Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1425 - 1115: It’s Over (Second Update)

"Has your training been going well lately?"

Qian Chengxue sat down next to him and asked softly.

"It’s going okay, I guess."

Su Mo replied with a wry smile, not wanting Qian Chengxue to worry too much.

But unfortunately, Qian Chengxue knew Su Mo better than anyone; just one look at his expression told her he wasn’t being truthful, and things were definitely not going smoothly.

"You’ve worked hard; let me give you a shoulder massage."

Qian Chengxue said to Su Mo.

"Sure!"

Su Mo didn’t refuse.

Qian Chengxue lifted her hands and gently placed them on Su Mo’s shoulders, massaging them lightly, and said with a pained heart.

"You don’t have to push yourself too hard. Take things slow and talk to me if anything comes up."

"Don’t worry, it’s fine."

Su Mo placed his hand on Qian Chengxue’s hand, feeling even more touched inside.

"I believe you’ll succeed in whatever you do."

Qian Chengxue whispered, leaning against Su Mo’s back.

"Alright!"

Su Mo felt deeply moved.

The two of them remained quietly close, enjoying the rare peaceful moment.

...

The next day, early in the morning, Su Mo arrived again at the old man’s training ground.

The old man was there, as usual, early.

Su Mo approached the old man and said solemnly, "Rest assured, today I will definitely..."

The old man gave Su Mo a cold look, then raised his hand to interrupt him.

"The training pool is open, stay and train yourself; I have matters to handle."

"Huh? You’re leaving? Isn’t that inappropriate? What if the creatures in there tear me apart, and there’s no one to save me?"

Su Mo said somewhat sheepishly.

"That’s your own problem."

The old man couldn’t be bothered to argue with Su Mo and left with his hands behind his back.

Su Mo watched the old man leave, chuckling bitterly; his instructor had just left.

The Fake Owner Swallower asked in a low voice.

"What do you plan to do?"

Su Mo didn’t answer the Fake Owner Swallower but quietly stared at the training pool and the creatures within.

His expression constantly changed, and Qian Chengxue’s comforting words from yesterday echoed in his mind.

He took a deep breath, his eyes growing increasingly determined, and slowly stepped toward the training pool.

The black water slowly submerged Su Mo’s body.

At this moment, he completely put everything on the line, not just for himself but for everyone who cared about him.

...

In the evening, the old man walked step by step toward his courtyard, expressionless.

When he reached the courtyard entrance, he suddenly stopped.

The entire courtyard was in chaos, with subordinates swinging Light Sabers everywhere, slashing at the ground.

The ground was covered in red-black blood stains.

The old man’s face twitched, and he hurried to the training ground.

Su Mo lunged forward, grabbing at the ground, making full contact with it.

"Caught it."

Su Mo joyfully placed the caught Mangula into a bucket, upon closer inspection, all the originally black Mangula inside were now red-black.

Just as he was about to catch his breath, his expression froze when his eyes inadvertently met the old man’s.

"Oh, you’re back. Let me explain..."

Su Mo forced a smile and was at a loss, much like a child caught doing something wrong.

The old man’s aged face twitched continuously, and his eyes suddenly narrowed, glancing sidelong at the distance.

Soldiers in IV generation Mechanical Armor rushed into the courtyard.

All subordinates in the courtyard were taken down, and it wasn’t long before the soldiers surrounded Su Mo and the old man in the training ground.

The leading general, wearing gray V generation Bio Armor, with a grim face, said.

"Surround them."

"Surround them, General Testo."

The NCO beside him responded without hesitation.

"Arrest them all!"

General Testo ordered without a second thought.

"Huh? Why are you arresting us?"

Su Mo asked, puzzled.

"How dare you ask why we’re arresting you? You’ve released a bunch of polluted creatures, biting people everywhere, and set off Star Ring City’s defense alarm system. Prepare to spend time in jail."

General Testo said, seething with anger.

"No, it’s a misunderstanding!"

Su Mo was also at his wit’s end, finding it funny and frustrating.

"Misunderstanding my ass, the evidence is in your hands."

General Testo wanted to pound these guys; they caused such trouble at this critical moment.

The old man didn’t resist and cooperatively put on the electronic handcuffs.

Watching this, Su Mo felt his heart sink; this time it was over.

...

Shortly after, Su Mo and the old man were locked up in a temporary cell in Star Ring City.

The confinement room was small, about seven or eight square meters.

It was empty inside, except for two single beds.

The surroundings were solid metal walls.

The old man sat there coldly, motionless, his face extremely sour.

Su Mo, also at his wit’s end, apologized to the old man with a wry smile, "Old man, listen to me explain. I really didn’t mean it, and I wasn’t messing around. It was just routine training. When I lay in there, it started well, but suddenly those creatures went crazy and tried escaping. I really tried to catch them; I didn’t expect them to run out....."

The old man raised his head, staring at Su Mo like a ravenous beast.

He spoke in a low voice, "Take off your shirt."

"Huh? That’s not appropriate, is it?"

Su Mo was taken aback.

"Off!"

The old man said coldly.

"Off, off...."

Su Mo quickly took off his shirt, knowing he was at fault.

He realized he had really caused a major issue; the trillions of Mangula had escaped from the training pool, not to mention their immense value.

Those frenzied Mangula biting everyone, the compensation and aftermath alone gave him a headache.

Not to mention dragging the old man into a cell.

He had really broken the sky this time.

The old man looked at the Polluted Blood Stain on Su Mo’s body, his blurry eyes showing a hint of surprise.

He found it increasingly unbelievable.

Normally, those Mangula were very stable; the riot was clearly caused by Negative Energy Pollution, something that shouldn’t normally happen.

The incident was peculiar enough, yet Su Mo’s Negative Energy Pollution had actually diminished.

It was even more unbelievable, considering Negative Energy Pollution was like a persistent sore, usually only suppressible, never diminishing.

And in Su Mo’s state, it had clearly improved.

He had frequently trained in such pools himself, fully aware of its effects.

"What is it?"

Su Mo, seeing the old man remain silent, asked hesitantly.

The old man closed his eyes, ignoring Su Mo.

Seeing the old man silent, Su Mo felt restless, rummaging for clothes and whispering to the Fake Owner Swallower.

"The old man isn’t really mad, is he?"
