Chapter 155: The End of the Secret Realm, Bald Man's Bold Move
Chapter 155: The End of the Secret Realm, Bald Man's Bold Move
Until Chen Ye left the arena, it took a while for the secret realm to restore it.
The surrounding audience was only now gradually coming back to their senses.
Then.
The entire coliseum became noisy, with everyone discussing fervently.
"That fight just now... were those even humans?"
"These two monsters, they're terrifying!"
"So, the Martial God actually admitted defeat? The bald guy won?"
"Unbelievable! The energy those two unleashed is more powerful than a nuclear bomb!"
"With such strength, even the legendary Beast King wouldn't be a threat, right?"
"There's no suspense for the champion of this year's Secret Realm competition!"
"Yeah, that woman Qin doesn't stand a chance against the bald guy."
"This year's top three in the Secret Realm are definitely from the Xia Nation."
...
The battle between Chen Ye and the Martial God had a massive impact!
The Martial God was fine since he had long been a famous powerhouse.
Even though the strength he showcased tonight shocked everyone, they could barely accept it.
But Chen Ye once again left everyone in disbelief.
Now, many people regretted that upon leaving the secret realm, they would lose their memories, preventing them from remembering that powerful bald man...
Domestic audiences even began to call Chen Ye "Chen Invincible"!!
The noisy night passed.
At dawn.
The arena matches resumed.
The top three contestants had been decided.
Today, the champion would be determined!
In truth, everyone already had a clear idea of who the champion might be...
However, the fight between Qin Muyin and the bald guy was still intriguing to many.
People were curious whether Ms. Qin's superpower could withstand the bald guy's attack.
Very soon.
Chen Ye received a prompt.
The first match would be between him and Qin Muyin.
The winner would then face Ba Liming. If they won again, they'd be crowned champion!
Afterward, the two losers would compete for second and third place.
This would be the smooth scenario.
A more complicated situation would be if the winner lost to Ba Liming, and Ba Liming in turn lost to the other contestant, creating a cycle... Though the chance of that happening was slim, if it did, they'd simply redo the match.
Truth be told.
Chen Ye initially planned to forfeit the match and give up the fight for the championship.
He wanted to keep the secret of his bald-headed demon persona hidden, not wanting too much attention on himself.
But given the situation, the secret realm no longer had any opponents for him and directly opened a portal, signaling for him to enter.
It seemed there were only three contestants left, so there was no need for further matchmaking.
Once he stepped into the ring.
Chen Ye noticed that Qin Muyin immediately activated her telekinetic shield and flew into the air, hovering there...
It was obvious that she was afraid he'd use the same embarrassing trick as before!
Seeing Qin Muyin's stance, as if facing a great enemy, Chen Ye couldn't help but laugh and suddenly felt like teasing the top domestic fighter.
"Captain Qin, I remember you saying in the palace that when you met me in the ring, you'd teach me a lesson?"
Chen Ye smiled and said, "Now I'm here. How do you plan to teach me that lesson?"
Hearing this.
Qin Muyin was so angry she almost fell out of the sky...
Just as she was about to respond, suddenly, a loud boom erupted from the arena!
"Boom!"
The entire gigantic arena shattered in an instant!
Countless rocks flew into the air.
A figure leapt from the debris, rushing toward the airborne Qin Muyin like lightning.
Fast!
Too fast!
Even though Qin Muyin had been prepared, she didn't have time to dodge.
She could only muster all her strength, unleashing the full power of her telekinesis.
"Buzz!"
The entire coliseum trembled.
The massive telekinetic force, like a towering mountain, pressed down on Chen Ye, trying to stop him from getting closer.
At the same time, a deep green telekinetic shield lit up around Qin Muyin, enveloping her.
Unfortunately, Chen Ye's momentum was too strong.
Before his momentum faded, even if Qin Muyin's telekinesis could move mountains, it couldn't stop Chen Ye from approaching.
It was like a person could hold a bullet in their hand easily, but once that bullet was fired from a gun, no human body could stop it.
