Silently upgraded, indestructible for 100 million layers!

A week has passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Lan's life remained regular throughout the week.

He trained one-on-one with Lu Yuan every day, and after a week, he made a lot of progress.

Then yesterday I went to the Spirit Chamber, but this time I only collected half of the progress, which is still a bit short of leveling up.

However, Jiang Lan wasn't in a hurry. The spiritual energy chamber was available every week. If he couldn't upgrade this week, he could just wait until next week.

Just then, Jiang Lan's phone, which was placed next to her, vibrated.

He picked it up and saw that it was a message from Zhao Xuan.

[We're leaving the city tomorrow. Come to the training area meeting room at 3 PM today for mission briefing.]

Jiang Lan glanced at the time beside her and realized it was already 2:30.

He forced a smile, quickly washed up, put on his clothes, got up, and headed straight for the training area.

When he arrived at the meeting room, it was ten minutes to three.

At this moment, there were already about ten people sitting in the conference room, scattered around. They all looked to be quite young, probably special admissions students.

Zhao Xuan was sitting near the door when he saw Jiang Lan come in and nodded at him.

Jiang Lan walked over and sat down next to him.

He glanced around casually.

The people present were all powerful, most of them were at the Condensation Realm, and two or three of them had already reached the peak of the Condensation Realm, even faintly exuding the pressure of those at the Blood Exchange Realm.

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be a specially admitted student of the Martial Arts Academy.

Heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Jiang Lan's gaze lingered on a burly man sitting by the window.

That burly man was even bigger than the Spring Festival travel rusher, and his aura was the most prominent; he was probably the strongest among everyone present.

The burly man seemed to sense Jiang Lan's gaze, turned his head to look at him, and then quickly looked away.

Zhao Xuan lowered his voice and said, "That person is called Fang Duo. He's at the early stage of the Blood Exchange Realm and ranks second among the special recruits. Don't recruit him."

"Mm." Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

He had no intention of provoking anyone.

A moment later, a middle-aged man in a teacher's uniform walked in and stood in front.

"Everyone's here. Let me briefly explain tomorrow's tasks."

"Meet at the entrance of the training area at 7:00 AM and depart together for the deep wilderness area in the north."

"Groups of three, six hours in total, no group changes allowed."

"Points rules: 1 point for a second-tier ferocious beast, 5 points for a third-tier beast, and 20 points for a fourth-tier beast."

"Points can be exchanged for essence blood, pills, and other cultivation resources. The specific exchange ratio is the same as before. Those who do not know will be announced after the event ends."

"The crystal cores and ferocious beast materials obtained from the hunt will be distributed among the respective groups."

"Each group is issued one communicator and two signal flares."

Suddenly, someone in the audience spoke up: "Teacher, what should we do if we encounter a fifth-tier ferocious beast?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the other person.

"Run if you can. If you can't, send out a signal flare and wait for support. Don't try to be brave."

"The ferocious beasts in the deep wilderness of the north are mainly of the third and fourth order. The strength of the fourth order beasts is comparable to that of the Blood Exchange Realm, which is no joke. Act according to your ability."

"As for the fifth tier, the probability of it appearing in that area is extremely low, but accidents cannot be ruled out, so bring your signal flares; they could save your life in a critical moment."

Fourth-tier ferocious beast, 20 points.

Jiang Lan pondered for a while.

Although he didn't know the exact value of the points, given how generous the Martial Arts Academy was, they certainly wouldn't be low.

Moreover, the crystal cores and materials of fourth-tier ferocious beasts are easily worth tens of thousands of credits at market prices.

Hunting ferocious beasts was his specialty; back in the outlying base city, he had accumulated his essence blood through this skill.

Our strength is many times greater now than it was back then. We should be able to make a lot of money this time.

Jiang Lan felt a surge of excitement.

The teacher then gave a few more points to note before announcing the end of the meeting.

As everyone followed suit, Zhao Xuan stood up and looked at Jiang Lan.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet your teammates."

"Okay." Jiang Lan readily agreed and followed Zhao Xuan out of the conference room.

In the corridor stood a tall girl, probably a little over 1.7 meters tall, with a high ponytail and delicate, aloof features.

A long knife was hanging at her waist.

"Lin Wan," Zhao Xuan pointed at Jiang Lan, "this is the new guy I told you about."

Lin Wan glanced at Jiang Lan, nodded slightly, and said in a somewhat cold tone:

"Hello there."

Seeing this, Jiang Lan also greeted her, "Hello."

The two stared at each other, neither showing any intention of continuing the conversation.

Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Wan, then at Jiang Lan, speechless.

He had no choice but to take over the conversation himself: "Lin Wan, a special admissions student, has been here for over a year. She's a speed-type character, skilled in knife techniques, and has more hunting experience in the wild than I do."

He then looked at Lin Wan: "Jiang Lan, the new special recruit, is a strength-type and defense-type, basically unkillable. I personally experienced it during our sparring session a couple of days ago, and it's true that he's hard to hit."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan's gaze once again fell upon Jiang Lan, but this time it was tinged with curiosity.

"Can't be beaten to death?"

"Literal meaning," Zhao Xuan said. "He has a special talent; his defense is very strong. At least I can't break through it."

Lin Wan didn't ask any more questions, but her gaze towards Jiang Lan became more serious than before.

Zhao Xuan continued:

"Let's set the general direction for tomorrow's tactics first."

"If we encounter a Tier 3 opponent, Lin Wan and I will handle it. Jiang Lan, you can rest on the side without any problem."

"When we encounter fourth-tier opponents, Lin Wan and I will be responsible for pulling and restraining them, while Jiang Lan will be responsible for head-on confrontation and finishing them off."

He glanced at Jiang Lan and added another sentence.

"Anyway, you're not afraid of getting beaten up."

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

"……Reasonable."

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan, who had been expressionless just moments before, also showed a smile.

The three chatted briefly before going their separate ways.

Zhao Xuan took two steps, then turned back and said:

"Don't be late tomorrow at seven o'clock."

"rest assured."

……

In the evening, Jiang Lan returned to her residence.

As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the aroma of food.

Shen Qingqiu was busy in the kitchen when she heard the noise and poked her head out.

"You're back? Go wash your hands, you'll be done soon."

"good!"

Jiang Lan changed her shoes, went to the bathroom, washed her hands, and then waited on the sofa for a while.

A moment later, the food was served, and the two sat down.

Shen Qingqiu asked:

What are your plans for tomorrow?

"Leaving the city, a hunting mission organized by the academy."

Shen Qingqiu paused:

"You left the city after only a few days?"

"The academy has monthly tasks; you can sign up voluntarily," Jiang Lan said. "Don't worry."

Having worked in the scavenging team for several years, she naturally knew what it meant to leave the city.

After a moment of silence, she slowly said:

"Leaving the city is fine, but please be careful."

"Don't worry, Auntie, it's not the first time. I know what I'm doing."
