I created a safe zone in the nightmare world.

Before the nameless trial grounds, the powerful figures of Gray Harbor City stood ready.

"It looks like we're going to fight a clone that's exactly like us?"

Outside the venue, people were talking about it.

They haven't fought such a battle before, but it's not hard to guess.

Someone said, "Is it just a challenge to create a clone? That's a piece of cake."

Some might say that clones shouldn't be underestimated, but these people aren't just geniuses; they're powerful warriors who have fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They are by no means lacking in combat experience. Even those with powerful backgrounds have fought countless real battles against the supernatural. They don't have the problem of being academically trained but incompetent in actual combat.

Beside Xuan Jian, a powerful figure from Tiannan City said, "The one currently on the field is 'God Flash,' a transcendental expert from Gray Harbor City. This guy is incredibly fast; even a Transcendent Grand Perfection expert can't catch up with him."

Clearly, this is a powerful figure worthy of Tiannan City's attention.

Xuanjian looked over.

The countdown on the field reached zero, and suddenly...

"Thump!"

Several pieces of gravel flew everywhere, and both figures disappeared at the same moment.

Those present could hardly match this speed, and could only see the black shadows darting across the scene.

But soon,

Bang!

Suddenly, two figures reappeared. The powerful expert from Gray Harbor City looked down at the fist imprint on his chest with astonishment. This was a punch that bypassed his innate self-protection ability.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew backward like a cannonball, flying out of the challenge arena and crashing straight into the ground.

He lost, he lost miserably.

at this time,

Outside the trial arena that had blocked everyone's way, more and more extraordinary beings had gathered.

Dozens of extraordinary individuals lingered here.

"Is it because the Divine Flash of Gray Harbor is too weak, and doesn't live up to its reputation?"

Humanity is humane.

Another extraordinary expert who had witnessed the battle spoke up: "No, Shen Shan is not weak; he is indeed very fast. But this challenge requires fighting a clone, and clearly, Shen Shan's combat skills and the development and application of his talent are far from sufficient."

Xuan Jian looked around and saw that many people were hesitating, so he simply strode forward.

Soon, a replica material materialized.

Xuanjian and the replica clashed, exchanging more than a dozen blows in the blink of an eye.

He was somewhat surprised.

"Too weak."

"Is this what you call a copy?"

Admittedly, the clone's talent and spells were exactly the same as his, but Xuanjian discovered that the clone's spell proficiency was not high. The clone knew all the spells he knew, but for rare spells like Rising Dragon Slash and Spell Armor, the clone's spell proficiency was at best at the master level.

It's several levels below his superb skill.

"Why is it so low?"

"Shouldn't the clone be a perfect replica of my abilities?"

"Wait, it seems that this clone doesn't have any magical energy surrounding it."

The Xuan Sword found it uninteresting and quickly defeated the clone.

His decisive and efficient performance surprised many of the powerful figures in Tiannan City and Gray Harbor City.

Tiannan City's extraordinary talent, who had been to the safe zone, said, "Actually, this isn't even the full strength of Brother Xuanjian."

He dared to say that Xuanjian's true strength was no less than that of the strongest representatives in their Tiannan City.

After all, it is said that this young brother Xuanjian had a connection with the safe zone a long time ago and had been trained by the safe zone manager.

This level of skill is to be expected.

This arena can also be seen as a spectacle.

A low-spec training ground with only one function: battling clones.

but,

Perhaps this arena is directly related to the entire Land of Revelation. Even though his Xuanjian only defeated a very weak clone, he still received a reward.

A baptismal glow descended.

The reward wasn't very beneficial; it was equivalent to him absorbing and consuming a portion of pure essence. The Xuan Sword's maximum spell power increased slightly, and the stamina and spell power he had just consumed were also restored.

A pure essence would be good enough for him.

It also saves time on digestion and absorption.

Meanwhile, on a distant stone pillar, a small section of a progress bar lit up faintly.

Some people have noticed this change.

The funeral expert from Lin Dong City pondered for a moment and guessed, "It seems that as long as someone passes this trial, the progress bar will increase. Once this progress energy is full, the latter half of the Land of Revelation will probably open up to us?"

"If we say that Brother Xuanjian's progress bar increased by '3' units in the battle just now, then it would take about '500' units to fill the progress bar. That's quite a number."

However, at this point, most extraordinary individuals are not focused on the number, but rather on the rewards for completing the challenge.

