Chapter 133: President Chen: You Guys at Wu University Are Making a Killing!
Behind the archway stood a massive coliseum, far grander than any human sports arena, larger than ten football fields combined.
In the center of the coliseum was a plaza, where 16 enormous arenas were set up. Each arena covered an area of 300 square ters.
Instead of traditional seats, the audience stands were filled with nurous houses. From within these houses, spectators could look down upon the arenas below. However, the coliseum was empty—there wasn't a single person or even a trace of any monsters.
"World's Number One?" Cao Yu looked at the plaque on the archway and exclaid in surprise, "What kind of secret realm is this? Are there no monsters here?"
Old Liu replied, "With so many arenas, it seems that this so-called 'public secret realm' is actually a place for people to spar."
Cao Yu asked, "If this secret realm is for sparring, why does it erase our mories?"
Old Liu chuckled and explained, "There are many low-key individuals who like to hide their strength. From what I know, just within our country, there are many people whose true power far exceeds their official rankings. There are even so fifth-rank experts who actually possess the strength of the sixth rank, but they choose not to show off and refrain from improving their official rankings, staying at the fifth rank."
"Perhaps the secret realm takes this into consideration, which is why it erases the mory of the sparring process, allowing everyone to fully unleash their potential."
Hearing Old Liu's explanation, Zhao Zheng and Cao Yu nodded in agreent.
Tang Zichen, however, instinctively glanced at Chen Ye. She believed that Chen Ye was exactly the kind of person Old Liu was describing.
At this mont, Chen Ye was vigilant, keeping Tang Zichen closely by his side. There were many other people around them, and Chen Ye was worried that soone might launch a surprise attack on his little wife.
Tang Zichen, being exceptionally smart, quickly noticed Chen Ye's actions, feeling warmth in her heart. A smile appeared on her delicate face.
"Huh? Class Monitor, why are you smiling so sweetly?" Ren Qianqian, standing next to Tang Zichen, asked curiously, "Did you think of sothing good? Share it with !"
Tang Zichen: "..."
At this mont, everyone suddenly received a ssage in their minds:
[Rules for the World's Number One Martial Arts Tournant...]
The rules were detailed—at least ten thousand words long! In summary, it was a regional competition. Each country was divided into its own region.
First, people from the sa country would spar, and within a month, the strongest five teams would be determined to represent their country in the world finals, where the champion team would be decided.
After the competition, rewards would be distributed according to the teams' rankings.
Teams that did not make it into the top 100 would each receive only 30 potential points.
Teams ranked between 100 and 50 would each receive 50 potential points.
Teams ranked between 50 and 10 would each receive 80 potential points.
The top 10 teams would each receive at least 100 potential points.
The top three teams—champions, runners-up, and third place—would receive the most generous rewards.
During the competition, no one was allowed to attack each other in private settings! Especially those who initiated the attacks—they would face the most severe punishnt.
They wouldn't be killed, but they would be trapped in the secret realm forever...
There were no restrictions on the arenas, but if you felt you couldn't defeat your opponent, you could imdiately surrender to save your life!
The houses in the audience stands were specifically designed for people to rest in, with food and water available inside. Of course, there wouldn't be any gourt food—just enough to fill your stomach and sustain your energy for the daily matches.
The competition hours were from 8 AM to 8 PM every day!
...
That was the gist of the rules.
When Chen Ye learned that private fights were prohibited during the competition, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, no one should risk the danger of being trapped forever just to ambush Tang Zichen, right?
No wonder the public secret realm was always hailed as the welfare secret realm—the safest of all secret realms.
Even in the arena, you could surrender to save your life.
However, Chen Ye did not completely let down his guard. What if so crazy person decided to take Tang Zichen down with them?
At this mont, Old Liu suddenly exclaid, "The public secret realm takes so much ti, yet only one day passes outside? It seems that the flow of ti in this secret realm is vastly different from the real world!"
Indeed, if ti were synchronized, by the ti a champion was decided, two or three months would have passed in the real world.
In reality, every year, the public secret realm opens on May 1st and closes on May 2nd.
Chen Ye thought of sothing and asked, "Teacher, since the competition lasts so long, if we train during the competition period, will our attributes increase? If they do, wouldn't that allow us to deduce that the competition ti and real-world ti don't match?"
Old Liu frowned and thought for a mont. "I'm not sure about the specifics, but I've never heard of anyone discovering any related issues... So, I guess training during the competition probably doesn't increase attributes? Or if it does, it might only increase temporary attributes that are erased after leaving the secret realm?"
"If you want to find out, you can try it yourself later."
Chen Ye nodded.
At this mont, Gao Ye, a fifth-rank expert with a mature deanor, suddenly said to Tang Zichen, "Tang Zichen, for your safety, you should forfeit the upcoming matches and leave the rest to us."
