Chapter 56: Chapter 55= Ghost (Asking for follow-up and data!)”_l

The challenge arena is quite large, plenty for a hundred-strong squad to run
wild in.
The Lord Player who got on the stage didn’t summon a large army, she only sent out a few types of troops.
These troops were completely transparent, like they were interwoven blocks of water flow. They took the form of human women wearing long dresses and were graceful and varied in poses.
“Elemental lives, rare one-star level troops, Spring Spirits, blimey, she has sent out six at once. Indeed, she’s not called a rising star for nothing – Lord of Huan Chao Liu Miumiu, she’s indeed stronger than me.”
An aside-like exclamation rose from nearby, oh, it was the Lord Player who had just been squashed into a pancake marveling in time.
Indeed, six Spring Spirits, and they are elemental troops of the rare type, really quite remarkable.
But who is the Lord of Huan Chao, Liu Miumiu?
“Uh, this bro…” He looked at Mu Yuan as if he were looking at an alien, “Who in our circle doesn’t know her? Anyway, let me introduce myself, I’m Jiang
Luoxing, and I come from LiuyunCity.”
Compared to the previous person, he Jiang Luoxing was not so famous, which was related to his background, but he was very self-aware of this.
However, usually, when he said the three words ‘LiuyunCity’, the other people in the same circle should know who he was.
But seeing the look on this guy’s face – a third contemplation, a third reminiscence, and four parts bewildered, Luo Xing still felt a bit inconceivable.
Bro, did you fail your Tai Xuan Geography or something?
He never thought that Mu Yuan came from a civilian background. He wasn’t looking down on ordinary people, his own father was a self-made man who had built a great foundation from nothing. However, the growth of civilian players in the early stage was not fast, and they were certainly slower than the second generation players who had backgrounds.
His father also struggled in the early stages, and it was only after he became a Lord for over two years that he stumbled upon a great opportunity that allowed him to rise to power and establish Liyun City.
“Well, have you ever heard of Han Yue City? The lady Liu in front is the sister of the Lord of the Han Yue City.”
It seems like he has.
Mu Yuan remembered that when old players were debating ‘the strongest newcomer’ on the forum, the most frequently mentioned people included this Liu Miumiu, although most old players referred to her as ‘the sister of the Lord of Han Yue City’.
Apparently, she is one of the newcomers with the strongest background.
He also recalled who this young man in front of him was – a second-generation Lord who once posted his achievements on the forum.
A bona fide top-notch second-gen, but not as arrogant and domineering as he had imagined. His eyes were even overly enthusiastic, which made Mu Yuan involuntarily step backward.
Facing such an enthusiastic youngster who had introduced himself, Mu Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, “Mu You, just an ordinary game player.
Mu Yuan’s understanding of the Secret Realm’s Challenge all came from the information provided by the guild.
But that information was sparse, and the guild simply reminded the newbies to play according to their strength and not lose the chance of the Lord Trial by forcefully charging into the Secret Realm’s Gate, which would be a case of great loss for a small gain.
“I heard that there are several stages in the Secret Realm’s Challenge?
He asked.
Seeing Mu Yuan acting like a Greenhand, Luo Xing, who saw himself as a big brother, became more and more enthusiastic. After all, he was also a standout among the second-generation Lords, so he warmly introduced:
“Bro, since you can enter the Secret Realm, you must be not bad. It’s no problem for you to pass the first three stages, and you can get the Rare Level Remnantsoul or resources. But starting from the fourth stage, the quantity, level, and rank of the monsters guarding the stages will greatly increase, and each stage after that can be said to be qualitatively different.
“By the 5th stage, you would have to face a full ten rare level monsters, all at level 9! Who can beat that?! Even if we developed for a few more days, we might not be able to beat them!”
“What’s more, the hit that kills you from the monsters, hiss … really hurts like
a mother…!”
Painful?
Wait a minute, let me get this straight.
It seems, looks like, roughly, perhaps… Through this Consciousness Descend, you can better command and control your troops, but at the same time, players have to endure real sensory feedback.
Even if you can’t die, it can bring you enough pain to make you wish you were dead.
