"Xia Qing?"

Jiang Ye didn't expect to see this familiar name in such a place.

"Is it someone with the same name?" Jiang Ye mumbled to himself.

"Number 12." He looked at the introduction on the list, pondering in his heart.

Number 12 likely refers to the Institute of Talent's identification number.

Yet, the name of this Institute of Talent is intriguing.

Could it be that the Divine Concealment Organization is researching talents?

The success of the experimental subject means that the Divine Concealment Organization succeeded in their talent experiments on Xia Qing?

"Jiang Ye." Liu Wanxiao interrupted his thoughts: "What are you spacing out for?"

"Nothing." Jiang Ye shook his head.

He didn't want to get too deeply involved in these matters.

It was better to keep a distance.

"Let's go." Jiang Ye led the group deeper inside.

...

At the same time.

Deep within a vast Mist Hall.

"They're here." A young man with a pale complexion and delicate features was staring at the surveillance screen in front of him.

On the monitor, the images of Jiang Ye, Yun Qing'Er, and two others were displayed.

"Geniuses from Penglai University."

"You think you can use us as mere tools for honing your skills? Dream on!" A cold light flashed in the young man's eyes: "Today, you will all meet your end here."

He then looked towards a group of black-clad figures in the distance, waving his hand: "Begin the operation, give them a 'welcome gift'."

"Yes!"

The group of black-clad figures swiftly transformed into shadows, merging into the mist.

...

Moments later.

Jiang Ye and his team entered the Mist Hall.

As soon as they stepped in.

"Laser weapons." Jiang Ye's expression changed abruptly, quickly shouting out a warning.

Simultaneously, he rolled swiftly to the side.

Shen Changxi, Yun Qing'Er, and the others also quickly dodged aside.

In just the next second.

"Boom! Boom!" Blazing white beams of light pierced through the mist, shooting towards them from deep within the hall.

Jiang Ye and his team swiftly evaded.

Being at the peak of the First Break, their reactions were extremely agile.

With the aid of their battle armor, they could even dodge ordinary bullets.

But the laser weapons were too fast.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Dozens of laser beams shot towards Jiang Ye and his team.

The laser beams formed a dense web of fire lines, cascading down upon them.

"Bang!!"

A white beam grazed Liu Wanxiao's shoulder, piercing through his battle armor in an instant.

"This is not good." Liu Wanxiao's face changed dramatically.

"Jiang Ye, let's charge directly!" He couldn't help but shout: "If we keep dodging, we'll be riddled eventually!"

The mist was rolling.

Along with the extreme speed of the laser weapons, even they found it incredibly taxing.

If it were any other top ten students, they would have been shot through by the laser weapons by now.

"No."

"The enemies are at least over a hundred meters away. Charging directly will get us shot to shreds," Jiang Ye said fiercely calm: "Laser weapons cannot fire continuously, wait for their rotation intervals!"

"But what if they have a lot of laser weapons?" Shen Changxi asked.

Jiang Ye didn't respond immediately.

Indeed, what if every one of them had a laser weapon?

According to the intel, there were easily over a hundred people on the third layer!

In a flash of inspiration, Jiang Ye's mind was set on a bold plan.

"Then we charge!"

"Cover me." Jiang Ye said deeply: "Once I get within fifty meters, I can take them down!"

"Fifty meters? But you can't see anything," Liu Wanxiao was stunned.

The mist in the hall reduced visibility to just three meters.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't be in such a messy situation!

Shen Changxi didn't hesitate, quickly nodding: "Alright, I'll cover you!"

"Whoosh~!"

Before she could finish speaking, a petite figure, wielding three giant hammers the size of heads, charged forward.

Shen Changxi hesitated for a moment, then gracefully stepped forward as well.

"Jiang Ye, it's up to you now." Liu Wanxiao gritted his teeth, charging forward as well.

Given the current circumstances, he could only continue placing his trust in Jiang Ye!

"Huff." Jiang Ye watched the three charge straight ahead, took a deep breath, and without further hesitation.

