Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Pair of Double Pupils

Chapter 105 Desperate Mission

"As for this, it is a divine elixir of inheritance born from a special life form that combines plants and flesh."

"It is very precious and special, and can be used for bathing the body or for consumption by one's own pets."

"The former can be used to bathe the body to strengthen oneself and is extremely effective when used during cultivation; the latter can be given to pets to enhance their strength, improve some peculiar cosmic diseases in the pets' bodies, and make up for some deficient racial characteristics. It is also an extremely precious item in the universe."

"But compared to other things around it, although it is precious, it can only be ranked in the lower middle class."

Babata flew to one side.

After speaking, they also selected cards of items they considered good.

Fang Yi paid no attention to them, instead carefully examining the beast bones and the divine liquid, pondering which one to choose.

"Fang Yi, the ones I picked out for you are much better than this thing. Take a look."

"This one, this one, and that one—and this one, this one, and this one—these things are definitely top-tier among these 40 treasures!"

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Babata excitedly arranged the pictures in front of him, then looked at Fang Yi, who was deep in thought.

Fang Yi then pocketed the divine liquid.

This action left Babata completely dumbfounded.

"These two items will be useful to me, so I'll choose these two." After Fang Yi put the cards into his pocket, the surrounding sea area immediately changed, and a large number of sea columns rose into the sky.

The splashing raindrops fell all around.

A hidden passageway door appeared.

Before Babata could react, Fang Yi grabbed it and headed towards the door.

Babata, who was being dragged in mid-air, looked at the door with great curiosity, because he saw the figures of other treasures in the distance, as well as some familiar objects.

"Fang Yi, you can still choose?!"

"I don't know, I'll find out what's waiting for me once I go inside."

Two figures immediately stepped into the room.

The passageway behind them suddenly closed and disappeared into the sea, leaving the surface calm once more.

Within the space.

Numerous transmission pipelines have spread throughout the surrounding area.

Center.

Three circular storage units stood there, and through the giant glass dome, three figures could be seen inside.

It hunches slightly like a fetus, suspended inside.

Babata's eyes widened in surprise at the sight.

"This is the intelligent life support room—"

"Intelligent life support room? The second room is actually here."

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes, examining the glass dome before him. The three intelligent lifeforms inside had different appearances, but...

They basically all meet the standards of humans on Earth.

Just got close.

A pop-up window immediately appeared before my eyes, and its content was none other than the second task left by Shubi.

"You will have to choose one of these three intelligent beings. This intelligent being will also give you tasks. You will have to complete all of these tasks to pass."

"Each intelligent life gives you a different task, and you can choose according to your own situation. The secret world you are going to for this cultivation task is extremely difficult, at the level of the deadly."

"Do your research thoroughly before making a decision."

"Once it starts, there's no going back."

"You must go before you break through to the Domain Lord level. Once you reach the Domain Lord level, this mission will be void."

Fang Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the numbers on the screen in front of him.

Below, detailed information about that secret realm is already displayed.

There are 5 difficulty levels.

Safe (mortality rate 0%), Normal (mortality rate 10%), Difficult (mortality rate 20%), Dangerous (mortality rate 50%), Desperate (mortality rate 90%).

"I'm only at the cosmic level, and they actually assigned me this kind of mission—" Fang Yi frowned slightly.

It's absurd that someone at the cosmic level would be asked to perform tasks that are basically only possible for domain lords.

Babata flew quickly to the side and naturally saw the text there.

"What is this? Is it a task assigned to you by the arena, or by your so-called master or powerful figure behind you? Wow, it's so difficult! Did you offend someone to get this kind of task assigned to you?"

Babata was completely dumbfounded.

When he saw that the mortality rate of that perilous mission was 90%, his face was filled with disbelief.

The Giant Axe Arena is too good at cultivating geniuses!

Dangerous, this is extreme!

Fang Yi, however, had an indifferent expression.

It's challenging, which is in line with Hugh Bi's usual style, although the increase in difficulty is indeed a bit too much.

"Let's choose first."

I didn't dwell on the topic, since difficulties are common on the path of cultivation.

Looking down, a panel notification appeared below the three sleeping intelligent beings.