Ah, well…
This energetic young man Luo Xing, although he was shouting out in pain, did not show much fear. He had experienced similar training when he was a child.
Mu Yuan stated that he was just an ordinary person, and the thought of being smashed into a pancake like Luo Xing just now… was a bit scary!
Unless you can not die, but…
Even though he had a far superior combat power than Luo Xing, and was capable of breaking through the fifth stage, what about the sixth and seventh stages?
“Since all the troops have been wiped out, can’t we make a tactical surrender?
“Well, we can’t really die here, so of course there’s no option for surrender. My friend, you also shouldn’t worry, death is inevitable, whether we’re flattened into a pancake or torn in half,” said Luo Xing.
But why do I feel like this guy is reveling in schadenfreude?
Speaking of which, that girl, Liu Miumiu, is going to be flattened into a cracker just like us, right?
Mu Yuan kind of wanted to watch, but the thought of facing the same fate made him suddenly lose interest.
He didn’t continue watching the battle, but muttered to open the challenge and disappeared.
Leaving Luo Xing, clutching his messy hair in the wind.
“Bro, why are you in such a hurry? Don’t you want to see how far Miss Liu can go?”
He wanted to assess this ‘greenhand’s’ skills but, of course, he’s more interested in seeing Liu Miumiu’s true strength.
The sister of the legendary City Lord of Han Yue City must be quite good.
She should at least be able to pass the 5th level.
Maybe when brother Mu You fails and quits, I will be able to witness Liu Miumiu’s peak battle.”
Luo Xing focused his gaze on the competition area on the right.
On the left stage, as Mu Yuan stepped onto it, he summoned several Skeleton Warriors, such as Bone Four, and a bunch of powerful Skeleton Soldiers with a swing of his hand.
“The first three rounds are supposed to be easy, so I’ll just go for it. This is also a good opportunity to get some practice in personal control.” Compared to the day of the examination, his spiritual power has increased a lot. Mu Yuan found that his maximum control range has expanded to two to three hundred meters. He can do many more operations now.
Soon, the enemy of the first round emerges.
After a while of messing around, Bone Four finally defeated the enemy with his heavy sword.
Then came the second, third, fourth round…
With his eight Skeleton Warriors and twenty to thirty Skeleton Soldiers, he bulldozed his way through. Even the significantly harder fourth round was a chaotic massacre.
The enemies in these stages weren’t really worth looking forward to. Nevertheless, the rewards from the Secret Realm were still quite impressive.
“Easy stages and generous rewards… No wonder people call the Newcomer Secret Realm a welfare. I’m in love with it.”
The reward for the first stage is quite simple. It is a choice of three types of Remnant Souls.
10 Little Skeleton Remnant Souls; 6 two-star Wandering Soul Fragments; 3 three-star Zombie Fragments;
The rewards for the subsequent stages are a mixture of Remnant Souls and materials. The best among these is a Rare One-Star level Remnant Soul. A regular player would surely choose a rare Remnant Soul, but Mu Yuan chose the lower-star options instead.
However,
“A Wandering Soul?” he was initially planning to choose the Little Skeleton, but he couldn’t take his eyes off the Wandering Soul when he saw it.
While simultaneously checking the data on Wandering Souls in reality.
It’s a rare and quite worthless type of troop.
As a spiritual troop type, Wandering Souls possess strong abilities such as immunity to physical attacks, wall penetration, and inherent spiritual damage. However, the soul body of a Wandering Soul is very fragile and can melt quickly like spring snow when exposed to sunlight.
The attack power of Wandering Souls is relatively weak too, making it ineffective against troops with strong physical strength.
Even if a Wandering Soul is trained to level 9 or even Professional level, it still has the fatal weakness of fearing sunlight and can’t stay in a bright environment for long.
Seemingly strong but actually weak.
Nice to have but not needed.
That’s how most experienced players evaluate Wandering Souls.
“Wandering Souls may be weak, but their higher form, the rare one-star ‘Ghost’, is quite powerful and definitely one of the most popular troop types among one-star rares. Its exchange value is even higher than the neighboring Spring Spirit.”
Glancing at the options for Remnant Souls given for the first four stages, Mu Yuan gestured with a wave of his hand.
Choose all Wandering Souls!
