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

The white light from the elevator faded from view.

As soon as Chu Hong opened his eyes, he saw a huge group of people standing at the elevator exit, all fully armed.

It's like they're ready to charge into battle at any moment.

"this......"

"Junior Brother Chu Hong! Welcome home!" Wei Boxue stood on his large mechanical spider and saw Chu Hong and the others return. If it weren't for Deans Wen Zaishan and Su Zheng still in front of him, he would have been overjoyed.

It seems Chu Hong is about to be given a dramatic, over-the-top crying performance as a welcome gift.

"Hahaha, we've got Chu Hong! Long live Tiangong!"

With a joyful shout, everyone present raised their fists in delight as they saw figures—some with rockets mounted on their mechanical arms, others wearing some kind of control helmet, and surrounded by several stunningly beautiful android female warriors.

"Well done, junior Chu Hong! Choosing Tiangong was the right decision!"

"Haha, Dragon Roar Holy Academy is practically raised by our Heavenly Craftsmen, like a son. Junior Brother Chu Hong, your decision is very wise!"

"..."

At this moment, Chu Hong looked around and saw hundreds of students with different equipment, but the vast majority of them were senior students with a combination of technology and superpowers, which was completely different from Long Ming's focus on magic, martial arts, and cultivation.

This was the first time he had ever truly witnessed the gold-level students of the Heavenly Crafts Academy.

It must be said... it is indeed no worse than Longming.

The Gold-level students are all top performers in the Core Condensation Realm. Even their aura and the look in their eyes reveal that they are elites who have experienced many brutal battles in secret realms.

While they might not be comparable to someone like Bai Ningzhi, the Rongxun faction members present today, aside from Tuoba Gu, were truly no match for these people...

Wen Zaishan stood behind Chu Hong and patted him on the shoulder.

"Now that you're back, I'll get started on making arrangements and helping you develop a plan for the construction of the [Base Island]. However, I'll need you to share some information with me on this matter."

Chu Hong nodded.

Along the way, Chu Hong was treated like a celebrity, accompanied by Deans Wen Zaishan and Su Zheng, and surrounded by a group of senior students, like a star being surrounded by admirers.

They were sent back to the camp of the Big Dog Chew Chew Chew Chew at the Tiangong Academy. Despite all that had happened, it had only been two or three days since Chu Hong and his group left.

At this moment, the facilities in the camp and the furnishings of Chu Hong and his group in the villa remain unchanged.

"Junior students, you can rest today. Tomorrow I'll bring some people to take you into the map and help you upgrade your source energy level! When it comes to escorting, the people from Tiangong are the real professionals!"

Wei Boxue held Chu Hong's hand affectionately. In a sense, Chu Hong was a super genius that they had personally brought back to the academy.

If Chu Hong truly becomes a guardian deity of the nation in the future, then the names of Wei Boxue and the others will also be remembered in the school's history.

"Phew... It's definitely more comfortable here."

As Chu Hong entered the villa, he saw familiar furniture and collectibles that they had painstakingly gathered together in the Special Operations Division, like ants carrying grains of sand.

Although the bamboo forest villa at Longming Sacred Academy was elegant, Chu Hong always felt out of place.

Not only Chu Hong, but Song Jiao'er and the others also looked much more relaxed after returning to Tiangong. Luo Xin, on the other hand...

Chu Hong frowned slightly.

"Xiaoxin, what's wrong with you? You've been so distracted all day. Were you scared by Longming's gang of bastards?"

The group of people all turned their concerned gazes toward Luo Xin.

Upon hearing these words, the latter's eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

.......

"What? These bastards ruined you, Luo Yi, into this state?"

Wang Suming's eyes widened.

In the villa's living room, Chu Hong looked at Luo Xin, who was sitting on the sofa with her head down and tears streaming down her face, his eyes filled with gloom.

Song Jiao'er comforted the little girl from the side.

"That Xia Pingjie looks a lot like the teammate who betrayed my brother back then, and that teammate of my brother's also had the surname Xia..."

"Then it must be that person's younger brother. Eight years is too long; it couldn't possibly be his son," Wang Suming scoffed.

In the living room, Luo Xin's sobs continued.

Chu Hong was already deep in thought, and he gently tapped the edge of the sofa armrest with one finger.

