Call me trash? I can instantly kill an S-level talent with just one yuan!

Jiang Cha's explanation was unhurried and deliberate.

"Dragon Soul University has a lax management system, and there are many small groups and organizations among students. They usually charge new students fees under the pretext of downward compatibility, euphemistically called 'study allowance'."

"Isn't this just extortion? Why isn't the school doing anything about it?"

Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise.

I never expected that Dragon Soul University would condone this situation.

Bai Jinhan chimed in, "If you're so capable, you can take them in too. Getting the school to intervene is impossible. No matter where you are, the law of survival of the fittest applies, and this place is no exception."

Li Xiang looked at Ye Chen with a pitiful expression.

"Hey bro, what do we do?"

Ye Chen remained silent for a moment.

He said in a deep voice, "We'll talk about it after the trial is over."

"All right."

At that moment, everyone's phone received a message.

"Everyone, assemble in the central square."

The group exchanged glances.

They all set off.

The central square was bustling with activity.

All the freshmen were present, a total of more than 2000 people, and it was quite noisy.

Li Wan stood in front of Class Two, saw the group of students, and immediately beckoned them over.

Ye Chen stood in the line, listening to the other students' discussion.

"I heard the principal is coming today too. He's a Martial King! A very important figure who's rarely seen!"

"Our mentor told us that this secret realm trial is being held in the small world of one of the principal's close friends. In order to cultivate new students, a large number of exotic beasts have been specially raised for us to practice fighting."

"I'm a little scared... I've never seen a strange beast before."

"I heard that the beast looks terrifying. It can swallow me whole in one gulp and digest me completely in a few minutes. When it comes out, you'll be a lump of something."

"Stop talking!"

"Hahaha, you think you have the guts to even participate in the secret realm?"

……

Ye Chen listened quietly.

His eyes kept scanning the students around him.

After advancing to the seventh level of the Qi and Blood Realm, his perception became much sharper.

His class, Class Two, wasn't the weakest in terms of morale compared to all the other classes, but it wasn't the strongest either.

Only Bai Jinhan and Jiang Cha's auras were still passable; standing among their classmates, they looked like two flames standing among a group of small flames.

In the entire square, only the central squad exuded a terrifying aura that made him feel uneasy.

There must be someone there who can threaten him!

"Ye Chen".

Jiang Cha's phone suddenly rang.

Ye Chen turned to look at him.

Jiang Cha smiled. "Interested in collaborating?"

"How do we cooperate?"

"The secret realm trial uses a point system. There are many strange beasts inside. You can get points by killing them. If we team up, we can split the points equally. How about it?"

"Is this necessary?"

Jiang Cha smiled.

"There are no restrictions on team play in the secret realm. How many people do you think you can defeat? Ten? Or a hundred? Aren't you afraid that someone will steal the beast you're halfway through fighting?"

"Won't I get robbed if I'm with you?"

"Hehehe, it's not that we can't do it at all, but at least the two of us S-class members together are much more intimidating than one person alone."

Why don't you go find Bai Jinhan?

"She's ignoring me."

"..."

Ye Chen remained silent for a moment.

"OK."

Jiang Cha smiled and said, "Okay, come with me after we go inside. I have a map."

Ye Chen looked at him in surprise.

"Don't look at me like that. It was given to me by my elders."

Ye Chen pursed his lips.

Good guy.

These scions of wealthy families are different from him.

After agreeing on the terms, Jiang Cha returned to his seat.

Li Xiang came closer again.

"Hey bro, need any help once we're inside? I can scout ahead!"

"Come on, just make sure you're safe. I'm going deeper in."

"Alright, I heard that the secret realm trial usually takes more than ten days. If you don't need me, then I'll just go in and take a look. If I see any strange beasts, I'll just come out."

"You don't want the points anymore."

"Points are nothing compared to my life! I checked online, and people really can die in the Secret Realm Trials!"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared on the high platform in the distance.

"Everyone, please be quiet!"

"My name is Hu Tao, and I am the head instructor of the first year. Fellow students of Dragon Soul, you are about to face your first test since entering the university. This test will determine the allocation of resources to you in the future."

The resource level assigned upon initial enrollment is not fixed.

If you can stand out in the assessment and trials, even if you don't have enough talent, the school will increase its resource investment accordingly.

It was promoted from second class to first class, and from first class to special class!

Its importance is clear to everyone.

"Before the trial officially begins, on behalf of the school, I would like to welcome all the leaders present."

Hu Tao paused for a moment, then, amplified by his energy, his voice resounded throughout the entire square:

"Elder Jiang Taixu, welcome to our school for guidance and a visit."

"Jiang Guo, a top-level instructor at Black Star Base."

"Xing Ying, Vice President of the International Chamber of Commerce."

"Liu Qing, the elder of the Liu family."

"Hong Liu, an elder of the Hong family."

"..."

Hu Tao read the names very quickly, and with each name he called out, a figure would appear on the platform as if by teleportation.

These people are all powerful figures from top-tier organizations, rarely seen on television, yet they are all gathered here for a trial competition at Dragon Soul University. It has to be said that Dragon Soul still has considerable prestige.

Ye Chen also heard a familiar surname...

Liu family.

After reading the list, Hu Tao's voice continued.

"For this trial, all the faction leaders present have contributed substantial resources to the resource pool, resulting in abundant rewards!"

"Those who haven't yet accepted investment can receive investment invitations from the country's top investment firms if they demonstrate exceptional performance!"

"Students of Dragon Soul, strive on! The future of the nation belongs to you! The future of humanity belongs to you!"

"Next, please welcome Principal Yuan Lie to speak!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

An old man dressed in a blue robe appeared out of thin air on the high platform.

He exuded no aura whatsoever and appeared kind and approachable, just like an ordinary person.

But no one would really think that this was an ordinary old man.

King Wu was no joke.

Yuan Lie's voice was soft, yet it clearly reached every corner.

"This trial will last for ten days, with no rules. You can use any means you can think of."

"Killing a Tier 1 beast earns one point, Tier 2 earns ten points, Tier 3 earns one hundred points, and so on. The highest Tier 6 beast in the secret realm earns one hundred thousand points for killing it. The school's Sky Eye Device will help you record the information."

"After the trial ends, every point can be multiplied by 100 and exchanged for 100 Dragon Kingdom Coins, with no upper limit."

"And there are huge rewards for the top ten."

"Finally, a reminder to all Dragon Soul students: the secret realm is fraught with danger. In case of an emergency, even your mentor may not be able to come to your rescue in time. Your life is in your own hands, so please act according to your abilities before taking any action."

"Alright, that's enough."

"The secret realm...opens!"

next second.

A two-meter-high blue portal instantly appeared in the center of the square.

……
