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

Chapter 4: The Martial Arts School Opens, and a Big Shot Arrives

Mingyue Community is an ordinary residential area.

After saying goodbye to his parents, Lu Yun returned to his room.

He didn't mention the martial arts assessment at all, planning to give them a surprise after receiving the formal contract.

He closed the door, sat cross-legged, and quickly calmed down.

Cultivation was a natural progression for him, given his prior experience in his previous life.

With his five hearts facing the sky, when he assumes this posture, the invisible cosmic energy between heaven and earth seems to respond to his call, turning into specks of light that are drawn into his body, nourishing his limbs and bones along his meridians.

But this is just appearance.

The true transformation originated from the depths of his consciousness.

The mysterious golden core trembled slightly during cultivation, and a wisp of golden energy, a hundred times purer than that outside, quietly emerged and instantly merged into the meridians.

Every cell in his body, as if parched land receiving rain, frantically absorbed this highly efficient energy, undergoing a profound transformation.

More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Lu Yun devoted all his time to cultivation, except for going to school.

In the bedroom, he slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long, stale breath.

Almost simultaneously, a line of information appeared in his mind.

[Achievement Obtained: Spiritualist]

[Achievement Points +5]

Lu Yun remained calm and unsurprised.

"This level of strength is just enough to cross the threshold of a 'basic warrior-level' mentalist."

He stood up, casually clenched his fist, and his knuckles cracked repeatedly as an explosive force gathered in his palm.

"The punching power... is probably around three thousand kilograms." Lu Yun made his judgment.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

It was her mother's gentle voice: "Xiaoyun, your brother-in-law's family—the Meng family's martial arts school—is opening today. They sent over invitations, and your father asked if we want to go."

The Meng Family Martial Arts School has opened?

Lu Yun's eyes flickered slightly.

Their strength has increased dramatically in the past ten days or so, and they are in need of a benchmark to measure it.

He opened the door, saw a hint of hesitation on his parents' faces, and without a moment's hesitation, said, "Yes, of course I'll go."

Meng Family Martial Arts School is located in a prime area of ​​the satellite city.

A newly renovated three-story building was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations in front of the door, with flower baskets lined up from one end of the street to the other, attracting a large number of guests and creating an extraordinary atmosphere.

When Lu Yun's family arrived, Meng Wei and his sister Lu Fang were greeting guests at the door. Upon seeing them, they immediately greeted them with smiles on their faces.

As Lu Jianguo and his wife watched this scene, they felt both proud and somewhat uneasy.

Dressed casually, they stood out slightly from the guests who were all dressed in suits and ties or in their practice clothes.

Only Lu Yun remained calm, as if he were just attending an ordinary gathering.

"In-laws, please come inside!"

Meng De, beaming with pride, came out of the hall and greeted Lu Yun's parents with a loud voice, warmly leading them inside.

As the host today, he was in high spirits, enjoying the feeling of being the center of attention.

The first floor of the martial arts school is a spacious reception hall and training area, which is now filled with banquets.

Meng De, holding a wine glass, led Lu Yun's family around the table, exchanging pleasantries with people from time to time, his words brimming with undisguised self-satisfaction.

"Mr. Wang, you're too kind! I hope you'll continue to support my little martial arts school in the future!"

"Captain Li, your presence is truly an honor for me, Meng! Come, have a drink!"

After attending to all the social obligations, he turned to his in-laws and said with a smile, "In-laws, the approval for our Meng Family Martial Arts School was granted thanks to the Extreme Martial Arts School's intervention. As for relationships, it's all about personal connections."

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough for the surrounding tables to hear clearly, drawing envious glances.

After several rounds of drinks, Meng De stood in the center of the hall, cleared his throat, and his voice echoed throughout the room: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for coming to support me, Meng De! Our Meng family has spared no expense for this martial arts school; the rent and renovations alone have cost tens of millions!"

A perfectly timed gasp and applause erupted from the guests.

Meng De was very satisfied with the results. He waved his hand, pointed to the depths of the training area, and said in an even louder voice, "Money must be spent wisely! Everyone, come and see our martial arts school's 'core competitiveness'!"

Curious, the crowd followed.

Inside the glass-separated professional training area, brand-new instruments gleam with a metallic sheen.

As if introducing a precious treasure, Meng De pointed to an instrument and exclaimed loudly, "This is the latest 'Thor-7' punching power testing machine, with an error rate of less than one in a thousand!"

That's the Phantom-X speed track over there, capable of capturing a dynamic moment of 0.01 seconds!

I dare say that our equipment is the highest configuration available on the market, and its performance is absolutely no worse than that of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy!

"Boss Meng is really generous!"

"This equipment looks very professional!"

The guests were full of praise.

Just then, a deacon rushed over and whispered a few words in Mengde's ear.

Meng De's smug expression froze instantly, then was replaced by a surge of ecstasy and disbelief.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and his voice was even louder than before: "Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me! We have distinguished guests arriving, and we invite you to join me in greeting them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the room was astonished.

Who could be the person that made Mengde so solemn, even requiring all the guests to welcome him together?

Everyone followed, filled with curiosity.

