When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"Jiang Feng, don't go over there!"

Seeing Jiang Feng charge towards the seventh-tier mutated monster, Qin Hongye, who was knocked back into the mud, shouted a warning despite her injuries: "The golden harpoon that monster is holding is a containment item!"

However, what happened next left her dumbfounded.

"Spatial rules? Deprivation of control?"

Ji Fan slowly stopped and pushed up his black-rimmed glasses.

"A very rare rule-based ability, which perfectly matches my vector control."

He curled an elegant, cold smile at the corner of his mouth, and without even drawing his weapon, he simply raised his slender right hand and snapped his fingers forward.

"Snapped!"

"You lowly insect, kneel down before me!"

The Sky-Splitting Crocodile King let out a deafening roar and swung its golden harpoon fiercely.

"Buzz!"

A dark golden wave, even more terrifying than before, swept towards Jiang Feng and Ji Fan.

"In my vector domain, a lifeless object has no right to dictate the rules. Give me... a reversal!"

Ji Fan's eyes shone with a bright blue light, and his level six superpower erupted.

"boom!"

The once unstoppable dark golden ripples were forced back by Ji Fan's vector rewriting, unable to advance an inch!

"What?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Sky-Splitting Crocodile King.

In a battle between masters, half a second is enough!

"Well done!"

The moment the dark golden ripples were torn apart, Jiang Feng kicked off with both legs, and the black swamp beneath his feet exploded, creating a deep pit.

"die!"

With a roar, the peak sixth-grade blood energy within him erupted like a volcano, and he raised the Dragon Fang longsword to slash directly.

"Snap!!!"

A sickening cracking sound echoed through the dead wood forest.

Before the Sky-Splitting Crocodile King could even raise its golden harpoon to block, the slash, carrying the force of a thousand thunderbolts, had already struck its armor!

The armor crumbled into pieces as if it were made of paper!

The remaining force of the violent blade energy did not diminish, and it cleaved directly into its skull, cutting through its body in two with unstoppable momentum!

The stench of black blood rained down like a storm.

"thump."

The mangled body crashed into the mud, splashing up a cloud of filth.

The golden harpoon slipped from his hand and fell to the side with a clatter.

A gentle breeze blew across the swamp.

Qin Hongye opened her red lips wide, staring blankly at Jiang Feng standing on the crocodile carcass, then at Ji Fan standing in the distance whose clothes were not even dirty, her mind completely blank.

A seventh-tier aberrant monster wielding a containment artifact, forcing her to flee, was actually killed by these two guys in less than a minute?!

Just when Qin Hongye was having an existential crisis.

"whisper!"

The chubby soul beast Dudu let out a cheerful cry.

Its round body nimbly somersaulted in mid-air, then opened its small mouth and sucked hard at the corpse of the Sky-Splitting Demon Crocodile King.

"Whoosh!"

The dense, distorted black aura surrounding it was frantically absorbed into its belly like a whale swallowing water.

As a massive influx of distorted energy poured in, Dudu's radiance grew stronger, and its size increased, with its fur shimmering with an eerie glow.

[Ding! Soul Beast Dudu has absorbed a massive amount of seventh-tier aberration energy, leveling up!]

[Dudu's current level: 30!]

[Congratulations! Soul Beast Dudu has broken through the level 30 mark and successfully awakened its third talent skill—Purification of All Things!]

【Purification of All Things: Can forcibly strip away and cleanse the world of all distortions, pollution, and curses, returning it to its original state.】

"Level 30? And he's even awakened his purification ability!"

Jiang Feng was overjoyed.

Then, his gaze shifted and landed on the golden harpoon on the ground.

Although this Class A containment object is powerful, it has been contaminated with aberrations for a long time, and it could turn against its owner if not handled carefully.

"Dudu, try out your new skill with the harpoon."

"Coo coo!"

Dudu let out a burp and obediently flew over the golden harpoon.

With a flick of its little paw, a pure, milky-white beam of light enveloped the harpoon.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

With a sizzling sound, the black mist on the surface of the harpoon quickly melted away.

In the blink of an eye, the containment object, which was originally filled with evil and curse, shed its eerie appearance and transformed into a 'Golden Poseidon Fork' with watery light flowing all over its body!

[The Class A containment item has been purified and reshaped into a high-grade spiritual artifact!]

Jiang Feng stepped forward and gripped the harpoon with one hand.

