Gurgle, I'll try to get up earlier tomorrow_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 173: Land of Challenge (3K)

What Mu Yuan didn't expect was that the key thing he had been trying to get yesterday was now in his reach.

After turning off the bronze mirror used for communication, Mu Yuan used it as an ordinary mirror, straightened his clothes and face, and walked towards a secret door next to the lord's altar.

Passing through the ripples of the water, a courtyard with birds singing and flowers blooming suddenly appears before your eyes.

There was no gathering today, and there were few players in the secret realm. All that could be seen were a few maid dolls in black and white dresses, busy cleaning with brooms in their hands.

He walked straight to the cafe and came to the familiar table at the innermost part next to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Here, there was no sign of Hanyue City Lord Liu Xiyue, but the rich young woman Liu Miumiao was waving at him.

"Boss, here, here."

Liu Miumiao enthusiastically recounted her adventure experiences and territory management.

She said that she had already defeated two powerful monster tribes and recruited and subdued an outstanding three-star warrior, the 'Mermaid High Priest'.

"Yes, you are great."

Mu Yuan praised sincerely.

After all, he had only conquered a dozen or so monster tribes so far, and there were only less than twenty generals of the three-star rank in his Tianyuan Territory.

The difference between her and Liu Miumiao is not big.

"Big Boss, be careful. I will catch up with you."

Liu Miumiao said seriously, but she felt helpless when she thought of her right-hand man Princess Feixi who always talked about Boss Tianyuan.

Obviously I am the lord.

Although Boss Tianyuan is indeed super powerful.

She paused, then took out a mysterious crescent-shaped key that glowed faintly, handed it over, and said:

"This is the key to the Land of Challenge."

As expected of a rich woman, she can easily get such rare things.

Mu Yuan asked, "What's the price?"

Liu Miaomiao said, "No money required. This key is actually what my sister wanted to give you, but she's been busy lately and can't leave. I didn't spend any money either. This key is officially given to potential lords... My sister just recommended you, sir."

Mu Yuan was surprised.

The Lord of Hanyue City actually has such high expectations of himself?

Frankly speaking, he had little confidence in himself. If the competition could be postponed for half a year or a year, it would be different. Now the time was too short.

He, Mu, is just a civilian lord with a little "talent".

Perhaps realizing that Mu Yuan had misunderstood, Liu Miumiao quickly added, "No, no, my sister means that if you have the chance to get a top-level secret realm key for free, you'd better not miss it."

She recalled the conversation she had with her sister yesterday.

"Isn't it too early, sis?"

"Too early? Maybe, but it's free anyway, so why not let him try it?"

"But won't you be discouraged? I heard the challenge area is super difficult."

Liu Xiyue glanced at her.

There was three parts of contempt, three parts of helplessness, and four parts of my soft and stupid sister in her eyes.

Liu Miumiao understood it completely.

"That's why I didn't give you the key, and why there's such a huge gap between you and Tian Yuan."

"Others might be discouraged if they enter the Challenge Land too early, but Tianyuan's talent is no less than your sister and I. I believe he will only become more courageous with each setback, and the rewards of the Challenge Land will help him advance even faster."

"My sister said that this key was obtained under the pretext of the Dragon Court Competition, but competition... we need to keep a normal mind. After all, we are still young, and the number of troops in the territory is limited, let alone forming one or two complete elite corps.

"Besides, the challenge area is very difficult. Even a big boss like you might die miserably... uh, it will be very difficult to fight."

She spoke awkwardly.

Mu Yuan understood. "Don't worry, I'm a very capable person. If I find it too difficult to get through, I won't force it. Our focus is still on building our territory."

Liu Miaomiao: "Yes, yes, yes."

Afterwards, Mu Yuan inquired about the general situation of lords such as Wuji and Kongming.

They generally possess two or three fully-fledged ace corps. What is a fully-fledged corps? It refers to a corps consisting entirely of rare soldiers, trained to elite status and realizing their full potential, numbering over one hundred.

Such a corps, if numbered one hundred, can become a sharp knife; if numbered three hundred, they can go in and out of the enemy's army seven times; if numbered one thousand, they can destroy an army that is tens or hundreds of times larger than their own.

The legions under the command of a senior lord are usually composed of three types: the complete "Ace Legion", the half-trained and half-free "Ordinary Legion", and the "Cannon Fodder Legion" that is basically not trained and is only used to explore the way and attract firepower.

However, the "ace troops" of the less experienced lords are mostly a "miscellaneous group" composed of various rare types of troops. After all, they are unable to put together a rare troop of a single type, series, or kind.

The stronger ones will be formed with a single type of arms, so that the corps created can cooperate more tacitly, or they will pay attention to the combination of arms and combat coordination.

Compared with other territories, where elites are everywhere and professional-level people are worse than dogs, his Tianyuan Territory is indeed much worse. So far, there are only a dozen elite-level strongmen.

"I'm still too weak."

After chatting for a while, Mu Yuan said goodbye to Liu Miumiao.

