Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

"Simply put, this time we're going to take you to a dangerous secret realm called the Twisted Treeline."

Ma Long looked at Qin Yu and said:

"Because in this secret realm, there is a treasure called Wood Spirit Fruit, which is extremely beneficial to those who have awakened their wood-type talents. Each Wood Spirit Fruit can enhance the strength of wood-type talents by about 10%, and the amplification effect is extremely powerful. Therefore, it has been sought after by many wood-type talent awakeners."

"However, this fruit is extremely rare, only bearing fruit once every ten years, and only ten fruits at a time. And today, there are less than half a month left until the Wood Spirit Fruit is fully ripe."

"So your grandfather entrusted me to take you to that secret realm and try to get you a Wood Spirit Fruit."

Qin Yu nodded upon hearing this, a smile appearing on his lips.

It has to be said that this Wood Spirit Fruit sounds like a perfect match for him, and it is indeed a great opportunity for him.

However, Qin Yu was somewhat dissatisfied with Ma Long's goal of only obtaining one Wood Spirit Fruit, and then said confidently:

"Uncle Ma, that's too narrow-minded. One Wood Spirit Fruit isn't enough for me. I want all ten!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Long shook his head with a wry smile:

"These ten Wood Spirit Fruits aren't just being watched by us; all the Wood-type Talent Awakeners in the entire Great Xia are eyeing them."

"With this level of competition, to be honest, it would be extremely lucky to even get one."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu realized the problem and immediately frowned, saying:

"If that's the case, if a Wood-type Talent Awakener at the Martial Emperor or even Martial Venerable level were to come and compete for it, wouldn't we have absolutely no chance?"

“Not at all.” Ma Long shook his head with a smile: “This secret realm has a special restriction. Only awakened individuals at the Martial Marquis level or below can enter, so there’s no need to worry about powerful figures at the Martial King level or above coming to compete for it.”

"I see."

Qin Yu nodded with a look of sudden realization, then a confident smile appeared on his lips once again.

With his current attributes as a half-step Marquis, plus a series of cheat skills, he is not afraid of anyone below the Martial King level.

"Uncle Ma, when are we leaving? I'm getting impatient," Qin Yu said, looking eager.

He was determined to get these ten Wood Spirit Fruits and would not tolerate anyone else getting their hands on them.

"Don't rush, there are still at least half a month before the Wood Spirit Fruit matures. We have plenty of time," Ma Long said with a smile.

"But you, kid, I need to give you some special training these next couple of days and teach you the things to be careful about in the secret realm."

"After all, this is a dangerous level of secret realm. The difficulty is already beyond your current level. Even with our protection, it is easy to be in mortal danger if you are not careful."

In Ma Long's view, this kid was definitely a burden on their trip to the secret realm, seriously lowering the combat effectiveness of their entire team, since they had to be constantly distracted by protecting him.

If it weren't for the fact that his grandfather had given him so much, he really wouldn't have wanted to bring such a burden in with him.

However, upon hearing this, Qin Yu grinned confidently and said:

"Uncle Ma, don't worry, my strength is beyond your imagination."

Upon hearing this, Ma Long couldn't help but shake his head.

Young man, you're still too arrogant. It seems we need to temper your arrogance before the special training, lest you become ignorant of your place.

"Zhang Dawei".

Ma Long calmly called out a team member, then looked at Qin Yu and said:

“This is the weakest member of our team. If you can last more than five seconds against him, I will believe in you.”

Zhang Dawei: "..."

For some reason, he inexplicably felt that he had been insulted...

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu shook his head immediately.

Seeing this, Malone couldn't help but chuckle and asked in return:

"What, you chickened out?"

"No, I just feel like it's pointless. I get nothing even if I win." Qin Yu spread his hands and shrugged.

"How about this, if I win, I'll become the vice-captain of our team."

Vice Captain Wang Jie: ? ? ?

Oh no, this kid actually came for me!?

Upon hearing this, Ma Long's smile widened even further.

It's true what they say, birds of a feather flock together.

His boundless arrogance is exactly like his grandfather's.

“Sure.” Malone nodded with a smile: “Let’s put it this way, as long as you can last more than five seconds against him, don’t just say you’re the vice-captain, I’ll make you the captain!”

"Hehe, you said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word." Qin Yu's lips immediately curled into a wide smile.

"A promise is a promise, and no one can go back on their word! Anyone who goes back on their word is a coward!" Ma Long sneered, his face full of disdain.

An eighteen-year-old child who has just come of age can only be at most a martial arts master in terms of combat strength.

Zhang Dawei, on the other hand, is a genuine nine-star martial arts master. The difference in combat power between the two is like a father beating his son. Even with the protagonist's halo and cheat codes, it would be impossible for him to win.

"OJBK."

Qin Yu grinned and nodded, then looked at Zhang Dawei, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said:

"Don't worry, Brother Wei, I'll try to be gentle later."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dawei's lips twitched suddenly, and an unnamed rage ignited in his heart.

Damn, this little brat is really arrogant.

"Heh, brat, I was just as reckless and arrogant as you when I was young, but arrogance comes at a price." Zhang Dawei sneered.

Originally, he didn't intend to use excessive force.

But now, he felt it was necessary to teach this kid a lesson!

Zhang Dawei's eyes suddenly narrowed, and with a powerful push of his legs, he shot out like a cannonball, creating a gust of wind as he charged straight toward Qin Yu.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Dawei traversed dozens of meters and rushed to Qin Yu's side, a cold smile on his face, and threw a punch.

"Kid, I'm going to let someone..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Zhang Dawei was sent flying by Qin Yu's seemingly casual slap.

Everyone:? ? ?

Upon seeing the scene before them, everyone's eyes widened instantly, speechless and completely dumbfounded.

What?!

Zhang Dawei was actually defeated by this kid with a single slap! ???
