“`\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan appeared on a densely interwoven, aquatic plant-covered riverbank, immersing his right arm in the icy river water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blood on his arm gradually washed away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This cold river water also stimulated Mu Fan’s brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he returned to a safe area, Dark Breath would remain active, so his brain was racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The impression those two gave him was akin to two cold humanoid weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their techniques were so experienced, and every move was unlike those Star Thieves he had encountered before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t sense that fierce viciousness from those two, but rather a profound indifference to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They regarded human life as nothing more than grass!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to life and death, he would always choose the former.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan could now conclude that these two had a clear target: himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And they were assigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Black, any anomalies?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assassins are very professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They may not have used any communication devices at all.” Black’s message weighed heavily on Mu Fan’s heart, complicating matters further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He feared he had truly become a must-kill target in some people’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there had to be a reason for all this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was imperative to investigate thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, let’s get through the exam first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My left arm is severely injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Help me plan a route.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan got up and began running soundlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After safely bypassing the sentry posts, Mu Fan made his way back to the city, but this time through dark, damp alleyways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing by a waste incineration plant, he stealthily entered and threw his blood-stained clothes in, watching them turn to ashes soon after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from the reclaimed area, he grabbed a freshly washed jacket and a baseball cap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now besides his slightly unusual left arm, Mu Fan looked no different, blending perfectly as an ordinary resident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pressing down his cap, Mu Fan asked quietly, “How much longer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Turn left at the second intersection a kilometer ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third black iron door is the pharmacy’s storeroom; walk there, and I will open it for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five minutes later, Mu Fan emerged with stolen anti-inflammatory medicine, bandages, and a bottle of B-grade Repair Liquid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With these, he could best treat his wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Mu Fan returned like an ordinary hotel guest, the receptionist at the hotel entrance glanced at him with puzzlement and then lost interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clues provided by the police were too vague.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knew who it was?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was exhausted to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The receptionist resolved to endure just five more minutes before going for a good nap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A close brush with danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan had already noticed the abnormality near the hotel earlier, but fortunately, no one seemed to notice him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t look around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve dealt with all the video footage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people won’t find anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest assured.” Black’s calm voice assured him, as it evidently monitored Mu Fan’s every move from surveillance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan nodded slightly, then walked into the Floating Stairs without any anomaly, returning to his room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon closing the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He collapsed heavily onto the bed, finally relaxing his strained nerves, releasing the pain suppressed in his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The absolute calm state from stopping Dark Breath ceased, and the pain perception returned to his senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Burning, tearing, numbness, these sensations alternated on his left arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan carefully removed his jacket, revealing his bloody left arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large chunk of flesh was missing, exposing charred bone textures scorched by high heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank goodness he dodged quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without that instinctive warning, he might have been dead already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pouring the anti-inflammatory medicine and Repair Liquid over his wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew in a sharp breath, then forcibly held back any sound, using his teeth to help tie the bandage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everything was dealt with, Mu Fan lay heavily on the soft bed, staring at the ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow’s exam suddenly seemed grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, the fat brother frowned at Sky Communication, sending his third message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mu Fan, where the hell are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did you disappear!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fat Brother is really worried about you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Silent Fan, say something!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing, the fat brother set the Sky Communication aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, he even attempted logging onto Battle Net, but not a trace of Mu Fan was there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for this guy’s amazing talent, he would report to the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand instinctively picked up a copy of the Purple Jade Star Food Chronicles on the table, studying some of the food ingredients, focusing on the dessert section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In today’s afternoon encounter simulation, the fat brother successfully allocated the transport teams in a hamburger double-layer scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow was rumored to feature campaign mode simulation, so he was now looking for inspiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, this hot dog’s feasible, and this molten lava cake looks promising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could I consider using temperature variations for shape transformation in transport?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hahaha, indeed, I’m a genius!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fat brother was obsessed, frantically flipping through the book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mu Fan punctually appeared in Jilan Arena the next day, the place was nearly filled with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today he donned a long-sleeved jacket and did not plan on taking it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left arm was recovering well, even feeling itchy now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan could feel the subtle flow of blood, thanks to his unique physique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his left arm shouldn’t exert force yet, it was still heavily bandaged, so he needed to wear a jacket for concealment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eli and Paje greeted Mu Fan, then wondered why the usually silent boy looked especially pale today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A little pale, Eli confirmed upon closer inspection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he not sleep well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, after nodding, Mu Fan didn’t speak further, opting to rest with closed eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yesterday’s Major reappeared, ascending the platform to address the candidates below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today’s battle begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top one hundred will earn final competition qualifications, strive forward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Final competition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan’s eyes snapped open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t received this news until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd also buzzed with murmurs, clearly, the military’s action caught everyone off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maintain silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The competition starts.” The Major’s voice was resolute, offering no explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first round begins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another note, there are 1,021 candidates in this session, creating one vacant spot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Candidate 399 versus candidate 1117, Fighting Platform 1.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Candidate 602 versus candidate 1707, Fighting Platform 2.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This round’s vacant: candidate 1578.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fighting Platform 60.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the final announcement echoed across the massive Fighting Arena, Mu Fan heard his candidate number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Himself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A vacant spot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone began searching for the fortunate one; although having to battle a level-17 military personnel, it was more reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one reaching the top 1,000 was a pushover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Mu Fan stood up, the searching crowd burst into an uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a master received the vacant spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People both on and off the stage heaved a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This terrifying boy got the vacant spot after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Fan had already spotted the officer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star-blue neat military uniform, rank Lieutenant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes carried an inexplicable intensity, still holding…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long stick?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-02T11:22:32.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","0e144193bf1253eeeb5e49f7a4ea3096446ae26353d5b65669894375a078d7d8","mech-shattering-of-the-galaxy-chapter-139","mech-shattering-of-the-galaxy-chapter-137",1586,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmech-shattering-of-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
