Su Ping took out a bottle of water from his backpack. Through the water's reflection, he saw what his forehead looked like.
It was a coiled dragon.
"The remnant power of the dragon soul is hidden in this mark. Through this mark, I can return to the Mysterious Realm at any time, and I can also be teleported out of the Mysterious Realm directly …"
Su Ping touched the mark carefully. He wished that he could keep it hidden. Otherwise, with a dragon mark on his forehead, he would feel like a fantasy version of Bao Qingtian.
He felt that the astral power in his body was tightly connected to the mark on his forehead. He suddenly had an idea and tried to withdraw the astral power on his forehead.
A strange thing happened. When he withdrew the astral power, the mark on his forehead suddenly twisted. The dragon sank with the astral power and shrank into his skin. His forehead was flat again.
Su Ping felt that the dragon mark was still on his forehead, but it was just coiling under the skin.
"It really works …"
Su Ping was pleasantly surprised. He was relieved. Finally, he wasn't as eye-catching as before. The only regret was that he was still too handsome. (ノ ̄ ̄,) …
"Speaking of which, since the controller of this Mysterious Realm deliberately concealed the number of explorations on the dragon scale continent and knew that this place was a legacy, I guess I've already attracted their attention by passing the ninth dragon bone."
Su Ping's thoughts returned to the dragon king's legacy. He frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he decided to return to the base city as soon as possible.
He would be completely safe once he returned to the shop.
With the protection of the system, he wouldn't be afraid even if a legendary battle pet warrior came. After all, the system had boasted that as long as he was within the range of the shop, not even gods and demons could hurt him!
Compared to gods and demons, legendary battle pet warriors were nothing but ants.
After making up his mind, Su Ping didn't linger. He used the mark and teleported out of the Mysterious Realm.
…
…
On the Dragon Platform, in front of the towering dragon bones …
More and more onlookers had gathered. When they heard that someone had climbed to the ninth dragon bone, people from the rest areas in the distance also rushed over. The Dragon Platform was packed with people.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the dragon bone on the top floor.
"Who is this challenger? He actually managed to reach the ninth dragon bone?"
"Hey, is what you said true? Did someone really reach the ninth dragon bone? Didn't you say that the highest one could reach was the sixth dragon bone? Did you make a mistake? "
"Are you stupid? There are so many of us here. How could we be wrong? This is absolutely true. Besides, didn't you see that Dao Zun and the others had appeared on the dragon bones? If he hadn't ascended to the ninth dragon bone, how could those big shots have been alerted?"
"… That's true. Speaking of which, who is this challenger? Which big family is he from?"
"Who knows? But that guy is way too awesome. He killed everyone on the Dragonbone Prodigy Roll in seconds!"
"It is incomparable. Ye Tianming, who is ranked first on the Dragon Bone Genius Ranking, has only reached the sixth dragon bone. Although this record was set a few years ago, he might be able to reach the seventh or eighth dragon bone now. However, it is impossible to reach the ninth dragon bone in one go."
"Not to mention the eighth dragon bone, even the seventh dragon bone is difficult. I heard that above the seventh dragon bone, the increase in combat power is huge. Even Dao Zun and the others flinched in front of the eighth dragon bone!"
"Tsk tsk, he will be out soon. We are about to witness the birth of a legendary genius!"
The onlookers discussed animatedly. Their eyes were filled with excitement. They wanted to see who this challenger was with their own eyes.
In mid-air, Dao Zun and the others looked a little gloomy. No one spoke.
Just as they were watching, Dao Zun suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly. He turned his head to look at the entrance of the secret realm. His eyes flashed.
The space distorted slightly. A figure suddenly appeared out of thin air and appeared in front of them.
Dao Zun lowered his head and said respectfully, "Lord Yuan."
The others were shocked. They didn't realize when the other party had arrived. At this moment, they hurriedly bowed and called out, "Lord Yuan."
The person who had appeared out of thin air was an old man with white hair. He was wearing a simple cyan robe with long sleeves. He had a scholarly air about him. His long white beard was fluttering in the wind. He nodded and asked, "Is the challenger inside the dragon bone?"
Dao Zun lowered his head and answered, "Yes."
The old man with the surname Yuan opened his eyes. There was a glint of cold killing intent in his eyes. He asked in an indifferent tone, "When did he go in? How long has he been in the ninth dragon bone?"
"I informed you as soon as he entered the ninth dragon bone. It has been half an hour since then." Dao Zun lowered his head.
The others felt the killing intent from the old man with the surname Yuan. They were afraid that the old man would vent his anger on them.
"Still not out? Have you found out which family the challenger is from?" the old man with the surname Yuan asked.
