"Cough cough, it's nothing, I was just doing what I was supposed to do."
Li Yu nodded, his expression turning serious.
"It's good that you have this awareness and courage. This World Youth Championship is different from the past. It has been changed from a ring competition to a chaotic battle in a secret realm."
Be prepared, everyone in the secret realm is your enemy! Including... other contestants from the Huawu Kingdom!
Qin Xiao had some expectations, but was it really this cruel?
"Brother Li Yu, isn't this... a bit inappropriate? After all, we're compatriots?"
He's not being a saint; frankly, he's worried about being held accountable after the competition.
Li Yu shook his head. "This secret realm competition is being pushed forward by other forces, but we don't know who they are."
However, it is certain that many of the other participants have other plans, so don't hesitate to hold back.
Go for it! Kill everyone, reach the top! We'll cover all the consequences!
Hearing the coldness in the other person's tone, Qin Xiao's expression also turned solemn. "I understand. I will do my best."
Li Yu's expression relaxed. "Well, we still need to act according to our capabilities. If it's really impossible, we should prioritize our own safety."
Qin Xiao asked again, "Brother Li Yu, since we know there's a problem with this competition, can't we change the venue?"
Li Yu took a sip of tea and shook his head. "There's nothing we can do. This time, some people within the company are observing or even supporting the idea."
There must be benefits and interests involved that we are unaware of, or even infiltration by evil cults; it's all very complicated.
Moreover, Japan's attitude was very tough, and due to the international situation, it was not easy to force a change, so they had no choice but to join in.
You wouldn't believe it, Japan, this little country, has been like this for centuries, always gambling with its national destiny and taking risks.
It's obvious that a bunch of idiots always like to shout "Ironclad!" Since the other side is going to play this game, let's just have some fun in this circle and have a proper fight.
It's better to expose problems than to keep them hidden forever; after all, we're going to have to make a show of it eventually.
"During this competition, except in the secret realm, you will stay at the Neon Spirit Association branch. Don't wander off."
Qin Xiao thought to himself, "I know, I know it all too well, that's just how this scoundrel is."
However, he no longer cared. Now he was a pawn that had crossed the river, with no way to retreat, so he could only remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
Moreover, he was confident that he would crush everyone in the Secret Realm competition.
After chatting for a while, Li Yu brought up the third matter.
"As you know, my girlfriend got some power in that incident last time."
Qin Xiao nodded. "I think it was something like parasitic authority, right?"
"Yes, this thing's power is not easy to control and refine, so I simply let her cultivate by parasitizing me."
However, she always parasitizes me, messing around with all sorts of strange functions, insisting on creating some kind of win-win parasitism.
There's been a bit of a problem lately. I poured too much of my divine power into her, and she can't handle it. I was thinking, doesn't your tree absorb that power?
Qin Xiao looked puzzled. This sounded so strange. Was this some kind of dual cultivation or a win-win parasitic relationship?
After carefully considering his words, Qin Xiao spoke.
"Hey bro, can't you suck it back in?"
Li Yu shook his head. "It can't be absorbed. Divine power has distinct properties. She absorbed and transformed it by parasitizing her authority."
Now it's all mixed up and impure, she doesn't have enough control over it, and I can no longer manipulate the divine power of change, which is a bit troublesome.
Although there are other ways, it would require asking others for help, and it's not appropriate to publicize this matter.
Qin Xiao understood. To put it bluntly, the divine power was currently in a mixed state, and Ye Wanwan's level was not high enough to support it, nor could he control it.
Asking for help from others might not only risk revealing information about Ye Wanwan's impending promotion, but it could also lead to her being targeted and set up, which would be troublesome.
However, a problem arises: he can't use the Jianmu tree now.
Although we can still communicate, and the other party can transfer some items through the demon realm space, there's no spare capacity for other functions.
"Ahem, well, big brother, I'm really sorry, my beast has evolved again and is currently in a dormant state, so I can't use it."
Li Yu was taken aback when he heard this.
"evolution?"
Qin Xiao nodded. "Yes, it absorbed the divine power and some energy from that time, and it has evolved again, but it's not finished yet."
Li Yu was caught off guard, but he didn't show much emotional fluctuation.
"That's unfortunate. How much longer will it take to complete the evolution? Will it affect the competition?"
Qin Xiao felt the other person's concern and smiled as he spoke.
"Don't worry, big brother. I feel it's coming soon. It should be around this time, maybe even during the competition."
"I'll come again after this competition, and then I'll help you guys solve the problem."
The competition is supposed to last for a month. We've communicated with Jianmu, and the progress is estimated to be about right, so it might not take that long.
"That's alright. Your tree is very strong; it can be considered a trump card. It's safer to use it, so you need to be careful."
"I'm not in a rush. I won't die anytime soon, but my cultivation progress has slowed down. I'll take it one step at a time."
Qin Xiao was speechless. This person was good in every way, but when it came to things like death, he really didn't take it seriously.
The same thing happened in the Zerg Secret Realm last time; even though he was about to die, he acted like he didn't care at all.
Although it's uncertain whether they can truly be discharged at their level, it's still a huge trauma.
Perhaps living a long life allows one to see things more clearly, or perhaps being at the level of a god gives one a new understanding of death?
Qin Xiao's thoughts were seen through by the other party once again.
Li Yu smiled and said, "Everyone's had enough of this. In my life, I've come from humble beginnings, and I've seen everything along the way, from mountains of corpses to seas of blood."
Besides, it doesn't matter if we die. We'll just return to the body of the national spirit and continue to shine and generate heat. Maybe that'll be easier for us."
Hey, new information!
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask, but Li Yu raised her hand to stop him.
"You forgot what I told you? Some information is important, and you shouldn't ask about things you shouldn't. I'll tell you what you need to know."
Qin Xiao smacked his lips, speechless.
They chatted for a while longer and drank several pots of tea, so full that their spiritual energy was almost overflowing.
Seeing that things had progressed sufficiently, Qin Xiao also took his leave.
Li Yu didn't try to stop him. "Go ahead, do a good job, and come back to see me after the World Youth Championships."
Qin Xiao nodded, and before leaving, he said something hesitantly.
"Hey bro, how much is this thing...?"
He was holding a box containing items that could enhance his talent skills.
Li Yu waved his hand impatiently, "Get lost, get lost, I have enough tea for these few pots, hurry back."
As they were talking, the portal opened, and Qin Xiao stepped into it with a strange feeling.
In the pavilion on the edge of the cliff, a mountain breeze blew from somewhere, causing Li Yu's hair to flutter.
A strange head emerged from his shoulder; it was Ye Wanwan's face.
"Li Yu, this is a bit strange. Can he really handle it?"
Li Yu put down his teacup and said gently, "We can hold on. This kid is much fiercer than I was when I was young. As long as we old guys can hold on, he'll just kill everyone."
"You really think highly of him. The dignified Prince Sikong is hundreds of years old and still calls people brothers."
"This is hope!"
Li Yu sighed and said softly.
The older generation is like burnt-out fuel; they explored and took too many detours in their youth.
Although the ignition lit up the path of hope for humanity, the heavy burden on humanity bent their backs.
The hope of ascending to godhood is pitifully small.
