Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Hong finally emerged from the inner hall.

The moment he stepped out, Mo Hong took a deep breath and felt a wave of relief wash over him.

"I wonder what's going on with Shu Yuqing now?"

Thinking of Shu Yuqing, Mo Hong felt a little worried and immediately ran towards the place where he had been hiding.

Meanwhile, when Shu Yuqing saw Mo Hong emerge unharmed, she was shocked and walked directly toward him.

Seeing Shu Yuqing show up on her own initiative, Mo Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

The two quickly reunited. "Mo Hong, you actually survived!"

Shu Yuqing looked Mo Hong up and down with her beautiful eyes, biting her lip lightly, her face full of worry.

Seeing Shu Yuqing like this, Mo Hong sighed inwardly.

He knew he had acted too rashly, leaving Shu Yuqing alone outside after he went into the inner hall.

Although Mo Hong was forced into it, he was indeed somewhat reckless.

Originally, Xuanwu University was meant to be led by him. Now that Gu Feng is dead, if Shu Yuqing also gets into trouble, Mo Hong really doesn't know how he will explain it after he leaves.

"Mo Hong, have you encountered those people?"

Shu Yuqing seemed quite nervous when she thought of those people from before, and described their appearance and characteristics to Mo Hong.

Upon hearing Shu Yuqing's description, Mo Hong raised an eyebrow slightly and immediately understood that it referred to the four extraterrestrial demons he had killed.

"According to Shu Yuqing's description, the extraterrestrial demon could easily defeat even a half-step Xuan-level being. If I were to say that I killed it, then my strength would be inexplicable."

Mo Hong's current strength is at the peak of level 9, and he has reached a perfect level of martial arts intent.

This level of strength is at most enough to contend with those at the half-step Xuan rank who are weaker in martial arts, and it is far from enough to kill those extraterrestrial demons.

Unless Mo Hong makes breakthroughs in these two areas.

If Shu Yuqing is told this, then after they leave the ruins, whether it's her or Mo Hong, they will be questioned by school leaders and relevant personnel.

Since Mo Hong's physical abilities have not improved, these people will think about Mo Hong's martial arts skills and even speculate that Mo Hong has comprehended the essence of the art!

For a freshman who has just turned eighteen to comprehend the essence of the art without any prior exposure to it is not just a matter of extraordinary talent, but something truly bizarre.

This could very well trigger an investigation by the alliance's top leadership, or even lead to their arrest and investigation.

Thinking of this, Mo Hong couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"After all, Shu Yuqing watched them go in. If I say I didn't see them, I'm afraid it will arouse their suspicion."

These thoughts only surfaced and lingered in Mo Hong's mind for a few breaths.

Mo Hong quickly replied to Shu Yuqing's words, his eyes seemingly recalling something, a hint of fear showing in them, "I did encounter a red-haired youth in the ruins. He attacked without warning."

"What I never expected was that although the aura he exuded was at the limit of level 9, he could directly use elemental souls, and the blood around him could condense into many tentacles, which was extremely terrifying!"

"what?"

Shu Yuqing's pupils contracted slightly as she instantly thought of the girl with black hair and red eyes from before.

The girl was also somewhat strange; a huge red-eyed phantom appeared behind her, seemingly able to imprison the four students from Wild Extreme University and Python Wind University in place.

Shu Yuqing's heart pounded wildly when she saw this mysterious and unpredictable ability, but she had no idea what it was.

Now that Mo Hong explained it this way, Shu Yuqing finally understood.

"Mo Hong, how did you survive?"

Shu Yuqing looked nervous and asked cautiously.

"I was defeated by him in just a few moves. When I saw that things were not going well, I ran away. Luckily I escaped quickly, otherwise I probably wouldn't have made it out alive."

Mo Hong, with a look of lingering shock, spoke slowly.

"Um, did you escape?"

Shu Yuqing's pretty face showed a slight surprise. She had thought that Mo Hong had killed the red-haired youth and survived.

Seemingly realizing she had lost her composure, Shu Yuqing quickly comforted her, "It's good that you escaped; at least you survived."

However, he had already noticed this contrast in Shu Yuqing, and Mo Hong couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

"But it's not exactly something to be proud of to say that you escaped."

Mo Hong thought to himself.

"We should act quickly. There's less than an hour before the exit of the ruins opens. Let's leave here for now to prevent those people from coming out again."

Mo Hong's expression was solemn, and he looked very cautious.

This statement received Shu Yuqing's nod of support.

Without further hesitation, the two quickly left the place.

, ...

Outside the ruins.

The professors at each school would occasionally glance at the time on their watches.

Now, there are only five minutes left before the passage to this ancient martial arts ruins opens!

Li Xingguo was with several leaders from Yinchuan University, as well as tutors from several other universities.

"Principal Li, six people from your Yinchuan University went in to explore this time. I'm sure they've gained a lot from it."

"A mentor from a second-rate martial arts university said with a smile."

Li Qisheng waved his hand modestly and said, "After the students go in, they will be scattered. The treasures in this ruin are mainly for the capable, not for the majority."

Although Li Qisheng spoke modestly, a smile still unconsciously appeared on his lips.

After all, compared to the three students from other universities, Yinchuan University still has an advantage in terms of numbers.

Furthermore, since the students sent by Xuanwu University were freshmen, their threat level dropped sharply.

Li Xingguo glanced at the gate of the ruins, his mind racing with thoughts.

"I wonder how much Mo Hong and the other two have gained. I hope they are all safe and sound."

Suddenly, there seemed to be a faint spatial fluctuation inside the gate of the ruins.

"Everyone, the three days are up."

A university professor spoke up to offer a reminder.

Therefore, Li Qisheng directly ordered the guards to open the gate.

As the stone door was opened, a chaotic and pitch-black void once again appeared before our eyes.

The group wasn't in a hurry, as it would take the students some time to find the entrance to the passage within the ruins.

About five minutes later, a figure finally emerged from the gate.

A young man with black, tousled hair, dressed in a light blue outfit, slowly walked out. It was Mo Hong.

Following closely behind was a short-haired girl with delicate features, wearing a black jacket.

Upon seeing the two figures, Li Xingguo quickly beckoned Mo Hong and Shu Yuqing over and led them to a secluded corner, intending to question them privately.

Suddenly, Li Xingguo noticed that one person was missing and immediately asked, "Mo Hong, why isn't Gu Feng with you?"

Upon hearing this question, Shu Yuqing's eyes dimmed, and Mo Hong's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Li Xingguo noticed the change in their expressions and had a vague idea of ​​what was going on.

Mo Hong sighed and said heavily, "Instructor Li, Gu Feng was killed on the very first day."
