Chapter 132: The Secret Realm of Demon Capital Academy
Looking at the two Five-leaf Essences in the sky, Wang Xu's face stiffened, and he clutched his chest, feeling as if his heart was being ripped apart.
How could this be?! After decades of no Five-leaf Essences appearing, two suddenly appeared today. What was going on?!
The rest of the teachers and students also gradually regained their senses. After a moment of silence, the entire crowd erupted once again.
"Another Five-leaf Essence?"
"Really? Did the Secret Realm glitch?"
"Right, it must have glitched. Otherwise, how could there be two Five-leaf Essences!"
...
Xia Yue, Zhang Tai, and others were also stunned. Everyone exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.
Previously, when He Yanan mentioned the Five-leaf Essence, everyone indeed had some thoughts. But after seeing the drop rates of the Three or Four-leaf Essences, everyone from Demon Capital had given up the idea.
However, now, not only did the Five-leaf Essence appear, but there were two!
Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong, both actually obtained Five-leaf Essences!
If Su Yuan had gotten a Four-leaf Essence, even the best Four-leaf Essence, everyone from Demon Capital, who was always surprised by this guy, would have been somewhat prepared.
But with Su Yuan getting the Five-leaf Essence, everyone suddenly felt that their Three or Four-leaf Essences were no longer appealing...
At the edge of the barrier, the bespectacled male teacher responsible for recording finally announced the names of the two essences:
"Five-leaf Essence: Three-legged Golden Crow!"
"Five-leaf Essence: Xuanming Ice Soul!"
Xuanming Ice Soul?
Su Yuan's heart fluttered slightly, looking up at the cold beast beside the Three-legged Golden Crow. That was probably an Essence of an Epic Star Beast relegated.
At this moment, before Su Yuan's eyes could adjust, Wang Xu from South Pole Academy suddenly appeared in front of him.
Wang Xu looked at the two of them, smiling, and asked: "Dear students, would you be willing to provide these two Star Cards to South Pole Academy?
We will offer extremely generous items in exchange, including a real Purple Card and many other precious resources!"
As he spoke, Wang Xu's hand flashed, and two Star Cards emitting a mysterious purple light appeared in his hand.
"If you agree to the exchange, these two Purple Cards will be yours immediately!" Wang Xu waved the two Purple Cards in front of Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.
Two real Purple Cards!
All eyes around widened at the sight. Even Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
However, almost immediately, Su Yuan calmed down.
Firstly, even with a real Purple Card, he couldn't use it now. It would take at least one or two more years to advance to Gold Level.
Secondly, enhancement-type Star Cards, especially rare ones, were far more valuable than regular offensive, defensive, or healing Star Cards!
The fact that this South Pole Academy teacher proposed using another Purple Card to exchange for the currently restricted, Blue Grade "Great Sun Burning Body Technique" itself explained this point.
Luo Bingtong seemed a bit confused about what Wang Xu had said.
Su Yuan stepped forward slightly and said: "Teacher, I'm sorry, but we have already embedded that Star Card."
"Won't you reconsider? The terms are negotiable..."
Wang Xu clearly didn't believe it and was about to say more when a golden flash appeared nearby. He Yanan had already stepped forward to block Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong.
"Teacher Wang, these Essences were obtained by our two students in accordance with the rules and by their own skills from the Ten Thousand Demon Sleeping Ground. Surely you won't force them to surrender them?" He Yanan said with a smile.
"Haha, Teacher He, what you said, how could that be? I just sincerely wanted to trade two Purple Cards with them."
He Yanan crossed her arms, glanced at the Purple Cards in Wang Xu's hand, and said with a smile: "It seems that my two students are not willing to exchange now?"
"Hmm, if that's the case, then let it be."
Wang Xu saw He Yanan approached and knew there was no chance. He sighed inwardly, put away the Purple Cards, and turned to leave.
He Yanan turned to Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong and advised: "Remember, these two Star Cards are very valuable. Don't be fooled by others, no matter what good things they offer!"
Wang Xu's face darkened as he walked away.
How can this be considered fooling?!
Su Yuan nodded: "Rest assured, Teacher Xiao He, I have indeed embedded it."
Luo Bingtong also nodded.
He Yanan smiled: "That's good, come back with me first."
"Okay!"

Watching Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong follow He Yanan back to the team, the experts from the various academies couldn't help but feel complicated.
"The gap is widening..." Chen Jiujun looked at Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong and sighed inwardly.
Originally, he thought he was fortunate to get a Thunder-type Four-leaf Essence and greatly increase his strength. But then Su Yuan directly got a Five-leaf...
Ling Long's face beside him was even more unpleasant.
