Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 13 A Betting Battle? Line up, one by one!

"This is Jiangnan Pavilion. Currently, only three students live here, all of whom are from Jiangnan Base City." Yang Hui led the way for Gu Ce with some restraint.

This was something the museum owner personally instructed me to do!

Even the instructors at the training camp rarely see the gym leader, let alone the gym leader. Just who is this young man? His strength seems to rival that of some war gods. Could he be the gym leader's...?

They don't even look alike.

No, I can't let my mind wander!

Yang Hui interrupted his own thoughts and quickly led Gu Ce into the Jiangnan Pavilion.

"Shi Jiang, Zhao Ruo, Luo Feng!"

Immediately, three figures poked their heads out almost simultaneously.

"Another newcomer?" Zhao Ruo's voice sounded strange. Luo Feng had just arrived last month, and now another one is here?

When did so many promising talents appear in Jiangnan Base City?

"Gu Ce!" Luo Feng recognized the person and exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Ce glanced at him and immediately understood that Luo Feng had already demonstrated his talent and joined the elite training camp ahead of schedule, just as he had said. He smiled and nodded.

"You know him? That makes things easier. You... um, you explain the rules to him. I'm leaving now." Yang Hui thought for a moment, then swallowed the words "Please take good care of him."

It's still uncertain who will take care of whom.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Zhao Ruo patted her chest confidently. "With me, his senior sister, here, he won't suffer any losses, hmm? Haven't you said that before?"

"You're very strong." Shi Jiang frowned and looked at Gu Ce.

Hearing Shi Jiang say this, Zhao Ruo turned around in surprise. "Junior Brother, how old are you this year?"

"I just turned sixteen in July." Gu Ce didn't try to hide it.

"Hiss!" *2

Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo gasped. Luo Feng was a little better, having known about Gu Ce's genius beforehand, but he was still shocked.

Yang Hui had previously said that Shi Jiang's strength was comparable to his own, and now Gu Ce was being described by Shi Jiang as very strong.

Wouldn't that mean Gu Ce ≈ Shi Jiang ≈ Yang Hui = a mid-level war god?

"Your strength has improved way too fast!" Luo Feng couldn't help but say.

"Then I must thank Master Lei for his great guidance," Gu Ce said with a smile. "Alright, won't you let me in for a seat?"

"Fast forward, fast forward!" Zhao Ruo suddenly woke up and said hurriedly.

Master Lei?

Shi Jiang wondered to himself, "Is there a master named Lei at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy?"

Speaking of the surname Lei, and the owner of the museum... only Thor is left!

Shi Jiang glanced at Gu Ce without showing any emotion. It seems this 'newcomer' has quite a background!

"Jiangnan Pavilion only has three buildings, so you might have to stay with Luo Feng for the time being," Zhao Ruo said apologetically.

"It's nothing." Gu Ce waved his hand dismissively, since he wouldn't be staying long anyway.

He also explained some rules for the students, most of which were the same as those at the Thunder Martial Arts Academy. Shi Jiang suggested that Gu Ce could test the level of the Trial Tower.

"That thing? No need to try it, I'm level 4.1," Gu Ce said nonchalantly.

!

Shi Jiang was certain that this newcomer was Thor's personal disciple, hiding his identity to freeload off the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's equipment.

"That's strong!" Zhao Ruo exclaimed, her eyes wide with surprise. "Then you can definitely break into the top twenty! How much has your combat power increased?"

"8.2," Gu Ce said with a smile.

"Your exertion multiplier is so low?" Shi Jiang asked, somewhat puzzled.

Aren't you going to practice the Ninefold Thunder Blade?

"Mm," Gu Ce replied without further explanation.

"Rest first," Shi Jiang said, taking a deep breath. "We've prepared a welcome dinner for you tomorrow night."

"There are plenty of good things at the banquet," Luo Feng said with a smile.

After the group finished chatting, Gu Ce followed Luo Feng back to his detached house and found an empty room to settle down.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Gu Ce took out a notebook.

This is what he gave Gu Ce after meeting Hong.

The document records his insights and methods of using artistic conception and domain, which will be helpful for Gu Ce to comprehend artistic conception in the future.

Thor also gave Gu Ce a notebook, but it was much simpler than Hong's.

Lightning, rays of light.

Both of these belong to the lower levels of the fundamental laws of time and have nothing to do with space.

However, the process of understanding the artistic conception is still worth learning from for Gu Ce.

Gu Ce quickly became engrossed in the contents of his notes, absorbing the knowledge with great enthusiasm.

……

The next morning.

Luo Feng led Gu Ce to the gravity chamber inside the Nine-Story Building.

This is a gravity chamber discovered in the ruins of an ancient civilization, capable of reaching up to 1000 times the force of gravity, far beyond what human scientists can achieve.

"Gu Ce, how long can you use the gravity chamber?" Luo Feng asked curiously.

He knew that Gu Ce had come specifically to use the gravity chamber from the Thunder Martial Arts School. Given his strength, he shouldn't be like him, only able to use it for one hour in the first month, right?

Of course, now that it's the second month, Luo Feng's ranking has entered the top 100, and the time he can use has doubled.

"90 hours." Gu Ce glanced at the message Hong had sent him.

"90 hours? That's the same as being ranked number one!" Luo Feng exclaimed.

"Hmm? A new person?"

Not far away, a blond young man heard Luo Feng's call and turned his head to see a stranger.

"Luo Feng, aren't you going to introduce him?"

Luo Feng turned his head, realizing something bad had happened.

"Gu Ce, this person is William Edith, from an EU country," Luo Feng said.

"Gu Ce, what a nice name!" William said enthusiastically. "I've always been curious about China. There are many talented martial artists from China in the training camp. Luo Feng is a mentalist, so we can't compete in the virtual space. I'd like to have a match with you to test our strength. I wonder if you can grant me this request, Gu Ce."

Luo Feng's expression was strange. This person seemed to have said these words to him before, right?

However, because he was a mentalist, his scheme failed. Senior Sister Zhao Ruo said that William and those foreign devils often gambled with newcomers and swindled them out of their money.

"Of course," Gu Ce said with a smile.

"We're not going to bet big, how about 1 billion Chinese yuan?" The blond youth William's smile became even brighter and more enthusiastic.

"No." Gu Ce shook his head.

William's expression changed, and he was about to speak.

"That's too little," Gu Ce continued.

"How about this, I've never left China and I'm not familiar with the strength of martial artists in other places. Could you perhaps invite a few more people over so we can test our strength against each other? That way, I can also get to know you better."

"Don't worry, I'll wager five billion on each person in the competition," Gu Ce said with a smile. "How about it?"

"This..." William hesitated.

"Gu Ce, you're only sixteen years old and just joined the training camp. Don't agree to his request!" Luo Feng said angrily from the side.

"Of course, no problem!" William laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"Wait a minute, I'll inform them!"

Not long after.

Most of the trainees in the training camp knew that there was a newcomer who was very wealthy and willing to spend 5 billion Chinese yuan to compete with trainees from all over the world!

Looking at the crowd gathered at the entrance of the challenge room, Gu Ce smiled.

"No rush, line up one by one." Gu Ce smiled broadly. "Anyone who wants to increase the stakes is welcome."

Luo Feng witnessed the whole thing and was speechless.

With Gu Ce's strength, he can easily handle these forty-odd people without any unexpected problems!

That's over 200 billion Chinese yuan!

Money is too easy to make!
