Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

The vast, boundless green forest is teeming with life.

Three incredibly fast black shadows darted through the dense jungle with a "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sound.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao formed a team and moved with great speed and agility, leaping and advancing between several dense trees.

After moving swiftly for a while, the three small children hid themselves again with perfect understanding.

Night Song and the others are already ten years old.

At ten years old, in this world teeming with myriad races and brimming with spiritual energy, one is already considered an adult.

With sufficient nurturing, a ten-year-old child can already comprehend most things in the world.

As students of the War Academy, they are required to accept and carry out missions from a young age, just like ordinary human superhuman warriors.

This is also a form of training for students.

Students who graduate from the War Academy are the backbone of their respective families and factions.

In the future, they will also be an important fighting force for the Qin Empire on the battlefield of all races.

The tasks assigned to elementary school students are generally not too difficult, usually between F and E level. These tasks might include helping to find lost items, investigating thieves, rescuing kittens trapped high in the air, or collecting spiritual plants from low-risk areas in the wild.

The most difficult thing is dealing with criminals such as thieves, robbers, thugs, hooligans, kidnappers, and fraudsters.

Although these criminals are adults, they are ordinary people, not superhumans. Therefore, even a primary school student in the Yellow Realm could easily deal with them.

Elementary school students' missions generally don't involve bandit gangs with superhuman abilities, nor do they involve creatures of various races.

However, there are always unexpected events...

Unlike reality, the difficulty of tasks in games is fixed.

In reality, you never know what unexpected events or changes might occur.

"Night Song..."

Xia Xiyao whispered, "The difficulty of our mission this time should have exceeded the graduation level of sixth graders, right? Those bandits seem to have guns?"

"Hmm." Night Song, hidden in the dense canopy, calmly observed the surrounding environment: "Stay close to me, and don't fall behind."

"But wouldn't it be too dangerous to go any further?" Xia Xiyao asked worriedly. "The original mission only had three bandits, but now there are at least twenty... Should we go back and report to our teacher first?"

Gao Shenxue turned her head to look and said softly, "This is no longer the difficulty of an E-level mission. I also think that a temporary retreat would be safer."

"Crow~"

A jet-black raven flapped its wings, flew back, and landed on Night Song's shoulder, its crimson eyes sparkling with intelligence.

Night Song paused for a moment, as if he heard the crow say something to him: "It's too late."

"Watch out, they're coming!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than several dark figures flashed out from the bushes with a "whoosh" sound!

"Shh-!"

A dark figure wearing a bandit's hood suddenly darted out from the dense canopy of trees, wielding a sharp dagger, and came straight at you!

The short sword slashed straight at Ye Ge's neck with incredible speed!

It drew a blinding, cold light through the air!

Ye Ge watched the short knife slash towards him with his own eyes, his gaze as calm as still water.

However, it did not make any dodging motion at all.

"Hehe... Go to hell, you brat!"

The vicious bandit thought Ye Ge was already terrified and revealed a cruel sneer.

He could already picture the scene of the knife slicing through Ye Ge's neck and hot blood splattering everywhere!

However, the moment this slash struck Ye Ge...

Suddenly, Ye Ge's figure transformed into a wisp of eerie black mist with a "poof," scattering away in all directions!

The bandits looked stunned.

Before he could react, the eerie black mist quickly gathered behind him and took shape, transforming into the form of Night Song.

Ye Ge's eyes were indifferent, and a black metal straight sword appeared in his hand.

A decisive and swift strike.

A cold, sharp light pierced through his chest!

"Pfft——!"

"Uh..." The bandit stared wide-eyed down at the straight knife protruding from his chest, seemingly not understanding how he died even in death.

"what......"

The bandit fell from the tree and crashed heavily to the ground.

After a while.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao also fell from the tree and landed on an open space.

The bandits also jumped down from the trees one after another.

About twenty bandits wearing hoods appeared from the dense jungle on all sides and surrounded them.

The bandit leader looked at the dead bandit on the ground, paused, and said, "These kids nowadays are really ruthless. They killed one of my brothers in one fell swoop."

Ye Ge glanced at the bandit leader and narrowed his eyes: "Seventh level of the Yellow Realm?"

It seems there was indeed a problem with the intelligence for this mission.

It was clearly only an E-level mission; it should have just been a group of ordinary people organized into bandits.

Now, the other side not only has guns, but also a superhuman in the Yellow Realm!

This clearly falls into the category of a D-level mission!

and......

More than one!

Night Song glanced around at the bandits surrounding them.

There were at least a dozen people, all of whom were extraordinary individuals with the strength of the Yellow Realm!

"Hehe, the kid has good taste."

"These people should be students from the War Academy."

"Ah."

The bandit leader's eyes gleamed with amusement as he pulled out a dagger and twirled it in his hand. He walked towards them step by step, saying, "It's a pity... You can only blame your bad luck for accepting our mission... Hmm?"

Before he could finish speaking, the bandit leader sensed a terrifying dark aura spreading outwards...

Ye Ge's expression was indifferent, and he was surrounded by a strange black mist. One after another, black crows flapped their wings and flew out from the void of black mist, emitting sharp and piercing cries!

"First level of the Profound Realm?!"

The bandit leader's pupils contracted, thinking he had misjudged the situation.

A primary school student, with the strength of the Profound Realm?

Are you kidding me?!

Are Xuanjing masters so worthless these days?

The other bandits were dumbfounded, while the dozen or so crows were already flapping their wings and flying towards them.

"What is this?!"

The bandits frantically swung their knives at the crows.

However, with each strike, the crows seemed to disappear, transforming into ethereal black mist that scattered and then eerily enveloped and bound them.

"what......"

"ah......!!"

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Amidst screams of agony, in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bandits inexplicably collapsed, enveloped in a strange black mist.

Before they died, they all clutched their throats, their eyes wide open, drenched in cold sweat, their faces contorted in extreme pain, their bodies gradually stiffening...

Within seconds, all of them had stopped breathing!

The other bandits also panicked immediately.

"This kid is weird!"

"Don't fight him head-on! Grab those two girls over there!"

"Use those two girls as hostages!"

Soon someone realized what was happening.

A tall thug suddenly appeared behind Gao Shenxue, grabbed her neck with his arm, and held a knife to her face.

The tall thug, holding the girl hostage, said to Ye Ge in a deep voice, "Don't move, brat! Or I'll kill her!"

Even when Gao Shenxue was held hostage by the bandits, she did not struggle. The expression on her face remained unchanged, like the icy river that never changes, calm and elegant.

Ye Ge turned around and glanced at the bandit, slightly taken aback.

"Are you sure you want to arrest her?"
