Swallowing the Starry Sky Starts with a Sword

Chapter 25 I want to give you a perfect flower.

Yangzhou City, Yangjiang District Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

Yangzhou City is also divided into several districts, such as Yian District in the original book, and Yangjiang District is also one of them.

This type of divided extreme martial arts gym is not only a training area for martial arts students, but also welcomes real martial artists to practice.

When Zhou Ning revealed his identity a little bit and wanted to temporarily occupy a floor area as a martial arts training hall in several buildings of the Yangjiang District Extreme Martial Arts School, the instructors and persons in charge of the martial arts schools in Yangjiang District naturally welcomed him respectfully.

This is a god of war!
With the status of a God of War, he could easily own more than one luxurious villa and martial arts training hall. Not to mention a district like Yangjiang District, it is rare to see a God of War even in the Jiangnan Base City Extreme Headquarters.

It's an honor.

The high-end punching force testing machine that Zhou Ning ordered was moved here. After all, with his current strength, he couldn't use it in the martial arts training hall on the second floor of his home in Mingyue Community.

When a god of war unleashes his full strength, he can easily destroy even a tall building.

Only the building and the training hall of the Extreme Martial Arts School are made of materials good enough.

Bang~!

A blurry fist shadow tore through the air and slammed into the fist force testing machine. A terrifying force poured out, and an astonishing number appeared on the screen.

18056kg!

Mid-level general level.

Seventeen years of potential cultivation, coupled with the fifth level of power amplitude of "The Seven Lights of Thunder" and the guiding technique of "The Waking of Zhe Brings All Things to Life".

Zhou Ning's punching power is now increasing rapidly at a rate of at least several hundred kilograms every day.

Moreover, there is not a trace of over-exploitation of the body's potential, and the speed of physical training will only get faster and faster in the future, and the journey will be smooth.

According to conservative estimates, in three or four months, his basic strength will reach the level of an elementary war god.

"I'm fine."

"There is a problem with the path of swordsmanship and body skills."

Zhou Ning held the sword in his hand, frowning as he thought.

His sword skills and body skills training speed is still very fast. If he maintains the intensity of fighting in the wilderness area, he will be able to reach the third level within half a year, and there will not be too many barriers to entering the fourth level, the 'artistic realm level'.

However, the artistic conception level is by no means the end.

In the original novel, Hong and Lei Shen are the only people on Earth who have domains.

But apart from Hong and Lei Shen, even among the war gods, there are still more than a dozen people who are called "Invincible War Gods". They either have amazing body movements, or have unparalleled swordsmanship, or are high-level war gods and pinnacle spiritual masters who are far superior to other high-level war gods.

You know, the fourth realm, 'artistic realm level', is not uncommon among high-level war gods.

It can be seen that there should be some realm above the fourth realm, the 'artistic realm level', and between the realm level.

That is the realm of the invincible gods of war.

"I'm on the path of strength and yang, and it's no problem for me to reach the fourth level, but what about above that?"

"I can feel it, and I see the shackles of the road ahead."

Zhou Ning thought hard.

It is not wrong to be extremely strong and extremely masculine.

What is wrong is that people have their limits, and it is impossible for people to walk the path of rigidity and masculinity indefinitely.

"I also want to integrate the ultimate yin and softness, the ancient Taoist Tai Chi theory, the harmony of yin and yang, this may be the most suitable path for me."

But even if you think this way, how can you integrate the extremely yin and softness into the extremely rigid and yang body and sword techniques?
After all, "The Waking of Zhe Brings All Things to Life" is just a guiding technique, not a method of fighting.

How to do?
Beep!Beep!

Just as Zhou Ning was thinking, the alarm on his watch suddenly rang.

"Time is up!"

Zhou Ning packed up his things quickly. Today was the day when the Zhou family was holding a banquet, which would officially start at six in the evening.

Zhou Ning rushed home, it was just 5:20.

"Winter jasmine, winter jasmine"

He was searching in the garden downstairs. The forsythia blooms first and then grows leaves. At this time, the forsythia only has branches with many flower buds that have not yet bloomed.

"We agreed to pick a perfect flower, but how come it hasn't even bloomed yet?"

"Oh, it's you."

Zhou Ning searched for a long time but still couldn't find a truly blooming flower, so he had to pick the largest flower bud, which was just half-opened and looked tender and golden.

"go!"

After telling his parents that he had something to do tonight, Zhou Ning called Zhuge Tao and the two of them went to the Zhou family banquet together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Cousin? Cousin? I heard that the Zhou family is going to hold a banquet today?"

In Zhuge Tao's luxury car, Zhou Ning sat in the back seat, leaning back in the leather chair, holding a mobile phone in his hand, sending messages to Zhao Zhiyue.

"Xiao Ning, why are you asking this?"

Zhou Ning smiled and continued typing: "Will you go?"

On the other side, standing at the edge of the European-style stone railing on the second floor, Zhao Zhiyue, wearing a light yellow dress, held her phone with a look of sadness in her eyes, and typed a reply: "Xiao Ning."

"I'm so sad." These four words were typed, hesitated, and then withdrawn.

"I'm here. The party is quite lively. I'll take some pictures and send them to you later."

After sending the message, she put down her phone and turned around.

People were coming and going, the hotel was magnificent and decorated with noble and elegant decorations, so gorgeous that it seemed unreal, like a big net pressing on her and suffocating her.

The uncles and aunts of the Zhou family kept chatting and entertaining the representatives of various families and consortiums.

Looking at the Xu family's representatives attending the banquet in the distance, Zhao Zhiyue suddenly wanted to cry. There were so many uncles and elders around her, but she felt alone, abandoned at the gorgeous trading table.

