Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

"In our school's access control system, a single access permit costs 10,000 academic credits!"

"And there are strict entry standards and time limits!"

"Many students don't accumulate enough credits by graduation, or their abilities don't meet the requirements, so they have no chance of getting in!"

"Is Dean Chen giving you the green light, issuing you a pass directly?! (°ロ°)"

Chen Xing understood.

A place that could make Xiao Xiao lose her composure like this must be extraordinary.

His expression remained calm as he looked at Chen Poshan and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Chen Poshan did not answer immediately, but instead opened the bottom drawer of his desk.

Take out a box made of some kind of dark gold metal.

Upon opening the box, inside lay a token engraved with a coiled golden dragon pattern that seemed poised to take flight at any moment.

"This is a free pass to the Golden Dragon Patterned Forbidden Land."

Chen Poshan pushed the token in front of Chen Xing, his voice solemn.

"The access level is equivalent to that of a school professor, allowing entry and exit from the secret realm at any time."

"No regular hours apply; most areas are open to you."

"There are no more than ten of these levels of passes in the entire Shenzhen Wuhan University inventory."

"Those who have not made significant contributions to the school, or who have been appointed by the principal or dean of the war academy."

"And you need at least two joint recommendations from senior professors to apply."

"Under normal circumstances, they would never be given to students, let alone freshmen."

He stared intently at Chen Xing:

"But you're worth it, kid."

"Your performance in 024, the potential and mentality you've demonstrated, and..."

"Take this because of your teacher's influence. Once you're inside, everything depends on yourself."

"There are not only monsters there, but also human hearts. The families in the secret realm."

"Being isolated from the world for many years may not necessarily make one friendly to people from the 'outside'."

"Remember, your primary goal is to come back alive, and only then can you become stronger."

Chen Xing reached out and picked up the dark gold dragon-patterned token.

It feels heavy and cool to the touch, with a delicate texture, as if you are holding a warm piece of metal.

The energy contained in the token resonated faintly with his purple-gold blood energy.

He gripped the token tightly, looked at Chen Poshan, and nodded:

"Thank you, Uncle Chen. I will come back alive."

"Um."

Chen Poshan nodded and waved.

"Go. Once you're ready, set off. You don't need to report back to me. Be careful."

Chen Xing said nothing more and put away the token.

He turned and left the dean's office.

Watching Chen Xing's departing figure, Chen Poshan leaned back in his chair.

He let out a long breath, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

"That old madman Lu Ya has taken on an extraordinary disciple..."

"Golden Dragon Pattern... I hope this kid can get out of here safely."

"That place is a place where even a fifth-realm Battle Emperor wouldn't dare say they could escape unscathed..."

……

Back at Villa No. 7 in Tinglan Garden, Chen Xing immediately began packing his belongings.

The Mountain-Shattering Staff, after inspection, was stored in the Void Ring.

The SS-rank "Qitian" battle suit is on my body.

High-concentration vitality liquid, special detoxifying agent, and energy supplement.

Various healing pills, signal flares, one-time defense/attack/stealth talismans...

He filled the remaining space in the Void Ring to the brim.

Having experienced the 024 Demon Cave, he deeply understood the importance of thorough preparation.

"Brother Xing, the access permissions have been linked to your student information and my recorder."

Xiao Xiao's voice rang out, tinged with excitement.

"I have already provided all the publicly available information and internal intelligence about the Golden Dragon Patterned Forbidden Land."

"And the information I can retrieve from the school's encrypted database regarding the distribution of monsters within the secret realm."

"Territory, terrain, and even some experience notes left by predecessors."

"I've packed and sent it all to you! You can look at it at your leisure on the way! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧"

"Um."

Chen Xing responded and carefully put away the last few items.

After checking everything and making sure nothing was missed, I went straight downstairs to the garage.

The streamlined, dark red body of the Qitian Chariot gleamed with a cold, hard sheen under the garage lights.

Chen Xing opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, and started the engine.

A deep, powerful roar echoed through the garage.

The chariot drove out of the gate of Wuhan University in Shenzhen and sped off in the southeast direction.

Inside the car, Xiao Xiao projected the prepared materials onto the virtual screen in front of the passenger seat and began to explain them simultaneously.

