Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

Not long after, Mo Hong received a message from Mo Shan.

"Mo Hong, I already know that you defeated Zhou Tong. Come over here."

Upon seeing the message on his phone, Mo Hong quickly got dressed and rushed over.

Inside Mo Shan's mansion.

In a private room, Mo Shan and Mo Hong sat facing each other.

At this moment, Mo Shan was looking at the white document in his hand when he suddenly muttered to himself, "Ten days ago, your physical fitness had already reached level 9, and your martial arts skills were even more perfect in your sparring with Zhou Tong. Mo Hong, I still underestimated you too much."

Finally, Mo Shan put down the white file that recorded Mo Hong's growth trajectory and exclaimed in amazement.

Mo Hong smiled and replied respectfully, "My rapid progress is all thanks to following my mentor's guidance."

Hearing Mo Hong's intentional or unintentional flattery, Mo Shan feigned anger and said, "You don't need to flatter me. Without talent and hard work as a basis, even the best cultivation plan is out of the question."

However, Mo Hong noticed that Mo Shan seemed very angry, but his tone of reprimand was very gentle, and he immediately realized that Mo Shan was actually secretly pleased.

Mo Hong didn't make things clear, adopting an attitude of obediently admitting his mistake.

Mo Shan was secretly very satisfied with Mo Hong's performance and gave him a comment: "Not arrogant or impatient."

So he said again, "Mo Hong, as a member of our Xuanwu University, you should know that you have to complete a semester task assigned by your tutor every semester, right?"

Mo Hong nodded; he was sure he knew about this school rule.

"This time I'll give you a task, and your current conditions are just right."

Mo Hong immediately became interested and asked, "Instructor Mo, what kind of mission is it?"

"It mainly concerns the exploration of an ancient martial arts site. Since the entrance requires physical fitness to be below level 10, I think your current situation is quite suitable."

Mo Shan spoke calmly.

"Ancient martial arts relics?"

Mo Hong's pupils contracted slightly, and he asked again, "Instructor Mo, what is this ancient martial arts ruin?"

"The ancient martial arts ruins were left behind by martial artists on Earth tens of thousands of years ago in order to pass on their mantle. Our alliance has explored many of these ruins and obtained many precious treasures and legacies!"

"Moreover, those ancient martial arts practitioners who can establish their own lineages are by no means ordinary people. They were likely powerful figures who could command the wind and rain in that era."

"However, some ruins also have certain requirements, such as requiring at least a Yuanhun talent to enter. This time, you are restricted to levels below 10."

Mo Shan explained slowly.

"Mentor, did our Earth actually have martial artists tens of thousands of years ago?"

However, Mo Hong noticed this.

Upon hearing Mo Hong raise this question, Mo Shan remained silent for a few seconds before speaking seriously, “At first, we also did not believe that there would be martial artists tens of thousands of years ago. However, more than 30 years ago, a high-ranking member of our Zhongfeng Alliance accidentally explored the ruins of an ancient peerless expert.”

"I then learned that tens of thousands of years ago, martial arts were very prosperous on Earth, and there were martial artists everywhere. However, after an event called the 'Doomsday Catastrophe,' all living beings were wiped out. That powerful man recorded this in his dying moments."

"However, another site of the demon race that we explored indicates that the demon race was the first species to emerge after Earth recovered, and that we humans were born later."

After hearing this, Mo Hong was shocked and realized that he had overheard some important secret.

"Oh dear, I'm so confused. Why did I tell you all this? These secrets are only known to the higher echelons of humanity. Mo Hong, you must keep this a secret and not discuss it with anyone else, understand?"

Mo Shan slapped his forehead, quite annoyed.

So he quickly told Mo Hong not to talk nonsense.

Mo Hong nodded emphatically with a serious expression.

Then Mo Shan changed the subject and continued to talk about the task for this semester, "Since our Xuanzi Dojo took on this task first, it will be completed by a few people from our Xuanzi Dojo."

"Are there other people?"

Mo Hong was somewhat taken aback.

"Yes, there are three people in total. Our Xuanzi Dojo instructors have already decided that you will be the first one. The remaining two are still being selected, but this mission will mainly be led by you!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Hong's heart tightened, and he instantly felt a heavy burden.

"A mentor will take you to your destination in three days. You can prepare yourself."

"Oh, by the way, this time it's not just people from Xuanwu University, people from other schools will also be participating."

Upon hearing this, Mo Hong's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked, "Are there other people? Are the instructors all from top martial arts universities?"

Seeing Mo Hong's serious expression, Mo Shan gestured for Mo Hong not to be nervous and slowly said, "Since the location is in our Southern War Zone, only our Xuanwu University will come from the four top universities. The rest are students from first-class, second-class, and even third-class universities."

Mo Hong suddenly realized.

He instantly realized that since the other three top universities were all located in their respective war zones, each with many ruins or virtual realms to explore, there was no need to travel all the way to the southern war zone.

"Alright, that's all I have to tell you. Go back and prepare. We'll set off in three days."

Mo Hong nodded silently and then left.

Over the past three days, Mo Hong has spent most of his time improving his physical fitness, since he has not yet reached the limit of level 9.

The last night.

A figure moved continuously within the room, performing a series of moves according to the cultivation method.

Finally, after about three hours, the figure finally stopped.

Mo Hong frowned slightly as he felt the soreness in his muscles.

With a thought, Mo Hong opened the data panel.

Host: Mo Hong

Level: Unranked, Level 9 (67%)

Skills: Basic Training Method (Beginner) +, The Essence of the Blade

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

Devouring points: 82

, ...

"Over the past three days, I have tried my best to absorb the medicinal power at the very limit of my body's tolerance. Continuing to cultivate would be counterproductive and would harm my body."

Mo Hong shook his head and stopped cultivating.

As for the martial arts skills on this data panel, no points have appeared since reaching the Intent level.

This change left Mo Hong frowning inwardly, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"Well, from now on we can only take it one step at a time and hope that things will turn around in the future."

Mo Hong could only hope in secret.

, ...

The next morning, the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

Since today was the departure day, Mo Hong got up early and rushed to the school's meeting point.

"Who are the other two people?"

Mo Hong couldn't help but think about this as he made his way there.
