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

"Hey! Your chopsticks are covered in your saliva, why are you still putting food on Ye Chen's plate?!"

"Mind your own business."

Lin Yao glanced at her indifferently, then peeled a shrimp and put it in Ye Chen's bowl, leaving Ye Chen feeling helpless.

Such intimate behavior caused Bai Jinhan's chest to heave violently.

Jiang Cha kept his head down, focused only on eating, and didn't dare to look up and observe the war.

Just as Bai Jinhan was about to explode, Ye Chen's phone suddenly rang.

The two women stopped what they were doing and stared at each other.

Ye Chen took out his phone and glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number.

"Feed? Who?"

"Ye Chen?"

A deep voice came through the microphone.

"It's me. Who are you?"

"Hongwu".

Ye Chen realized what was happening.

"Oh, you're here about the Dragon Vein Grass, right? I've already brought it over. When are you free to come and pick it up? I live at..."

"That's not what I wanted to talk to you about."

Before he could finish speaking, Hongwu interrupted him.

Ye Chen was puzzled.

"So what do you want from me?"

"My family found me a broken secret realm, and I need someone who can fight with me. Do you want to come?"

A shattered secret realm?!

Ye Chen was startled.

He had learned about this online.

A complete secret realm is like the one where they conducted their previous trials; it has rules, an owner, and a complete ecosystem.

A shattered secret realm is a "part of a secret realm" resulting from the death of its master, the lack of management, the invalidation of its rules, and the disintegration of its smaller world.

It is also known as the Shattered Realm.

Such places are usually scattered throughout various nodes in space. Finding them requires very strong spatial abilities and comes at a great cost.

Even a Martial King-level spatial talent expert would need several months to recover and return to their peak after finding a broken secret realm.

During this period, he needed protection from others, which can be said to be an extreme test of his mentality and humanity.

Correspondingly, the benefits gained are also extremely abundant.

Just like that secret realm in the previous trial.

The mountains and fields are covered with medicinal herbs, exotic animals, minerals, and rare plants and animals.

You can exchange any of these items for money.

Developing a single broken secret realm can often be equivalent to several years of hard work by a top-tier family!

Most importantly, it may also contain the owner's collection and treasures accumulated over many years.

This aspect is priceless!

It should be noted that none of the people who possess secret realms are below the Grandmaster level.

They certainly wouldn't have any junk items in their hands.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The Hong family must have paid a heavy price to find this broken secret realm.

I never expected that Hongwu would think of him.

Once you agree, you'll owe them a huge favor.

His unusual behavior caught the attention of Lin Yao and the others, who all turned to look at him.

Ye Chen spoke earnestly into the phone:

"How will the spoils be distributed?"

Hongwu's voice came through.

What you get is yours.

"Okay! When are we going?"

"My family will open the Shattered Realm tomorrow night at 8 PM."

"Where should we meet?"

"Tianyun Villa District, Villa No. 1"

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

"Um."

Upon receiving a reply, Hongwu hung up the phone immediately.

Lin Yao and the others cast curious glances at them, their eyes practically begging to ask what was going on.

Seeing this, Ye Chen put down his phone and said directly:

"It was Hongwu who invited me to the Shattered Secret Realm."

"Shattered Realm!"

The three of them immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Chen nodded. "Yes, it will start tomorrow night."

A hint of envy flashed in Jiang Cha's eyes.

"Brother Chen, can I join you?"

Ye Chen smiled wryly, "I have no say in this. You know how rare the Broken Secret Realm is; I guess they won't want to bring more."

A sly glint flashed in Bai Jinhan's eyes. "Then I'll go with you tomorrow night. What if they let me in?"

"I'm going too!" Jiang Cha immediately followed.

Lin Yao sighed.

She wanted to go and see them, but unfortunately, they weren't in the same year as her, and they weren't even friends, so she had no reason to go.

An hour later.

The four left the hotel satisfied.

Bai Jinhan and Jiang Cha both had their own cars, and after agreeing on a time to meet the next evening, they went home separately.

Ye Chen got into Lin Yao's car and drove towards their residential area.

On the road.

Lin Yao, who usually loves to joke, adopted a serious expression.

"Ye Chen, the map of the Shattered Secret Realm won't be as large as the complete Secret Realm, but it will probably take several days to explore it completely. Before you go in, be sure to prepare your supplies and bring plenty of healing medicine."

"I see."

"Yes, besides that, there's one more crucial point!"

"What?"

Ye Chen glanced at Lin Yao casually.

The latter's expression suddenly turned extremely serious. "Once inside, you must be careful not to be ambushed by foreign martial artists!"

Ye Chen was startled.

"There are other people in the secret realm?!"

Lin Yao slowly explained:

"A broken secret realm is different from a complete secret realm. The spatial coordinates of a complete secret realm are known only to its master, and it can only be opened by coming into contact with the master's energy."

"Shattered secret realms wander throughout space, their protective barriers completely ineffective. Anyone can enter once discovered; you might even stumble upon one if you're unlucky!"

Lin Yao looked at Ye Chen, her eyes filled with worry.

"Under normal circumstances, humans don't fight amongst themselves, but that's only when there's no conflict of interest. The ownership of a shattered secret realm is enough to make them launch a relentless attack. If you really encounter such a situation, don't be reckless. You must leave there as soon as possible, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen fell into deep thought.

Unexpectedly, the situation was a bit complicated.

He didn't know much about the abilities of martial artists from other countries.

I need to brush up on my knowledge and make more preparations when I get back.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much money left; he had spent it all on Angel's Tears.

Otherwise, we'd better be armed to the teeth!

"Ugh."

He sighed, hoping that his luck wouldn't be that bad.

"Hey, are you even listening to what I'm saying?!" Lin Yao said anxiously.

Ye Chen quickly nodded, "I heard you, I heard you, don't worry, senior, I'll be careful."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yao glared at him with a hint of annoyance, but didn't say anything more.

Soon, the vehicle arrived at the entrance of Bai Ningbing's villa.

Ye Chen got out of the car.

Lin Yao stuck her head out of the car window again.

"What's wrong, senior? Is there something else?"

"You promised to treat me to dinner tomorrow, how are you going to make it up to me?"

A hint of grievance flashed in Lin Yao's eyes, revealing her girlish demeanor.

Clearly, it seems we won't be able to eat it.

Ye Chen smiled awkwardly and held up two fingers.

"Wait for me to come back, I'll treat you to two meals, okay?"

Hearing this, Lin Yao finally smiled.

"That's more like it, let's go."

After saying that, the vehicle drove into the darkness and disappeared.

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and returned to the villa.

The room was quiet.

Ye Chen inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

It's quite comfortable not having to greet Bai Ningbing or face her cold expression.

Back in the room.

He began browsing information about martial artists from abroad.

With the internet so readily available now, it's easy to find all sorts of video introductions.

The martial arts realm division is no different from that in the Dragon Kingdom, starting from the Body Tempering Realm.

However, there is a significant difference in their talents, with some unusual talents that are not found in China.

Terms like "psychic," "beast form," and "missionary"...

This has also led to the development of many different combat systems.

Fortunately, the Dragon Kingdom has also developed many corresponding countermeasures.

If he were to encounter an enemy of the same level, Ye Chen would not be afraid of anyone!

One of the most interesting things is that these creatures, who can transform into "werewolfs" and "vampires," are actually afraid of silver objects and crosses.

This is exactly the same as what's shown in TV dramas.

Ye Chen even wondered if he had traveled into an American TV series.
