The words he didn't voice in his heart were; looking at this situation, it's likely that the majority of the Martial University students within the Secret Realm are more unfortunate than fortunate.
He did not know about others, but the God's Child of Great Xia was inside.
If something were to happen to Luo Yu, such an astonishingly talented personage, Shi Kai simply wouldn't be able to forgive himself, after all, it was him who dispatched Luo Yu into the Secret Realm.
And if Luo Tiance were to learn of such news, he'd probably pierce a hole through the sky.
At this moment, Qian Han spoke from far behind; "Principal Shi, please remain calm; things haven't reached the worst-case scenario yet."
"Xia Luo, isn't Brother Xia Luo inside? With him there, should they encounter any crisis, he should be able to withstand it for a while."
At this time, several voices of doubt spread around him.
"Qian Han, have you lost your mind? Those who were able to enter the Secret Realm previously were all Third Grade, and now that the Secret Realm has been upgraded to a First Rank Summit Secret Realm, what are they going to use to resist? They're practically walking into a deathtrap."
"Xia? There's no prominent family with the Xia surname in our country. Relying on this unknown nobody is even less reliable than depending on that young master from the Cao Family, after all, he is Cao Potian's monstrous younger brother."
Those who doubted Qian Han and the several powerful presences on the scene were all First Grade, so Qian Han dared not get angry; he humbly replied:
"Gentlemen, you may not be aware, but although little friend Xia Luo is not well-known and his grade is only Third Grade, his strength far surpasses mine and is unfathomable. Perhaps there will really be a pleasant surprise."
"Nonsense, Third Grade is Third Grade, no matter how strong, can he contend with First Grade? Especially since this Secret Realm is so perilous that even we First Rank dare not carelessly enter."
"Stop arguing, all First Ranks follow me to rush in. The children cannot be in trouble." Shi Kai made an immediate decision, now was not the time to care so much, saving lives was the priority.
Leading seven First Rank Martial Artists, he dove towards the temple gate.
"Boom!"
In the end, they were resolutely kept out, rebuffed and bounced back.
One person angrily said: "Even though it's already a First Rank Secret Realm, why can't we enter?"
Shi Kai's complexion drastically changed, realizing something.
"This is troublesome."
"An unknown entity has awakened inside, seizing control of the Secret Realm's power, preventing us from entering."
"Then how could the children have any chance to survive?" The many First Rankers were alarmingly shocked, for these students were the future elite talents.
Even if they could not match the true top monsters like Qin Qi, they were still Second Rank prodigies; Great Xia couldn't afford such losses.
They had thought that so many elites conquering a Third-Grade Secret Realm would be easy, never expecting to encounter such an unprecedented disaster.
Shi Kai roared upwards:
"Quickly contact the First Rank Summit strongmen from all the major provinces to come for support; the weak are of no use here."
"You all, assist me in attacking the Secret Realm. We must break in as soon as possible."
Shi Kai's back was cold with sweat, but he still issued one command after another somberly.
Inside the Secret Realm.
Black Tiger let out a light exclamation: "Tsk, seems like someone outside has noticed the problem and wants to come in to save you all, but in my dominion, it's not up to them whether they can enter."
The Bloodthirsty Slaughter Tiger's aura had peaked in ferocity, while the stalwart Emperor's Stone Sculpture was torn apart and shattered.
"Roar——"
With a fierce roar, Blood Tiger's claw cast a shadow across the sky, shattering the Emperor's Stone Sculpture with a single swipe, yet till its last moment, the sculpture had not launched any attack.
When the sculpture shattered, purple-gold Imperial Dragon Qi burst forth from inside, spreading around, restraining Blood Tiger, who struggled violently and let out a bloodthirsty roar.
A voice that was grand, majestic, yet soothing echoed. Cao Ritian and the others were astonished, feeling like the voice was a strange mixture of some unknown man's and Xia Luo's.
"Although thou hast shattered Our statue."
"Yet, We do not blame thee."
"All of thee are Our subjects; it is We who failed to protect you."
"Roar——"
The hostile Blood Tiger continued its restless agitation, but the wails of the tens of thousands of ferocious ghosts inside it quieted down a bit at this moment. The purple-gold dragon energy seemed to possess a unique Divine Power that could soothe Divine Spirits.
"What are you waiting for, kill it!" Mountain Lord bellowed in outrage.
The sound as mighty as the Hong Lv Big Bell echoed through the heavens.
"If you all harbor resentment in your hearts, then follow Us to slaughter this fiend and seek your revenge with your own hands!"
"Ao——"
Blood Tiger's body surface's hostile energy became unstable, wavering.
At this moment, the small figure on the ground suddenly opened his eyes. Luo Yu raised the Imperial Jade Seal, a trace of blood still at the corner of his lips, issuing a command:
"Tens of thousands of fierce souls."
"If not now, then when?"