"Whoosh~!"

He turned into a bolt of lightning, darting forward under the trio's cover.

Ten meters.

Twenty meters.

Thirty meters.

Fifty meters.

Seventy meters.

"That's about right." Jiang Ye's eyes turned fierce suddenly.

He gripped his spear, suddenly launching a strike in a specific direction.

"Boom!" The spear in his hand burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

Tens of thousands of strands of Star Energy were unleashed, the infinite resplendence of spear light coalescing into a faint red Great Sun, shooting forth.

'Great Sun Spear Technique Form Eighteen — Great Sun Piercing Clouds.'

This move was one of the few long-range attacks in the Great Sun Spear Technique and an important combo for the second Ultimate Technique 'Proud Sun Across the Sky.'

Not only incredibly powerful.

Its range astonishingly exceeded fifty meters.

"Boom!" In an instant, a pale red light wheel pierced through, like the Great Sun piercing clouds, through the mist.

[Void Seeking Enemy: Distance over ten meters, long-range hit rate increases by 100%, damage increases by 1%-100%, the greater the distance, the higher the damage, with a 0.1% chance to cast the target into 'Void Imprisonment' status.]

100% hit rate!

"Boom!!"

In just a flash, a violent roar came from fifty meters away, accompanied by a cry of agony.

"Damn! Is this real?!" Liu Wanxiao was stunned.

From a fifty-meter distance in the mist, Jiang Ye struck the enemy down in one hit?

How was this even possible, did he activate some kind of lock-on hack!?

Jiang Ye didn't have time to explain, altering his spear technique for another 'Great Sun Piercing Clouds' strike in another direction.

"Great Sun Piercing Clouds, just a regular spear technique." Jiang Ye thought: "Though its power is far from the Ultimate Technique, under boost of damage, it's enough to threaten a Peak of First Break."

"More importantly, it can be used indefinitely!"

An ultimate move, once used, takes a lot of stamina and needs a while to recover.

But regular techniques have no such concerns.

At this moment, the thick mist became Jiang Ye's best cover instead.

Because the Divine Concealment Organization could never imagine Jiang Ye could easily hit them with 'blind sniping' alone.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In just a few seconds, Jiang Ye struck down over twenty people in a row.

The laser beams shooting at them drastically reduced immediately.

"This guy." Even Shen Changxi was somewhat shocked: "How did he manage this?"

Is it really some kind of cheat?

Yun Qing'Er looked at Jiang Ye, speechless.

Why would they even need to cover him? He could just blindly strike and take them out!

...

"What's going on here?" Chen Yuntian asked, puzzled: "Jiang Ye hasn't awakened his Martial Arts Will Perception, how is he hitting accurately from fifty meters away?"

Zhu Honglie was starting to sweat.

My disciple!

If you're hacking, at least keep it subtle.

How am I supposed to explain this to others?

"Probably just good luck..." Zhu Honglie chuckled, it was the only explanation he could offer.

"This kid is indeed a bit odd." Zhu Honglie pondered internally: "Could it be that after his Martial Bone's second awakening, he actually also awakened Martial Arts Will Perception?"

After thinking it over, that seemed the only explanation.

But whatever the reason, they'll have to ask after the mission is over.

Those guys." Chen Yuntian murmured, unsure: "Jiang Ye hasn't developed Martial Arts Will Perception, so how could he hit his targets shot after shot from fifty meters away?"

"My disciple..."

"Even if you're cheating, you should be more discreet."

"This kid really is something else." Zhu Honglie thought.

"But why is he like this? Could it be that after his Martial Bone awakened for the second time, he also awakened Martial Arts Will Perception?"

That's the only explanation that seemed to fit.

But the real reason could only be uncovered after the mission ended.

"Those guys, it seems like a confrontation is imminent." Chen Yuntian said, both surprised and uncertain:

The decisive battle is upon us!"

As he finished speaking.

The projection screen suddenly exploded with an incredibly terrifying Martial Arts Qi Spirit.

The showdown begins!