He weighed it in his hand for a moment, and then, without the slightest hesitation, tossed the high-level spiritual artifact to Ji Fan.

"then."

Ji Fan subconsciously reached out and caught it, feeling the pure and powerful force of rules inside the harpoon, and his face immediately showed a look of shock.

"You...you just gave it to me like that?"

"Take it. This thing will be most powerful when used in conjunction with your vector ability."

"I'm used to using a knife; this fork isn't suitable for me."

Jiang Feng wiped the blood off the knife and said casually.

Ji Fan stared intently at Jiang Feng, his expression complex.

Coming from a large family, he was used to seeing brothers turn against each other in the struggle for resources.

Jiang Feng was not only incredibly strong, but his magnanimity and broad-mindedness also deeply impressed Jiang Feng.

"Thanks, I'll remember this favor!"

Ji Fan took a deep breath and put the Golden Poseidon Fork into his storage bag.

Then, he took out a watch and tossed it to Jiang Feng.

"Consider this watch a return gift."

Jiang Feng caught the watch and felt that its texture was unique, neither gold nor jade.

Ji Fan adjusted his glasses, regaining his composed elegance: "This is a limited edition custom-made model from Starry Sky Machinery Heavy Industry. It's not available on the market, and the cost is around 500 million."

"In addition to its regular communication and storage functions, its dial is inlaid with a high-level defense matrix."

"As long as you inject true energy, you can instantly generate a super-powerful force field shield."

"Of course, it's also a symbol of status."

"In Kyoto, if you wear this watch, most powerful figures from prominent families and conglomerates will avoid you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately smiled.

"Good stuff, then I won't be polite."

With a flick of his wrist, he decisively put the watch on his hand.

After witnessing the terrifying strength of Jiang Feng and Ji Fan, Qin Hongye, who was always proud and arrogant, surprisingly took the initiative to apply to join the team.

Jiang Feng, as the team leader, did not refuse.

Why not have another S-class prodigy working for us?

The four of them found a relatively safe place to rest for a while.

After taking the special recovery potion provided by Ji Fan, Qin Hongye's injuries were quickly healed, and the four of them began to move again.

Over the next few hours, the entire Bone Swamp was ravaged by bloodshed.

Tang Tang was responsible for long-range target acquisition, Ji Fan was responsible for large-scale gravity control, and Jiang Feng and Qin Hongye, the two violent damage dealers, slaughtered all the monsters in the swamp as if cutting melons and vegetables.

"Ding!"

[Mission: Endless Hunt Completed!]

[The entire team receives a reward of 3000 basic merit points!]

With the addition of these 3,000 merit points, the merit point ranking has changed.

[First Place: Jiang Feng (S-Rank), Merit Points: 19500!]

[Second Place: Ji Fan (S-Rank), Merit Points: 18000!]

[Third Place: Qin Hongye (S-Rank), Merit Points: 16500!]

Jiang Feng dominated the top spot on the leaderboard with an exaggeratedly dominant position.

Then, just as the four were about to take a short break, the screen of the tactical terminal suddenly flashed with light.

[The team's mission completion rate is extremely high, triggering a hidden mission—Explore the Crimson Castle!]

[Mission Objective: Explore the Crimson Castle in the central area of ​​the secret realm.]

[Mission Reward: The first team to enter the castle and clear out the core area will receive the ultimate reward prepared by the school (including high-level martial arts skills, top-grade spirit stones, and special privileges)!]

Looking at the new mission on the screen, Jiang Feng and the other three exchanged glances, their eyes simultaneously igniting with fighting spirit.

"Central area, Crimson Castle..."

"Let's go get the ultimate reward!"

……

at the same time.

In the heart of the secret realm, at the Crimson Castle.

Inside the main hall of the ancient castle, three staff members dressed in the uniforms of Zhenyue Martial Arts University instructors were bound to a stone pillar by a writhing black scale chain.

These three individuals were all early-stage Martial Emperors of the seventh rank, assigned by the school to serve as the final challengers in the ancient castle!

However, at this moment, these three powerful figures, who were influential in the outside world, were disheveled, covered in blood, and their eyes were filled with anger and shock.

They stared intently at a figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the main hall.

It was a man wearing a white long robe.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, gazing silently at the mist outside the window. His face was pale and sickly, and he even coughed softly from time to time.

Behind the man stood an old man dressed in a black robe.

