Swallowing the Stars: Becoming a God Starting with a Hundred Generations of Talent

Chapter 12 Several years have passed, and the museum master, Hong!

Lu Yun received many phone calls from home.

He explained directly that he had awakened his talent as a spiritualist.

It reassured my family.

The next day, Lu Yun first received a message from Zhu happy.

In a simple office at the headquarters of the Jiangnan Military Region, Zhu happy pushed a silver USB drive over.

"The Fundamentals of Spiritual Mastery," Zhu happy said succinctly. "This is far more valuable than the materials you discarded."

His sharp gaze fell on Lu Yun, with a hint of approval: "Your mental strength has reached the threshold of a beginner war god. Eighteen years old, a very good start, keep up the good work."

"Thank you very much, senior." Lu Yun accepted it solemnly, as it was the thing he needed most right now.

I just got back from the military region, and the people from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy have arrived.

The newcomer was still Zhuge Tao, but this time, he was followed by a fiery red figure.

Her tight-fitting combat suit accentuated her breathtaking curves, and her long black hair was tied up high.

She wore an exquisite gold mask, revealing only a pair of cold, frosty eyes and a straight, upturned nose.

is her.

It was that mask.

Lu Yun was taken aback...

But he quickly regained his composure.

He knew that the woman in front of him did not recognize him.

"Lu Yun, let me introduce you," Zhuge Tao said with a smile. "This is the inspector sent by headquarters, the alluring councilor."

"A flamboyant councilor." Lu Yun nodded slightly.

Her gaze lingered briefly on him from behind the alluring mask. She raised her wrist, and a virtual light screen was projected in front of Lu-Yun.

"The 'Genius Development Program' devised for you by the headquarters' top management." Her voice came from beneath the mask.

On the light screen, a list of rewards was displayed.

[Physical fitness reaches 'Intermediate Warrior' level, reward: 50 billion Chinese Yuan, one 'Emerald Crystal'...]

[Physical fitness reaches 'Advanced Warrior' level, reward: 300 billion Chinese Yuan, one 'Dragon Blood'...]

[Physical attributes reach 'Elementary War God' level, reward: 800 billion Chinese Yuan, 'Black God Set'...]

……

That's quite a large sum.

"Take a look." The alluring voice remained icy. "If there are no problems, then confirm the signing."

She maintained a professional and businesslike attitude throughout.

The rewards displayed on the screen were incredibly generous.

But Lu Yun's gaze immediately fell on the prefix of each reward—[Physical Attributes].

Once his physical abilities catch up and reach the level of a War God... at that time, his psychic power will probably be at the peak of the War God level.

He looked up and met the enchanting, cold mask.

"I agree."

The gaze behind the alluring mask seemed to flicker slightly. She merely nodded slightly, uttered no words, retracted the light screen, and turned to leave.

Zhuge Tao laughed and said, "Lu Zhanshen, you're amazing!"

……

Five months have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the quiet room, Lu Yun sat cross-legged.

Of the ten dark flying knives suspended in front of him, four suddenly trembled and transformed into four black death lines, silently intersecting in the narrow space with trajectories as precise as computer control.

Four!

From three to four handles, it may seem like only one more handle, but the total amount of mental energy required and the precision of control it demands increase exponentially.

Now, his mental strength is truly that of a 'medium-level war god'!

The four throwing knives were launched simultaneously, their power comparable to four times the full force of a mid-level war god!

His mental strength improved by leaps and bounds, and his physical fitness did not suffer either.

Three months ago, his physical abilities had already broken through to the 'Intermediate Warrior' level, and the first reward from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy was delivered to him—the Emerald Crystal.

It was a fist-sized green crystal containing immense life energy.

Absorbed overnight, transformed completely.

The next morning, Lu Yun stood in front of the punching power testing machine and casually threw a punch.

boom!

The numbers on the screen jumped rapidly, finally settling on an astonishing number—

21580kg!

Before absorbing the power, his punching strength had just reached the threshold of a mid-level warrior at 16000 kg. Overnight, it increased by more than 5,000 kg!

His physical body is at the level of a "medium-level warrior," and his mental power is at the level of a "medium-level war god."

Lu Yun today is a terrifying war god disguised as a warrior!

Despite his rapid improvement in strength, Lu Yun did not slack off in the slightest.

He had already thoroughly memorized the "Basic Methods of Spiritual Mindfulness Master" that Senior Zhu happy had given him.

