Chapter 428 -247: Rhombic Drill Poison Ghost

At that moment, Zhong Yi had no idea what kind of benefits the Second Level Secret Realm Monopolizer Badge would bring him.

This exploration of the Secret Realm had utterly drained all of Zhong Yi’s energy.

His soul felt muddled and groggy, exceptionally weak and weary.

Zhong Yi didn’t even have time to say goodbye to Long Mu and Liu Shu.

Nor did he wait for Qiao Shuyu to deliver the resources she had promised him before he logged out of the Virtual Source Network.

After leaving the Virtual Source Network, Zhong Yi didn’t wake up immediately in the real world. Instead, he remained unconscious for a full day and a half before finally opening his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Zhong Yi saw Zhong Ling, Shen Xuan, Zhong Chenghuai, Flower Venerable, Star Night, and the others gathered anxiously around his bed.

Their faces were all etched with clear looks of worry.

Seeing Zhong Yi awake, the worried expressions on their faces didn’t disappear.

But a wave of relief washed over them, as if a great weight had been lifted from their hearts.

Zhong Yi looked at their expressions, savoring the feeling of being cared for, and a warmth spread through his heart.

It had been three months since Zhong Yi had arrived in this world.

In those three months, Zhong Yi had already developed a sense of belonging in the Guardian Beast World.

“Young Master, you were unconscious for so long. Are you feeling unwell anywhere? If you are feeling unwell, Young Master, we’ll have Elder Tao give you a thorough check-up when he gets back.”

As Zhong Ling spoke, her big eyes were welling up with tears.

Shen Xuan’s eyes were red-rimmed as well.

Zhong Yi sat up and quickly said,

“There’s nothing wrong with my body. I’m a Healer myself. If there were something wrong with me, don’t you think I’d know? I just used up too much Soul Power on the Virtual Source Network, so I passed out from exhaustion. Once you two start exploring Secret Realms on the Virtual Source Network, you’ll understand.”

Zhong Yi offered these words to comfort Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling.

Zhong Chenghuai didn’t understand what the Virtual Source Network was, let alone what it meant to explore a Secret Realm on it, so he remained worried even after Zhong Yi’s explanation.

Flower Venerable and Star Night, however, understood exactly why Zhong Yi had been unconscious for so long.

‘So Zhong Yi participated in a Secret Realm opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company on the Virtual Source Network and explored it. For him to have only woken up after so long, he must have achieved a good ranking in the Secret Realm. If he’d been eliminated quickly after entering, he wouldn’t have used up so much Soul Power.’

The Secret Realms opened by the Wanyu Gambling Company were aimed at the major factions on the Virtual Source Network.

Zhong Yi had only acquired the Source Material Celestial Shuttle less than a month ago, yet he had already joined a faction on the Virtual Source Network.

This revelation left Star Night and Flower Venerable astounded at the speed of Zhong Yi’s growth.

After reassuring Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan, Zhong Yi turned to Zhong Chenghuai, Star Night, and the others and said,

“I’m fine now. There’s no need to worry.”

As he spoke, Zhong Yi’s gaze shifted to Ren Suxin. ‘Thankfully, before I entered the Virtual Source Network to explore the Secret Realm, I raised the Resurrection Celestial Lord’s Tier to Extraordinary Tier, Gold Quality, and obtained the Life Healing Totem Skill. I not only carved the Life Healing Totem onto the heavily injured Star Night and Fallen Star Night Qilin but also on Ren Suxin, who needs to be healed at least twice a day. Otherwise, with me being unconscious for so long, Ren Suxin would have suffered terribly.’

The agony of her bones constantly cracking felt like ten thousand insects gnawing at her marrow.

Ren Suxin had endured so much suffering because of her Lifebound Guardian Beast, the Nirvana Phoenix Peony.

Her fate seemed fraught with hardship, but if she could just endure it, the combat ability of a Nirvana Phoenix Peony that had awakened its Lifebound Phoenix would be no less than that of an Order Beast wielding Rule Authority.

Furthermore, if they could obtain a great treasure on the Virtual Source Network that could grant the Nirvana Phoenix Peony Rule Authority, its potential would surely rise to another level.

Once Ren Suxin passed through her nine Nirvana cycles, and with proper cultivation, Zhong Yi believed that even if she couldn’t become a Zhenxing C Level Talent, she still had the potential to become a C Level Talent on her own merits.

Now that Zhong Yi was awake, there was no longer any need for everyone to crowd around his bed.

After washing up, Zhong Yi had a hearty meal and then called Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling over.

Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling had advanced to the Extraordinary Tier even before Zhong Yi, and both of their Guardian Beasts had been improved with the help of Zhao Kai and Tao En.

Zhong Yi wanted to check on the current condition of their Guardian Beasts.

After getting an update on their status, it would be time to explore a Second Level Secret Realm.

Exploring a normal Secret Realm not only yielded a Heart of the Secret Realm but also a Shelter and a special Secret Realm Guardian Beast.

By exploring two Second Level Secret Realms and obtaining two points of Divine Origin Value, they would be able to open a Second Level Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm.

It was about time for Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan to begin their true training in a Divine Origin Slaughter Secret Realm!

Hearing Zhong Yi mention exploring a Second Level Secret Realm, both Shen Xuan and Zhong Ling grew very excited.

A long time had passed since they had explored the Ice Cave Secret Realm with Zhong Li.

Zhong Ling and Shen Xuan had both grown immensely after exploring the Ice Cave Secret Realm.

Therefore, they were both eagerly looking forward to exploring a Second Level Secret Realm.

Seeing that Zhong Yi wanted to see his progress, Shen Xuan summoned his Order Beast Mother of Ten Thousand Erosions.

After summoning the Ten Thousand Corrosive Poison Mother, Shen Xuan also summoned the Diamond Poison Golem he had newly contracted.

However, it was no longer entirely accurate to call Shen Xuan’s newly contracted, defense-type Poison Attribute Guardian Beast a Diamond Poison Golem.
