High-level martial arts: Contract cashback, invincible starting from the Zerg.

A pure interstellar-class devourer, possessing unparalleled and ferocious power, with no upper limit to its growth.

Most of the apocalyptic events in Chen Feng's memory were tragedies caused by interstellar-level devouring entities.

Although Chen Feng's awakened Dark Emperor Devouring Body talent only reached 30% of the purity of the interstellar-level Devouring Body, its power and talent ceiling were far inferior to the pure Devouring Body.

However, even this maximum of 30% bloodline purity is already the limit that human demon slayers can withstand.

If it were any other race, simply forcibly fusing their energy would either result in their bodies being devoured and burst by the energy, or their consciousness being directly swallowed up, making it impossible to control that power.

As Chen Feng slowly raised his hand.

A faint black halo appeared in his palm.

As it slowly flowed, Chen Feng could vaguely sense the surrounding spatial energy being gently drawn in.

This is the power of the Controllable Devouring Body. Even though Chen Feng's bloodline purity is only 5%, it is enough to mobilize the spatial energy that only a peak Heaven-rank expert can mobilize.

A smile gradually appeared on Chen Feng's lips.

He looked up at the Martial God Ladder Ranking above, his eyes flashing with determination.

Although the experts in the Martial God Palace almost reached the pinnacle of martial power in the Great Xia Kingdom, compared to those terrifying forces that could easily destroy planes, it is almost certain that their potential ceiling is incomparable.

Surpassing them is only a matter of time.

......

At this moment, in the instructor's office of the Martial God Academy.

The tutor is watering his potted plant.

His short, thick fingers held a small watering can, and his clumsy watering movements were extremely gentle, with water flowing down the spout in a thin, continuous stream, gently covering the green leaves and soil.

At this moment, the peak Desolate Rank martial artist looked relaxed yet focused, his domineering sharpness gone, replaced by a gentle ease.

The extreme contrast is overwhelming.

He was clearly a top-tier expert who could turn the tide with a wave of his hand, but at this moment he was like a meticulous and gentle ordinary person, patiently caring for the small green plant.

With a "bang".

The office door opened, and the appearance of two men dressed in professor's robes broke the tranquility of the professor's office.

The two, still brimming with excitement, started talking loudly as soon as they entered the room, completely oblivious to the money they had saved for tending the flowers and plants by the window.

"Did you see the military report this morning? The Great Xia has transferred the Third Army Corps, which was guarding Qianyuan Upper City, here. It's an entire elite army corps! Even Qin Yuan, who is known as 'Breaking the Mountain,' is personally in charge! I think that this time, Qianyuan Upper City is definitely planning to take back Daye Upper City."

His companion simply lay down on the chair and lazily shook his head.

"Not so. The Upper City of Daye is tightly controlled by the Cult of Mechanics, the Darkborn, and the Demons. These three forces may not be a match for the elite legion of the Great Xia Dynasty under normal circumstances, but now that they are united in guarding the Upper City of Daye, Qin Yuan's Third Legion is probably not enough."

"Then what do you think is the purpose of the Great Xia sending the Third Legion here? It can't just be for sightseeing! Besides, I've also heard that twenty Great Xia sorcerers from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion are already on their way to Daye. If it's just for intimidation, there's absolutely no need to mobilize those important figures!"

The two lively and energetic instructors chatted back and forth, talking about everything from the war machines of the Mechanicus to the assassins of the Darkin Order, and from the corrupting power of demons to the history of Upper Great Xia. They argued heatedly, their faces red and their spittle flying.

"Alright, everyone, calm down a bit," Yu Qian commented lazily.

A calm voice suddenly rang out, neither too loud nor too soft, yet it was like an invisible ruler, instantly cutting off the argument between the two.

Both mentors looked at Yu Qian at the same time, their eyes flashing with a sharp, intense light.

The legendary mentor walked to the tea table, picked up the purple clay teapot, and poured himself a cup of warm pre-Qingming Longjing tea. The tea leaves slowly unfurled in the cup, their steam illuminating his broad, round face.

"The Mechanic Order wants the Star Iron veins controlled by Great City, which are the core raw materials for manufacturing interstellar war weapons; the Darkin Order wants the life force of all living beings in the city; and the Demon Clan wants to use the power of the two to welcome the arrival of the Blood Beast. The three have different motives."

Professor Yu Qian slowly put down his teacup and rhythmically tapped the table with his fingertips.

"Neither the Mechanicus's Ironhide nor the Darkin's Shadow could withstand the Blood Beast Legion for long. The only reason they can still join forces now is because they believe the other still has value."

The two instructors were taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "Then... then did Great Xia send the Third Legion here to exert pressure?"

Yu Qian nodded, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable certainty.

"The reason for encircling without attacking is to prevent either side from achieving their goals, nor to give them the opportunity to break out together. If the Mechanicus wants to mine, they will have to send troops to guard the mines; the Darkin will have to guard against the demons stealing their offerings, so they will naturally not help the Mechanicus guard the city walls; not to mention the demons, they would love for the other two sides to fight the Great Xia to the death so they can reap the benefits."

Professor Zhang and Professor Liu looked at each other, their excitement and disdain vanished without a trace, leaving only shock and disbelief.

The battle situation they couldn't understand no matter how hard they racked their brains, and those seemingly simple strategic deployments, suddenly took on a profound meaning in Yu Qian's few words.

"Excellent insights from the mentor with spare money!!"

"As expected of the legendary Yu Qian."

Yu Qian simply smiled calmly and replied with a curt "You're welcome."

Just as things returned to calm in the supervisor's office, Yu Qian stretched his neck, preparing to deal with the work at hand.

Beep beep beep!!

Yu Qian's tutor received a new text message on his phone.

Yu Qian took out his phone and glanced at it casually. His thick eyebrows suddenly furrowed, as if he had seen something terrible. He quickly turned on his phone's screen saver to check.

[Channel 9 (Urgent report with red code)]

[Gu Yong, 17:20 Military Situation: The Daye enemy forces feigned an attack on the left flank of the legion. Qin Yuan led his troops to meet the attack, accompanied by two Desolate Rank martial artists. The enemy forces showed no intention of fighting to the death and have been forced to retreat.]

[At 20:06, the national fortune of Gu Yong changed: A special envoy from the Tianji Pavilion arrived in Gu Yong's upper city at Chenshi (7-9 AM) today. They did not inform Gu Yong's military headquarters or the local Tianji Pavilion. The accompanying sorcerer carried a "Tianzi Token," the purpose of which is unknown, but may be related to the word "devouring".]
