Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 23: God of War Zheng Lei, heading to the Misty Community
A week after Chu He broke through to the intermediate general level, Zhou Haichao finally called and agreed to meet at the East Military Region Warrior Supply Base.

That’s right, the God of War was delayed for two days for some unknown reason.

As the train pulled into the station, Chu He just got off the train and saw a big man standing next to Manager Zhou Haichao at the gate of the Warrior Supply Base.

Originally, Chu He and Zhou Haichao were natives of the Northeast Base City. Chu He was 185cm tall and Zhou Haichao was 180cm tall. In today's China, their heights were considered quite high.

But the big man next to Zhou Haichao was a whole head taller than Zhou Haichao.

Two meters tall, with a sturdy build, well-defined muscles, and gnarled muscles like the roots of an old tree...

All of them give people a sense of security that is full of strength and tenacity.

Not to mention the broad shoulders and thick chest under the black battle suit that gleamed with the cold light of fine iron.

What attracts the most attention is undoubtedly the pair of thick arms and the pair of huge black battle axes held in the palms.

The axe blade is sharp and gleams with a cold light, and the handle is wrapped with sturdy leather to ensure that it will not slip out of your hand during fierce battle.

The people coming and going around often looked at each other at the first moment, and their gazes lingered on the pair of axes the longest.

"Chu He!" Zhou Haichao waved to Chu He.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is [Great Axe] Zheng Lei, a mid-level war god."

"Zheng Lei just graduated from the elite training camp a few years ago. In just a few years, he became a mid-level war god."

As he spoke, Zhou Haichao looked at Chu He with a kind expression, "Of course, if you can join the elite training camp of my Leidian Martial Arts School, you can also call me Brother Zheng."

Chu He turned around and looked at this "Senior Brother Zheng" carefully.

The resolute expression, determined eyes, and the aura of majesty without anger were immediately engraved in Chu He's mind.

At first glance, you can tell that this is definitely a reliable and trustworthy man!
No wonder Zhou Haichao would seek a deal with this God of War.

"Hello, Senior Brother Zheng." Chu He addressed him directly without any hesitation.

"Well, hello, Junior Brother Chu." Zheng Lei's voice was deep and deep. He turned to look at Zhou Haichao and said, "A good friend asked me for help these past two days, which delayed everyone's time."

"It's okay, it's okay." Manager Zhou waved his hands repeatedly. "You're going to use these plant spirits anyway, so a two-day delay is nothing."

"Manager Zhou, don't worry. Regardless of success or failure, I won't take back the cultivation resources I paid for." Zheng Lei put the two axes back into the axe sheaths on his back and continued, "If I don't find the plant spirits in the end, it will be just bad luck on my part."

"No matter what, I will always remember the kindness of Director Zhou in recommending me to the elite training camp."

Hearing this, Chu He glanced sideways slightly.

Zheng Lei, the giant axe bearer, looks calm and reliable, but he is definitely not the kind of person who is stupid and naive.

The sentence just now clearly meant that regardless of whether the spirits of plants and trees could be discovered or not, Manager Zhou had repaid the favor he had done for him.

Come to think of it, there is no real fool among those who can grow into a god of war.

He has been used to death long ago!
Zhou Haichao, a seasoned man, naturally understood Zheng Lei's implication and said with a somewhat unnatural smile, "Hey! Don't worry, I'm 90% sure there's a plant spirit there. You have a good chance of breaking through to the High-level War God this time!"

In Zhou Haichao's mind, Zheng Lei is the most successful investment he has made in recent years.

This time, for the opportunity to break through to the God of War level, Zhou Haichao no longer cared about anything else and resolutely contacted Zheng Lei.

The latter also gave him a perfect reply.

"Unfortunately, after this time, this favor will be used up. If I can break through to the War God level, it will be fine. As War Gods, there will naturally be a chance to renew our friendship. But if I fail to break through..."

Zhou Haichao sighed inwardly. Somehow, he suddenly felt a slight sense of loss. However, thinking back to the cultivation resources he had just received, Zhou Haichao regained his resolve.

Regardless, the opportunity to break through to become a War God is right before our eyes...

This kind of opportunity may not come once in a lifetime, and it would be a real pity if you don’t seize it.

……

On the way to County Town No. 0316, Zhou Haichao explained to Zheng Lei in detail the content of the assessment for Chu He.

Hearing that Zhou Haichao actually wanted to test Chu He's true combat ability, Zheng Lei turned around and looked at Chu He carefully for a while, then turned back to Zhou Haichao and said, "Manager Zhou, does Junior Brother Chu still need to be tested?"

"Just by looking at how effortlessly he can keep up with us, we can guess that he must have the physical fitness of a general now. Don't you agree, Junior Brother Chu?"

When he said the latter sentence, Zheng Lei was already looking at Chu He.

Under the gaze of those dark eyes that revealed a firm expression, Chu Hesheng could not afford to hide anything.

Of course, the action would begin in a moment, and Chu He didn't intend to hide it.

He nodded and said, "Yes. I've had some inspiration these past few days at home and have achieved a breakthrough to the Intermediate General level."

"Intermediate-level warrior!" Zhou Haichao exclaimed in surprise, "If I remember correctly, you are also a spiritualist, right?"

"Psychic Master?"

This time, it was Zheng Lei's turn to be surprised.

"Then your mental power has reached the primary war god level!"

"It was just luck." Chu He smiled faintly.

"Good!" Zheng Lei slapped Chu He on the shoulder, causing the fast-moving Chu He to stagger. "Junior Brother Chu is indeed a genius!"

"In this way, if there really are spirits of plants and trees, our chances of success on this trip will increase a bit!"

Aside, Zhou Haichao recalled Zhao Changkong's comment on Chu He: "You actually want to break through to the God of War level within a year. You have no idea how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"

Looking at it again at this moment, Zhou Haichao feels so relieved!

Broadly speaking, Chu He can now be regarded as a god of war!

It is really a pleasure to see old friends who have been fighting each other openly and secretly for more than ten years fail to recognize the gem and make such a huge mistake.

What made him even happier was that Zhou Haichao had caught this "pearl"!
Don’t worry about whether I caught it by accident or not, just tell me whether I caught it or not!
Zhou Haichao couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth as he imagined the wonderful expression that might appear on Zhao Changkong's face after he told him about going back.

Even harder to suppress than Barrett.

"Given Junior Brother Chu's current strength, I think this so-called assessment should be waived, right?"

Just as Zhou Haichao's thoughts were flying, a deep voice sounded in his ears.

"Of course!" Zhou Haichao replied immediately, "Not only does the assessment not need to be conducted, but the distribution of spoils also needs to be revised."

Perhaps Zhou Haichao's talent as a martial artist was indeed limited. However, having served as the director of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School in Northeast Base City for such a long time, his ability as an investment genius was definitely top-notch.

Not to mention those far away, Zheng Lei who is nearby is one of them.

This opportunity to break through to become a God of War is the return of the investment made back then!
Right now, there was another lottery ticket that had even been scratched off waiting for him to invest. How could Zhou Haichao possibly hesitate?
