Devouring all things: I possess the energy of chaos.

Mo Hong soon returned to Starshine City.

After being inspected by the city guards, Mo Hong returned to his dormitory at the base.

Sitting cross-legged on the edge of the bed, Mo Hong's mind was filled with thoughts.

"Finally, I can really improve myself."

Thinking of this, Mo Hong was overjoyed.

Therefore, Mo Hong immediately stopped hesitating.

With a thought, Mo Hong opened the data panel.

, ...

"Improve the quality of your Yuan Soul!"

The next moment, Mo Hong consumed two hundred Devouring Points.

At the same time, a huge sword shadow spirit appeared behind Mo Hong, pitch black, and its aura was clearly increased by one level.

[Elemental Soul quality upgraded to High-grade Yellow Rank]

"Is this a high-grade Yellow Rank Yuan Soul?"

Mo Hong was overjoyed, feeling the amplification power of his primordial soul increase once again.

"Then let's further improve our martial arts skills."

With that in mind, Mo Hong decided to raise his level again.

In an instant, Mo Hong consumed five hundred Devouring Points.

At the same time, the artistic conception has also been elevated to a first-class level!

A flood of insights into the application of the power of heaven and earth surged into Mo Hong's mind, giving him a sudden and profound awakening.

Mo Hong slightly opened his right hand, and a white vortex appeared, emanating a chilling aura.

"Now that my artistic conception has reached the first level of perfection, the power of heaven and earth stored in my body has increased significantly."

Feeling his strength increase, Mo Hong felt a sense of joy.

Unfortunately, Mo Hong had already consumed 700 Devouring Points, and the remaining Devouring Points were not enough to upgrade the secret technique.

"Never mind, I'll figure out a solution later."

For Mo Hong now, he is not in a hurry to learn the second move of the Barrier-Breaking Saber Technique.

After all, the second move was too taxing for him, and he wasn't in a position to act rashly.

So far, he has already improved his artistic conception level and the quality of his primordial soul.

He didn't want to think about the rest anymore.

Afterwards, Mo Hong went to the second floor of the base, wanting to properly master the use of artistic conception in the training room.

About three hours later, Mo Hong returned to his dormitory.

Just then, Mo Hong's bracelet vibrated.

"Everyone in Squad Seven, urgent notice: we have another mandatory mission to carry out today. Just assemble at the original location."

This is a message from Yan Ming.

At this point, Mo Hong immediately stopped hesitating and headed straight there.

Soon, when Mo Hong arrived, Lin Yi, the only girl in the group, and Jiang Nian also arrived.

Jiang Nian gave Mo Hong a cold look, then started chatting and laughing with Lin Yi.

Mo Hong remained expressionless, pretending not to see it.

Soon, everyone had arrived.

Yan Ming glanced at everyone and said seriously, "Gentlemen, the military has urgently issued a mission to expand our exploration range to thirty kilometers to check for any traps set by the demon race."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gao Fan complained, "Thirty kilometers? We've only checked a ten-kilometer area so far. Now they've expanded it to twenty kilometers. The danger is going to increase dramatically."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

Because Gao Fan was right, the larger the area, the closer it is to the outer perimeter of the demon race, and the more dangerous it will be.

"Gao Fan, this is a general order from the military. You can choose not to go, but how the military deals with you afterwards is your own problem."

Yan Ming said coldly.

Gao Fan's complaints at this moment were a challenge to his authority, and he had to let him know who was the leader of the team.

"Yes, Captain!"

Sensing Yan Ming's aura of being a level 15 cultivator, Gao Fan couldn't help but lower his head.

"There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately."

After saying that, Yan Ming was the first to board the armored vehicle.

The rest followed closely behind.

Soon, the entire Seventh Squad left the city.

After getting off the armored vehicle, Yan Ming instructed, "This time we're going to explore the northwest. Be careful, we won't be splitting up this time."

Everyone nodded in agreement, mainly because the exploration area was too vast.

This time, they should prioritize stability. As the saying goes, many hands make light work, and a larger group is better able to handle the upcoming crisis.

So, led by Yan Ming, everyone chose a direction and headed straight there.

Mo Hong stood in the center of the group and used his mental perception to check everyone's status.

Suddenly, Mo Hong noticed that Gao Fan and Jiang Nian were standing together behind him.

The two seemed to be whispering something, and Gao Fan kept glancing at Mo Hong.

Upon noticing this, Mo Hong's face instantly darkened.

"Damn it, are these two still trying to harm me at a time like this?"

In an instant, Mo Hong felt a surge of anger, an indescribable rage welling up inside him.

Even though he hadn't really offended Jiang Nian, he still conspired with Gao Fan to harm him.

"I hope you two don't look for death!"

A cold glint flashed deep in Mo Hong's eyes as he thought to himself.

Under Yan Ming's leadership, Team Seven initially advanced quickly within a 10-kilometer radius, but after that, Yan Ming's speed inevitably slowed down.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

Lin Yi, the only girl in the group, asked.

"Now that we've broken through the search and patrol area, it's best to be careful and not advance too quickly."

Yan Ming explained.

Hearing this, everyone agreed, since no one wants to joke about their own life.

"I went in that direction the day before yesterday. I remember there shouldn't be any major problems. I hope there won't be any problems today."

Mo Hong thought to himself as he moved forward.

However, Mo Hong couldn't be sure, since he had killed some demonic beasts the day before yesterday, which might soon arouse the vigilance of the demon race.

"If things really don't go well, I'll have to get out of there beforehand."

This thought came to Mo Hong's mind.

Unfortunately, Mo Hong wasn't very familiar with the people in the Seventh Reconnaissance Squad, and basically no one wanted to befriend him.

Therefore, Mo Hong naturally didn't care whether they lived or died.

It's not that Mo Hong is heartless and cold-blooded, but that's just how the world is; you have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.

Mo Hong can't even take care of himself now.

Of course, they wouldn't care about the lives or deaths of others.

"Captain, we've almost reached twenty kilometers."

Suddenly, Gao Fan whispered a reminder.

"I know."

Yan Ming replied casually and slowed his pace again.

"Let's do a quick search of everything along the way. If we encounter any monsters that we can't defeat, we'll call for help immediately."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then began to explore their surroundings.
