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

Jiang Nian and Xu Hu did not return to the Extreme Martial Arts School in Yangzhou.

They took Lu Yun directly onto the maglev train bound for Jiangnan Base City, amidst the shocked gazes of all the guests and the stunned stares of the Meng family.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Nian and Xu Hu remained silent, their eyes fixed intently on Lu Yun, as if they were looking at a rare treasure.

The train sped along and soon arrived at Jiangnan Base City.

This is the center of the entire Jiangnan region, where martial artists can be seen everywhere, and its atmosphere is far superior to that of satellite cities like Yangzhou.

Jiang Nian led Lu Yun smoothly all the way to the fourth floor of the Jiangnan Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

The office door slid open automatically, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in a black Tang suit, holding two smooth jade balls in his hands, sitting calmly on the sofa.

He didn't get up, but his gaze immediately fell on Lu Yun.

Lu Yun's heart skipped a beat. This person should be Zhuge Tao, one of the four giants of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City.

The man didn't introduce himself, but simply smiled faintly and said:

"I heard it from Jiang Nian."

"Young man, you've got some confidence." The jade ball in his hand slowly spun, making a soft clinking sound. "You like gambling?"

"Come on, let's show off today."

"The contract will not let you down."

……

The testing area is several times larger than that of the Yangzhong Martial Arts School, and the equipment is also more sophisticated.

Without wasting any words, Lu Yun stepped directly onto the strength testing machine.

He took a deep breath, and the genetic energy within his body surged like a river, converging on his right fist.

No unnecessary movements, just a straight punch!

boom!

The metal target emitted a deafening roar.

The numbers on the screen skyrocketed before finally freezing.

3505kg

Next up was the speed test.

66m/s

Jiang Nian and Xu Hu were able to remain calm.

Zhuge Tao, however, paused slightly in his hand holding the jade ball, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Finally, there is the neurological response test.

Lu Yun walked into the fully enclosed testing room. This time, he was going to give it his all.

"Beep—Test begins."

A cold, electronic voice rang out, and six red laser beams shot out.

Lu Yun didn't even move his feet; he simply swayed slightly and easily dodged the attack.

"Beep! Passed the preliminary martial artist standard."

"Beep! Beginner Warrior standard passed."

……

"Beep! Advanced warrior standard passed."

The electronic voice broadcasts faster and faster, but Lu Yun remains calm and composed.

"Junior Warrior Standard, Activated."

The number of laser beams instantly surged to thirty-two, with their speed and frequency increasing several times over!

Outside the testing room, Zhuge Tao, Jiang Nian, and Xu Hu all unconsciously slowed their breathing.

"They're here," Zhuge Tao said in a low voice.

Inside the testing room, Lu Yun's expression finally changed.

His countless life-or-death battles in his past life had become instinct, ingrained in his every move.

His talent for "absolute calmness" allows his brain to function like a supercomputer, instantly analyzing the trajectories of all lasers.

A faint trace of spiritual energy emanated from him, allowing him to perceive the surrounding space to an unbelievable degree.

His movement technique has already reached the "realm of subtlety"!

He moved nimbly within that small space, his body twisting, folding, and dodging at all sorts of incredible angles.

Every movement was perfectly timed, with not a single wasted effort.

The laser beam grazed his clothes and hair, but could never touch him.

"Ding! Elementary Warrior standard passed."

But the testing didn't stop!

"Intermediate-level Warrior Standard, Activated!"

The laser beams became even more ferocious, their number and speed soaring once again, almost completely sealing off any theoretical space for evasion!

Lu Yun's dodging movements became faster and faster, his figure leaving afterimages amidst the dense red light.

Each of his breaths was precise and long, his genetic energy operating at high speed to sustain this terrifying consumption.

finally--

"Beep—Test complete."

The final results were displayed on a huge screen outside the testing room.

[Neural Response Test Results]

[Junior Warrior - Perfect!]

[Intermediate-level General - Excellent!]

On the huge screen, the two lines of striking results caused the three senior executives of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy to momentarily lose their composure.

Novice warrior, perfect!

Intermediate-level warrior, excellent!

This means that Lu Yun has reached a level in terms of neural reaction speed that surpasses that of advanced warriors and can even rival that of intermediate warriors!

This is absolutely not the achievement a quasi-martial artist who has just cultivated genetic energy should have!

"Smack."

With a soft sound, the two warm jade balls in Zhuge Tao's hands stopped spinning and gently touched each other.

A hint of undisguised amazement finally appeared in his eyes, which seemed to see through everything.

"They certainly have the confidence."

Zhuge Tao spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but exceptionally clear in the quiet testing area.

After a moment of contemplation, a resolute smile appeared on his face.

"Young people with ability deserve the treatment they deserve."

