Chapter 310: Chapter 202 Number 1 and Number 2
In the Flying Immortal Academy, the lake shimmered with light, and the banks were lined with weeping willows, as if surrounded by a green mist.
Despite the bustling crowd and the presence of many famous disciples, Qin Ming and Xiao Wu suspected whether they would be able to "team up" with anyone.
Xiao Wu squeezed into the crowd, approaching a bright young girl surrounded by people, and said, "Goddess Jiang, I’ve finally waited for you."
The bright young girl came from Bodhi Academy, which has an Esoteric Buddhism background. Her name was Jiang Ruoli, and she was quite famous, with this group under her leadership. She looked surprised and said, "Excuse me, you are..."
Xiao Wu immediately put on a bright smile and said, "Me, Wu Yaizu, one of the best fighters on this year’s Newborn Road. My brother and I want to join your team."
In an instant, Jiang Ruoli understood. This was not an acquaintance; he was introducing himself, wanting to follow them into the Secret Realm.
She smiled and said, "I’m sorry, Brother Wu, we’re full here. Please try elsewhere."
"Alright, Bodhi No. 2." Xiao Wu didn’t hesitate, turned around, and immediately rushed to the next target.
"What does that mean?" Jiang Ruoli and her group were puzzled.
Then they saw Xiao Wu squeeze into the Heavenly Eagle temple and once again displayed a big smile, saying, "Brother Gan Jincheng, I’ve long admired you and have been looking for you..."
Soon, he was refused again, muttering, "Goodbye, Heavenly Eagle No. 1!"
"Fairy Lin Qianyi, graceful and transcendent, indeed a leader among our generation, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time..." Xiao Wu came again to the genius disciples of Yuhua Temple.
Lin Qianyi, dressed in silver armor, was suspicious. She didn’t know this person, and after understanding his intention, she also declined politely.
"Alright, Second Yuhua, goodbye." Xiao Wu turned and left.
Jiang Ruoli and the others gradually understood. When this guy greeted others, he was extremely enthusiastic, adding titles like goddess, brother, fairy, etc. Once refused, he would discard the names, changing brother to number one and fairies and goddesses to number two, with prefixes of the academy or temple they belonged to.
"This really is... realistic!"
"Hey, Bodhi No. 2 is watching me, did she change her mind?" Xiao Wu said to Qin Ming, noticing Jiang Ruoli looking this way.
Jiang Ruoli’s expression turned slightly stiff; her hearing was very keen, and indeed she guessed correctly. She had already been demoted from Goddess Jiang to Bodhi No. 2.
"Keep your voice down," Qin Ming reminded.
After all, there were more than a dozen well-known academies and temples here, and there were quite a few genius disciples. After being refused, Xiao Wu didn’t bother to remember their detailed names.
"Brother Wang Lijie, demeanor like jade..."
"Alright, Longxiang No. 1!"
Gradually, some people noticed there were two young men here who kept hitting walls everywhere, with no team wanting them. They also realized they were giving people code names.
"Your two friends are hitting walls everywhere." Zhao Muyao, dressed in snow-white, chuckled and glanced at Ling Yu.
As soon as she said this, the main character came over. Xiao Wu didn’t know that this woman from Chunyang Academy had already politely refused Ling Yu’s recommendation.
"Fairy Zhao, peerless elegance..." Xiao Wu was full of sincerity, first complimenting her and then expressing his desire to join the team.
"Sorry, we don’t need any more people." Zhao Muyao shook her head slightly.
"Goodbye, Second Pure Yang!" Xiao Wu left without hesitation, not waiting for her to finish, and left behind only his back.
Zhao Muyao was stunned, her expression frozen!
Soon, Xiao Wu also awarded the famous disciple Xiao Yaqin with the title of second Bi jie from the Bi jie arena.
"Xin Youdao, what’s your friend mean by this?" Xiao Yaqin inquired.
"Oh, I was lost in thought, didn’t hear anything."
