Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

Outside the virtual realm, many mentors watched the numerous battles on the electronic screens and couldn't help but start talking.

Several mentors' eyes lit up when they saw a young man forcefully slaying eight level 8 spider demons.

"Zhuang Hongzhe truly deserves to be the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination in the Southern Theater Command; he's definitely got some serious skills."

"Judging from Zhuang Hongzhe's swordsmanship, he has probably mastered it for a long time. Although he is still some distance from perfection, it is quite good. When I was his age, I was far inferior to him."

One mentor remarked with emotion.

Suddenly, a scene of someone wielding a long spear and instantly sweeping away four level 8 monsters once again attracted everyone's attention.

"That kid holding the gun is called Xiao Ye. I think he was specially recruited from the city by Instructor Chen Chun. I heard he awakened a high-grade Yellow Rank Gun Soul. Instructor Chen Chun's eye for talent is indeed sharp."

The instructor, named Chen Chun, was a hook-nosed man wearing a green instructor's robe and came from the Earth-character Dojo.

Hearing the praise from the group, he smiled and waved his hand.

Then Chen Chun glanced at a figure not far away, seemingly casually, and sneered, "Mentor Mo Shan, I remember you also went for special recruitment, right? Do you have any good candidates to recommend?"

Mo Shan had been keeping an eye on the people he had specially recruited, and found that apart from Shu Yuqing and Mo Hong who were somewhat outstanding, the rest were all too mediocre.

This made him frown.

Upon hearing Chen Chun's words, Mo Shan's face turned ashen. He wanted to point out someone but couldn't find one, so he couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"Haha, Instructor Mo, there's no need to be so conflicted. Let me take a look for you. This kid with the knife seems to be one of your special recruits, right? Why don't you let the other instructors give their opinions and see what Instructor Mo's judgment is all about?"

Suddenly, Chen Chun smiled and pointed to one person among the hundreds of images.

"Oh? This freshman's situation doesn't seem too good."

The attention of many mentors was instantly drawn, and they became interested.

Mo Shan's face grew increasingly grim as he stared at Mo Hong on the screen and silently prayed.

"Mo Hong, you absolutely have to give it your all!"

Because of the two abbots of the Xuanzi and Dizi Daoist temples, the two temples have always had a bad relationship, and he and Chen Chun had a dispute in their early years.

The attention from so many mentors prevented Mo Shan from getting angry at Chen Chun for the time being. He could only suppress his anger and secretly hope that Mo Hong could step in.

……

a few minutes ago.

Within the void realm, Mo Hong continued southward, successively killing over thirty demonic beasts along the way. His points rose to over three hundred, placing him fifty-sixth in the rankings.

Looking at the ever-increasing points of the top-ranked bracelets, Mo Hong couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. It was all because he had been teleported to a bad location in the Void Realm, and he had encountered very few monsters along the way.

At the same time, Mo Hong had a sudden thought and opened the data panel.

Host: Mo Hong

Level: Unranked, Level 8 (9%)

Skills: Basic Training Method (Beginner) +, Swordsmanship (Perfect) +

Perception Element (Elemental Soul): Blade Soul (Low Yellow Rank) +

Devouring points: 214

……

"At first, when I hunted monsters, my Devour Points would increase by a few points each time. But after reaching 200 points, I only gained 1 point for each monster I killed."

Even killing monsters below level 7 doesn't grant a single Devour Point.

As Mo Hong was walking and thinking, he noticed the situation ahead, his brows furrowed slightly, and he stopped in his tracks.

At this moment, seven tiger demons blocked the way ahead, drooling as they stared at Mo Hong's body, their greed undisguised.

"There are a total of eight demonic beasts, five of which are level 8 and two are level 7."

Sensing the aura emanating from the demonic beasts, Mo Hong instantly assessed their level.

"If it were fifty demonic beasts blocking my way, I might hesitate."

Mo Hong drew his battle sword and said softly as he walked forward.

"But with just this many, they won't last more than a few of my cuts."

Mo Hong's pace quickened, and he went from walking slowly to running.

In the blink of an eye, Mo Hong flashed past like a ghost and appeared in front of the nearest tiger demon, raising his battle blade instantly.

With a single, sweeping vertical slash, the blade moved with powerful, surging force.

Before the tiger demon could react, its entire body was split in half from the head upwards, blood mist flying everywhere, a scene of extreme brutality.

After the remaining six tiger demons realized what was happening, they roared and charged towards Mo Hong.

Some opened their gaping maws, as if trying to tear them apart with their sharp teeth.

Some of them leaped up and used their sharp tiger claws to grab at Mo Hong.

The attacks of the six tiger demons landed on Mo Hong almost simultaneously.

Mo Hong's expression was indifferent. He glanced at them and, despite their simultaneous attack, neither retreated nor dodged, remaining standing in place.

At the critical moment, Mo Hong suddenly drew his battle sword from his arm.

"Draw your sword and kill!"

In an instant, time seemed to freeze, and the attacks of the six demonic beasts seemed to slow down by dozens of times.

A crescent-shaped blade flashed across the sky, as dazzling as the bright moon, drawing people's attention.

"Pfft! Pfft pfft pfft!!!!"

Suddenly, six heads shot into the sky, spraying out jets of blood.

The six demonic beast corpses fell to the ground simultaneously, twitched a few times, and then remained motionless.

Mo Hong sheathed his sword, remaining calm as if nothing had happened.

After glancing behind him and finding nothing amiss, Mo Hong quickly headed to the next location.

……

When the mentors saw Mo Hong kill six tigers with a single stroke, they fell silent for a moment.

"A killing move? It seems this new student named Mo Hong has at least mastered the swordsmanship, and has even comprehended a killing move. Instructor Mo Shan has a very sharp eye for talent!"

One of the instructors exclaimed in amazement.

"Indeed, the killing move is a summary and innovation of his own martial arts skills. I didn't expect that this young student would have such a deep understanding of martial arts at such a young age."

"Based on this alone, Mo Hong's future is not something to be underestimated."

This statement drew nods of agreement from the other professors.

Mo Shan was slightly taken aback before she realized what Mo Hong was doing.

He was still a little shocked. He hadn't expected Mo Hong to be so cunning, making him worry for nothing.

Hearing the praise from those around him, Mo Shan felt a sense of joy and smiled modestly, waving his hand.

As for Chen Chun, who was not far away, his face immediately fell when he saw Mo Shan, who had taken the limelight.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have picked Mo Hong. I had to pick the strongest one. I could have picked someone else. Now I've let that old guy steal the spotlight."

For a moment, Chen Chun wished he could slap himself a few times.

He even began to suspect that Mo Shan had deliberately pretended at the beginning, pretending to be deaf and dumb when he clearly had something to offer.

However, this was merely a trivial incident; not half the time had passed, and the main event had not yet begun.
