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

On the other side of the secret realm.

With a mournful roar, a second-tier ferocious beast, the Azure-Striped Leopard, collapsed to the ground with several sharp wooden thorns embedded in its chest. Blood flowed incessantly, and it was completely lifeless.

Su Muxue stepped forward slowly, drew her short knife, skillfully cut off the left ear of the blue-striped leopard, and put it into the cloth bag at her waist. Her movements were swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

After Lin Chen refused Su Muxue's offer to team up.

At the entrance to the secret realm, many people were eagerly inviting Su Muxue to join their teams.

Many of them possess S-level and A-level talents, and some even have SS-level talents.

After all, whether it's talent or family background, Su Muxue is in a league of her own in Jiangcheng.

Besides Lin Chen, there are plenty of people who want to curry favor with her.

But Su Muxue refused them all.

She was one of the few who entered the secret realm with the strength of an early-stage Martial Master, and was not far from the middle stage.

Su Muxue was confident that she could achieve a ranking in the preliminary rounds based solely on her own strength and the two talents she possessed.

Inviting Lin Chen was simply to learn more about his talent.

Along the way, Su Muxue ventured deep into the secret realm alone. Relying on her martial arts master level foundation, coupled with her skillful use of Wood Release and Sharingan, she hunted ferocious beasts at an increasingly faster pace.

So far, she has killed eighteen Tier 1 ferocious beasts and four Tier 2 ferocious beasts, accumulating 300 points. Based on the rankings of previous years' qualifiers, this score should be enough to get her into the top 100.

But Su Muxue did not stop there.

Although only being in the top 100 qualifies one to participate in the real martial arts college entrance examination.

But she will also be ranked in the preliminary rounds.

Her goal is to finish in the top three.

Through hunting ferocious beasts, her control over Wood Release has become increasingly proficient, and the power of the Sharingan has exceeded her expectations.

When her three-tomoe Sharingan is activated, she can clearly capture the movement trajectory of ferocious beasts. Even the fastest of the second-tier ferocious beasts appear to her as if they are in slow motion.

What surprised her even more was that the Sharingan's genjutsu was effective against ferocious beasts: although the physical strength of ferocious beasts was higher than that of martial artists of the same level, their mental strength was lower than that of martial artists.

Just half an hour ago, she encountered a third-tier ferocious beast.

The ferocious beast was enormous, with incredible defense and thick hide. Wood Release techniques did little damage to it, and it could even withstand her Wood Release technique. Its furious attacks were incredibly powerful, almost driving her to the brink of despair.

In the critical moment, Su Muxue decisively activated her three-tomoe Sharingan and unleashed the full power of her genjutsu, enveloping the rock bear in a crimson aura.

In the blink of an eye, the ferocious third-tier beast fell into an illusion, its eyes becoming dazed, and it wildly waved its paws without any order.

Seizing the opportunity, Su Muxue gathered all her spiritual power and activated Wood Release: Tree Binding Burial. A towering tree burst from the ground, tightly binding the Rock Armor Bear's body and imprisoning it.

Then, she prepared to launch a fatal blow and take the 100 points.

Suddenly, the Rock Armored Bear let out a deafening roar, unleashing a powerful aura that allowed it to break free from the illusion's control.

A flicker of fear and rage flashed in its eyes. It felt as if it had just escaped death. No longer wanting to fight, it turned and ran wildly into the depths of the jungle, quickly disappearing from Su Muxue's sight.

Su Muxue looked in the direction the rock-armored bear had fled, her face showing no annoyance, but rather a smile.

That battle just now made her fully realize the terror of the Sharingan.

It should be noted that the Rock Armor Bear is a third-tier ferocious beast, equivalent to the early stage of a Grand Martial Master, and its mental strength far surpasses that of a second-tier ferocious beast. Even so, it was still controlled by her illusion for a moment.

If it were any other S-rank talent, it would be impossible to achieve this.

She secretly rejoiced that her decision to borrow Lin Chen's talent at all costs was the right one.

Lin Chen's two seemingly B-grade talents, once evolved, are stronger than most S-grade talents on the market, even if taken out individually.

What excited her even more was that Lin Chen's talent could evolve.

If it evolves again and reaches S-rank, wouldn't it be stronger than SS-rank or even SSS-rank?

However, Su Muxue also had a hidden worry in her heart.

Although her talent is strong, there is a time limit to its use. She can only borrow Lin Chen's talent for three months. After three months, she will no longer be able to use it.

Unless she can borrow Lin Chen again.

The thought of borrowing her talent again made Su Muxue's cheeks involuntarily flush.

The image of her kissing Lin Chen under the spotlight of the awakening ceremony flashed through her mind.

She gently shook her head, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart.

Let's think about these things again in three months.

......

Meanwhile, in another part of the secret realm's jungle, Lin Chen was walking slowly forward, his waist pouch already bulging. His accumulated points were definitely enough to get him into the top 100 of the preliminary rounds.

He had just dealt with a first-tier ferocious beast and was preparing to continue deeper to find higher-level ferocious beasts when he suddenly sensed a strong hostility coming from ahead.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, and his three-tomoe Sharingan quietly activated. The scarlet tomoe slowly rotated in his eyes, instantly locking onto the figure in front of him.

A figure emerged from the jungle, dressed in black, with a cold and stern face and a calm demeanor, clearly a martial arts master.

Lin Chen also knew this person.

Yan Jing, the strongest of all Zhao Yu's lackeys, has awakened an S-level earth-type talent.

Like Su Muxue, he was one of the few who broke through to the Martial Master level before entering the secret realm.

Not long ago, the three people with triangular eyes sent Zhao Yu Lin Chen's whereabouts, but concealed the fact that they had been defeated by Lin Chen and had their points stolen. They only said that they had found Lin Chen's general direction.

Upon learning this, Zhao Yu immediately passed the message to his henchman, instructing the person closest to Lin Chen to follow him. Yan Jing happened to be nearby.

"Lin Chen, you didn't expect to meet me here, did you?" Yan Jing sneered, staring at Lin Chen with a sinister look in his eyes.

"Young Master Zhao said that I should 'treat' you well, hand over all your points, and cut off one of your arms, and I might spare your life."

Lin Chen glanced at the other party coldly, his tone indifferent: "Zhao Yu's dog, here to give away points again?"

"You're asking for death!" Enraged by Lin Chen's words, Yan Jing roared and charged towards Lin Chen in a flash.

He suddenly raised his right hand, his palm hardened like a rock as spiritual energy condensed, and slammed it down on Lin Chen with tremendous force, accompanied by a whistling sound.

Yan Jing is very talented, but unfortunately his family is very poor and he can't get any cultivation resources, so he is willing to be Zhao Yu's dog to obtain resources.

But he hates it when people bring it up, especially when the word "dog" is mentioned in front of him.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold, and crimson pupils appeared. After activating his Sharingan, he easily dodged Yan Jing's attack.
