Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 5: Four-way robbing, joining the martial arts hall

As night fell, Monster Town was shrouded in a soft twilight.

The town's buildings looked dilapidated, with vines and moss climbing along the walls.

The road is rugged and bumpy, revealing a deep sense of desolation and decay.

The roars of monsters came intermittently from remote corners, but were often drowned out by the rumble of fierce battles in the distance.

The dim light from the street lamps struggled against the deepening night, casting mottled shadows on the town.

However, the would-be warriors who were busy fighting had no time to appreciate the peaceful beauty of the night.

Their only concern is to collect enough monster left ears as quickly as possible to complete their assessment.

"Chen Yue!"

Chen Yue was walking on the street when he heard a familiar voice in his earphone.

"Yes!" Chen Yue replied through the microphone.

"I'm Wu Tong. You've passed this assessment. There's no need to stay in Monster Town. Come to the gate and someone will pick you up."

"Okay." Chen Yue replied.

Some of it was beyond his expectations, but also within his expectations.

Chen Yue guessed that his performance would be noticed by the martial arts school sooner or later, but he didn't expect the news to come so soon.

He walked towards the gate and did not encounter any other monsters along the way.

When we arrived at the gate, the officer we had met was already waiting there.

"Chen Yue?" The officer looked at Chen Yue and asked for confirmation.

Chen Yue nodded.

"Let's go. I just saw your performance in the monitoring room. It was awesome!" the officer praised sincerely.

"Lucky." Chen Yue said, "I just happened to have a breakthrough in the past few days."

After leaving the Monster Town, the gate was immediately closed, and more than 1597 would-be warriors were still fighting inside.

The thin young man and the young man with the scar did not have to worry about being eliminated because each of them got three monster left ears.

"Haha! Chen Yue! Come to me!"

As soon as he walked out of the Monster Town, he saw Wu Tong standing in front of a quiet two-story building not far from the square, waving to Chen Yue.

Chen Yue walked over quickly and called out, "Uncle Wu!"

"Good boy! Let's go inside and talk!" Wu Tong pulled Chen Yue and walked into the two-story building.

"Chen Yue, Uncle Wu will not hide something from you. With your performance just now, all the four forces will definitely be vying for you."

"Although I brought you back to our martial arts school, you are still a free person after all, and you haven't signed a contract with the martial arts school yet."

"I can't force you, but I still hope from the bottom of my heart that you can join the Extreme Martial Arts School."

"Our headmaster..."

"Uncle Wu! I will listen to you and join the Extreme Martial Arts School." Chen Yue spoke directly.

Wu Tong was stunned. "Other forces offer better conditions, and you don't consider it?"

"Not considering it!" Chen Yue said firmly.

"Good! Good!" Wu Tong said excitedly.

He was still a little worried.

I was afraid that Chen Yue would not be able to attract Zhuge Tao's attention. But now, I'm afraid Zhuge Tao will fight for Chen Yue.

He was truly happy for Chen Yue.

As for why Chen Yue's strength suddenly increased, he didn't intend to ask.

Everyone has their own secrets, and he is also prepared to keep it secret for Chen Yue.

————————On the second floor, in an elegant room.

The four of them sat around the table, all looking at Chen Yue who was standing at the door.

A burly man in a purple battle suit spoke with a muffled voice.

He spoke first, "I am Wang Heng, the director of the Jiangnan General Office of the Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School. Chen Yue, join my Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School and I will arrange a special training contract for you at my Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School's global headquarters!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Lao Wang, you've gone too far. You just go all out right away!" Zhuge Tao could no longer sit still and stood up.

"Chen Yue, I'm Zhuge Tao, the director of the Jiangnan General Hall of the Extreme Martial Arts School. You and Wu Tong have known each other for a long time, and he can be considered as half of your guide."

Zhuge Tao paused, and continued, "I promise you that as the world's number one martial arts school, the conditions offered by my Extreme Martial Arts School will not be worse than any other!"

"Zhuge! You're still talking about Old Wang, aren't you playing the emotional card as well?" A middle-aged man next to Zhuge Tao was somewhat unconvinced.

He stood up and said, "In China, of course, the military is the most concentrated. Chen Yue, I am Liu Dekai from the 11th Division of China's Special Department..."

"Chen Yue, I am from HR Alliance Jiangnan..."

After the four big men finished speaking, Chen Yue bowed slightly and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Thank you all for your kindness. I have already promised Uncle Wu to join the Extreme Martial Arts School."

"Good! Very good!" Zhuge Tao's eyes showed appreciation.

He laughed out loud, "Chen Yue! You are very good, with good character and good vision! Hahaha!"

"Then please move to the next door. We have a small meeting for the members of our martial arts school..."

Zhuge Tao deliberately emphasized the words "internal members" and politely made a gesture of invitation towards the door.

Anyway, he just has one feeling now -

Cool!
In recent years, various forces have been competing for talent, especially between the two major martial arts schools.

One gym owner is the best in the world, and the other is the second best in the world. Therefore, the martial artists of the two gyms have been competing secretly.

"Humph!"

The other three parties saw that they could not compete with the Extreme Martial Arts School, and they would not stay and get bored, so they all returned to the monitoring room to continue observing to see if they could find other good candidates.

"What a pity! I really don't understand. Last year it was Luo Feng, and this year here comes Chen Yue!" Wang Heng looked helpless and gritted his teeth at Wu Tong.

"What kind of magic potion did you give to the warriors in your Yangzhou City? Why did they all choose the Extreme Martial Arts School?"

He snorted, "No, I want to apply to replace the person in charge of our martial arts school Yangzhou Hall!"

Wu Tong didn't say anything, just smiled bitterly.

However, what Wang Heng said was not bragging. He had a very good relationship with the Inspector of the Jiangnan Base City of the Leidian Martial Arts School.

The Inspector General has great power, and he can even dismiss the head of the base city directly, not to mention the person in charge of the Acropolis below.

He couldn't help but worry about his old rival at the Leidian Martial Arts School, but at the same time he was secretly glad that he had a good relationship with Luo Feng and Chen Yue.

--------

After everyone else left, Zhuge Tao said with a smile: "Chen Yue, sit down! Just now when they were here, I naturally had to show some momentum. Now we are all family, there is no need to be so reserved."

"Thank you, Director Zhuge."

"I heard from Wu Tong that you took the quasi-warrior assessment two months ago."

"Yes." Chen Yue nodded respectfully.

"I'll be frank. Judging from your performance just now, you basically have the strength of a junior general."

Zhuge Tao smacked his lips, "Tsk tsk! A 19-year-old junior warrior, as long as you join the martial arts hall, you will definitely be able to receive special training. But according to the rules, the headquarters must send a special envoy to further verify your strength."

Zhuge Tao looked at Chen Yue and was even more satisfied when he saw that he had a handsome face and was calm.

He continued, "There's no need to rush. Let's go back to the martial arts gym and do some testing. I'll report the data to the gym headquarters. I believe we'll have news soon."

Chen Yue said gratefully: "Thank you, Director Zhuge, I will definitely work hard to perform well!"

Is it just special training?
Chen Yue was somewhat unwilling.
