Faced with a group of lively young women, Ye Ling was grateful for his strong willpower; otherwise, it could have been quite awkward.
Upon arriving at Hong Xiu's office, just as he stepped inside, Ye Ling saw Hong Xiu getting ready to leave.
"Teacher Hong, I'm back."
Hearing his voice, Hong Xiu immediately looked at Ye Ling with a face full of surprise and delight.
"You rascal, you didn't contact me for days. Were you stuck in the Secret Realm the whole time?"
To be honest, during these three days, Hong Xiu wasn't too worried at first, but later she became quite anxious.
After all, Ye Ling had just reached the Second Rank. If anything happened, it would be hard for her to explain.
Seeing Ye Ling safe and sound in front of her now, Hong Xiu was naturally overjoyed.
She walked up to him, inspecting him closely to make sure he wasn't hurt, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had thought Ye Ling would stay inside for about a day at most, but to her surprise, he stayed for the full three days, the maximum time allowed.
Hong Xiu probably didn't realize that if time hadn't run out, Ye Ling might have been reluctant to leave.
After all, it was a rare place to level up, and Ye Ling wouldn't want to leave so easily.
The next opportunity to enter the Secret Realm wouldn't be for another month.
Nodding in agreement, Ye Ling replied, "That's right, I spent all three days in the Secret Realm. It was during these days that I made some breakthroughs."
When talking about his power increase, Ye Ling was quite modest.
If others knew that Blood Phantom and Feng Jiu had both leveled up rapidly—one advancing two levels and the other three—it would be astonishing.
Hong Xiu didn't read too much into Ye Ling's words, assuming he had made only slight progress.
She never imagined Ye Ling could achieve nearly a level a day.
If Hong Xiu knew, even as a Seventh Rank Spirit Tamer, she would be shocked.
"Alright, since that's the case, take a good rest today. You can also explore the Sacred City. Oh, and here's your resource allocation.
It's 15% more than regular students, as I promised you earlier."
With that, Hong Xiu handed over a Federation credit card, which would be used for the Academy to issue credit points to Ye Ling.
"Thank you, Teacher Hong."
Seeing the card, Ye Ling accepted it without hesitation, expressing his gratitude.
This was his rightful reward, nothing to be modest about.
Besides, he would need credit points for many things in the future, so there was no need to be overly polite.
Being a Spirit Tamer had its perks; even as a student, he already received credit point subsidies.
Compared to other professions, this was the most perfect career in this world.
Seeing Ye Ling take the card, Hong Xiu smiled slightly.
"Alright, go rest. I have something to attend to."
Ye Ling nodded and left on his own.
As for Hong Xiu, she was summoned by Principal Vermilion Bird and needed to head to her office immediately.
After leaving Hong Xiu's office, Ye Ling thought for a moment and decided to take a stroll around the Sacred City.
This was the most prosperous city in the entire Federation.
It would be a shame not to explore it thoroughly after coming here.
Moreover, Ye Ling had something else to do.
He needed to sell all the materials he had gathered over the past three days.
Although selling online was convenient, it could be slow.
Selling directly to stores that specialized in buying materials was much simpler.
Walking through the campus, Ye Ling seemed to attract attention wherever he went.
After all, he was the only male in the entire Academy, which naturally made him the center of attention.
Throughout the journey, Ye Ling ignored the lively young women and focused on checking his task rewards.
The system task of exploring the Second Rank Secret Realm had been completed, and Ye Ling was eager to see what he had earned.
"Ding! Task completed: Explore the Second Rank Secret Realm. Rewards: Spiritual Vision upgraded to the spiritual technique True Eye, Spiritual Power Crystals x5, Experience Crystals x5."
This was the system notification Ye Ling received when leaving the Secret Realm.
However, he hadn't had the chance to check it at the time due to his rush to leave the Secret Realm Pavilion.
Originally, Ye Ling's Spiritual Vision had evolved into the True Eye.
The True Eye retained all the abilities of Spiritual Vision and allowed him to see detailed data on any target he locked onto (consuming twenty points of Spiritual Power per second, unable to upgrade).
While the system could provide some information, it couldn't show detailed data.
With the True Eye, Ye Ling could even see data on himself and his enemies, including their Spiritual Pets and mastered skills.
With such a skill, Ye Ling could gain a significant advantage in battles.
Even without other rewards, Ye Ling felt this skill alone was worth it.