The Xuanjian didn't directly state the reward effect, leading many to believe it was very valuable.

Seeing that Xuanjian seemed to have defeated the clone with little effort, some extraordinary beings immediately became confident.

"I'll do it!"

"Let me go first!"

Bang!

Bang!

Thirty seconds later, both challenges ended.

One extraordinary being fell off the stage, and another was seriously injured and defeated.

Something seems off?

"They can no longer just go on stage without permission."

"This trial tests the combat skills and spellcasting proficiency of the participants, not just their combat strength. It tests their technique even more!" The extraordinary beings of Gray Harbor City were no fools either, and the two who appeared next won one after another.

Two players from Tiannan City also competed and won.

Once you've figured out the tricks, those who dare to step forward and take on the challenge are truly confident and extraordinary individuals.

After a while, many Dream Fallers at the Third Refinement Realm also came here.

Some people have tried to challenge themselves, and after defeating the clone, the progress bar increases by one unit.

Many are confident, but even more are hesitant and lost in their dreams.

They were unsure whether they could defeat the clone.

Defeat is a small matter, but if you get injured or even lose your life because of it, that would be a big deal.

In the battle just now, one extraordinary expert died on the spot due to overconfidence.

This death has also caused some dreamers who were originally planning to participate to become hesitant.

alone,

The dreamers from the safe zone, look at each other.

"I heard this clone is even weaker than a novice martial arts student?"

"Don't underestimate novice martial artists. I lost dozens of times before finally narrowly defeating one. Besides, this isn't a training ground; there's no safety net here. So, everyone, please don't be careless."

"Brother is right, we should use the most reliable method to destroy the clone."

then,

Grey Harbor City won one game, Sky South City won one game, and White River City won one game after another.

Something seems off here.

Po Jun was one of the team leaders from Tiannan City. He had also heard from his comrades that the safe zone had a similar spectacle. These safe zone members had experience fighting clones, so they won easily.

"So that's because they have similar experiences. No wonder."

A powerful figure from Tiannan City muttered to himself.

Otherwise, he simply couldn't accept the fact that he was no match for Xiaocheng Chaofan.

Even though they had heard about the multiple wonders in the safe zone, the foundation of their Tiannan City was far more than just wonders.

But Po Jun felt something was wrong.

"Are they able to defeat these clones really just because they have experience?"

Those watching this arena are far more than just the participating representatives outside.

around,

The magical telescopes in the safe zone, along with the remote observation devices manufactured by Tiannan City and Gray Harbor City, recorded the situation here and transmitted it to the outside world. Meanwhile, outside the Land of Revelation, the powerful figures from Gray Harbor City had rather grim expressions.

There is no other reason.

Their performance in Grey Harbor City was not ideal.

Before the Land of Revelation opened, the high-ranking officials of both sides agreed to distribute the spoils according to each party's performance and contributions within the Land of Revelation. However, now, the number of victories for the four western cities is far less than that for the four cities of Great Xia.

"On the one hand, many of the Dream Fallers we sent into the Land of Revelation were Consumable Dream Fallers or even Consumable Extraordinary Beings. We just didn't expect that the rules inside would be to fight clones."

Just now, a Dreamer from Gray Harbor City tried to inject the drug, but the next moment, the clone's muscles also swelled up.

Both values ​​increased simultaneously.

That's equivalent to no increase at all.

"Most importantly, the three cities that came from Carlo City were all useless, and they didn't gain a single victory point. On the other hand, the three cities that appeared in the Great Xia Dynasty—Baijiang City, Lindong City, and Chongshan City—gained just as many victory points as Tiannan City itself."

The hook-nosed major general spoke up: "Forget it, let the Great Xia side have their fun for now. Our plan hasn't even started yet."

Inside the camp built in Tiannan City.

Shi An was invited by Master Yunwu to visit this place.

As they watched the battle, they counted the mineral deposits within the Land of Revelation.

"One Dream Crystal Mine, two Dream Crystal Mines, three..."

Within the Land of Revelation, the scattered medicinal herbs are merely byproducts; the truly valuable assets are the mineral veins within the treasure trove. This treasure trove isn't actually very large, yet outside its core area, which boasts such wonders, lies a ring of mineral veins.

It even contains rare mineral veins.

These veins don't have much exposed ore, making it difficult for the Dreamers to mine them in the short term. But Shi An had to admit that these veins alone were extremely valuable, and he was quite envious.

