Chapter 1524: Part 1: Secret Land Journey |
Star University
Dean Jerome then thought of something and said, "No one will target you from outside. But once you are inside, people might act against you."
Hearing that, I understood the danger. But I was confident in my strength.
"Don’t underestimate your enemies. They might employ underhanded tactics such as poison, hidden weapons, and artifacts."
"They can endanger your lives," Jerome warned again.
I nodded to him. I had a sealing inheritance power. But I couldn’t tell him that.
"Okay, he will take you to the secret land entrance. This time there is no limit to entry. Those who have attained the Purple Mark Rank have entered the secret land."
"Some of them have already entered inside. We don’t know how long the entry time will last. It’s better for you to go there immediately," Jerome said.
"Okay," I replied.
A few minutes later,
The Purple Mark Guard grabbed my shoulder and started moving through the mid-air. In the blink of an eye, we left the Star University campus.
We were moving toward the secret land. After some time, I told the Purple Mark Guard that I could match his speed.
"Let’s keep your Purple Mark Strength hidden for now," the Purple Mark Guard said.
Hearing that, I remained silent.
One hour later,
We arrived at the neutral area. There was a big rift in the sky. Warriors could be seen entering the secret land.
"You can go. I will wait outside. You still have a target on your back," the Purple Mark Guard said.
I felt numerous gazes from everywhere. Because of my mask, everyone did nothing but probe.
Swoosh!
The next second, I flew towards the rift in the sky. I saw warriors who were outside entering inside the rift one by one.
I followed them towards the rift. The rift was nothing but a black crack. I stepped inside the black crack. The next second, I felt myself descending down to the ground.
I didn’t feel any danger. It didn’t take long to touch the ground. After landing, my gaze swept across the place.
It was a rainforest with a heavy downpour of rain. Certainly, it was not a good place for a fire elemental warrior.
But the world energy in this place was dense. It was a good place for a retreat. If I could spend a few more days here, then my other inheritance methods would reach the Purple Mark Rank as well.
A quick gleam appeared in my eyes. I decided to find a secluded spot first. For others, they needed to find resources.
But for me, the retreat was important. I had already collected resources from the loot. There were treasures which I had not consumed yet.
I turned on my perception and began to survey the surroundings first. I wanted to know about the place.
The rainforest was strangely quiet. Then, I picked a direction and started following the path.
Buzz!!
Suddenly, I heard a buzzing sound. My perception caught the appearance of an insect monster. The size of the insect monster was over the size of a fist.
When it got closer to me, I finally caught the appearance of the monster. It was a mosquito with a long, needle-like nose. It was coming in my direction.
I recognized the strength of the monster. It was a Class-13 Monster. I extended my hand and released the purple lightning force from my palm.
The purple lightning bolts came into contact with the mosquito, landing on its body. The next second, the mosquito was completely charred and fell down to the ground.
After killing it, I resumed my journey. It didn’t take long for more buzzing sounds to be heard. In my perception, I spotted a swarm of the mosquito monsters.
They were coming at a fast speed. I turned around and was ready to face them. If it had been earlier, I would have been worried, but not now.
In the blink of an eye, the swarm of mosquito monsters got closer to me. Still, I didn’t use a technique.
I manipulated the purple lightning force externally and attacked the swarm of mosquito monsters.
Boom!
The purple lightning bolts landed on the swarm of mosquitoes one by one. One after another, explosions occurred.
In the blink of an eye, the swarms of mosquito monsters were roasted. One by one, the dead bodies fell down to the ground with a heavy thud.
After killing all the mosquito monsters, I resumed my journey. On the way, I increased the threat level of the place in my mind.
The swarm of mosquito monsters earlier was made up of Class-13 Monsters. It was equal to the Purple Mark Rank of the warriors.
No wonder only the Purple Mark Warriors were allowed to enter the secret land. After a continuous journey, I finally exited the rainforest.
Then I entered a barren land. My gaze swept across the place. Compared to the rainforest, this place seemed to be fine. The downpour of heavy rain had stopped.
I continued to travel through that barren land. Soon, I found a good, secluded spot. There was a small, cave-like opening behind a bedrock. It led to an underground passage.
Seeing that, I walked inside the passage. My perception scanned the passage. There was no one inside.
I found a spot and sat down. Then I leaned against the wall. I closed my eyes and began to comprehend the shock force rune.
Buzz!
The rune in my mind began to throb. As the throbbing increased, I slowly immersed myself in the practice.
The doubts regarding the shock force power began to clear. Slowly, I was getting a deeper understanding of the shock force.
The shock force energy from the surroundings entered my body. Slowly, I guided the shock force inside my body.
Finally, it settled down inside the dantian. The circulation was also giving me clarity about the shock force power.
If this continued, I would reach the limit soon. It would only be a matter of time before my shock force power entered the Purple Mark Rank.
