"Whoosh!" Jiang Ye's figure, like a bolt of lightning, charged deeper into the hall, spear in hand.

Ahead of him, a large group of black-clad martial artists wielding shields and swords formed a heavy defensive formation.

Clearly, they had been informed of Jiang Ye and the others infiltrating the Underground Fortress, and were well-prepared here.

"Ignorant humans," muttered one of them, a short-haired man marked with dark patterns, his eyes filled with rage.

"To offend Divine Concealment will be your most regrettable decision!"

"Kill him!" the short-haired man growled lowly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, over a dozen shadowy figures charged toward Jiang Ye to kill him; all were powerhouses in the late period of the First Break.

Extremely fast.

They had all integrated the characteristics of the Shadow Race, and in merely a moment, they had vanished into the shadow behind Jiang Ye.

"Swoosh!" Murderous intent erupted!

Several figures simultaneously flared up from behind Jiang Ye, attacking him.

"Courting death," Jiang Ye's eyes were cold as he swept his spear in reverse.

Great Sun Spear Technique, the twenty-first stance—Sun Meteor Return Light!

This move was specifically designed to counter attacks from behind.

At the crucial moment, he reversed his cultivation route, causing two opposing streams of Star Energy to collide, unleashing terrible power.

"Boom!" A faint purple light burst from behind Jiang Ye, revealing the phantom image of a setting sun.

Exploding like a sun meteor!

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" In an instant, those black-clad figures were torn apart, limbs flying.

Late period of First Break? Instantly killed!

"I..." Those figures hadn't even seen Jiang Ye's move clearly before they perished on the spot.

Jiang Ye didn't even glance at them, his body moved like lightning, directly charging forward.

"This?!"

"How is it possible?" The black-clad figures in front were all astonished.

One shot to instantly kill several late period First Breaks?

Even an ordinary peak of First Break might not be able to do that?

In most people's eyes, the peak of First Break is the strongest among the First Break.

But in reality, there are differences even among the peak of First Break!

Just like the top ten students in this year's Penglai University Newborn Tournament, all at the peak of First Break.

But Jiang Ye and Shen Changxi can suppress most of them.

"Kill!" Jiang Ye's silhouette moved like electricity, quickly crossing a hundred meters, attacking the powerful black-clad figures.

These were powerhouses who had achieved the peak of First Break after secret technique assimilation!

"All together!" shouted the short-haired leader, holding a battle saber and was the first to charge forward.

The remaining dozens quickly followed, surrounding Jiang Ye.

"Kill!"

"Kill him." They roared, erupting with immense power, besieging Jiang Ye.

Among them, at least ten were at the peak of First Break, the rest were in the late period.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

Jiang Ye's gaze was cold, as spear shadows constantly shifted, accompanied by the shining of Star Energy, instantly killing two late period First Break powerhouses, the spear tip carrying black-red blood.

Now, with the eruption of Star Energy, late period First Breaks were no match for even a single round.

However, those peaks of First Break were somewhat tricky to deal with together.

"Clang!" "Clang!"

Jiang Ye fought alone against dozens, erupting with astonishing booms.

The terrifying combat fluctuations smashed giant pits into the surrounding steel walls.

Facing the siege of dozens, especially those ten formidable peaks of First Break, Jiang Ye was somewhat struggling, his arm numb from the tremors.

"Great!"

Jiang Ye's eyes flashed a light: "This is the feeling."

What he craved was such an exhilarating battle.

To unleash everything without restraint!

To kill without mercy.

To break through amidst slaughter!

"Kill!" Jiang Ye growled, as the spear's tip swept across with a dazzling white light, fanning out in all directions.

...

Outside the Underground Fortress.

"The battle has fully erupted." Zhu Honglie and Chen Yuntian both stared intently at the projection.

Meanwhile, they were recording as well, evaluating Jiang Ye and the others' performance in this stage.

"Looks like the four kids are all in trouble now." Zhu Honglie shook his head.

Whether Jiang Ye, Shen Changxi, Yun Qing'Er, or Liu Wanxiao.

All were fighting hard!

Everyone faced forty to fifty enemies.

Though they were geniuses, confronting such numerical disparity, they were getting pressed.

"Who will break through the siege first?" Zhu Honglie seemed somewhat expectant.

"Liu Wanxiao's performance was the worst." Chen Yuntian remarked flatly beside him: "Give him a C-Level for this second layer stage."

Zhu Honglie glanced at his rating and suddenly laughed: "You gave Jiang Ye two 'A Levels'? You old fellow, you don't hold grudges?"

They had evaluated twice by now.

The first evaluation was before entering the second layer, on the reaction to 'wrong information'.

The second evaluation was after entering the second layer, on performance against traps.

Chen Yuntian's assessment of Jiang Ye was entirely A-Level.

"Each issue is separate!" Chen Yuntian snorted coldly: "Do you think I'm someone who publicly vents personal grievances?"

"Hahaha." Zhu Honglie laughed: "Jiang Ye's performance was indeed impressive, he has the best chance to secure an A Level this mission."

"Don't jump to conclusions."

"This is just the beginning of the second layer." Chen Yuntian said blandly: "Judging from his current performance, he might not be the first to break through the siege."

"Never mind the more difficult third layer." Chen Yuntian shook his head.

Zhu Honglie said nothing, his eyes returned to the projection.

"This kid seems intent on honing his spear technique." Zhu Honglie watched Jiang Ye's battle scene: "But at the moment, securing A-Level in the task is most important, don't lose sight of the main goal..."

Although Jiang Ye secured two A Levels.

This practical mission includes several evaluations.

For example, the third evaluation is the combat performance in the second layer.

At present, Jiang Ye's performance isn't sufficient to achieve A Level.

...

"Boom!" "Boom!"

"Bang!" Jiang Ye wielded his spear, constantly charging through the enemy ranks like a tireless killing machine.

Each spear strike held immense strength.

"This guy!"

"Can actually withstand us head-on, despite being outnumbered?" the short-haired man's mind was shaken.

He glanced at other battlefields.

Seeing his compatriots also being driven back continuously by the other students.

"Genius!"

"Definitely a genius, they must be killed!" The short-haired man, thinking this, erupted completely.

"Boom!" He slashed out a wave of saber light like tsunamis crashing down on Jiang Ye.

The other black-clad figures also unleashed all their might, their offensives falling like torrential rain.

Instantly, Jiang Ye's pressure increased tremendously.

"Come on." Jiang Ye's eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, he didn't dodge or retreat, and bravely charged forward.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

In a flash, he slew several late period First Breaks.

"Die!" Jiang Ye thrust heavily, a bright Star Energy flared, unleashing the first ultimate technique.

The spear tip like a meteor streaked, carrying tremendous force, repeatedly striking a peak of First Break powerhouse.

"Boom!" Under his frenzied attack, the peak powerhouse finally couldn't withstand it, as his chest was pierced through by one strike.

"Get lost." Jiang Ye swung his spear, flinging the man like rubbish.

[Great Sun Spear Technique: Minor Success (65%) → (66%)]

[Great Sun Spear Technique: Minor Success (66%) → (67%)]

Two system prompts flashed silently.

"My spear technique." Jiang Ye fought vigorously, completely immersed in this exhilarating melee: "It's rapidly improving."

The dense smell of blood, overwhelming killing intent, and... an incredibly real life-or-death crisis.

Causing Jiang Ye's Martial Arts accumulation over these months to erupt thoroughly.

His capabilities were skyrocketing!