He stood in front of the lord's altar, with two secret realms on each side. The secret realm of the previous festival site had disappeared with the closure.

He took out this gorgeous crescent-shaped key, communicated with the territory with his mind, and activated it.

hum-

A golden glow burst out from the crescent moon, interweaving to form a golden arch with mysterious patterns, standing more than ten meters above the altar.

He walked forward towards the golden arch, and it was as if he was walking on an invisible staircase, climbing higher and higher, until he reached the door to this mysterious and extraordinary golden secret realm.

A place of challenge!

This secret realm was considered extremely high-end, with only experienced lords qualified to enter. However, the Challenge Land was also one of the most famous great secret realms. News and rumors about it were plentiful on the forums.

Just as the name suggests, it is a challenging secret realm.

The 'Newcomer Challenge Secret Realm' that we experienced that year was a primary secret realm of this type, while the Challenge Land was a top-level secret realm.

It exists eternally and has no time limit.

Also,

No one really makes it to the end.

Even in the eyes of top lords, this secret realm is still shrouded in mystery and its depths cannot be seen clearly.

Mu Yuan walked through the space curtain and what came into view was a vast white platform. There was a magnificent red tower standing in the center of the vast platform. It was divided into about seven floors, and there were spots of light shining between each floor.

Looking deeper through the red tower, you can vaguely see an equally grand and magnificent orange tower, but it is extremely far away and covered with mist, as unattainable as the bright moon in the water mirror.

'The tallest tower.'

Mu Yuan pondered.

A dozen or so figures could be seen in the distance around the giant tower, but they looked very small and inconspicuous under the majestic red tower.

These people are probably the lords of Xuan Country.

Just like the Newcomer Challenge Land and the Festival Land are divided into parallel secret spaces by region, the Challenge Land is also like this.

The difference was that the further one went into the Challenge Ground, the more the space overlapped. Around the crimson tower, he only saw lords from the Taixuan territory. But if he entered the second tower, he would see Lord Shenyao and the other Blue Star lords.

"Someone's here again."

"He looks very young, and I don't know him. He seems to be a newcomer."

"Newcomer? Finally, a newcomer has arrived at the challenge site, haha~!"

The moment Mu Yuan stepped in, he attracted the attention of the old lords.

This place is very vast, and the entire Taixuan Lord will set foot here as long as he uses the key to the secret realm, but this place is also very small, so small that sometimes you won’t see the lovely newcomers for ten days or half a month.

They looked.

The man was wearing a slim-fitting navy blue robe, with long hair tied up with a long crown. He had a handsome face and looked like a graceful young man from ancient times.

In the Eternal World, this kind of antique dress is also mainstream, and it is more common among older lords.

There was nothing unusual about the outfit, but some female lords thought to themselves that he was a very handsome young man, the type that her aunt liked.

Lord Mu is actually quite muscular, but after being integrated into the Dolai template, his overall appearance has become more slender and handsome, and he looks younger... a little younger, almost the youngest old lord.

He looked around a few times, then walked straight towards the huge red tower, and his figure quickly disappeared into the gate.

At the same moment,

At the bottom of the giant red tower, on the first floor, a stream of light appeared, shining faintly and emitting a dim light.

"He's really a newcomer."

The lord who saw this scene said affirmatively, "Guess what level this new guy can reach?"

This is the red tower, also called the first challenge tower. It has seven levels in total. Only after passing all seven levels can you enter the second area, which is the area where the orange tower is located.

The lord who spoke wore thick armor but no helmet. He had weathered eyes and black hair that flowed wildly and carelessly over his shoulders, yet it didn't look messy, instead conveying a sense of unbridled pride.

He is the lord of a city and a well-known lord in the huge Taixuan Alliance.

Respected as the Lord of the Demon Sword City.

He entered the challenge area several years ago and has been trying to break through for a long time, but he still hasn't been able to pass the red tower.

It's not that the Lord of the Demon Sword City is too weak, but the difficulty of the top secret realm of the Challenge Land is too high. Most of the senior lords stay in this "First Tower Area".

The Demon Sword City Lord's friend, another senior lord, the Silver Light City Lord, shook his head. "Do we even need to guess? Of course he can't even get past the first level. The newcomer looks too young. He must have only been in the Eternal World a short time, maybe three or two years at most."

"You have to know that even the descendants of great lords have to wait until they are sixteen at the earliest to be selected. There are also many who enter at eighteen, twenty, or even in their twenties. And this young man, he looks less than twenty years old, right? He is only about the same age as my son."

Another friend, the female lord known as 'Lord of Waves City', disagreed. She folded her arms, "I just don't believe it. I'm betting on this cute newcomer making it through the first round! I'm rooting for him!"

Despite saying so, Lord Bolan was just being stubborn.

As a lord who had already passed through the Crimson Tower, she knew full well that there were no bonus levels in the Challenge Land. This was a top-tier secret realm, so the difficulty level at the start was also top-tier!