"Survival Mission"

Combat Mission

"Collection Mission"

Three distinct mission formats, along with some comprehensible information, are displayed above.

Fang Yi glanced at the mission and was about to make a choice when Babata reminded him, "Fang Yi, this mission is too scary. Maybe we shouldn't do it—you're only at the cosmic level now, and this kind of mission is too difficult for you."

"I understand your concerns, but once this mission begins, it cannot be abandoned, and it cannot be carried out by a Domain Lord level official."

Fang Yi knew that most people would choose to attempt this kind of cultivation task only after reaching the Domain Lord level.

But now, his task has become subject to level restrictions.

Such a requirement would be enough to break many geniuses, after all, this task seems to be repeated many times, but in fact it can be summed up in two words - suicide!

"As expected of the Giant Axe Arena, this is in line with its style."

Fang Yi sighed.

Seeing Fang Yi's calm demeanor only made Babata more anxious, but he also knew that he couldn't change Fang Yi's decision.

After a moment of hesitation, he immediately said, "If I had to choose, the most suitable option would naturally be the third collection mission, or I would choose the survival mission if possible. In any case, it would be best not to choose the second one."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Fang Yi had already clicked on the second task, successfully accepted it, and opened the window in front of him.

The gender of this intelligent life form was determined immediately.

Naturally, he is more feminine in appearance, since it's impossible for him to be wandering around with a male intelligent life form.

Such a scene.

Babata was so startled that he screamed "Ah!" like a stressed kitten.

"You actually chose it!"

"It's alright. Challenges bring opportunities, and I'm prepared, so you don't need to worry too much."

Babata looked at Fang Yi, whose confident and calm demeanor made him anxious, but he had no choice but to believe him.

"I really don't understand what you've been through in the arena to have such crazy ideas. It feels like you've completely integrated into the atmosphere of the arena."

"Maybe."

Fang Yi remained noncommittal.

Seeing these more challenging combat missions now, Fang Yi's first thought was to give them a try, and only then did he carefully consider the pros and cons.

As a large amount of preserved liquefaction was sprayed out as jets.

The special intelligent life form inside the space slowly opened its eyes, its armor lines glowing with a pink halo, and its bright eyes like star gems.

Filled with confusion and curiosity.

In front of them, there was also a diamond-like intelligent life star.

Babata looked at the other party warily.

"The arena is quite well prepared. This is an extremely pure intelligent life crystal. These life crystals are in their initial state, like a newborn baby that needs to be transferred into this body."

"There are many ways for intelligent life to be born, but few are created directly by the innate pure heart of intelligent life. The Giant Axe Arena is indeed unfathomable."

"They want to send you a new intelligent life form. Having an intelligent life form to assist you in the universe is indeed very convenient—so didn't you tell them that you already have me, an intelligent life form?"

Babata stands with his hands on his hips.

Fang Yi simply shrugged after hearing this.

"This is an AI-powered mission assignment. Do you expect me to handle it with the arena staff and relay the message?"

"Moreover, strictly speaking, you are Huyanbo's intelligent life form. When I'm venturing into the universe, I do need an assistant, which is quite good."

That's all I have to say.

Fang Yi placed the intelligent life heart placed in front of him into the other party's body.

Activated within the virtual universe.

Then.

The tall, intelligent life form before them suddenly transformed into a white robe, slung across its shoulders.

"Owner."

"Um."

Fang Yi looked at the other person and nodded slightly.

It's also possible to change the appearance of intelligent life forms, but that's a matter for later.

Babata squinted. Although what Fang Yi said was true, basically every intelligent life form that got close to them would make Babata unhappy.

"Master, please give me a name."

"name----"

Upon hearing this, Fang Yi frowned slightly and gently rested his chin on his hand.

Babata, always eager for a good show, said with a hint of displeasure, "Just name it Little Pinky."

"What's your name?"

Fang Yi looked at Babata with a sense of helplessness.

He then ignored its words, pondered for a while, and decided on the name.

Looking at the intelligent life form before him, its hands clasped together in front of it, its eyes expectantly awaiting his name, Fang Yi said, "Then I'll call you Perfect."

Fang Yi took his name from the Perfect World.