Chen Ye charged forward without resistance.
In the blink of an eye.
He was right in front of Qin Muyin.
Then.
He raised his fist...
"Crack!"
Qin Muyin's telekinetic shield shattered like glass in front of Chen Ye's fist.
Then, Chen Ye's fist continued to move closer to her face...
At that moment, Qin Muyin truly felt the presence of death enveloping her!
The girl's heroic face turned pale with fear.
Her beautiful, large eyes widened in disbelief, as if she couldn't comprehend how she had come so close to death...
Then, Qin Muyin closed her eyes.
A single tear flowed from the corner of her eye.
She wasn't crying out of fear of death, but because there were still wishes she hadn't fulfilled.
In the next moment.
A gentle breeze from Chen Ye's fist blew against her face, lifting her bangs, revealing her determined yet delicate face.
Then, Qin Muyin felt a warm finger gently wipe away her tear...
She opened her eyes in confusion, only to see that Chen Ye had already returned to the arena, smiling at her.
"Captain Qin, do your best... I forfeit!"
Chen Ye shouted.
A portal appeared, and without hesitation, he turned and left.
He left behind a stunned Qin Muyin, staring blankly in the air...
...
The audience was also dumbfounded.
No one expected the bald man to give up when he was on the verge of victory.
Soon after, everyone understood why Chen Ye made such a choice.
He likely didn't want to win the championship, so as not to draw too much attention! It would make it harder to stay hidden once he left.
Only a few strong individuals noticed Chen Ye's act of wiping away Qin Muyin's tear...
On a rooftop.
Seeing Chen Ye's bold move, the Martial God burst into laughter.
One of his Black subordinates couldn't help but ask, "Your Excellency, did you discover something amusing?"
The Martial God laughed and revealed a massive secret: "Each year, the champion of the Secret Realm is allowed to retain their memory. They just can't share any details about the Secret Realm with others!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.
Then, they quickly understood why the Martial God was laughing.
According to their investigation, Qin Muyin from the Xia Nation was a strong-willed, obsessive woman.
That bald man dared to provoke her like that, even teasing her. When Qin Muyin leaves the Secret Realm with her memory intact, won't there be some drama?
It's likely the bald man didn't know that the champion of the Secret Realm has such a perk, which is why he acted so boldly.
How interesting!
...
Very quickly.
The arena was once again restored by the secret realm. The second championship match was about to begin.
This time, it was Ba Liming versus Qin Muyin.
Facing his old rival, Ba Liming laughed heartily: "Captain Qin, I, Old Ba, admit I'm not your match. It's hard enough to even get close to you, so let's just not fight!"
With those words.
Ba Liming cheerfully conceded and left the arena.
Thus.
The champion of this year's Secret Realm competition was easily determined:
Qin Muyin from Xia Nation!!
The members of the enforcement team, upon hearing the news, cheered loudly in excitement.
Each member of the champion team would receive 330 potential points!
With this potential, their strength would surely rise to the next level.
Only Qin Muyin remained calm, her delicate face showing no trace of joy.
It was unclear whether this was because the championship came too easily, or because of Chen Ye...
...
After the champion was declared.
The second and third places still had to be determined.
Chen Ye and Ba Liming went up against each other again.
Ba Liming, hoping to see the gap in strength, asked Chen Ye not to hold back.
To his surprise, Chen Ye didn't even want to fight his senior, and he simply conceded...
As soon as Chen Ye left the arena.
It marked the end of this year's Secret Realm competition.
All global participants received a simultaneous notification:
[The Secret Realm competition has ended...]
[The champions are: Qin Muyin's team from Xia Nation.]
[The runners-up are: Ba Liming's team from Xia Nation.]
[The third-place team is led by Lu Xun from Xia Nation.]
Many people, upon hearing this, realized that the top three teams in this year's Secret Realm were all from Xia Nation.
As for the third-place winner, it was naturally the headmaster of Wuhan University, Principal Lu.
