Jack Clark walked over and greeted everyone first, then looked at Freya Louise and asked curiously, “Why haven’t you come to school these days?”
The girl blinked her eyes and whispered, “My aunt took me for special training.
She said 1 was useless because 1 brought so many good things but still got hurt.”
To this, Jack could only show concern and ask, “…Is it hard?”
“Not really. It’s mainly about learning how to use some special equipment, and by the way, she helped me improve my weapon sniper rifle.”
“By the way, Jack, the cleaning mission and precautions for this time have been announced. They are on the big screen at the back. Take a look.”
“Okay.”
Jack looked at the notice wall behind him where the big screen was filled with various rules and introductions.
This cleaning mission was to start on the fifth day of the year, targeting all deep mountain old forests across the country.
Mist River, which was responsible for a section between two intersecting mountain ranges, used three small towns near the mountain ranges as mission distribution points.
At the same time, to make it more convenient, students participating in the cleaning mission could apply to rent a vehicle to drive there and load the Mutated Beast corpses.
However, applying for a vehicle required a driver’s license from the school, and only those who could drive safely and skillfully were allowed to do so.
After all, this was not the chaotic Koroya where people could drive recklessly with cars.
Besides, there were various restrictions such as not hurting ordinary people or damaging public and private properties while hunting the mutated beasts.
There were also limitations on the tasks that could be taken. Freshmen of First
Layer Heaven could only take Level 1 Mutated Beast tasks, Second Layer Heaven could take Level 2 and below, and so on.
If the target mutated beast was a group type, teams could be formed.
Rewards for task completion were based on the number and level of mutated beasts killed. Level 1 mutated beasts were worth 2 contribution points, Level 2 were worth 6 points, and Level 3 were worth 18 points.
This contribution reward points were one-tenth lower than what Jack and the others got from killing unique beasts in Koroya.
The reason given by the school was that each mission required accurate information, and the deducted tenth of the contribution was used to pay for pros’ investigation fees and expenses.
At the same time, students who killed mutated beasts could also choose to convert their rewards into money, with a price of 80% of the market value. It would earn them a lot more compared to contribution points.
Of course, under normal conditions, no student would exchange it for money, as contribution points were more valuable.
At this point, Justin Welan and others walked over, laughing, “Jack, you don’t need to look at it. These novice tasks have no difficulty for us.”
Zac Lyons said casually, “Justin is right. For us geniuses, these tasks are just a waste of time.”
White Veil crossed his arms and nodded, “That’s right, these low-level mutated beasts are just one-sword kills, no pressure at all.”
Their relaxed expressions and disdainful tone completely ignored the mutated beasts, which was in stark contrast to the worried and serious expressions of the students around them who frequently glanced over, showing a mix of envy and speechlessness.
Of course, if they were at the Third Layer Heaven, would they need to worry?
Jack was speechless, “…don’t pretend here, you’re all just at the Third Layer
Heaven. You’re not advanced cultivators of the Fourth Layer Heaven.”
“And don’t be careless. Remember that level doesn’t represent combat power. Some low-level mutated beasts have special abilities, and their threat level may be even stronger than some Level 3 Unique Beasts.”
As Jack spoke, Marcus Lee stepped back a bit, distancing himself from Justin and the others, as if to say, don’t include him in this.
Cough,cough!
Justin coughed twice and hurriedly said, “We know all that, we’re just joking around.” After saying that, all three of them had a sly and proud expression on their faces.
Jack and Freya Louise exchanged glances, shook their heads, and ignored these idiots.
At this point, Crystal Leinster suddenly said, “Jack, Matt Watkins, Justin Welan, and Marcus Lee, we’ve decided to team up and apply for the Alien Beast Battlefield on the third day of the new year.”
“…The third day of the new year, are you not participating in the cleaning mission?” Jack was surprised and looked at Zac Lyons, who had just been laughing and teasing that ordinary mutated beasts were too weak.
“Don’t look at me like that.” Zac Lyons shrugged, “You’re the one who’s going to break through the late stages of Third Layer Heaven quietly, and you’re such a tough and freakish combatant.”
