Chapter 1140: Dangers of the secret land

From MC’s Perspective:

I returned to the gathering room. I could see the gazes of everyone were different than before.

This time there were no emotions of jealousy and envy. Instead, there was more fear and respect.

I liked this type of emotion. From now on, they won’t dare to trouble me, even if their elders instigate them.

…

Viewing Block 1:

Dean Jerome gave one last glance at Vince and the others before turning back to watch the duel. Vince was like a frightened chick. He stood last.

Though the dean didn’t elaborate further, everyone understood that the Faction Leader had done something to anger him.

Vince knew about it as well, so he remained silent. He had realized the seriousness of the matter. If he crossed the line one more time, then the dean would kill him for sure.

…

Time passed.

The second round of the selection event was reaching its end. The selection of the final 30 warriors was about to be over. Almost all the famous warriors had been selected.

There were some surprises, such as Hidden Ace Stephen and a few other titled warriors. From now on, no one would call them by their titles.

Soon, the duel came to an end at night. The 30 genius warriors were selected from all the factions. They were going to represent Star University to enter the secret land.

The old man was standing outside the platform.

“Quiet,” he said.

His voice silenced the whole place. The Outer Hall warriors who were ready to leave returned to their seats. They could see that the old man was going to make some announcements.

“The warriors who were selected, come to the platform,” the old man said.

Hearing that, everyone’s gaze fell towards the gathering room.

Inside the room, I found everyone’s gaze on me after hearing the old man’s words. I immediately realized they wanted me to lead. So I nodded to them before turning around to leave.

From the Dark Variant Faction, only Ronnie Seth was selected.

Everyone then started following Zack to leave the room. Then they came to the platform. All the 30 warriors stood on the platform in line.

All the Outer Hall warriors looked at them.

The old man nodded his head before saying, “Let’s welcome our dean here.”

Gasp!

The next second, the warriors exclaimed. Not many had seen the dean despite studying here for many years.

Swoosh!

Dean Jerome appeared in the sky. He was standing in mid-air. Upon seeing him, everyone became quiet.

Jeremy nodded to everyone. He was impressed with the event. All the top warriors had been selected.

He said, “You have all shown your strength. But remember, in the secret land, there are no rules. Killings are allowed there. So be careful when exploring the place.”

“I’m going to reward those who perform well, so do your best to collect as many resources as possible,” he added.

Hearing that, the 30 warriors let out a cheer.

Swoosh!

Dean Jerome nodded before leaving the place.

“You guys can go back to your faction,” the old man said before leaving.

At the same time, I started walking back to the Thunderflame Faction. Soon, I reached there.

Before I could go back to my residence, Master Austin asked me to visit the Main Hall. Hearing that, I turned around and strode towards the Main Hall. On the way, the warriors nodded to me.

I could see respect in their eyes. Even the senior warriors had a better attitude toward me. Soon, I reached the Main Hall.

I saw all the main elders gathered there, including the main elder Rosie. In the main seat, the Faction Leader Clifford was seated.

Upon seeing me, everyone had smiles on their faces.

“Zack Lockwood, you have done well. Even Dean Jerome was impressed with your duel,” Clifford said with a smile.

The other main elders were smiling. Austin noticed the expressions of the other main elders.

He said, “Zack, you have no idea. The other main elders are jealous today.”

“They are regretting that they don’t have such a disciple in their faction,” he added.

Hearing that, I didn’t know what to say, but I thanked the main elders. If it weren’t for their constant support, I wouldn’t have come this far.

“Zack, the next thing is important. You have experience exploring the secret land in our Star University. But this secret land is dangerous.”

“We don’t know whether the rift in the sky leads to an old or new secret land,” Clifford said in a serious tone.

Now the faces of the other main elders were serious as well. The topic of the secret land was extremely important.

The main elders here had their own experiences as well.

Who among them had not explored the secret land and walked out safely in the end?

On the other hand, I had a premonition that this secret land was extremely important to me. I didn’t know why, but I had decided to take this challenge seriously.

“Zack, listen to me carefully. If it’s a big and old secret land, then you have to be cautious. The old secret lands are filled with not only resources but deadly monsters as well.”

“Some of the monsters are extremely evil. They could treat incoming warriors as food,” Clifford said.

Hearing that, my expression turned serious for a moment. It was not like I didn’t know about the secret land; I had encountered dangers before.

So what’s new with this secret land? A frown appeared on my face.

Clifford saw through my thoughts.

He said, “I can guess what you are thinking. The old secret land is powerful.”

He added, “But some of the monsters there have the strength of Black Mark Warriors and above. So you must be vigilant. Don’t go anywhere near the forbidden places.”

A strong fear rose in my heart. I thought there would be monsters below the Black Mark Rank. I didn’t expect there to be monsters above Class 10. Then I had to be careful.
