Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Primordial God and Demon Avatar

"Xu Qiankun, don't forget, you signed a contract with my Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

Upon hearing Xu Qiankun's request to join the military, Yun Cang immediately became anxious and quickly reminded him.

"Don't worry, Manager Yun. Our military will pay Xu Qiankun the penalty for breach of contract according to the highest standards."

At this moment, Lei Peng also realized what was happening and quickly said with joy.

Something he never dared to dream of actually happened to him.

As for the penalty for breach of contract, it's only a maximum of 300 million. Not to mention Xu Qiankun's future potential, even his current strength as a beginner-level War God is more than enough to cover it.

How many war gods have ever appeared in the entire world?

The answer is less than three thousand three hundred.

Of those 3,300, how many are still alive? Perhaps less than 2,000.

While the number is indeed considerable, when distributed among the five major powers, various base cities, and forces such as the Ultimate Martial Arts School, Thunder Martial Arts School, and HR Alliance, the number becomes quite small.

China has a relatively large number of such military leaders, but the military can only mobilize around three hundred.

Scattered across six major base cities and dozens of satellite cities, they could barely hold the line.

"Xu Qiankun, our Extreme Martial Arts Academy was founded by the world's strongest individual, and we have countless precious cultivation resources behind us..."

Yun Cang wanted to say a few more threatening words, but Xu Qiankun ignored him completely.

"Commander Lei, let's go."

Xu Qiankun, holding Xu Yixin's small hand which was waiting not far away, smiled and said to Lei Peng.

"Yes, yes, let's go right away. I'll arrange for someone to come and help you move."

Lei Peng nodded repeatedly, his face crinkling with smiles.

I was just here to watch the fun, but I never expected such a huge windfall to fall from the sky.

Xu Qiankun took his sister's hand and followed Lei Peng away. As for the breach of contract penalty, someone would come to negotiate that.

"What a pity," Qin Ming sighed as he watched the three figures leave. "Such promising talents, what a waste of time."

However, thinking of Yun Cang's impending doom, Qin Ming's face revealed a gloating smile. "Yun Cang, congratulations, congratulations, you've finally eliminated another competitor for the other geniuses of your Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

"roll!"

Yun Cang let out a low growl with a gloomy expression, picked up his battle sword, and turned to leave.

"Hmph, what's with the arrogance? So what if you barely became a War God? I'll definitely be able to do it in a while," Qin Ming said sourly.

With the big shots gone, the remaining martial artists in the neighborhood looked at each other in bewilderment.

There are only so many residents in Linlang Community, so they all know each other to some extent. It was already surprising enough that Xu Qiankun could become a high-level warrior within half a year of becoming a martial artist, but no one expected that he would actually have the strength of a war god.

The God of War—to ordinary martial artists, that's an incredibly important figure.

"What a pity, our team can't keep someone like that."

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face showed a look of disappointment. Then his gaze fell on the mean woman lying on the ground wailing and the cowardly man hiding in the crowd, not daring to breathe. "However, it's good to sell out God of War Xu. It's still possible to build some goodwill."

......

"Brother, where are we going?"

Xu Yixin grabbed Xu Qiankun's hand and asked, still a little too excited after witnessing her brother's overwhelming power in beating the supervisor.

Before Xu Qiankun could reply, Lei Penglian said, "I've already arranged a villa in the military dependents' martial arts community. You can stay there tonight. Tomorrow, Qiankun and I will go to the Kyoto Military Region headquarters to see Chen Mingtian."

"Chen Mingtian?"

Xu Qiankun looked at Lei Peng in surprise.

Chen Mingtian knew, of course, that was the military's chief officer in Kyoto base city, who had made countless contributions to protecting Kyoto base city.

The fact that such an important person was sent to talk to him shows how much he is valued.

"Yes, it's Chen Mingtian, the one you know," Lei Peng nodded. "With your talent, it would be a waste for you to stay in Dongyang City. Going to the Kyoto base city would definitely be the best choice."

"Moreover, the military family martial arts school over there is the best school in the country. With your sister's grades, getting into Kyoto University or the top military academy in China in the future will not be a problem."

