Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

After sending the message, Mo Hong put his phone aside.

"Now that I have obtained an SS-level contract, I should have no shortage of cultivation resources at the Xuan-level."

Thinking about the series of benefits of this contract, which are several times greater than the previous A-level treaty, Mo Hong's heart raced as he recalled it.

"Luckily, I made a mistake yesterday, which prevented those people from noticing anything amiss."

In the final move that defeated Wang Mu, Mo Hong only incorporated a trace of the power of heaven and earth, leading everyone to mistakenly believe that Mo Hong had only grasped the superficial aspects of the essence.

Mo Hong then stopped thinking about these things and began to plan his future cultivation.

"Since I don't lack resources now, I should upgrade my physical level as soon as possible."

So, Mo Hong logged into the Star Soul Network again and purchased cultivation supplies worth more than two million, enough for him to use for half a year.

Mo Hong immediately stopped hesitating and immersed himself in cultivation.

After about four hours, Mo Hong finally stopped and jumped up from the ground.

Feeling a slight swelling and pain in his body, Mo Hong knew that he had reached the saturation point for today's absorption.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated.

Mo Hong opened the package and found that it was from Mo Shan asking him to come over.

"What does Professor Mo want with me this time?"

Mo Hong raised an eyebrow slightly.

Mo Hong then went straight to Mo Shan's residence.

Upon arriving at their destination, Mo Shan led Mo Hong to a private room.

The two sat facing each other.

Mo Hong remained calm, waiting for Mo Shan to speak.

Seeing that Mo Hong remained silent, Mo Shan asked, "Mo Hong, don't you have anything to say?"

Mo Hong smiled wryly, "Professor Mo, I'm curious what you want to see me about?"

"Mo Hong, I already know about your achievements in the Genius Ranking Battle. I thought your progress was already fast enough, but you still exceed my expectations."

Mo Shan stared at Mo Hong, shook his head and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Mo Hong immediately understood.

“Mo Hong, now that you have grasped even a smattering of the essence of the art, the previous cultivation method is no longer suitable for you.”

At this point, Mo Shan took out a white document from beside him and handed it to Mo Hong.

"This is a revised plan for you, take a look."

Mo Hong opened it and saw that the various cultivation steps were clearly listed inside. The more he read, the more amazed he became.

"After all, Instructor Mo is my senior on the path of martial arts, and many of his plans are indeed very well done."

Mo Hong couldn't help but secretly admire him.

"This plan is just some suggestions for you. In reality, you still need to adjust it according to your own situation."

At this point, Mo Shan suddenly changed the subject, asking, "Mo Hong, do you know the requirements for breaking through to the King rank?"

Mo Hong shook his head.

"One of the hard requirements for breaking through to the King rank is to comprehend the intent. In the past, many gifted students made rapid progress in the Profound rank, but they just couldn't comprehend the intent, and even got stuck at the peak of the Profound rank for many years, wasting a lot of time."

"Comprehending the essence of a concept depends on both talent and luck. Mo Hong, you possess both talents and have already gained some insights in your freshman year. Therefore, you must cherish this opportunity and fully comprehend the essence of a concept as soon as possible, understand?"

Mo Hong nodded and immediately said, "Understood!"

"However, there is another reason why I called you here today. The All-Alliance Hundred Schools Competition will be held again next April, and all students below grade 15 can register."

Mo Hong instantly regained his senses and began to wait for Mo Shan to continue.

"The four prestigious schools, Hengyang, Qingyan, Baihu, and Xuanwu, each have ten fixed spots for the competition. The other schools have to compete for those spots. So the preliminary selection will be held next February, and we can directly participate in the main competition in April."

"The 100-school competition is divided into a senior student area and a freshman area. Freshmen refer to first-year students, while senior students include sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Xuanwu University has decided to allocate seven spots to senior students and three spots to freshmen."

Mo Shan said slowly.

"Professor Mo, so I'm going to the freshman area?"

Mo Hong inquired.

"No, our instructors at the Xuanzi Dojo still want to see where your limits are, so we've decided to place you in the senior student area."

Mo Shan smiled.

"What? Instructor Mo, don't tease me. With my skills, going to the senior student area would be like asking for trouble, wouldn't it?"

Mo Hong gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"It's okay. We didn't expect you to get good results for the school this time. The senior students will help you out. You just need to do your best."

Hearing Mo Shan's words, Mo Hongcai was able to accept it somewhat.

Mo Hong was afraid that he would lose the first game and thus waste the school's spot.

"There are still six months until this competition. You should use this time to improve your physical fitness as soon as possible. This is your main weakness. After all, you were able to defeat Wang Mu when you were at the same physical level, which is enough to prove your martial arts skills."

Mo Hong nodded emphatically; this was also his current thought.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Mo Shan asked.

Mo Hong immediately said no.

"Okay, then you can go back first."

Mo Hong then left immediately.

, ...

Back in his dormitory, Mo Hong first bought several martial arts nutrition meals. After eating and drinking his fill, he began to calm down.

With a thought, Mo Hong opened the data panel.

Host: Mo Hong

Realm: Profound Rank 11 (35%)

Cultivation Method: Basic Cultivation Method (Minor Success) +

Martial Arts Skills: Artistic Conception (First Level, Beginner) +

Secret Technique: Barrier-Breaking Knife Technique (Beginner 95/500) +

Perception Element (Elemental Soul): Blade Soul (Mid-grade Yellow Rank) +

Devouring points: 456

Blood essence absorption progress: 457/5000

, ...

"I didn't expect the rate at which the Devouring Points are increasing to be so fast."

Mo Hong exclaimed in delight.

After he broke through to the Profound Rank, he used hundreds of thousands of cultivation resources. Mo Hong estimated that the higher the level of resources he used, the more Devouring Points he would gain.

"Elevate the level of artistic conception!"

[Consumed 400 Devouring Points, Intent Level upgraded to Mid-Level 1]

At the same time, Mo Hong's understanding of the power of heaven and earth deepened further, as if the results of his more than ten years of in-depth research made him suddenly realize many things.

Mo Hong closed his eyes and quietly digested these results.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Hong slowly stood up from the ground, a smile appearing on his lips.

At this moment, he has truly stepped into the mid-stage of the first level of the Intent Realm!

"Everyone thinks I'm just beginning to grasp the essence of things, but they don't know that I'm already going deeper and deeper."

Mo Hong knew very well that even those who had broken through to the King rank long ago might not have a deeper understanding of the artistic conception than Mo Hong.

"This is the wonderful use of the purple mist! It made me a peerless genius with exceptional comprehension!"

After a silent sigh, Mo Hong resumed his cultivation.
