Chapter 228: The [S] Series?! A brand‑new category never seen before!

But…

Random instance, opening a blind box in the sky?

This setting… sounds a bit taxing, but it's indeed interesting!

"A luck game…?"

Su Ming stared at the night sky outside the window, black as ink, and a self‑deprecating smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"That's indeed quite anxiety‑inducing."

"After all, I'm a person whose strength is still pretty decent…"

"But luck has always been a curse for me."

One‑in‑ten winning rate?

Heh!

His mind was as clear as a polished mirror.

On others it's just probability theory.

On him?

That's damn a 100% guaranteed safety net!

Inside the cabin, the pressure remained constant.

Only the engine's low growl echoed continuously in his ears.

The soda Su Ming was holding had lost its chill.

He didn't drink any more, merely keeping his head turned, staring intently out the porthole.

To the naked eye, the view outside the window was an utter, dead silence of black.

Below, aside from occasional blinding white lightning tearing through the clouds, there was only a suffocatingly dense darkness.

It was impossible to discern any of the terrifying density of red dots that radar would show.

But…

Su Ming's brows twitched slightly as his fingertips lightly tapped the armrest.

Wang Dongfeng, that kid, would be fine if he kept quiet.

But once he spoke, that intense feeling of being watched surged.

It was as if countless greedy eyes were hidden in the endless darkness, pressed against the aircraft's skin, staring fixedly at this iron can traversing the storm.

"Playing god, sneaking around…"

Su Ming casually set the pull‑tab can down, a flash of sharpness flashing in his eyes.

Since mortal eyes can't pierce this veil, let's change the game.

"I don't believe that the broken junk hanging in the sky could be harder to see through than those old‑hand's Inner Eye?"

A thought stirred.

Buzz—!

Brilliant golden light instantly ignited deep within Su Ming's pupils!

Eye of Truth, activate!

He looked out the window again.

It remained a night sky black as ink.

But Su Ming didn't reduce the output of his ocular power; instead, he recklessly channeled more internal energy, pouring it wildly into his eyes.

He sensed that behind this black veil lay something far from simple!

As time passed, his field of vision began to reconstruct.

It was like an old television with a poor signal.

The previously empty void was now filled with twisted noise specks and mosaic.

Behind each clump of noise was a nauseating dark‑red halo.

"These are what they call the Gate?"

Su Ming squinted, his gaze trying to pierce that chaotic barrier and stare at the essence.

A stabbing sensation surged!

That was the Rule's repulsion, the instinctive rejection of high‑dimensional information toward low‑dimensional observers.

It's like mortals may not look directly at a deity!

Even if it's merely trash casually discarded by a deity.

"Heh."

Su Ming sneered; not only did he keep his eyes open, the golden light intensified!

"Get… out of my way!"

If it were before, he might still have held back a bit.

But now?

He not only stared directly at a deity, he even slayed the Son of Decay!

Would he still be afraid of a few lifeless, heavy clouds?!

In this world, there's only things he doesn't want to see, not things he can't see!

Boom—!

His gaze, like a blade, violently tore apart that mosaic‑like disguise!

The field of vision suddenly cleared!

Those previously blurry red dots finally revealed their snarling true forms.

That is...

Tiny fragments of broken micro‑worlds, each floating in the void!

Su Ming's eyes scanned quickly, his mind racing wildly.

"【S】 series?"

He stroked his chin.

Now, he has seen pure numeric altars, V‑shaped altars, and K‑shaped altars.

But this thing in the sky has a different prefix—

【S】!

Sky? The heavens?

Or Space? The void?

However...

All along this route, most are just low‑quality white or green fishy planes.

Even the blue 【Excellent】 tier is extremely rare!

Monsters of this tier, to him now, are no different from stray dogs by the road.

"Mr. Su?"

In the cockpit, Wang Dongfeng saw Su Ming staring out the window in silence, assumed he was nervous, and hurriedly spoke to comfort him.

After all, Su Ming is formidable.

Even if he could cut a street through on the ground, once something goes wrong at ten‑thousand‑meter altitude…

It would be a case of heaven not answering and earth being unresponsive.

Thinking of that, Wang Dongfeng smiled, trying to keep his tone light.

"Please don't be so tense, really."

"According to the big data we gathered by risking our lives these past few days, these turbulence look frightening, but most are just rotten sweet‑potato stinky bird eggs."

"With your abilities..."

"What's the difference between using nuclear weapons to kill a mosquito?"

"Don't even say we passed safely; even if we actually crashed in, I'd still worry about the monsters inside—whether they can leave a whole corpse, haha!"

Is that so...

Su Ming gave no reply.

At some point, he had turned his head back, fixing his gaze dead ahead on the flight path.

There, on the radar screen, was a relatively clean area.

The red dots were few; it could be called a safe corridor.

But.

In his Eye of Truth…

"Ugh!"

Su Ming let out a low hum, raised his hand and covered his right eye.

Pain!

A piercing pain!

It's been ages since he encountered this level of backlash!

But when he lowered his hand again…

Ahead of his sight, that seemingly harmless thin cloud mass was even more off.

"Show me clearly...!!"

Su Ming gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, forcing his vision to focus.

Golden light collided violently with that layer of gray mist, emitting a silent screech!

Finally.

Blood‑soaked characters shattered the void's concealment and floated before his eyes—

【Number: S99】

【Connection sign】: The Forgotten Ancient God Beast Arena

【Quality】: Quasi-Myth

【Karma Overview】: The burial ground of mythic creatures, the playground of former overlords! Mortals forbidden! Touch it and you die!!!

Quasi-Myth!

S99!

Number in the top hundred?!

Su Ming's pupils trembled violently, and he couldn't help but curse inwardly.

What the hell kind of divine luck is this?

Weren't we told it would be as simple as a game?

Weren't we told it would be like swatting a mosquito?

At this moment, Wang Dongfeng didn't notice anything amiss, still babbling and making a declaration.

"Mr. Su, just relax and get some sleep."

"Even if I really go in, I can still act!"

"Hehe... I'm far inferior to you, but compared to ordinary Dragon Guard… I'm still that much stronger…"

Before the words even left his mouth.

Beep—!

Inside the once steady cockpit, the shrill alarm blared like a death charm, and the Red Light flashed wildly!

The whole aircraft seemed to slam into an invisible wall, jolting violently, and the happy water spilled out.

"WTF?! What's happening?!"

Wang Dongfeng's voice turned terrified, changing tone.

Beside him, Magu's expression beneath the mask was equally hideous, radiating a terrible aura.

Anyone but a fool would know something's gone wrong!

Amid the flashing Red Light, Su Ming took a deep breath, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

He raised his hand, pointing at the rapidly expanding gray maw ahead that completely blocked the sky, and spoke softly.

"A mosquito? Three Dragon Guard can push it aside?"

"Wang Dongfeng…"

"The chance is yours, this mosquito…"

"You go first, I'll follow behind!"
