Borrow my talent? Wood Release Sharingan stuns the school beauty.

Lin Chen continued to advance deeper into the secret realm.

There are fewer ferocious beasts on the outer perimeter, and more people.

After the fierce battle with the two second-tier ferocious beasts, Lin Chen's use of Wood Release and Sharingan became more and more skillful, and his spiritual energy flowed more smoothly.

Although his strength did not improve significantly, his combat skills improved considerably.

The speed of attacking and the speed of releasing skills have both increased.

They also became more proficient in using their skills.

After walking for about half an incense stick's time, Lin Chen sensed the aura of a ferocious beast ahead.

This blood and energy belong to a second-tier ferocious beast.

Lin Chen concealed himself and quickly probed forward.

On the open ground, a Shadowclaw Wolf, covered in dark gray fur and with hooked claws, was munching on its prey. Its eyes were cold and its ears would occasionally perk up warily.

With just one glance, Lin Chen knew the information about this ferocious beast.

Shadowclaw Wolf.

It is agile and fast, far surpassing other ferocious beasts of the same level. Its claws are sharp as blades. Among those of the same level, those who can defeat it cannot catch up with it, and those who can catch up with it cannot defeat it.

"We need to deal with this guy quickly, before it can react and escape."

The Shadowclaw Wolf was too fast. Lin Chen had the absolute strength to kill it, but he couldn't catch up with it.

"Wood Release: Silent Binding Technique!"

The ground suddenly cracked open with fine lines, and several barbed wooden vines shot out from the soil like lurking hunters, instantly wrapping around the Shadowclaw Wolf's limbs, torso, and even neck, binding it tightly.

Just as the Shadowclaw Wolf became alert and suddenly raised its head, about to roar, the vines around its neck tightened abruptly, silencing it.

Its massive body struggled violently, its sharp claws frantically scratching at the vines, but the thorns on the vines tore its palms, making it impossible to break free.

Before the Shadowclaw Wolf could break free of its restraints, Lin Chen's next skill followed immediately.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!"

The long spike pierced straight into the Shadowclaw Wolf's most vulnerable neck, and the moment it pierced the skin, it split and exploded inside its body.

"Pfft!"

Fresh blood gushed out, mixed with small pieces of bone and tendon.

The Shadowclaw Wolf didn't even have time to let out a scream before its massive body crashed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then died completely.

The continuous battles had depleted Lin Chen's physical and spiritual energy.

So he found a place to rest.

After resting for a while and recovering his depleted spiritual energy, Lin Chen continued to venture deeper.

Just as Lin Chen was moving forward, a deafening roar suddenly came, echoing through the mountains and forests. It carried a terrifying power that made his eardrums buzz and caused his spiritual energy to become slightly disordered.

"Such a powerful aura!" Lin Chen's pupils contracted slightly, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks. He activated his three-tomoe Sharingan at full power and scanned the area ahead warily.

"This sound and aura don't seem like something a second-tier ferocious beast could produce."

"Could it be a third-tier ferocious beast?"

Lin Chen's eyes flickered slightly; he had already killed quite a few second-tier ferocious beasts.

It simply doesn't have that kind of presence.

It's very likely a third-tier ferocious beast.

A third-tier ferocious beast is equivalent to the strength of a Grand Martial Master.

Soon, another roar rang out, intertwined with the previous roar, filled with intense hostility and violence. Clearly, two third-tier ferocious beasts were fighting.

A thought struck Lin Chen, and driven by curiosity, he slowly moved closer to the direction from which the roar came.

He deliberately lowered his body, concealed his aura, and walked very lightly, as the sensing ability of a third-tier ferocious beast was still very strong.

The closer you get, the clearer the roar becomes, and the more intense the powerful aura becomes, making it hard to breathe.

The surrounding trees were knocked askew, and the ground was covered with deep claw marks and footprints, indicating the intensity of the fight.

What surprised Lin Chen even more was that he hadn't seen a single ferocious beast along the way.

It seems they were frightened by the fight between the two third-tier ferocious beasts and fled, not daring to approach this area.

As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.

This made Lin Chen even more curious about why the two third-tier ferocious beasts were fighting.

We can't keep fighting over territory, can we?

Lin Chen felt that this possibility was very small.

Third-tier ferocious beasts generally have their own territory and will not trespass on the territory of other ferocious beasts.

"Could it be...?"

Lin Chen thought of a possibility.

rare and precious materials.

Besides the struggle for mating rights among their own kind, many of the fights among ferocious beasts are also due to rare and precious treasures.

Those who fight over territory are usually low-level ferocious beasts.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen's eyes burned with fervor, and he quickly rushed forward.

After passing through a dense thicket of bushes, Lin Chen finally saw the scene of the fight. He quietly hid behind a towering tree and peeked out. His heart skipped a beat.

On the open ground, two enormous Tier 3 ferocious beasts were fighting fiercely. Every collision produced a deafening roar, the ground shook violently, and debris flew everywhere.

The ferocious beast on the left is shaped like a giant lion, covered in golden fur with faint flames burning on it. Its large, bell-shaped eyes gleam with ferocity, and it constantly spews fireballs from its mouth.

The third-tier ferocious beast, the Flame Lion, excels in fire-based attacks and possesses formidable defense, with strength equivalent to the early stage of a Grand Martial Master.

The ferocious beast on the right is shaped like a giant python, over ten meters long, covered in black scales that reflect light and are incredibly hard. It spits out a forked tongue that carries deadly poison.

The third-tier ferocious beast, the Black Scale Python, excels in poison attacks and entanglement, is extremely fast, and its strength is also at the early stage of the Great Martial Master level.

The two ferocious beasts fought fiercely, with the Flame Lion constantly hurling fireballs at the Black Scale Python, scorching the surrounding trees.

The black-scaled python nimbly dodged and launched surprise attacks from time to time, wrapping its body around the fire lion and spewing out deadly poison in an attempt to kill it.

Lin Chen's gaze did not linger on the two ferocious beasts, but instead fell on a boulder not far from the clearing.

At the top of the boulder grew a bright red fruit, about the size of a fist, with a faint red glow on its surface.

A rich spiritual energy emanated from the fruit, permeating the air. Inhaling it, one could feel a slight stirring of spiritual power within the body, clearly indicating that it was an extremely rare spiritual fruit.

"The Vermilion Fruit!" Lin Chen was startled and recognized the spiritual fruit.

The Vermilion Fruit is a rare spiritual fruit formed from the condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Consuming it can rapidly improve one's cultivation level, enhance potential, and nourish the body.

For Lin Chen especially now, the Vermilion Fruit is of paramount importance.

The Vermilion Fruit can enhance potential; I wonder if it can accelerate the softening of Hashirama's cells, allowing Wood Release to evolve from A-rank to S-rank.

It turns out that the reason why the two third-tier ferocious beasts were fighting so fiercely was to compete for this Vermilion Fruit!

Lin Chen's eyes burned with fervor, and a bold idea began to sprout in his mind.

He wanted to get his hands on the Vermilion Fruit.

This might be difficult for others entering the secret realm, but it still presents a good opportunity for Lin Chen.
