Infinite Professions

On a field, everyone was walking, as if they were out for a leisurely outing with an air of relaxation.

It was Shen Hex and his group.

The Special Recruitment Competition was nearing its end, and the students who had made it this far had gained plenty, accumulating many points and gathering numerous spoils of war.

Their team was no exception. Although Shen Hex had intentions of "raising pigs," never pursuing opponents, not everyone could escape from him.

Some had too low a cultivation, their strength was inadequate, unable to endure even a single strike from him, leaving them no chance to escape and directly becoming points and spoils for their team.

Although Shen Hex was the main contributor, Teng Manyun and others also had gains, after all, others had their teams, where they faced off—soldier against soldier, general against general, encountering opponents under Shen Hex’s protection to achieve victory and gather points.

It seemed a bit like "power leveling."

But that’s the intended result.

One man attains enlightenment, and even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven; this concerns future benefits and development, so why not take advantage of strong support instead of suffering through hardship? Now is not the time for haughty independence.

Whatever is not forbidden is allowed. Since the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm had no restriction against teaming up, everyone naturally wouldn’t be polite. If they could group up, they would group up; if they could overpower with numbers, they would. The goal was to earn as many points as possible.

After all, there are four essentials in cultivation: Method, Wealth, Companions, and Land!

A single tree cannot support it alone; no matter how strong one person is, they cannot cover all sides or handle everything personally, needing to form a strong, cohesive team to navigate various situations properly.

The Martial Mansion tacitly allowed such behavior and even encouraged this kind of development.

...

"Whoosh!!"

Suddenly, a sword light shot out, startling the crowd.

Shen Hex’s expression did not change; he raised his hand to receive, and the sword light dispersed, leaving only a scroll.

"What is this...?"

Zhong Qin and others looked curiously.

Without saying much, Shen Hex directly opened the scroll, revealing eight words forming a battle invitation.

"Mohe Corridor, awaiting you!"

"Is this... a challenge letter?"

Reading the content, everyone looked at each other; Zhong Qin even spoke up: "Could this be a trap?"

"Most likely."

Shen Hex smiled, unconcerned: "But it’s worth going."

"..."

"..."

"..."

This statement left everyone silent.

Even though they were teammates, Shen Hex’s strength was somewhat overwhelming.

Too formidable!

Previously, in the battle of Tianbei, they thought he had reached his limit breaking through while killing an Evil God’s Apostle on the road.

Unexpectedly, less than two years after the battle, he had grown powerful enough to slaughter Tier Seven like pigs and dogs.

These Tier Seven were not ordinary but the talented recruits of Xingyi Martial Mansion, the future stars of different planets and forces.

How did he achieve such progress?

Or has he been holding back all along?

No one knew; mystery surrounded him.

Especially now, knowingly walking into a trap, such "high skill, great courage" made him seem even more fathomless to all.

Thus...

Mohe Corridor!

Though named Mohe, there’s actually only wasteland, no river; using a dried-up huge riverbed as a corridor, spanning through the desolate desert with thousands of miles of no grass, only the Scorching Sun hanging high creating an extinguishing scene.

This terrain was specifically arranged.

Using the environment to defeat opponents was within the competition rules and could even earn bonus points.

The Martial Mansion encouraged this aspect, even creating various environments in the Secret Realm for people to utilize.

Now, three people were waiting on the riverbed.

Delia, Fengming Jun, Xiong Canghai.

All three had Tier Seven cultivation.

In the surroundings, on the high embankment, stood several people, forming an encirclement.

"Will he come?"

"This place is obviously a trap."

"Mohe Corridor’s unique terrain, with the sun’s power strongest, greatly benefits Fengming Jun’s Nirvana Undying Body."

"Delia, being a Mecha Master, can leverage Spirit Crystal Energy for mecha combat even without invoking the power of heaven and earth."

"Xiong Canghai is slightly less proficient, but he does have Divine Intent Cultivation, even without invoking primordial qi, he can still fight well given his strong foundation."

"This person’s cultivation, if genuine, is really Tier Six, then his combat strength must rely on external support, leveraging the Great Trend of Heaven and Earth for such feats."

"Mohe’s terrain greatly weakens him!"

"Coupled with the means prepared for him by Long Jianfei and others..."

"Humph, sounds plausible, but what if he doesn’t come?"

"He won’t; this person is extremely arrogant, not taking us seriously, so why fear not coming now?"

"If he doesn’t come, wouldn’t all previous arrogance be a joke?"

Everyone exchanged glances and secret words.

Suddenly...

"Whoosh!!!"

The wind suddenly rose, clouds changed abruptly.

From the horizon, a figure emerged, stepping deliberately, not hurriedly yet closing distances instantly.

In a blur, the person was already here, standing firm, steady in stance, exuding calmness, with an aura like an majestic mountain, vast like the sea.

Strong!!!

With the demeanor of a Grandmaster, strength radiating from inside out, building phenomena.

"What an impressive appearance!"

"He’s actually here!"

"Knowing there are tigers on the mountain, walking towards them anyway!"

"Is it confidence or arrogance?"

"Who would have thought Xingyi Martial Mansion could attract such a figure?"

"Such a man... haha!"

People within focused alertly, outside eyes scanned back and forth.

Such a major setup could not easily deceive; many who were not persuaded by Long Jianfei to jointly confront came.

Though holding their own disdain for teaming up, as defeated generals, they were equally curious about the battle’s outcome, wishing to see Shen Hex’s limit.
