Trial Secret Realm
As he followed Yan Wuyue out of the academy, Zhou Mingrui experienced what it meant to be bullied by a dog when a tiger land on a field.
Whether it was the students or the teachers, those who were walking on the road all avoided Yan Wuyue as if they had seen the God of Plague.
However, Zhou Mingrui realized that Yan Wuyue did not even bother to look at them.
He thought, “This girl called Yan Wuyue didn’t care about those guys’ mockery at all. No matter how you look at it, her mental age didn’t seem to be a teenager.”
As he followed Yan Wuyue, Zhou Mingrui could clearly sense that the girl in front of him was not ordinary. She must have a story.
However, he didn’t ask any questions and just followed behind quietly.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a manor.
“Young Miss, you’re back.”
“The old master is waiting for you in the living room.”
As the door opened automatically, an old butler in a suit and leather shoes with a head full of silver hair respectfully greeted Yan Wuyue.
“Alright, Grandpa Wei.”
Yan Wuyue only nodded slightly, and then she walked in with Zhou Mingrui.
When he passed by the old butler, Zhou Mingrui felt a sharp aura by his side. He turned his head and realized that the source of the aura was the old butler.
Zhou Mingrui glanced at him and then shifted his gaze to a tree not far away. After a glance, he retracted his gaze and followed Yan Wuyue into the manor.
“Sit over here.”
When the door of the living room door was pushed open, a dignified and steady voice sounded.
Yan Wuyue didn’t say much. She went straight to the owner of the voice and sat down.
Zhou Mingrui took a look and saw a stern-looking middle-aged man with a square face. He was sitting on the sofa and sipping tea from a cup.
“This is your summoned spirit?”
After putting down his teacup, the middle-aged man looked at Zhou Mingrui.
“Yes, Dad.”
Yan Wuyue responded.
“Wuyue, why don’t you put aside signing a contract with this little skeleton? After a week, he will naturally return to the illusionary spirit world, and you can resummon.”
At this time, a luxuriously dressed young woman also walked in. She had a face that was 60% similar to Yan Wuyue’s, but she had a more graceful and luxurious aura and demeanor.
“No matter what price your dad has to pay, he will help you summon a better spirit. By then, with our family’s power, we can use a huge number of resources to help you fill in the gap!”
The woman sat next to Yan Wuyue and put her arm around her shoulder. “Even if you can’t summon a better one, Mom and Dad will take care of you for the rest of your life.”
Yan Wuyue gently pushed her mother’s arms away and then said solemnly, “Dad, Mom. Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. You don’t have to worry about me.”
…
“The room next door is yours. The trial will start tomorrow, and I need to prepare well, so please don’t disturb me.”
In the attic, Yan Wuyue closed the door after she finished speaking, leaving Zhou Mingrui with a dumbfounded look on his face.
“Tsk!”
Zhou Mingrui gritted his teeth and pushed open the door to his room. He walked into his room unhappily.
In the room, Yan Wuyue was preparing all kinds of combat supplies for tomorrow. Of course, they were basically what she needed.
In her assumption, the skeleton would be a burden for tomorrow’s trial, and she could only rely on herself.
However, when she was about to finish, Yan Wuyue paused and prepared a few life-saving supplies.
Since she was the one who had summoned him, she would send him back safely and end this fate.
The next day.
Thousands of new students gathered in the academy’s public square once again.
Beside them, on their shoulders, and in their arms, there were all kinds of summoned spirits, all of which had been obtained at the summoning ceremony yesterday.
“Look, that Skeleton Girl is here!”
Just as Yan Wuyue entered the square, a female voice was heard not far away.
Immediately, many gazes shifted to her. Almost no one paid attention to Zhou Mingrui, who was following behind her.
Yan Wuyue’s face was expressionless. All kinds of whispers were like a spring breeze. She didn’t care about these things at all.
“Alright, everyone, pay attention. The [Trial of Obstacles] is about to start. After you enter the trial secret realm, you must work together with your summoned spirits. Don’t be arrogant and face danger alone!”
“You must believe in your summoned spirit. It is your most loyal companion, your comrade!”
“If you encounter any life-threatening danger, the secret realm’s space will teleport you out directly, so you must treasure this trial opportunity.”
On the stage, the teacher’s voice resounded through the square with the help of the loudspeaker, but it did not affect the enthusiastic anticipation of the new students.
Soon, an old man walked up to the summoning platform with a cloud of pitch-black mist following him closely.
If one’s vision was good enough, they would find that the black mist was so dark that they couldn’t see through it, but there was some distorted starlight floating on the surface of the black mist.
“That’s the vice dean. I heard that his summoned spirit is Diamond grade. In the entire academy, only the dean and a few others are stronger than him!”
“Yeah, that’s a rare type of summoned spirit, the space spirit. Although its combat power isn’t that high, it’s famous for its strangeness!”
Upon hearing the conversation, Zhou Mingrui glanced at the space-type summoned spirit.
“This feeling is similar to the roc I saw before. The only difference is that the space fluctuations are different.”
Rubbing his chin, Zhou Mingrui no longer looked over.
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
On the high platform, the vice dean who was about to summon the entrance of the secret realm was stunned because his summoned spirit had just sent him a thought.
His consciousness was filled with fear and panic as if he had seen the most terrifying natural enemy.
[I-I’m fine. It disappeared.]
The information that came from his consciousness made the vice dean scratch his head in confusion. He could only continue his preparations to summon the entrance to the secret realm.
Soon, an oval-shaped spatial gate appeared in front of the vice dean.
“Alright, after you step into the teleportation circle, you will be sent directly to a random location in the secret realm. I hope you can work hard to pass the trial!”
As soon as the teacher finished speaking, the students began to step into the portal in an orderly manner and disappeared from the square.
“Don’t run around later. You must follow me closely!”
When it was Yan Wuyue’s turn, she turned to Zhou Mingrui and gave him some instructions, but the latter just shrugged his shoulders and didn’t answer.
Seeing this, Yan Wuyue frowned slightly, but then she turned around and walked into the portal.
After Yan Wuyue disappeared, Zhou Mingrui strode into the portal leisurely.
After an instant of darkness, Zhou Mingrui quickly realized that he was in an environment similar to an ancient forest.
The people around him had already disappeared, leaving him alone.