If contributions were taken into account, Wuhan University's team making it to the top three was all thanks to Chen Ye.
Obviously, the results were not based on contribution.
At the beginning of the secret realm, when registering the team's details, it was Principal Lu who handled the documentation, so the secret realm recorded his name as the team leader.
This arrangement was actually better.
Chen Ye was genuinely worried that if the results were based on contributions, his name would be listed, and then there'd be no way to avoid scrutiny.
He'd definitely be closely examined under a magnifying glass...
[Attention: The Secret Realm will close in 19 hours.]
Everyone received another notification.
It was already noon, so 19 hours would take them until the next morning.
This meant everyone could stay one more night in the secret realm...
Next.
Everyone began visiting each other's places.
Many gathered together to discuss this year's Secret Realm martial arts tournament.
If anything, it was definitely exciting!
After all, an extraordinary dark horse had emerged!!
Unfortunately, everyone would lose their memories upon leaving the Secret Realm, so no matter how exciting it was, they wouldn't remember.
That night.
A special guest came to House 168.
It was a white woman.
Her name was Alice.
"I'm here on behalf of the Martial God to convey a message to Mr. Chen Ye."
Alice spoke in Chinese, though it wasn't very fluent and somewhat awkward, but everyone could still understand her.
Chen Ye was stunned, stood up, and asked, "What does Senior Martial God want to say to me?"
Alice smiled at Chen Ye: "The Martial God asked me to inform you that the winner of the Secret Realm championship is allowed to retain their memories. It's an extra benefit for the champion..."
After dropping this bombshell.
Alice left.
Chen Ye was frozen for a moment, then, as if realizing something, his expression instantly changed.
The others' faces also changed...
"Damn!!"
Cao Yu shouted: "Weren't we told everyone would lose their memories? But the champion can keep theirs? What kind of trick is this? This is such a scam!"
Zhao Zheng: "So, that means Ms. Qin will know all of my senior brother's secrets?"
"She... she wouldn't intentionally leak them, would she?" Ren Qianqian added nervously.
Although Tang Zichen didn't say anything, her face paled.
She knew very well that Chen Ye had gone to great lengths to keep his secrets.
It had to be said.
The Martial God was truly mischievous!
He sent his subordinate to deliver the message but deliberately left out the most crucial information, shocking everyone.
Even Principal Lu and the others furrowed their brows deeply.
Old Liu hesitated and said, "Captain Qin is a very patriotic person. She knows how important it is for our nation to have someone as strong as Chen Ye, so she probably won't leak his secrets, right?"
Everyone agreed with Old Liu's words.
Based on Qin Muyin's past behavior, she was indeed a patriotic person and not a selfish or malicious person.
However.
Relying on someone else was inherently unreliable.
"We underestimated things!" Principal Lu said. "Had we known the champion could keep their memory, we shouldn't have let you compete."
"That Martial God is such a trickster!" Ren Qianqian fumed. "Telling us this now... I bet he did it on purpose, just to keep us awake all night."
In fact.
The Martial God only wanted to keep Chen Ye up all night.
After all, Chen Ye had severely injured him during their battle, and it would take him months to recover.
Everyone else from Wuhan University was just caught in the crossfire...
"There's no need to worry too much," Chen Ye sighed. "If she really wants to reveal my secret, then so be it! Worst case scenario, I'll just make it public that I'm an S1 talent holder. After that, I'll stay at school like the class monitor and never leave."
Though he spoke lightly.
In reality, Chen Ye was still worried...
Worried that the secret of his bald-headed demon persona would be exposed.
Cao Yu hesitated for a moment before suddenly suggesting: "Old Chen, didn't you show mercy to Captain Qin earlier? Why don't you go talk to her now? I think she'd give you some leeway in return."
Hearing this.
Chen Ye could only smile wryly...
The next day.
Morning.
Everyone was sent back to the real world from the secret realm.
The calendar showed it was May 2nd.
This meant that only one day had passed in the real world.
When the top three names from the Secret Realm were announced, the entire world was in an uproar...
