As for Adrian, when he saw this young man, he couldn't help but laugh. He had seen many arrogant people, but he had noticed a pattern. It seemed that in this secret realm, such brainless arrogance was particularly common. From Duo to Elio, and now this young man before him, Adrian had seen quite a few of such people. The first two had already died at his hands, and he wondered what would become of this guy.After the Emberfallen team made their grand entrance, they intended to find a place to settle down. However, the young man noticed Adrian laughing."What are you laughing at?" he asked coldly, glaring at Adrian.Beside him, the girl held nothing in her hand, but Adrian could sense that there was something very special about her. She also looked at Adrian.Adrian met her cold gaze and shook his head. "What does my laughter have to do with you?" he replied, then turned to the young man in white."Hehe, did I upset you?" the young man asked.Adrian stood up and walked toward him.
As for the young talents, not many knew what they were like. The Blade's Reach team was excited to see Adrian and the Emberfallen team clash, but in the end, they were disappointed.Ninety-plus people from the three villages were now gathered in the cave. The light of the campfire shimmered. No one spoke much as this was not a good place for conversation. Other than the occasional crackling sounds from the bonfires and the roars of various monsters outside, it was unusually quiet.Adrian had wanted to test the girl. Unfortunately, she didn't take the bait, and he wasn't in a hurry to test her either. The night passed without incident.The next day, sunlight poured into the cave. The bonfires were extinguished, leaving behind only red embers. The three teams set off once again.They were now halfway up Cloud Puff Mountain. After walking a distance, they would arrive at the entrance of the secret realm. The leaders of the three teams led their respective groups forward.Adrian walke
"Don't panic. If you panic in this place, you'll die," Sion said. He then showed everyone how to move in such an environment.After the initial panic, the others calmed down. As for Adrian, he was slightly uncomfortable when he first entered, but that lasted only for a few seconds. While Sion was teaching the others, Adrian was observing their surroundings.There was a pillar carved with a dragon near them. Adrian stared at it for several minutes. Besides the pillar, there were various dragon elements scattered on the palaces."Is this a gathering place for dragons?" he murmured.Adrian couldn't believe it. However, the scale of the dragon elements on the palace ruins and their larger-than-normal size made him feel that they must have arrived at a dragon’s ground."What's inside the palaces?" Adrian asked. Sion looked at everyone, who was looking back at him in curiosity. "Treasures, if you're lucky,” he answered."What if you're unlucky?" Adrian smiled. "You’ll encounter mon
The mirror was only the size of an adult's palm. When the bearded man held it in his hand, it looked even smaller. As Adrian studied the mirror, he was surprised. What was reflected in the mirror was not the bearded man's face, but a picturesque scene of mountains and rivers. And the surprising thing was that the picture was moving. It was like the cameras Adrian had seen on Earth, transmitting distant scenes to screens around the world. The image showed a picturesque landscape. Birds occasionally flew across the scene, and the camera seemed to be floating in the air. However, the more detailed things couldn't be seen."This item’s a little strange, and I don't know what it's for. Should we keep it?" The bearded man looked at Adrian and Sion. Sion glanced at Adrian, then at the mirror, nodding and saying, "It's best to take everything we can." But Adrian said, "I suggest you put down that mirror." "Why?" Adrian's facial muscles twitched slightly. He saw that within the mir
This wasn't the first time Adrian had encountered such a situation. This guy's situation was, in fact, similar to Thalia’s. Back then, Thalia too was manipulated by the Dark Dragon, and Adrian had used various methods to suppress the Dark Dragon. The mountain falcon within the bearded man’s body was nowhere near as powerful as a dragon, and under the terrifying pressure of the Abyssal Bloodstorm, its soul collapsed and left the man's body. When the bearded man woke up, he let out a miserable cry, clutching his injured arm. Adrian picked up the man’s arm from the ground and aligned it with the man’s sliced arm. He pressed the tip of his sword to the man’s wound, infusing energy into it to repair the arm."You can't even heal your wounds. No wonder only a few of you can leave this place alive every year," Adrian said coldly. The bearded man, seeing his arm restored, looked ashamed. The others were still shaken. When unexpected situations occurred, they panicked and lost all abilit
Before they entered the second palace, Adrian sensed the presence of others inside it. But upon careful observation, he confirmed that the other teams were rushing toward this palace and had not entered yet.Sion had told Adrian that while in the secret realm, the three teams would avoid running into each other if they could. This place was too dangerous, and no one wanted to risk a confrontation that could lead to disaster. "There are people on their way here. Can you sense them?" Adrian asked softly as he stepped into the palace.Sion nodded. "Don't worry, we got here first. They’ll probably leave and go elsewhere." He then led everyone in to start the search.Adrian was a little lacking in enthusiasm. He had hoped to find some useful items here, but the first palace had left him disappointed. Most of the things in this secret realm were useless to him. Some things, like swords, might be useful to him, but he already had the Divine Frost Slayer Blade and Hellblade. Other items w
The blood-red figure in front still stood in place, but the thousands of threads spewing from his mouth turned into the most terrifying tentacles in the world. The Mudstone team was now enveloped in them. It seemed they were about to be stripped of their flesh and meet the same fate as their companion.Adrian smirked, his gaze sweeping indifferently. This was dangerous, but that was for everyone else. He could easily cut through all the filth in the world with a single sword stroke. He was never in any danger."Blade Tempest!" he shouted.The Divine Frost Slayer Blade unleashed a golden sword essence that surged through the air.Although the silver threads the monster spewed were unparalleled in sharpness, they weren’t very strong. The sword essence from the Divine Frost Slayer Blade instantly cut them to shreds. "Aaagh!" the blood-soaked monster let out a roar.It was unknown how these threads had come to be inside its body. However, it was clear the extreme pain it was in afte
The number of treasures the Mudstone team had abandoned because they possibly carried strange souls numbered more than twenty. If not for Adrian, the death toll among the thirty people would already be more than half their group by now. Now that Adrian was around, he could help them distinguish which treasures had souls attached to them and which ones didn't, hence the big difference.Suddenly, a shout came from the outskirts of the palace. "How dare you kill one of ours!”Adrian and the others turned to see a group of more than twenty people standing at the entrance, glaring at them menacingly. At the forefront was an elegant young man dressed in dazzling white clothes. Beside him was a beautiful woman, Emma, and behind them was the Emberfallen team."It’s not what you think." Sion frowned.Normally, the other teams would not enter a palace that was already occupied. But the Emberfallen team had broken the rules and even accused them of killing one of their own. The reality was
