"Hm?" Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes, moving like a swimming dragon, easily dodging. His gaze glanced at the man in black, who seemed to completely transform into a shadow, merging with the darkness. Clearly, this person had reached a very high level of assimilation with the Shadow Race! "He was originally just close to a First Break, but after assimilating with the Shadow Race, he could improve to the mid-period of First Break?" Jiang Ye was slightly surprised: "Crossing two stages?" This indicates that those Peak First Break powerhouses on the Third Layer may not just be approaching Second Break when they use their Secret Technique. They could truly be reaching Second Break! "Roar!" Just as Jiang Ye was pondering, the man in black charged at him again with a knife. "Clang!" Jiang Ye swung his spear out, unleashing terrifying power, instantly smashing the opponent's long knife. Jiang Ye strode forward, his spear like a dragon, stabbing straight. A streak of starlight flashed by. "Boom!" This spear penetrated the chest of the man in black, the Star Energy vibrated, causing his body to explode instantly. Mid-period of First Break, dead! If it were three months ago, this mid-period First Break man in black would have caused Jiang Ye some trouble. But now? Everything is completely different. "Too weak!" Jiang Ye snorted coldly, his spear sweeping across like a swimming dragon. This kind of slaughter couldn't provide him any training effect. Nor could it improve his strength much. Jiang Ye just wanted to quickly finish the slaughter on the first two layers, then meet the Peak First Break powerhouses on the Third Layer. Thinking of this, a trace of doubt suddenly flashed through his mind. "With such a big commotion in the battle, why haven't any enemies from the Second Layer and Third Layer appeared?" While Jiang Ye and the other three were sweeping the battlefield. Outside the Underground Fortress. At the top of Ivory Mountain, Zhu Honglie and Chen Yuntian stood on a large boulder. In front of them, a holographic projection appeared, displaying the battle scene of Jiang Ye and the other three. This place was established as an S-Class practical task location. The entire Underground Fortress had long been set up with a latitudinal net by Penglai University, constantly under surveillance. It's just that the Divine Concealment Organization didn't know about it. "The first layer poses no challenge to these kids." Chen Yuntian nodded slightly as he watched the projection. "When they reach the second layer, the difficulty will rise." Zhu Honglie looked at the surveillance on the Second Layer with a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth. Chen Yuntian followed his gaze. "These rats have actually set up a trap so quickly." Chen Yuntian laughed hoarsely, "Well, this level of difficulty is just right for the little ones to hone their skills." "These little geniuses usually have too smooth a cultivation path, experiencing some hardships this time is also good." Chen Yuntian chuckled. Zhu Honglie nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the projected scene. On the First Layer, everyone's performance was impeccable, enough to sweep through. But on the Second Layer? The difficulty will soar! This is the beginning of the trial. It is also the start of performance evaluation. "They've reached the Second Layer." Suddenly, Zhu Honglie's eyes narrowed. Chen Yuntian immediately looked over. Underground Fortress. After Jiang Ye, Shen Changxi, and the other two swept through all the enemies on the First Layer, they gathered at the entrance of the Second Layer. "Something feels off." "We've been in the Underground Fortress for a few minutes now." Jiang Ye communicated through his battle armor: "Yet no enemies from the Second Layer or Third Layer have appeared." Shen Changxi nodded: "It's a bit unusual, I think there might be a trap below." "I agree." Liu Wanxiao nodded in approval. "Another thing, I just encountered an enemy at the mid-period of First Break." Jiang Ye continued. "What did you say?" Shen Changxi's crimson eyes narrowed. The mid-period of First Break was nothing to her and the four present. But the problem is, this is the First Layer!! The enemies on the First Layer are only approaching First Break. If a mid-period First Break appears, it indicates that the Divine Concealment Organization's Secret Technique can possibly transcend two stages. The most update n0vels are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩 Reaching the Third Layer might reveal enemies at Second Break! This completely disrupts their previously laid combat plan. "Are you sure you didn't sense incorrectly?" Shen Changxi looked at Jiang Ye: "The intelligence Teacher Zhu provided clearly states that the Divine Concealment Organization's Secret Technique can only raise one stage." "The intelligence isn't necessarily accurate." Jiang Ye shook his head. Previously, when he was at An City No.3 