"Really broke through?"

Liu Wanxiao looked at Jiang Ye in disbelief.

He could see that Jiang Ye's breakthrough this time made significant progress.

"Yes."

"After a series of explosions, I suddenly comprehended the Thirty-First Form."

Jiang Ye nodded and looked at the others quizzically, "None of you broke through?"

"It's not that easy to break through," Liu Wanxiao shook his head helplessly, "Breaking through in battle is a very difficult thing."

Shen Changxi and Yun Qing'Er nodded in agreement.

In the fierce battle just now, they did make some progress.

But to say breakthrough? They were far from meeting the standards.

Breaking through is not an easy thing.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ye was also somewhat enlightened.

"It seems that it's because my talent is so high," Jiang Ye thought to himself, "So, I can break through in battle easier than others?"

His talent had been enhanced multiple times by the system.

Now it's far beyond ordinary people.

But the talent of Tao Bone is also far beyond ordinary people.

Previously, Jiang Ye thought he was about the same as Shen Changxi and the others.

But now? He had somewhat underestimated himself.

"But no matter what, the improvements brought by this kind of real battle training are much faster than boring cultivation!" Jiang Ye was quietly delighted.

How long has it been now?

He comprehended a form of spear technique, making great strides.

This is the benefit of real battle!

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye looked at the entrance to the Third Layer, "No sign of the enemies from the Third Layer appearing, seems the entrance is blocked?"

Shen Changxi and others also looked over.

"It should be blocked by the school," Yun Qing'Er whispered, "The enemies from the Third Layer can't come up."

Jiang Ye nodded.

He also had this suspicion.

If the enemies from the Third Layer had surged out just now, they might not have been able to hold on.

"Makes sense, the school has to ensure survival rates after all," Jiang Ye thought, "So they've lowered the difficulty."

S-Class mission, after all, it's just a task.

"Never mind those."

"Only the last layer left," Jiang Ye looked at the others, "Up next, we might encounter Second Break enemies."

Although the intelligence describes the strongest of the Third Layer as only Peak of First Break.

But with the support of Second Rank Secret Techniques.

There's a real possibility of encountering powerhouses that truly reach Second Break.

"Are you confident?" Jiang Ye looked at the few of them.

"Fought our way here already, what's there to say?" Liu Wanxiao said, "Just charge forward!"

Shen Changxi and Yun Qing'Er didn't speak, their attitudes said it all.

"Alright, let's stick to the previous plan."

"Pair up teams," Jiang Ye said, "Yun Qing'Er, you're with me."

"Me?" Yun Qing'Er gave him a surprised look, then timidly nodded.

Shen Changxi frowned slightly and spoke up, "Why not team up with two men and two women?"

"Men and women paired up, work isn't tiring," Jiang Ye chuckled.

Shen Changxi hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't speak again.

Teaming up with men and women, she actually preferred to team up with Jiang Ye.

But since the other party had already decided, Shen Changxi didn't say anything further to avoid upsetting Yun Qing'Er.

"Since everyone has no objections."

"Then let's set off!" Jiang Ye, holding a spear, took the lead and stepped towards the Third Layer.

The others followed one after another.

...

Outside the underground fortress, at the summit of Ivory Mountain.

"Jiang Ye actually broke through in battle?"

"His talent is this high?" Chen Yuntian was incredibly surprised, "This is not within the scope of life-and-death trials, yet he's made such great progress?"

Real battles do indeed allow students to progress rapidly.

After all, this is precisely the school's intention.

But Jiang Ye's progress has been too exaggerated, achieving accomplishments many only gain through life-and-death trials.

"Thick accumulation and thin emission, is it so strange to have such progress?"

Zhu Honglie smiled broadly, "These past months, I have guided him meticulously. If he hadn't broken through like this, that'd be abnormal."

"You old fellow, really found a treasure," Chen Yuntian glanced at him, his regret growing.

Had he known Jiang Ye's talent was this outstanding, he should have done whatever it took to get him back then!

"Yes, it seems Jiang Ye's real battle this time will bring quite the improvement."

Zhu Honglie was smiling broadly, yet his thoughts were nuanced.

He was well aware of how huge the benefits of such S-Class missions are.

The more talented the student, the more benefits they will gain!

"Elder Bai's foresight indeed."

"The matter of going ahead to White Dragon University for studies," Zhu Honglie thought, "It's really worth considering."

He had already made plans.

When this mission ends, he will arrange for Jiang Ye to further his studies at White Dragon University.

Beside him.

Chen Yuntian was closely watching Jiang Ye on the projection, longing in his eyes.

"Seems like exactly as you said."

"This time in the mission, that kid is going to achieve A Level," Chen Yuntian mused.

All three ratings are A Level.

As long as the performance in the Third Layer doesn't fall below B Level, the rating for this mission in A Level is basically secured.

Suddenly.

"They've reached the Third Layer." Chen Yuntian's expression moved.

Zhu Honglie also watched intently.

The reason this real battle action was classified as S-Class was precisely because of the existence of the Third Layer.

Close to the difficulty of 'life-and-death adventure'!

In other words, the Third Layer carries risks of death.

But if they can make it through, they will reap incredibly huge rewards.

...

Underground fortress, Third Layer.

Pitch black.

"No lights?" Jiang Ye didn't hesitate, immediately activated the battle armor's light source.

Buzz!

A beam of light emerged from the top of the battle armor, dispelling the darkness.

"Hmm?" In the next moment, everyone froze.

The entire space of the Third Layer was filled with thick fog.

Visibility was less than three meters.

"Jiang Ye, what do we do?" Liu Wanxiao moved closer, having become accustomed to following Jiang Ye's lead.

"Act according to the previous team arrangement, don't stray too far from me," Jiang Ye said.

The three nodded and quickly drew closer to him.

Under Jiang Ye's leadership, they cautiously proceeded.

They moved from one uncertainty to another, arriving at an open space filled with fog.

"What is this place?" Jiang Ye looked around and saw huge glass jars filled with black-red liquid.

In the purple-red liquid, something seemed to be soaking.

"Are those...human limbs?" When Jiang Ye saw clearly, he felt a chill running over his skin.

"This place feels like a laboratory," Liu Wanxiao said through the battle armor's communication.

"It should be a place where the Divine Concealment Organization experiments with the assimilation of the Shadow Race," Shen Changxi said.

Jiang Ye nodded slightly, it did look like that.

Suddenly.

Jiang Ye's eyes gleamed, he walked slowly forward.

On the nearby table, there was an electronic screen showing a list of names, like some kind of record.

[Liu Xiaofeng, No. 35 Institute of Talent Experiment Subject, Failed.]

[Jiang Hua, No. 34 Institute of Talent Experiment Subject, Failed.]

[Hai Dong, No. 33 Institute of Talent Experiment Subject, Successful.]

[...]

"Institute of Talent?" Jiang Ye muttered inwardly, could this be a research institute of the Divine Concealment Organization?

The list kept scrolling.

Just then, Jiang Ye's pupils contracted suddenly.

He saw a familiar name.

[Xia Qing: No. 12 Institute of Talent Experiment Subject, Successful.]
