All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

"Brother Hong! I'm taking off! Holy crap! I'm taking off! Hahahaha!"

Wang Suming, who came down from the "Divine Platform" Potential Scanning Core, had no change in his aura or source energy level; he was still at the seventh stage of the Origin Realm.

But his spirits were already at their peak.

Liu Wandong, standing to the side, looked at Wang Suming's level 2 skill, which was called "Weight and Force".

Based on what he had already learned about the other party's role and fighting style in Chu Hong's team, he immediately gave a sharp and insightful evaluation.

"Going forward, your growth path should focus on increasing your source energy limit and source energy recovery. With your level 1 skill [Stacking] and level 2 skill [Weight and Strength], you no longer have any weaknesses in terms of strength."

"What you lack is endurance, the means to sustain combat. As long as you have enough source energy to use the level 2 skill [Gravity and Strength] repeatedly, your logistics role is perfectly capable of taking on the role of the main attacker."

Liu Wandong's eyes lit up when he said this.

He stepped forward and pulled Wang Suming to Chu Hong's side as well.

At this moment, he was holding Chu Hong's arm with one hand and Wang Suming with the other.

"Hehe, don't worry, our Dragon Roar Holy Academy has plenty of top-tier talent. The Heavenly Craft Academy mainly has top-tier talent in the technology field, which is not suitable for you at all. But Dragon Roar is different..."

He launched into a long-winded lecture to Chu Hong and Wang Suming, instilling in them the idea that "true strength lies in one's own power," that "Dragon Roar Holy Academy is a holy land for those who dare to attack," and that "come to Dragon Roar, where you can throw punches with more force and kill with more attitude"...

A cough interrupted him.

Unbeknownst to them, Wen Zaishan had already returned from the Dragon Pavilion, holding a token in his hand.

Seeing Liu Wandong's expression, as if he wanted to tie Chu Hong and the other person to his belt, he pushed up his glasses and gave a half-smile.

"A fierce attack comes at a price. The secret realm is all about searching, attacking, and retreating. The premise is searching, and the outcome is retreating... Why don't you tell Chu Hong and the others that the number of shattered source cores among the students at the Core Condensation Realm of your Dragon Roar Sacred Academy is far ahead of other source energy high schools?"

"Oh, let me think... If I remember correctly, Dean Liu, you launched a fierce attack back then, and the source core was shattered three times, and then repaired three times... How many times did you sell and redeem the Tiger Mountain Earl's Mansion?"

"Xiao Su, I think it's been seven or eight times already?"

Su Zheng ignored Liu Wandong, whose face was flushed red and who looked ashamed and indignant as if he wanted to die.

"Teacher, you may not have noticed... Dean Liu, the Earl of Tiger Mountain's Mansion, has redeemed the property 16 times already, the last time being four months ago."

Holy crap...

Chu Hong and Wang Suming were both visibly surprised by Dean Liu's "repeated defeats and persistent efforts".

The city lord Jiang Xingdong, whom they knew, whose source core was shattered, has yet to be able to gather enough money to repair it.

And this Dean Liu actually broke the source core three times.

That means he was killed three times in the secret realm...

Frog Fun!

Noticing the shocked and horrified looks in their eyes, Liu Wandong panicked.

"Don't listen to that old codger Wen Zaishan's nonsense, he just cowers in the back. A fierce attack is an art!"

"The men of our Great Xia should attack fiercely!"

"Equip the most luxurious gear! Venture into the most dangerous secret realms! Stomp on divine eagles and white-skinned boars, beat up the nobility of the British Empire, chop off the heads of those little devils in the Great Cold, and sleep with the tenderest women in the Heavenly Realm—that's what I call a fierce assault!"

"Go all out, Chu Hong! Your perfectly fused superpower was born for a fierce attack! You absolutely mustn't listen to that old geezer Wen Zaishan's nonsense and go astray!"

Liu Wandong was heartbroken and agitated, as if he would beat up Wen Zaishan, the founder of Tiangong Academy, on the spot if Chu Hong did not believe in the "philosophy of fierce attack" to prove him wrong.