If his standard magical artifact, the Thousand-Change Umbrella, wants to expand its market, it will first face the problem of insufficient raw materials.

During the conversation, Shi An also subtly inquired about some secrets that only those at the Ascendant Realm would know.

The Cloud Mist Master had no doubts.

After all, in his eyes, this store manager must be at the Advanced Transformation Realm, or even a Strong Advanced Transformation Realm.

He had already heard about the store manager's annihilation of a lord-type monster.

However, compared to Tiannan City, which has three Ascension Realm experts, the Safe Zone only has one Ascension Realm expert. There is no one to communicate with on weekdays, so it is normal that they know little about the secrets of Ascension Realm.

Master Yunwu generously shared his experience with the younger generation.

This is also a way of returning the favor, considering the help the safe zone has given to the three cities of Baijiang.

Therefore,

The three of them drank tea, with Master Yunwu doing most of the talking, while Shi An occasionally asked questions and nodded slightly.

On the contrary, Director Liu Yan, another being at the Ascension Realm, remained silent.

Shi An initially thought that the director had a problem with him;

I initially thought this director was just aloof and cold.

In the end, it was discovered that Director Liu Yan was just socially awkward.

A rising giant in the industry, but socially anxious?

Oh, he's a researcher by training, that makes sense.

At this point, approximately four hours had passed since the Land of Revelation opened.

The energy bar on the stone pillar next to the trial arena is also about to reach its maximum.

The stone pillar only showed a charging progress indicator, but naturally, the city leaders had already clearly recorded the number of wins for each city. The three cities of Baijiang and Tiannan had roughly the same number of wins.

but,

The total number of combat personnel in the three cities of Baijiang was far less than that in Tiannan City.

The people in the clouds were somewhat surprised.

"I took a look, especially at Bai Jiangcheng, who actually won all thirty-six of his trials."

"Huh? A complete victory?"

Even Liu Yan, who was lost in thought and daydreaming, couldn't help but open his mouth.

She had glanced at it a few times and knew what level the replica was at.

It should get at least a 60.

Although 60 points is not high, most people would only consider it a score of 30 or 40.

She looked at Shi An, her eyes filled with curiosity.

She had heard of the safe zone before, but hadn't really looked into it.

At this moment, Liu Yan also felt a little curious, but when she thought about how she would have to say a lot of things if she asked, her social anxiety finally overcame her curiosity, and she continued to sit there as if she were invisible.

Master Yunwu knew the reason.

He knew that the Safe Zone provided tremendous support and training to its members, even more so than many of the elite members of Tiannan City. However, could the store manager afford to support the Safe Zone's relentless investment?

He heard that the number of members in the safe zone was increasing, but the store manager still hadn't limited the number of members.

One reason why Master Yunwu wasn't prepared to send a large number of Tiannan City's elite troops into the safe zone was that he worried the safe zone couldn't afford it. How could they, the prestigious capital of Tiannan Province, let the safe zone bear the burden of training its elite troops?

Unfortunately, Shi An was unaware of what Master Yunwu was thinking.

The members in the safe zone did indeed make a profit, but the store manager at the time definitely didn't lose out either.

The performance of the three cities of Baijiang was so outstanding that the term "safe zone" has now entered the ears of many powerful figures in Gray Harbor City.

However, at this moment, everyone was more concerned about something else.

"The progress bar is almost full!"

Another powerful figure from Grey Harbor City challenged and defeated this replica...

The last section of the progress bar is finally full.

In an instant,

An invisible wave spread, enveloping the entire Land of Revelation.

The challenge arena in front of them slowly sank and eventually disappeared.

Some people were disappointed; they had wanted to reap the benefits of the challenge.

But soon someone noticed.

In the distance, the top of the Qiming Tower lit up, and in another small house, a furnace outside was ablaze.

These previously dormant architectural wonders are being revitalized one by one.

Even just seeing a spectacle would bring up its name in their minds, along with a general sense of what it was.

"Qiming Tower"

"Blacksmith Shop"

"Hundred Flavors Herbal Medicine Shop"

"Sword Training Ground"

"Longmen General Store"

At the same time, as the challenge arena sank, the barrier that had been blocking everyone's progress also disappeared.

The latter half of the area is not large.

The end point is an ancient tower, about a hundred meters high, with its doors wide open.

"By completing the trials in the Land of Revelation, you can conquer this 'Nightmare Zone' and obtain two key revelations about this Nightmare World."
