Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 1: A 16-year-old advanced martial arts student!

Will we win?

Some people expressed their concerns.

"We will win."

Gu Ce smiled confidently and stroked the white hair on his head.

Picking up his training wooden sword, Gu Ce looked at his opponent.

Opposite him was a burly man wielding a knife. Compared to the longsword in Gu Ce's hand, his knife appeared much heavier, almost like a weapon used in actual combat.

This is a martial arts competition on the arena, where you can freely choose your weapons. But the way the opponent is acting clearly shows that they intend to rely on the advantage of their weapons to defeat Gu Ce.

A bit of a scoundrel.

But as I said before, we will win.

The burly man stared fiercely at Gu Ce, his broadsword seemingly itching for a strike. He swung it down instantly, but Gu Ce parried it with his wooden sword and repelled him.

"Again!" the burly man roared, brandishing his broadsword.

Gu Ce raised an eyebrow, choosing not to engage in a direct confrontation, given that his weaponry was at a disadvantage.

The burly man's sweeping slashes were easily dodged by Gu Ce's elegant movements. Taking advantage of the gap in the man's attack, Gu Ce flashed behind him and placed his wooden sword directly against the man's neck.

"I...I lost," the burly man said in frustration. He knew he might lose, but he didn't expect to lose so quickly.

"Clap clap clap!"

"As expected of a 16-year-old advanced student at the martial arts school! Xiao Ce, your movement skills are almost at the standard of a martial artist, aren't they?"

"You're still far from it, Brother Wang." Gu Ce smiled and put the wooden sword back in his hand. If you looked closely, you would find that he hadn't even broken a sweat. He had defeated his opponent with ease.

"You're way off," the man called Brother Wang shook his head, then chuckled. "When are you planning to take the preliminary martial artist assessment? I remember you were a little lacking in strength last time, weren't you?"

"I'll participate at the beginning of next month!" Gu Ce replied with a smile.

"So confident?" Brother Wang was taken aback, then laughed even louder. "Come on, come on, let's test you! If you really become a sixteen-year-old quasi-martial artist, you absolutely must join my Thunder Martial Arts Academy! I'll make the decision, I'll give you the best treatment, and becoming a war god in the future is entirely possible!"

"Then we'll have to rely on Brother Wang," Gu Ce said with a smile.

Upon arriving at the testing area reserved for advanced trainees, they found it unoccupied. Even those who were there quickly made way for Gu Ce and his supervisor upon their arrival.

Standing in front of the punching power testing machine, Gu Ce took a deep breath, putting his body in the best possible state to exert force.

Immediately afterwards!

"Bang!"

Gu Ce slammed his right fist into the punching bag, causing it to shake violently.

A line of numbers appeared on the machine's display screen—"923kg!"

"good!"

Wang Heng couldn't help but shout it out.

She's only 16!

While his peers had just become students at the martial arts school, Gu Ce had already reached a level that they could only look up to.

Such a genius, there's probably no one like him in the entire Jiangnan Base City, right?

Wang Heng was secretly relieved that he had managed to bring the Thunder Martial Arts School to him!

Now let's see how those people from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy can show off in front of me!

Gu Ce's future achievements will at least reach the level of a war god!

Wang Heng had already planned to send him to the global headquarters of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy for training after he passed the martial arts combat assessment. He knew very well that Gu Ce's strongest point was his movement technique!

"Keep going, keep going."

Wang Heng urged, as Gu Ce had last taken a test here a month ago, and he was eager to know how much Gu Ce had improved.

We arrived at the runway.

Whoosh!

Gu Ce moved with elegant posture and extremely fast speed, almost like a gust of wind.

Wang Heng was secretly alarmed and turned to look at the screen.

29.9 m/s

An astonishing statistic.

Wang Heng remembered that Gu Ce's speed was only 26.5 m/s in the last test, right? It improved by three meters per second in just over a month?

That's a terrifying talent.

Next is the neurological response test.

Stepping inside a circle with a diameter of 3.6 meters, one is surrounded by a hazy red light.

The surrounding machines continuously fired rubber bullets at Gu Ce in the circle.

"Mastering the subtle level! To reach this level at sixteen, I've wasted half my life."

Wang Heng was secretly alarmed.

Gu Ce moved nimbly within the circle, dodging bullet after bullet. With his superb agility, this level of testing was a piece of cake for him!

Unsurprisingly, the final result was excellent.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Wang Heng said "good" three times, which shows how happy he was.

"Brother Wang, how is it?" Gu Ce asked with a smile.

"Excellent! You can't find anyone with more talent than you in the entire Jiangnan Base City." Wang Heng praised him without reservation.

"Once you pass the martial arts combat assessment, I will recommend you to headquarters! At that time, the world's second strongest fighter, Thor, the founder of our Thunder Martial Arts School, might even personally come to guide you."

Gu Ce nodded; of course he knew of Thor's name.

"I won't say more. I'm sure the practical assessment won't be too difficult for you. Go back and prepare well, and tell your family while you're at it," Wang Heng said with a smile. "Going to the global headquarters elite training camp, I won't be back so soon."

"Thank you, Brother Wang!"

Although Thunder Martial Arts School is slightly inferior to Limit Martial Arts School, Gu Ce knows about the relationship between Thunder God and Hong. The two are so close that they practically share a pair of pants.

Even if the gap is large, Gu Ce is confident that he can leave the apprentice level and reach the planetary level in the shortest time without relying on those things!

At that time, things on Earth will be of little use.

Of course, apart from Kirishima and a few other historical sites.

This confidence comes from being a time traveler, and also from having talent.

That's right, Gu Ce is a time traveler.

After transmigrating to this world and learning that it was the Swallowed Star, Gu Ce has been working hard to train his body so that one day he can become a martial artist and participate in the later plot, instead of just being a spectator or even dying at the hands of monsters.

Fortunately, after transmigrating, his body did not disappoint Gu Ce's efforts.

In his first year as a martial arts school student, he became a senior student. In just over six months, he entered the apprentice level with the aptitude of an Earthling. And this is not the full extent of his talent!

Six eyes.

Upon reaching the apprentice level, he awakened this ability inherited from a certain well-known 2.5-year-old.

However, the effects of their abilities are completely different, with almost only the names being the same.

When this ability came to the world of Swallowed Star, it became the ability to directly observe the operation of the spatial laws in the universe. If the Demon Killer Clan is the darling of the spatial laws, then Gu Ce is the most beloved child of the spatial laws!

In addition, the six eyes bring extremely strong learning ability and a 360° field of vision, which can see through the enemy's movements and predict the enemy's next move, bringing great convenience. Most importantly, it can be controlled freely without the side effects in the comics.

Gu Ce also had a vague feeling that as his strength improved, this mutated six-eyed creature would bring him even greater surprises.

With this talent, becoming a Space Venerable will be no problem at all in the future, let alone anything else.

With the mental uplift brought by Earthlings, Hong could become a true god, so why can't I?

I am the strongest!