"Young master."

Elder Long stepped forward, bowed slightly, and his deep voice carried a hint of killing intent. "These gatekeepers of Zhenyue Martial Arts University are incapacitated. Should this old servant deal with them now?"

Upon hearing his words, the three instructors struggled to their feet.

One of the hot-tempered instructors glared angrily and roared at the top of his lungs, "Who exactly are you people?!"

"How did you manage to break through the spatial barrier and infiltrate this secret realm?!"

"This is Zhenyue Martial Arts University! One of the four most prestigious universities in China!"

"You dare to cause trouble here? Do you know what the consequences will be?!"

Faced with the instructor's incompetent rage, the man in white slowly turned around.

"Is Zhenyue Martial Arts University... really that impressive?"

Su Muchen's lips curled into a sickly smile.

He slowly walked up to the instructor, looking down at him condescendingly: "The school assigned you to guard this place. If those freshmen can team up and defeat you, they can get the ultimate reward, right?"

Su Muchen shook his head, a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"If this year's freshmen were just a bunch of useless trash, you guys would barely qualify."

"but……"

"There's a young guy in this year's freshmen who I really think has potential."

"His growth rate requires more intense nourishment."

"And the strength of you few... is really too weak."

As Su Muchen spoke, he slowly extended his right hand from his sleeve.

"So, as the director of this great show, I've decided... to make a little change to you all."

"Buzz!"

As Su Muchen opened his right hand, the space inside the hall began to distort.

A terrifying, distorted, and polluted aura instantly engulfed the entire hall!

A severed arm covered with countless scarlet eyes was floating in his hand!

S-Class Containment Item—[The Arm of the Evil God]!

Number S07!

"No... what the hell is this?! Put it away! Put it away right now!!!"

The moment the evil god's arm appeared, the willpower of the three seventh-rank instructors collapsed instantly, and they let out a shrill scream.

Visibly, their bodies began to undergo horrific mutations!

The skin was torn...

Bone growth is rampant...

His body was covered in tumors and sharp bone spurs...

In just a few seconds, the three powerful humans were transformed into three terrifying, mutated monsters amidst their screams!

"Go."

Su Muchen flicked his finger.

The "evil god's arm" transformed into a black and red streak of light, instantly piercing the chest of the strongest instructor monster and merging with it!

"boom!!!"

The monster, now fused with the arm of the evil god, let out a roar that was not human.

Its right arm transformed into the hand of an evil god, filled with eyeballs, and a terrifying aura that surpassed the peak of the seventh rank and even faintly touched the eighth rank suddenly erupted!

Moreover, the evil god's arm also possessed a heaven-defying special rule ability—'Void Flesh and Blood Divine Kingdom'!

With this ability, as long as it touches the enemy's blood, it can ignore spatial distance and continuously absorb the enemy's blood and life force to nourish itself.

As long as it isn't instantly killed, it is an immortal evil body!

After doing all this, the crimson in Su Muchen's eyes gradually faded, and his pupils returned to black.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

He suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.

When he released his hand, a shocking pool of dark red blood vessels was visible in his palm.

"Young Master!"

Elder Long's expression changed drastically, and he quickly supported the swaying Su Muchen.

"It's alright."

Su Muchen casually took out a snow-white silk handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"This broken body was already nearing its limit."

"Forcibly activating an S-class containment object naturally comes at a price."

He turned to look out the window, where he could vaguely see several figures rapidly approaching through the mist.

"Jiang Feng... I've prepared a big gift for you, don't disappoint me."

Su Muchen casually tossed the silk handkerchief aside and said indifferently, "Let's go, Elder Long. The stage is set, the show is about to begin, and we should leave."

"This old servant obeys."

Looking at Su Muchen's sickly yet frantic back, Elder Long sighed deeply in his heart.

The next moment, Elder Long's blood and qi exploded, and his body rapidly expanded in mid-air.

Black dragon scales pierced his skin, and enormous dragon wings tore through his robes. With a dragon roar that shook the heavens, he transformed into a black dragon wreathed in terrifying black flames!

Su Muchen leaped onto the dragon's back.

The black dragon suddenly flapped its wings, creating a violent hurricane, and transformed into a black streak of light that instantly disappeared into the depths of the sky.

Inside the castle, three mutated monsters exuding an aura of destruction were drooling greedily, quietly waiting for their prey to come to them.