“If we don’t try harder, we might not even be able to see your back in a couple of years.”
Justin also had a sad face, “Yeah, I didn’t really want to go, but 1 can’t help it,
Jack, you’re too monstrous. It’s so much pressure to be your brother.”
All of them were geniuses with a sense of arrogance.
Two months had passed since Jack had overtaken them, becoming a powerful and exaggerated fighter. In such a situation, no one would admit defeat and would want to strive harder and push forward even more.
However, they weren’t really impulsive, choosing to apply half a month later and using this time to consolidate their cultivation.
…So it’s my fault for improving too fast? For a moment, Jack didn’t know what to say.
Crystal Leinster looked at Jack and calmly said, “Jack, don’t think too much. It’s not because of you that we decided to apply for the Alien Beast Battlefield.”
“Just yesterday, Jane Aiken, Howard Lee and several other students applied early for the Alien Beast Battlefield, even without planning to celebrate the New Year.”
“This is the attitude that our generation of cultivators should have, with a brave and aggressive mentality, treading on thin ice, never stopping and pushing forward to overcome all obstacles and reach the peak of True Martial.”
Are these young people really that determined and mature?
Looking at their serious expressions, Jack couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, “…I may not be able to go with you. There are some things I haven’t prepared yet.”
He meant that he hadn’t confirmed the mutated beast for his avatar’s fourth evolution yet. However, Justin and the others thought it was about the advanced skill.
They knew that Jack was planning to make a killing in the cleaning mission to earn enough contribution points to exchange for Dragon Elephant Overlord Body, and even though they thought so, they were right.
So Crystal Leinster and the others just nodded regretfully, not trying to persuade him to join.
After the discussion on this topic, everyone dispersed.
Most of them went to take their driving tests, as the school was efficient in handling matters. They only needed to scan the traffic rules and then drive skillfully around the test site to pass.
In the afternoon, Jack came to the thirty-third-floor reading room, flipped through it, and took out the second volume of the Low-Level Mutated Beast Encyclopedia.As Jack sat down opposite her, the girl looked up slightly and noticed the hesitant expression on Jack’s face. She smiled faintly and said, “Are you a bit confused?”
Jack nodded, “A little, I’m surprised you didn’t go with them this time.”
Freya Louise was not among those who left with Crystal Leinster and others on a team after the new year.
Just when Jack thought Freya would give a reason, the girl suddenly said, “Because I’m afraid that you’ll be lonely all by yourself, so 1 decided to stay and accompany you.”
…Jack was momentarily taken aback.
Whoosh!
The girl burst out laughing and said playfully, “I’m just kidding. Mainly, my aunt has a training plan for me, and some things are not ready yet.”
“But I’ll also participate in the cleaning mission. Shall we team up then?”
Teased, Jack said unhappily, “We can team up, but I’m worried that you won’t be able to keep up with me.”
“That’s fine, you can be the main force, and 1 will assist. Just give me one-fifth of the contribution points we earn,” the girl didn’t seem to care much.
“This is what you said.”
“Yes, what I said.”
After a playful chat, the girl lowered her head and immersed herself in the tranquility of reading the scriptures. Jack smiled and turned the pages of the newly-bound book.
At the moment, he had already taken an interest in the abilities of two Level 2 Mutated Beasts.
But he felt that they were not strong enough.
At the same time, seemingly reading, Jack, focused most of his attention on the Sword Armor Flame Beast.
Below the eerily dark and silent deep-sea rift, golden magma churned. The twelve-meter-long Sword Armor Flame Beast, resembling a black demon dragon, slowly closed its mouth.
A faint disappointment flashed in its cold, pale gold vertical pupils.
Two days had passed, and the changes in the beast after consuming a large amount of fiery substances were not insignificant.
Its internal temperature had increased from 100 to 150 Celsius, and faint flames flickered between the feathered horns on both sides, making it look even more magnificent and majestic.
As for its expectation of converting the lava’s heat energy into biological energy, it was indeed possible, but the conversion rate was too slow.
