Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Giant of Light

Page 43

"By the way, I'm actually the director of this base!"

Lu Yunhe recalled the series of identities he carried, many of which he didn't know how they were connected to him.

"Let's go for a stroll and soak up some youthful energy!"

……

Jiangnan Elite Martial Arts Training Base!

At this moment, in the plaza inside the base, a group of this year's freshmen are having a competition, which is considered a ranking of freshmen and has many benefits.

After all, although they are newcomers, they are still martial artists, and they need to fight for all resources themselves.

"Luo Feng, I remember you competed here last year and even won first place," Shi Jiang teased Luo Feng, who was standing next to him, from the spectator stands.

At that time, Luo Feng was still a newbie. He was arrogant in the newcomer competition and was the talk of the town for a while. This angered many veterans, and then everyone started to be proven wrong.

“Indeed, a year has passed in the blink of an eye.” Luo Feng nodded. Although it was only a year, he had experienced a lot during this time.

With the enhancement of the base's resources, his martial arts strength reached the level of a beginner war god, and his mental cultivation level reached the level of a high-level war god. His strength was second only to those high-ranking councilors.

"Shi Jiang, I've decided to graduate this year. The base's resources can hardly help me improve anymore," Luo Feng suddenly said. He'd already reached the level of a War God, so staying in the base any longer wouldn't make much difference.

"So fast." Shi Jiang was a little surprised, but then he understood and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I'll graduate early too."

Just as the two were talking, there seemed to be some commotion on the teachers' side, which aroused the curiosity of Luo Feng and the other students.

"That is!"

As a mentalist, Luo Feng spotted the figure surrounded by the teachers. The familiar appearance seemed to remind him of something.

The next moment, Luo Feng disregarded the base's restrictions and flew directly into the crowd using his mental power, leaving Shi Jiang staring blankly. Martial artists can only fly when they reach the planetary level.

"Quiet!"

Lu Yunhe arrived at the academy and looked helplessly at the crowd surrounding him. Because he had returned to Earth, he had almost completely suppressed his aura.

Otherwise, if they were allowed to combine the domain lord-level consciousness with the fluctuations of the primordial laws and the strength of the stellar level, these apprentices would never be able to raise their heads.

He released a slight aura, especially towards the person blatantly flying in mid-air above him.

Then, the crowd around felt that the figure, which had originally looked like an old farmer, had instantly transformed into a god who ruled over everything, or rather, an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao who controlled the operation of all laws.

Everyone felt a jolt and fell silent instantly. Luo Feng, who had been staring intently at Lu Yunhe, was so agitated by the aura that he fell straight down from mid-air.

Although the onlookers were intimidated by the aura, their martial arts instincts remained. Upon noticing someone falling, they immediately scattered. How could martial artists possibly reach out to catch something falling from the sky?

Snapped!

A space on the ground cleared up, and Luo Feng, who had fallen from the sky, landed flat on his face right in front of Lu Yunhe, and the whole scene fell silent again.

Chapter 73 Test

"It's over!"

Realizing his current situation, Luo Feng felt instantly embarrassed and wanted to dig a spaceship out with his foot. He didn't know whether to stay there or look up and say hello.

Just then, Luo Feng felt someone kick him three times, as if it were hinting at something.

Upon realizing this, Luo Feng immediately brought his feet together and lowered his head again, then said loudly, "Master Lu, I, Luo Feng, wish to become your disciple. I hope you will grant my request."

Seeing Luo Feng's tactful manner, Shi Jiang, who had rushed over, was secretly pleased. He had been thinking about the plot of the chivalrous novels that he had discussed with Luo Feng earlier, which was why he had made that little move.

"Luo Feng, get up first!"

Lu Yunhe spoke softly, while simultaneously releasing his genetic energy to lift Luo Feng, who was kneeling on the ground.

"Teacher Lu, Luo Feng is a good person, and his conduct is..."

Seeing this, the teachers nearby quickly spoke up, saying that since they were students from the base, they should help if they could, and they would say a few words anyway.

Of course, these instructors and teachers only dared to say nice things and would never dare to force Lu Yunhe to take on disciples.

"disciple!"

Lu Yunhe looked at the expectant Luo Feng and pondered for a moment. Taking Luo Feng as a disciple would be a worthwhile decision, especially with the example of the scoundrel city lord.

Moreover, even if Luo Feng's final achievements may not be the same as in the original story, it cannot be denied that his current aptitude as a mentalist is indeed the best on Earth.

Moreover, looking to the future makes many things meaningless. Regardless of what the future holds, Luo Feng is currently just an apprentice martial artist.

Lu Yunhe, on the surface, is a star-level expert, but in reality, he has reached the domain lord level. He is more than capable of taking on an apprentice.

“My standards for accepting apprentices are very high!” Lu Yunhe said slowly, making Luo Feng, who was standing to the side, feel a tightness in his heart, fearing that he would be rejected outright.

"However, it's fate that we've met. I'll give you a chance. If you can succeed, I'll accept you as my apprentice. If you can't..."

"Disciple is willing!"

Luo Feng quickly replied that he wouldn't give up such a great opportunity; he would at least give it a try.