...
Qin Ming thought Xiao Wu could graduate already. In his state, he didn’t need anyone to accompany him, striking everywhere without feeling embarrassed at all.
However, it was still very hard for the two of them to find someone to team up with.
Soon, they discovered a special Newcomer, who instantly attracted everyone’s attention upon arriving, because he was too unique: large hands like palm-leaf fans, a face as big as a basin, and legs thick as pillars.
Qin Ming recognized him. This was Xiang Yiwu, known at the Luo Fu Immortal Mountain Ruins as the Abandoned Disciple of Tathagata.
Xiang Yiwu’s unique physique could hardly conceal his identity. One person was as wide as two, with coarse, stiff black hair as hard as steel needles.
Before long, some teams started vying for him, as they knew who he was—a top expert among peers.
Xiao Wu was disgruntled. Why was the difference between people so big? No one paid attention to them despite their eagerness to join, but they were always refused.
Now, a big and sturdy guy was so popular!
"He’s one of us!" Qin Ming secretly informed.
"Then forget it."
However, the Abandoned Disciple of Tathagata couldn’t stay here.
A senior figure came and took him away, saying he wasn’t a disciple of any Kunleng academy and was to be sent to the Esoteric Buddhism, Outer World side to join that group, entering from a different entrance.
There were similar people, like Lu Zhen from Yin Yang Temple, who could contend with Tang Xumi at Luofu Mountain, helping Li Qingxu almost acquire a Close to Immortal Item, but he also was quickly asked to leave.
Qin Ming was amazed. Were the formidable figures on this Newborn Road going to appear one after another?
Soon after, he had to face a harsh reality: neither he nor Xiao Wu had been able to join any team. Neither the previously renowned geniuses nor the new disciples from this year wanted them.
This was because these teams had privately finalized their members in advance.
Even Liu Hanyi, a celebrity from Shanhai Academy, didn’t choose the two of them.
"Senior sister, we’re on the same side!" Xiao Wu said.
"But, I’m indeed full over here," Liu Hanyi said awkwardly.
Thus, Shanhai River No.2 was finalized.
Upon understanding the meaning, Liu Hanyi glared at the two of them.
Qin Ming and Xiao Wu learned that this time the Secret Realm was worth exploring, with plenty of good things to find.
Someone well-informed revealed a secret, saying, "It’s said that this time, it’s not entering the old Secret Realm, but a newly conquered territory, belonging to the secret realm ruled by the auspicious beast on the Highland!"
Currently, the older generation is starting to clean up that Highland.
Qin Ming and Xiao Wu couldn’t help but sigh. The Newcomers were struggling so badly that they needed to establish relationships in advance to be hired or work alongside others. Now, when they arrived at the scene as unnoticed individuals, there was simply no way to join in!
In the end, the two pondered that they should find a way to form their own team.
"Senior, I walk two paths side by side, also belong to those on the Immortal Road, and can set up my own team!" Xiao Wu told someone.
He transformed the Rainbow Light within him into the Consciousness Spiritual Light, and the middle-aged man saw no anomaly, mainly because it was impossible for the young man in front of him to be displaying a skill from the Newborn Road.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of teams led by the No.1 and No.2 of various academies, only the small team formed by the two had the least number of members and could be considered "simplistic."
Young Xiao Wu asserted, "Everyone, should you encounter Demon Monsters, or face any danger, or if there’s fierce competition requiring our intervention, likely you won’t be able to afford the price!"
Except for Xin Youdao and Ling Yu, everyone laughed.
"Wang Lijie from Longxiang Temple, looking forward to the two junior brothers dazzling in the Secret Realm!"
"Lin Qianyi from Yuhua Temple, wishing the two junior brothers’ brilliance spread everywhere, keeping a close watch indeed."
Some couldn’t help but tease, feeling the two youngsters were overestimating themselves. Their team’s bold claims amused many.
