Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 155 - 130: Demon Association

Chapter 155: Chapter 130: Demon Association
After conquering a secret realm, you need to it, but the school doesn’t know whether you’ve conquered it.
"Excuse me, is this where I a secret realm conquest?" Li Cunxu asked uncertainly.
"Yes."
The staff member was a beautiful senior sister working part-time here to earn college credits.
The senior sister was a bit surprised; this young junior had actually conquered a secret realm.
Li Cunxu was only sixteen, while most freshman students were eighteen, making him seem a bit immature among them.
"May I ask which secret realm you conquered?"
"The Bronze Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm."
The senior sister’s pen suddenly paused, and she looked up, incredulous. "Is it the one where construction robots were infected by a data virus and turned into demolition robots?"
"Yeah."
The senior sister was still skeptical and confirmed again, "Is it the secret realm with a ton of demolition robots?"
"Yeah."
Li Cunxu took out the secret realm core shaped like an iron key.
The appearance of a secret realm core isn’t fixed; it can be a key, a keychain, a cube, or in any shape possible.
"Oh my god!"
The senior sister couldn’t help but exclaim. She had once attempted the Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm herself and knew how difficult it was to conquer it—filled with endless demolition robots, killing to the point of numbness.
You can’t fight head-on, and sneaking from the side was tried too, but it didn’t work.
The path to the underground city had multiple obstacles: sneaking wasn’t possible due to electronic radars, and even with electronic shielding clothing, it didn’t work. There was a segment with a weight-sensing scale, and anything invisible walking over it would show an anomaly, alerting the demolition robots guarding the passage.
Not walk over the scale? Fly?
No, that’s not possible; there are airflow sensors.
As long as there were unusual airflows in that passage, they would be discovered.
Not hide, morph into a small bug? That doesn’t work either; electronic radars wouldn’t miss any abnormal biological form.
Morph into a demolition robot? Still no good.
Demolition robots have their internal networks, and if not connected internally, they could immediately identify you.
This difficult secret realm was something the senior sister always believed no one could conquer, yet someone did.
The senior sister was dazed, thinking she was dreaming. She even secretly pinched her thigh through her black stockings.
In reality, this secret realm was extremely challenging to conquer, almost to an unsolvable extent.
Li Cunxu’s success in conquering it owed a lot to luck. If not for Wu Chai Xing’s inexplicable favor for the Iron Slime’s iron block purification ability, providing a passage for Li Cunxu, there would have been no chance of conquering it.
The obstacles in the passage to the underground city were designed by a highly meticulous bishop of the Mechanical God Sect, with almost no loopholes.
If not for Wu Chai Xing interfering with the obstacles and granting permission for the Iron Slime, Xiaoruan’s mimicking of the Iron Slime wouldn’t have bypassed Confucius to infiltrate the underground city, leading to the death of twelve mechanical mother bodies.
The senior sister said, "Junior, I need you to take me into the secret realm to verify."
"Senior sister, there’s a level restriction in this secret realm, so I can’t take you in."
"No problem, I have a limiter to suppress my level."
The senior sister showed the colorful gemstone ring on her finger and then placed her fair hand on Li Cunxu’s shoulder.
Li Cunxu squinted, realizing this senior sister wasn’t simple. In a mere blink, she had circled the table and placed her hand on his shoulder.
It must be a spatial skill, ’Instant Step.’
Spatial skill
Activating the secret realm core, the next second, Li Cunxu and the senior sister appeared in the Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm.
All around were demolition robots engaged in fierce battles; many more than from before, most had already turned into broken mechanical parts lying quietly on the cold, ruins-laden ground.
"How did you do it?" The senior sister couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.
"The secret realm core resides with the person controlling the demolition robots in the shadows. Lure him out and take him down; that’s it." Li Cunxu described it simply.
The senior sister rolled her eyes, thinking he said nothing at all.
The demolition robots had someone controlling them; her team had noticed that back then, tried many methods, yet couldn’t lure the person out.
Li Cunxu’s team must have used some method, but he didn’t say, and the senior sister didn’t continue questioning.
"Let’s go back!"
Activating the secret realm core, Li Cunxu and the senior sister returned to the school.
The light on the secret realm core key had significantly dimmed.
Entering and exiting the secret realm consumes spatial energy, especially when bringing someone in; it drains the most spatial energy.
But, no need to worry about running out of energy and being unable to enter. The secret realm core can absorb spatial energy from the void, like a solar charger, self-sustaining.
The senior sister sat back down, picked up the pen, and filled out the form.
"Who conquered it?"
"No one else, just me."
The senior sister looked up again at Li Cunxu.
"You? Alone?"
"Yeah."
"You conquered such a difficult secret realm alone?" The senior sister’s voice unconsciously rose.
"Yeah."
The senior sister didn’t believe Li Cunxu could conquer it alone, so she opened the computer to check the number of people entering and exiting the secret realm.
"It really was you alone."
Her voice was filled with shock; she lost count of how many times she’d been shocked.
"Amazing!"
The senior sister gave a thumbs-up.
After finishing the form, the senior sister softly said, "Junior, you should check out the Demon Association."
"What’s the Demon Association?"
This touched upon a knowledge gap for Li Cunxu.
The senior sister said, "It’s a club at the school, similar to the Combat Club and the Student Union, the two major student organizations. The Demon Association’s principle is to only recruit genius demons, and your solo conquest of that secret realm proves your talent."
Clubs, actually, Li Cunxu had looked into them too. Shendu University had many clubs, with the most famous being the two major ones: the Combat Club and the Student Union.
The Combat Club members are mostly enthusiasts of pet battles.
The Student Union members are mostly elite Beast Masters, typically from noble and prestigious families.
Li Cunxu had considered whether or not to join a club.
Li Cunxu might have fought too many pet battles in his past life and lost the previous passion for battle, not much liking fights without benefits.
Therefore, he had little interest in joining the Combat Club.
As for using battles to train a pet’s combat experience?
Li Cunxu didn’t emphasize it too much; a bit of combat experience is sufficient, no need to force it.
Pet skills are varied; using battles to accumulate experience would take ages. Rather than adapting to others’ skills, it’s better to strengthen oneself and let others adapt to his skills.
Besides, the accumulated combat experience wouldn’t keep up with Xiaoruan’s pace of getting stronger.
Xiaoruan’s growth speed was too fast, with changes every month.
Before getting used to one stage of battle, his strength would leap to a higher stage.
It’s like, black iron-level combat experience wouldn’t apply in silver-level battles.
Xiaobai Spider, being a research-type pet, wasn’t in urgent need of developing its combat strength for now.