Dao Zun answered, "I just went down and asked around. I heard that the challenger is a young man in his early twenties. He is from the Longjiang Base City and his surname is Su. He owns a pet store. I will ask the mayor of the Longjiang Base City to get this person's information through the Civil Affairs Bureau. That way, we will be able to find out which family he is from."
The old man with the surname Yuan squinted his eyes and put his hands behind his back. He gazed at the ninth dragon bone without saying another word.
Time flew by. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
The onlookers in front of the dragon bones were getting impatient. Some people's necks were sore.
"Is this real? Is this a joke?"
"It's true. It's definitely true. But could the challenger have died in there?"
"It is possible. After all, the ninth dragon bone is not easy. What if he ran into a beast king? He could have been killed instantly."
"The challenge of the dragon bones is not a joke. Deaths are rare but injuries are common. I think the challenger tried to force his way in but was killed because he was not strong enough."
The challenger had not come out yet. More and more people believed that the challenger had failed. Not only had he failed the ninth dragon bone, but he had also been killed.
Gradually, some onlookers left with regrets and went back to their own business.
The remaining onlookers stayed for another half an hour before they left one after another. After all, time in the Mysterious Realm was precious. They did not have that much time to watch a show.
The more powerful a battle was, the easier it would be for the winner to be determined. Only when the two parties were on par with each other would the battle last for hours or even days and nights until they ran out of strength.
"I don't think the challenger survived."
An old man with white hair and a healthy complexion standing next to Dao Zun said gingerly.
The others also nodded slightly, thinking the same thing. They were all relieved. If they failed the challenge, they wouldn't be blamed too much. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for them to bear the responsibility.
Dao Zun frowned. He gazed at the ninth dragon bone without saying anything. As a matter of fact, deep down, he was hoping that the challenger would pass.
He didn't know why he had such expectations, but when he felt that this person would fail the challenge, he felt an inexplicable sense of regret.
The coldness in the old man's eyes was not as strong as before. Entering the ninth dragon bone didn't mean that the challenger would be able to challenge the ninth dragon bone. It seemed that the challenger had a ninety percent chance of failing.
The old man looked away from the ninth dragon bone and said to Dao Zun, "The challenger might have failed but go and contact the Longjiang Base City. I want to know everything about the challenger before sunset. Also, tell the explorers to slow down their progress and leave the last three seals open."
Venerable the Saber's heart skipped a beat. He immediately understood what Su Mo meant and nodded. "Yes."
The Seal Pioneer Corps was a team formed by several forces. They were responsible for opening up the seals in various regions. Otherwise, with the speed of these Pioneer Corps, who knew how long it would take for them to open up all the seals in the various regions.
"Also, the Mysterious Realm will be open for another three days and then close in advance," the old man said.
Venerable the Blade was startled. He looked at Ye Futian and his eyes flickered. He did not expect Ye Futian to be so cautious. Ye Futian was determined to leave the inheritance to his granddaughter and not give anyone else a chance.
The old man lowered his head and said yes.
The others looked at each other and forced a bitter smile. They couldn't help but yearn for the legendary rank even more.
There was only one rank between the titled rank and the legendary rank but the gap was insurmountable.
The real resources on the Blue Star were in the hands of legendary battle pet warriors. Legendary battle pet warriors were like gods on the Blue Star, overlooking the entire planet. The Longtai Mountain was a land of treasures. Anyone could become a legendary battle pet warrior if they could get their hands on it. However, the other legendary battle pet warriors couldn't compete for such an opportunity. They didn't have the chance and they didn't qualify.
That was the rule of the strong.
The strong would become stronger and the weak would become weaker.
…
…
Outside the Longtai Mountain.
On an open ground more than ten miles away, the space twisted and a man showed up.
Su Ping landed on the ground. He looked around and saw that he was already on the road outside the Mysterious Realm. He looked back and saw the mountain at the entrance of the Mysterious Realm.
Many Wasteland Pioneering Chariots were parked on this desolate road.
Su Ping finally remembered that he came here on Ye Chenshan's vehicle. It seemed that he had to rely on himself to go back.
He wanted to grab one of the vehicles and drive it away but decided against it.
There was satellite surveillance here. If something really happened, someone would definitely investigate the satellite surveillance. At that time, they might even see him appear here out of thin air. That would be a little strange.
Su Ping walked along the road and found the way back to the Longjiang Base City. He traveled another ten miles before he summoned the Dark Dragon Hound.
Su Ping hopped onto the Dark Dragon Hound's back, grabbed its fur, and shouted, "Go! You'll be my mount for the time being."
The Dark Dragon Hound understood what Su Ping meant but it was reluctant. It was a battle pet and had its dignity, not a mount.
That being said, Su Ping patted the Dark Dragon Hound and the Dark Dragon Hound ran faster and faster.
