Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

Half a day passed quickly.

The armored vehicle quickly arrived at the city gate of Yinchuan.

After the city guards' routine inspection, they were allowed to enter the city gate.

I glanced out the window at the cityscape of Yinchuan, where skyscrapers of all kinds were springing up everywhere.

Turning his head, Mo Hong noticed a virtual projection appear in front of Li Xingguo, and he was communicating with the person in the image.

Mo Hong vaguely heard that it was a conversation with high-ranking university officials in Yinchuan.

Li Xingguo quickly ended the conversation, then turned to Mo Hong and the other two and said, "Get ready, we'll be at our lodgings soon. The Ancient Martial Arts Ruins won't officially open until the day after tomorrow."

All three nodded.

Not long after, the armored vehicle stopped in front of a tall building.

Mo Hong noticed that there were already more than a dozen people standing at the door.

Li Xingguo appeared very composed. He got out of the car first, followed closely by Mo Hong and the other two.

"On behalf of all the senior leaders of Yinchuan University, I welcome the guests from Xuanwu University. This must be Professor Li, right? His demeanor is truly extraordinary!"

A man with a long face, dressed in a suit and tie, smiled and extended a hand to Li Xingguo, taking the lead in welcoming him.

"You must be Mr. Sun Qisheng, the vice president of Yinchuan University. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Li Xingguo smiled and extended a hand as well.

Vice-Chancellor?

Mo Hong was secretly shocked, never expecting that a mere tutor from Xuanwu University would require a vice-principal to receive him.

Mo Hong suddenly realized that he had underestimated the level of Xuanwu University.

The two shook hands briefly and then let go.

"These three must be geniuses from Xuanwu University. As expected of students from a top university, they all look very talented. They will surely be the backbone of humanity's resistance against the demon race in the future."

Suddenly, Sun Qisheng turned to look at Mo Hong and the other two and praised them.

Li Xingguo quickly said, "You younger folks mustn't forget your manners and thank them immediately."

Therefore, the three of them expressed their gratitude to Sun Qisheng.

After that, the two had a brief conversation about some matters, mostly just superficial pleasantries.

This whole process took a good ten minutes. After the conversation ended, they were led by hotel staff to check into the building.

After registering their basic information, the four people each received a room key, and the rooms were all next to each other.

Mo Hong went into his room, took off his clothes, and lay down on the bed.

Staring at the ceiling of the room, Mo Hong's thoughts were racing.

Suddenly, Mo Hong's phone vibrated.

Mo Hong quickly opened his phone and found that it was a message sent by Li Xingguo in the group, along with an email.

"Yinchuan University just sent me a list that includes all the universities that are going to explore the Drum Warrior Ruins. You can take a look so you can be mentally prepared."

This is the exact wording sent by Li Xingguo.

Mo Hong clicked on the link and was shocked to find that sixteen universities were participating. His pupils constricted involuntarily.

"Are so many universities going to participate?"

Mo Hong asked in surprise.

A quick glance revealed that Yinchuan University was at the top of the list, followed by Xuanwu University, and then the other universities.

Mo Hong noted that there were three first-class universities, including Yinchuan University, five second-class universities, and a total of eight third-class universities.

As for why there is no list of participants from various universities, Mo Hong estimates that Yinchuan University also could not collect this information.

After all, this involves the privacy of various universities, and Yinchuan University is also participating, making them competitors.

Moreover, Yinchuan University has a full five spots, giving it a numerical advantage, so basically no one would be foolish enough to provide them with internal personnel information.

While Mo Hong was pondering, Li Xingguo sent another message in the group.

"Come to my room first, I have some things to tell you."

After putting on his blue martial arts uniform, Mo Hong left the room.

When Mo Hong arrived at Li Xingguo's room, Shu Yuqing and Gu Feng had already arrived.

"Now that everyone's here, I'll get straight to the point."

Li Xingguo said, "Ancient martial arts relics are generally divided into two types. One is for inheritance, which is usually used to select suitable inheritors, so the danger is less."

"The other type is a burial site. You must be extremely careful with these. Since the creator intended to bury them here after death, they often set up layers of restrictions and dangerous areas within the ruins, making them extremely dangerous."

"The ancient martial arts ruins you are exploring have not yet been identified as what type they are, so you must be careful once you go in, otherwise we won't even be able to collect your body if you die unexpectedly."

Li Xingguo spoke earnestly.

Mo Hong and the other two had solemn expressions and nodded heavily.

"Another thing I want to point out is that you should be wary of people from other schools and not trust them easily, especially since you are the youngest among this group of explorers and are easily deceived."

"Professor, why are we being wary of people from other schools? Shouldn't we be thinking about cooperation first when we get in?"

Suddenly, Gu Feng asked, puzzled.

After a few seconds of silence, Li Xingguo slowly said, "When our students were carrying out semester tasks, we sometimes had to cooperate with people from other schools. There were several cases where our students were betrayed and killed by their partners because of fighting for treasures."

That's why I said you can't trust anyone from other schools, because people's hearts are unpredictable!

Upon hearing this, Gu Feng's expression changed, and he looked thoughtful.

"That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you." Li Xingguo continued, "I'll ask you one more time: is there anyone who wants to give up on this semester's assignment? If so, just say so."

All three remained silent.

"If you don't say anything, then you've already participated. Just don't regret it later."

Afterwards, Li Xingguo sent all three of them back.

, ...

Inside Mo Hong's room.

After swallowing a Qi and Blood Consolidation Pill, Mo Hong resumed his cultivation.

The Qi and Blood Consolidation Pill is the most suitable cultivation item for Mo Hong at this stage, according to the cultivation plan given by Mo Shan.

It took Mo Hong more than two hours to fully absorb the medicinal power.

Call ~

Exhaling a deep breath, Mo Hong opened the data panel.

Host: Mo Hong

Level: Unranked, Level 9 (75%)

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

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

Devouring points: 91

, ...

"Now I have reached the peak of level 9 and have the conditions to break through to the Xuan level."

Mo Hong only realized later that once a realm reaches its peak, one can advance to the next level without reaching the limit of that realm.

However, many people, in order to lay a solid foundation, often cultivate to the limit.
