Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

The crowd looked at the three school officials in the center and said coldly.

"Gentlemen, I deeply regret this matter, but the fact that none of my people from Python Wind University have emerged from the ruins indicates that the murderers are essentially dead inside."

"Furthermore, I can guarantee that Python Wind University absolutely did not issue any orders to kill other students, and I myself am also very angry."

The hook-nosed man looked heartbroken and swore an oath.

The principals of the other two schools were also following suit in a similar manner.

"While the murderers have indeed not emerged from the ruins, the suspicion against your three universities cannot be ruled out."

Li Qisheng's face was icy cold as he directly ordered, "The three of you can stay here for now. I will report this matter to the relevant higher-ups and have them send people to investigate."

After he finished speaking, eight guards went over and detained the three men, and then a special car was called to escort them away.

Seeing the three being taken away, everyone's expressions varied, but most were quite unpleasant.

"Damn it, not a single person from our school survived. Those damned bastards."

A professor from a second-rate university looked ashen-faced; he didn't even know who the murderer was.

Since he led the team here, he will definitely be criticized when he returns to school.

In an instant, he vented his hatred directly on these three universities.

Not only him, but many university professors also looked grim because none of their students had survived.

"Mo Hong, it seems I misunderstood you. I will make it up to you when we return to school."

"At the same time, I will report your experience to the higher-ups of the school and the alliance. You are the only student who survived to enter this inner sanctum. Your information is basically unique, and the corresponding reward will definitely not be small."

Li Xingguo patted Mo Hong on the shoulder, hoping he wouldn't take offense.

Mo Hong waved his hand, indicating that he hadn't taken it to heart.

"There's no point in staying here now, so let's go back to the hotel we were at to rest for the night before heading back, and give the two of you a good rest."

Li Xingguo spoke first.

After three consecutive days of exploring the ruins, the two of them were under immense mental strain and needed proper rest.

The three then boarded the armored vehicle they had used to travel back and forth, and soon returned to the hotel.

Mo Hong lay down on the hotel's large bed and quickly fell asleep.

, ...

Ancient martial arts ruins, the sixth palace in the inner sanctum.

The body of a purple-haired youth lay silently in a pool of blood.

Suddenly, a burst of intense light erupted from his body, accompanied by a strong spatial fluctuation. A dark halo slowly formed, pulling the purple-haired youth's corpse into it.

Soon, the circle of light shrank to a point, and the corpse disappeared.

Only the blood demon's corpse remained inside the palace.

, ...

I don’t know how much time has passed.

When Mo Hong woke up, he looked out the window and found it was pitch black.

Mo Hong checked the time on his phone; it was already 9:30 PM.

Mo Hong quickly got up and took a hot shower.

After wandering through the ruins for three days, Mo Hong felt itchy and uncomfortable all over his body.

"I've heard that once a martial artist reaches a certain level, their physical body can become spotless."

Mo Hong thought to himself as he took a shower.

Unfortunately, he is still far from reaching that level.

Soon, Mo Hong changed into clean clothes and came out of the bathroom.

With a thought, Mo Hong opened the data panel.

Host: Mo Hong

Level: Unranked, Level 9 (81%)

Cultivation Method: Basic Cultivation Method (Introduction) +

Technique: The Essence of the Knife

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

Devouring points: 202

Blood essence absorption progress: 556/5000 (unawakened)

, ...

"Even without cultivation, my physical fitness is still slowly improving!"

Seeing that his physical fitness progress had increased from 79 to 81, Mo Hong was somewhat surprised.

Although he didn't know how he improved, Mo Hong only felt it was a good thing.

"After killing those two extraterrestrial demons, my essence blood only increased by one hundred points?"

At the same time, Mo Hong also noticed this subtle difference.

Suddenly, Mo Hong's phone vibrated.

After taking out his phone, he found that it was a message from Shu Yuqing.

"What messages can Shu Yuqing send me?"

Mo Hong raised an eyebrow and opened the message bar.

"Mo Hong, thank you for helping me in the ruins. You can ask me for help if you need it in the future."

The next moment, Shu Yuqing sent a transfer of 50,000 Federal Credits.

"Mo Hong, you've helped me twice, and I don't know how to repay you. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Hong couldn't help but picture a shy, short-haired girl in his mind.

Shaking his head to suppress these thoughts, Mo Hong replied directly, "It's nothing, they're just classmates. I usually help whenever I can."

"I understand your intentions, but I will not accept this money. If you really want to express your gratitude, then work hard to cultivate and become stronger, and try to kill more demonic beasts in the future. That will also help to vent my anger."

After a long pause, Shu Yuqing finally replied, "I understand."

Upon seeing this, Mo Hong immediately put his phone down.

Afterwards, Mo Hong seized the time to start cultivating again.

, ...

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

Li Xingguo quickly summoned Mo Hong and Shu Yuqing.

"Let's not delay, let's go back now."

Li Xingguo was the first to board the armored vehicle returning to Qixing City, followed closely by Mo Hong and the other two.

Soon, the car set off.

During the journey, Li Xingguo turned to the two of them and said solemnly, "I believe you two should understand the difficulty of the semester's tasks. Some of the difficulties are simply uncontrollable, just like the high difficulty you faced this time, which resulted in the sacrifice of a teammate."

Upon hearing this, Mo Hong and the other man had very complicated expressions, and the image of Gu Feng involuntarily appeared in their minds.

He was a living, breathing human being before he embarked on his mission, in the prime of his youth, but he tragically died halfway through his journey in the ruins.

"It's a pity about Gu Feng. He was originally a genius who had mastered a killing move. If he had grown up normally, he would definitely have become a remarkable martial artist. I never expected such an accident to happen."

Li Xingguo remarked with emotion.

"Mo Hong, Shu Yuqing, given the difficulty of this mission, I have given you both full marks for your semester missions. However, do not be too proud or complacent. Do not slack off after returning to school. Be sure to focus on your cultivation."

The two nodded emphatically.

It only takes half a day to drive from Yinchuan to Qixing, and the three of them soon returned to Xuanwu University.

After returning to the dormitory building, Mo Hong first bought two martial arts nutrition meals from the vending machine before going back to his room.

"Finally home."

Sitting in his familiar room, Mo Hong felt a sense of relief.
