In an instant, rocks crumbled and the world seemed to end, but the Kai Star people, including the Red Armor, were all excited. They knew that after this tremor, their star field would be upgraded to level 4.

Level 4 star systems are considered mid-tier star systems. They possess more space, more land, more resources containing powerful energy, and more advanced enhancement methods. In addition, the biggest change is the level cap for reincarnators.

The concept of a 'level cap' was something Li Wei learned from the Silver Armor man; Li Wei had never heard of such things before. In fact, a reincarnator's level is directly related to their star domain. That is, the maximum level a reincarnator can reach is greatly influenced by the star domain's level. Once a reincarnator in a star domain reaches that star domain's level cap, no matter what they do, they cannot further increase their combat power—this is the 'limitation.' The only way to break through this limitation is to upgrade the star domain.

This is why the people of Kai Star are so eager. Originally a Level 3 star domain, the highest level they could upgrade to was S2. The highest level allowed for a Level 4 star domain was S4, and so on. If they wanted to push their combat power to S7 or even S9, they had to upgrade their star domain to the highest level.

Upon learning this, Li Wei cursed the Main God inwardly. Since the main god wanted him to level up quickly, why hadn't he told him this crucial information? There must be some conspiracy involved. However, Li Wei also had some doubts: the Earth Star Domain was already level 2 before, so why could he also advance to level S2?

Afterwards, Li Wei learned that because he had brought Kai Star under the jurisdiction of the Black Paper, he could naturally improve Kai Xing's combat power according to Kai Star's standards.

Li Wei kept all of this in mind. After attending the lavish banquet hosted by the Kai Star Royal Family, Li Wei returned to his palace in the Kai Star Domain, because in a few hours, his mandatory mission would begin.

Li Wei sat alone in the enormous bedroom of the palace. Li Wei had already driven away all the servants of the Kai Star. These Kai Star people, like humans, had a strict hierarchical system, even more so. Among the Kai Star people, there were also ordinary people with little combat ability. Apart from wearing armor, they were basically no different from ordinary human civilians.

At this moment, the spacious dormitory was empty except for Li Wei. With a few hours left, Li Wei needed to calm his mind, after all, he was on a mission in Shadow Street of Kai Star this time.

What is the mission? Li Wei has no idea at the moment, so he needs to get himself back to peak condition.

Before long, Li Wei entered a meditative state. He first used the Great Breathing Method to control his heart rate and blood flow to the optimal state, and then began to breathe in and exhale true qi to cleanse his heart and marrow.

At this moment, the five inner cores were rotating in the dantian, emitting a soft light. A continuous stream of true qi swirled around the inner cores, while a considerable amount of true qi also flowed through the meridians to the whole body, constantly tempering and strengthening the physique. This was the reason why Li Wei initially chose this type of cultivation method.

While some enhancements, such as those in magic, are easy to achieve and quite powerful in the early stages, only martial arts-based techniques can gradually improve one's physique. Regardless of one's constitution, with years of tempering with true qi, one will become stronger and more resilient. Of course, this doesn't mean other enhancements are useless. Take the enhancement path of a Grand Wizard, for example; it belongs to the magic system. The characteristic of this system is its rapid development. Even beginners can inflict great damage with basic magic, far surpassing the power of traditional internal energy cultivation or cultivation-based enhancements. However, in the mid-to-late game, the advantages of traditional internal energy cultivation and cultivation systems become apparent, but the power of magic remains undeniable. Reaching the Grandmaster level in magic marks the pinnacle. At this point, the magic released with a mere gesture possesses immense destructive power; to exaggerate, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could destroy the world.

While internal energy cultivation and spiritual practice may incorporate special techniques and spells in the later stages, their fundamental principle remains the same: relying on the body to mobilize or alter external forces to achieve defensive effects. Take, for example, Li Wei's martial art, the "Shockwave Fist." This martial art, originating from the Nameless Fist Manual of Bodhidharma, possesses immense offensive power. With Li Wei's current full-force internal energy, he could absolutely shatter a boulder weighing tens of tons with a single punch. However, Li Wei doesn't directly strike the enemy's body; instead, he shatters the air, using the resulting intense vibrations to injure his opponent.

It can be said that martial arts and cultivation are Li Wei's greatest strengths, and his main focus of strengthening his character stems from these. In addition, Li Wei also possesses many other special skills, which further elevates his overall combat power to the S2 level.