"That's right!" Old Liu added, "Tang Zichen, it's best if you forfeit and don't participate in any matches to avoid giving others a chance."
On the arena, it was possible to kill your opponent. Although there was a surrender chanism, what if soone got killed in a split second before they could surrender?
Such cases must have happened before.
Because every year, there are indeed so people who never return from the public secret realm.
Tang Zichen didn't say anything but looked directly at Chen Ye.
She always listened to her "Brother Chen."
Chen Ye agreed, saying, "Class Monitor, you really shouldn't participate in the competition."
Only then did Tang Zichen obediently nod, "Alright, I won't compete this ti."
Everyone was stunned! The fact that Tang Zichen listened to Chen Ye so well was astonishing to them! They had originally thought that this "little couple" should be led by Tang Zichen.
After all, Tang Zichen had such remarkable talent and strength.
Even though Chen Ye had acquired fire-based abilities, they couldn't compare.
But it turned out to be the opposite?? What's going on?
Did this bald guy put so kind of love spell on this girl? Aside from Zhao Zheng and Cao Yu, everyone else looked at Chen Ye with strange expressions.
"Chen Ye!"
Suddenly, a voice called out from the crowd nearby.
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Ye imdiately turned around, smiled, and shouted, "Dad!"
The person approaching was President Chen.
Behind him were mbers of his team, including President Ba Liming.
Their team was also a star team in the country!
They were under the spotlight! At this mont, countless eyes around them were focused on President Ba and his team.
"Old Chen!"
Principal Lu, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up and greeted President Chen, "This ti, your goal is the national championship, right?"
Ba Liming did not step forward.
He wasn't very familiar with Principal Lu.
"Whether we can win the championship depends on my senior brother."
After saying this, President Chen suddenly added with a aningful tone, "But, Old Lu, this ti your team might hit the jackpot. If you're lucky, you could even make it into the global top ten!"
Hearing this, Principal Lu was completely confused.
The others were also puzzled.
Only Tang Zichen's eyes lit up, and she smiled warmly at Chen Ye.
"Old Chen, what nonsense are you talking about? Making it into the global top ten? I wouldn't even dare dream of sothing so outrageous," Principal Lu said.
The others shared similar thoughts.
Considering the number of experts worldwide, making it into the top ten would require at least a team led by a sixth-rank expert.
And in Wu University's team, the strongest person on the surface was likely Principal Lu.
President Chen was about to say sothing when suddenly, everyone received another ssage in their minds.
This ti, it was urging them to quickly enter the coliseum and return to their assigned rooms according to their room numbers.
President Chen smiled and said, "You'll understand during the competition."
After leaving this cryptic remark, President Chen left, following Ba Liming and the others towards the archway.
This left Principal Lu and the others feeling uneasy.
"Let's go as well!" Principal Lu sighed and led the way towards the archway.
Everyone followed suit.
The coliseum didn't have just one archway.
They were spread out in all directions.
If there had been only one archway, it would have been blocked with so many people!
Upon entering the coliseum, everyone couldn't help but marvel again at its vastness.
This was undoubtedly the largest structure they had ever seen.
Then, everyone proceeded to their assigned houses based on their room numbers.
On the outside, the rooms in the audience stands seed small, like single rooms.
But upon entering, they discovered that the inside was entirely different!
It was almost like a luxurious mansion! There were ten rooms alone.
Each room was equipped with an en-suite bathroom.
In addition to the rooms, there was a living room, a lounge, an entertainnt room, a training room—almost everything you could think of.
There was even a weapon room, stocked with various weapons.
However, they were all cold weapons like swords, spears, and staves—no firearms at all.
"The public secret realm prohibits bringing any items inside..." Shao Wenhui wondered aloud, "So why provide weapons?"
Ren Qianqian responded, "Silly! The main reason the secret realm does this is probably to prevent people from smuggling in contraband, like explosives."
"But so people's abilities rely on weapons, like our Principal and Teacher Liu. So, the secret realm provides weapons."
"Qianqian is right," Old Liu said with a smile.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Shao Wenhui changed the topic, "I'm going to pick a room... I'll take Room 7."
"Hmm?" Ren Qianqian imdiately said, "Brother Zheng just chose Room 6, and you're picking Room 7? Little sister, could you be more obvious?"
Shao Wenhui blushed bright red and quickly said, "Then... I'll take Room 9!"
"Forget it! You should stick with Room 7! It's closer to your dear Brother Zheng." Ren Qianqian teased with a grin, "But rember, don't sneak into Room 6 at night. We're girls; we need to be reserved, you know?"
According to the secret realm's rules, people could visit each other's rooms, but they needed the host's permission before entering.
Everyone, don't get too excited! This year's public secret realm has many high points and non-stop excitent...
