Chapter 23 Brother, Don’t Lie to Yourself

The fallen guard wailed and turned into a pile of broken bones.

Every time it attacked Xu Yuan, it would be deflected.

If it could still use its brain, it would definitely be very puzzled and confused by this!

Xu Yuan got rid of it and continued to explore the depths of the secret realm. In the process, he threw out a row of Explosive Spheres and let them open a path for him.

Boom!

Boom!

He walked over.

None of the monsters could survive the impact of the Explosive Sphere!

Finally…

Xu Yuan saw the first boss of the Psychic Tide secret realm.

This thing was more than four meters tall and seemed to be stitched together from several corpses. It looked disgusting and terrifying. [Withered Intestine (Boss Elite)]

[Level: 40]

[Skill: Rotten Spit; Horizontal Sweep; Plague of Decay]

“Come and play!” This terrifying monster called Withered Intestine spoke in human language and strode towards Xu Yuan.

As it ran, it was like a flesh truck with increased horsepower. The fat on its body shook violently, making the ground rumble. Xu Yuan was ready, and he flicked his fingers. A ball of magic energy condensed between his fingers and slowly floated towards Withered Intestine.

Boom!

This big fellow was also blasted into the sky.

However, it did not die. It roared in midair and fell straight down.

Xu Yuan raised his head and aimed in its direction. Another Explosive Sphere flew over.

Bang!

Withered Intestine was like a huge balloon, blown into pieces by the blue spell energy, scattering into pieces of flesh and blood.

“F*ck!”

Xu Yuan hurriedly dodged to the back and was almost drenched by this disgusting thing.

After getting rid of it, Xu Yuan continued to fight in the secret realm. The subsequent monsters and bosses were all blown up by the Explosive Sphere.

If one couldn’t solve it, then two!

Soon, the Psychic Tide was cleared.

Xu Yuan happily put the loot back into his storage space and left the dungeon.

Outside the secret realm.

“Nightmare mode, all roles! Let’s have a physical examination first!” The person from before was still shouting loudly.

“Eh?”

When the archer saw Xu Yuan reappear, he couldn’t help but laugh. “How is it? You can’t clear it alone, right?”

Xu Yuan shook his head and replied, “I’m done with the normal mode. I’ll try the hard mode now.”

“Please stop joking?!” The archer cried out, “You’ve been in there for less than ten minutes and you’re done?! Who would believe that?!”

“I see that your level is not low either. Why don’t you join my group? Let’s call three more people and explore nightmare mode together! In nightmare mode, purple-grade items will be He came up and winked at Xu dropped Yuan.

Xu Yuan smiled politely and turned around to walk to a tent outside the secret realm.

“Hard mode,” he said to the people in the tent and handed over a magic gold card.

“Hard mode, 4,000. 1,000 as a deposit, so 5,000 in total.” The person swiped his card and took out a secret realm Key Stone filled with magic power and handed it to Xu Yuan.

To enter the secret realm, one needed to hold a Key Stone that was infused with magic power. [Psychic Tide] was a small secret realm, and its owner was a financial group in Spring City. One could enter only by spending money to buy a secret realm Key Stone from them.

After Xu Yuan received the hard mode Key Stone, he returned the exhausted normal mode Key Stone and took back the deposit.

“Brother, are you serious?” The archer was shocked.

“Just playing around,” Xu Yuan smiled and did not explain further. He turned around and entered the secret realm.

The hard mode was not much different from the normal mode, but the monsters were stronger and more concentrated.

Xu Yuan was still relying on the Explosive Sphere to sweep through the area. This time, the boss in the secret realm had to eat three Explosive Spheres before it could vent its anger. This time, among the loot, a purple skill scroll appeared. It was considered a good drop.

It was a pity.

Xu Yuan could not use it.

He left the secret realm and returned to the outside world.

“Nightmare mode, all roles! Entering the group first…F*ck!” The archer shouted halfway and was shocked by the sudden appearance of Xu Yuan.

He jogged over and sized up Xu Yuan. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “You definitely didn’t clear it, right?!”

The normal mode took about ten minutes.

As for hard mode, he came out in less than ten minutes!

He must have been scared out of his wits by the densely packed monsters.

“That’s not it. I cleared it,” Xu Yuan said, “I’m changing to nightmare mode now.”

“Brother!” The Archer’s face was serious as he said, “It’s fine to lie to your pals. Don’t lie to yourself too. It’s fine for me to be lied to by you, no big deal. But I hope you… Hey, hey, hey.” Xu Yuan walked around him speechlessly and returned to the tent.

“This time, I’d like nightmare mode.” Xu Yuan handed over the dried-up hard mode’s Key Stone. “Hiss-”

The archer widened his eyes. When the Key Stone was exhausted, it meant that he had cleared the stage!

Did this guy really solo hard mode?

Moreover, the time it took was even shorter than the normal mode.

The archer decided to leech onto Xu Yuan. He said, “Brother, there’s no need to buy the nightmare Key Stone. I have it here…”

He had used a month’s worth of living expenses to buy the nightmare mode Key Stone for [Psychic Tide].

However, he called for a whole night, but he still couldn’t gather enough people. In the tent, the merchant who sold the Key Stone also widened his eyes.

In ten minutes… he completed the hard mode? Could this kid wearing the [Shapeshifting Cloak] be a young expert from some big force?

He took the magic card that Xu Yuan had given him and swiped the money to be taken. Then, he took out a nightmare-mode Key Stone that was filled with magic power. “Hey, hey, hey!” The archer panicked.

“How can I use yours?” Xu Yuan turned around and smiled, “I’m going solo tonight. Let’s play together again in the future if there’s a chance to.”

His main purpose was to test his skills. He would not bring anyone else, let alone an outsider he did not know.

Under the archer’s resentful gaze, Xu Yuan headed toward the secret realm. “Move aside!”

Halfway there, a group of people blocked his way.

They rudely chased away the people who were asking to form a team near the entrance of the secret realm and shouted, “If you want to go in, wait outside first!”

“What’s going on?!” People were confused. “The Young Master of Righteousness Guild is inside and will be coming out soon.” The group of people blocking the entrance of the secret realm said.

“So be it!” The person outside the secret realm frowned and said unhappily, “Standing outside won’t affect him…”

“Don’t talk too much! If you keep talking, I’ll beat you up!” The people from the Righteousness Guild raised their fists and said unreasonably.

The Righteousness Guild wasn’t very powerful, but they were still strong enough to bully unspecialized players.

The people who were chased away knew that they could not afford to offend them, so they did not say anything else.

Xu Yuan wasn’t in a hurry to go in. He simply crossed his arms and waited outside.

About five minutes later, the light screen of the secret realm lit up, and several figures appeared from inside. “Young Master!”

The people who were blocking the way immediately went up to them, and their faces were filled with nervousness. The young man they called ‘Young Master’ was about twenty years old.

His face was pale and he looked around like a thief.

Behind him, Spatial Ripples were slowly forming.

Xu Yuan, who had his arms crossed, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

The effect of this skill seemed a little familiar!
