Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, the slime’s eyes narrowed into a thin slit and rubbed affectionately on Bai Qi’s face before hopping and bouncing towards the planting area.

It was a bit tired of the taste of Blast Power recently and wanted to try something new.

Blorp blorp?

The slime reached a pile of Soul-Calming Grass and curiously prodded it. Suddenly, it expanded, swallowing the entire pile of the grass.

Belch-

After devouring such a large pile of Soul-Calming Grass, the slime seemed quite satisfied. It let out a full burp and lay motionless on the spot. Its body, which had become bright red from ingesting a large amount of Blast Power, gradually became transparent.

Seeing the slime in this state, Bai Qi, who had originally planned to discuss the secret realm transformation with Schuck, was stunned on the spot.

“Schuck, didn’t I just say I’d feed it all it wants?”

Schuck nodded his head and said, “So, Beast Master, are you planning to go back on your word?”

Bai Qi stiffened at his words, and said, “Of course not. I am always a man of my word!”

With that, Bai Qi walked over to the slime, hugged it in his arms, and said, “Ahem, but the recent secret realm transformation has been a bit chaotic. I think I’d better take this little guy out first.”

Schuck:”…”

After Bai Qi left the Secret Realm, he looked at the blazing sun outside the window and decided against going out. He directly replenished Alpha, who had just come out of the Evolution Egg, with an egg and tossed the slime to one side. Then he started toying with the Rune Rubik’s Cube.

Recently, because he was busy studying Rune Evolution, Bai Qi basically had no time to study the Rune Rubik’s Cube. Now that he had some free time, he naturally wanted to give it a thorough inspection.

According to the results of his previous research, a low- level servant could carry one rune, a mid-level servant two…a high-grade elite six, and so on. Almost every bloodline small level could carry one more rune.

Now that Alpha had been promoted to the Intermediate Lord Level, in theory, it should be able to carry two more runes. Bai Qi naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to enhance their power.

Moreover, playing with this Rune Rubik’s Cube actually enhanced his Spirit Power. Although the effect wasn’t as noticeable as using the Evolution Egg, it was all about steady progress and accumulating small gains.

Bai Qi had already observed in the assembly hall that the lowest level of the other participants was around three while there were a few at level four.

As for level five, in theory, they shouldn’t need to come here for training.

Knock Knock Knock!

Just as Bai Qi was engrossed in solving the tenth-order Rubik’s Cube, a knock on the door interrupted his train of thought.

Bai Qi was a stranger here, and the only two people he knew were Bai Qiucha and Gu Shan.

according to Gu Shan’s reticent nature, the chances of him taking the initiative to approach were slim. So it might be Bai Qiucha.

“I hope he’s not here to get back at me for this morning’s incident…” Bai Qi thought to himself with some unease. After all, he had hitched a ride on the other’s private plane. His actions were indeed a bit out of line.

If it really came to that, he’d let him have a go at it.

Bai Qi gritted his teeth and silently made up his mind. He then opened the door, only to find Luo Xiang standing there.

“I didn’t expect to catch up with you. I thought you’d be late.”

Luo Xiang sized up Bai Qi and said, “So, how is it? Getting along with Zhang Shan okay?”

“Heh… I’m not dead yet.”

Bai Qi chuckled and turned to walk into the room, with Luo Xiang not hesitating to follow him in.

“Brother Luo, didn’tyou just say you were in a hurry? How come you’re back so soon? Have you already taken care of it?”

Returning to the room, Bai Qi casually put the Rubik’s Cube aside, and asked.

“Notyet, but I’m also one of the instructors for this training, I had to come back either way.”

Luo Xiang shrugged, and said, “Also, stop calling me ‘Team Leader.” It sounds weird. Just call me by my name or Brother Luo, like Cha does.”

“Uh, Brother Luo, you’re also an instructor?”

“I am the Master of the Sunrise Level after all. Is it really that strange to be an instructor?”

“Not strange at all. It’s entirely reasonable!”

Bai Qi yanked the corner of his mouth. Given Luo Xiang’s character, he was pretty sure that Luo Xiang would just provide a few clues and let him figure the rest out.

Speaking from experience, no objections allowed.

“But I won’t stay for long. Most of the time, the training will be handled by the head instructor.”

With that, a sympathetic expression crossed Luo Xiang’s face, and he said, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you, you’d better bring plenty of supplements for the upcoming training. I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it otherwise.” Supplements?

Sorry, that’s one thing I’ve got plenty of.

Bai Qi quietly noted Luo Xiang’s advice. Luo Xiang noticed the slime on Bai Qi’s bedside and was instantly intrigued, picking it up.

“A slime? Are you planning on doing some sort of research again?”

Luo Xiang naturally knew about Bai Qi’s previous research on rune evolution. Upon seeing the slime, he immediately had this thought.

“You think too highly of me. How on earth would I research a slime…”

Luo Xiang chuckled, “Who knows? After all, before you, no one thought about tattooing their pets with a rune engraving knife. On my way here, I’ve heard about quite a few people trying to add runes to their pets.”

