On the way, Wang Xiao was somewhat surprised.

Other than that item, he basically did not have any resources to help him out.

He did not expect to obtain first place in the rankings in one go. It was indeed unexpected for Wang Xiao.



At this moment, the Awakening Tower was silent.

After everyone recovered from their shock, they fell silent.

The first place everyone had discussed for a long time was actually snatched away by the beast tamer lord they looked down on the most.

This was especially true for the top ten students.

The benefits of being first were countless times better than those ranked behind.

In particular, the lord skill rewarded by the top three made everyone drool.

Tian Qiang and Fang Tianyu seemed to be somewhat unconvinced. They turned around and left the Awakening Tower.

They originally thought that they were all qualified to compete for the first place on the rankings, but they were suppressed by someone who had a useless talent. They naturally lost face.

Everyone stood quietly and watched the surrounding genius students leave before returning to their senses.

“Do you think that kid cheated?”

“This is the evaluation of the Awakening Tower. How can it be possible for the results to be fake?”

“He’s really lucky. However, when the joint examination comes, I’ll let this guy understand that he can’t rely on luck alone.”

The eleventh-ranked student with the Lava Lord talent had a cold tone and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

“Don’t let me encounter you in the joint examination. Otherwise, I’ll definitely make you regret competing with me for the rankings!”

With that said, this person also left.



The students of the academy were all discussing the rankings this year.

Everyone found it hard to believe that the beast tamer lord had gotten first place.

Everyone was guessing what method Wang Xiao had used to obtain first place. Everyone was envious of the first place reward.

Chen Xue received this news immediately and hurriedly rushed over. When she saw Wang Xiao, she was also stunned.

“You got first place?”

How could the level one mutated beast under Wang Xiao help him obtain so many points?

Before Chen Xue could speak, Wang Xiao was the first to ask, “Teacher, where can I receive the academy reward?”

“This way!”

Chen Xue immediately swallowed the words she wanted to say.

After arriving at the logistics department, Wang Xiao saw the reward.

The academy showed Wang Xiao three lord skills in one go and he could choose any one.

[Strength Totem (Green): Largely increases the strength of soldiers!]

[Fountain of Life (Green): Summon a spring water that can slowly treat the nearby soldiers!]

[Blazing Meteor (Green): Use your magic power to condense a huge fireball and cause large-scale magic damage!]

Wang Xiao was very satisfied with the academy. They were quite generous this time. The lord skill was even green quality.

The division of quality for skills was similar to that of items. The most ordinary skill was white quality.

The value of a lord’s skill was even higher than an item in some aspects.

After all, items were one-time use items.

However, lord skills could be used for a long time as long as one had enough magic power.

The rewards for the second and third place on the ranking were only white level lord skills.

Indeed, the academy gave many preferential treatment to the first place.

These three skills were all extremely useful to Wang Xiao.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xiao chose the [Strength Totem].

Wang Xiao was only an ordinary level one lord and did not have much magic power in his body.

If he used the [Blazing Meteor], it would probably squeeze out all the magic power in his body after only one or two times.

Wang Xiao gave up on the [Fountain of Life] immediately.

He only had one Snow Wolf now. Coupled with the fact that the Snow Wolf had the ability to quickly heal, the [Fountain of Life] was very useless to the current Wang Xiao.

The [Strength Totem] was the best choice.

After choosing the skill, Wang Xiao immediately used the last enhancement in the newbie gift bag on this skill.

The skill ball emitted a purple light that only Wang Xiao could see.

[Saint Beast Totem (Purple) (Lightning): Summon a totem with a lightning-type Saint Beast engraved on it. The totem covers an area of 10,000 meters. All soldiers inside will receive the enhancement of the Saint Beast. All attributes of the soldiers will increase by 500%. Attacks will deal lightning-type damage and slowly heal all soldiers!]

This made Wang Xiao’s eyes light up.

With this totem, the Snow Wolf could sweep through all the level two enemies.

At this moment, many people had gathered in the logistics department. They all looked enviously at the skill ball in Wang Xiao’s hand.

This was a reward that only the first place on the ranking could obtain. They wished they could snatch the skill ball from Wang Xiao.

“Hmph, is a beast tamer lord worthy of having such a good skill?”

Hearing the sour words around him, Wang Xiao was in a good mood.

After walking out of the logistics department, Wang Xiao found Chen Xue.

“I want to apply to the academy to participate in the secret realm trial.”

This shocked Chen Xue.

“You should know how dangerous the secret realm trial is. If you encounter enemies in your territory, you have to defeat them. There’s no way to retreat.”

If he connected to the Infinite Worlds normally, he could still protect his territory.

However, the secret realm trial forced him to go all out unless he could drag it out until the time limit ended.

Otherwise, once he failed, everything would be cleared and he would have to start from scratch.

“I just want to accumulate resources as soon as possible.”

Chen Xue wanted to continue dissuading him. After all, the talent of the beast tamer lord was really too poor.

Although she did not know how Wang Xiao obtained first place, she still believed that Wang Xiao’s strength was not enough to handle any secret realm.

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

Helpless, Chen Xue could only agree to Wang Xiao.

The opening of the secret realm required an application. After all, it consumed a lot of energy.

Soon, the two of them arrived at a secret realm in the academy.

If one wanted to expand their territory, other than using the magic crystal to connect to the Infinite Worlds to randomly choose a territory, the other way was to clear the secret realm.

The secret realm worlds varied in size.

They were divided into small, medium, large, and super large.

It was said that above super large, there was also a true secret realm that was so large it formed a huge world of its own.

However, this was not something the current Wang Xiao could come into contact with.

There were many secret realms in the academy, but most of them were below mid-sized.

If one wanted to enter a large secret realm or above, they could only do so in a proper university.

Chen Xue handed the key to the secret realm to Wang Xiao.

“Do your best. Don’t choose those secret realms that are too dangerous.”

She did not want the lord skill Wang Xiao had painstakingly obtained to be lost just because his territory had been broken through.

After receiving the key, Wang Xiao nodded and stepped into the teleportation door.

Suddenly, his vision blurred and he arrived at a huge square.

At this moment, many people were also choosing secret realms to challenge.

Other than that, many people had set up stalls in the square.

They were all exchanging the various resources they had obtained from the secret realm.

This place had transformed into a large resource trading market.
