Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xing did not answer immediately.

He drove the mammoth for a while on the secondary road, and only after confirming that there were no more followers behind him did he slowly reduce the speed back to normal.

He glanced at the empty, dark highway in the rearview mirror, and his gaze darkened slightly.

After following for over a hundred kilometers, why give up at the last and most important fork in the road?

If it was just a casual coincidence, or if the tracking skills were poor and they were shaken off, that would make sense.

However, the opponent's previous tracking distance and rhythm control clearly indicated that they were an experienced veteran.

Would such an experienced driver lose track of his target because of a sudden, sharp turn?

More likely, the other party has already confirmed that his destination is Shenzhen.

Now that the destination is known, there is no need to risk exposure by continuing to track them.

They only need to be in Shenzhen, or somewhere else he might appear.

Put on eyeliner, or... take other actions.

"We're being watched."

Chen Xing slowly uttered four words, his voice carrying a hint of coldness in the quiet carriage.

Xiao Xiao also realized the problem, and her voice became serious:

"Brother Xing, you mean... that car did it on purpose? They knew you were going back to Shenzhen?"

"Um."

Chen Xing said no more, stepped on the gas, and the Mammoth accelerated, speeding towards Shenzhen.

No matter who the other party is or what their purpose is, we will meet them head-on.

He now has enough strength and resources to handle most challenges.

……

In the early hours of the morning, the Mammoth SUV came to a steady stop in front of Villa No. 7, Tinglan Garden, Wuda, Shenzhen.

Chen Xing got out of the car and locked it.

Back at the villa after two weeks, Chen Xingxian washed away the dust and bloodstains and changed into clean clothes.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the third-floor training room, looking at the tranquil night view of the campus outside, but the tension in his heart was not completely relaxed.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Chen Xing was still recovering from the fatigue of his days of travel.

The recorder on her wrist began to heat up slightly, and Xiao Xiao's voice sounded urgent:

"Brother Xing! Urgent internal communication within the War Academy!"

"Dean Chen Poshan wants you to go to his office immediately, it's urgent!"

Chen Xing's eyes narrowed.

It was unusual that Chen Poshan summoned him personally, and for such an urgent matter.

Without any delay, he quickly changed into a clean combat uniform.

He picked up the Sky-Splitting Staff and headed straight for the main building of the War Academy.

After gaining access, I took a private elevator directly to the top floor.

Chen Xing pushed open the heavy mahogany office door and went inside.

He stood with his back to the door, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Gazing at the rising sun outside the window, his back seemed somewhat heavy.

Hearing the door open, he slowly turned around.

The usually bold and unrestrained Dean of the War Academy, with his booming voice, now wore a solemn expression that Chen Xing had never seen before.

He held a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers, the smoke rising in wisps.

The atmosphere in the office was oppressive.

"You're here? Have a seat."

Chen Poshan's voice was a little hoarse as he pointed to the chair opposite his desk.

Chen Xing did not sit down, but walked to the desk and stood there.

His gaze fell on a document spread out on the table.

The document cover is a deep black, with no text on it.

There was only a skull brand that looked like it was dripping blood.

And below that are three letters that exude a chilling aura—SSS.

Top Secret, SSS Level.

Chen Poshan took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out hard in the ashtray.

Then he reached out and pushed the document in front of Chen Xing, pressing his finger heavily on the skull brand on the cover.

"Take a look at this first." His voice was so deep it seemed to be squeezed out of his chest.

Chen Xing picked up the document; it felt slightly heavy, indicating its unusual material.

He turned to the first page.

At the top of the page is a shocking, blood-red title: [Global Human Genius Assassination Ranking - Internal Update (Issue 47)].

Below are neatly arranged tables.

Each row features a clear half-body photo.

Below is detailed information including name, nationality, age, talent level, current realm, affiliated faction, threat assessment, priority, etc.

The people in the photo are men and women of various skin colors.

Without exception, they all possessed sharp eyes and extraordinary temperament, making them the cream of the crop among the younger generation from various countries and major powers.

Chen Xing's gaze slid down the list.

Line 15... Line 16...

Then, it stopped at line seventeen.

There, pasted on the wall, was a photo he knew all too well—his official ID photo taken during his martial arts exam.

His face was stern, and his eyes were sharp.

Next to the photo, it is clearly labeled:

Name: Chen Xing

Nationality: Dragon Country

Age: 18

Talent: S-Rank Battle Saint Body (Evaluated Potential: SSS)

Current Realm: Peak of Second-Realm Warrior

Affiliation: Shencheng Martial Arts University

Threat Assessment: A+

Priority: High

Status: Confirmed, Marked

his name.

He is prominently listed on this so-called "Global Human Genius Killer List," ranking seventeenth!

Chen Xing's fingers tightened slightly as he gripped the document.

The paper made a faint sound.

He raised his head and looked at Chen Poshan, his eyes calm, but a storm seemed to be gathering deep in his pupils.

"What is this?" he asked, his voice devoid of emotion.

Chen Poshan lit another cigarette and took a deep drag.

The smoke blurred his solemn face, but his gaze pierced through it, meeting Chen Xing's eyes directly:

"The only known monster forces on a global scale that possess high intelligence and a well-organized structure."

"We call them 'dens of evil'—and there's more than one."

"The creatures in these dens of demons are not just wild beasts that kill on instinct."

"They have social structures, strategic thinking, and intelligence far exceeding that of ordinary monsters, and even..."

"It has its own unique rudiments of civilization and intelligence network."

He paused, his voice growing even lower:

"This 'kill list' is made up of some of the most powerful and hostile dens of evil among them."

"A jointly developed and regularly updated kill list."

"The people on the list are all human geniuses that they believe may pose a great threat to them in the future."

"Their strategy is simple—to eliminate you geniuses at all costs before you truly mature!"

Chen Xing's gaze returned to his own name and photo on the document.

A+ level threat assessment, high priority...

It seems that his performance in the Darkblood Ruins has shocked not only the human demon hunter community.

This also successfully drew the attention of these more dangerous entities lurking in the shadows.

"They've got their eyes on you."

Chen Poshan flipped to the back pages of the document, pointing to a passage of text highlighted in glaring red.

"It's the 'Demon Cave No. 079'. The main area of ​​influence of this demon cave is located in the heart of our Southern War Zone."

"It has been entrenched for many years, deeply rooted, and extremely difficult to deal with."

"They not only have a large group of fearless and highly evolved monsters under their command, but they also control a group of people who have betrayed humanity."

"A scoundrel who betrays his country and becomes a lackey of demons."

"They act as agents for them in human society, gathering intelligence and even carrying out assassinations."

"You caused a huge commotion in the Darkblood Ruins this time. The name 'Darkblood Asura' has been established."

"Not only are we spreading the word, but their intelligence network must have received the news immediately as well."

"Given your talent and combat prowess, it was only a matter of time before you were targeted and added to this list."