Holy crap, is the tattoo era really coming?

Bai Qi looked somewhat surprised, while Luo Xiang continued, “But as far as I know, nearly all of them have failed.”

As Bai Qi had originally predicted, most pets’ body structures were far more complex than undead creatures. This presented a fatal problem for runes, which required stable energy circulation. It seemed that there would be plenty of research to do if they wanted to popularize rune evolution amongst other pets.

“By the way, Brother Luo, did you come looking for me just to talk about this?”

Luo Xiang nodded, “Of course, there’s something else.”

“This training program is the largest one in recent years. Besides improving the younger generation’s abilities, it’s also meant to select students for the Six Tower.”

“Students of the Six Tower? Like Lu Qing?”

Bai Qi’s eyebrows rose, immediately recalling Lu Qing, who had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with him previously.

“You’ve already met Lu Qing? Well, he does primarily focus on runes, so it’s natural that he would be interested in you.”

Luo Xiang said, “Since you’vealready been in contact, I assume you’re familiar with the history of the Six Tower.”

“The Six Tower, as the core of the association, mainly consists of carefully chosen members. After all, joining the Six Tower means more opportunities and resources. In comparison, the short-term support from intensive training doesn’t quite measure up.”

“So what I’m saying is, if you don’t have any particular place you want to join after graduation, you might consider striving for it.”

Hearing this, Bai Qi nodded. Naturally, obtaining more resources was beneficial. However, he was the lowest-ranked in this training program, so whether he could compete for a spot would ultimately depend on fate.

“Oh right, this training program operates on a points system. You can exchange points for materials within the Holy Relic Tower — even mythical materials can be exchanged!”

Hearing this, Bai Qi abruptly stood up, his eyes full of determination.

He was determinated to get his hands on the mythical materials inside the Holy Relic Tower, and no one, not even the president himself, could stop him. He had his own words on that!

Gathering hall.

Full of energy, Bai Qi arrived at the hall early with Bai Qiucha, hoping to prepare ahead. However, he found that the hall was already packed; he was actually among the last arrivals.

There are overachievers everywhere these days…

Bai Qi quietly sighed before he closed his eyes to meditate on the spot, waiting for Leng Feifei’s arrival.

According to Bai Qiucha, there was a high likelihood that a large-scale battle would take place today to assess the abilities of all students, and possibly rank them, thereby encouraging competition among the students.

Bai Qi was quite familiar with these tactics, so he wasn’t surprised.

Finally, at exactly eight o’clock, Leng Feifei made her timely appearance in the gathering hall. With her were Luo Xiang, Zhang Shan, and a few other people Bai Qi didn’t recognize.

It appeared that they were going to be the instructors for this training program.

After a quick glance at the essentially unchanged number of students, she nodded, and then threw out a palm-sized wooden door.

The wooden door grew with the wind, quickly enlargifying into a ten-person high size, standing tall in the middle of the gathering hall.

“Is that… the entrance to the Secret Realm?”

The instant Leng Feifei took out the wooden door, Bai Qi immediately sensed an aura similar to that of the Secret Realm Ring. After seeing the deep passage behind the door, he was convinced this was the case.

Is today’s content going to take place within the Secret Realm?

“Since you chose to stay, I assume you’ve prepared mentally. So now, I’ll announce the first task for this training session: running!”

Running?

The Beast Masters began to whisper amongst themselves in surprise, clearly not expecting Leng Feifei’s task to be so simple.

“Tsk, these youngsters are still too naive, thinking that running will be as easy as pie. It might not be the hardest task, but it certainly is the most torturous one,” Luo Xiang couldn’t help but snicker, while Zhang Shan coldly warned him, “Mind your image. And leaking the content of the training just now counts as disclosing confidential information. 1 will report this to the Schizonepeta Tower.”

“Such a buzzkill.”

Luo Xiang sighed, but obediently shut his mouth. The Schizonepeta Tower wasn’t a place for just anyone. If he provoked this guy too much, it was entirely possible he would be sent there.

One must choose one’s friends wisely …

Bai Qi looked at the Secret Realm’s entrance in front of him and then at Luo Xiang, who was casting a mysterious smile his way. He sensed something was off.

If all they were doing was running, there was no need to decamp into the Secret Realm. There were plenty of open spaces in Songlin City.

Seeing this, Leng Feifei didn’t waste any more words. She took the lead in passing through the entrance to the Secret Realm, saying, “I’ll lead the way. Until I stop running, the task doesn’t end.”

Without waiting for the Beast Masters to react, she immediately started running into the entrance, disappearing into the passage soon after.

Seeing this, the Beast Masters stopped hesitating and hurried after her. Bai Qi was no exception. He stepped in without lagging behind.

However, in the moment he crossed the gate, he felt his body sinking and almost lost his balance.

Others weren’t as lucky. They fell to the ground as soon as they entered the gate. The people behind them didn’t have time to avoid and ended up in a heap together.

Looking at their embarrassing state, Bai Qi silently distanced himself. He tried moving a bit and quickly noticed the anomaly here.

The gravity here seems to be much stronger than outside.
