Among the newly promoted professionals, at least 50% were still conquering the Fourth Realm, 40% were in the Fifth Realm, and only 10% had just recently entered the Sixth Realm.
Zhang Yue had already defeated the Sixth Realm BOSS and was about to step into the Seventh Realm.
This progress was undeniably fast.
But for Zhang Yue, this efficiency was far from enough.
He needed to break through higher realms faster, achieve better developnt, and excel in the National Challenge Tournant. Subsequently, in the upcoming World Professional Championship finals, he aid to defeat professionals from other countries and elevate the Dragon Nation's global standing among new professionals.

[Sixth Realm Safe Zone: City of Ice and Snow]
Watching Zhang Yue step into the teleportation array leading to the Seventh Realm, Ouyang Ling'er lanted, "The Leader has just left us like this."
Wu Haotian wiped away tears, "Leader, safe travels..."
anwhile, Sword Emperor Luo Chen looked worried. "Master said I must protect Senior's safety. If he encounters danger in the Seventh Realm, I won't be able to help him."
"No, I must break through the Sixth Realm as quickly as possible, head to the Seventh Realm, and reunite with Senior. I'll protect him at all tis."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Haotian comnted, "Big Brother, are you sure you're the one protecting him, and not the other way around?"
"Enough chatter!" Lin Tian, the only seemingly normal person among them, finally said sothing sensible. "The Leader has acquired a lot of Level 45 five- to six-star equipnt over the past two days. Let's level up quickly, gear up, and conquer the Sixth Realm. Then we can head to the Seventh Realm and et up with the Leader."
At this mont, a series of system announcents suddenly echoed—
[System Announcent] (Sixth Realm):
[Ding~ Congratulations to the professional [Overlord Blade] for slaying the realm BOSS Death Overlord Kagliostro and clearing the Sixth Realm [Land of Death]]
Hearing the announcents, Ouyang Ling'er exclaid, "That cursed Overlord Blade. How is it such a coincidence that just as our Leader cleared the Sixth Realm, they followed suit?"
"Is there a possibility," Wu Haotian said while holding his blazing spear, "that they attempted the realm BOSS only after hearing our boss's announcent?"
Lin Tian adjusted his glasses with his index finger and spoke solemnly, "First, they likely realized that the Sixth Realm's rewards, especially the SSS-grade prizes, were already claid. There's nothing worth staying for anymore."
"Second, under orders from the Glory Guild, they are undoubtedly pursuing the Leader to the Seventh Realm."
"Quickly notify the Leader to beware of Overlord Blade."
———
anwhile, on the other side.
Zhang Yue entered the Seventh Realm and faced a choice.
In the Seventh Realm, there were eight major tribes available for professionals to choose from freely. Once a tribe was chosen, it would serve as the professional's safe zone within the Seventh Realm.
In a suspended space, Zhang Yue randomly selected one of the eight options presented before him.
The next mont—
WHOOSH!
As light enveloped him, Zhang Yue descended into a forest stronghold.
Within the vast green forest, simple straw huts were scattered around. People dressed in primitive attire, covered with rough branches and leaves, moved about.
Adults were busy crafting bows and spears, while children played and laughed.
Although simple, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming.
[Ding~ Welco to the Seventh Realm of the Otherworld: Sli Empire. You are currently in a safe zone: Ottiman Tribe (one of the eight major tribes)]
[Realm missions have been released. Please check them]
Before Zhang Yue could review the missions, a ssage appeared in the guild chat.
Ning Tiantian: ["Brother Zhang Yue, I just heard the announcent. That Overlord Blade defeated the realm BOSS and is likely heading to the Seventh Realm too. Be careful!"]
Zhang Yue checked the ti.
He realized it had been less than half an hour since he defeated the realm BOSS.
"If Overlord Blade began their attempt only after hearing the announcent of my victory..."
"Half an hour is all it took for them to clear the Sixth Realm BOSS?"
Zhang Yue was slightly surprised but found it understandable.
After all, Overlord Blade's full set of War God equipnt gave him a much higher damage output than Zhang Yue, despite being slightly less skilled in operations.
Moreover, the Martial Saint profession's unique characteristic—10% increased damage with each attack on the sa target—was similar to Zhang Yue's SSS-grade exclusive skill [Voidless • God-Slaying Curse], both specializing in countering BOSSes.
For Overlord Blade, slaying the Sixth Realm BOSS Death Overlord was as easy as pie.
He hadn't acted earlier only because he was waiting to snag the unique hidden mission of the Sixth Realm, which Zhang Yue had already claid.
"Interesting!"
Zhang Yue grew increasingly intrigued by Overlord Blade.
———
At the sa ti, in another part of the realm.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
As twenty beams of light descended, Overlord Blade and over twenty of his subordinates appeared simultaneously in the Seventh Realm, specifically within the [Eamon Tribe], one of the eight major tribes.
Looking around, Zhang Yue was nowhere in sight.
The 45th-level heavy-armored warrior [Overlord] smacked the head of a nearby archer subordinate. "Didn't I tell you Zero went to that Lyle Tribe? But you insisted on coming here to the Eamon Tribe. Now where is he?"
The archer, rubbing his head with a wronged expression, replied, "You were the one who said to co here. I didn't say anything."
Overlord: "You dare talk back? Say one more word."
Subordinate: "..."
"Silence!"
Clad in blood-red armor and sporting a scar across his stern face, Overlord Blade barked, "Spread out and search for Zero."
"Report to imdiately upon finding him."
"Yes, boss!"

Back in the Ottiman Tribe.
Zhang Yue casually opened the realm's background description.
[Seventh Realm: Sli Empire]
[Background: The evil Sli King leads the sli army, occupying human territories. They drive out and slaughter humans, taking over villages and lands. In desperation, the surviving humans organized themselves into eight major tribes, struggling to survive in what was once their holand...]
[Realm Mission 1: Defeat 100 Golden Slis in the Seventh Realm (Progress: 0/100)]
[Realm Mission 2: Collect 1 Starlight-grade Sli dal (Progress: 0/1)]
The missions in the Seventh Realm were noticeably more challenging compared to previous realms.
Or rather, the higher the realm, the harder the missions beca!
The dominating slis in the Seventh Realm were divided into seven grades: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, Starlight, and King.
The higher the grade, the greater their value.
However, high-grade slis were extrely rare.
According to guides, the spawn rate of Golden Slis was less than 1%.
Even in their normal form, Golden Slis were equivalent in value to elite monsters, and their lord form rivaled that of a BOSS.
Golden Sli BOSSes were priceless.
As for Diamond, Starlight, and King-grade slis, their value was imasurable.
Zhang Yue checked his current level: 43 (21%).
"I need to reach Level 45 quickly and equip the 7-star [Void Set] first."
With this thought, Zhang Yue followed the guide and found the most challenging mission in the Ottiman Tribe—a task with a completion rate of less than 0.1% among all newly promoted professionals.