Jiang Ruoli, Gan Jincheng, Su Junlin, and others were also chuckling, murmuring softly.
"Your friends are unreliable!" Zhao Muyao, dressed in snow-white, said to Ling Yu.
Ling Yu wanted to retort; they were indeed reliable. If not warned, he would have directly teamed up with those two.
Xiao Yaqin glanced at Xin Youdao, slightly shook her head, and said, "I feel you’re acquainted with two people who might make a joke of themselves in the Secret Realm."
"I think what they said isn’t an exaggeration," Xin Youdao sighed, regretful that he couldn’t join them.
Xiao Wu was displeased, saying, "Even Liu Hanyi from the same Shanhai Academy is laughing at us, that’s too much."
Qin Ming was distracted, not caring about those things.
He thought of familiar faces, wondering if he could see Li Qingyue in the Secret Realm, and if old friend Ning Siqi from Esoteric Buddhism had come.
As for Li Qingxu, Wang Caiwei, Cui Chonghe, and others, their faces flashed through his mind.
"Tang Xumi, Hu Tingwen, you still owe me a Divine Ape Strength Technique!"
Immediately, Qin Ming’s expression turned serious. If everyone entered the same Secret Realm, the competitive pressure would be immense, and he wondered how arrangements would proceed.
After all, he had encountered seven people aboard the Vermilion Bird, such as Su Shiyun, Zhao Yaoting, all being Close to Immortal Seeds and Divine Seeds, each more formidable than the last.
Wu Yaizu nudged his arm, saying, "Bro, you didn’t hear what I said, this group is laughing at us."
"Got distracted," Qin Ming smiled, saying, "It’s nothing, we’ll see who prevails in the end. Since we have a team now, we should head back."
"You’re destined to be solitary your whole life, what’s distracting you, could it be someone you know entering that Secret Realm?"
"If you don’t know how to speak, just shut up."
In the following days, Qin Ming not only practiced the "Dragon and Snake Scripture" but also began to study the "Immortal Butterfly Scripture," constantly comprehending its essence.
Obviously, Yu Gen Sheng and Zhao Ziyan couldn’t resist "feeding" him because they feared he might become worthless. In reality, they didn’t fulfill that, otherwise, they wouldn’t directly send him the second Miracle Technique.
Moreover, by letting him enter the Secret Realm this time, they were helping him arrange opportunities.
Five days later, Qin Ming and Xiao Wu set off, still met a large group led by the No.1 and No.2 of various academies at the neighboring Flying Immortal Academy.
Everyone boarded a massive spaceship, heading to the Secret Realm on the Highland.
Instantly, Qin Ming felt a chill down his spine. He had fallen from a bird, landing in the Big Centipede’s Divine City, and had fallen from a ship too. Although he survived each time, he was indeed traumatized.
Several hundred miles were not far. They arrived at the destination by spaceship, landing on the Highland.
Qin Ming breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, this time he didn’t "fall"!
"Is this the Secret Realm?" Many were astounded, finding it unbelievable.
Ahead, there was a peculiar territory without tall trees or large vines, like being covered in moss, contrasting sharply with the surrounding environment.
"Watch closely," the elder leading them spoke, suddenly stepping forward.
Many were shocked as they saw him rapidly shrink, becoming as tiny as a sesame seed, entering the unique area ahead.
Though it seemed like a small territory, it possessed such divine power.
Many crouched down to observe closely, even able to see the elder’s diminutive figure, akin to an ant.
"Is this the Secret Realm?"
"Do you know how it was formed?" The elder walked out, returning to his original size.
He explained that it was a star fragment, possessing extraordinary properties and extraordinary power. Standing on it equated to standing on a star.
Immediately, everyone queued up, stepping forward from the same spot, soon standing on the star, and gazing at the scenery on this star, feeling quite awed.
Today I’ve been feeling out of sorts; it’s been tough. I’ll take a day off for one Chapter and continue striving tomorrow.
