"I just don't get it. Who made it a rule that I should run?" Xia Fei demanded in frustration.

Oro was startled. He truly had not thought about this problem before. His mindset was one that had never before questioned the rules. "Didn't the system say? This is an escape assessment. Since you're trying to escape, you naturally have to run."

"And why is that?!" Xia Fei raised an eyebrow and asked.

Oro instantly felt dizzy. He did not get why Xia Fei would ask all these questions. "These are the rules! The rules of the battlefield's automatic assessment system. It wants to test your escaping abilities, so you naturally have to cooperate with it."

"Cooperate with it like hell!" Xia Fei could not help but curse. "Should I cooperate even if the system wants to kill me? Screw the system!"

Xia Fei lightly flicked a finger, and the red cigarette butt flew in an elegant arc through the air before landing in the swamp and snuffing out.

A look of frustration appeared on Oro's face as he asked, "You… What are you intending to do?"

*Zing!*

Ignoring Oro, Xia Fei turned around with a savage light in his eyes and charged at these 108 warriors!

"I don't like becoming anyone's prey; never in the past, and certainly not now!"

...

The situation became rather strange. In the blink of an eye, Xia Fei went from the hunted to the hunter, turning around and charging at those enemies pursuing him!

Those large and muscular warriors were all taken aback. The prey had turned around and was now biting back at them? Such a thing had never happened on the Ancient Battlefield of Gods and Demons before. Xia Fei was the first person to go against the rules.

*Rumble!*

"Falling Leaves of Autumn's Demise!" Xia Fei cried out, exploiting a warrior's surprise to cut him down!

*Whoosh~*

A body was torn apart by the Law of Primal Chaos and then disappeared. The 108 warriors controlled by the system became 107!

Xia Fei took out the Blood Crystal and released Furball and Peacock Blue. Like a killing god, he stared at the distant hunters, who still did not understand what was going on.

"Fight! Beat them into the ground!"

With this order, Furball and Peacock Blue let out strange shouts and charged out with Xia Fei in a vicious counterattack!

This so-called escape assessment instantly went from Xia Fei fleeing and the system pursuing to the system fleeing while Xia Fei, Furball, and Peacock Blue pursued!

"Second!

"Third!

"Fifth!"

*Boom!*

Another warrior produced by the system collapsed, and Xia Fei felt all the frustration in his chest get swept away! With an ashen complexion, he shouted, "This is the sixth!"

...

Oro was on the verge of collapsing. He knew that Xia Fei never did anything according to common sense. After being chased by the system's soldiers for several hours, Xia Fei had finally reached his breakpoint and had begun to counterattack heedlessly, not caring for the rules that were in place for tens of thousands of years!

In the rainforest, a shocking scene was taking place. Xia Fei, Furball, and Peacock Blue were like three primordial beasts that had descended on earth as they hunted down the 108 warriors just like how they had chased Xia Fei moments ago. It was just that his counterattack was lethal and without mercy!

*Zing~*

Xia Fei extracted Blood Crystal from an enemy, appearing rather disappointed.

"These aren't actual living beings, only warriors simulated by the system. They don't have any energy at all," Xia Fei said with a shake of his head.

Oro glared at him and shouted, "Are you here to take a test or hunt? You're treating the Ancient Battlefield's system as your prey! How could there be someone as bold and reckless as you in this universe? These are the rules! The rules require you to run! How could you turn around and hunt down the hunters?"

Xia Fei rolled his eyes at Oro and disdainfully retorted, "All rules exist only to be broken! Let's have these hunters get a taste of what it feels like to be hunted!"

*Beng!*

As he spoke, Xia Fei punched out!

The rules! If Xia Fei cared about the rules, he would not be Xia Fei!

...

Again!

Xia Fei once more displayed his brash and unreasonable behavior, doing things that did not make any sense, thereby overturning the rules that had operated for tens of thousands of years! For the first time, the mysterious AI system running the Ancient Battlefield of Gods and Demons realized that the prey could become the hunter!

In a mysterious room, a giant and intricate machine was in a state of extreme chaos. The reason was very simple: Of the many people who wanted to enter the Ancient Battlefield, one person had overturned the rules it had set down.

The temperature in the room rapidly climbed as the AI system whirred ceaselessly, operating so quickly that it seemed to have gone insane! It was trying to understand what was going on. Why had Xia Fei counterattacked, and how could he dare to attack the system?!

Countless indicator lights flashed, lighting up the room in a bizarre light. The AI system was in a state of extreme disarray as it calculated, calculated, and calculated!

Alas, some things just could not be determined through mere calculation. As the slaughter continued, the AI system began to panic, an unprecedented sense of terror taking root.

There was more than one path to the Ancient Battlefield of Gods and Demons, and Xia Fei was not alone in wanting to get there through the assessment. On countless screens were many different faces.

