248: Clown Mask

Subsequently, Xu Tian briefly described Chen Du's progress and process over the past month.

Xie Miao, being too busy, currently only knew that Chen Du's Life Strength had reached Rank 14.5 and that he had awakened an additional Mystic Treasure, achieving an astonishing six Mystic Treasures.

"Entrance to the Microscopic 12%?"

"His progress speed is too fast!"

Xie Miao was once again shocked by Chen Du.

Chen Du's Life Strength index was 100 points, which was a perfect talent.

She could understand the rapid progress in Life Strength Rank, but why was his Martial Skill also improving so quickly?

The purpose of arranging Xu Tian to teach him was indeed to help Chen Du improve his Martial Skill level as quickly as possible, but it shouldn't be this fast!

Even if Xu Tian were to Rebirth, he probably couldn't achieve this speed?!

It felt even faster than Gao Zhongwang!

Beside her, Xu Tian looked at Xie Miao's shocked expression, feeling secretly pleased.

Previously, he had been shocked by Chen Du's progress speed every few days; now, using it to shock others felt incredibly satisfying!

"Depart tomorrow at 3 AM."

After a moment of silence, Xie Miao looked at her wristband and said.

Xu Tian nodded. As a Martial Artist, there was no such thing as day not understanding night's darkness; everything revolved around the mission.

Only when Chen Du reached Rank 14.5 could the Sifang Cave mission be activated.

Upon receiving Xu Tian's report, Xie Miao also sent a message to the personnel involved in this mission, including Xu Tian who was present, detailing the time, location, and specific mission content.

Regardless of whether you knew the mission content or not, it would be written in the notification; this was the procedure for a High Martial Civilization.

"Hmm?"

"Hamon is leading the team?"

Xu Tian glanced at his vibrating wristband, asking in confusion.

"Yes, I was originally supposed to lead, but I didn't expect so many things to come up!"

"You know the specific reasons..."

Xie Miao did not continue on this topic and changed the subject:

"I haven't had time to monitor Chen Du's usual progress; you'll need to provide the final report."

"Before the matters in the Fifth Ecological Circle are completely resolved, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the school."

"Hamon's strength is similar to yours, so he's sufficient as a leader. After all, the place you're going this time is the very border of the Big Eye Civilization's territory and isn't considered very dangerous. Two Advanced Aerial Warriors accompanying you is enough."

Xu Tian said nothing upon hearing this. The leader's main responsibility was protection, as after the four entered, someone would still be needed outside for support.

Previously, there was no specific route inside Sifang Cave, so it hadn't been explored.

This time, they had a partial map, but that didn't guarantee safety. Hamon's role was equivalent to a risk mitigation measure.

For example, in the unforeseen event that Xu Tian died inside, Hamon could still bring the remaining three back safely.

Although it was the very border of the Big Eye Civilization, a remote corner, it was still the territory of a Great Civilization. According to regulations, one was not allowed to enter unless they reached Skysoaring Rank!

Subsequently, the two discussed some other matters, and then Xu Tian left... First Ecological Zone, Martial Arts Room No. 1469.

"Gather tomorrow at 3 AM."

"Is this Chen Du really that formidable?"

Fukawa Kujako looked intently at the information on her wristband, muttering to herself.

As the most outstanding generation of the Buchuan clan, Fukawa Kujako was a person who was both confident and hardworking.

In short, Confident-Hardworking!

Although she failed to enter the Qilin Class initially, through her efforts over the past three years, she had proven to many that she was not weaker than those Genius of the Qilin Class!

If nothing unexpected happened, she would be able to advance to the Sky Soaring Warrior team before graduating in her senior year.

Although the 1 Rank from 19 to 20 presented enormous resistance, she had already covered more than half the distance, only 0.4 Rank away from becoming a Sky Soaring Warrior.

"A freshman who isn't even an Advanced Martial Artist actually requires three people—an Advanced Martial Artist, a Sky Soaring Warrior, and even an Advanced Aerial Warrior—to cooperate with him!"

"Could he be Principal Pang's illegitimate son?"

Fukawa Kujako frowned slightly, muttering to herself.

There was a reason for her thoughts. Although Chen Du was the champion of this year's Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition, she heard there seemed to be some shady dealings this year!

Chen Du was not the strongest freshman of this year's cohort at all!

Fukawa Kujako was usually busy with training, so she naturally wouldn't watch the freshmen's competition.

At that time, her mind was entirely focused on becoming an outstanding graduate of Qilin Martial Arts University.

Especially as a student from a regular class, this honor was extremely important to her.

That yearning to surpass the Genius of the Qilin Class was like a whip, constantly urging her on every day!

She learned about Chen Du's information by going to the comment section below the Three-School Joint Martial Arts Competition live replay after finding out his name.

Students' permissions were very limited; let alone her being in a regular class, even those in the Qilin Class were not qualified to view other students' information.

All those messages were anonymous, but their authenticity was high. After all, it was one of the three prestigious universities, and instances of students deliberately spreading rumors were rare.

"What does it mean to 'roughly explore the Medium Danger Zone with the Low-Risk Zone as the core'?"

Fukawa Kujako looked at her mission information, dissatisfied.

"Hmph! If I can create greater value than Chen Du, why would the High Martial Civilization blame me?"

"My Life Strength Rank is 19.6, infinitely close to the limit of the Medium Danger Zone. According to the rules of Sifang Cave, I can completely undertake deeper exploration!"

"I will definitely prove to everyone that my value is more than this!"

Fukawa Kujako finished speaking and looked up at the metal ceiling above.

Under the intense white light, her eyes, filled with an immense desire for recognition, were reflected on the metal ceiling!

...October 6th, 3:00 AM.

At the entrance of Martial Arts Room No. 5.

"Clown mask?"

Chen Du took the red-nosed, white-faced clown mask Xie Miao handed him and asked.

Subsequently, through Xie Miao's explanation, Chen Du understood the ingenious use of this item, as well as Xie Miao's concerns.

As for why the mask was in the shape of a clown, Xie Miao also explained that the Principal had specifically requested it to be so when it was repaired after battle damage.

The reason was that the clown mask was very comical. If one hadn't seen movies from our High Martial Civilization, it would be easy to mistake the wearer for a weakling.

Thereby increasing your win rate.

"If there's nothing else, shall we depart?"

A man with a short, spiky haircut spoke.

Because there were only two strangers, Chen Du quickly became familiar with his new teammates.

This person was named Hamon, the leader of this mission.

Like Xu Tian, Hamon was also an Advanced Aerial Warrior, nearly 2.5 meters tall, considered a very tall male in High Martial Civilization.

The other was a senior student named Fukawa Kujako. Although she was a regular class student, her achievements were no less than those of the Genius in the Qilin Class.

Her height of 1.8 meters was only slightly shorter than Chen Du's, but because girls tend to appear taller, they looked about the same height.

Fukawa Kujako had long, straight black hair, a delicate appearance, and two dimples when she smiled.

Although the other party was quite attractive, Chen Du always felt that the way she looked at him seemed to carry a certain... intensity!

The intensity of competition!

Chen Du didn't know if it was an illusion or something else, and since subsequent tasks didn't require cooperation, he didn't dwell on it.

And so, the five first took a flying vehicle to Border City No. 3.

Then, Xu Tian led Chen Du, Peng Fei led Fukawa Kujako, and Hamon took the lead. The three formed a triangular pattern and flew towards the Big Eye Civilization's territory!