This is not just a guide on how to use telekinesis in combat, but more like an encyclopedia for telekinetic practitioners, encompassing everything.

Lu Yun had already mastered most of the content.

But his attention was drawn to one of the more inconspicuous corners.

The teachings mention that a powerful spiritualist's mental energy is not merely brute force used to control objects and kill enemies, but can also be refined to the point of being invisible, transforming into countless unseen tentacles to perceive and manipulate the most fundamental structure of matter.

One of its applications is weapon crafting.

This discovery stirred something within Lu Yun.

For months, aside from his cultivation, he devoted most of his energy to this research.

Inside the quiet room, Lu Yun sat cross-legged, the A5-grade alloy battle sword that had once killed Shadow Cat silently hovering in front of him.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his immense spiritual power flowed like mercury, silently seeping into the blade.

Tried again and again, failed again and again.

Just today, as he once again channeled his mental energy into the blade, attempting to untangle the chaotic metal structure—

hum-

[Your mental power is now incredibly refined; you have touched the threshold of the art of weapon crafting. You have entered the realm of weapon crafting.]

[Achievement Acquired: Beginner in Weapon Forging]

[Achievement Points +5]

[Note: When the next life begins, you can choose the innate talent related to 'Weapon Refiner']

A genuine joy instantly bloomed on Lu Yun's face.

"Just as I suspected! My guess was right!"

He was thrilled.

The achievement system of this "Hundred Worlds Mall" is indeed not limited to improving combat skills and strength!

Life skills, support professions... these can also be earned through achievements, and can be transformed into true talents in the next life!

...

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In South America, at the exit of Civilization No. 9, a ripple spread through space, and a figure silently emerged.

It was Lu Yun.

Compared to three years ago, he still stands tall and imposing, exuding a sense of authority with every gesture.

"Unfortunately, my mental capacity is still not enough..." A trace of regret flashed through Lu Yun's mind. "I failed to trigger the elite mission in the ruins."

Now, thanks to the accumulation of countless resources and arduous training, his physical abilities have finally reached the threshold of "Elementary War God".

His mental power reached the terrifying "Peak of the God of War"!

……

The headquarters of the Global Extreme Martial Arts Academy is located in an extremely simple and quiet room.

Hong, dressed in black, sat cross-legged in meditation.

Lu Yun appeared at the door of the quiet room and bowed respectfully.

"The curator."

Hong slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on Lu Yun, making Lu Yun feel that he was being seen through from the inside out.

Lu Yun didn't say much. With a thought, a brand-new Black God Set appeared out of thin air and hovered between the two of them.

"This is the second Black God set I brought out from the ruins. As agreed, I'm handing it over to the martial arts school."

A faint smile finally appeared on Hong's face, and he nodded: "Very good."

His gaze lingered on Lu Yun for a moment before his voice rang out calmly: "Your physical attributes are at the level of a beginner-level War God, but your mental strength has reached the peak of a War God. Overall, your strength is at the level of a high-level War God."

"Starting today, the 'Genius Cultivation Program' designed for you by headquarters has officially ended."

Lu Yun understood.

"Great strength also means you need to shoulder greater responsibility." Hong's voice remained calm. "From now on, you will need to fight for the survival of the human race and earn 'merit points'."

"Merit points can be exchanged for anything you want here, including secret techniques that surpass the level of a War God, or even more powerful weapons."

These words officially opened a door for Lu Yun to a higher level.

Hong looked at Lu Yun and asked, "You need a position to make things easier for you. Tell me, what position do you want?"

Lu Yun pondered for a moment.

With his current strength, he is more than qualified to serve as the commander-in-chief of a military region or the highest-ranking official of a certain base city.

But that wasn't his ambition; what he needed was freedom.

"Master," Lu Yun raised his head, his gaze firm, "I want a position that can oversee the entire Jiangnan Base City and handle the highest-level crisis events."

A hint of approval flashed in Hong's eyes.

Seeking neither comfort nor hardship, but only battle. This is the true nature of a martial artist.

"Jiangnan Base City, Inspector," Hong said succinctly. "Oversees the entire Jiangnan region, with the power of all martial artists from the Ultimate Martial Arts Schools within its jurisdiction, which can be mobilized in emergencies. Has the authority to act first and report later when facing beast tides or human traitors."

This is an incredibly powerful position, wielding immense authority and influence.

"Thank you, Master." Lu Yun bowed slightly.

"Go." Hong waved his hand and closed his eyes again. "The future of humanity rests on the shoulders of you young people."
