In various corners of a vast dense forest, many competitors had already appeared one after another.

Most of them were freshmen in this year's military training, and they had been transported individually into the Secret Realm.

Currently, their primary task was to find their teammates and start preparing for the upcoming battle.

If left alone, it was easy to become a target for others.

It can be said that this environment truly tests the combat skills of a Professional.

In such an environment, finding teammates while avoiding exposure is somewhat challenging.

Besides the freshmen, those challengers outside of the military training were also gradually entering the Secret Realm.

"The visibility in this place is really frustrating..."

Zhang Zihao appeared under a giant tree, looking around with a displeased expression.

"It's better to complete the task quickly..."

Zhang Zihao closed his eyes, raised his index finger, placing it in front of his chest and lifting it to between his eyes, muttering under his breath.

If anyone with some knowledge of Demon Gods had seen it, they would certainly recognize what gesture Zhang Zihao was performing at the moment...

This was the prayer gesture for Siring Demon Gods, a common gesture followers would perform when executing commands from their lord.

After completing the gesture, Zhang Zihao opened his eyes and glanced around, quickly furrowing his brow.

"Tsk... it's Tao Jun over there..."

As a follower of Siring, Zhang Zihao had a deep loathing for Tao Jun.

For those indulging in enjoyment and reckless, unorderly propagation, followers of Siring Demon God like Tao Jun, who was lifeless and part of the calamity crowd, indeed were rare and utterly unattractive existences.

"Forget it, the task is urgent, I still need to find Niu Zhen and the others..."

Zhang Zihao shook his head unwillingly but moved towards where Tao Jun was.

This time, there were three major Demon Gods teaming up with a top-tier Demon Monarch, he couldn't believe they couldn't kill a mere Second-Turn Professional.

And he, after completing this task, could directly gain Demon Monarch Level Power!

Given his age, aiming for the Demon God Realm in the future was certainly not entirely impossible...

After all, the transition from Demon Monarch to the Demon God Realm only required sufficient accumulation, unlike humans where those who become Strongest are often people of great luck, not just accumulation.

Although becoming a Demon Monarch meant completely abandoning human identity, Zhang Zihao, being a dog of the Demon God, had long been prepared for this.

He could say he has no psychological burden at all.

...

"Should I pay more attention to the little animals around me?"

Li Fei had also entered the dense forest, looking around vigilantly.

Before she entered the Secret Realm, Lin Ye sent her a message reminding her to pay special attention to the small animals around.

However, Lin Ye did not provide any explanation as to why she had to do this.

But since Lin Ye said so, she undoubtedly complied, knowing very well that Lin Ye had his reasons.

Li Fei had absolute trust in Lin Ye.

Thus, while traversing the forest, she paid extra attention to any movement around her.

...

The short ten minutes quickly passed.

And within the Secret Realm, battles had silently begun in the dense forest.

Some had already experienced their first encounter battle before even finding an opponent.

For the moment, there hadn't been any eliminations; unless one's strength was overwhelmingly superior, most people did not seek deadly fights right at the start of a battle.

So even after encountering one or two competitors, most chose to avoid fighting after briefly gauging the opponent's strength.

The vast majority of participants remained wise enough not to risk life and limb for immediate gains and losses.

After all, it has just only begun.

Some people had already found their teammates under such circumstances.

For example, Lin Ye.

"Boss! I didn't expect to run into you here!"

A robust, dark-skinned young man greeted Lin Ye excitedly.

This robust young man was actually Hook.

From high school graduation, participating in guild training to university enrollment, and military training over this period, his transformation was quite significant.

To say he had completely shed his youthfulness would be impossible, but Hook's Essence, Qi, and Spirit now evidently more closely resembled those of a real Professional than when he was in Shan City.

Although he still bore the status of a student, Hook was aligning himself more with a qualified Professional.

Given time, he would surely become a Professional capable of standing alone.

Unlike before, when following Lin Ye to the Secret Realm, he was somewhat timid, a little Warrior.

"Calm down, we still need to find more teammates..." Lin Ye stated calmly.

In this jungle, we don't know how many staff are patrolling and monitoring, and they definitely carry devices to detect Athlete badges.

In such an environment, Lin Ye didn't want to employ too many secret abilities.

Because it was unsure exactly when he might expose his trump card.

Besides, in this Secret Realm, the amount of Healing is also factored into the score.

It can be said, with Lin Ye's Healing ability, he could rely on Healing amount alone to maintain a top ten position, even first place, wasn't too difficult.

After all, Healing was indeed Lin Ye's biggest trump card.

Without Healing Techniques, he couldn't have reached his current stature.

"Excellent! I've already agreed with Zhao Xue Ming and Li Feng to gather at this coordinate point immediately after entering the Secret Realm!"

Hook promptly declared.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye nodded; this was indeed a good plan.

From a glance, this jungle Secret Realm certainly lacked features that could help differentiate locations.

However, fortunately, coordinates were still effective.

It was evident Hook and his friends had set coordinates randomly for gathering; they didn't know how far the coordinates were or if there was any danger...

But even filled with unknowns, it was better than wandering like a headless fly in the dense forest.

Hook was a bit anxious, meeting Lin Ye at the start; he was extremely stable...

However, Zhao Xue Ming and Li Feng were still nowhere to be seen.

As friends, Hook was quite anxious now and wanted to locate them as soon as possible.
