Chen Fei followed Lu Yijun off the carriage and saw Sun Qianyi, who had been waiting for a long time.
“Dean Sun!” Chen Fei saluted respectfully.
“Chen Yang, there’s no need for such formality. After all, you are not only a specially recruited student of Silver Moon Academy but also the president of the Universal Chamber of Commerce.
“For our Silver Moon Academy, and even for the Great Qing Kingdom, this is a great cause for celebration.
“I specifically requested the dean to allocate resources for you, hoping they will help you gain more from the secret realm.”
As Sun Qianyi spoke, he took out a set of soft armor and a long sword.
“This is…?” Chen Fei was astonished, as he had not expected this at all. Even Lu Yijun had not mentioned it on the way.
“This is the Ice Silk Soft Armor and the Silver Shadow Sword of Silver Moon Academy.”
Sun Qianyi explained, “The Ice Silk Soft Armor requires only a small amount of spiritual energy to activate its embedded formation, providing defense comparable to a first-grade True Spirit Master. Moreover, the higher the quality of the spiritual energy, the stronger the defense, reaching up to the level of a fifth-grade True Spirit Master at its peak.”
“The Silver Shadow Sword is a mid-tier spiritual weapon. Not only is it incredibly sharp, but it also enhances the Silver Moon Sword Technique, increasing its power by at least fifty percent.”
“Of course, these two treasures are only loaned to you for use within the secret realm. You must return them afterward.”
Sun Qianyi smiled as he spoke.
Lu Yijun, who had been watching, was already dumbfounded. These two items were among the top treasures of Silver Moon Academy, yet even as the dean’s grandson, he had never received such treatment.
“Grandpa Sun, what about me?” Lu Yijun looked at Sun Qianyi expectantly but received no response. He couldn’t help but say, “You can’t favor one over the other!”
“This decision was made by your grandfather, not me. Besides, do you really think Silver Moon Academy is your personal domain?”
“Using these treasures requires His Majesty’s approval!”
“Don’t worry. With Chen Yang protecting you, as long as you don’t court death, you should be fine.”
Sun Qianyi replied bluntly.
Chen Fei never expected such an honor. Even Lu Yijun, the grandson of the academy’s dean, hadn’t received such treatment, yet he did.
Although the treasures were only temporary, their significance to Chen Fei was immense.
“Thank you for your generosity, Dean Sun. I will not fail the academy’s trust. I will protect Senior Lu and assist him in reaching the True Spirit Master realm.” Chen Fei accepted the treasures and immediately made his promise.
It was clear that he had received these treasures because of two factors: his influence as the head of the Universal Chamber of Commerce and his role in helping Lu Yijun break through to the True Spirit Master realm.
With both conditions met, he had qualified to borrow these treasures to enter the secret realm and fight for opportunities.
Sure enough, Sun Qianyi smiled in satisfaction and said, “Let’s go to the secret realm entrance. Once it opens, we will enter immediately.”
With that, he led Chen Fei and Lu Yijun into the small courtyard’s inner chamber.
It turned out that the entrance to the secret realm was hidden within this small courtyard, explaining why they had been staying here. It also allowed them to sense the signs of the secret realm’s impending activation at the first opportunity.
The entrance was a mass of yellow mist, similar to the fog that shrouded Yellow Mist City year-round.
The difference was that around this mist, there were special formation devices embedded with hundreds of mid-tier spirit stones and three high-tier spirit stones.
The formation and the yellow mist seemed interconnected, emitting a rhythmic, resounding vibration.
At that moment, Chen Fei understood why Sun Qianyi had said the number of people entering the secret realm was limited.
Although the entrance was here, it was only a weak connection point to the emerging secret realm. To link the secret realm with the outside world, the formation device was necessary, along with sufficient spirit stones to supply energy.
Silver Moon Academy’s formation device could only allow three people to enter. Any more, and the formation would not be able to support them.
If this was the case for Silver Moon Academy, then the same was likely true for Lu Kingdom’s Tianjiao Academy and Zhou Kingdom’s Qinghai Academy. They would probably also be able to send only three people each.
However, it was uncertain how many people the formations of the Universal Chamber of Commerce, Qinling Sect, and other ancient noble families could accommodate.
“How many Grand Spirit Masters will be in the first layer of the secret realm this time?” Chen Fei asked.
“Based on the information I have, the number of Grand Spirit Masters entering the first layer has already exceeded a hundred,” Sun Qianyi replied.
“So many?” Chen Fei was surprised.
“The Universal Chamber of Commerce, and especially the Qinling Sect, have brought many people this time,” Sun Qianyi explained. “You don’t need to worry about the people from the Universal Chamber of Commerce. You are part of the same faction, and internal conflict is strictly forbidden.”
“However, as for the Qinling Sect, you must be extremely cautious once you enter. Avoid them whenever possible. Do not act recklessly, or you might bring disaster upon yourself.”
Sun Qianyi’s words were directed specifically at Chen Fei, as Lu Yijun was already aware of this.
“Why?”
“If we encounter a competition for opportunities, must we always yield?”
Chen Fei was astonished.
“Yes, you must yield!” Sun Qianyi answered firmly. “The Qinling Sect’s Grand Spirit Masters are all exceptionally powerful. Some may have even opened their Spiritual Seas early, becoming rare Spiritual Technique Masters. Others might have cultivated rare Earth-grade martial arts.”
“Against such formidable opponents, even the Universal Chamber of Commerce must tread carefully, let alone smaller factions like ours.”
“Furthermore, even if you manage to suppress some disciples from the Qinling Sect, they will not let it go. Once you leave the secret realm, they will come after you for revenge.”
Sun Qianyi added.
“The Qinling Sect is so powerful and lawless?” Chen Fei was indignant. They were all risking their lives in the secret realm for opportunities. Why should they yield just because their opponents were from the Qinling Sect?
“In this world, strength is the ultimate law. If one day you surpass all the Qinling Sect’s experts, then you can also act as you please in their territory,” Sun Qianyi said helplessly.
“Chen Yang, that Thousand-Stage Spiritual Technique Master from the City Lord’s Mansion is extremely powerful, right?” Lu Yijun said. “The Qinling Sect has over a hundred such experts.”
Chen Fei fell silent.
One Ye Chenxing had already suppressed both him and Su Ran, making it hard to breathe. If there were over a hundred full-powered Thousand-Stage Spiritual Technique Masters, he could only imagine the terrifying strength they possessed.
“I understand,” Chen Fei nodded. He had no desire to make enemies with the Qinling Sect and be hunted by hundreds of Thousand-Stage Spiritual Technique Masters.
“It’s starting!”
“Get ready!”
“The secret realm is about to open!”
As the vibrations grew louder, resembling the sound of war drums, Sun Qianyi became serious.
