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

"Merge and generate!"

As nearly half of the 300 million energy points in his account were instantly deducted, the [Martial Arts Training Room] in front of Chu Hong immediately began to operate.

However, this is not the end of the story.

Then, a flash of light appeared in Chu Hong's hand, and an eyeball in a glass bottle appeared.

It is precisely Cliff Young's laser-cut left eye.

"Brother Tongzi, generate a solution for this fusion!"

【Ding! 】

[We are currently planning a fusion scheme for the red collectible "Clive Young's Laser Left Eye"...]

A few minutes later.

[Recommended optimal fusion solution: Fusing superpowers with "Laser Eyes"]

[Special Ability "Laser Eyes": Consumes source energy to fire extremely penetrating and destructive laser beams from the eyes, causing massive damage to the target. The power of this ability is related to the source energy level and the source energy consumption.]

[Integrated Solution Cost: 1000W Power Sources]

"As expected... hahaha, it's fused!"

As Chu Hong entered the [Martial Arts Training Room], the [Cliff Young's Laser Left Eye] in his hand immediately transformed into a beam of light and entered his body. A clear, increasingly intense burning sensation began to emanate from his left eyeball.

"Hiss... Holy crap! Is it that hot?"

......

In the [Martial Arts Training Room], the two simultaneous operations attracted the attention of several members of the [Special Operations Division] team who had just withdrawn from the secret realm.

Newcomer Wu Shuai looked at his boss Chu Hong's further improvement with envy in his eyes.

"Alright, stop looking. Once you touch the [Heart of Domination], you can also fuse and awaken some kind of superpower..." Fatty Wang Suming laughed and nudged him.

Currently, Wu Shuaishuai has advanced to the seventh stage of the Origin Realm, thanks to the purple-quality Beast Serum produced by the Clifftop Plague Hospital.

In two more days, I will be able to fuse with the [Forbidden Item].

The other members of the team grew even faster.

Luo Yi was recovering his strength. After the source core [mutated "Plague" core] was repaired, his strength began to recover naturally. Now he has reached the third stage of the Core Condensation Realm, which is not far from the sixth stage of the Core Condensation Realm before his source core was broken.

Xu Daili has also begun preparations for condensing the source core, the [Agares Demon Eye].

While the group was busy selling the items they had brought out to the recycling department or putting the harvested goods into Chu Hong's warehouse.

"boom--!"

A surge of energy suddenly erupted from the [Martial Arts Training Room].

When everyone turned to look, they saw Chu Hong slowly walking out from there. However, the energy fluctuations emanating from his body were quite different.

"Holy crap! Brother Hong, you... you've leveled up like a rocket! You're already at the sixth level of the Energy Gathering Realm?!"

Wang Suming opened his mouth wide.

He was feeling quite pleased with himself for reaching the first stage of the Energy Gathering Realm these past few days, but just a few days later... not only has the school beauty Song reached the third stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.

When we met at the Special Operations Division today, Chu Hong was still the leader of the fourth stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.

In the blink of an eye, he has advanced two levels.

Chu Hong's face was full of smiles. He stretched his body slightly, and a series of cracking sounds came from his bones.

He took a deep breath, and with a thought, a screen of light appeared in front of him, showing his current facial features.

As he secretly activated his source energy...

His normally normal eyes suddenly lit up with a scarlet light, and he could shoot out laser beams instantly with just a thought.

"Holy crap... [Slaughter Overlord], [Weightless Field], and now there's [Laser Eyes]..."

This almost unreasonable rate of advancement was constantly testing Chu Hong's few remaining moral boundaries, namely his pursuit of elegance and his lack of interest in so-called power struggles and grand schemes.

otherwise......

If he wasn't going to eat beef, Chu Hong really couldn't think of what to eat next.

"Now we have another trump card that no one else knows about, which means... the Black Hole Council will have a few more new members..."

.......

"Master, two days have passed, and there has been no further news about 'Father' from Xialong Base City. Perhaps... he has already escaped."

Night Raven Society.

Mo Ling casually toyed with a shiny black raven feather in one hand.

Upon hearing this, he casually glanced at Jiang Long, who was kneeling on one knee at the lower end of the table.

"Do you really think that a madman who dares to act so recklessly in Xialong Base City, even disregarding that old bastard Xuanyuan Shou, would be intimidated by someone like Anben Guiyi?"

He gently shook his head.

Jiang Long was unaware that Anben Guiyi, one of the guardian deities of Amaterasu, was actually a member of the Black Hole Council.

It's normal not to think about it that much.

However, what Mo Ling cared about wasn't any of that, but rather...

"Has there been any movement from the Pigeon Court? Has she interfered in matters concerning the Loving Father?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Long quickly shook his head.

"No, Master. As you instructed, I had my intelligence personnel gather information from the outside and piece it together, but so far, there's no trace of Mu Shengnan having contacted the Dragon Roar Holy Academy. In fact... the other party seems to be quite hostile towards the Dragon Roar Holy Academy!"

......

"Alright, with my promise, no one in this Great Xia will dare to offend that kid surnamed Chu. If he knew that what should have been Xiao Hong's escort fee was exchanged for such a big promise from me, that kid would probably be laughing in his sleep."

No one in Xialong Base City could have imagined that the headquarters of the prestigious [Pigeon Court] would be located in the outer area of ​​Xialong Base City.

It was a huge, heavily guarded building area, resembling a military restricted zone.

Mu Shengnan, who had just returned home, saw her daughter's nervous expression and shook her head with a smile.

However, upon hearing this...

Mu Xue couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"If you don't say anything, how will anyone know you're here to pay off my debts..."

When her eyes met those of Mu Shengnan, the Great Xia War Goddess who had suddenly appeared and presented a paternity test claiming to be her mother, her gaze became somewhat unfocused.

Even now, Mu Xue still can't believe it's real.

She wasn't an abandoned baby from an orphanage, nor was she some unwanted wild child.

But all of this happened so suddenly.

Suddenly, not only will her collection business, which she built step by step from childhood, have to undergo a major change, or even be abandoned altogether.

Furthermore, it seems that she will face even more choices in her life.

Mu Shengnan looked at her daughter, who clearly seemed a little distant, and opened her mouth.

In the end, he let out a soft sigh.

Gently holding her daughter Muxue's hand, she sat on the sofa, her eyes filled with complex emotions as she looked at her daughter, who bore a striking resemblance to herself in her youth—equally capable and equally stubborn.

If it weren't for that mess back then, how could she have been separated from her daughter for so many years?

Mu Shengnan's eyes were slightly red, which made Mu Xue nervously reach for a tissue, but the latter gently pulled her back.

"Alright, I've been too nervous lately. I was worried that something might happen to you again... Although I think it's much better for you to stay by my side and gradually take over the Pigeon Court than to go to the Energy University, since you feel a little uncomfortable, I respect your wishes."

Mu Xue's eyes lit up, her beautiful eyes immediately filled with surprise.

however.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Shengnan's expression suddenly turned serious.

"You can go to any Energy University in the entire Great Xia Dynasty that you want, but... Dragon Roar Holy Academy is an exception!"
