Just as Lu Yijun was suddenly attacked by wind blades, Chen Fei was not spared either. Similar wind blades appeared behind him.
The difference was that the wind blades were easily shattered by the Haoying Sword in Chen Fei’s hand.
However, as the wind blades shattered, two more emerged around them, their power clearly enhanced compared to before.
“Wind Blade Nest!”
“Chen Yang, leave this place quickly!”
Lu Yijun’s expression changed slightly. As he spoke, he began retreating rapidly.
Yet, the wind blades seemed to have eyes of their own. Even as he backed away, they locked onto him. With a loud explosion, they shot toward him.
The wind blades were incredibly fast, and both Chen Fei and Lu Yijun could sense an invisible force in the surroundings that was gradually affecting their movements.
Chen Fei hesitated no longer. Channeling his spiritual energy, he activated the Silver Moon Sword Technique and positioned himself beside Lu Yijun.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
All four wind blades were shattered by his Haoying Sword.
“What is the Wind Blade Nest?” Chen Fei asked Lu Yijun, puzzled.
“The Wind Blade Nest is a natural danger within the secret realm. Once trapped inside, escaping is nearly impossible.”
Lu Yijun, fully focused on retreating, was extremely wary of such a perilous situation.
Chen Fei followed closely behind. After shattering the four wind blades, he soon realized that eight more had appeared.
This time, none of the eight wind blades targeted Lu Yijun. Instead, they all locked onto Chen Fei, as if recognizing him as the real threat for destroying the previous set.
Boom!
Chen Fei once again shattered the eight wind blades, noticing that their power had increased further. The intensity of these blades was now strong enough to pose a serious threat to a Half-Step Spiritual Master.
“Don’t linger in battle! Leave the Wind Blade Nest’s area quickly, or we’ll be trapped!”
By this time, Lu Yijun had already fled several hundred meters and called out a reminder to Chen Fei.
Finally, after destroying another eight wind blades, Chen Fei managed to escape the Wind Blade Nest’s domain.
Lu Yijun let out a sigh of relief. “Luckily, you were here. Otherwise, I might not have escaped so easily.”
“It was nothing.”
Chen Fei understood that the Wind Blade Nest might not have seemed too threatening at first, but if they had been delayed, getting surrounded by countless wind blades could have meant death, even for a Half-Step True Spiritual Master.
“Chen Yang, since we’ve encountered a natural danger in this secret realm, it means we’ve entered the inner area.”
“From now on, we not only need to watch out for Wind Blade Nests but also for ambushes from other people.”
Lu Yijun warned.
Chen Fei nodded slightly. Over a hundred Grand Spiritual Masters had entered this realm, including powerhouses from Qinling.
This didn’t worry him too much. With his current strength, he was confident in dealing with the geniuses from Qinghai Academy and Tianjiao Academy.
However, he had never encountered a genius from Qinling before, so he was uncertain about how he would compare.
At the same time, since they had entered the inner area, he might also run into Su Ran.
Thinking of Su Ran, Chen Fei couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Though she was strong, the secret realm was filled with dangers, and there were also powerful individuals from Qinling.
Most importantly, Su Ran’s strongest techniques required time to cast, which was a significant weakness.
“Senior Lu, what kind of opportunity do you need to break through to the True Spiritual Master realm?”
Right now, Chen Fei’s priority was to help Lu Yijun break through. Once that was done, he would be free to do what he wanted in the secret realm.
“A spirit mine, a True Spiritual Master-level rare flower or herb, or some special location…”
Lu Yijun answered, “Don’t worry, the inner area definitely has what I need, and in decent quantity—there should be at least a dozen kinds.”
Chen Fei immediately understood.
In other words, over a hundred people had entered this place in search of breakthrough opportunities, but only about ten would actually succeed.
A ten percent chance. The competition was already brutal, and with the addition of Qinling and the Wan Guo Merchant Guild’s elite fighters, it would be even harder for Lu Yijun.
No wonder Sun Qianyi had been so generous to Chen Fei. No wonder the Academy Head had personally sought out the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, even lending Chen Fei the Golden Silk Armor and the Haoying Sword.
On the surface, it seemed like they were helping Chen Fei, but in reality, the Academy Head was paving the way for his grandson, Lu Yijun.
As they continued forward, Lu Yijun’s vision remained far superior to Chen Fei’s. Along the way, they encountered two more rare herbs.
However, the deeper they went, the heavier Lu Yijun’s heart became.
As he had mentioned before entering, the sooner he found the resources needed for his breakthrough, the easier it would be to secure and refine them.
On the other hand, the further they went, the higher the chances of encountering those resources—but competition would be fiercer. More powerful geniuses would be nearby, making it much harder to claim anything.
“It seems I won’t have such good fortune after all. If I want to break through, I’ll likely have to fight for it.”
Lu Yijun sighed.
“Junior Brother Chen Yang, I’ll have to trouble you.”
He turned to Chen Fei.
“I already promised you and Headmaster Sun. If we find the right opportunity for your breakthrough, I will do everything in my power to help you succeed.”
Chen Fei answered firmly.
“What if our opponent is a Qinling powerhouse? Or someone from the Wan Guo Merchant Guild?”
Lu Yijun trusted Chen Fei’s words but worried that he might back down in the face of such powerful factions.
“No matter who it is, I will fulfill my promise.”
Chen Fei nodded resolutely.
Before they entered, Sun Qianyi had repeatedly told them not to provoke Qinling and to avoid unnecessary conflict.
But clearly, neither Lu Yijun nor Chen Fei, two hot-blooded young men, had taken those words to heart.
Opportunities were rare. When the time came, they had to act. As long as they didn’t kill anyone, they didn’t believe that Qinling’s great figures would personally step in to punish them over such minor scuffles.
If they did, with so many disciples under their command, wouldn’t they be too busy dealing with disputes to cultivate themselves?
“Hahaha!”
Lu Yijun laughed heartily, giving Chen Fei a bear hug.
“Junior Brother Chen Yang, just for that, from this moment on, you are my sworn brother! One day, we will make a place for ourselves in the Great Qing Kingdom!”
“Mm!”
Chen Fei nodded, acknowledging Lu Yijun as his sworn brother.
“Brother Chen Fei, our opportunity has arrived!”
Lu Yijun pointed toward a patch of thorny underbrush in the distance.
Unfortunately, it was beyond the range of the Spirit Cat’s perception, so Chen Fei couldn’t see it.
“Hmm?”
Chen Fei looked at Lu Yijun, puzzled.
“Brother Chen Fei, I’ve noticed that your vision is impaired. You can’t see very far.”
“Don’t worry, I will keep this secret for you—even from Headmaster Sun. If I successfully break through, once we return, I will scour Tianyuan City to find a spiritual medicine to restore your sight!”
Lu Yijun pounded his chest in assurance.
