Gao Wu: I became a saint through daily settlements

A semi-transparent, wavy space shimmering with a pale blue light slowly unfolded before Lin Yue's eyes, accompanied by a faint spatial tremor.

Through this semi-transparent, wavy space, Lin Yue truly entered the secret realm of Southeast Asia.

After a slight dizziness, Lin Yue landed steadily.

"It seems that teleportation is random within the secret realm." Lin Yue looked around and realized that none of his classmates, who had been beside him just moments before, had disappeared.

"And the environment has changed a lot too."

Lin Yue looked around and quickly made a judgment.

The South Seas are surrounded by the sea and are constantly swept by tropical monsoons, with dense rainforests and abundant moisture.

But the secret realm before us presents a completely different scene.

Instead of vast expanses of broadleaf rainforest, there is a majestic and rugged mountain with steep slopes.

The exposed rocks gleamed with a cold, dark gray light, and the hillside was covered with tall, straight coniferous trees, their needles as fine as needles.

Lin Yue raised his head slightly, his gaze fixed on the night sky.

"Blood moon?" Lin Yue murmured, looking at the blood-red moon in the sky.

The night sky before me was not the usual pitch black, but rather a deep blue-purple, with a bright blue moon hanging in the sky.

The blue moon was emitting a faint blood-red halo in all directions, layer upon layer, dyeing the entire night sky a hazy crimson.

"It seems that time within the secret realm is completely different from time outside the secret realm." Lin Yue withdrew his gaze and quickly pondered in his mind.

When we gathered outside the secret realm just now, it was the blazing midday sun, the sunlight was blinding and the temperature was scorching. But now, inside the secret realm, it is the dead of night.

"Aside from the difference in time, the gravity, temperature, and air quality here are not much different from those on Earth."

Making quick judgments about the surrounding environment and other factors is an essential skill for every student who comes here; otherwise, they would have been eliminated long ago during the theoretical test stage.

Based on his geographical knowledge, Lin Yue roughly determined his current location.

"My current location is approximately in the southwest corner of the secret realm."

"According to previous intelligence, the area division of the secret realm is very clear. The closer you are to the central area, the higher the risk. You may encounter powerful star beasts or strange secret realm traps."

"However, risks and rewards go hand in hand. The cultivation resources available in the central area are far more abundant than those in the peripheral areas, and there may even be legendary rare and precious materials."

At that moment, the "Martial Arts Treasures Record" reacted even more strongly.

"This secret realm truly contains the 'martial arts treasures' I've been searching for!"

With a thought, a semi-transparent panel appeared before his eyes; it was the interface of the Martial Arts Treasures Record.

【Martial Arts Curiosities】

The martial arts treasures this time are even more obvious than last time.

On the panel, a yellowed page slowly unfolds, revealing a strangely shaped plant with dark green leaves and a thick rootstock.

At the top, there was a small red flower bud, with a line of blurry writing next to it.

"Ancient ginseng from Southeast Asia!" Lin Yue looked at the illustrations on the pages and quickly made his judgment.

However, Lin Yue did not act rashly.

"It's best not to act rashly until we understand the current situation."

"The secret realm lasts for a total of seven days, which is not a short time, but it is by no means enough."

He looked around, his brow furrowing slightly.

"Leaving aside whether we can harvest rare treasures like ancient ginseng from Southeast Asia, just obtaining clean food and water in this secret realm is a significant challenge."

Most of the students within the secret realm are below the Martial Artist realm, and none of them have reached the level where they can abstain from grains like the Flying Martial Artist.

There aren't many students at the Martial Artist level or above.

According to the general information Lin Yue knew, apart from the Tianjing team where over 70% of the students were at the Martial Realm, most teams only had around 30% of their students at the Martial Realm.

In some impoverished and remote provinces, students at the martial arts realm only account for 10% to 20% of the teams.

In impoverished and remote provinces like Yunzhou, cultivation resources are scarce, teaching staff are weak, and the number of martial arts students trained is extremely limited.

A team of ten from Yunzhou might have only one or two students at the Martial Artist level, with the rest being students below that level.

This is the most obvious difference in cultivation resources and student quality between different regions!

The more developed a region is, the more it invests in training martial artists. Whether it's cultivation techniques, elixirs, or opportunities for practical combat trials, it's far superior to that of impoverished regions.

Therefore, the more developed the region, the higher the level of martial artists trained.

Just then, a sound came from behind Lin Yue.

A wolf-like creature with glowing green eyes pounced on him menacingly.

"roar!"

"Star Beast?" Lin Yue instantly turned to the side, simultaneously gripping the Mo Dao with his right hand and slashing fiercely at the figure rushing towards him from behind.

"Clang." The sound of weapons colliding with bones echoed in the air.

The wolf-like star beast had no time to dodge and was struck hard on the back by the longsword, letting out a mournful scream.

After taking Lin Yue's knife, the star beast struggled on the ground for a couple of moments before becoming unable to move.

Lin Yue approached and, by the faint light of the blood moon, made out the appearance of the beast.

It was a wolf-like beast, slightly larger than a normal wolf, with grayish-black, tangled fur, a pair of eyes that gleamed with an eerie green light, drool dripping from the corners of its mouth, and exposed fangs.

"It really is a star beast."

Based on the knowledge he had learned in the theory class, Lin Yue quickly made a judgment.

"However, it's much weaker than the one we encountered last time."

The wolf-like star beast that Lin Yue encountered last time, in addition to its instinctive biting, could also launch mental attacks.

"It's most likely a juvenile star beast."

However, before they reach adulthood, their size, strength, and defense are not very strong, and they are worlds apart from adult star beasts.

The wolf-like star beast in front of us is only slightly larger than a normal wolf, but its bloodlust is no less than that of an adult star beast.

"Awoo~" A series of wolf howls came from the hills not far away.

"Oh no," Lin Yue thought to himself, realizing something was wrong.

A long and mournful wolf howl suddenly came from the hills not far away, followed by more wolf howls rising and falling.

These wolf-like stars are extremely bloodthirsty, not only loving to prey on other creatures, but also readily accepting the blood of their own kind.

"It seems that the blood that flowed when we killed this star beast attracted the wolf pack not far away."

An immature star beast wouldn't be a problem for Lin Yue, but this time it was a wolf pack that was awakened, and there might even be adult star beasts among them.

Before Lin Yue could think further, the sound of wolves running began to echo from the nearby hills.

"It's best to retreat first."