"If it weren't for the students of my Dragon Roar Holy Academy standing at the forefront, fiercely attacking and seizing back a large amount of resources from the world's secret realm... all these [forbidden items] you're using were won with the lives of Dragon Roar's students!"

"Now, Wen Zaishan, you're mocking Longming?!"

"If Dean Zhao and I hadn't risked our lives to snatch those crucial red gems back from those Divine Eagles, would you have been able to synthesize this altar?"

"Now you're turning around and mocking us for our aggressive attack that led to bankruptcy... Wen Zaishan, you have no heart!!!"

Liu Wandong's grief-stricken voice, coupled with his almost tearful expression, made Chu Hong and Wang Suming feel ashamed of their earlier thoughts.

The two more sentimental girls, Song Jiao'er and Luo Xin, were already moved by Liu Wandong's words about sacrificing their lives for the country.

Their eyes were red.

In my heart, I also felt that this gentle and kind Dean Wen Zaishan was indeed a bit too much.

until......

Wen Zaishan glanced indifferently at the grief-stricken Liu Wandong.

"Oh~ I don't have a heart~"

He spoke slowly and deliberately, but his gaze then turned to Su Zheng beside him.

"Alright, Dean Liu already said that Tiangong has no heart, so this is just as good... Tell the finance department to stop all of Longming's source energy point subsidies and equipment maintenance subsidies for this year, and also stop the academy's policy of free synthesis of designated red-quality collectibles."

"Wait! Wait! Dean Wen, I was just being a little crazy. Look at you, how can you not take a joke?" Liu Wandong's tears and indignation vanished instantly.

He stepped forward, took Wen Zaishan's hand, and hurriedly smiled apologetically.

"Oh!"

Wen Zaishan smirked and gave a cold laugh.

He ignored the guy and looked at Chu Hong, gesturing towards the ["Divine Platform" Potential Scanning Core] on one side.

After Chu Hong obediently lay down on it.

He then spoke again with a solemn expression.

"The [Forbidden Items] numbered below one hundred are all important national treasures. As Dean Liu said, they were risked with our lives. Creating a [Forbidden Item] requires a huge amount of manpower and energy resources from the secret realm, and even has to face the fierce siege of pioneers from various countries..."

I'm not saying this to put pressure on you, I just want you to understand.

"Don't let Great Xia down!"

"Just as you deserve the full support and nurturing of Great Xia now, Great Xia deserves your full support and defense in the future!"

Wen Zaishan stared at Chu Hong, then walked straight to the control panel.

As he inserted the token he had obtained from the Dragon Pavilion into a slot on the console, the thick blocks behind him began to move again.

A short while later, something resembling an ancient imperial seal was taken out from it.

Then it was sent into the "Divine Platform" Potential Scanning Core.

The system's voice rang out instantly in Chu Hong's mind.

[An upgrade plan for the "Special Operations Division" has been detected...]

[The Special Operations Division is being upgraded!]

Just like when Wang Suming accepted the fusion of [Forbidden Item 010 - Radiation Beast], Chu Hong's body instantly seemed to transform into a person of light, radiating dazzling light.

Everything seemed so ordinary.

Only Wen Zaishan stared in shock at the data recorded on the control panel from the "Divine Platform" Potential Scanning Core.

The novel algorithms and solutions, even with just a cursory glance, were like a revelation to him.

Wen Zaishan's hands trembled slightly with excitement.

If he thoroughly studies these plans, he can upgrade the altar again.

At that time, the top pioneers of Great Xia will fuse with the [Forbidden Item], achieving a higher level of fusion. This means that their awakened level two skills will be even more powerful...

At this moment, Chu Hong was completely unaware of all that was happening outside.

His consciousness had been forcibly pulled into the [Special Operations Division].

only.

The Secret Service is now undergoing tremendous changes amidst the shifting tides of influence.

The original layout, where each department stood in a circle around the central light screen, is no longer there.

Instead.

The arrangement is fan-shaped, and on the other half, a huge portal of light appears, its destination unknown...

The voice of the Special Operations Division echoed in Chu Hong's mind.
