Tianhai City, as the central city of Donghai Province, is exceedingly prosperous.

Even in the suburban areas, there are numerous dazzling flying buildings, towering in the clouds.

However, that is the sky, and irrelevant to the ground.

To increase greening areas, Tianhai City's suburban regions are covered with mountain forests and marshlands, providing an excellent ecological environment.

The location of this S-class operation happens to be within a mountain range named "Ivory".

"Buzz!"

The aircraft landed at the entrance of the Ivory Mountain range.

"We're here." Jiang Ye, Yun Qing'Er, and the others landed on the ground.

All were wearing Starry Sky Armor.

"Clang!" As Yun Qing'Er landed, the warhammer behind her, three times larger than her head, accidentally hit Liu Wanxiao on the head.

"Hey." Liu Wanxiao couldn't help but say, "Doesn't carrying such a big hammer tire you out?"

Yun Qing'Er didn't speak, only silently removed her warhammer.

Liu Wanxiao quickly stepped away, thinking she intended to hammer him.

During the Newborn match, Yun Qing'Er's performance was overly brutal, leaving a deep impression on him.

Yun Qing'Er looked at him timidly, then touched the warhammer, her timid expression finally calming down.

It seemed only when she touched the warhammer could she feel slightly at ease.

Shen Changxi, with white hair and red eyes, glanced at the two of them and shook her head, feeling they were unreliable.

"Jiang Ye." She eventually looked at the handsome young man and said, "Do you have any plans?"

For this operation.

Zhu Honglie also hadn't mentioned any combat strategies.

It seemed sufficient just to wipe out the enemies.

But Shen Changxi knew the operational plans and strategies would surely be considered in the evaluation too.

"Let me take a look." Jiang Ye pressed the button on his wrist.

"Beep!" A projection emerged, showing the map of the Underground Fortress.

"This Underground Fortress is divided into three layers."

Jiang Ye looked at the map and said:

"Layer one underground, over three hundred people, all nearing First Break."

"Layer two underground, more than two hundred people, basically all at First Break."

"Layer three underground, over one hundred people, among them more than fifty at the Peak of First Break."

As Jiang Ye finished speaking.

Liu Wanxiao laughed and said, "Why do we need a plan? The four of us together can clear all three layers in no time."

"It's not that simple." Shen Changxi shook her head and said, "Divine Concealment Organization members possess bizarre secret techniques, capable of rapid strength increase in a short time."

"Those fifty plus at the Peak of First Break, after performing secret techniques, might approach Second Break."

Her expression was serious.

Upon hearing this, Liu Wanxiao's face also became serious.

Jiang Ye also fell into contemplation.

Nearing Second Break is not akin to Peak of First Break, though not yet Second Break, it's much stronger than typical First Break.

Fifty at the Peak of First Break, they could handle.

But if it's fifty nearing Second Break? Once encircled, they would be severely injured if not dead.

"Before action commences, let's lay things bare first."

"Don't hide your strength," Jiang Ye said, "so we can devise a plan."

"Alright." Shen Changxi nodded and was the first to say, "My Red Moon Swordsmanship has been cultivated to the first and third ultimate techniques."

"Starry Sky Secret Technique 'Shattered Star' has also reached Minor Success." the young girl said.

"What do you mean?" Liu Wanxiao asked surprised, "You haven't mastered the second ultimate technique?"

Shen Changxi nodded and said, "In the previous Newborn match, I only mastered the third ultimate technique, but not the first two."

"In the past half month, I just mastered the first ultimate technique."

"Impressive." Liu Wanxiao was speechless.

Jiang Ye was also a bit surprised.

Originally, he thought she had mastered all three ultimate techniques in just three months, which immensely stimulated him.

Turns out, it's not the case?

However, not mastering the first two techniques yet mastering the third one is also quite remarkable.

If Jiang Ye were in her place, he might not have been able to do it.

"Liu Wanxiao, what about you?" Jiang Ye looked at the handsome young man.

"My Giant Wave Saber Technique has only mastered the first and second ultimate techniques."

Liu Wanxiao shrugged and said, "I haven't learned Starry Sky Secret Technique, but I have cultivated various art techniques, combat strength...close to Second Break."

Jiang Ye nodded and looked at Yun Qing'Er again.

"I..."

"Currently can achieve two hundred hammers in one second," Yun Qing'Er timidly said, "not sure what that counts as."

"Hiss!"

Everyone gasped, looking horrified at the timid girl.

Even Shen Changxi almost lost her composure, her eyes twitching, "Can't you switch weapons? It's terrifying."

Yun Qing'Er smiled bashfully, "Can't learn anything else."

"The hammer is quite alright," Jiang Ye laughed, "You should also be close to the Second Break level."

Yun Qing'Er nodded.

"Jiang Ye, what about you?" Liu Wanxiao curiously asked.

Shen Changxi and Yun Qing'Er also looked at him.

Jiang Ye candidly said, "My Great Sun Spear Technique progressed to the thirtieth form, capable of performing the first and second ultimate techniques, the third ultimate technique prototype."

"As for Starry Sky Secret Technique, I'm halfway to Great Success."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent unanimously.

Hiss!

The next moment, they all gasped again.

"Not kidding, man."

"Are you joking?" Liu Wanxiao asked incredulously, "It's only been half a month, and you've progressed this much?'

Shen Changxi also asked puzzled, "I recall half a month ago, you had just mastered the second ultimate technique, right?"

"In such a short period, you've mastered six spear techniques?"

She knew the Great Sun Spear Technique.

Each twelve forms compose a set of ultimate techniques.

During the Newborn match, Jiang Ye was only cultivated up to the twenty-fourth form.

To advance so rapidly in just half a month?

They were all quite shocked, looked at Jiang Ye.

"Perhaps Teacher Zhu was stricter with me." Jiang Ye smiled.

Yun Qing'Er skeptically asked, "Wasn't it just luck?"

"..."

You've already said it all, what else can I say!

Jiang Ye shook his head with a smile, "Luck is part of it, but mainly thanks to Teacher Zhu's guidance."

"Guidance from Teacher Zhu? So potent?" Liu Wanxiao was quite bewildered.

Choosing Teacher Gu Xuantong didn't seem to have brought much help.

"What else? Should I claim I'm cheating?" Jiang Ye glanced at him.

"Damn." Liu Wanxiao couldn't help but say, "I'm considering defecting the school to go to Teacher Zhu."

Everyone laughed.

The tense atmosphere dissipated instantly.

"Since we now understand each other's strength."

"Let's devise the combat strategy," Jiang Ye said solemnly, "While we aren't up to Second Break, donning battle armor boosts our combat effectiveness close to Second Break."

"Therefore, passing the task isn't hard, but to secure an A-Level rating, appropriate strategy is essential."

Everyone nodded.

"Though the enemy quantity on the first layer is high, none have reached First Break; we can sweep through easily."

"Second layer..." Jiang Ye analyzed the tactics for the first three layers.

Shen Changxi, Yun Qing'Er, and others listened attentively.

Occasionally, they insert their thoughts too.

Shen Changxi said, "Enemies from the third layer might support the first two layers; to avoid prolonged battle, we must swiftly eliminate enemies from the first two layers."

Jiang Ye nodded.

"Looking at the map's layout, let's discuss how to swiftly clear the first two layers and then regroup at the third layer's entrance..."

...

Half an hour later.

The four prepared, and together sped toward the entrance of the Underground Fortress.

Fortress Judgment, officially commenced!
