After the meal, his mother was about to clear the dishes when Fang Yuan held her hand.

“Mom, I want to tell you something.”

His mother smiled and said, “Silly child, there’s no rush. I’ll go wash the dishes first and you watch TV for a while. We’ll talk about it when I come back.”

Since his mother had already said this, Fang Yuan did not continue to hold her back. Instead, he quietly watched her carry the dishes into the kitchen.

After watching TV for a while, his mother still had not come out.

He gently came to the kitchen door and saw his mother standing in front of the sink, seemingly wiping away her tears.

“Mom…” Fang Yuan thought to himself. His mother probably knew what he wanted to say. Nobody would know about the son better than a mother.

“Fang Yuan, will you be like your father, who has never returned?”

“No, I will definitely come back.” Fang Yuan placed his hand on his mother’s shoulder.

He couldn’t say anything either. He could only quietly accompany his mother by the side.

The next day, before dawn, Fang Yuan set off on his gryphon. This time, he was going to challenge the real Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

The teacher and the principal were standing at the school gate, waiting for Fang Yuan.

“Are you ready, Fang Yuan?”

“Yes, we can set off at any time.”

Fang Yuan nodded. His face was filled with both sadness and excitement.

There was an obelisk standing in the open space of the school. This obelisk was not as colorful as the other towers, but was transparent.

“Fang Yuan, take this.”

The principal threw a arcane realm map to Fang Yuan.

[ Ding! Arcane realm map detected. Grade: Legendary ]

[ Do you want to proceed with 100 times increase? ]

[ Host can choose from the following increase methods. ]

[ First, give up the 100 times increase, and obtain the legendary arcane realm map. ]

[ Second, proceed with 100 times increase in time, and obtain the legendary arcane realm map. ]

[ Third, proceed with 100 times increase in the grade of reward, and obtain the legendary arcane realm map. ]

“The Heavenly Secret Pavilion’s arcane realm can only be entered for 10 hours at a time. You will be challenging from black iron grade to legendary grade,” the principal said. “You don’t have to worry. As long as you reach pass through Heavenly Secret Pavilion within a month, you will become the strongest trainer in the world. After that, it won’t be too late for you to go to the demon world.”

10 hours?

Although the reward of a hundred times increase was very tempting, Fang Yuan wanted to complete the challenge of Heavenly Secret Pavilion as soon as possible.

“Option two, extend the time by a hundred times.”

The blueprint flickered with light. Fang Yuan walked to the front of the obelisk, raised the blueprint, and then disappeared from the crowd.

“With Fang Yuan’s current strength, he should be able to challenge the peak of star brilliance, right?” Ouyang Xinglan said worriedly.

“Why? Are you afraid that Fang Yuan will beat you up when he comes out? Who told you to be so strict with Fang Yuan?” Sima Kaile said with a smile.

The principal sat down in front of the obelisk, as if he was waiting for Fang Yuan to come out.

[ Ding! Duplicate opening ]

After entering the arcane realm, what entered Fang Yuan’s sight was a tower that towered into the clouds. The surroundings were barren, as if he was in an illusion.

Fang Yuan walked up the long steps to the front door of Heavenly Secret Pavilion. He did not encounter any traps as he had imagined.

The door opened directly.

The moment he entered the tower, the door behind him closed automatically.

Fang Yuan walked back and tried to open the door, but it didn’t move at all.

It seemed that the test was about to begin. As he walked forward step by step, he didn’t have a clue whether it would be heaven or hell.

Fang Yuan took a deep breath and felt the pet space. Fortunately, he was still connected to the pet beasts.

He thought to himself, “Since I’m here, I’ll just take it as it is.” He pushed his wild thoughts out of his mind and carefully observed the situation in the tower.

In the center of this level of the tower, there was an arena. Other than that, there was nothing else.

Moreover, other than the door behind him, there was no exit. If he was going to challenge, what about the stairs to the second floor?

Fang Yuan’s brows were tightly knitted. He was now in a dilemma and could only walk towards the center of the arena.

As he approached the arena step by step, suddenly, a strange feeling surrounded him.

At this moment, a scene appeared in Fang Yuan’s mind.

The scene was at Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Countless trainers had challenged each other here. All sorts of divine pet beasts and powerful skills were attacking each other on the stage.

Countless trainers had come here, and countless trainers had fallen here.

Heavenly Secret Pavilion wasn’t a good place to obtain better equipment, but a real path to becoming stronger.

Suddenly, Fang Yuan opened his eyes. The strange feeling just now had disappeared. Now, what he saw was the empty first floor and the arena.

At some point in time, an old man in white stood in the arena.

He was somewhat similar to the old man among the guardians of the arcane realm, but he looked more energetic. His body was also surrounded by a mysterious white light.

The old man looked at Fang Yuan up and down. He smiled and stroked his long beard, saying, “You’re the newcomer who came to challenge Heavenly Secret Pavilion? You don’t look old.”

Fang Yuan looked at the old man in front of him, then bowed and said politely, “I’m a student of the Huang group of Heavenly Secret Pavilion. My name is Fang Yuan. I wonder how the challenge at Heavenly Secret Pavilion is like… to pass the trial?”

After thinking for a long time, Fang Yuan finally thought of such a description.

The old man smiled slightly. “Well mannered, not bad. Nowadays, it’s rare to see a trainer with such a good temper like you.”

“Do you understand the battle just now?” he old man said and then waved his hand. The scene of countless trainers fighting against each other appeared in front of Fang Yuan’s eyes again.

“This is…” Fang Yuan was a little dumbfounded and confused.

Fang Yuan didn’t understand what the old man was doing. He was only here to challenge Heavenly Secret Pavilion. Why did he want to show him the battle between the trainers?

“Young man, what you saw just now was not an illusion. It actually happened.” The old man closed his eyes, it was as if he was recalling the past. “These are the trainers who have entered the pavilion of divination for thousands of years in an attempt to challenge the limits. Heavenly Secret Pavilion will issue a warning to every trainer who enters the challenge to let them know that this is not a game.”

Fang Yuan actually did not care about the old man’s description at all. What he was concerned about was another problem.

“How should I move up? If you want to fight, then start immediately. I’m in a hurry.”

The old man always had a calm and smiling expression.

“Young man, don’t be too hasty. Before challenging Heavenly Secret Pavilion, I have to tell you something that will affect your future growth.”

Hearing this explanation by the old man, Fang Yuan was finally willing to calm down.

He already had a star brilliance intermediate pet beast, so he couldn’t waste any more time here.

“Think about the trainers you met along the way. What kind of connection do they have with pet beasts?”

“Connection?” Fang Yuan was puzzled.
