The scene left countless people dumbfounded!
Especially Yang Shuchuan.
He stared at Chen Yang in disbelief.
This guy… actually refused Su Qimeng's invitation?
"Looks like Chen Yang really doesn't want to team up."
Yang Shuchuan felt a little ashamed.
He had thought Chen Yang turned him down because he wasn't good enough. But now…
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going first."
Chen Yang smiled, then led Sylvie toward the gate of the Secret Realm Zone.
The elf girl stuck close to him, following tightly.
When he said she was shy, he hadn't been wrong.
In crowded places, this girl really did get nervous—pressing up against him even more than before.
And as Chen Yang walked away, everyone around felt as if they'd seen a ghost.
This guy… was really something else.
Even Su Qimeng herself hadn't expected Chen Yang to refuse her invitation.
Watching his back as he headed toward the gate, she couldn't help feeling curious.
Originally, she'd only wanted to invite him because her team lacked a healer.
But she also found him handsome, and she'd always had a bit of a good impression of him.
That was the only reason she'd extended the offer.
She never imagined… that he would refuse.
"This is infuriating."
The slightly chubby warrior girl returned to Su Qimeng's side, fuming.
She never would've guessed Chen Yang would actually reject even Su Qimeng.
Didn't he know?
Su Qimeng wasn't just the school's beauty—she was an S-rank talent, a high-tier Frost Mage!
The number of boys lining up just for a chance to team with her could stretch for kilometers!
And yet…
Chen Yang still said no?
"I'd like to see what kind of teammates he ends up with."
The girl pouted, annoyed.
But she didn't know—
Chen Yang… never planned to team up with anyone in the first place!
Chen Yang and Sylvie passed through the massive metal gates of the Secret Realm Zone.
"Finally… it begins."
He let out a breath of relief.
Inside, the number of people immediately thinned.
After all, most professionals, once inside, scattered right away to hunt dungeons or explore secret realms. Few lingered near the entrance.
At this moment, with so few people around, Sylvie finally grew bolder.
She glared fiercely at Chen Yang.
"Human! Why didn't you team up?"
"I may be new to this world… but when I was summoned, I learned a few things."
"Your secret realms and dungeons are filled with dangerous monsters—only a party can deal with them!"
Chen Yang found her accusations amusing.
This girl… only dared to act fierce when alone with him.
But in front of a crowd? She was so timid she couldn't even speak.
That contrast… was kind of interesting.
He didn't take offense. Calmly, he said, "Didn't you also learn that if you form a party, the rewards from killing monsters are split evenly?"
"Even so… you still have to be able to beat the monsters first, right?"
Sylvie pouted. "If we don't party up, you don't expect me—a cleric—to clear them, do you?"
"What's wrong with being a cleric? Don't you have a Holy Light skill that can damage monsters?" Chen Yang asked back.
"???"
Sylvie stared at him, speechless.
Was this human… serious?
But Chen Yang didn't give her time to complain.
"Come on, let's go." He gave a firm command.
At the same time, he glanced up at the wide-angle surveillance cameras mounted along the high metal wall.
To avoid trouble, he led Sylvie deeper into the Secret Realm Zone.
Once out of view of the cameras—
He selected an aura from his god-tier list and activated it.
[God-Hidden Aura(God-tier Aura) (God-tier Aura): You and your summons enter stealth state, gaining +100 Invisibility!]
That's right.
It was a God-Hidden Aura(God-tier Aura) (God-tier Aura)—one that instantly granted +100 levels of invisibility!
In this era, classes like rogues and assassins could learn stealth skills.
But stealth had ranks.
Invisibility and detection were opposites, countering each other!
For example, a level 10 professional's stealth skill would usually be Level 1.
At level 50, a detection skill might reach Level 5.
In other words—skill-based invisibility and detection levels usually scaled at character level ÷ 10.
By activating God-Hidden Aura(God-tier Aura), Chen Yang was essentially using a stealth skill equivalent to a level 1000 rogue!
That also meant—it would take a level 1000 detection skill to see through him.
But as of now…
No one in the entire world had ever reached level 1000.
In other words—
Once this aura was active, practically no one in the world could see Chen Yang or his summon.
The moment God-Hidden Aura(God-tier Aura) activated, both he and Sylvie vanished into the forest.
"???"
Sylvie blinked in confusion as her slender arm turned transparent.
Of course she knew what this meant—she'd gone invisible!
But the key point was…
She could see her own invisibility level: 100!
That number left her utterly stunned.
Was this really Chen Yang's ability?
It was stronger than the elders of her elven clan!
She couldn't help stealing a surprised glance at him.
From her view, his body was semi-transparent like her own—but to outsiders, the two of them had completely disappeared into the woods.
This human…
The things he could do… were beyond extraordinary!
