I slept without any dreams.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Lu Yuan stretched and walked out of the tent, feeling refreshed.

Thanks to the cover of the formation, all auras have been reduced to a minimum, and the surrounding demonic beasts have no idea that a human is fast asleep in such an open area.

Lu Yuan slept very soundly.

"This formation is truly excellent; it's practically an essential tool for venturing out to conquer and explore secret realms!"

Humming a little tune contentedly, Lu Yuan was about to start making breakfast when he turned around and saw Luo Yueyi walking out of the tent with huge dark circles under her eyes.

"morning……"

"Good morning..."

Lu Yuan was startled by Luo Yueyi's weak appearance. It was so early in the morning, he thought he had seen a ghost!

"What's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Lu Yuan carefully chose his words before tentatively asking.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Luo Yueyi gave him a very resentful look, as if he had done something wrong.

"..."

Lu Yuan was completely baffled.

He slept soundly in the tent all night yesterday, and didn't do anything he shouldn't have!

Looking at his expression of complete ignorance, Ke Luo Yueyi felt even more resentful.

How does this guy manage to sleep so soundly in the secret realm?!

Last night, she was worried that monsters might launch an attack in the dead of night, so even though she was lying in the tent, she basically didn't close her eyes, constantly on alert for any movement outside the tent, and would sit up with a start at the slightest sound.

This went on for the entire night!

This has resulted in her suffering from severe sleep deprivation, turning her into a veritable giant panda!

On the other hand, what about Lu Yuan?

She slept like a log; she could even hear Lu Yuan's faint snoring coming from inside the tent.

Does this guy even take this secret realm exam seriously?!

Even if you don't care about exam rankings, you should at least have a basic sense of crisis when you're in a secret realm!

Seriously!

If she weren't certain she was taking a secret realm exam, she would have thought she was on a camping trip with Lu Yuan!

"Well! Anyway, let's have some breakfast first!"

Lu Yuan handed Luo Yueyi a steaming bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, deciding to stop dwelling on what had happened the night before.

Luo Yueyi gave Lu Yuan a deep look, took the porridge from his hand, and gently thanked him.

"Thanks."

Only after the two of them had eaten and drunk their fill did Lu Yuan slowly pack up the tent and other things.

Looking at the things that had vanished into thin air, Luo Yueyi lowered her head and remained silent.

Normally, a Beast Tamer's space is large enough to accommodate inanimate objects other than the beasts they tame. However, at their current level, the space is not large enough and can only meet the minimum requirements for taming beasts. They cannot have extra space to store other things like Lu Yuan does.

"Just what is this guy's Beastmaster level?"

Luo Yueyi silently complained in her heart.

The size of the space is like this, and so is the venomous python that chased her before. It's something that no beast tamer of the same level could do!

"Alright, everything's ready!"

Lu Yuan dusted off his hands, slung the half-empty backpack over his shoulder, and then turned to look at Luo Yueyi.

What are your plans next?

Luo Yueyi fidgeted with her fingers, and said somewhat guiltily, "Could I come with you? The secret realm is so vast, the two of us could keep each other company, and it would be easier to gain points..."

Luo Yueyi's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

Actually, she understood.

Given Lu Yuan's strength, the monsters in the Fire Forest Secret Realm pose no threat to him whatsoever. If the two of them were to travel together, it would be easier for him to become a burden to Lu Yuan.

However, the venomous python caused her a lot of psychological stress.

If she encounters another demonic beast of the Earth Spirit level, she might not even have a chance to escape.

Seeing Luo Yueyi's anxious expression, Lu Yuan suddenly chuckled.

"Sure! I'm pretty bored by myself anyway, let's go together!"

Luo Yueyi could hardly believe her ears.

"You agreed?!"

"What's wrong with that?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"I...I thought you'd think I was a burden!" Luo Yueyi poked her cheek a little shyly and gave an awkward laugh.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Yuan chuckled and patted her head, offering no further explanation. "Let's go, let's get going!"

After saying that.

Lu Yuan, carrying a backpack, took the lead and walked ahead.

Luo Yueyi watched his retreating figure, raised her hand to touch the spot on her head where he had just patted her, her face slightly flushed, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

...

The two journeyed together deeper into the Fire Forest Secret Realm.

Along the way.

Luo Yueyi followed behind Lu Yuan like a pendant, her face filled with nothing but shock.

no!

Just what level has this guy reached in beast taming?!

She didn't need to lift a finger to deal with the monsters she encountered on the road, or even tame them; Lu Yuan dealt with them all by himself with his sword!

Unless there is a significant difference in strength levels, humans simply cannot accomplish these things with their own abilities!

As an outstanding student representative who entered Longteng Academy with the highest score in the entrance exam, Luo Yueyi began to question her own abilities for the first time.

We are both new students.

Why is there such a big difference?!

However.

What she didn't know was...

Lu Yuan relied not only on the difference in strength level, but more importantly on the experience and techniques he had learned in battle.

With just these Xuanzhen-level demonic beasts, Chi Lin could handle them on his own without Chi Lin even needing to intervene, and he could also add a few more runes to the Thousand-Patterned Blade.

Just as Luo Yueyi watched in shock as Lu Yuan easily killed another Xuanzhen level 5 demon beast, Lu Yuan, who was walking in front, suddenly spoke up.

"The area ahead should be the deepest part of the secret realm."
