Fang Xian took out 10,000 "Golden Roc Black Skill Books" from the "System Warehouse" and looked at Yukino.
"Yukino, click to synthesize."
"Okay."
Yukino obediently stepped forward; she already knew about the "Golden Roc Black Skill Books."
She clicked on the 10,000 "Golden Roc Black Skill Books"—Synthesize All.
[Ding! Yukino consumed one "Golden Roc Black Skill Book," receiving 22,000 back.]
The 10,000 "Golden Roc Black Skill Books" instantly emitted a golden light, the fusion successful.
Fang Xian picked up a "Golden Roc Golden Skill Book" and checked its skill.
[Golden Skill: Mist Transformation: Transforms the body into a mist, immune to all attacks, while increasing agility by 50% for 30 seconds.
Consumes 800 mana points, cooldown 3 minutes.]
[Occupies five skill slots.]
This skill differs from the previous one in that it increases agility by 50%, and the duration has increased from 10 seconds to 30 seconds, making it a good escape skill.
"Yukino, you use this 'Golden Skill'."
"Okay."
Having been with Fang Xian for so long, they had figured out his tactics and naturally wouldn't hold back.
[Ding! Yukino consumed one "Golden Roc Golden Skill Book," returning 22,000.]
Fang Xian then took out a "Golden Roc Golden Skill Book" and had them all use it.
He looked at the 484,000 "Golden Roc Golden Skill Books" in the "System Warehouse" and clicked to use one as well.
Now they all possessed a "Golden Roc Golden Skill Book."
However, the "Golden Roc Golden Skill Book" could no longer be used for upgrades, which was a real pity; he could only keep it for future trading.
Fang Xian looked ahead; they were nearing the finish line, and he couldn't help but become wary.
"Prepare for battle, just in case."
"Okay."
The journey stopped; the end was just ahead.
Fang Xian walked ahead, leading the women forward, crossing the white light, and officially entering the Great Thousand World.
The scene before them left them all in awe.
The sky was ablaze with brilliant, ever-changing, fiery light.
The continuous mountain ranges pierced the clouds, shrouded in mist, majestic and awe-inspiring.
Exotic flowers and rare herbs vied for attention, emitting captivating fragrances and dazzling colors.
Looking at the breathtaking scenery, they felt as if they had entered a fairyland.
Not far ahead, several young people were smiling and waiting for them.
Fang Xian glanced at them; from their appearance and clothing, he could tell they were all human.
When they saw Fang Xian and his group, many people with dark, light brown, and near-white skin were disappointed.
Only three men with yellow skin and black hair were particularly happy, waving at Fang Xian and his companions.
A handsome young man in a bespoke suit looked at Fang Xian and his group curiously.
"You're from my white kingdom country, right?"
A young man in a kimono with a mustache confidently stated:
"How could that be? They're definitely from our Great Sakura Empire."
A handsome young man in a monk's robe rolled his eyes at the two and retorted directly.
"You two idiots, get lost! They're obviously from our Dragon Country."
Fang Xian could tell why they had those expressions; this was the passage to the Asian "Secret Realm."
Most of those who chose this route were from countries like China, India, Japan, white kingdom, and the Republic of Korea.
However, naturally, no one dared to accompany Fang Xian on his choice.
He glanced at the people.
The crowd hadn't seen the woman behind Fang Xian clearly before, but now that they did, they were all shocked.
"Oh my god! How can there be so many beautiful women? They're much fairer than the girls in our Indian country!"
"Holy crap! The Dragon Kingdom has so many stunningly beautiful women? This doesn't make sense!"
"Baka! I don't believe the Dragon Kingdom can produce so many strong and beautiful women."
"Sawasdee ka, these beautiful women, would you like to join our Southeast Asian Alliance?"
"Get out of here, all of you! They are citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, of course they'll join our Dragon Alliance."
"Zhao Yunlong, you need to understand one thing. Now that they've arrived in the Great Thousand World, it's their freedom to choose which faction they want to join. You have no right to interfere."
The Dragon Kingdom man named Zhao Yunlong frowned. He could easily see through their little tricks.
Fang Xian and the 22 stunningly beautiful women had already reached level 99 at such a young age; their talent was astonishing. Naturally, they wanted to poach them.
However, he wasn't afraid. People from every country, upon first arriving in the "Secret Realm," would generally choose their own country's faction.
The Japanese man with the mustache, Kusanagi Kosawa, sneered, adding insult to injury.
"Zhao Yunlong, so what if you're from your Dragon Kingdom? Haven't your Dragon Alliance had enough traitors?"
"You—"
Zhao Yunlong clenched his fists, glaring at Kusanagi Kosawa with burning anger.
The white kingdom man, seeing Zhao Yunlong and Kusanagi Kosawa locked in combat, immediately offered Fang Xian and his group terms.
"If all of you join our white kingdom Alliance, we promise each of you a 'Blue Skill Book'."
The Southeast Asian Alliance member quickly chimed in.
"Those pretty ladies, if you join our Southeast Asian Alliance, we'll not only give you 'Blue Skill Books,' but we'll also crown you 'Saintesses.'"
The Indian man, not to be outdone, immediately offered his own terms.
"As long as you join our Indian Alliance, we'll give each of you a 'Blue Skill Book,' and grant you the right to use the highest surname."
Kusanagi Kosawa from the Sakura Kingdom shouted after someone beat him to it.
"Join the Sakura Alliance, and each of you will receive a 'Blue Skill Book,' plus a 'Divine Weapon.'"
Zhao Yunlong from the Dragon Kingdom cursed inwardly, these bastards were ruthless, a classic case of trying to disgust even if they couldn't steal them.
If they succeeded in poaching them, they would directly weaken the Dragon Alliance's strength, a sure-fire win.
If they really lost 23 young prodigies at once, the Dragon Alliance couldn't withstand such a blow and would become a laughingstock among the nations.
Zhao Yunlong had initially been certain Fang Xian would join them, but now the situation was muddied, and nothing was certain.
To be on the safe side, Zhao Yunlong also offered a price, playing the emotional card.
"Citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, welcome home."
"To welcome you, we have prepared a 'Blue Skill Book' for each of you and have designated you as inner disciples."
The various countries have presented their conditions, awaiting Fang Xian and his group's response.
The 22 stunningly beautiful women did not answer, but all looked at Fang Xian.
At this moment, everyone present understood that these 22 beautiful women were all following Fang Xian's lead, which was truly unbelievable.
Fang Xian merely glanced at them indifferently, then strode forward.
His choice was…