After circulating his true energy through his meridians for several major cycles, Li Wei exhaled a white column of air over ten feet long from his nostrils. Wherever the air column passed, the soft fur on the carpet was blown into a concave shape. After inhaling and exhaling three times in succession, Li Wei finally opened his eyes.

After an hour of cultivation and recovery, the fatigue accumulated over the past few days has been completely swept away. Based on Li Wei's current condition, he can begin the forced mission at any time.

Looking at the time, with only an hour left, Li Wei aimlessly wandered around his dormitory room. To be honest, the Kai Star Royal Family really valued him; the place here was built just like an ancient imperial palace, even more extravagant.

The ground was covered with the fur of some unknown wild animal, which was very soft to walk on. On the walls, every meter was inlaid with a stone the size of an egg, which emitted a soft light like a luminous pearl.

And then there were the servants of Kai Star who served him. According to Red Armor, they were all elites, one in a hundred, handsome men and beautiful women. Li Wei somewhat agreed with this. Putting aside their faces, which were impossible to see clearly, their physiques were impeccable, regardless of gender. The men were as strong as Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the women had figures comparable to models. Even their voices were very magnetic.

Unfortunately, none of this appealed to Li Wei at all. In his view, it was like chickens and ducks not being attracted to each other.

The lavishly decorated bedroom was of little use to Li Wei, so he stopped admiring it and sat back down on the large bed.

Because the Black Paper had the ability to store items, Li Wei didn't need to prepare the necessary equipment and items for the mission. However, Li Wei still summoned the Black Paper, took out the items from its storage space one by one, and then put them back out of boredom.

Until Li Wei discovered a strange 'shell'.

Upon taking it out, Li Wei discovered that it was a hard shell slightly smaller than the palm of his hand. The shell had fine lines on it and was dark in color, somewhat resembling the hard plastic used in the military in the past, but much harder than plastic.

"That's strange, where did this thing come from?" Li Wei tilted his head and tried to recall, but he had no memory of the shell.

After searching through the storage space again, Li Wei only found this one strange item that he had no recollection of. Naturally, Li Wei used his Eye of Perception on the shell in his hand.

After a while, a message appeared in Li Wei's field of vision.

"Kai Motherbody, Item, Physical Enhancement Type, Rating A, Random Reward Item Obtained After Destroyer Upgrades Subordinate Starfields, Unique Attributes, Non-Tradeable"

Li Wei was somewhat stunned.

It turned out to be an item randomly obtained after upgrading the star field, meaning it automatically went into my storage space. Judging from the name 'Kai Motherbody,' it should be related to the Kai Star people.

After examining it closely, Li Wei didn't find anything particularly special about the armor plate. However, its 'physical enhancement' attribute clearly indicated that it was an item that could enhance the user's physical constitution, and its rating was quite high.

Still puzzled, Li Wei suddenly saw a ball of light emerge from the Black Paper, followed by a familiar notification: "Forced quest activated, teleportation countdown..."

"It's finally starting!" Li Wei's spirits lifted, but he was holding the piece of the Kai Motherbody in his hand when he was enveloped in a white light. Then the light disappeared, and the huge bedroom was empty.

"Mission: 'Cruel Killing Ground' is now open. Location: First Layer of God's Ruins. Number of players: 32. Random pairing for two players..."

"Pairing complete... You have been assigned to Squad 7, which consists of 2 members. Team member marks have been generated..."

"Mission Requirements: Find the 'Artifact' hidden within the First Layer of God's Ruins, or defeat 4 other squad members to complete the mission. Time Limit: 72 hours. Those who fail to complete the mission requirements within the time limit will be eliminated."

"Since this is your first time entering the 'Brutal Killing Field' mode, please note: After your star field reaches level 4, the mission scenario will switch to a mixed star field mode, where reincarnators from different star fields will randomly enter the same mission."

This was the notification Li Wei heard during the teleportation process.

When the bright light faded, Li Wei regained his vision. He found himself inside a huge building. The building was huge because there was a massive pillar less than a hundred meters away from Li Wei.

Li Wei recognized that these pillars were load-bearing structures supporting the roof. Generally, such pillars in buildings are made of sturdy wood or reinforced concrete, with a maximum diameter of no more than five feet. However, the pillar Li Wei saw was like a wall.

Judging by appearance, it is at least 50 meters in diameter, and looking up, you can't see the top. It's no exaggeration to call it Optimus Prime.

Li Wei looked around and found himself alone. There was a large patch of grass around him, taller than a person, covering an area the size of three or four football fields. Li Wei quickly crouched down and hid in the grass.

At this point, Li Wei began to carefully analyze the mission.
