High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body

"Li Mo, it seems you already knew of our existence. No wonder the Marshal values ​​you so much!"

A hearty laugh rang out from the crowd, and then a man slowly walked out. He was Xiao Se, the commander of the capital's garrison.

Li Mo knew that someone was protecting him in secret, but he didn't know that the person protecting him would have such a powerful background.

Xiao Se, a peak expert of the Four Symbols Realm, is currently the commander of the capital city garrison. At only thirty-five years old, he is considered an extremely rare genius in the military.

The Beijing garrison he led was the elite of the elite.

This may be the only regimental-level unit in the Great Xia Dynasty with more than thirty martial artists at the Third Harmony Realm.

In a regular army, a Sanhejing would be at least a regimental-level officer, capable of commanding thousands of troops.

However, within the capital's garrison, they were merely Xiao Se's subordinates.

Li Mo originally thought that the shrewd Sun Yunan would be difficult to deal with, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

This lineup could probably be defeated even by martial artists at the Heaven and Earth Realm.

A mere three units, not worth mentioning.

"Commander Xiao!"

Li Mo immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute as a greeting to Xiao Se.

Xiao Se waved his hand and said, "Alright, I wouldn't dare let you, a future military general, call me commander. If you don't mind, I'm a few years older than you, so you can just call me Brother Xiao."

Xiao Se's subordinates all had complicated expressions upon hearing this, knowing that none of them dared to call Xiao Se "brother".

In a regular military unit, they would all be superiors to Li Mo's superiors by now.

Li Mo looked slightly embarrassed, then pointed to Sun Yunan and said, "My task is complete. This person is now in your hands."

The task assigned to Li Mo by his superiors was to find the traitor within Starry Sky University.

Originally, Li Mo planned to exceed the mission target and use the mole within Starry Sky University to expose their higher-ups.

But now it seems that Li Mo was completely wrong.

Huang Zhongze and Sun Yunan were originally from the Black Soil Tribe, which means they were the superiors of those traitors in the army.

Of course, the Black Soil Tribe's plans in the Great Xia were definitely not limited to just these two people, but the rest were not Li Mo's concern.

Xiao Se nodded and said, "I have just reported to the marshal. The marshal said you did a very good job. The rest is up to our capital garrison. You can prepare to return to camp to receive your reward."

Without saying a word, Li Mo automatically took a few steps back and handed over the task of capturing the person to Xiao Se.

Seeing the powerful auras surrounding him, Sun Yunan's expression was filled with grief and indignation. He had been infiltrating Starry Sky University for over thirty years, and had sent countless intelligence reports to the Black Soil Tribe.

If Li Mo hadn't caused this scene, he would never have been discovered.

Suddenly, he shouted towards the building above, "Old Huang! Run!"

But before he could finish speaking, Huang Zhongze was thrown down like a dead dog, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Why are you still running?! Do you really think our capital garrison is just sitting around doing nothing? We let your men escape last time because you're inexperienced!"

A thin man shouted this after throwing Huang Zhongze down.

Upon seeing this, Sun Yunan showed a look of despair. He had originally thought that he could leave a spark of life to return to the Black Soil Tribe, but now it seemed that there was no way he could do so!

The next moment, Sun Yunan suddenly punched himself in the chest, then exchanged a glance with Huang Zhongze: "Old Huang, it seems we're not going anywhere today, but it doesn't matter. Taking the people of the Great Xia capital with us to our deaths isn't bad!"

"Oh no, he's planning to self-destruct!" someone from the capital's garrison exclaimed.

Self-destruction is a unique technique that martial artists at the Three Harmony Realm or above can only forge after cultivating their divine soul.

Detonate the soul, transforming the physical body's energy into a terrifying force that destroys everything.

Actually, this method was invented by the Great Xia Dynasty.

Li Mo had long heard that on the battlefield, some soldiers of the Great Xia Dynasty would self-destruct their souls when they were driven to the brink of defeat by the enemy, so as to perish together with the enemy.

The textbooks also record many of the deeds of these heroes. The most famous of them is General Wang Tao, who was the highest-ranking officer to self-destruct on the battlefield.

At that time, he was ambushed by the White European Empire and the Black Earth Tribe. The enemy's forces outnumbered his by ten times. As his troops were being devoured and gradually annihilated, and he was surrounded and captured by the enemy, General Wang Tao chose to detonate his own soul without hesitation.

The result was that the enemy's 500,000-strong army was completely wiped out!

Since then, the Black Earth Tribe and the White Europe Empire have been wary of the Great Xia people's method of self-destruction and have even learned from it.

A martial artist at the Three Harmony Realm is naturally not as powerful as General Wang Tao at the Heaven and Earth Realm, but he can still blast open a land area of ​​tens of kilometers in radius.

Although this area is a slum, this is the capital city, with at least a million people living within a radius of tens of kilometers. If Sun Yunan were to self-destruct, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, Xiao Se's expression remained calm. Self-destruction was a method invented by the Great Xia Dynasty. If Sun Yunan were to self-destruct at this moment, wouldn't that be like showing off one's skills in front of the founder?

"Stop him."

Xiao Se waved his hand casually, and Sun Yunan was immediately surrounded by people.

Four of them grabbed Sun Yunan's limbs and then broke them. Another man punched Sun Yunan hard in the dantian. Sun Yunan, who was preparing to self-destruct, instantly collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.

However, that wasn't the worst of it. The next moment, an ice-type martial artist stepped forward, and in an instant, Sun Yunan was frozen into an ice sculpture, with no possibility of self-destruction left!

"Old Sun!"

Seeing Sun Yunan being tortured like this, Huang Zhongze, his accomplice, was heartbroken.

Then, he was also grabbed by the limbs and forced to the ground.

Li Mo walked slowly to Huang Zhongze, but before he could speak, Huang Zhongze began to shout.

"Li Mo, I won't say anything, don't waste your time!"

Li Mo said coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not asking about your companions. I know you won't tell them so easily, but someone will take care of it for you."

"I only have one question for you: was it your idea for the Black Death Gang to assassinate me?"

Faced with Li Mo's question, Huang Zhongze hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "That's right, it's me!"

"Why? Haven't you always looked down on me the most?"

"You don't like it?"

Suddenly, Huang Zhongze chuckled.

"I never looked down on you. It was Cao Yun, that snob, who looked down on you. I just did what he wanted and drove you out!"

"I've seen everything you've done at school. Even if you don't regain your talent, with your intelligence and perseverance, you can still achieve great things in the future! Since the beginning of the new era, although everyone has been pursuing talent, there have also been some extraordinary individuals who have achieved great success with very little talent!"

"What a pity someone like you wasn't born into my Black Earth Tribe! To tell you the truth, I never trusted you from the start. Once I got the Chaos Star Technique, I would have killed you on the spot!"

"As long as you live, you are a threat to my great Black Earth Tribe!"