“Alright!” Lu Yunhe nodded: “If you can emerge from the ruins of Civilization No. 6 in the Amazon rainforest within six months, I will take you as my apprentice.”

"Civilization Relic No. 9!"

Luo Feng had some doubts in his heart, as he didn't know much about the major civilization relics on Earth.

After all, he had been playing in academy competitions and planned to explore various ancient ruins after graduating from academy.

"Luo Feng, hurry up and thank Master Lu!"

Although Luo Feng was unaware of the details, some of his teachers knew about the ruins and quickly offered a reminder. In their view, Master Lu's offering of such a simple task meant he definitely wanted to take Luo Feng as a disciple.

In other words, it won't be long before Luo Feng becomes one of the most powerful people on this planet.

"Thank you, Master Lu!"

Upon hearing the teacher's words, Luo Feng quickly bowed his head to express his gratitude. However, when he looked up, he found that Lu Yunhe had already disappeared from his sight.

Lu Yunhe's figure appeared in mid-air, concealing himself through the use of the Law of Light, and quietly looked at the jubilant crowd below: "This time, let's see if we two are truly destined for each other."

……

What exactly is the No. 9 civilization relic?

Luo Feng looked at the teachers who were congratulating him with a strange expression. Was there something wrong with this site?

“I know that!” Shi Jiang happily moved closer to Luo Feng: “I was planning to apply to go to this site before.”

"It is speculated that the No. 9 Civilization Ruins is a base for an alien force to select disciples. For martial artists, the mortality rate is quite high, but there has not been a single case of a mentalist who has entered the ruins dying."

Speaking of this, Shi Jiang was somewhat envious, because he was just a martial artist: "The most important thing is that, due to the widespread use of the script in the ruins, the time to clear the No. 9 Civilization Ruins is basically only about a month and a half."

“Master Lu is giving you six months, he definitely wants to take you as his disciple.”

"It's probably not that simple!"

However, upon hearing Shi Jiang's words, Luo Feng's expression turned serious. As the strongest person on Earth, Lu Shi must have been to the No. 9 Civilization Ruins and should be familiar with the tests inside.

Moreover, since Master Lu said he was only giving an opportunity, it means that this opportunity is indeed a test. After all, given Master Lu's status, there's no need for him to beat around the bush and give a test that outsiders would find laughable.

However, with so many people around, Luo Feng didn't want to go against their good intentions, so he could only keep these suspicions to himself.

A few days later, Luo Feng and Xu Xin, having made up their minds, bid each other a reluctant farewell and headed to the academy base, preparing to board the aircraft arranged by the base to travel to the No. 9 Civilization Ruins.

"Give!"

However, to Luo Feng's astonishment, the person accompanying him on the aircraft was General Dong Nanbiao, who even threw him a green crystal that exuded a strong life force.

"The spirit of plants and trees can be directly absorbed after breaking it open, which can quickly improve your physical fitness and fully unleash your potential as a mentalist. That's what 'he' said." Dong Nanbiao also looked at Luo Feng with curiosity. Over the years, Lu Yunhe had never considered taking on a disciple.

"Master Lu!"

Upon hearing Dong Nanbiao's words, Luo Feng felt a momentary sense of unease. He knew that, in order to avoid causing too much of a stir, he had announced that his mental energy potential (dark gold sphere) had been exhausted after reaching the intermediate level of War God.

However, in just one glance, Lu Yunhe actually saw through his true nature. And most importantly, he didn't know what kind of trial was in the No. 9 civilization ruins that required such a treasure to assist him.

Luo Feng swallowed the spirit of plants with doubt, raising his physical attributes to the minimum level of a high-level war god. However, the dark golden sphere in his mind shattered, and his potential as a mentalist was exhausted.

"It's really all used up!"

On the aircraft, Luo Feng, whose strength had greatly increased, did not show much joy on his face, because everything seemed to be as Lu Yunhe had predicted, which made him very worried.

However, he quickly lost interest in other things, because they had already arrived at Civilization Ruins No. 9.

"Luo Tiancai, when you come out, we'll throw you a welcome-back party!"

The officer stationed at Ruins No. 9 smiled and said to Luo Feng. Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz with discussion about Lu Yunhe taking on apprentices, with everyone agreeing that the assessment was just a formality.

"Thank you!"

Luo Feng thanked them and, amidst everyone's anticipation, entered the No. 9 Civilization Ruins alone.

One month later!

Some people who bet that Luo Feng could be released in a month started to express different opinions.

A month and a half later!

Some people began to worry because, according to statistics, those who could emerge from the No. 9 civilization ruins would basically be around this time at the latest.

Three months later!

This time was the time when the deaths of the participants in the No. 9 Civilization Relics were announced by the outside world.

Four months later!

Xu Xin tried to find Lu Yunhe through connections, but was imprisoned by the Xu family.

Five months later!

A booming sound rang out within the No. 9 Civilization Ruins, but it did not alert those outside the ruins.

Chapter 74 Taking Luo Feng as a Disciple

"I'm finally out!"

In the No. 9 Civilization Ruins, Luo Feng emerged excitedly from the shattered crystal chamber, the very same crystal room that had trapped him for over five months.

"Luo Feng, congratulations on passing the death test mission."