High School carrying out a practical task, also targeting the Divine Concealment Organization, the intelligence was erroneous. It's not that the school is unreliable, but it's intentionally done that way. Confronting incorrect intelligence requires improvisational capabilities, which is itself part of the assessment. "Didn't any of you encounter a mid-period First Break enemy?" Jiang Ye looked at the other two. Liu Wanxiao shook his head. Yun Qing'Er, however, timidly raised her small hand and said, "I think I encountered one, but I'm not sure." "Not sure? What do you mean?" Jiang Ye looked at her. "It seemed like it, but I smashed him into pieces within a second, so I didn't have time to take a closer look," Yun Qing'Er said weakly. "..." Jiang Ye and the three were speechless. "It seems that only a few have mastered this secret technique," Jiang Ye said. "But to be safe, we must adjust the previous plan." "Starting from the Second Layer, there will definitely be traps waiting for us." "Better to be safe than sorry..." Jiang Ye discussed with a few people. ... A few minutes later. The four set off again, rushing towards the Second Layer. Jiang Ye and the four entered a spacious corridor. "Second Layer," Jiang Ye whispered, "Stick close to me." "Okay." Shen Changxi, Yun Qing'Er, and Liu Wanxiao all followed him. Jiang Ye's gaze was piercing as an invisible ripple emanated from him. [Sitting and Observing the Myriad Phenomena: Telekinesis can encompass the radius around oneself, penetrating all things!] After three and a half months of cultivation. Jiang Ye's Martial Arts Will Perception could now cover a radius of two meters. That means, within two meters, his Martial Arts Will could penetrate all barriers, both physical and otherwise. As soon as a trap appears, Jiang Ye would immediately detect it. Thus, Jiang Ye led the three, safely walking a stretch of the corridor. "Feels like there aren't any traps, huh?" Liu Wanxiao couldn't help but murmur. Jiang Ye's expression changed, and he shouted abruptly, "Get down!!" He instantly dropped to the ground. Shen Changxi, Yun Qing'Er, and Liu Wanxiao also swiftly plunged towards the ground. "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" In just the next second, a dense whistling sound erupted. Thousands of beams burst from the side walls, sweeping over their heads. Fortunately, they had all dropped down beforehand and weren't hit by these beams. "Laser beams?" Shen Changxi's complexion changed slightly, as she stuck tightly with Jiang Ye. These laser beams were extremely powerful, enough to threaten Second Break powerhouses. If they had been hit just now, even with the defense of the Starry Sky Armor, they would likely have suffered severe injuries. At the very least, the Starry Sky Armor would be instantly destroyed. "How did you spot them?!" Liu Wanxiao looked at Jiang Ye in shock. Shen Changxi and Yun Qing'Er couldn't help but looking at Jiang Ye, their beautiful eyes filled with astonishment. Though they had also sensed danger just now, they might not have been able to dodge in time. After all, the laser beams were incredibly fast. They could only rely on the Martial Arts Master's will to vaguely sense the presence of danger, but couldn't react as decisively as Jiang Ye. "Quickly, let's move." Jiang Ye didn't explain much. The traps in this corridor were too numerous, they had to get out as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the enemy wasn't afraid to charge in and fight them in the corridor, it would be extremely dangerous. Immediately, Jiang Ye led Shen Changxi and the three quickly out of the corridor. However, just in the next second. "Offend the Divine Concealer, kill!" A shout resounded. In an instant, dense fire lines fell like torrential rain, covering Jiang Ye and the others. "Hot weapons?" Jiang Ye was not surprised; the intel had predicted this. The Starry Sky Armor they wore was not afraid of these ordinary hot weapons; only extremely powerful laser weapons and kinetic weapons could pose a threat. But such weapons were extremely expensive, and the Divine Concealment Organization couldn't possibly arm every member with one. As the fire lines fell, yet failed to cause any actual harm to Jiang Ye, Shen Changxi, and the other four. "Boom! Boom! Boom!" From the depths of the hall, an incredibly powerful Martial Arts Qi Spirit burst forth, all were powerhouses of Late Period First Break and above. And their momentum continued to rise. Within seconds, it rose to the Peak of First Break. "Over sixty at the Peak of First Break, the rest are all Late Period First Break?" Jiang Ye's eyes lit up. This was the battle he wanted! Jiang Ye had even anticipated how his strength would improve following this frenzied slaughter. "Act according to plan!" He shouted lowly, his figure already transforming into a bolt of lightning charging forward. Shen Changxi, Yun Qing'Er, Liu Wanxiao also erupted, swiftly rushing towards their target areas.