The martial arts school doors were pushed open, and two figures walked in.

Leading the group was Jiang Nian, the head instructor of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. He was slender, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's.

Behind him followed the calm and composed instructor, Xu Hu.

Although the two were in casual clothes, their aura as seasoned warriors was like an invisible giant wave, instantly silencing the entire audience.

Meng De rushed forward, his posture extremely humble: "Chief Instructor Jiang! Instructor Xu! Your presence truly honors our humble establishment!"

Jiang Nian nodded lightly: "Boss Meng, you're too kind. Congratulations."

Xu Hu crossed his arms, skipping all formalities.

However, this was enough to cause an uproar among the surrounding guests.

"It's Jiang Nian, the head instructor of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy!"

"That's Instructor Xu Hu next to him! My god, both of them are Battle General level experts!"

"A warrior at the general level? A big shot who can roam freely in the wilderness, actually coming in person?"

"The Meng family has such influence! They actually managed to get these two powerful figures to come!"

In an instant, the way everyone looked at Mengde changed completely; polite flattery turned into heartfelt awe.

The fact that the Meng family could connect with the martial arts instructors of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy shows that their influence far exceeds their expectations.

Surrounded by admirers, Meng De humbly said, "My friends are giving me face," but his smile grew even brighter, and he was overflowing with satisfaction.

Just then, a figure broke away from the crowd and walked straight towards the brand-new 'Thor-7' punching power testing machine.

He had no interest in the excitement before him; he only wanted to verify the results of his recent cultivation.

This abrupt action immediately made Mengde frown.

Upon recognizing Lu Yun as the newcomer, Meng Wei grew increasingly displeased.

With Chief Instructor Jiang present, on such an honorable occasion, it's a disgrace to the Meng family that their son-in-law is so ill-mannered!

Before he could speak, his son, Meng Fan, his anger barely contained, hissed, "Lu Yun! Are you crazy? Chief Instructor Jiang is here! Don't embarrass yourself, come back here!"

Lu Fang, the older sister, also became anxious and urged repeatedly, "Xiao Yun, come here quickly." Lu's parents were even more embarrassed, feeling that their son's actions were really inappropriate.

Lu Yun turned around helplessly. Just then, Jiang Nian and Xu Hu walked through the crowd and headed straight for him, completely ignoring everyone else.

"Lu Yun, I was just looking for you." Head Instructor Jiang Nian patted his shoulder familiarly. "Have you finished cultivating your genetic energy?"

Xu Hu grinned and said, "Kid, want to show us your skills?"

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

Meng De's radiant smile froze instantly, appearing both comical and bizarre.

Meng Fan's sense of superiority froze on the spot, while Lu Fang and her parents were completely blank in their minds.

Chief Instructor Jiang... Instructor Xu... These two important figures actually came specifically for Lu Yun?

Judging from that friendly tone, they have a very close relationship!

How... is this possible?!

Meng Wei swallowed hard and stammered, "Chief Instructor Jiang...you...know Lu Yun?"

Jiang Nian glanced at him, then looked back at Lu Yun and smiled calmly: "I know him. Lu Yun recently passed our preliminary martial artist assessment."

Quasi-martial artist?

It passed?

Lu Yun?!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"My God! This young aspiring martial artist is a true genius!"

"No wonder Chief Instructor Jiang came in person; it turns out it wasn't for the Meng family at all, but for this young man!"

"The Meng family has a real dragon hidden away!"

These words were like invisible slaps, leaving the Meng family members with a burning sensation on their faces.

Meng Fan, in particular, could not accept that Lu Yun, whom he regarded as mediocre and even needed his family's "charity," was actually the near-martial artist he had always dreamed of!

Lu Yun's parents and sister were even more shocked.

The mother murmured to herself, "Xiao Yun... he's a quasi-martial artist?" The father, Lu Jianguo, looked at his son's calm profile, and the restraint in his heart quietly dissipated, leaving only endless pride.

Jiang Nian stared intently at Lu Yun: "You've mastered it? Want to give it a try?"

Lu Yun nodded; that was what he had planned all along.

"Hey, I'll do it, I'll do it!" Meng De, who had been frozen in place, instantly "came to life," almost running to the punching machine, his face beaming as he personally adjusted it: "Nephew Lu, it's ready, you can start anytime!"

The way he addressed him as "Nephew Lu" was so natural, as if the previous disdain had never existed.

Lu Yun thanked them and walked to the "Thor-7" punching power testing machine. All eyes were on him.

He pulled his right arm back and swung it out suddenly!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the entire testing machine shook violently.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the numbers on the screen.

3310kg!

On his first attempt at cultivating genetic energy, his punching power exceeded three thousand kilograms?!

What kind of monster is this!

"hiss--"

Jiang Nian and Xu Hu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with astonishment. Such talent was truly rare!

No longer caring about formalities or etiquette, Jiang Nian had only one thought in his mind: he had to bring this boy back to the martial arts school immediately!

"You, come with me."

His voice carried an undeniable urgency.

Before he finished speaking, he and Xu Hu tacitly flanked Lu Yun from the left and right, and strode out amidst the stunned gazes of the entire audience.
