After listening to Bai Qi’s description, Wang Huai and the others fell into silence, while Tang Miao even dropped his jaw wide in disbelief. “So, you’re saying you scared away the guardian of this secret realm?”
“Howcould that be? He probably has some psychological trauma relating to this.”
Bai Qi shrugged, seeing the tense expression of the Black and White Towers. They had obviously encountered the Blood of Death during the Era of Law Emperor, and perhaps even confronted Death itself, hence their fear.
“I knew that as long as you took action, Bai Qi, this secret realm would definitely be unlocked.”
Yi Yu walked up to Bai Qi with a slight smile, looking at the two towering mechs by Bai Qi’ s side.” Have these two mechs already recognized you as their master?”
Bai Qi shook his head. “Not exactly. According to Black and White, these mechs are fresh from the factory. Nothing has been finalized yet, including their energy sources.”
Thinking about it made him annoyed. Black and White Towers had the time to relay the status of the two mechs to him, but didn’t spare a moment to explain the origin of the metallic sphere. Now left with a mystery, only heaven knows when he’d decipher its secrets.
“Is that so…”
Yi Yu’s gaze swept back and forth between the two mechs, a gleam of fanaticism occasionally flickering in his eyes. But he said nothing more, just standing silently, as if appreciating two works of art.
Seeing the unscathed Bai Qi, Li Xusheng also walked up and asked earnestly, “Bai Qi, how did you extinguish that green flame?”
“Green flame, you encountered it too?”
Bai Qi was slightly taken aback at the news. According to Black and White Towers, Black Sky only activated the Evil Energy Mode due to sensing the Sword of Death. So how had Li Xusheng also activated it?
Could it be, did Li Xusheng get contaminated by the Power of Death during that encounter?
“Uh, were you okay after the last time in the Emperor’s Secret Realm? I mean, are you sure you’ve completely removed the Blood of Death?”
Hearing Bai Qi’s off-topic response, Li Xusheng furrowed his brows slightly, misunderstanding Bai Qi’s meaning, and walked straight back to his spot, leaving Bai Qi completely puzzled.
What caused this sudden fallout?
Bai Qi scratched his head helplessly. Upon seeing Li Xusheng’s swiftly healing wounds, he decided not to probe further.
Based on the properties of the Blood of Death, if Li Xusheng truly was contaminated, he definitely wouldn’t be bouncing around now.
Well, it must be a coincidence.
“I didn’t expect to lose to you once again in deciphering a secret realm.”
Unlike Li Xusheng’s confusion, Bai Qiucha seemed quite indifferent about losing to Bai Qi, even appearing somewhat relieved.
As a young prodigy, Bai Qiucha was under no small amount of pressure. Being the Legendary Son meant he could not afford to lag behind others, and he had been living up to the expectation.
Now, continuously being overtaken by Bai Qi, Bai Qiucha was beginning to feel liberated. His motivation to become stronger surged unprecedentedly.
Chasing from behind, after all, provided more motivation than leading from the front.
“It’s just a coincidence. Besides, I wouldn’t be able to do anything if I had encountered White Meeh.”
From Black and White Towers, Bai Qi knew that White Sky was the complete opposite of Black Sky, a Defensive New Meeh. It seemed to contain a special stone, which made it extraordinarily resilient.
If he really met it, Bai Qi would probably have to rely on Alpha’s Sword of Death for a miracle.
But speaking of which, once you clear one of the Black and White Secret Realms, you can’t go to the other. They were clearly not intended to allow one to obtain both unique stones.
So stingy!
Bai Qi silently grumbled about the Black and White Towers and their master. Then he saw a figure flying towards them from the distance. It was Bai Heguang and the Jiuyou Darkbird returning from the Black Python Tribe.
“Dad, are you alright?”
Upon seeing this, Bai Qiucha immediately went to inquire, while Bai Heguang simply shook his head. “It was just a legendary giant snake. It was no match for Jiuyou.”
After hearing Bai Heguang’s words, Bai Qiucha was finally relieved. Bai Heguang then noticed the missing Black and White Towers and the two mechs, Black Sky and White Sky.
“The Dual Sky Meeh from the Era of Law Emperor? I never thought it would be preserved here.”
After taking a few looks at the Dual Sky Meeh, Bai Heguang immediately recognized their identity. He then looked at Bai Qi and asked, “Bai Qi, did you clear it?”
“Yes.”
Bai Qi nodded and asked, “Do you know about the Dual Sky Meeh, Teacher?”
Bai Heguang said, “In a sense, the Era of Law Emperor was very similar to the Federation. During their confrontations with the Ferocious Beasts, they primarily used various Rune Puppets and Mechs. Among them, the Dual Sky Meeh was the most famous.”
“Unfortunately, after the Law Emperor died, the Dual Sky Meeh also gradually disappeared.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi had a sudden realization while Yi Yu commended from the side, “Bai Chuanqi is indeed the top in the Federation in archaeology. If the Dual Sky Meeh were given to him, he would surely restore their original functions.”
“There’s no need.”
Upon hearing those words, Bai Heguang outright refused. “The Thirteenth Bureau discovered the secret realm. It wouldn’t be fair for our association to monopolize it.”