"Don't worry about this. I'll talk to Luo Yi first, and while I'm at it, see if he can pass the Special Operations Division's certification test. If he's willing to trust me, things will be much easier to handle in the future..."

Meanwhile, on Chu Hong's side, everyone was doing their assigned tasks: those who were to go to the Special Operations Division to practice their skills were doing so, and those who were to tidy up the camp were tidying up the camp.

The news is about how these individuals voluntarily left the Dragon Roar Holy Academy and joined the Heavenly Craft Academy.

It has spread rapidly throughout the entire Suspended Dragon City, and even the entire Xialong Base City, like a storm.

Previously, it was rumored that Tiangong Academy had snatched away outstanding students from Longming Sacred Academy, and other source energy high schools had been criticizing Tiangong Academy. However, after learning that the students had been taken back by Longming Sacred Academy, they were shocked.

They took the initiative to leave.

The bandage was torn open on the spot.

"Hahaha, isn't this ridiculous? What's the point of taking it back? Everyone in Suspended Dragon City knows all the mess that's been going on at Dragon Roar Sacred Academy all these years, even if outsiders don't."

"The name of this Holy Academy will probably only last another year or two at most."

"What a load of rubbish! So many people were fooled by that name and joined Dragon's Roar, only to end up being slaves to the young masters and ladies, constantly going bankrupt or on their way to bankruptcy..."

Dragon Roar Sacred Academy, a classically styled Taoist temple building.

Xuan Yuan Shou's expression was solemn. He put down the admonitory communication from an elder of the Dragon Pavilion. The moment he raised his eyes again, the entire room seemed to be plunged into a terrifying, suffocating pressure.

The two vice deans who participated in rescuing Chu Hong from Tiangong Academy, Liu Wandong and Gao Sheng, both stood with their heads bowed in solemn silence, their faces tense. Liu Wandong, in particular, had large beads of sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Lord Hushan..."

Upon hearing this address, Liu Wandong's legs trembled slightly: "Dean, I only just found out about this today. It was my negligence in disciplining him, I..."

Xuanyuan Shou's voice was terrifyingly cold: "These noble sons have forgotten the immense price their fathers paid, the countless battles they fought, the hardships they endured, the sacrifices they made from piles of corpses and monsters!"

"The Dragon Roar Holy Academy was established because of the support of their fathers, but..."

"Honor cannot be left to the living! Because there will always be fools who will tarnish it!"

With just one sentence, the already tense atmosphere in the room instantly plummeted to freezing point.

Liu Wandong's pupils trembled, and Goldman Sachs, standing beside him, also felt a chill.

Xuanyuan Shou casually tossed a document, which seemed to have been prepared in advance, in front of the two of them.

"Starting today, we will form the Dragon Roar Special Forces. All students in the Dragon Roar Holy Academy, regardless of grade, will participate. Our target will be the world-class top-secret secret realm that recently descended upon the East Sea, the Dragon Palace Ruins."

Xuanyuan Shou's eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

"Tell them, either live to prove your honor, or get out of Dragon Roar Holy Academy as soon as possible!"

"I have no patience not only for fools like them, but also for the two of you... Do you understand?"

A chilling killing intent emanated from Xuan Yuan Shou, and a faint, dark dragon shadow seemed to flash behind this guardian deity of the Great Xia Dynasty.

It was just a fleeting afterimage, yet it nearly made Goldman Sachs and Liu Wandong kneel on the ground.

......

In the wilderness dozens of miles outside Xialong Base City, in a place no one could have imagined.

In an underground space, Luo Yi ended his call with his sister Luo Xin with a somber expression.

When Luo Yi heard that Luo Xin and the others had transferred to Tiangong Academy, he felt a little relieved. However, when he heard the names Rong Xunpai and Xia Pingjie, he felt a little more uneasy.

Luo Yi's fists clenched tightly again.

His sister's voice still echoed in his ears: "Brother, the captain is really a good person, a truly trustworthy person. If we just trust him, everything will be alright!"

trust......

The backstab from his teammate still seemed to be sending piercing pain through his mind.

suddenly.

"Beep beep beep!"

A bright light came from the communicator, and the name "Chu Hong" appeared on the screen.

"Feed..." He connected the call.

On the other end of the communication, Chu Hong's voice was even more crisp and direct than he had imagined.

"Do you want to kill those guys who betrayed you back then?"
