Highway Survival for All: My RV's Infinite Evolution

Huo Lie was extremely excited to see Lin Hui after so long, and he wished he could rush up and give him a bear hug.

However, when Huo Lie caught a glimpse of the Moon City soldiers standing ramrod straight around him, their eyes filled with awe, he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

"No, God Hui instructed me that I'm now a big shot in the empire, so my image must be top-notch!"

Thinking of this, Huo Lie slightly raised his chin, easily suppressing the urge to smile, and greeted Lin Hui and the others who had just stepped off the gangway.

"You must be tired from your journey. Please come to the council chamber for a chat."

Seeing Huo Lie's expression, Lin Hui nodded in satisfaction, and then followed behind Huo Lie towards the council hall.

However, seeing Huo Lie's feigned profundity, Zhen Haoyun couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter, clutching his stomach: "Hahaha... I can't take it anymore, oh my god..."

The Star Shield soldiers around him looked at each other, completely baffled as to what Zhen Haoyun was laughing about.

Huo Lie's eyes twitched twice, but he maintained his composure and asked, "Brother Hao Yun, what does this mean? What's so funny about what our commander said?"

Zhen Haoyun quickly covered his mouth with both hands:

"I'm so sorry, Commander Huo! I just... I just suddenly remembered some happy things!"

Huo Lie nodded slightly, then turned and continued to lead the way.

Before long, they arrived at the council chamber.

......

Inside the council chamber.

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Seeing that there were no outsiders present, Zhen Haoyun completely let loose and burst into laughter again.

He pointed at Huo Lie, laughing so hard he could barely breathe:

"Brother Huo, it's amazing you could keep up the act! Just now outside, if I didn't know your true nature so well, I would have been fooled by your eyes and your gait!"

Zhen Haoyun walked over and patted Huo Lie on the shoulder, teasingly saying, "You can add another title to your collection; let's call you 'God of Maintaining Tension'!"

Huo Lie chuckled, "You know what! When it comes to keeping a straight face, even the God of Radiance might not be able to beat me! Every day when I go out to inspect, hundreds of thousands of eyes are watching me. If I don't keep a straight face, I simply can't hide it!"

As they spoke, Huo Lie took out some tea leaves and poured Lin Hui a cup of hot tea. "Hui Shen, why did you suddenly come to Moon City?"

Lin Hui picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and asked, "Huo Lie, what is your current rank?"

Huo Lie's expression turned serious, and he didn't hide anything. "Late stage of Tier 5! The War Commander gave me a Tier 6 Spirit Technique Specialization upgrade blueprint, but my Tier 5 proficiency is only 85%, so it will take some time before I can advance to Tier 6."

Lin Hui nodded in satisfaction: "Late stage 5... It seems the Empire's efforts to build momentum for you during this period have been quite effective."

Just then, the God Emperor avatar standing beside Lin Hui, clad in deep blue power armor, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Brother Huo Lie, what exactly is your specialty? I can't even see through your rank!"

Even as an avatar of a God Emperor, he was still a peak ninth-tier being, possessing a clear perception of players' souls and ranks. It was extremely strange that he couldn't discern the true nature of a fifth-tier player!

Huo Lie smiled and explained, "My specialization is called 'The Power of His Thoughts,' and it comes with a passive ability: others cannot see my true level of cultivation!"

"His power of thought?" The Divine Emperor's avatar was slightly taken aback. Could there really be such a special skill in this world?

Huo Lie glanced at the God Emperor's avatar a few times, then turned to Lin Hui and asked, "God Hui, who is this?"

Lin Hui put down his teacup and said slowly, "This senior's identity is of great importance and cannot be revealed for the time being. You will naturally find out when the time is right."

It wasn't that Lin Hui was deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

The God Emperor's incarnation is one of his most important backup plans; only by working with Zhen Haoyun can it interfere with the Evil God's perception. If too many people find out, the Evil God might notice!

Currently, only Lin Hui and Zhen Haoyun know the identity of the God Emperor's incarnation.

Huo Lie had absolute trust in Lin Hui, and upon hearing this, he immediately shut his mouth and didn't ask any more questions.

Lan Wei, who had been sitting quietly to the side, lingered her beautiful eyes on the incarnation of the God Emperor for a moment.

As a peak eighth-tier life-type psionicist, she was extremely sensitive to fluctuations in life force. Although she couldn't see through the person inside the deep blue power armor, her intuition told her that the person before her was very strong!

After the casual conversation ended, Lin Hui looked at Huo Lie and said in a serious tone:

"The situation on Torres is extremely dire; we don't have much time left. You must become the Orc King as soon as possible and take control of the Orc tribe!"

Huo Lie's expression hardened upon hearing this.

The fact that Hui Shen could show such a serious expression means that the situation has become more serious than he imagined.

But...become the Orc King? Control the Orc tribe?

Huo Lie rubbed his cheeks and sighed:

"If I were to appear on the battlefield, my highest combat strength would only be at the peak of the 8th rank, which would be no match for Gugor."

"Furthermore, even if I did reach the peak of Rank 9, due to the limitations of my rank, I could only unleash a single punch with the power of a peak Rank 9 fighter! After that, I'd be exhausted!"

Listening to Huo Lie's complaints, Lin Hui smiled and said, "That's why I came."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately turned to Lin Hui.

Lan Wei's eyes sparkled with a strange light.

The Divine Emperor's avatar, hidden beneath the power armor, was even more taken aback.

He simply couldn't understand what Lin Hui was going to do.

In his view, it was already a miracle that Huo Lie could possess the combat power of the peak of the eighth rank at the late stage of the fifth rank.

But even at the peak of rank 8, it is still just rank 8.

In any combat power system, the gap between Tier 8 and Tier 9 is like an insurmountable chasm!

A peak 8th-tier cultivator trying to take on a superior? Let alone dealing with a peak 9th-tier Gugor, he would have absolutely no chance of winning even against an orc who had just advanced to the early stage of 9th-tier!

Aside from physical strength, divinity, or psychic abilities, their reaction speeds are not on the same level.

To a level 9 expert, the actions of a level 8 expert are like watching a slow-motion movie.

The Divine Emperor's avatar shook his head inwardly: "Even if Huo Lie used my sword, in a fair duel, he absolutely could not kill a peak 9th-tier being. Moreover, this kid only has the strength of one punch..."

"Gulp."

Huo Lie swallowed hard. "Hui Shen... do you really have a way to help me take down Gugor?"

Lin Hui said calmly, "You'll find out then. The first thing you need to do now is to immediately send a challenge to Gugor!"

Actually, Lin Hui had thought of a simpler plan before he came.

That is to use the legendary item [The Mask of No Form] to make the God Emperor's avatar directly transform into Huo Lie's appearance and fight a substitute match against Gugor.

They could absolutely crush Gugol.

However, after Lin Hui thoroughly understood Huo Lie's expertise, he realized that this approach wouldn't work.

Since it wasn't him who attacked, the effects of his mental power wouldn't apply to Huo Lie.

Huo Lie himself must play.

This method requires a few steps...

Lin Hui patted Huo Lie on the shoulder. "Time is of the essence. Send someone to deliver the challenge immediately. Remember, be arrogant, be cocky, make sure the entire orc tribe hears your voice!"

Huo Lie nodded emphatically, "Alright! I'll do whatever Hui Shen says!!"

"Go ahead, relax." Lin Hui smiled at him. "I never fight a battle unprepared."
