ACSP: Chapter 33: The power of the Tailed Beast can only belong to the Chen family!
"Chuxi, it seems your previous guess was right. Escorting these two Konoha higher-ups here really does unlock follow-up quests," Wang Hao noted.
Wang Hao noticed Chen Chuxi's expression was extremely ugly, so he immediately switched to flattery, hoping to make his goddess feel better.
However, this time, he clearly flattered the wrong person.
Because Chen Zhentian had already told Chen Chuxi the truth about this Secret Realm through the livestream chat.
This un-cleared Secret Realm was not a Novice Secret Realm.
It was an extremely special Tailed Beast Secret Realm.
In this Secret Realm, there was a special task; if completed, one could obtain the power of the Tailed Beast.
Chen Chuxi had originally thought she could receive that Tailed Beast task from these two Konoha higher-ups, who were suspected to be the behind-the-scenes masterminds.
Little did she expect, these two old geezers only cared about having them act as security.
They hadn't given a single valuable task.
A follow-up task worth 2,000 experience points? Were they treating her like a beggar?
"My mood is terrible right now. You had better shut up..."
Chen Chuxi shot Wang Hao a cold glare, then snatched the phone that was livestreaming from his hand and crushed it.
Wang Hao was clearly stunned: "Chuxi, what are you doing? Didn't you say we needed to livestream the entire time in the Secret Realm?"
Chen Chuxi gritted her teeth, angry: "I'm about to become a joke to the entire internet, and you still want to livestream?"
Wang Hao knew Chen Chuxi was worried about others receiving that Tailed Beast task, so he quickly comforted her: "Chuxi, don't worry. I've heard my dad talk about the Tailed Beast Secret Realm before. Although there are tasks in this kind of Secret Realm to obtain the power of the Tailed Beast, the task is very difficult to farm."
"A team of level 60+ Jonin Contractors tried to farm that task before and failed. Among all the teams entering the Secret Realm this time, our team has the highest average level. If we don't step up, even if other teams receive that Tailed Beast task, it is absolutely impossible for them to complete it."
Hearing this from Wang Hao, Chen Chuxi felt slightly better.
The difficulty of some special Secret Realms is calculated based on the average level of all teams within the Secret Realm.
If this Tailed Beast Secret Realm was one of those special types, then without a doubt, their team was the one with the best hope of completing that Tailed Beast task.
Even if other teams accepted it, it would be useless.
At this moment, Chen Chuxi suddenly thought of one team and turned to ask Wang Hao: "What is the average level of Li Yanran's team?"
When she entered the Secret Realm earlier, she was too busy bickering with Li Yanran and didn't pay any attention to the average team level displayed at the entrance.
Wang Hao grinned: "You might not believe it, but their team's average level is only 11, the lowest among all the teams."
Chen Chuxi was shocked: "Didn't they clear that hell-difficulty Novice Secret Realm? How is their level so low?"
Wang Hao shrugged with a smile: "Who knows? Maybe that was just false news created by the City Lord's Mansion to build hype. After all, they didn't livestream when they went into the Secret Realm. As for that stone tablet record that went viral online, it's very likely they photoshopped it."
Chen Chuxi's eyes showed disdain: "What a bunch of shameless people."
Wang Hao sneered: "People who hang out with a loser like Jiang Chen, how good could they be? Oh right, I forgot to mention something—the captain of Li Yanran's team isn't Li Yanran, it's Jiang Chen."
"Jiang Chen?"
Chen Chuxi frowned slightly: "What is that loser up to now?"
Wang Hao guessed: "I guess the people at the City Lord's Mansion think he was the only max-level talent in Jinghai City before, so they want to use his name to boost their momentum."
Chen Chuxi dismissed it: "A washed-up genius is worse than a loser. It seems the City Lord's Mansion is at the end of its rope if they're resorting to such hollow tricks."
At this moment, outside the Secret Realm.
Following Chen Chuxi smashing the phone, the connection between Chen Zhentian and them was severed.
"That girl is truly reckless..." Chen Zhentian was somewhat annoyed this time.
If Chen Chuxi had kept the livestream on, they could have at least understood the situation inside the Secret Realm and made preparations from the outside early on.
Now, they couldn't obtain any intelligence.
"Big Brother, Chuxi and the others are trapped. What if the power of the Tailed Beast falls into someone else's hands?" Second Elder Chen leaned over and whispered to Chen Zhentian.
Chen Zhentian glanced at City Lord Li Hongfei out of the corner of his eye, then lowered his voice: "No matter what kind of un-cleared Secret Realm it is, once the teams inside come out, a Secret Realm stele will appear. Keep an eye on the content on the stele. If anyone obtains the power of the Tailed Beast, no matter who it is, they must be controlled."
The power of the Tailed Beast can be stripped and transferred.
The levels of the teams entering the Tailed Beast Secret Realm this time are not high.
If anyone really obtained the power of the Tailed Beast inside the Secret Realm, they could completely control them and then find an opportunity to strip the Tailed Beast power from their body.
This way, even if Chen Chuxi didn't obtain the power of the Tailed Beast inside the Secret Realm, it didn't matter. The power of the Tailed Beast in this Secret Realm would still belong to their Chen family.
The scene returns to the inside of the Secret Realm.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi pushed the Nine-Tailed out of Konoha Village, he immediately led a group of Konoha Ninja to launch a more violent offensive against it.
Because the battlefield was not in the Village this time, many Konoha Ninja let loose and unleashed their most skilled Ninjutsu.
explosive tags were thrown at the Nine-Tailed like they were free.
However, even so, the Nine-Tailed still hadn't suffered much damage.
The gap in strength between the two sides was too large. It couldn't be made up for by numbers.
During this battle, besides Li Yanran and her group of four, other Secret Realm teams appeared nearby.
Some of them had accepted rescue missions from the Konoha Hospital to come to the scene to rescue the wounded.
Others had accepted intelligence-gathering missions issued by Root, needing to visit the Nine-Tailed battlefield in person to collect information.
But regardless of their purpose, after arriving at this battlefield and seeing the terrifying Nine-Tailed, everyone was scared out of their wits.
"Damn, is this Secret Realm we're farming really a Novice Secret Realm?"
"It's too shocking. The strength of this Nine-Tailed is probably stronger than those Kage-level Ninja, right?"
"Be confident, remove the 'probably'. Didn't you see what the Third Hokage leading the charge was beaten into?"
"This Hokage is so old, yet he's still risking his life on the front lines. It's really hard on him."
After a fierce battle, the Konoha Ninja suffered devastating blows again.
This time, even Hiruzen Sarutobi was exhausted. He was seen clutching his Adamantine Staff, which was larger than a person, kneeling on one knee on the ground, panting heavily and drenched in sweat.
"Summoning Technique!"
Just then, a huge black shadow suddenly descended from the sky, directly pressing down on the Nine-Tailed's mountain-like body, splashing up dust all over the ground.
When the dust settled, a large toad with a pipe in its mouth appeared before everyone's eyes.
On the back of that large toad stood a yellow-haired figure wearing a Hokage haori, arms crossed, standing proudly.
It was Minato Namikaze, who had come to provide support.
