156: Challenge the S-level dungeon with a full-level emperor

A gentle breeze lifted two strands of dark hair framing Qin Hongyue's face.

It also stirred Chen Ming's heart, making it chaotic, intensely chaotic.

"You called me... what?" After a long time, Chen Ming finally reacted and asked for confirmation again.

"Master." Qin Hongyue confirmed without hesitation.

He slapped his forehead and quickly checked Qin Hongyue's personal attribute panel.

He laughed at himself internally, having been too nervous just now and forgetting that he could directly check the stats.

[Name: Qin Hongyue]

[Gender: Female]

...

Quickly skipping the irrelevant information, Chen Ming's gaze locked onto the Loyalty column.

[Loyalty: 100%]

After the one hundred percent, there was also a small lock icon.

Chen Ming clicked to view details.

[Loyalty is locked, cannot be changed!]

"Good! This is great!" Chen Ming couldn't stop smiling, and the heavy stone weighing on his heart finally settled.

At this moment, Qin Hongyue's appearance, in Chen Ming's mind, was comparable to an SSS-grade Skill.

Chen Ming now only needed to place his hope in the true strength that Qin Hongyue would display.

He thought, 'As the Great Emperor of the human race in a planar world, no matter how bad, she can't be that bad, right?'

Scrolling the panel, his gaze finally landed on the Cultivation column.

[Cultivation: Great Emperor (Levels from low to high, in order: Qi Condensation, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Transformation, Void Returning, Body Integration, Great Accomplishment, Tribulation Passing, Quasi-Emperor, Great Emperor!)]

'Did I just fish up a max-level expert?!'

Chen Ming couldn't hide his joy.

Closing the virtual panel, he asked Qin Hongyue, "In your world, how strong were you?"

"I had no equal." Qin Hongyue said calmly, without the slightest hint of extra emotion, simply stating the facts.

"No equal? Good, no equal is great!" Chen Ming praised.

However, just hearing Qin Hongyue say it was definitely not enough; Chen Ming had to witness it himself.

He opened the Resource Map and set filters.

Finally, Chen Ming set his sights on a land of ice and snow.

That place was called the South Pole.

The researchers who were originally located there had all withdrawn.

There were no extra funds or supplies available to provide for them to continue their research.

The entire South Pole now had only Chen Ming and Qin Hongyue, two living people.

Chen Ming didn't come here to experience the freezing cold of the ice and snow.

In this place that no one cared about, there was an S-Rank teleportation gate!

Looking at the mess left on the ground next to it, Chen Ming could easily imagine how smart those people were to run away after fishing out this thing.

There was a considerable amount of time before the teleportation gate would become inactive; no countdown was displayed.

Boom!

Chen Ming, who was about to speak, could clearly feel a warm, invisible, intangible wondrous energy sweep past him, blocking the cold wind and ice and snow outside.

"Did you do that?" Chen Ming asked Qin Hongyue.

After all, there was no one else here besides him and her.

"Within the barrier, it's like spring all year round." Qin Hongyue explained.

"Thanks." Chen Ming replied.

"It is my honor to satisfy you."

Hearing this sentence, Chen Ming personally experienced the power of one hundred percent loyalty.

In her original world, Qin Hongyue was undoubtedly unrivaled, dominating for eons, but after being fished out by him, everything changed.

No matter how strong she was, she couldn't resist the power of the rules.

"Let's go, show me what you can do." Chen Ming said.

"Yes." Qin Hongyue followed Chen Ming closely, entered the teleportation gate, and arrived in another world.

"This is... a church?"

As a church, the size and scale of the building were truly astonishingly large.

Chen Ming felt like an ant inside it.

Everything was unusually large, like towering giants, matching various colossal beasts.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

The sound of metal boots hitting the ground and the friction and collision of armor while moving came from all directions.

One after another, Templar Knights, whose physiques were no less than Scarlet Knights, holding holy hammers, holy shields, holy swords... walked out slowly, completely surrounding Chen Ming and Qin Hongyue.

Looking around, he couldn't see an exit at all.

"Right from the start, they're making such a big scene?"

Chen Ming was curious; if the regular mobs had this much strength, how powerful must the boss be?

But this was also good; only if the monsters were strong enough could Chen Ming fully test and understand Qin Hongyue's strength and her limits.

"Can you handle these guys?" Chen Ming asked.

"Please rest assured, Master, Red Moon will definitely not disappoint you."

Bang bang bang...

As soon as Qin Hongyue agreed, the Templar Knights quickened their pace, raised their weapons, and prepared to launch an attack on the intruders!

Facing the swarming Templar Knights, who were as tall as small mountains, Qin Hongyue's expression didn't change.

Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom...

With just a wave of her hand, she sent several Templar Knights flying.

They successively smashed and broke through several thick walls, raising a considerable amount of dust. Whether those Templar Knights were alive or dead was unknown.

As monsters in the S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon, the other Templar Knights wouldn't care about the safety of their companions; their only focus was to execute Chen Ming.

Qin Hongyue naturally wouldn't allow anyone to approach, let alone harm Chen Ming.

She clenched her five fingers.

A Scarlet hand appeared directly out of thin air, firmly grasping seven or eight Templar Knights within it.

Qin Hongyue's face was cold; with a slight exertion of force from her five fingers, the Scarlet hand squeezed the Templar Knights flat and crushed them.

...

All Chen Ming needed to do was watch the battle and silently obtain a large amount of rewards before clearing the S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon.

After clearing the S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon, there were additional rewards.

He fully enjoyed the treatment of being the boss, pushing all major and minor tasks to his subordinates.

As the boss, he only needed to focus on the benefits.

Boom!

A Templar Knight raised a shield harder than a city wall and charged towards Qin Hongyue.

Bang!

Qin Hongyue just moved her finger, and the shield, along with its armor, shattered, cracks spreading layer by layer in a chaotic manner.

At this moment, Qin Hongyue, in Chen Ming's eyes, was like a max-level expert who had accidentally entered a novice village.

That's right, compared to Qin Hongyue's strength, the S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon could only be considered a novice village.

At least for now.

The monsters currently appearing in the S-Class Secret Realm Dungeon were just small fry, appetizers, but correspondingly, Qin Hongyue hadn't taken it seriously either.