"The Golden Dragon Patterned Forbidden Land is located deep within the Wuyi Mountains in Minnan City."

"It's about 800 kilometers from Shenzhen. If you drive at full speed, it takes about ten hours to get there."

"According to the information, the secret realm is roughly divided into three levels."

"Outer layer: energy is relatively scarce, and the monsters are mainly of the first to third order."

"It is the main training area for outstanding junior students from the two Wuhan Universities. It is relatively low in danger, but fights and accidents still occur from time to time."

"Middle layer: Rich in energy, it is one of the core areas of the secret realm."

"It is inhabited by a large number of fourth-order and above demonic beasts, including many with king-level bloodlines, and there may even be young royal-level bloodlines."

"At the same time, there are three martial arts families who have lived in the secret realm for generations."

"The main areas of activity and strongholds of the Jin, Tie, and Shi families are also concentrated on this floor."

"Core Layer: Located at the deepest part of the secret realm, with violent energy and extreme environment."

"It is said that there are royal-level monsters of the sixth rank or above that have been entrenched for a long time, and there may even be eighth-rank monster lords sleeping there."

"That place is an absolute forbidden zone. Anyone without the strength of a sixth-realm war god or higher is simply committing suicide if they go in."

Xiao Xiao's tone became serious: "Brother Xing, with your current strength, the middle level is the most suitable area."

"The monsters there are almost all of the metal element, with thick skin and amazing defense."

"The attack also comes with the sharpness and armor-piercing effect of the metal attribute."

"Common species include the Ironback Dragon, the Golden Armored Scorpion, and the Golden Ape..."

"There's also the 'Golden-Splitting Beast' with king-level bloodline and the 'Golden Dragon Python' with emperor-level bloodline."

"These demonic beasts are perfect for honing your Shattering Mountain Staff and the Heaven-Slaying Staff Intent!"

"Your staff technique relies on brute force to overcome skill, and the Shattering Mountain Staff is also adept at penetrating armor, making it perfect for dealing with these iron lumps!"

As Chen Xing drove, he quickly browsed the map and monster information on the screen.

His gaze eventually settled on the middle section.

On a red dot marked as the lair of the Gold-Splittering Beast.

"Let's go here first." Chen Xing calmly decided on his first target.

"Brother Xing!"

Xiao Xiao's voice rose eight octaves, "Most of the Gold-Splitting Beasts are fourth-tier high-level demonic beasts, and they even possess king-level bloodlines!"

"Their defense is monstrous for their class, their strength is astonishing, and they usually hunt in packs!"

"A standard pack of Gold-Splitting Beasts has at least five to ten adult individuals! You're all alone..."

"Perfect for practicing with a staff."

Chen Xing interrupted her, his tone still flat.

But the purple-gold fighting spirit in his eyes slowly rose.

Xiao Xiao was taken aback, looking at Chen Xing's cold, resolute profile that seemed to say, "My mind is made up."

Knowing that further persuasion was useless, he could only mutter under his breath:

"Fine, fine, you're the boss, you call the shots..."

"(´-ω-`)!"

Chen Xing remained noncommittal, focusing intently on the road ahead while slightly increasing the pressure on the accelerator.

The Qitian Chariot let out an even deeper roar, and its speed increased once again.

Like a dark red lightning bolt, it sped along the highway.

Ten hours later, it was already broad daylight.

Chen drove his car into the territory of Minnan City, but did not enter the urban area.

Instead, they turned onto a winding mountain road leading deep into the Wuyi Mountains.

Ancient trees and vines line both sides of the road.

Unlike the feeling of hidden dangers amidst the lush greenery of the 024 Demon Cave.

This entire mountain range seems to be a mineral deposit containing endless gold-type energy.

After driving along the highway for about an hour, an invisible barrier appeared ahead.

The barrier was not visible to the naked eye, but it was under Chen Xing's discerning eyes.

Yet it was crystal clear—

It was a barrier that stretched between two steep mountain peaks.

An energy barrier composed of countless intricate runes!

The barrier rippled slightly, and faint golden light shimmered within.

The view inside and outside is slightly distorted, making it difficult to see what's behind the barrier.

In front of the barrier stands an inconspicuous stone tablet.

The top is engraved with four large characters in ancient seal script: Golden Dragon Pattern Sky.