After two days, the Sword Armor Flame Beast had only grown one centimeter, and its evolution value had increased by 2 points—a far cry from hunting mutated creatures.
However, this ability was not entirely useless; maybe once its talent grew stronger, it might be able to hibernate and grow stronger within the magma.
Contemplating, the Sword Armor Flame Beast swayed its body, tail flicking as it stirred up the rolling seawater and swam towards the rift above, traversing more than 200 meters in the blink of an eye.
Just as it emerged from the seabed rift, the Sword Armor Flame Beast suddenly stopped, its four claws landed on the ground, and its eyes coldly stared ahead.
From the darkness, a red mutated fish emerged—around 21 meters in length, elliptical in shape, and covered in blue velvet-like fringe.
The blue fringe on the mutated fish emitted an astonishing chill, freezing the surrounding seawater into a thin layer of white ice as they passed. It resembled snowflakes underwater.
As they were close to the seabed rift, the water temperature was around tens of degrees Celsius. Thus, the thin layer of ice would constantly appear and fade, creating a fascinating scene.
Instead of densely packed sharp teeth, the mutated fish’s mouth sported four fanged teeth more than two meters long, seemingly capable of biting through anything.
Clearly, the mutated fish had been waiting for the Sword Armor Flame Beast to emerge, and it had been very patient.
Looking at the icy blue fringe on the mutated fish, the Sword Armor Flame Beast’s eyes grew colder. If it were before, it might have been somewhat intimidated by this type of icy energy, but now…
Whoosh! A surge of hot Qi blood erupted from the Sword Armor Flame Beast, shaking the seawater around it. Its entire body emitted a red glow, and its limbs’ muscles swelled up dramatically.
Boom! The hard rock beneath the Sword Armor Flame Beast shattered, creating cracks that spread out to a distance of more than ten meters.
Under the impact, the Sword Armor Flame Beast shot forward like a black beam of light. Due to its extremely fast speed, a white shockwave even appeared around it, emitting a piercing howl.
In an instant, the Sword Armor Flame Beast appeared in front of the mutated beast and extended its double claws, disregarding the floating blue fringe as it slammed down with a roar.
Boom!
Amidst the terrifying impact, the seawater exploded as the mutated fish’s five-meter-thick ice layer instantly formed and shattered. The massive fish’s body was hit by a tremendous force, sending it flying a hundred meters away and kicking up a cloud of sediment.
Despite the fish’s ice layer shield, nearly half of its body was still torn apart under the impact, with ice-blue blood and flesh debris spreading everywhere.
However, as a mutated creature, its vitality was strong.
The blue, velvet-clad mutated fish’s body was suddenly enveloped in a dazzling blue light, and in an instant, a terrifying chill burst forth into a blue halo.
Crack! Crack!
In the blink of an eye, a 20-meter radius was covered in a layer of solid blue ice, including the Sword Armor Flame Beast, which had charged at it again, and the mutated fish itself.
This indiscriminate ice-surface ability was powerful, and prey had no chance of escaping. Every time, it would kill its prey by freezing them to death and feasting on them slowly.
But today… within the blue ice, the Sword Armor Flame Beast’s body shimmered with a red glow, and the scorching temperature emitted by its body blocked the incoming cold energy from reaching it.
At the same time, its entire body swelled with muscles, and a terrifying power burst forth.
Roar!
With the Sword Armor Flame Beast’s roar, it struggled, and cracks immediately snaked through the surrounding ice. Subsequently, it shattered the ice with a loud bang, along with the velvet – on the mutated fish’s body.
In the midst of the shattered ice fragments, the black and red alien beast, standing upright like a human, exuded a terrifying aura, appearing extremely fierce..

