By the time Dong Tianyu reached the Golden Core Stage, it hardly needed to be said that he could easily seal off the aura around his body.

Let alone breathing with his mouth, Dong Tianyu was now capable of closing off the pores on his skin.

Knowing that the room was dangerous, how could Dong Tianyu not be prepared for it?

So, despite entering the room in a seemingly careless manner, Dong Tianyu had actually made meticulous preparations in secret.

Especially when the other party unashamedly and proudly declared that his potent poison was transmitted through the air.

Dong Tianyu appeared calm and composed on the surface, but deep down he was actually relieved.

Furthermore, after his Flying Swords swept away the black robe shielding the other’s body, Dong Tianyu understood why his previous thrusts had caused no harm.

If before entering the room, Dong Tianyu’s attack on the opponent’s head with his Flying Swords had caused no harm because they were not in the same space,

then after entering the room, the target of the Flying Swords’ attacks was not the head, but the heart region.

The opponent, after being poisoned, had shrunk to the thickness of a pole, with an appearance akin to a stick figure; no wonder that despite Dong Tianyu attacking the area where the heart should be, it had caused no harm whatsoever.

Dong Tianyu had not expected that the opponent’s initial plan was to lure him into the room.

Then, by any possible means, delay him, keep Dong Tianyu occupied inside the room; the longer Dong Tianyu stayed, the greater the chances he would be poisoned.

As long as the poison penetrated deep into Dong Tianyu’s bones, victory would become easily attainable.

However, the adversary had not anticipated that Dong Tianyu already possessed the ability to close his skin pores and halt breathing; hence, despite having been in the room for quite some time and conversing at length, Dong Tianyu showed no signs of poisoning.

Having fully witnessed the other’s expression change from elation to shock and bewilderment, Dong Tianyu no longer wished to waste time with him.

As the previously hovering Flying Swords returned behind him, the opponent’s pole-like body instantly became torn asunder.

Following that, a notification sounded in his ear: arrest successful, with the notification that two more were hidden remaining.

Looking at the more than half spent time, Dong Tianyu felt no urgency, as there were only two remaining. Though they had hidden well and had not been discovered by Dong Tianyu,

by now, every movable item in the Mysterious Realm that was not connected to the cabin had been taken into the Storage Space. Facing the empty Mysterious Realm, Dong Tianyu did not find it difficult to capture the remaining two.

After the hider’s death, the Parallel Space he had created vanished instantly, and Dong Tianyu, who had been in the Parallel Space, naturally returned to the room.

Looking at the empty room, Dong Tianyu did not take shortcuts but instead used his Divine Sense to scan repeatedly.

As expected, it turned up completely empty.

Nevertheless, Dong Tianyu did not give up. He expanded his Divine Sense to its maximum range to meticulously search the top floor’s three rooms once more. Confirming there were no clues, he casually closed the door and still made a mark, almost out of habit.

After leaving the top floor, Dong Tianyu returned to the middle level, not only meticulously surveying the surroundings with his Divine Sense at all times but also checking the marks he had left on the cabin doors to see if there were any signs of tampering.

Regrettably, whether the opponents were truly cunning or had remained transformed and motionless from the beginning was unknown, otherwise there would surely have been some trace.

After finishing with the middle level, Dong Tianyu once again entered the lower hold. The lower hold was as empty as ever since Dong Tianyu had already removed all the stored supplies, so the emptiness was expected.

Zachary was extremely meticulous in his search but failed to even roughly pinpoint the area where his opponent might be, not to mention discovering any clues.

Zachary once again replayed the events in his mind, going back to when he first entered the Mysterious Realm, and until now, in hopes of finding some clues hidden within.

As Zachary sat cross-legged on the ground to recall, all his experiences since entering the Mysterious Realm flashed before him like a PowerPoint presentation, and he carefully observed them frame by frame.

Even so, after two hours had passed, not only had he not found anyone, he hadn’t even discovered the slightest clue.

At this point, scientific methods had proven incapable of locating the remaining two individuals.

The approach to be used next was, somewhat, unscientific.

Because the hiders could transform perfectly, matching the appearance and temperament of their disguise, Zachary decided to play it dirty this time.

He dug out an old flamethrower from his Storage Space, filled it with fuel, and went about as if he were carrying out a disinfection operation; not sparing any place, he thoroughly sprayed each spot for a full minute.

One minute was enough for the flamethrower to turn any combustible material into ash, blackening the areas it treated.

After a short while, Zachary felt that using one flamethrower was too slow, so he commanded ten flamethrowers side-by-side using the Art of Controlling Objects, ensuring he missed no area, no matter how small.

The flamethrower quickly covered the entire lower level, and soon as he finished with the ground part, Zachary immediately controlled the flamethrowers to target the support columns of the bottom warehouse, giving them an all-around ’makeover’ without dead angles.

After all the support columns in the lower storage were coated with a protective layer of black, Zachary then turned to consider the issues with the four walls and the bulbs on the roof of the warehouse.

As time slowly passed and less than six hours remained, Zachary actually started to become a bit anxious; otherwise, he wouldn’t have immediately begun trying out each new idea that came to mind.

This approach was unique to Zachary; others facing the same situation might not have considered such a method, or seen it as too extravagant, despite its effectiveness in damaging every area without dead angles; it was indeed quite wasteful.

No wonder people often say that failure is the mother of success, yet no one mentions that each failure results in significant losses.

To be bold in the face of defeat is the way to succeed.

This phrase might look very inspiring, but what’s often left unsaid is that trial and error come with a cost; each failure signifies the squandering of money, energy, time, and many other things.

If one doesn’t have substantial family resources or someone to back them up, remember this, it’s better to do nothing than to attempt something recklessly.

As with entrepreneurship, children from ordinary families who have just graduated should not think of starting their own business.

If entrepreneurial activities require family support, then you must remember that at best your family can back you only once.

Don’t be fooled by those from wealthy backgrounds and their methods of teaching their children; they can afford to let their kids repeatedly try and learn from their failures until they ultimately succeed.

The truth is, those people are just like you; unless they come from exceptional families, their chances of entrepreneurial success without relying on their parents are low, just like for most people.

The reason they can successfully start businesses has little to do with their previous failures; success is simply success.

Just as with Zachary now, if he continues this carpet-style sweeping method, the ultimate victory will surely belong to him.

After moving to the middle level, just as Zachary expected, amidst the relentless attacks of the flamethrowers, he once again heard the prompt in his ears indicating the successful capture of a hider, leaving only one remaining.
