258: Chapter 258 Being too strong may not be a good thing

Chen Yi's gaze swept across the system interfaces of himself and each of the Spirit Beast Girls.

Chen Yi did a rough calculation in his head.

Just his own spirit power plus that of his eight Contracted Spirit Beast girls reached 3,050 points.

It directly exceeded the 3,000-point spirit power limit!

And he hadn't even counted the spirit power values of Black Rose, the hidden Demon Empress, or Lilian, which was almost negligible!

In other words, even if he didn't encounter any other teams, with this luxurious lineup around him, he was essentially a walking rule trigger!

Wherever he went, he would be like a searchlight in the dark night, continuously attracting Monster Tides of various scales to pay him a visit!

Isn't this a bit of a trap?

The will of the secret realm likely intended for a Beast Tamer and their Contracted Spirit Beast to rely on their own true strength to act, adventure, and grow alone or in small groups, rather than always thinking of relying on numbers to steamroll everything—hence setting such a rule!

It never could have imagined that a monster like Chen Yi would exist in the world!

A damn Rank 6 Beast Tamer, whose total spirit power from his Contracted Spirit Beast Girls could easily break the 3,000-point mark by himself!

This is just ridiculous!

Who can he even complain to?

Truly, how lonely it is to be invincible!

Even the rules are targeting him!

Chen Yi complained wildly in his heart, feeling both amused and annoyed.

However, on second thought, this might not be such a bad opportunity for tempering.

“Since the rules are like this, there’s no need for us to force a separation!”

Chen Yi said to The girls around him, “We’ll act together, head straight north toward the second zone! I want to see what the Monster Tides of this Frozen Purgatory can do to us! By the way, let's treat this as a special training session and fight our way to the second zone to see if the rules there are any different!”

Hearing this, The girls looked at each other and smiled. They showed no fear; instead, they all wore expressions of eagerness to try.

They had long since grown accustomed to following Chen Yi as he created miracles. This little bit of trouble was nothing to them.

“We’ll listen to Brother Chen Yi!”

“It’s a good chance to collect more ice-attribute crystal cores for Sister Xue'er!”

“Let’s go! Let’s show the rules of this secret realm what true strength looks like!”

---

And so, Chen Yi’s group set off once again across the now-empty ice plains.

There was no flight-restriction field here. Lin Mengxue directly transformed into a Frost Giant Dragon, carrying Chen Yi and the others as they took to the sky, flying rapidly toward the north.

Just as Chen Yi expected!

Their small team was the most conspicuous target on the ice plains!

Along the way, they encountered ten consecutive waves of monster attacks from the sky!

The attackers were no longer the Ice Snow Tigers from the ground, but had changed into another type of ice-element flying monster—Cryophoenixes!

However, perhaps because although the team's total spirit power exceeded the limit, they were still just one team, the scale of the Monster Tides they attracted was far less terrifying than when the various nations had gathered earlier.

The number of Cryophoenixes in each wave was only about a hundred, and their average level was below Rank 6.

For the Spirit Beast Girls bolstered by the beast taming whip, attacks of this magnitude, while frequent, were not too difficult to handle!

The girls took turns to act, covering the area with various AoE skills, quickly clearing out the incoming flocks of Cryophoenixes.

Flying and killing all the way, they actually harvested quite a lot of magic beast crystal cores and materials!

Following the team, Black Rose watched Chen Yi and his group of Spirit Beast Girls deal with wave after wave of attacks like cutting through melons and vegetables, and her heart had become completely numb.

“Is it certain that some male protagonist from a web novel about beast taming didn't accidentally transmigrate into the real world?”

“How can someone be so ridiculously strong? Is he even going to let other Beast Tamers live?”

“No wonder Her Majesty the Queen values this person so much—”

Black Rose couldn't help but complain wildly in her heart. Enough is enough!

Even though her level was as high as Rank 7, Stage 1, and she was a Demon Empress!

She now had no doubt that she was no longer a match for the Contracted Spirit Beasts under Chen Yi’s command!

In other words, once her true identity was exposed, she would surely die!

“It’s still better to seal the deal as soon as possible. I'll do it the next time we rest!”

Black Rose secretly made up her mind.

Meanwhile, Lilian, who had been nervous and afraid at first, gradually became excited.

Sitting on the dragon's back, she looked at Chen Yi’s tall, straight back ahead and the heroic fighting postures of her sisters, her emerald eyes filled with longing.

“As expected! Following the precognition was the right choice!”

“This is the bright future that belongs to me!”

“I wonder if I’ll have combat power like theirs once I awaken my SSS-rank bloodline—”

---

Thus, after experiencing the welcoming ceremony of ten aerial Monster Tides and flying north for most of the day, the scene ahead finally began to change.

The end of the ice plains was gradually replaced by a dancing crimson red.

Everyone finally saw the so-called second zone—a sea of fire burning with endless flames!

To be precise, it wasn't a real sea of fire.

Looking out, it was a vast and desolate Scorched Earth, but upon that earth, crimson flames burned out of thin air, never extinguishing.

Contrary to that terrifying sight, the temperature everyone felt was only equivalent to a hot summer noon—a bit sweltering, but far from unbearable.

It wasn't even as heat-intolerable as the Fire Zone of the Five Elements Secret Realm!

Clearly, like the ice plains of the first floor, this sea of fire was essentially an illusion condensed from energy and would not cause real fire damage.