You can't just give such a cute intelligent life form a name like "Covering the Sky" or "Holy Ruins," can you?

Fang Yi initially wanted to call him Werewolf, since the pinker the hair, the more ruthless he was at killing people. However, the name had too much karmic repercussions, and he didn't know if the intelligent life form could bear it.

The word "perfect" sounds pleasant, so we chose this name.

After receiving the name, Perfect nodded slowly and responded softly.

"Yes, Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out to receive the email message sent by the Giant Axe Martial Arts Arena.

"Master, I have received the details of the mission issued to you by the Giant Axe Arena. Would you like to inform me now?"

Tell me about it.

"clear."

A perfect, large hand gesture, displaying a wealth of text and images.

Fang Yi glanced at the information and roughly understood its meaning, while Babata pouted and immediately scanned the information board in front of him.

Then, his somewhat angry face suddenly froze, and immediately turned into anger and disbelief!

"Why does the Giant Axe Arena assign this kind of task?"

"Leaving aside the 90% mortality rate, this kill mission is just too difficult! You're only at the Universe level, yet you're asking to kill a Domain Lord level expert? Are they insane?"

The information at hand.

The kill mission guide has different types of requirements.

The minimum is the ninth level of the Universe Realm, and the maximum is the ninth level of the Domain Lord Realm. The minimum number is three, but it is not required to kill them all. You can choose to kill them, but you must kill at least three Domain Lord level experts.

Furthermore, the equipment worn by these domain lords was also quite impressive.

Besides.

Fang Yi will also be under the new identity of a defector.

He will be hunted down by all the elite students in the Giant Axe Arena, the Special Elite Training Camp, and the Space Training Camp.

Such a demand is absolutely insane!

"Master, the tasks in the arena are indeed difficult. Therefore, I suggest you cultivate to the ninth rank before taking action. With your current strength, the success rate of defeating a first-rank domain lord is 89.9%."

"What a joke! The gap between the cosmic level and the domain lord level is not small. The success rate can't possibly be that high."

Perfect looked at Babata and displayed a series of data.

Fang Yi didn't say anything after seeing it. The information that Perfectly possessed was obviously Hao's specific information, including his equipment and combat intelligence.

Babata doesn't know much about Fang Yi's current performance, so his assessment will naturally differ from that of Perfect.

Babata's face was filled with disbelief after he finished reading the information.

"Easily killing a ninth-tier universe expert with a single move, possessing near-world lord-level comprehension of laws, and mastering the Divine Weapon to the third level—Fang Yi, you've already reached this level?"

"fine."

Perfect frowned slightly upon hearing Babata call Fang Yi by that name, as she was unaware of this name in her master's information.

"Master, shall I use your name, Fang Yi, from now on?"

"Fang Yi, you were indeed using a different name and identity in the arena. No wonder I couldn't find you no matter how I investigated."

Both Perfection and Babata raised questions at the same time.

Seeing this, Fang Yi simply coughed lightly. "I use a different identity in the arena, so it's normal that you're unaware of my recent situation."

"Just have Perfect Transmission send you the specific details; I'm too lazy to go into more detail."

Babata crossed his arms over his chest, looking helpless but resigned.

Perfect then transmitted the data from Fang Yi's arena to him.

Data transmission within the virtual universe is incredibly fast.

Babata closed his eyes slightly to receive the information, saying as he did so, "Alright, I guessed it a long time ago, after all, I've been keeping an eye on what's happening at the arena—Holy crap, you're actually Hao!!!"

The last sound was extremely loud.

The shock caused Fang Yi to instinctively step back; he hadn't expected the other party to be so agitated.

"You don't need to get so worked up."

"How could I not be excited! I keep an eye on the arena, so I know about this terrifying newcomer. You really are him!"

"Have you guessed that?"

"I had my suspicions, but you disguised yourself so well that apart from a few minor similarities, I couldn't tell it was the same person at all." Babata opened his eyes, his expression filled with disbelief.

Once the information transmission is complete.

Fang Yi and his group had already left this space.

The message had already reached the outside of the control building, where the female liaison officer had been waiting.

She bowed and called out when she saw Fang Yi come out.

"Mr. Hao, Lord Hughie is in the nearby lounge and cordially invites you to come over."
