Swallowing the Starry Sky Starts with a Sword

Chapter 18 Fame and Fortune

The night is already deep.

In Jiangnan Base City, the headquarters of Extreme Martial Arts School, in a luxurious villa.

Zhuge Tao, the supervisor of the Jiangnan branch of Extreme Martial Arts School and one of the four giants, was wearing a dark robe and holding a glass of red wine, relaxing on the balcony.

"Unknown God of War?"

With his identity, he is particularly sensitive to news about powerful warriors in Jiangnan Base City.

"Young and powerful? How come such a god of war suddenly appeared?"

Zhuge Tao frowned in confusion.

There are no photos or specific portraits of this unknown god of war in any of the messages on the forum.

After all, the only people who really knew what this unknown god of war looked like were Team Qingshan and the HR manager, but it was obvious that these people knew their limits and did not reveal Zhou Ning's appearance.

"A newly emerged god of war, I wonder if he has any faction to which he belongs."

Zhuge Tao thought, rubbing his fingers on the wine glass: "Even if you belong to a certain family force, you can also join the Extreme Martial Arts School. There is no conflict. Only the four major forces of the Extreme Martial Arts School, the Thunder Martial Arts School, the HR Alliance, and the Chinese Military will be absolutely separated."

He was a little itchy. If he could win over a war god with a bright future, what a great network that would be, and his position would be more secure in the future.

"He was able to keep his name hidden for so long, and only showed his fame when he reached the level of God of War."

Zhuge Tao smiled.

This nameless god of war has a truly terrifying character!
But at least, he has taken action now. A new war god warrior, fame and fortune will come rolling in, that is an irresistible temptation!

"In terms of fame and fortune, power and influence, what my Extreme Martial Arts School offers will never be any worse than what other forces can offer."

"Wait, wait."

Zhuge Tao closed his eyes, raised his glass and tasted the red wine.

"Fame and fortune are all you need to reach out"

He looked into the distance. In the night, the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan Base City was lined with tall buildings. It was prosperous and magnificent.

~~~~~~~~~~
Under the bright moonlight, City 023, which had been abandoned for decades, had dilapidated high-rise buildings, tangled vines, vehicle wreckage covered in weeds, and green weeds growing out of the cracks in the cement.
If it weren't for the occasional roars and fighting sounds of monsters, there would actually be a different kind of tranquility here.

Snowflakes are falling.

A piece of residual snow swirled in the air and fell on the black sword.

"Eat and sleep, sleep and eat, pretty leisurely. How did you become a lord if you are so lazy?"

Zhou Ning looked through the telescope at a gigantic pig monster several kilometers away. The monster was covered in dark scales, with a row of sharp bone spurs on its back, giving it a creepy luster under the moonlight.

The Ironclad Thorny Boar is ranked in the top ten among pig monsters, and the Ironclad Thorny Boar in front of us has even reached the primary lord level.

Zhou Ning sighed.

"You are so stupid, how can you be good at fighting? Just strength and speed can't hone my swordsmanship and body skills."

After getting the S-class sword and advanced combat uniform, Zhou Ning entered City 023 again. Unlike the last time when he was in the fringe area, this time he went deep into the urban area.

In the urban area, there are more high-level beast generals, and lord-level monsters are also beginning to appear frequently!
Zhou Ning's target this time is the lord-level monster.

He had reached the third level in both body movement and swordsmanship, and would be able to absolutely crush any higher-level beast generals. This also meant that he had not made any progress in his swordsmanship and body movement for a long time.

Only lord-level monsters that grew up fighting among monsters can have a tempering effect on Zhou Ning.

But...but this iron-clad spiny-backed boar in front of me looks really stupid.

"Forget it, being stupid has its advantages, let me give it a try first."

Zhou Ning picked up the sword and quickly reached over.

boom! !

A huge figure rushed into the abandoned residential building, and a big hole was directly knocked open in it. The reinforced concrete became like tofu.

call.

Zhou Ning's figure retreated rapidly, like a shadow moving through the ruins.

"Hmph!!"

The Ironclad Spiny Boar stopped, staring at the human figure in the distance with its blood-red eyes, making a humming sound. The dark scales on its body glowed coldly in the moonlight, like a moving steel fortress.

"Play pig eat tiger?"

Zhou Ning looked at it with sharp eyes.

He thought that this pig was very stupid, but when they fought, he found that although this Ironclad Thorny Back Pig was not very agile, it was very powerful and had rich combat experience.

That iron body rushed forward recklessly and struck very accurately. I'm afraid that even ordinary high-level warriors would not be able to avoid those simple and effective collisions.

call!
The man and the pig fought again. The huge iron-armored spiny-backed pig charged madly and stabbed Zhou Ning with its fangs again and again.

Zhou Ning dodged repeatedly, performing the perfect "Thunderbolt" movement. His figure flashed like lightning, making the armored pig's attacks miss time and time again.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Zhou Ning seized the opportunity and swung his sword down with a series of thunder-like blows, cutting through the air and striking the armor with sparks flying!

"It's fucking hard!"

After seven or eight consecutive slashes, Zhou Ning's hands were numb from the shock, and he only managed to leave tiny marks on the iron-armored pig's scale armor.

As expected, he is the Ironclad Thorny Boar Lord, who is famous for his strength and defense!
However, in this fierce battle, Zhou Ning also fully displayed his swordsmanship and body skills. Under such a powerful attack, all the fancy and inefficient body and sword skills had to be abandoned.

Simplify the complex and remove the dross.

His sword skills and body movements, which had progressed slowly over the past seventeen years, improved rapidly in this battle.

"Are you doing this again?"

The Ironclad Thorny Boar charged again. This move had been used many times before and Zhou Ning was very familiar with dodging it, but he still remained alert out of habit.

Whoosh~!

A black afterimage came suddenly, and the air exploded wherever it passed, producing a sharp explosion.

Sonic boom!

"Get away!"

Zhou Ning felt his scalp tingling, but his remaining vigilance still allowed him to dodge the fatal move without any danger.

He quickly retreated dozens of meters before he could see clearly the afterimage, which turned out to be the tail of the armored pig.

Sure enough, anything that can become a lord-level monster, even if it is a pig, is not a simple pig.

"That's all for today. See you later."

Zhou Ning smiled, turned around and ran away, quickly running into a residential building.

The iron-clad spiny-backed boar naturally chased him madly, but when it crashed into the residential building, Zhou Ning had already disappeared.

This is the advantage of human warriors in the wilderness. The stronger the monster leader, the bigger it is, but the human god of war is only that big.

If you can't beat him, just hide in an abandoned building and you can easily get rid of the Monster Lord.

“It’s been a great benefit.”

A few minutes later, ten kilometers away, Zhou Ning was resting in a room in a building. While recovering his strength, he was also thinking about the many details of the battle with the Ironclad Spiny Boar just now.

"As expected, only by fighting a strong opponent can you gain something."

When fighting against the beast generals, he can use any fancy moves to defeat them, so how can he tell which moves are more efficient and direct?

Over the past seventeen years, Zhou Ning's body movement and swordsmanship have progressed slowly. No matter how he simulates and calculates in his mind, it is still theoretical after all.

This battle with the Ironclad Razorback Boar is more useful than thinking about it by yourself for several months.