Jack smiled and turned the pages of the newly-bound book.At the moment, he had already taken an interest in the abilities of two Level 2 Mutated Beasts.But he felt that they were not strong enough.At the same time, seemingly reading, Jack, focused most of his attention on the Sword Armor Flame Beast.Below the eerily dark and silent deep-sea rift, golden magma churned. The twelve-meter-long Sword Armor Flame Beast, resembling a black demon dragon, slowly closed its mouth.A faint disappointment flashed in its cold, pale gold vertical pupils.Two days had passed, and the changes in the beast after consuming a large amount of fiery substances were not insignificant.Its internal temperature had increased from 100 to 150 Celsius, and faint flames flickered between the feathered horns on both sides, making it look even more magnificent and majestic.As for its expectation of converting the lava's heat energy into biological energy, it was indeed possible, but the conversion rate was too slow.After two days, the Sword Armor Flame Beast had only grown one centimeter, and its evolution value had increased by 2 pointsa far cry from hunting mutated creatures.However, this ability was not entirely useless; maybe once its talent grew stronger, it might be able to hibernate and grow stronger within the magma.Contemplating, the Sword Armor Flame Beast swayed its body, tail flicking as it stirred up the rolling seawater and swam towards the rift above, traversing more than 200 meters in the blink of an eye.Just as it emerged from the seabed rift, the Sword Armor Flame Beast suddenly stopped, its four claws landed on the ground, and its eyes coldly stared ahead.From the darkness, a red mutated fish emergedaround 21 meters in length, elliptical in shape, and covered in blue velvet-like fringe.The blue fringe on the mutated fish emitted an astonishing chill, freezing the surrounding seawater into a thin layer of white ice as they passed. It resembled snowflakes underwater.As they were close to the seabed rift, the water temperature was around tens of degrees Celsius. Thus, the thin layer of ice would constantly appear and fade, creating a fascinating scene.Instead of densely packed sharp teeth, the mutated fish's mouth sported four fanged teeth more than two meters long, seemingly capable of biting through anything.Clearly, the mutated fish had been waiting for the Sword Armor Flame Beast to emerge, and it had been very patient.Looking at the icy blue fringe on the mutated fish, the Sword Armor Flame Beast's eyes grew colder. If it were before, it might have been somewhat intimidated by this type of icy energy, but nowWhoosh! A surge of hot Qi blood erupted from the Sword Armor Flame Beast, shaking the seawater around it. Its entire body emitted a red glow, and its limbs' muscles swelled up dramatically.Boom! The hard rock beneath the Sword Armor Flame Beast shattered, creating cracks that spread out to a distance of more than ten meters.Under the impact, the Sword Armor Flame Beast shot forward like a black beam of light. Due to its extremely fast speed, a white shockwave even appeared around it, emitting a piercing howl.In an instant, the Sword Armor Flame Beast appeared in front of the mutated beast and extended its double claws, disregarding the floating blue fringe as it slammed down with a roar.Boom!Amidst the terrifying impact, the seawater exploded as the mutated fish's five-meter-thick ice layer instantly formed and shattered. The massive fish's body was hit by a tremendous force, sending it flying a hundred meters away and kicking up a cloud of sediment.Despite the fish's ice layer shield, nearly half of its body was still torn apart under the impact, with ice-blue blood and flesh debris spreading everywhere.However, as a mutated creature, its vitality was strong.The blue, velvet-clad mutated fish's body was suddenly enveloped in a dazzling blue light, and in an instant, a terrifying chill burst forth into a blue halo.Crack! Crack!In the blink of an eye, a 20-meter radius was covered in a layer of solid blue ice, including the Sword Armor Flame Beast, which had charged at it again, and the mutated fish itself.This indiscriminate ice-surface ability was powerful, and prey had no chance of escaping. Every time, it would kill its prey by freezing them to death and feasting on them slowly.But today within the blue ice, the Sword Armor Flame Beast's body shimmered with a red glow, and the scorching temperature emitted by its body blocked the incoming cold energy from reaching it.At the same time, its entire body swelled with muscles, and a terrifying power burst forth.Roar!With the Sword Armor Flame Beast's roar, it struggled, and cracks immediately snaked through the surrounding ice. Subsequently, it shattered the ice with a loud bang, along with the velvet on the mutated fish's body.In the midst of the shattered ice fragments, the black and red alien beast, standing upright like a human, exuded a terrifying aura, appearing extremely fierce..
