Impossible Spirit Realm (1)

In the spacious and luxurious office, Li Dongze lounged on the sofa with his legs crossed. He held a glass of wine in his left hand and a cigar in his right. He was at ease.

Just now, he had reported the news of recruiting the Night Wanderer to his direct leader.

Li Dongze knew that the young centurion, newly appointed, was in a hurry to achieve results and cultivate a direct line of subordinates. A Night Wanderer with a clean background was like rain from the sky for the centurion with prominent family background. He had come at the right time.

Sure enough, his young superior expressed high praise for him and promised him a great service.

In the system of the White Tiger Soldiers, military merit was everything.

"Clang~"

The glass door to the office burst open roughly and Guan Ya barged in on high heels.

Li Dongze frowned. He took a slow sip of wine and criticized: "Guan Ya, that's very inelegant."

"Sir, this kid entered the She Ling Tunnel!" Guan Ya went straight to the point.

"Pfft!" Li Dongze suddenly turned into a jet fighter. He didn't care about wiping the wine off his face. He propped himself up on the table and shouted in a sharp voice.

"The She Ling Tunnel?! Oh, I'm a damned fool. What have I done?"

He rushed out with his cane and ran to the office area. He saw the new Night Wanderer staring blankly at his computer.

Sensing Li Dongze's arrival, Zhang Yuanqing grimaced and said, "Do you think there's any chance of saving me, Chief?"

He was afraid that the other party would blurt out, 'It's hopeless. Just wait for death and terminate the contract!'

Li Dongze looked at him in silence. He had the look of a long-lost brother who had finally found the girl she loved.

Faced with the new employee's expectant gaze, Li Dongze took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The Trial Spirit Realm is the initial solo dungeon for every Spirit Realm Walker. This is also the most troublesome part. No one can help you in the solo dungeon. This is a test from the Spirit Realm. This is the price you have to pay to obtain supernatural power."

Zhang Yuanqing nodded with a heavy heart.

Li Dongze went on: "I'll report this matter for you. I hope there are information and strategy suggestions about the She Ling Tunnel in the higher-level database. Otherwise, no one can save you. Go back and wait for the news. I'll inform you immediately if there are any results."

Although he was not a Night Wanderer, as a veteran Spirit Realm Walker, he had heard of the infamous She Ling Tunnel.

So far, in the information collected by the official organization, no one had been able to clear the She Ling Tunnel. No one had been able to achieve the "first clear" of this dungeon.

"Alright, sorry to trouble you." Zhang Yuanqing nodded stiffly.

Li Dongze added: "Write down in detail your experience in the She Ling Tunnel."

…

After arranging for a car to take Zhang Yuanqing away, Guan Ya returned to her desk. She took the pad with the watermark of the Aquarius from her drawer and took off the cap of the pen with the image of a Virgo.

Everything on the table, including computers, notebooks, desktops, and cups of water… was printed or pasted with various constellations.

It was obvious that she was a veteran constellation fan.

Guan Ya wrote on a pad: "Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, Scorpio: Sinister, vengeful, and strong sexual urges."

"Remarks: The probability of being seduced by women from other organizations is extremely high."

When she was done, the mixed-blood beauty sighed softly, tore off the note, and stuck it in Team Two's personnel log.

She had noted the attributes of each member and made an assessment, including those who had resigned and those who had died at the Spirit Realm.

"Hey, Wang Tai, does that kid have any hope of clearing the trial?" Guan Ya tilted her head and shouted next door.

The disheveled Wang Tai looked up and said: "The Supreme Solitary Sect might have detailed information on the She Ling Tunnel, but it's most likely useless. Otherwise, they would have long arranged for the Night Wanderer to clear the Spirit Realm. There should be a good reward in an S-rank trial mission."

Guan Ya frowned.

Wang Tai went on: "If we can find him a few tools, he might have a chance of clearing it. But as you know, tools have all kinds of functions. As our understanding of the She Ling Tunnel is limited, we can't specifically give him tools to solve problems. In the end, we'll most likely lose everything."

"No shit!" Guan Ya rolled her eyes.

Tools were extremely precious and rare. It was already very good for a Transcendent Stage Spirit Realm Walker to have a tool on them.

As for tools without owners, they could only be obtained through two methods. One was to enter the Spirit Realm to search for them, and the other was to kill Spirit Realm Walkers in reality and kill them for their treasures. Only tools outside the inventory could be obtained.

Neither was clearly practical.

Most importantly, without knowing the exact situation of the She Ling Tunnel, who knew what kind of tools could help him clear it?

If someone died in the Spirit Realm, the tools would be automatically taken back by the Spirit Realm. The loss would be huge.

Wang Tai tapped on the keyboard and pulled open a series of data. He stared at it for a long time and muttered to himself, "The Qingming Festival just passed, which happens to be the time when the She Ling Tunnel opens every year. Isn't this guy too unlucky?"

In his office, Li Dongze opened the chat app and typed the message:

"Centurion Fu, I want to report something to you. It's related to the newly recruited Night Wanderer. His Trial Spirit Realm is the She Ling Tunnel, known as the impossible trial for the Novice Night Wanderer."

"The She Ling Tunnel first appeared during the construction of the tunnel in the last century. A construction team accidentally entered it and died in the Spirit Realm. After that, the authorities found a survivor. That survivor was sent to the Spirit Realm again thirty-six hours later."
