In the secret realm, Yun Zheng opened her blood-red eyes and glanced around, and found that the so-called "collapse of the secret realm" was just shrouded by an invisible array force, causing visual confusion for the geniuses.
Seeing this, Fan Yuer thought to herself that something was wrong, then turned to look at Yun Zheng.
"Friend Yun, let's go quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng calmly looked ahead at the two polarized forests in the distance. To the left was the snow-white Ice Mist Forest, to the right was the fiery red Flame Forest. Above it all appeared a faint formation seal.
If she didn't have pupils, she would probably have found it difficult to notice this abnormality.
"Okay, let's go."
Yun Zheng said without hesitation that since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. She also wanted to see what would happen in the last three days of the assessment in the secret realm.
They all headed quickly towards the double forests.
During this time, Nangong Qingqing asked Yun Zheng via voice transmission, "Zheng Zheng, have you noticed anything wrong? Is this secret realm really about to collapse?"
Yun Zheng answered seriously: "It's because of the formation. What we see now is an illusion."
Although Nangong Qingqing had already suspected this, she was still a little surprised to hear this. What kind of dangers were hidden in the two layers of forest ahead?
The illusion of the secret realm collapsing became more and more intense, and the ground was shaking terribly.
There were endless screams coming from behind.
"Ahhh, run!"
"Brother Zhu, wait for me! Please don't abandon me!"
Yun Zheng saw many familiar faces heading towards the double forest, including Huangfu Xiangyao, Rong Ming, Yuchi Bai, You Fuyue, and others.
Soon, Yun Zheng and his group arrived outside the two forests.
Fan Yu'er took a deep breath and said solemnly, "We went to the side of the flames before, but soon we got trapped in a formation. To save people, shouldn't we go to the right first?"
"Then let's go to the right first." Yun Zheng nodded and looked at her friends. "The temperature on the right is very high. Let's use the protective spirit shield to block it first."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xinglan and the others immediately mobilized their spiritual power and condensed a protective spiritual shield.
At this time, Zhongli Wuyuan raised his left hand and took Nangong Qingqing's hand, then he sketched a spell in the air with one hand. In a moment, he formed a defensive formation that covered Nangong Qingqing.
Mu Yin happened to catch a glimpse of this scene from the corner of his eye, and pretended to be disappointed and said: "Brother Yuan, you are partial to me, and only give special treatment to the beautiful Qingqing!"
Feng Xinglan and the others heard the noise and looked over. Their eyes fell on Zhongli Wuyuan and Nangong Qingqing with a slightly teasing look.
Nangong Qingqing looked a little uncomfortable, and her cold and delicate face had a hint of pink.
Zhongli Wuyuan held Nangong Qingqing's hand tighter. He looked at Mu Yin calmly, smiled slightly and said, "Come, Brother Yuan will give you some special treatment."
Mu Yin knew Brother Yuan's temper very well, and immediately shook his head in timidation.
"No, no, Brother Yuan. I'm a real man, I wouldn't be afraid even if my skin was burned off. But Qingqing is an ice element, which is incompatible with this flaming forest, so her ability to withstand it is naturally a little lower than ours. So Brother Yuan, you must protect Qingqing well!"
Seeing this, Yun Zheng smiled and said, "When we get to the Ice Mist Forest, don't beg the beautiful Qingqing to protect you."
Yu Qiu slowly replied, "Ayin, beautiful Qingqing is better than you."
Mu Yin: “…”
After a brief episode, they all decisively walked towards the Flame Forest.
More and more Tianjiao arrived at the Second Forest, and they saw the Fengyun Eight and Fan Yu'er enter the Flame Forest. Seeing this, some Tianjiao, because they had a deep psychological trauma towards the Fengyun Eight, chose a completely different path and headed towards the Ice Mist Forest.
Yuchi Bai's eyes flashed slightly, and he led the disciples of the Yuchi family towards the Flame Forest.
In a short while, the secret realm had collapsed to the surroundings of the two forests. In the eyes of the geniuses, only the two forests remained in the entire assessment secret realm. If you took even a single step outside of the two forests, it would be like falling into a black abyss, which was too terrifying.
Many Tianjiao stood at the border of the two forests, analyzing with puzzled expressions:
"Isn't this the secret realm assessment? Why did the secret realm... collapse?!"
"Wait, there are only three days left in the Genius Competition! Are we supposed to have a big fight to win the token?"
"Possibly! Who has the most tokens now? I'm curious, has anyone collected all ten colors of tokens?"
"I heard that the gold token, white token, and black token are all on the Fengyun team in the sky! I also heard that many geniuses were robbed by them, so they must have a lot of tokens on them!"
Sudden--
The faces of the Tianjiao changed in shock. They looked at the lines of words displayed above each other's heads in astonishment.
"You...you have..."
“Token count and ranking count!”
All the geniuses looked at each other and saw several lines of big words above each other's heads.
One of the prodigies suddenly changed his expression, pointing at another young prodigy and cursing, "Brother Zhu! You actually lied to me! Didn't you say you only had a little over twenty tokens? Why does it show above your head that you have forty-five tokens, a total of seven hundred and ten points, and a ranking of four hundred and fifty-first?!"
Brother Zhu's eyes flickered a few times, "Brother Yang, I have no choice but to do this..."
Brother Yang interrupted with a sneer, "Stop talking! Since you deceived me, you must pay the price!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the two of them clashed with their weapons.
The expressions of the other geniuses changed, and they retreated one after another, putting some distance between themselves and the other geniuses.
Now everyone can see the number of tokens, points and rankings above the other person's head, which is equivalent to showing others one's own secrets.
The scene suddenly became tense. Some of the geniuses ranked below the top 450 had obscure looks in their eyes. They also wanted to enter the legendary Nine Gates of the Great Desolation! Therefore, in the final three days, they had to fight with all their might to climb the rankings!
At this moment, a young man in red tights suddenly appeared silently, holding a long sword and stabbing it directly into the heart of a genius. The genius whose heart was stabbed screamed, but before he could fight back, the long sword was suddenly pulled out and blood splattered.
Bang!
The proud man fell to the ground with his eyes open.
Many geniuses were startled and looked up at the young man in red clothes.
"Xu Cheng!"
Xu Cheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He leaned over and quickly snatched away the storage ring of the prodigy, then rushed into the Ice Mist Forest without looking back.
The moment he got the storage ring, his ranking instantly soared from sixty-seventh to thirty-fifth!
The expressions of the geniuses changed, and the dark desires in their hearts seemed to be breaking out.
Killing the opponent and then seizing the token is one of the fastest ways to advance in the rankings!
