Perhaps only a few minutes passed for Xu Feng and Shui Sheng in the real world, but they actually spent seven days in the secret realm of advancement. During these seven days, they could hardly get a good night's sleep. As a human being, the pressure in the end times is enough to make a person collapse.

After successfully advancing this time, he returned to the real world and heard from Lin Dao that only two people had advanced this time. He felt even more proud. After seeing that Xu Feng was fine, he and Lin Dao couldn't help feeling tired.

Xu Feng and Shui Sheng both went to rest, but the apostle circle in Yanjing City was in an uproar. In the apostle forum, the apostles who had failed to advance but had managed to survive, all complained on the forum.

“Meat Grinder, I actually encountered the secret realm of the Meat Grinder. Although I didn’t succeed in the promotion this time, I survived. Hahahaha, I’m so lucky!”

"Only two people advanced this time. I really want to know who the two big guys who advanced this time are!"

"This secret realm is poisonous. There is something wrong with the last space transmission node. I didn't see the two big guys at all. This means that the space node in Alfak City may be fake!"

"Fuck, I originally thought it was a pity, we were just one step away, but now after hearing what the above person said, it suddenly became clear, this alien creature is too cunning!"

"If that's true, then I admire those two bosses even more. How did they find the real space transmission node?"

…

After learning that the secret realm for advancement this time was the Flesh Grinder, many secret realm apostles who were almost at the peak of level one began to gloat over it. The chance of the Flesh Grinder advancement secret realm appearing continuously was extremely small, and since it had already appeared once, then the next advancement would definitely be a sure thing.

These apostles who were preparing for promotion began to thank the apostles who were being promoted on the forum.

On the other side, in a teaching building of Yanjing Secret University, a professor wearing glasses was working at his desk, reviewing information files collected from all over the country.

"Within three months, Xijing City had two special promotion secret realms. One time, only one person survived, and the other time, the entire army was wiped out!"

"...A special secret realm of advancement appeared in Songtao City, and two people successfully advanced..."

"...There have been three special secret realms of advancement in Sumao City, and only one person succeeded in advancing in each of those three times..."

"This is the fourth time that a special promotion secret realm has appeared in Yanjing City. In the first three times, only five people succeeded in advancing. This time, only two succeeded in advancing. However, they were lucky. Even though they failed to advance, seventeen people survived..."

"Starting from December, the probability of appearing in a special secret realm of advancement is slowly increasing!" The professor sighed, took off his glasses, frowned and rubbed his eyebrows hard, a look of fatigue appearing on his face.

The frequent appearance of special promotion secret realms will definitely suppress the number of apostles applying for promotion. Because the higher the level of the secret realm, the greater the danger. Now there is a trend of public opinion that "low-level apostles are safe".

However, as the frequency of special secret realms increases, the number of secret realms across the country and even the world is also slowly increasing. Now some small countries can no longer bear too many secret realms and have begun to request support from the United Nations. It can be predicted that in the near future, if the theory of low-level apostles' safety prevails, the number of high-level apostles will definitely decrease greatly. However, the frequency of high-level secret realms will not decrease as a result...

Thinking of this, the professor suddenly became worried and couldn't help but sigh heavily.

…

After Xu Feng became a second-level apostle, he rested for a few days. After he fully recovered, he was ready to leave Yanjing and return to Songtao City! Just as Xu Feng packed up and was about to leave, he suddenly received a call from his father.

"Xiaofeng, you haven't left yet?" Xu Nantian's voice came from the phone.

"My flight is at 2pm. I'm getting ready to go to the airport now!" Xu Feng looked at his watch. It was already half past eleven.

"The flight was cancelled." Xu Nantian said, "I have scheduled a Level 2 Apostle Assessment for you. You can do it at the headquarters at the same time, so you don't have to go back and forth!"

"In addition, we have applied for a few spiritual equipment. You can also take them back so that we don't have to send anyone else." Xu Nantian said casually: "Okay, that's all. You can go directly to the headquarters this afternoon, and you can come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!"

After Xu Nantian finished his explanation, he hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Feng to speak.

…

In the afternoon, Xu Feng came to the headquarters of the City Defense Office. Xu Feng had been here once before, also because of the first-level review. In the City Defense Office, the review of the apostle level is very strict. In addition to sending reviewers, the promoted secret realm apostles are also required to come to the headquarters for another review.

Soon, Xu Feng came to the audit department. After filling out the audit form, Xu Feng waited quietly. There were many people coming for the audit today, but most of them were low-level apostles, ranging from level one to level three.

Soon, Xu Feng's name was called in the review room.

Xu Feng stood up and walked towards the review room. When he entered the review room, there were already three reviewers inside. After looking at Xu Feng's information, the three reviewers showed surprise on their faces. They looked up at Xu Feng, then lowered their heads to carefully check the information.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"You just passed the first-level review a week ago? You applied for the second-level review so soon?" one of the reviewers couldn't help but ask.

"In fact, I have already reached the peak of level one. I came to Yanjing to participate in the level one promotion secret realm..." Xu Feng explained: "I came here to take the level one review before, and I just passed the level one promotion secret realm. Now I am a level two apostle!"

Although Xu Feng's situation is rare, it does exist. When branch staff come to the headquarters for audits, they always come for other matters. Just as Xu Feng said, the audit is just a side job.

"Alright, now unleash your most powerful attack on me!" A middle-aged man in black armor said with a smile, "As long as your attack power can reach the requirements of a Level 2 Apostle, you will be considered approved!"

"This is Liu Ming, Captain Liu, a Level 4 Apostle!" An auditor nearby reminded, "It's best to use your most powerful attack skill. Captain Liu is an air control master and has practiced body building techniques. Even a full-strength attack from a Level 2 peak Apostle won't hurt him at all!"

"Air Master?" Xu Feng raised his eyebrows. This is an initial profession rated A+. After it has grown up, it is not much worse than an S-level profession.

An Air Control Master cultivates a breath of air, which can spread the energy around the entire body. If one wants to harm an Air Control Master, one must break through the layer of energy around him. As the level and strength of the Air Control Master increase, the energy around him will become stronger and stronger. For an intermediate-level Air Control Master, the energy defense around his body is not much worse than that of a spiritual-level or even magic-level defensive equipment!

Thinking of this, Xu Feng couldn't help but take a deep breath. Without taking out the paper talisman, he began to draw talismans in the air and cast a fourth-level soul fire talisman to attack Liu Ming.
