On his way home, Wang Zheng kept making plans for his future.

He had previously asked Dang Liantao indirectly whether there was a processing base for exotic beasts within the Jingnan Military Region.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wang Zheng tentatively asked if he could intern there for a period of time, without pay.

However, Wang Zheng quickly rejected the idea himself.

Because many of the exotic beasts within the Jingnan Military Region do not require slaughter.

The live alien beasts transported to the Jingnan Military Region were mostly kept in captivity, while the rest, with sufficient attack power, were used as expendable resources for combat training purposes for new recruits.

So when he learned that the so-called processing here referred to a highly confidential special treatment of the exotic beast meat, rather than slaughter, Wang Zheng immediately dismissed the idea.

He didn't want to be stuck here doing these unskilled jobs for the rest of his life, and he had no way to kill strange beasts to obtain spiritual energy and increase his meditation progress.

When he got home, Li Liang immediately took out two spiritual crystals and gave them to Wang Zheng.

Although obtaining four spiritual energy crystals in one day was still something to be happy about, Wang Zheng's enthusiasm waned when he thought about the massive spiritual energy required to upgrade his attributes, awaken new abilities, upgrade his special powers, and especially upgrade his cultivation techniques.

Moreover, obtaining spiritual crystals is not easy, as evidenced by the fact that he exchanged them from the military region.

Looking at the spiritual energy value on his data panel, Wang Zheng suddenly remembered the extra gains he had made from killing those rats last time. So he tentatively asked Li Liang and Wang Shengrong if they could send it to the battlefield for him.

After all, even killing the lowest-level alien beasts is much faster than getting a single spirit crystal every ten days or half a month.

Moreover, Wang Zheng believed that his strength was definitely greater than that of the young soldiers who had just finished training and were sent to the battlefield.

Therefore, he also has this confidence.

However, Wang Zheng's words greatly upset his parents.

They knew that Wang Zheng had gone on two missions with the military region, and even the details of Wang Zheng's performance were relayed to them by Gu Min.

But they just couldn't understand why their son, who was attending a good university, would suddenly say he wanted to go to the battlefield.

In their view, no matter how outstanding Wang Zheng was, he could not compare to the soldiers who had actually fought on the battlefield.

Moreover, they themselves were soldiers who had retired from the front lines, so they naturally knew the cruelty of the battlefield.

Dense jungles, deserts, grasslands, wilderness.

The weather is strange, and strange beasts are everywhere. If you're unlucky enough to encounter a high-level beast, even escaping is a luxury.

People usually avoid the battlefield of alien beasts like the plague, but their own son is eager to go on the adventure.

Although they knew that Wang Zheng could quickly increase the materialization progress of his visualizations by killing alien beasts, they also knew that Wang Zheng could quickly increase the upper limit of spiritual energy.

However, the problem is that his increased spiritual energy limit does not lead to an improvement in his physical attributes.

Wang Zheng previously stated that he could improve his five-dimensional attributes by increasing his spiritual energy limit and through training. In fact, this was indeed the case, except for actively adding points.

However, in their view, Wang Zheng has no shortage of resources. He is still in university and can even occasionally participate in targeted missions with the military region. He can steadily improve his abilities.

There's absolutely no need to be in such a hurry.

As for Wang Zheng himself, he felt a sense of urgency after receiving news of the Heavenly Demon. He felt that simply going to university and cultivating in a routine manner would be a waste of his potential for improvement.

However, after receiving his parents' objections, Wang Zheng did not persist and went back to sleep on his own.

Back in his room, Wang Zheng looked at his data panel and saw that his spiritual energy had increased by more than 30 points today because Dang Liantao had treated him to a meal, reaching the upper limit of 2186 points.

He took out the Heavenly Demon Crystal he had acquired long ago, then quickly sat down cross-legged and began to absorb it.

He had a premonition, which even made him doubt his own identity.

As the spiritual energy value in the data panel continued to increase, Wang Zheng seemed to sense that this time was different from the past. He watched as his spiritual energy had increased by more than 200 points and was still rising rapidly like a marquee.

Wang Zheng's consciousness began to blur. In the haze, he seemed to see a pitch-black space with the vast universe as the background. A group of black figures were gathered in a circle, seemingly planning something.

The distance between Wang Zheng and the group of shadowy figures seemed very close, because Wang Zheng could hear the slight hissing sounds of the shadowy figures talking to each other.

But they also seemed very far apart, because in Wang Zheng's eyes, those shadows were very tiny dots, and there were countless stars between them.

Although he didn't know why he could see so far away.

After an unknown amount of time, one of them seemed to notice Wang Zheng's presence and turned to look at him.

It was a man dressed in a long black robe, whose face was obscured. He seemed to be smiling, but his blood-red eyes left a particularly deep impression on Wang Zheng.

That one glance was enough to make Wang Zheng feel a soul-wrenching pain; his mind was filled with nothing but those blood-red eyes.

Then, everything spun around and vanished into nothingness.

Wang Zheng was panting heavily, realizing that he was drenched in sweat and surrounded by countless red wisps of smoke, but they did not materialize into the shape of a ferocious beast.

When he opened his eyes, all the countless red mists disappeared into his body.

Then Wang Zheng looked at his data panel and was stunned.

Because it clearly shows:

Spiritual energy value: 3230/3230.
