Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Pair of Double Pupils

"I never imagined that I'd only unlocked this cheat code after 18 years since I transmigrated to this world..."

Fang Yi braced his hands against the sink.

The mirror reflected Fang Yi's image, with a pair of pupils encased within his left eye socket. The outer pupil, like a jewel, covered the inner black star pupil, the two pupils clearly separated, and at this moment, they faintly emitted bursts of dark purple light.

It seems unlike anything in this world.

Before their eyes, golden characters appeared on the mirror.

[Growth rate of "double pupils" - 0.3%]

[Unlock progress of "?" - 0%]

Fang Yi closed his eyes slightly again, and the two golden characters and numbers that had appeared before him vanished instantly.

"Three days later is July 1st, which is also the day to go to the martial arts school to take the preliminary martial arts exam. The timing of this awakening is just right."

Fang Yi then washed his face and prepared to return to his room.

In his previous life, Fang Yi died suddenly in front of his computer due to overwork and was reincarnated into this world.

When they learned that this world was the swallowing of the starry sky.

Fang Yi also strengthened his belief in becoming a martial artist.

Even though he didn't have any cheat codes at the time, Fang Yi didn't back down in the slightest. Although he often heard people say before he transmigrated, "The Devouring Stage is a big stage, but don't come if you're a minor character."

But if you really time-travel, how could you possibly miss the chance to become a martial artist?

Moreover, Devouring the World has another advantage: even if you don't have any cheat codes, you can choose to latch onto a powerful figure. By latching onto Luo Feng, living a life of luxury is definitely not a problem.

This is the best option for those time travelers without any special abilities.

Fang Yi only wanted to cultivate with all his might, to go as far as he could on the path of martial arts, never giving up and leaving no regrets. Now, with the awakening of this double pupil eye, his ambition to be extraordinary has been further solidified.

"There seem to be other changes in my body as well. I feel lighter and more agile than before, and I can control myself much better. My strength also seems to have increased significantly..."

Fang Yi looked at the metal doorknob in his hand, which he had accidentally broken.

I can clearly feel that my physical abilities have improved a lot since I awakened my double pupils!

"Go to the martial arts gym for a test, and while you're at it, find someone to fix the doorknob."

Let's tidy it up a bit.

Fang Yi entered the living room and glanced back at the small house where he had lived for several years before leaving.

The house is small, with an area of ​​only 32 square meters, and the structure is one bedroom and one living room.

But one person is enough to live there. Fang Yi grew up in an orphanage as far back as he can remember. The director told him that he was placed in front of the orphanage gate right after he was born and still does not know the identity of his parents.

Fang Yi, however, did not care about such matters.

With memories of her past life, she showed a maturity far beyond her peers from a young age, which made many people in the orphanage feel sorry for her. By the time she entered adolescence, she had already begun to try to live independently.

"We won't be able to stay here much longer..."

The words had barely left his lips.

Fang Yi carefully closed the door and left.

There is a martial arts gym nearby in Yangzhou, where I live, just a half-hour subway ride away.

On the road.

Arriving at his familiar steamed bun shop, Fang Yi bought four meat buns and a large cup of hot soy milk, as usual. After quickly finishing his breakfast, he walked for about ten minutes to reach the entrance of the martial arts school.

The martial arts school was enormous, far exceeding the size of a typical school. Many students were already coming and going.

Enter the martial arts school.

Fang Yi immediately went to a corner of the training hall.

There was a punching power testing machine in front of them, used by trainees to test their strength. They were looking at the bullseye.

Fang Yi assumed a boxing stance.

The power rose from the ground, flowed through his waist, and surged through his arms. Taking a deep breath, Fang Yi unleashed his full force, throwing a punch—"Bang!"

A strong wind blew back and forth.

There were few people around, and no one paid any attention to Fang Yi in the corner.

The punching power value was immediately displayed at the top of the screen.

"3382 kg!"

Looking at the data above, Fang Yi immediately stopped his movements and slowly exhaled. A look of shock flashed in his eyes.

"It really did improve..."

A week ago, Yi tested his punching power.

It only reached 1057kg.

But now it has reached 3382kg!

Based on his score from the previous week, Fang Yi had basically passed the punching power test, so he focused on training his nerve reaction and speed.

There has been almost a week without testing, but there has definitely been improvement this week.

Based on this calculation, the boost from awakening the double pupils is close to 2300kg.

"Could it be that the higher the unlocking progress, the greater the improvement?" Fang Yi rested his chin on his hand, looking at the score that had been reset in front of him, and pondered for a moment.

Now, my punching power has exceeded the required level.

Three days later is July 1st.

With these results, passing the preliminary martial artist assessment should be no problem... but that's not enough.

"I need to demonstrate my current strength as much as possible, gain the attention of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, and get to the God of War training camp as quickly as possible."

……

My thoughts returned to normal.

Luo Feng and the others beside Fang Yi had already started talking about mental cultivators.

Instructor Jiang Nian then added, "Alright, that's enough for today. You three can go home now. Remember to get your certificates stamped and your citizen identities entered. We'll notify you in a few days... Fang Yi, you stay."

Jiang Nian finally turned to Fang Yi, dismissing the other three and leaving him behind.

They then took him back to the sixth floor.

All I saw was...

In the vast martial arts hall, the silver-haired man in black robes and the head instructor Wu Tong stood side by side, seemingly waiting for something.

When Fang Yi arrived, Wu Tong and the silver-haired man in black robes both greeted him with smiles.

"You're really hardworking. Even after the assessment is over, you're still wearing your black belt," the silver-haired man in black robes said, seemingly jokingly but also approvingly.

"The path of martial arts is boundless," Fang Yi replied simply.

The silver-haired man's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he nodded in satisfaction. He then looked at Wu Tong, who in turn asked a question.

"You didn't use your full strength in this assessment. Although you passed, we want to see where your limits are. And as far as I know, your results were excellent, yet you're not even a senior student... Isn't that a bit too modest?"

"Was your previous low profile all for the sake of shining in this assessment? If that's what you think, then congratulations, you've successfully caught our attention."

Wu Tong spoke with seriousness and earnestness.

Jiang Hua, standing to one side, was also looking at Fang Yi with great curiosity and seriousness.

Fang Yi could feel the three intense gazes.

A smile finally appeared on that calm, expressionless face.

"Alright, becoming a martial artist is just my first step. My current goal is to enter the God of War training camp."

Fang Yi's calm and powerful words echoed in the hall.

The silver-haired man in the black robe wore an expression that said, "I knew it."

"Alright, then prove it to us!"

Fang Yi didn't say anything more, but turned around and walked to the punching power testing machine at the edge, still blindfolded and in a punching stance as before.

With impeccable form and maximum efficiency, he unleashed a lightning-fast punch—"Bang!"

During the three days that Fang Yi awakened his double pupils, he did not waste a single moment.

This punch represented the pinnacle of his power at that moment...