Saying this, Bai Heguang glanced at Bai Qi. “We each take a mech and share the research data.”
“Alright.”
Yi Yu nodded his head, agreeing with Bai Heguang’s suggestion, then he turned to Bai Qi and said, “Bai Qi, you’re the one who successfully completed the mission, so why don’t you make the choice?”
Upon hearing Yi Yu’s words, Bai Qi looked at Bai Heguang, and after seeing that he also agreed, he scrutinized the two mechs for a moment before ultimately choosing the unfamiliar White Mech.
Although the Black Sky Mech was focused on offense, in reality, its mode of combat was very similar to Husky’s. The only thing that was truly powerful was the circular stone it contained. This didn’t offer much for him to learn from.
The defensive White Mech, on the other hand, likely had many valuable aspects. Once he had learned from it, he could enhance Husky’s defenses.
Seeing that Bai Qi had made his choice, Yi Yu didn’t hesitate to put the Black Sky Mech away. “Our task is completed; we’ll take our leave now.”
“As for the Spirit-Control Orb and our previous trade, I’m planning on visiting your federation in a few days. We’ll discuss it then.”
“Alright.”
Bai Qi slightly nodded, watching as Yi Yu and his team prepared to leave in their mechs. He suddenly found Bai Heguang staring intently at him, remaining silent for a long time.
“Ahem, um, do you have something you want to tell me, professor?”
Feeling uncomfortable under Bai Heguang’s scrutiny, Bai Qi couldn’t help but ask.
“No, you did well this time.”
Bai Heguang shook his head, “The Dual Sky Mech has a high operational cost that isn’t within your means right now. I suggest you hand it directly over to the federation, they will provide an appropriate compensation.”
“Alright, thank you, professor.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi nodded in approval. Despite how excellent the Dual Sky Mech was, it needed a terrifying amount of energy, and the current energy systems within the Mechanical Engineering Department couldn’t support it, so one could only use specific energy materials.
Although said materials could power up the Dual Sky Mech enough to fight against Legendary Creatures, Bai Qi felt they would be better used for cultivating his pets.
“Professor, when the time comes, will I be able to participate in the research on the White Mech? If that’s not possible, could I at least receive a copy of its rune structure?”
Bai Heguang hesitated for a moment before replying, “Alright, your mastery of runes is at the level of some experts already. Your knowledge could help decipher some of the mysteries of the Dual Sky Mech.”
Upon hearing Bai Heguang’s agreement, Bai Qi let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to inquire about the Demon Class, he was interrupted by Bai Heguang.
“You both have been out for quite a while, and I have some other matters to attend to shortly. I’ll send you back to headquarters now.”
“Uh, alright.”
Bai Qiucha and Bai Qi exchanged glances. Their father (teacher) seemed overly busy, even a workhorse wouldn’t be pushed this hard.
Once they returned to headquarters, they could look up some information on the Demon Class in the Tower of Knowledge. They could perhaps find some clues.
They should also investigate the little metallic ball.
Once they were ready, Bai Heguang took them straight to headquarters.
Bai Heguang obviously had some urgent matter at hand, for they returned much quicker than they had come, only taking half a day to get back to headquarters.
“I’m going to report this matter about the Dual Sky Mech to the head. Both of you go to the assembly hall first.”
Bai Heguang directed the two toward the entrance of the grand hall before hurrying off to the Tower of Decision.
“At this hour, they should all be assembled. Shall we go grab something to eat first?”
For the past few days, they had merely survived on the meat of ferocious beasts. Although it was nutritionally sufficient, the taste was quite ordinary. Now that they were back, they ought to give their taste buds a treat.
“Sounds good, the Thunder Rat must be hungry too.”
Bai Qiucha nodded, already considering what to feed the Thunder Rat.
He really loved his pets.
The two went hand in hand to the cafeteria. Due to the current class hours, there weren’t many people in the cafeteria. Only a small number of members from the Six Towers were there, having a meal.
“Ma’am, please give me ten orders of a hearty meal set, five orders of the Ice Wolf set, twenty orders of the colorful set, and fifteen orders of the vitality set, thank you.”
Bai Qi placed an extravagant order at the window to feed his four pets, their favorite meals to be exact, and he ordered several times more than usual.
Once the announcement about his second-stage rune evolution and the Spirit- Control Orb came out, he would have secured his financial freedom. Naturally, there would be no need for him to skimp and save.

Speaking of which, the Thirteenth Bureau had already set aside a piece of Mythical Material for him. The federation would likely trade the White Mech for another piece of Mythical Material as well.
He should give one of them to Delta in exchange for Space Material to ramp up her combat effectiveness. But he also hadn’t claimed Gamma’s basic rewards yet. Skipping over Gamma seemed a bit inappropriate.
However, if both materials were assigned to Gamma and Delta, it would be too mundane, lacking in excitement.
Looking at his four pets gorging themselves with food, Bai Qi remembered the previous incident between Husky and Gamma and a smirk appeared on his corner of the lips.
“Alpha, Schuck, Beta, Gamma, Delta, let’s have an internal competition later, the winner will get first priority in the allocation of Mythical Resources-“