Zhuge Tao looked directly at Lu Yun, no longer probing, and openly stated his conditions:

"The contract we prepared for you regarding the villa in the Central District remains unchanged."

"Secondly, I'll give you 50 million in start-up capital."

"Finally, and most importantly—regarding your personal training. Whether it's guiding techniques, movement techniques, or attack techniques, I'm giving you a purchase limit of 200 million from the martial arts school's manual library."

"How's this contract?"

A ripple of emotion stirred within Lu Yun.

This contract is more than just generous!

In his memories of his previous life, even the exceptionally talented Luo Feng did not seem to receive such a contract when he first entered the Limit Martial Arts Academy.

The Ultimate Martial Arts Academy represents a significant investment in him.

"I have no objection," Lu Yun replied crisply.

"it is good."

Zhuge Tao smiled with satisfaction, his appreciation for Lu Yun's composure growing stronger.

"Young man, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and continue to work hard. The path of a martial artist has only just begun."

He stood up and nodded slightly to Lu Yun: "My name is Zhuge Tao. If you have any problems that you can't solve in Jiangnan Base City in the future, you can come to me."

After saying that, he turned around and left the testing area decisively.

Only after Zhuge Tao's figure disappeared did Jiang Nian and Xu Hu breathe a long sigh of relief.

They walked quickly to Lu Yun, their faces showing a mixture of excitement and emotion.

"Lu Yun, congratulations!" Jiang Nian patted Lu Yun's shoulder forcefully, his eyes filled with fervor. "Two hundred million in access rights! You must make good use of them and buy the most suitable secret manuals for you!"

"Kid, you've got real talent!" Xu Hu grinned widely. "You have a bright future ahead of you; we're all watching!"

……

With the matter settled, the subsequent procedures sped up.

The contract was signed, and the identity information was entered into the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's internal system.

That afternoon, Lu Yun brought his parents to the detached villa in the Central Community.

When Lu Jianguo and Wen Lan looked at the luxurious three-story villa in front of them, which covered more than a thousand square meters and had its own garden and swimming pool, and listened to Jiang Nian explain that it was a property awarded to their son by the martial arts school, the two were completely dumbfounded.

They entered the villa, their hands carefully stroking the smooth, mirror-like furniture, their feet on the soft carpet, feeling as if they were dreaming.

"Xiaoyun...this...this is really for us?" Mother Wen Lan's voice trembled slightly.

"Yes." Looking at his parents' shocked yet joyful expressions, Lu Yun felt a warm current welling up in his heart. "Dad, Mom, this will be our home from now on."

Father Lu Jianguo paced back and forth in the living room a few times before finally stopping in front of the huge French windows. Looking at the neatly trimmed lawn outside, this usually taciturn man's back was no longer reserved, and his posture became ramrod straight.

Another ten days or so later.

In the northern suburbs of Jiangnan Base City, there is an abandoned town under strict military control.

This is the venue for this martial arts combat assessment.

For Lu Yun, this was nothing more than a formality.

For him, hunting these H-class and G-class monsters held absolutely no interest.

In his previous life, he faced an endless tide of beasts, including more powerful and cunning F-class and E-class monsters.

The current assessment is like a battle-hardened veteran returning to the beginner's village.

The only surprise was...

[Defeat G-rank monster: Armored Bull]

[Achievement: First Steps]

[Achievement Points +1]

I killed a monster I hadn't killed in my previous life and earned achievement points.

After the assessment, Lu Yun unsurprisingly became a martial artist with the highest score.

"The start of this life seems to be a resounding success, impeccable."

Lu Yun pondered calmly.

"But this seemingly powerful talent is merely a gift from the golden core in my sea of ​​consciousness. Its energy is constantly being consumed, and it will eventually run out."

He knew very well that once the energy of the Golden Core was exhausted, his cultivation speed would return to normal.

With the foundation of [Spiritual Companionship], one might become a powerful spiritualist, but the limit is likely to be the peak of the God of War.

Whether I can break through to the planetary level in this lifetime is still uncertain.

This level of talent might be considered quite good on Earth.

But what does it amount to when viewed in the grand scheme of the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, or even the vast primordial universe?

Compared to those beings born with extraordinary bloodlines, my advantage is insignificant.

"The cycle of reincarnation is my foundation. I cannot be complacent with the success of this life; I must broaden my horizons."

Lu Yun set two clear goals for himself in this life.

"First, try to get as many achievement points as possible."

Every achievement is the foundation for the next life, and even the life after that.

Defeating monsters you've never killed before, reaching new levels of strength, completing certain special events... these can all trigger achievements.

"Second, make contact with Luo Feng."

By staying by his side and participating in his endeavors, I will inevitably gain more opportunities and unlock more achievements.
