Xiao Xiao exclaimed in Chen Xing's mind,

"Brother Xing! Just how high is your combat strength assessment?"

"The system actually recognizes you, a peak second-realm cultivator, as qualified to solo an A+ level mission involving Demon Cave No. 079!"

"How outrageous are these evaluation standards?! (°ロ°)"

Chen Xing did not answer.

He put away his student card, turned around, and walked out of the mission hall.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and it felt warm and cozy on my skin.

He took out his phone, found Lu Ya's chat window, typed a message, and sent it:

[Teacher, I've accepted reconnaissance mission number 079, outside the Demon Cave. It's an A+ level mission, solo. Report to the war zone command in three days.]

Messages are replied to almost instantly.

Lu Ya: [You f***ing...]

Even through the screen, Chen Xing could imagine Lu Ya's reaction upon seeing the message.

Immediately afterwards, a second message arrived, the tone clearly suppressing anger, but more so expressing concern:

"Fine. I won't stop you. Now that you're independent, go ahead and fly."

Be careful. If you can't win a fight, run away. Don't be a hero.

[Keep this amulet close to your body, my darling!]

As Chen Xing looked at the message, the corners of his mouth curved into a more pronounced smile.

He replied: 【Okay.】

He put away his phone and looked up at the azure sky.

Over the next three days, he needs to make the most thorough preparations.

This time, the target is a place that is truly considered forbidden by humans.

A demonic lair inhabited by a race of highly intelligent monsters.

The level of danger is incomparable.

Back at Villa No. 7 in Tinglan Garden, Chen Xing went straight up to the cultivation room on the third floor.

For the next three days, apart from necessary meals and short rests, he devoted all his time to cultivation and preparation.

During the day, he repeatedly practiced the first six forms of the "Nine Forms of Burning Heaven" in the training room after achieving minor mastery.

In particular, the connection and superposition are designed to unleash the maximum power in actual combat.

At the same time, he also began to try to combine the "Immobilization Technique" with staff techniques to find the best time to control and kill.

At night, he would use his newly acquired keen eyesight.

Analyze the combat footage recorded by the recorder during the previous battle in Dark Blood Ruins.

Find the flaws in the connection between your moves and the patterns in your body movements.

And whether the strategy for dealing with different monsters is optimal.

The ability to see through the flow of energy and subtle movements with keen eyes.

This allowed him to examine his battles from a more fundamental perspective, from which he gained tremendous insights.

On the evening of the third day, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red.

Chen Xing finished his day of cultivation and stood by the window.

Watching the outline of the campus gradually blend into the twilight in the distance.

"Brother Xing,"

Xiao Xiao's voice rang out, carrying a rare hint of seriousness.

"We're setting off tomorrow. This mission's location... is the outer perimeter of Demon Cave No. 079."

"According to the limited declassified information I just obtained, it's a real meat grinder."

"Even many experienced teams of demon hunters from the fourth realm dare not easily venture into its outer buffer zone."

"This time... it's really much more dangerous than the Darkblood Ruins."

Chen Xing's gaze turned south. That was roughly the direction of Demon Cave No. 079.

"so,"

Chen Xing spoke slowly, his voice calm.

Yet, with a resolute determination, the words echoed in the quiet training room, "That's why I must go."

……

At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

The campus of Wuhan University in Shenzhen was still shrouded in tranquility.

Chen Xing was driving the car that had just come back from Linjiang City.

A powerful Mammoth V-type off-road vehicle.

We drove into the northeast corner of the campus.

A separate area isolated by high walls and energy shields—the Special Vehicle Modification and Maintenance Department of Shenzhen Wuda University.

This is a huge, gray-black factory-style building, with dozens of vehicles of all kinds parked in the open space in front of it.

Some futuristic hovercraft are having weapon modules added, while heavy armored personnel carriers are having their tracks replaced.

Some heavily modified off-road motorcycles were disassembled into pieces.

The air was filled with a unique smell of engine oil, metal, welding, and some kind of energy fuel.

It is full of hardcore mechanical beauty.

Chen Xing parked the Mammoth in a parking space marked as needing renovation and got out of the car.

On his way back from Linjiang City last time, he was followed by an unidentified vehicle, but he managed to shake it off with a sharp turn.

However, the other party's intentions and ability to identify his vehicle already constitute a potential threat.

This time, we're heading to the outskirts of Cave 079, where the enemy may be lurking everywhere.

The vehicle's concealment capabilities must be improved.

He wants to completely rebrand this car.

He had just gotten out of the car when the side door of the factory was pushed open.

A person wearing dark blue overalls stained with oil.

A bald, middle-aged man with a shiny bald head walked out.

The man was around fifty years old, with a rugged face.

Wearing thick, cut-resistant gloves, he was wiping his hands with a dirty towel.

He saw Chen Xing and the Mammoth, his eyes lit up slightly, and he strode over.

"Chen Xing? That precious new disciple of Lu the Madman? Dark Blood Asura?"

The man's voice was loud and clear, with a metallic, grating quality.

He walked around the mammoth once, then reached out and patted the heavy carriage door, making a dull thud.

"I recognize this vehicle; it's one of the last batch of Mammoth-Vs that were returned from the Southern Theater."

"The foundation is good, the engine is well maintained, and the armor is not badly damaged."

"What, want to make some changes? Did you bring this back from the last mission?"

Chen Xing nodded:

"Yes. I want to completely transform it so that people won't recognize it as the original car."

"Oh?"

The bald man raised a thick eyebrow, intrigued. "Running into trouble? Being watched?"

"Possibly." Chen Xing didn't elaborate.

"Got it. We need to stay hidden, right?"

The man stroked his chin, examining the mammoth's silhouette.

"Simple spray painting makes color changes easy."

"My name is Master Lu, the person in charge here, nicknamed 'Lu Ban'. Tell me, what do you want to change it to? Do you have any blueprints?"

Chen Xing took out his phone.

He pulled up several concept images that Xiao Xiao had synthesized based on his ideas last night and handed them to Master Lu.

In the picture, the Mammoth off-road vehicle, which was originally full of utilitarian style, has completely changed its appearance.

The entire body was transformed into a fiery and flamboyant crimson red, with flowing lines on both sides of the vehicle.

The golden flame-like patterns, resembling burning flames, stretch from the front of the car to the rear, exuding a sense of speed and power.

The original square front of the car has been slightly modified, with sharper lines and a powerful and domineering design on the hood.

The brushstrokes, seemingly piercing the heavens, wrote two large characters—Qitian!

The rear of the vehicle features a black battle staff breaking through layers of golden cloud patterns.

It is full of the spirit of fighting against heaven and earth and forging ahead without hesitation.

The overall style of the vehicle is that of an understated military off-road vehicle.

It has become a "war chariot" with a very distinctive personal style!

Master Lu stared at the picture, his sharp eyes widening instantly, as if sparks were flying from his pupils!

He suddenly slapped his shiny bald head, making a crisp "smack" sound.

Their voices rose a few decibels with excitement:

"Holy crap! This design is amazing! 'Qitian'?"

"What the hell does this mean? As high as the sky? Level with the heavens?"

"That's wild! That's domineering! Those flame patterns, that cloud-piercing design on the battle staff...that's ingenious!"

"That's a brilliant idea! Kid, did you come up with this design?!"

Chen Xing replied calmly, "Sort of. Can it be changed?"

"Yes! Absolutely!"
