Free Web NovelWang Chen felt utterly delighted when his usually serious and cold uncle started speaking with a heavy accent.
He should probably call this a glorious return to his hometown, right?
Thanks to the people, thanks to the party, and thanks to Ming Shen for her kind heart!
“Hehehe.”
As an old hand who had been in a high position for many years, Wang Pinglu immediately realized he had lost his composure. His face tightened, and he forcefully suppressed his surging emotions.
Looking at his little nephew, who was once again giggling foolishly, he raised a hand and flicked his forehead.
“Explain yourself clearly!”
Wang Chen didn’t dare to be too smug, worried his uncle would report him.
If that happened, what awaited him upon his return wouldn't be a welcoming crowd, but a chaotic beating.
So, he gave a rough account of what had happened in the Secret Realm.
It wasn’t that he didn’t understand the rules, or that he revealed Mingxi’s affairs without asking her; rather, he knew these things couldn’t be kept from his uncle.
With a Secret Realm opening, how could the Special Administration Bureau not send people in?
“You’re saying you only got 66 spirit chess pieces because Mingxi directed you?”
Wang Pinglu asked again, uncertainly.
Wang Chen nodded heavily.
“Uncle, Ming Shen absolutely deserves credit for all the gains I’ve made this time.”
As he spoke, he leaned closer to his uncle and whispered, “So, you see, can you help Ming Shen fight for that matter?”
Wang Pinglu’s eyelids twitched violently.
Of course, he knew what ‘that matter’ his little nephew was referring to.
This kid sure knows how to ask for a lot!
“...Uncle, I know you’re angry, but don’t be angry yet.” Wang Chen knew his request was excessive, but he still wanted to fight for his idol.
“Do you know how many spirit chess pieces Ming Shen got this time?”
“360 pieces!”
After dropping a bombshell on his uncle, Wang Chen continued, “Although I’m not sure if she’s used all the pieces yet, the last time I saw her, she had already used 277.”
Qi Palace has twelve floors, and each floor has 40 rooms.
So it was already difficult for them to run into each other.
Moreover, when he came out, Mingxi might have already entered a room, so it was good enough to meet her once or twice.
What he meant was, he had made a huge profit with 66 spirit chess pieces, so Ming Shen with 360 pieces must have filled her coffers to the brim, right?
“Uncle, Ming Shen will definitely reach an unimaginable height in the future. If you befriend her and invest in her now, it will definitely be a hugely profitable venture.”
At this moment, Wang Pinglu’s heart was more than just turbulent; it was like Nezha stirring the sea!
If he was only suspicious just now, he could now be certain.
Mingxi must have deciphered the Chess Bridge!
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
At the Secret Realm entrance, the girl’s figure stepped out.
“Ming Shen!”
Seeing Mingxi, Wang Chen unhesitatingly abandoned his own uncle and ran towards her.
A faint smile appeared on the girl’s calm, emotionless face, adding a few more shades to her bright and delicate features.
“Little Friend Mingxi.”
“Little friend.”
“Miss Ming.”
“Ming Shen!” freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Then, an even more shocking scene occurred for Wang Pinglu.
Not only his little nephew, but other Beast Tamers who had already returned from the Secret Realm also walked up to Mingxi one after another, conversing with her in a gentle manner.
Among these people were young Beast Tamers like his little nephew, outstanding disciples cultivated by certain prominent families, and even famous big shots.
The most astonishing thing was that even Old Master Yun Mou affectionately called Mingxi ‘Little Friend Mingxi’!
If it hadn’t happened right before his eyes, he would truly suspect he was dreaming.
“Director Wang.”
At this moment, two young men quickly walked up to Wang Pinglu.
They were Staff Members dispatched by the Special Administration Bureau into the Chess Palace Secret Realm this time.
In addition to exploring the Secret Realm themselves, they were also responsible for recording all the major and minor events that occurred within it.
There were four of them in total; two others had not yet emerged from the Secret Realm.
“We have important news to report!” The two looked at Wang Pinglu excitedly.
Wang Pinglu appeared calm. “Are you trying to say that Mingxi deciphered the Chess Bridge?”
The two: “You already know?!”
As expected.
However, these two had more than just that to report.
“Miss Ming, she opened the Thirteenth Floor of the Chess Palace Secret Realm.”
“What?!”
Time rewound to two and a half hours ago.
“Bang!”
Mingxi sidestepped the man’s fierce attack, then kicked him in the abdomen.
The man grunted, but quickly adjusted his posture, swinging his thick arm to try and grab Mingxi’s neck.
Mingxi leaped nimbly, avoiding his chokehold, and as she landed, she swept her leg, attacking the man’s lower body.
The powerful man before her, three times her size, was the opponent matched to her by the sixteenth Yong Ling Room.
He was also the strongest opponent she had encountered in the Qi Palace to date.
His physique, stamina, attack power, and defense were all far superior to the previous fifteen.
What startled Mingxi even more was this person’s adaptability.
She knew her own strengths: while her stamina and attack power weren't top-tier, her tactical acumen and combat skills were absolutely second to none.
Even Chu Kuangsheng had said that once her physical fitness level caught up to his, he wouldn't be her match.
But the opponent before her showed no signs of being at a disadvantage, even under her relentless pressure.
Everyone said that the opponents matched in the Yong Ling Room were virtual entities.
However, Mingxi, who had used the combat simulation room and seen Golden Yuanbao and Lan Yue fight simulated Transcendent creatures, knew best what true virtual entities were like.
No matter how high their intelligence level, how realistic, or how agile, virtual entities always had one major problem that distinguished them from reality: they lacked bloodlust.
The unyielding will of Golden Yuanbao and Lan Yue during combat, their breakthroughs of their own limits when facing strong enemies—
such spirit could absolutely not be seen in virtual entities.
In short, they had no souls.
Even Guangguang’s emotions were generated based on computational logic.
But the opponent before her, from all his various performances, truly did not seem like a soulless virtual character.
Therefore, Mingxi suspected that the opponent before her was a real entity.
Unfortunately, she tried to question and probe him, but the man either couldn’t hear her voice or couldn’t understand her language.
In any case, she couldn't understand his responses either.
Of course, this wasn't important; what was important was how to defeat the opponent!
“Suppress!”
The man was enraged by Mingxi’s attack and let out a roar.
All his sounds were this single word, ‘Suppress,’ and she could only discern his emotions from his tone.
Mingxi no longer cared what he was roaring; seeing that her previous attack had landed, she immediately rushed forward.
She dodged the man’s massive, sandbag-like fists while looking for an opening...
The two tangled for another five full minutes.
The moment the man revealed an opening, Mingxi fiercely kicked his knee.
“Crack!”
The sound of bone cracking was exceptionally clear in the ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) empty room.
The man cried out in pain, forced to kneel on one knee.
Mingxi pressed her advantage, striking the man’s head with her elbow like a knife!
The man’s colossal body tumbled down with a crash. freёwebnoѵel.com
But his bloodshot, crimson eyes were filled with unwillingness!
“Suppress!”
