Chapter 276: National Secret Realm—This Year’s Boss Is a Bald Guy!
Chapter 276: National Secret Realm—This Year's Boss Is a Bald Guy!
Name: Chen Ye
Physique: 11420
Spirit: 2206
Strength: 11420
Agility: 11420
Talent: Saitama Physique
Available Potential Points: 0
This was Chen Ye's current status.
After completing his daily training, his physique, strength, and agility each increased by 20 points. Two months of effort, combined with the ten days inside the Secret Realm, had led to his current attributes.
To be honest—
Even Chen Ye himself had no idea how strong he was anymore!
Today was May 1st.
The opening day of the National Secret Realm!
By 9 a.m., the members of Chen Ye's team had begun arriving.
President Chen was the first to arrive, followed by Zhao Huanhuan.
However, Zhao Huanhuan wasn't alone—she was accompanied by six highly skilled bodyguards, escorting her the entire way.
This alone showed just how much importance the higher-ups placed on her.
Rumor had it that one of Zhao Huanhuan's research projects had made a major breakthrough, drawing the attention of high-level officials.
As expected of an S5-ranked talent—truly extraordinary!
The higher-ups also supported her participation in the National Secret Realm.
After all, the potential gained inside could be allocated to her spirit attribute. While an increase in spirit wouldn't raise intelligence, it would enhance sensory perception, sharpen memory, and heighten overall awareness.
For a researcher, these were invaluable benefits.
Of course, the real reason they approved her participation was because she was going in with Chen Ye—plus, Qin Muyin was also in the group.
With those two leading, this was practically a guaranteed win!
If she had been part of another team, no matter how safe the National Secret Realm was, the higher-ups probably wouldn't have allowed her to take the risk.

Qin Muyin was the last to arrive, showing up past 10 a.m.
It wasn't because she was trying to make an entrance—she had genuinely been delayed by other matters and had to fly over at the last minute.
Many residents of Magic City had even witnessed Captain Qin soaring through the sky, solidifying the rumors circulating online.
Once everyone had gathered, there was the usual round of polite exchanges.
It was clear that the younger members—Zhao Zheng, Ren Qianqian, and the others—felt a bit nervous in Qin Muyin's presence.
Especially Cao Yu, who was usually the most talkative. Today, he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't even get a word out…
Even Old Liu, facing such a big figure like Qin Muyin, was slightly tense and refrained from speaking too much.
The only ones who remained completely at ease were President Chen, Chen Ye, Tang Zichen, and Zhao Huanhuan.
Noticing their unease, Qin Muyin smiled.
"There's no need to see me as the captain of the Enforcement Squad. Today, I'm just your teammate."
Hearing the word "teammate," Old Liu felt a sudden realization.
Not long after—
The Secret Realm opened.
Everyone stood together, preparing to enter.
President Chen stood at the front, followed by Chen Ye, then Tang Zichen, Zhao Huanhuan, Qin Muyin, Ren Qianqian, Shao Wenhui, Zhao Zheng, Old Liu, and Cao Yu…
In the next moment—
All of them vanished into thin air, entering the Secret Realm.
—
When they regained their vision—
They found themselves in a completely unfamiliar world.
It seemed like an endless plaza, vast and flat, devoid of any buildings or landmarks.
Soon, adventurer teams from all over who had entered the National Secret Realm began appearing around them.
"Where is this place?" Cao Yu was the first to ask. "Why is there nothing here besides us?"
No one answered.
Everyone was equally confused.
At that moment, Qin Muyin's expression suddenly changed.
Qin Muyin was the only one among them who retained memories of the National Secret Realm, so she immediately noticed that this time, things were different from the previous event.
Does the National Secret Realm change every time?
She frowned slightly at the thought.
Unfortunately, she had only won the championship once.
The War God who had dominated multiple championships would definitely know more about the situation!
Qin Muyin's eyes swept across the surrounding crowd. Seeing that all the faces around her were of East Asian descent, she immediately realized that this event was still operating in separate regional zones.
Since the regions were divided, she wouldn't be able to find the War God for now. Otherwise, she might have gone over to ask for some information.
Meanwhile, many people in the crowd had already noticed her presence.
After all, Qin Muyin was one of the most famous figures in the country.
"Look, it's Goddess Qin!"
"The people around her… they really aren't from the Enforcement Squad."
"Aren't those young ones students from Wu University? President Chen is here too?"
"So the rumors were true! Captain Qin really joined Wu University's team."
"With her on board, this team is beyond lucky."
"Yeah, they might just get carried all the way to the championship!"
Countless envious, jealous, and resentful gazes fell upon the members of Wu University's team.
Even Cao Yu and the others felt a little embarrassed under all the attention.
Suddenly, a change occurred!
Boom—!
A massive rumbling sound echoed through the area.
The ground at the front of the plaza began to rise, shifting and rearranging itself.
In just a few moments—
A colossal structure rapidly took shape before everyone's eyes.
It was a massive cylindrical building. Judging from the entrance, it resembled a coliseum—except its size was beyond imagination.
Endless Battlefield!
The name was engraved on the outer wall.
The next moment—
A system notification appeared, instructing all participants to enter the coliseum and claim their designated rooms.
Qin Muyin was momentarily stunned.
From this alone, the event seemed somewhat similar to the previous National Secret Realm.
A coliseum was still a coliseum—the only difference was that its name had changed from The Greatest Under Heaven to Endless Battlefield.
"There are arenas inside… so is this event purely a martial competition?"
"That's very possible. If it's a tournament-style event, maybe people can surrender or forfeit, which would ensure the safety of most participants."
"That makes sense. No wonder there are so few fatalities each year."
"Enough talking, let's head inside!"
The crowd surged forward, pouring into the coliseum.
With so many participants—
The entrance was instantly packed with people.
Fortunately, the main gate was over a hundred meters wide. If it had been any narrower, the sheer number of entrants would have caused massive congestion.
Once inside, everyone was once again shocked by the sheer size of the coliseum!
The interior was vast—comparable to a sprawling metropolis. At its center were dozens of square arenas. Someone took the time to count and found that there were exactly 64 arenas, each measuring over 300 square meters.
In one word—massive!
Upon entering, everyone's minds were automatically updated with their assigned room numbers.
Following the system's instructions, each team made their way to their designated lodging.
Inside the rooms, the facilities were just like those in the previous Secret Realm—fully equipped with everything they needed, including ten private rooms.
"From the outside, this place looked like it was barely 30 square meters… but inside, it's as spacious as a luxury villa! The National Secret Realm really is incredible."
Cao Yu exclaimed in amazement.
The others nodded in agreement.