Suddenly!

All of the screens showed Xia Fei. As for the other warriors in the other passages, they began to panic, for their surroundings had turned pitch-dark. It was as if the AI system had abandoned them.

"What's happening?" A green-skinned warrior stopped running and panted for breath. For seven hours now, he had been pushed to the point of exhaustion by the AI test system. However, for some reason, his surroundings had gone dark, giving himself a chance to catch his breath.

"Rest, I need to rest." The green-skinned warrior held his chest and stopped moving, using this precious moment of time where the system had collapsed to recompose himself.

To be more precise, the AI system had not collapsed. It had gone crazy!

Xia Fei's abnormal actions had left it confused and shocked. It had, thus, decided to use all of its resources to deal with Xia Fei, so it stopped the tests for everyone else. It devoted all of its power to Xia Fei, hoping that all-out calculation would be enough to explain his actions.

"Only one left." Xia Fei slowly strode toward the last, despairing hunter.

At his side were his two accomplices in this counter-hunt, Furball and Peacock Blue.

Both had been influenced by their master to care less and less about the rules. For example, they had worked with Xia Fei to defy the rules of the universe and prevent the Phoenix Tail Stone, an Immemorial Mystical Armament, from returning to the sea of stars.

There was a sinister smile on his face as Xia Fei pushed this last hunter to a dead end, with Furball behind, Xia Fei in front, and Peacock Blue covering the flanks.

"Don't move! I have some things to do first," Xia Fei sternly ordered.

Furball and Peacock Blue prepared to attack at any moment as Xia Fei approached with a sinister face. The hunter had essentially given up on resisting and curiously looked at Xia Fei.

Oro asked in frustration and helplessness, "Xia Fei, what are you trying to do now?"

Xia Fei solemnly replied, "It's very strange. These fellows are clearly simulated by the system, but when my weapon digs into their bodies, I feel like I'm really tearing through flesh and breaking bones."

He paused before continuing, "I want to do some research and see what sort of system this is that can achieve such a high level of realism."

*Cough!*

Oro choked. Defying the rules of the Ancient Battlefield was one thing; now, Xia Fei even wanted to research the Ancient Battlefield's system? What was this nonsense? Had the old immortals of the two supreme races designed this supreme battlefield so that Xia Fei could research it?

At the same time, in the mysterious room, the super AI system was on the verge of collapsing! Since ancient times, this had been the first person who wanted to research it! He was undoubtedly the most insane of all the intelligent lifeforms it had encountered!

The room was already scorching hot. This machine could not be described as insane. Rather, it had gone manic!

*Creeeee!*

A deafening and ugly sound came from the inside of the machine. Following which, a scorched scent spread in the air. It was as if someone had accidentally burned a sweet potato. The smell of burned starch, which was tinged with sweetness, filled the air.

All of the indicator lights madly flashed, just like the cosmos blinking in and out of existence. One thousand times per second! Ten thousand times per second!

Xia Fei had no idea what sort of severe chain reaction his actions had triggered. He was weighing the Blood Crystal in his hand and viciously staring at the last hunter!

*Zing!*

With a swing of his dagger, Xia Fei cut off the enemy's mask and revealed an ape-like face. It seemed like this hunter was not some completely evolved species, with four white fangs extending from its mouth.

"Do you recognize this fellow? What race does he belong to?" Xia Fei asked. He did not know much about the various races in the Law Realm, while Oro was undoubtedly an expert on the subject.

Oro was almost dizzy with rage. "Please, I'm begging you; can you stop messing around? This is an appearance set by the system. How could the Law Realm have a race like this?"

Xia Fei was unmoved, muttering to himself, "It's not a race belonging to the Law Realm? Now that's strange. According to high-level computational theory, all AI processes must have an original form. Could the system have produced it on its own? That means that this Ancient Battlefield's AI system is rather advanced!"

*Whoosh! Whoosh!*

His dagger danced once more!

With clean and simple cuts, he hacked away at the hunter's armor and revealed the muscular body underneath. The curvature of the muscles was sharp and defined; the abs were so tough that they seemed to be made of steel. The hunter's body did not have much fur, and what fur it did have was sparsely distributed.

The hunter produced by the system seemed to have gone dumb. He simply stood there, like someone who had been stripped naked and paraded through the streets, rage and sorrow in his eyes.

Xia Fei stroked his chin and muttered, "I wonder if it simulated the reproductive system?"

Oro almost fainted!

The super AI system also almost fainted from rage!

Anyone who heard these words would break down!

This was simply too much! He even wanted to research the reproductive system! What the hell was wrong with him?

The manic system could not hold on any longer. *Boom!* All of its indicator lights went out! The entire Ancient Battlefield of Gods and Demons went dark!

"Unknown error! The system has been forced to restart..." After a long while, an icy female voice rang out, sounding very fatigued.
