Within the secret realm.

A teleportation array appeared beneath the corpse of the polar behemoth, and Ollie and the other two landed together, landing firmly on the ice.

Pei Yuening also jumped off Juanjuan's back.

Lin Huaijin raised his chin: "Let's go."

"Okay." Ollie nodded, then slowly reached out and poured magic into the array.

A light shone, and in the blink of an eye, we arrived at the second level.

Gao Gao still exclaimed, "Wow—!!!???"

She opened her mouth wide, but before she could even finish saying "Wow," she was suddenly covered in sand.

"Ptooey, ptooey, yue~"

She spat out a few mouthfuls, sand mixed with saliva dripping from the corners of her mouth, leaving her throat feeling grainy.

Pei Yuening raised her hand to shield her eyes from the sun and glanced around.

The desert stretched as far as the eye could see, and the dry heat rose from the ground, distorting even the edges of the field of vision.

Gao Gao had already shrunk back onto his shoulder: "Master! It's so hot!"

Pei Yuening was also a little upset: "I can't take it anymore... Juanjuan, go and take down the BOSS!!"

Juanjuan peeked out from his arms, her nose twitching: "Right here."

Ryan was taken aback: "Huh?"

Before they could say another word, the sand beneath their feet suddenly rose up.

Amidst the flying sand, a robust, unidentified object suddenly emerged from beneath the sand.

Sandworm, a terrestrial earth-type A-rank magical beast.

Its round body twisted segment by segment, and its head had only one huge, ring-shaped mouth covered with sharp teeth, which slowly opened in their direction.

Ryan and Ollie were already in their fighting stances.

Lin Huaijin conjured a fiery blade in his hand, its flames shining brightly amidst the heatwave.

"There's no need to roll this one up," Lin Huaijin said.

Pei Yuening decisively took three steps back: "Okay, then hurry up, I'm dying of heat."

"Um."

Ryan made the first move.

He raised his hand and chanted, and a beam of emerald green magical light surged from his palm, disappearing straight into the sand.

The next second, a patch of green blossoms appeared beneath the sandworm.

Several robust cacti rose from the ground, their bodies covered in sharp thorns and their branches twisted and gnarled, all entwining around the sandworm's body.

The sandworm paused for a moment, its mouthparts opening and closing angrily as it twisted its body in an attempt to break free.

But Ollie had already leaped up.

He moved with incredible speed, and the curved blade formed from water magic slashed heavily down on the side of the sandworm's writhing body, causing dark green blood to splatter from the wound.

Gao Gao accidentally took a sniff.

Then--

"Yue~~~vomit!!!"

Lin Huaijin followed closely behind.

Magic surged in his hands, and scorching flames clung to the blade. Following the cut left by Ollie, he slashed again with a backhand.

The magical collision of opposing elements instantly produced a surge of scalding steam.

The sandworm let out a sharp hiss, its entire body convulsed violently twice, and then crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of sand and dust.

There was no further movement.

The two landed gracefully, and Pei Yuening couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! What amazing swordsmanship!"

Ollie crossed his arms and gave a haughty "humph".

"Nonsense, my father taught me that."

Pei Yuening's eyes flickered slightly, and a sweet expression appeared on her face: "Oh~"

That's even more handsome.

Ye Jiyun on the referee's stand: "..."

……

The third layer.

As soon as the scene changed, Pei Yuening was deterred by the oppressive heat.

The humidity in the rainforest is so high that it's difficult to breathe, and there are vines hanging down everywhere.

The branches and leaves overhead were so dense that sunlight could only seep through the gaps.

He even sat on Juanjuan's back and refused to get down.

Because there was a swamp right beneath their feet.

Even the soil was covered with countless monster ants.

The condensed water droplets fell with a pattering sound. Pei Yuening squinted and glanced at them, discovering that there were actually leeches hidden inside!

"Ugh! How disgusting!!!"

Pei Yuening got goosebumps all over: "Juanjuan! Hurry! I need to get out!"

"Okay, okay, just bear with it a little longer, the monsters are coming soon."

The tree canopy overhead suddenly shook violently.

A giant, dark red snake hung upside down from a tree branch, its cold tongue stealthily extending—

Pei Yuening caught a glimpse of it and stared at it, who had just opened its mouth.

Then he suddenly shrank back: "Curly!!!"

"What?"

"There's a snake!!!"

At crucial moments, it was Lin Huaijin again.

He conjured flames again, aimed at the target's seven-inch mark, and tore it open.

The whole process took less than ten seconds.

The exit of the secret realm appeared before them. Lin Huaijin was speechless: "It's just a B-rank magical beast. You even have a dragon breath protective shield. Is it really necessary?"

Pei Yuening screamed, "A person who's afraid is afraid!"

"Was it the same as the bamboo viper from last time?"

"right!"

Ryan turned around: "What bamboo viper?"

Pei Yuening spoke faster than she thought: "Oh, it's in Youguangping..."

He suddenly came to his senses and immediately covered his mouth.

"N-nothing..."

Is this something that can be said?

On the Gloom Plains, he subdued Eggman, and then had Eggman weave a dream for Ollie and Ryan, allowing them to express their feelings for each other and come together in the dream.

But Ollie and Ryan themselves were completely unaware of this.

I have this inexplicable feeling of guilt... Speaking of which, Egg has been following Ye Jiyun the whole time. If someone mentions this when we go out, what will happen to Ryan and the others...?

"Yue Ning?" Ryan tilted his head and reached out to touch his forehead. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Pei Yuening caught her breath and shook her head, saying, "No...no."

Oldo glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.

Pei Yuening urged hurriedly, "Hurry, hurry, the exit is out! Let's get out first! It's so stuffy in here! I'm suffocating!"

"it is good."

The four stepped onto the teleportation array one after another, and a light shone, engulfing them.

When they opened their eyes again, they were already standing on a platform outside the entrance to the secret realm.

The warm sunshine fell gently on my body, while a dry breeze swept over me.

For the first time in his life, Pei Yuening felt that the air quality in the capital was so good.

He Shuming stood in front of the entrance to the secret realm, his golden pocket watch already closed.

"The selection process is over, and the winning team has been determined." She turned around and nodded to Pei Yuening and the others, "It took exactly 18 minutes. Congratulations!"

Juanjuan exclaimed, "What?! I'm slower than Luo Ren?!"

Pei Yuening quickly covered its mouth, then turned to He Shuming with a forced smile and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, Teacher He."

"Um."

As soon as she finished speaking, several beams of light flashed through the rift in the secret realm.

With the selection process over, everyone in the secret realm was forcibly ejected.

The other participating teams appeared one after another in front of the entrance, and everyone looked blank, not yet able to react.

Applause erupted from the referee's stand.

Qi Zhiyue took the lead, and Lin Yunjin and Xin Tong were in high spirits, while the surrounding noble children applauded.

Ye Jiyun remained composed, but her gaze towards Pei Yuening was filled with undisguised pride.

Luo Ren was the same; all he could see was that smiling figure in the sunlight.

The applause gradually subsided, and the audience began to disperse.

Ye Jiyun's smile faded, and she slowly stood up.

Lin Yunjin's eyes darted around, while Xin Tong's excited hand almost crushed his testicles.

"Your Grace," Ye Jiyun said, "please."

Luo Ren: "…………"