Like a beautiful and delicate chip.
-
As one of the top families in the country, the Zhou family owns a huge industry in the center of Jiangnan City.

The banquet venue is a luxurious and elegant top-level hotel, which comes with a large garden, swimming pool and other areas.

When Zhuge Tao and Zhou Ning arrived in the old Mercedes-Benz luxury car, super luxury cars kept coming nearby, some of them were powerful figures, some were young elites from big families, some were powerful warriors, and some were representatives of business tycoons.
"Sir, please follow me." A waiter was about to come up and lead the way when he was suddenly scolded from behind.

"I will receive these two guests!"

This middle-aged man was obviously an important figure in the Zhou family, so the waiter stepped back.

"Manager Zhuge! I am sorry for the inconvenience." The middle-aged Zhou family apologized and looked respectfully at Zhou Ning beside Zhuge Tao: "This is him."

"This is the 'Unknown God of War'!" Zhuge Tao had a smile on his face, but naturally he looked down on others.

"My lords, please follow me." The middle-aged man hurriedly led the way. His respectful attitude surprised many guests along the way.

"Who are those two? Why are the Zhou family so polite?"

"Speak softly! That middle-aged man is the director of the Extreme Dojo, Zhuge Tao! In his eyes, our Toyoma Group is nothing."

"Who is the young man next to him? Judging from his posture and status, his aura is even greater than Zhuge Tao's."

Under countless gazes, Zhuge Tao and Zhou Ning entered the hotel and came to the center of the Zhou family banquet. There were already several middle-aged people waiting here, all of them were senior figures of the Zhou family.

"Manager Zhuge! Your Excellency the God of War!"

A middle-aged man with white beard and sharp eyes came forward. Even when facing Zhuge Tao, his aura was not inferior to Zhuge Tao.

"This is the current head of the Zhou family, Mr. Zhou Bing'an."

"This is the unknown war god who has recently shown his power."

Zhuge Tao was in the middle and introduced both sides.

"How can I be considered the helmsman! The helmsman of the Zhou family has always been Mr. Zhou. I am just the leader of this generation."

Zhou Bingan was polite at first, and then politely said to Zhou Ning: "Sir God of War, what is your name?"

Zhou Ning looked at him, the most powerful person in the middle-aged generation of the Zhou family, and replied with a smile: "My name is Zhou Ning."

Zhou Bing'an's eyes lit up: "Haha, so, Mr. Zhou Ning and my Zhou family are also relatives?"

Zhou Ning was still smiling, but his smile became unpredictable: "Saying that you are from the same family is too polite."

"Mr. Zhou Bing'an, my mother's name is Zhou Yuying, you should still remember her, right?"

Zhou Bing'an was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly froze.

Zhou Ning and Zhou Yuying.
His expression suddenly shook violently. Even after decades of experience, he still couldn't hide his shock and confusion at the moment: "You, you are..."

More than 20 years ago, the girl who ran away from the Zhou family because of her engagement.

Her child has now become a god of war?
A god of war? ! !
"Hey?"

Ignoring Zhou Bing'an, Zhou Ning picked up his cell phone, dialed his cousin Zhiyue's number, and put it to his ear.

"cousin?"

"Are you there, cousin?"

On the other side, in the corner of the second floor of the hotel, Zhao Zhiyue, who was distraught, answered the phone: "Xiaoning? You asked me where I am? I'm at the Zhou family banquet."

"Why didn't you see me? Are you at the banquet? I'm on the second floor." She stood up suddenly: "Xiao Ning, don't mess around. The Zhou family banquet is not an ordinary occasion. There are people from financial groups and families everywhere. They even said that a god of war will come today!"

"Let me go to the banquet center on the first floor?"

Zhao Zhiyue was worried, confused, and anxious.

She was wearing a light yellow dress and moved quickly among the crowd, walking down the luxurious and elegant second-floor stairs quickly, her high heels making a clicking sound.

Then, at a glance, she saw the extremely familiar figure of the young man in the center of the banquet.

Next to him, there were a bunch of uncles and great-grandfathers of the Zhou family standing, especially Zhou Bing'an, who was the most powerful person in the Zhou family, although she called him great-grandfather in terms of seniority.

However, the younger generations of the Zhou family usually didn't dare to even breathe in front of him.

Zhao Zhiyue’s engagement with the Xu family was also arranged by this great-grandfather. Even though her mother, father, grandparents all opposed it, in the end no one could refute Zhou Bingan’s decision.

Seeing Zhou Bingan there, Zhao Zhiyue didn't dare to go over there. She lowered her voice and said anxiously on the phone: "Xiaoning! Xiaoning, don't stand there! I'm in front of you on the right, come to me quickly!"

"cousin!"

Zhou Ning saw Zhao Zhiyue in the crowd, strode over and grabbed her hand.

Before Zhao Zhiyue could react, she saw her powerful great-grandfather walking towards her with a serious face and suddenly lowering his head towards her cousin.

"War God Zhou Ning, I'm sorry!"

Seven words.

Zhao Zhiyue's mind was in a mess. She suddenly didn't know what these seven words meant. She just stood there in a daze.

I saw my cousin take out a small flower bud from his shirt pocket.

Delicate and golden.

"Cousin, this is the first winter jasmine this year."

Zhou Ning felt a sense of pride in his heart. He stood in front of Zhao Zhiyue and gently inserted the half-opened forsythia bud into his cousin's hair accessory.

"Nine out of ten things in the world are not as you wish. Life is bound to have flaws."

"But I just want to give you a perfect flower!"

He turned around and asked, "Who's in favor, who's against?"

At a glance, countless representatives of financial groups, family elites, and even representatives of warriors from the Extreme Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School were all silent.
