144: Chapter 144 The Students' Mission: Suppressing the Cult

As Chi Anlin rushed to the classroom, Mo Yu also hurried out, several enticing lipstick marks still visible on his face.

Halfway there, he spotted Chen Yue running on the ground and proactively had his mount fly down.

"I didn't expect you to sleep in too. You're going to be late, right? Come up, I'll give you a lift."

Sensing the presence above her, Chen Yue looked up at Mo Yu. Hearing his words, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before hurriedly refusing, "No need, no need..."

"Don't be so polite, just treat me to a meal next time." Mo Yu coughed lightly. The Lightning Bird immediately understood his meaning; with a gentle sweep of its wing, it scooped Chen Yue directly onto its back.

Then, ignoring Chen Yue's protests, he had the Lightning Bird continue toward the classroom.

In the sky, flying demonic beasts flew toward the classroom one after another, creating a truly spectacular scene.

In the teaching area, Chi Anlin leaped down from the Ice Spirit Gryphon and stored it back into his beast taming pouch.

Students entered the classroom one by one. Chi Anlin found a remote spot and sat down. A moment later, Ji Hongfei walked into the classroom expressionlessly. Seeing Chi Anlin, he hesitated for a bit but eventually sat right next to him.

Dan Yunyao walked in through the door fuming. Ji Hongfei, that straight-laced guy, had ignored her hints so many times; he just wouldn't come to pick her up.

After sitting down next to Ji Hongfei, Dan Yunyao greeted Chi Anlin and then began to complain about Ji Hongfei.

Soon after, Chi Anlin saw Mo Yu and Chen Yue walking in through the door, instantly giving him the visual sense of a playboy scion dating a well-behaved girl from a poor family.

Although Chen Yue kept her distance from Mo Yu, Chi Anlin knew that with Mo Yu's methods, Chen Yue would sooner or later become his prize.

Being young is great. In his past life, Chi Anlin had also thought about having a passionate romance after entering university—walking hand-in-hand on the sports field at dusk, eating together in the cafeteria, using his girlfriend's scholarship to pay for his course retake fees...

But looking at it now, how could dating be as satisfying as cultivation! Women would only slow his pace.

After parting with Chen Yue, Mo Yu sat down on Chi Anlin's other side.

As soon as he sat down, Mo Yu began chatting enthusiastically with Chi Anlin.

"Brother Chi, this mission should have a little something to do with you."

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Chi Anlin was somewhat confused.

"Brother Chi, you were once hunted by a cult during the college entrance exam. This time, the school found that cult's nest and is preparing to surround and suppress them.

Our task is to deal with some small fry. However, while the school is wiping out the main camp, we have to rely on our own strength to find the auxiliary cult camps."

Chi Anlin nodded, giving Mo Yu a somewhat meaningful look.

Although Mo Yu seemed like a playboy on the surface—even coming to school today without wiping the lipstick marks off his face—many of the things he did were somewhat inconsistent with his personality.

Who would investigate his assassination attempt for no reason? He even knew the backgrounds of most of the geniuses in the school clearly.

"Then I'll have to put in some serious effort this time. I nearly died at the hands of those cultists before."

Hearing Chi Anlin's words, a faint light flickered in Ji Hongfei's eyes, and a surge of battle intent inexplicably emerged from him.

This sudden battle intent left both Chi Anlin and Mo Yu a bit dazed, momentarily unsure of what to say.

At that moment, the White Spirit King appeared on the podium again. After a light cough, the classroom immediately fell silent.

"This mission is everyone's first since the start of the term. This mission will use a point system, divided into team points and individual points.

The mission squads are divided into four, with each class monitor serving as the captain. I hope everyone will follow their captain's commands well!"

The White Spirit King looked at the four class monitors. These few seemed quite harmonious, unlike the War Body students of previous years—like Chi Xueyue's year, where they almost beat each other to a pulp.

"We have discovered traces of the Feather Cult in Lin Province. The mission requirement is to slay these cultists. As you all know, these cults are a great harm to society, so there is no need to be merciful; just treat them as alien races.

The team score determines the amount of resources each class receives, while individual points depend on your performance in combat and reconnaissance.

Rest assured, in this mission, there will be no cultivators whose strength greatly exceeds yours, and the Water Moon King will also be protecting you from the shadows.

However, take note: if you are killed by a lower-realm cultivator, the Water Moon King will not intervene. So, don't think you can act recklessly just because a King is present. Don't let it be that because of one mission, you end up dying at the hands of a cult before you could contribute to the Otherworld."

After the White Spirit King finished speaking, he left the scene, letting the other instructors come up to prepare to lead the students to Lin City.

The students discussed animatedly, some with excitement and others with worry.

"People could actually die in this mission! No way!"

"The White Spirit King wouldn't joke about this. I didn't expect the Military University to be so strict. Aren't we geniuses? If we accidentally die, the human race will lose several geniuses!"

"What? Are you scared? If you're so cowardly, why didn't you cultivate a support profession? Why become a body cultivator?"

"I'm just worried..."

Within the War Body squad, Mo Yu said, "Brother Chi, we are opponents in this mission, so we won't be able to stay together then."

Although he didn't care much about these resources, he represented a class after all, so he had to put in some effort.

Chi Anlin nodded. With the Water Moon King following this time, he wouldn't use the ants to help him find people; for that, relying on Xiao Xing would be enough.

Vaguely, Chi Anlin felt a bit excited. Was this the legendary university team-building activity?

After completing the mission, he could also take a stroll in the Lesser Beast Realm. He heard that the Blood Devouring King had recently found a very powerful ruin and was preparing to give him a surprise.

Soon, the instructors led the large group out. They took a plane to Lin Province. This operation was secret and would not alert the enemy.

As for whether over a thousand students entering Lin Province would be discovered? A city had so many cultivators that these thousand or so people entering wouldn't even make a splash.

To ensure the secrecy of the mission, each group would stay in different areas.

To allow the students to complete this mission successfully, everyone was even given a Disguise Pill.

Mo Yu transformed himself into a handsome guy somewhat similar to his original self, while Chi Anlin disguised himself as a middle-aged man with ordinary features—the kind that would disappear once dropped into a crowd.

With one hour left before the mission began, everyone started discussing tactics in their respective group chats.

Since the students of the Military University were all geniuses and inherently very proud, everyone wanted to work alone.

Chi Anlin sighed, feeling a bit of a headache. The students in the chat group were exceptionally excited, as if each of them could wipe out a cult branch by themselves.

It seemed that in this mission, a few people would definitely die.
