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

Chen Xing nodded, stopped looking at the instrument, and turned to walk towards the training room.

In the center of the cultivation room, Chen Xing had a thought.

The Void Ring on his left index finger glowed slightly, and the heavy, menacing Sky-Splitting Staff appeared in his hand.

The weight of 408 kilograms is just right for his current strength.

He gripped the middle of the stick with one hand and swung it around casually a few times.

The black staff sliced ​​through the air with a deep, powerful whistling sound.

The thickened hammerheads gleamed with a cold, hard metallic luster under the light.

After getting used to the weight and center of gravity of the new weapon, Chen Xing put it back into his Void Ring.

He examined the three cubic meters of space inside the ring:

Sky-Splitting Staff, and a spare C-grade Dragon Spine Staff.

Five bottles of Grade C Vitality Liquid and one Grade 4 Fire Spirit Tempering Pill.

Three bottles of Grade B antidote and two signal flares.

A spare set of combat uniform.

Several high-energy compressed biscuits and water purification tablets, as well as some basic wilderness survival tools.

There is still about half the space left, enough to hold the large amount of monster materials that may be obtained during the mission.

He changed back into the "Night Owl-III" advanced combat suit.

The supple, form-fitting black material perfectly accentuated his tall and agile physique.

Broad shoulders, a strong chest, and clearly defined abdominal muscles are subtly revealed through the fitted design.

The combat suit's automatic adjustment function made him feel comfortable and flexible.

Its fire-resistant and waterproof properties can also provide some protection in the wild.

Standing in front of the full-length mirror on the wall of the training room, Chen Xing looked at himself in the mirror.

His face was cold and stern, his eyebrows and eyes sharp, and a golden light seemed to flicker deep within his pupils.

His sleek black combat uniform accentuated his calm and reserved demeanor.

Yet it also carries a sharp edge that is poised to be unleashed.

"It's starting to look promising."

Chen Xing muttered to himself, his eyes devoid of smugness, only displaying a calm scrutiny.

"Brother Xing, are you ready? Time to go get the mission recorder! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧"

Xiao Xiao floated out of the phone and reminded her.

She has recovered from the shock of being greeted with an S-rank affinity by everyone and has returned to being the lively little assistant.

"Okay, let's go."

After leaving Tinglan Garden, Chen Xing arrived at the War Academy area, a place bustling with people.

The "War Zone Mission Hall" is filled with a chilling atmosphere.

The huge holographic screen in the hall was still displaying various tasks.

Trainees came and went in a steady stream to accept and deliver tasks, and the air was filled with an atmosphere of tension and excitement.

Chen Xing walked up to a self-service task terminal and swiped his SS+ student card.

His personal information and a list of available tasks immediately popped up on the screen.

At the very top was the A-level mission that Lu Ya had assigned to him:

[Clearing out and investigating anomalies in the outer area of ​​Linjiang City - Dark Blood Ruins].

He clicked on the task and selected "Confirm Acceptance and Receive Task Recorder".

The terminal screen flickered a few times and emitted a soft beep, at which point a hidden drawer on the side popped out automatically.

Inside, there was a soft black velvet cloth, on which lay a piece about the size of a fingernail.

It has an irregular rhombus shape.

A chip that is entirely silver-white with tiny energy loops flashing on its surface.

"This is the mission recorder, Brother Xing."

Xiao Xiao floated to the top of the drawer and explained,

"Place it on your temples, wrists, or chest—locations close to major blood vessels—to facilitate monitoring of vital signs."

"It will automatically attach and activate the recording function."

"During the mission, it will record your vital signs and combat energy responses throughout."

"Data such as movement trajectory and kill target (which needs to be confirmed) will be used for review and evaluation after the mission is completed, as well as for the calculation of academic credits."

"At the same time, it has a built-in emergency rescue module that can be activated if your vital signs are endangered or you encounter force majeure."

"It will automatically send a high-priority distress signal to the nearest theater command node and school."

Chen Xing picked up the silver-white chip; it felt slightly cool to the touch.

He thought for a moment and then placed it on the inside of his left wrist, near the artery.

The moment the chip comes into contact with the skin, the tiny energy circuits on its surface suddenly light up.

It then seemed to melt away, silently embedding itself into the skin's surface.

Only a barely visible silver dot remained.

Chen Xingneng could sense an extremely faint energy connection coming from the chip.

It resonated subtly with the Qi and blood in my body, but it did not affect my movements or cause any discomfort.

"Pairing successful! Recorder activated, initializing... Initialization complete!"

"Starting to record the mission 'Clearing out the outskirts of Linjiang City - Dark Blood Ruins'."

A cold, synthesized electronic voice sounded directly, a notification from the recorder.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Xiao's playful voice squeezed in, ringing out directly in Chen Xing's mind.

Completely different from the electronic sound of a recorder:

"Brother Xing! I've linked in too! (´▽`)"

"Hmm? You can come in too?" Chen Xing asked in his mind.

"Of course! I'm a school-level AI, with very high privileges!"

Xiao Xiao's voice was tinged with smugness.

"This recorder itself has some data storage and simple analysis functions."

"That way, even if you enter the mission area..."

"I can also stay with you and assist you in the form of data!"

"It can definitely help you analyze the battle situation in real time, record battlefield data, and provide simple tactical suggestions!"

"It's like having an offline personal advisor! How about that, am I smart? (✪ω✪)"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing nodded.

This was an unexpected surprise.

With Xiao Xiao, a "local," assisting, there is indeed an extra layer of protection in the perilous wilderness and ruins.

After receiving the dashcam, I successfully linked it with Xiao Xiao.

Chen Xing walked out of the mission hall.

The afternoon sun was warm and bright, shining on the vibrant campus of Wuhan University in Shenzhen.

He stood on the steps, took out his phone, and opened QQ Message.

First, I sent a message to my father, Chen Qingshan:

[Dad, the school has assigned me a mission to the vicinity of Linjiang City, which will take about a week. Everything is going smoothly.]

Messages are replied to almost instantly.

Chen Qingshan seemed to be constantly glued to his phone:

Son, be careful. Don't be reckless; if you can't win a fight, run away. There's no shame in that.

Dad is waiting for you to come home.

It was followed by a cheering emoji, featuring Superman raising his fist.

Seeing his father's clumsy yet concerned reply, Chen Xing's cold face softened for a moment.

He replied with an "OK".

Then, he opened Lu Ya's chat window.

I sent a message:

[Teacher, the task has been confirmed and the recorder has been linked. We will depart first thing tomorrow morning.]

Lu Ya replied quickly, in his usual style:

Okay! Got it! Go get to work!

Remember my words: Come back alive! If you can't beat me, mention my name and see who dares to mess with my student, Lu Ya!
