After years of research and exploration by the scientific community, no one could offer a plausible explanation for the emergence of mystic realms.
Despite the lack of understanding, one fact remained indisputable—mystic realms were profoundly dangerous.
In typical circumstances, humans were categorized into levels.
They corresponded to the grades of martial artists.
S, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
F-rank martial artists could handle the dangers and ferocious beasts within mystic realms, albeit with minimal risks and rewards.
The danger increased as one ascended the levels, but so did the potential benefits.
If one possessed the audacity, one could explore mystic realms at any level and "strike gold." Valuable treasures could be retrieved without concern for finding buyers.
However, an F-rank martial artist venturing into a B-rank or A-rank mystic realm was akin to courting death.
While browsing the internet, Xu Zhong stumbled upon a news article about the [318] mystic realms that piqued his interest.
Chapter 318: Mystic Realms, Evaluation Level: A
Evaluation Reason: This mystic realm contains a formidable magnetic field that continually drains the energy from the human body.
The higher the level, the more rapid the energy loss. Even an A-rank martial artist's organs would deteriorate swiftly due to the energy drain.
Energy loss?
Wasn't the Primal Chaos Body Formula's simplified cultivation method centered around energy loss?
Xu Zhong felt a surge of excitement. It was as if someone had handed him a pillow when he was brink of dozing off.
"It's too late tonight. I'll check it out tomorrow."
Xu Zhong had formulated a plan. By entering this mystic realm, he could earn money and significantly enhance his mastery of the Primal Chaos Body Formula.
In the meantime, the previous sound of complaints from the punk girl seated nearby had fallen silent. Unbeknownst to Xu Zhong, she had silently approached him.
Her skin was porcelain-white and flawless, her eyes resembled glistening pools of ink, and her vivid crimson lips exuded a magnetic allure. Her chiseled nose and sharp features combined to create a stunning visage.
What he hadn't noticed suddenly became apparent. This eSports girl was exceptionally beautiful.
The word "mesmerizing" flashed through Xu Zhong's mind as he gazed upon her captivating face.
Her innate charm made her the embodiment of his ideal goddess.
…
Just as Xu Zhong was puzzled over the situation, the girl seated across from him parted her crimson lips and released an ethereal and surreal dark energy, which seemed to wash over Xu Zhong's face.
In an instant, Xu Zhong's expression became vacant and lifeless, as though he were a marionette.
The entire Internet cafe fell into profound silence in his vision, and even the attendant disappeared. Meanwhile, the eSports girl leisurely stood up and began to undress.
Her alabaster toes were pristine, her ankles slender and delicate. As she looked up slightly, a pair of immaculate, smooth legs appeared.
With a blush on his face, Xu Zhong felt his heart racing uncontrollably. He couldn't help but feel a sense of self-disappointment.
She proceeded to undress, piece by piece…
"Young lady, please don't do this. I'm not that kind of person."
"Well, let's move to a different location. There might be security cameras over there. Come closer, come closer…"
The Seductive Fox glanced at the man across from her. She had witnessed countless men's embarrassment in her presence. She chuckled and remarked, "Huh, man!"
Superficially, Xu Zhong appeared unable to control himself, but inwardly, he sneered, "Huh, woman!"
Thanks to the Pure Divine Art, he had no reason to fear such tactics.
Had he not cultivated the Pure Divine Art, Xu Zhong might have succumbed to the Seductive Fox's trap. However, the Pure Divine Art inherently embodied pure energy, rendering the Seductive Fox's bewitching methods, steeped in dark energy, utterly ineffective against him.
Moments earlier, he had sensed something amiss in the way the girl had been looking at him. Recalling the online news about the Seductive Fox, he instantly surmised that the seemingly ordinary girl before him might not be so ordinary.
Just as Xu Zhong prepared to confront the Seductive Fox, a warm kiss landed on his cheek.
A vivid red lipstick imprint instantly marked his face. Xu Zhong tentatively touched the stain, his heart racing, finding it moist and adhesive.
Wait a minute. Why do I feel so oddly comfortable after being kissed by this Seductive Fox?
The next moment, the Seductive Fox's warm, red lips met Xu Zhong's.
D*mn, she intends to absorb my pure energy!
Just as Xu Zhong was on the verge of striking down the Seductive Fox, a familiar electronic voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding.]
[Due to exposure to the Seductive Fox's dark energy, your body's energy has been drained.]
[Vitality +5]
Energy surged boundlessly!
The waves of heat spread throughout his limbs and bones.