The path of the strong, advance or retreat!
Today, he fell behind. To catch up later, who knew how much more effort it would take?
It would be good if effort could make up for it. The fear was that no matter how much effort was put in, he couldn't catch up!
After all, you are progressing, but others are also progressing.
Not only Ling Long and Chen Jiujun felt this, but Zhou Hao, Zheng Chun, and other geniuses defeated by Su Yuan also felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
In the competitions, even together, they couldn't beat him.
Now, in the search for Essence, a bunch of Three or Four-leaf Essences still wasn't enough compared to Su Yuan's Five-leaf Three-legged Golden Crow.
...
"Su Yuan, Bing Tong, you guys managed to get a Five-leaf Essence, that's amazing!" Lu Yingying exclaimed as Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong returned.
Shang Baiyu and others also expressed their amazement and congratulations.
However, despite the amazement, no one harbored resentment or jealousy towards the Five-leaf Essences Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong obtained.
After all, in their eyes, although the Star Cards formed by Five-leaf Essences were strong, at best they were top-tier Blue Cards.
Their Three or Four-leaf Essence Blue Cards might be weaker, but not drastically different.
Of course, if the Demon Capital people knew these cards could be upgraded to Purple, they wouldn't take it so lightly...
Xiang Dingqian walked up to Su Yuan, eyes flickering with excitement: "I knew you might get a Five-leaf Essence!"
"Just lucky," Su Yuan shook his head slightly.
In the Dormant Land, he didn't show anything special, and the Three-legged Golden Crow Essence came to him on its own.
Not only that, he also encountered quite a few Three or Four-leaf Essences, which went relatively smoothly and could only be chalked up to luck.
Whatever the reason, the Five-leaf Essence was in hand, so there was no need to delve into it...
The Demon Capital crowd exchanged thoughts, and Su Yuan learned about the Essences obtained by Xiang Dingqian, Zhang Tai, and others, nodding inwardly.
It seemed that most of the essences obtained suited their needs.
He Yanan, still thrilled, smiled at them: "You all did well in the Ten Thousand Demon Sleeping Ground. This time, the results are the best since South Pole Academy opened the Secret Realm to the Southeast Region academies!"
Now, Demon Capital Academy had 2 Five-leaf, 3 Four-leaf, and 6 Three-leaf essences.
Since the opening of the Ten Thousand Demon Sleeping Ground, there had never been two Five-leaf Essences at once!
This alone made it a historical peak for Demon Capital Academy.
"Next is the turn for South Pole Academy (fifth wave), East Pole Academy, and South Pole Academy (sixth wave), right?"
"Yes, the South Pole Academy students have already entered for the fifth wave."
Even though Demon Capital Academy had finished, the Secret Realm continued, and they had to wait for everyone to go through before leaving.
Before entering the Secret Realm, everyone from Demon Capital was anxious, but now they emerged relaxed.
Xia Yue abruptly asked: "Teacher, Ten Thousand Demon Sleeping Ground is the most famous Secret Realm of South Pole Academy. What's the most famous Secret Realm of Demon Capital Academy?"
Hearing Xia Yue's question, everyone looked over.
He Yanan smiled: "Good question. For an academy, Secret Realms are as important as faculty and Star Cards, extremely precious resources.
Every top university has at least one Secret Realm, and our Demon Capital Academy has exploration rights to several.
The most famous... is the Land of Sword Relics!"
"Land of Sword Relics?"
"That's right. During the human-demon wars, to drive out Star Beasts and establish the Great Flame Country, we fought numerous large battles with major demon clans.
During this time, countless strong warriors fell, and countless divine weapons were lost.
After the establishment of the Great Flame Country, an unparalleled strong warrior opened a Secret Realm and, using supreme divine skills, recalled all the lost divine weapons from those battles.
When Demon Capital was founded, this Secret Realm was relocated here, and our academy has exploration rights."
"Divine weapons lost during the human-demon wars?" Zhang Tai was thrilled. "Wouldn't there be many ancient divine weapons in there?"
"Of course. For instance, one of our academy's treasures, the Nine Palace Demon Sealing Map, originally came from the Land of Sword Relics."
Demon Capital Academy's treasure, the Nine Palace Demon Sealing Map?
Su Yuan and the others were truly shocked.
Although they didn't know exactly what the Nine Palace Demon Sealing Map was, being mentioned alongside the Soul Comforting Mysterious Burial Tablet meant it had to be a Legendary Grade Star Device!
This meant that the Land of Sword Relics could produce Legendary Star Devices.
Although highly improbable, it still inspired great interest among the Demon Capital Academy crowd.
