

Onix kept getting knocked down by Arcanine, trying to get up only to be knocked down again. The places where it was hit felt like they were about to split open in pain, and it was both angry and anxious, hissing repeatedly. It swung its tail at Arcanine, but Arcanine, which was maintaining its super speed, easily dodged it.

"Crush it!"

Arcanine opened its mouth wide, its teeth gleaming with a rich black light, and bit down on Onix's head.

The giant onyx let out a miserable cry, its eyes rolling back as it fainted.

Ye Feng decisively threw out a Poké Ball, and the unconscious Onix was completely powerless to resist and was captured on the spot.