The following morning, Xu Qiankun left a villa in the military dependents' martial arts community and traveled with Lei Peng to Kyoto Base City.

After a five-hour drive, the two finally arrived at their destination, a huge defensive base specifically built to defend against monster attacks.

Xu Qiankun and Lei Peng walked into the conference room, where a middle-aged man in military uniform with four gold stars on his shoulders was already waiting.

Despite his middle-aged appearance, he is actually almost eighty years old.

"Report"

Lei Peng entered and saluted.

"You must be Qiankun, come and sit down."

Chen Mingtian ignored Lei Peng and instead focused his gaze on Xu Qiankun, warmly inviting him over.

"Thank you, Commander Chen."

Xu Qiankun sat down opposite Chen Mingtian as instructed.

"Thank you for choosing to join our military."

He had just sat down when he saw Chen Mingtian stand up solemnly and give a military salute.

"What are you doing, sir?"

This left Xu Qiankun completely bewildered. He even suspected that the other party was trying to morally blackmail him and withhold any benefits from him.

"Don't be nervous, you deserve this respect." Chen Mingtian seemed to see through his thoughts and sighed as he explained, "Since the establishment of the base city, our military has been guarding the war base and has always been on the front line of resisting the invasion of monsters. The mortality rate of martial artists is far higher than that of other forces. Therefore, apart from martial artists trained in military academies and those who have just passed the assessment, powerful martial artists are basically unwilling to join us."

"You are the first person to become a God of War and then actively request to join."

"I'm not a war god yet."

Xu Qiankun was a little embarrassed, because neither his strength nor his battle record had reached the standard of a war god.

"Haha, it's nothing. You're the first person to be a high-level warrior general and a high-level mentalist general," Chen Mingtian laughed heartily, then his expression turned serious. "Let's talk about the terms."

Xu Qiankun immediately sat up straight, looking all ears.

Chen Mingtian said, "First of all, let's be polite before resorting to force. If you join the military, you must abide by the military's rules. As a powerful martial artist, you have your own training rhythm, so you don't need to do drills or training. However, you must abide by the discipline that soldiers should follow."

"That's natural," Xu Qiankun nodded. "Since I've decided to join the military, I'm mentally prepared to abide by the rules."

"That's good." Chen Mingtian breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, fearing that Xu Qiankun, having spent some time with martial artists outside, might not be willing to be restrained. "Then let's talk about what we can offer you."

"Based on your strength, you can directly obtain the rank of Senior Colonel, and you can select four people from military warriors to form a team or join other teams."

"We will resolve your contract issue with the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, and will grant you the right to reside in a detached villa in the Langhuan residential area, as well as 30 billion in start-up capital and 100 billion in special funds for secret techniques. You can use the start-up capital as you wish, but the special funds can only be used in the military's 'War God Shop'."

"30 billion yuan in start-up capital and 100 billion yuan in special funds"

Xu Qiankun's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

He's so poor he's practically urinating blood. He has less than three million in his bank account, not even enough to buy a decent throwing knife.

With the support of the military, he was able to upgrade his weaponry immediately and dare to confront lord-level monsters head-on.

"What are your salary and benefits requirements?"

Chen Mingtian asked.

"Everything is fine," Xu Qiankun nodded, and then continued, "However, I have a few more requests that I hope the military can grant."

"Okay, tell me."

Chen Mingtian did not take on too much responsibility.

"First, my younger sister is thirteen years old and in the second year of junior high school. She will definitely be coming to live with me in Kyoto base city. I hope to solve her schooling problem and send her to the military family martial arts school."

"This is the proper thing to do. Even if you hadn't asked, we would have arranged for someone to take care of it."

"Secondly, if I die fighting monsters in the future, I hope that all my inheritance will go to my sister, so that she won't be left with nothing."

"Don't worry about that. Our martial arts community has a very comprehensive supervision and review mechanism. Every family member of a martial arts practitioner has a dedicated person to take care of them, so there will absolutely be no problems."

"Third, it's too troublesome to form my own team. I hope you can help me introduce a more reliable War God Squad."
