Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

Mo Hong arrived at the location very quickly.

At that moment, a medium armored vehicle was parked to the side, and three people were waiting nearby.

As Mo Hong approached, he first nodded respectfully to the middle-aged man in the trench coat in front of him and said, "Instructor Li."

Li Xingguo nodded slightly, indicating his approval.

Mo Hong glanced at the other two people, namely Shu Yuqing and a short-haired young man whom Mo Hong did not recognize.

Today, Shu Yuqing wore a black baseball cap, a black jacket, and jeans, looking very androgynous with a touch of androgynous beauty.

As for the other short-haired youth, he carried a huge sword sheath on his back, and he looked very composed and steady.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's get on the bus."

After saying that, Li Xingguo got into the car first, followed closely by Mo Hong and the other two.

The driver then started the car and began heading towards the destination.

After getting on the bus, Mo Hong took the initiative to chat with the short-haired young man, asking, "Excuse me, my name is Mo Hong. What's your name?"

Hearing someone trying to chat with him, the short-haired youth paused for a moment before replying, "Just call me Gu Feng. So you're Mo Hong, the second-ranked freshman. I've heard so much about you."

Mo Hong smiled politely and then introduced Shu Yuqing to Gu Feng.

According to Gu Feng's own introduction, he ranked twelfth in the freshman test, which is quite good.

Because Mo Hong took the initiative to start a conversation, the three of them got to know each other at a basic level.

Just then, Li Xingguo, the mentor sitting next to him, saw that Mo Hong and the other two had nothing to talk about, so he said, "Since the three of you are already familiar with each other, I will briefly tell you about our destination."

When Li Xingguo spoke, all three of them pricked up their ears and listened attentively.

"Our destination this time is Yinchuan City in the Southern Theater Command. We only learned about the ancient martial arts site because it was reported to us by the local authorities."

"So this time it's not just our university; local Yinchuan University and other nearby universities will also bring students to participate."

Shu Yuqing and Gu Feng looked surprised, while Mo Hong remained calm, having already heard about it from Mo Shan.

Suddenly, Gu Feng asked first, "Professor Li, are we also facing freshmen from other schools this time?"

Hearing this, Li Xingguo shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it. Other schools might send second-year, third-year, or even fourth-year students, as long as their physical fitness is below level 10."

Upon hearing this, all three of them looked surprised.

"Don't forget that you come from Xuanwu University, a top-tier martial arts university. Although you are freshmen, you are already comparable to the seniors of other ordinary universities."

"The overall quality of students at other universities is not as high as yours. Our freshmen are at the level of seniors compared to those universities."

"For example, a senior student from a third-rate university only has a physical fitness level of 9, which is similar to Mo Hong's current physical fitness. In a one-on-one situation, Mo Hong might not necessarily lose."

Hearing this, Shu Yuqing and Gu Feng nodded, feeling that it made a lot of sense.

However, the two suddenly realized something, their faces filled with horror, and they looked at Mo Hong almost simultaneously.

"Mo Hong, it's only been a month since school started, and you're already in level 9?"

Gu Feng gasped, his face filled with disbelief.

Although Shu Yuqing, who was standing next to him, did not ask any questions, she was also very shocked. The main reason was that Mo Hong's progress was too terrifying. She herself was only at the late stage of level 8.

"There was indeed a breakthrough a few days ago."

Mo Hong nodded calmly.

Upon hearing Mo Hong's confirmation, the two of them looked at him as if he were a freak.

After the two calmed down, Shu Yuqing continued to ask, "Instructor Li, why did Xuanwu University only send three people? Couldn't we have sent more?"

Mo Hong and Gu Feng also had some questions about this.

Li Xingguo then explained, "Because the number of visitors allowed to this ancient martial arts site is limited, the local government of Yinchuan City has to restrict the number of visitors."

"For example, in order to give preference to Yinchuan University, the city of Yinchuan gave Yinchuan University six exploration slots, while other universities only had three slots each."

Mo Hong and the other two looked enlightened.

"Professor, aren't six spots too many for Yinchuan University? That's already twice as many as other universities, isn't it?"

Mo Hong asked, puzzled.

Hearing this, Li Xingguo smiled and said, "Mo Hong, you are too naive. Do you really think Yinchuan City wants to share these spots? They would love for all the spots to go to Yinchuan University. If it weren't for the higher-ups forcing the local leaders of Yinchuan City to give up some spots, you wouldn't have had the chance to participate this time."

Upon hearing this explanation, Mo Hong couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Finally, I'd like to remind you that once you enter the Ancient Martial Arts Ruins, you'll be randomly teleported to any location, and even communication devices will be lost inside. So, once you're inside, you two should quickly find Mo Hong to avoid any unnecessary accidents."

"An accident?"

The expressions on the three people's faces froze.

"I forgot to tell you this. Since the ancient martial arts ruins are like an independent space, whether you are killed by him or die during the trial after entering, it will be considered an accident."

"In other words, this mission carries a certain risk of death."

Li Xingguo spoke calmly.

"It's not just this mission; every semester's mission carries a certain risk of death. This is because Xuanwu University doesn't cultivate hothouse flowers. To become a martial artist, one must face the probability of death."

As Li Xingguo slowly spoke, the three of them fell silent for a moment.

"If you don't want to participate when you get to Yinchuan, you can tell me. The school won't force everyone. However, even if you don't complete this semester's assignment, you must complete another one later."

After speaking, Li Xingguo glanced at the three silent and solemn people, and did not continue to speak.

He has been a mentor for more than ten years, and every time he leads freshmen to carry out their first semester assignment, the freshmen are basically all frowning.

However, he also understood that when it comes to life and death, no one is immune to nervousness, and it takes time for the mind to adjust.

"Sigh, we'll get used to the semester's tasks once these new students get used to it."

Li Xingguo thought to himself.

It only takes half a day to travel from Qixing City to Yinchuan City, but the atmosphere inside the car was rather somber.

Clearly, due to the risk of death that Li Xingguo had just mentioned, no one was in the mood for conversation for the time being.

However, Mo Hong was the first to come to terms with it.

"At worst, I'll just die. Back in my senior year of high school, I aspired to become a martial artist to protect my country and resist foreign invaders. Besides, I still have to complete the semester's tasks even if I quit this time. It's not certain that the next one will be easier than this one."

"If I were to always be timid and cowardly, then I wouldn't need to be a martial artist, and there would be no point in me going to martial arts university."

Thinking of this, Mo Hong's somewhat confused gaze became firm again.

Li Xingguo saw all of this and couldn't help but nod to himself.

"Mo Shan was right after all. Mo Hong is indeed a promising talent. Just based on his fearless attitude, as long as he doesn't die halfway through, his future martial arts level will definitely be high!"

Li Xing commented from within the country.
