Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

"I never imagined my skill level had reached this level."

Seeing himself ranked sixty-third, Mo Hong couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

The Star Soul Martial Hall recruits geniuses in all four war zones, and Mo Hong has stood out among so many people, which is enough to demonstrate his strength.

Having achieved his goal of testing the knife, Mo Hong exited the virtual mode.

"The power of this Extreme Shockwave is indeed remarkable, but it also consumes a lot of energy."

After Mo Hong unleashed that strike, 20% of his vital energy was instantly depleted!

Mo Hong immediately realized that it was best to use such a costly and powerful move only in critical moments.

"Phew~, let's continue cultivating for a while longer before going to sleep."

Mo Hong immediately resumed his cross-legged posture and entered a meditative state.

Time flies.

Early November.

In a high-level training room, Mo Hong was honing his swordsmanship.

Over the past few days, not only has his physical fitness improved rapidly, but his practical application of swordsmanship has also become increasingly proficient.

Just the day before yesterday, he sparred with his sparring partner, Zhou Tong, again.

With both having the same physical abilities, Zhou Tong, a veteran who had long been at the Xuan rank, was defeated in just a few moves!

"Now, among those of the same level, my strength is considered extremely terrifying."

With a flash of his eyes, Mo Hong unleashed two bursts of sword energy, slicing the three metal puppets in front of him in half.

Suddenly, Mo Hong's phone vibrated.

"Ok?"

Mo Hong took out his phone and saw the contents, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"The demon race has launched another full-scale attack on the border of the Zhongfeng Alliance?"

Seeing that it was a notice on the school's official website, Mo Hong knew it was pretty much true.

When Mo Hong browsed the relevant news, he found that many major websites and news media had already started reporting on it an hour earlier.

"Around 7 a.m., tens of thousands of demonic beasts and birds appeared in Langya Mountain in the Northern Theater Command. The Alliance and its various forces have actively launched support!"

"Urgent report! An incident has occurred on the border of the Eastern Theater Command! Several demon general-level beasts secretly infiltrated Lanyun City last night. Lanyun City has now fallen, and the demon army is still pressing in!! Many king-level experts are leading their armies to provide support. Please pay close attention to our channel..."

"Good news! Just over twenty minutes ago, Lord Li Ming, a peak King-level expert from the Western Theater Command, ventured deep into the demon realm, killed two demon generals, and escaped. He has now returned safely!"

"Urgent Notice! The Alliance has activated Level 2 alert and begun mobilizing a large number of personnel. Currently, all factions within the Alliance are actively transporting supplies and combat personnel to the border. Please, all citizens of the Stroke Alliance, bless these heroes..."

"According to military statistics, the Allied death toll is conservatively estimated to be around two million, and the death toll will continue to rise as the war escalates..."

"..."

Seeing this dazzling array of news, Mo Hong's face grew increasingly gloomy.

"Demon race!!"

Mo Hong clenched his teeth and fists, his eyes gradually turning red.

Suddenly, the school issued another notice.

"Students, given the suddenness of this demon invasion, the alliance is still short of manpower in some areas. The alliance requires all schools to recruit students whose strength reaches the Xuan rank or above to serve as volunteers!"

"The Stroke Alliance is our home, and now it is time for us to fight to the death. As martial artists, you enjoy the resources provided by the Alliance, and you should also fulfill your duty to protect your home and country!"

"Now that war has come ahead of schedule, you should also shoulder the corresponding responsibilities of a warrior. If the border is breached, our families and friends behind us will be in danger. Whether it is the greater good or our own families, we need to take immediate action without hesitation!"

"..."

Mo Hong quickly glanced through it and then remained silent.

Mo Hong then signed his name during a school volunteer military activity.

"Mo Hong, a freshman at the Xuanzi Dojo, has a physical fitness level of 11."

It should be noted that, apart from him, almost none of the freshmen at Xuanwu University have broken through to the Xuan rank.

It can be said that Mo Hong has far surpassed his peers.

However, the new students were not forced to stay at school and were able to continue their studies and practice.

"Do you resent it? Do you regret it? Are you afraid of death?"

Mo Hong looked up at the ceiling and couldn't help but ask himself a couple of questions.

After a moment of silence.

"I don't regret it. I feel that this is a responsibility I have to bear. With great power comes great responsibility. So what if I really die? At worst, I can take a few more monsters down with me before I die!"

"If I had to say what I hate, I would only hate that I'm not strong enough to kill more monsters."

At that moment, the image of the demonic beasts slaughtering Yan Yang City flashed through his mind once again.

Whether it was a sense of national pride or his own hatred for the demon race, Mo Hong couldn't think of a reason to back down.

Mo Hong's eyes hardened, and his resolve gradually hardened.

Afterwards, Mo Hong went straight to the meeting place of the Xuanzi Dojo.

Inside a spacious hall.

When Mo Hong stepped inside, there was a large crowd of several hundred people, both men and women, all of whom were young and all possessed strength above the Xuan rank.

Mo Hong knew that these were his senior classmates from the Xuanzi Dojo.

"Hmm? Junior, you look quite young. What year are you in?"

Suddenly, a mature-looking, burly man stopped in front of Mo Hong and said in surprise.

"Senior, I'm a freshman."

Mo Hong replied.

"Oh, you're a freshman? Oh, how could that be?"

The man nodded subconsciously, then suddenly realized that Mo Hong was from the freshman year and exclaimed in horror.

At the same time, some people around also heard Mo Hong's words and were all surprised and puzzled.

"It's only the first semester of freshman year, right? Are all the top freshmen this capable now? Junior, what's your name?"

The man felt a wave of embarrassment and continued to ask questions.

"My name is Mo Hong."

Upon hearing this, Mo Hong immediately replied.

The next moment, several voices immediately emerged from the crowd.

"This name sounds familiar."

Some people couldn't help but wonder.

"Everyone, I just checked the freshman rankings on the official website. Our junior Mo Hong is currently ranked number one among the freshmen, and it seems he's also the only one among the freshmen to break through to the Xuan rank."

Suddenly, someone spoke up to explain.

"I didn't expect that this year's top freshman would be from our Xuanzi Dojo. The younger generation is truly formidable."

"No, your focus is wrong. This junior Mo Hong broke through to the Xuan rank in the first semester of his freshman year. I remember that the top freshman in those years all broke through in the second semester."

"Wait a minute, everyone. Go look at the application form signed by Xuanwu University. Mo Hong filled in the information for the Class of 11!"
