Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Chapter 3 Golden Legend
If the physical improvement gained during the first training session involves the awakening of mental power, then it is not appropriate to measure the strength of one's talent solely by the increase in punching power.

After all, the strength of mental power can only be two levels higher than physical fitness at most.

For example, if someone's physical fitness is at the intermediate level, then no matter how strong their mental talent is, they can never reach the level of an intermediate warrior mental master.

When martial artists have the same talent, the initial increase in punching power that can be achieved by a naturally born warrior-level psychic talent and a naturally born war god-level psychic talent is actually not much different.

However, there is a significant difference in their actual talent for cultivation.

However, there are quite a few mentalists who are born with only the warrior level of mental power and cannot become the god-level mentalist.

Elite-level martial arts talent, combined with equally high-level mentalist talent, is still not as strong as genius-level martial arts talent.

Composing himself, Lu Yi said with a serious expression, "Xiao Jin, although you have never slacked off in your martial arts practice, Grandpa still wants to remind you not to waste your talent for cultivation."

Before you grow up, your family is your support.

When you grow up, Grandpa hopes you will become a pillar of the family.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Lu Jin responded.

As for cultivation, Lu Jin would devote himself wholeheartedly without needing the old man's instructions.

Protecting the Earth is open to discussion, but protecting my Earth is definitely a possibility.

Moreover, the universe is so vast, he wanted to go and see it, to appreciate the scenery at the top of the mountain, and to see just how different it was from the scenery at the foot of the mountain.

His innate advantages gave him the confidence to appreciate the scenery from the mountaintop in the future.

After all, the world view of Swallowed Star is very large. Any cheat that is not sealed by the original will is definitely not low in level. At least it is not below the original universe, and it may even be at the level of Hunyuan.

Lu Yi then said, "The martial arts combat assessment is held twice a year. There will be one on August 1st, which is three days from now, and the next one will be on February 1st next year."

Are you planning to do it in three days, or wait another six months?

The preliminary martial arts assessment only tests punching power, speed, and nerve reaction.

As one of the twelve major families in the HR Alliance, the Lu family's headquarters are located in Jiangnan Base City. They already have the qualifications to be assessed as quasi-martial artists in Jiangnan Base City, so it is perfectly fine to directly include Lu Jin in the quasi-martial artist sequence.

However, the martial arts combat assessment is different. It is an assessment led by the military and jointly supervised by the two major martial arts schools and the HR Alliance.

Without a proper assessment, the Lu family is not qualified to directly issue Lu Jin a martial arts certificate.

Lu Jin said, "Let's do it in three days."

"Alright, Grandpa will arrange it for you."

Lu Yi nodded.

Inside the underground martial arts training hall.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

With a flash of sword light, Lu Jin held the unsheathed training sword, drawing sharp trajectories in mid-air.

Sometimes thrusting straight, sometimes slashing downwards, sometimes lightly touching, the whistling sound of the sword tip cutting through the air echoed throughout the training hall.

Before awakening his memories, Lu Jin studied swordsmanship.

After awakening his memories, Lu Jin didn't seem inclined to change his marksmanship or swordsmanship.

Aside from the inheritance from Meteorite Star that Luo Feng obtained, the most exquisite and ultimate secret manuals on Earth are indeed spear and knife techniques, while sword techniques are of a much lower caliber.

However, Lu Jin knew that the methods of unleashing the power of "World Destruction" and "Nine-fold Thunder Blade" were incorrect, and there was no need to deliberately pursue the so-called ultimate secret manual.

Moreover, Lu Jin thought swordsmanship was cooler than knife and spear techniques.

Strength is temporary, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime.

With cheat codes at my disposal, although I haven't yet experienced their strengths or weaknesses, I suppose I still have the capital to pursue looking cool.

"Da da--"

Just then, a soft footstep sounded from the entrance of the martial arts hall.

Turning his head, Lu Jin saw a middle-aged man with a buzz cut, a muscular build, and a square face, wearing a training uniform, walk in. "Uncle Li."

Lu Jin sheathed his sword and bowed.

The square-faced, buzz-cut middle-aged man, named Li Tao, came from a commoner background but possessed considerable martial arts talent. After the Lu family extended an olive branch to him, he joined the Lu family directly and even married a member of a collateral branch of the Lu family.

He is now a high-level warrior, skilled in swordsmanship. Several years ago, he was assigned by the old man Lu Yi to teach him swordsmanship and movement techniques.

In addition, as a high-level warrior, Li Tao is not only his martial arts teacher, but will also serve as his bodyguard when he goes to the wilderness for training in the future.

"Not bad, full of energy and spirit, it seems that he has cultivated genetic energy."

After glancing at Lu Jin a few times, Li Tao said with a smile.

"Thanks to Uncle Li's guidance."

Lu Jin smiled, then cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Li, let's have a match!"

His own cheat program was the type that allowed players to defeat monsters and obtain loot, and it didn't require any battles; as long as you fought, you had a chance to get loot. Lu Jin was eager to try it out.

"Haha~, you can't wait, can you?"

Li Tao was delighted and quickly walked to the weapon rack in the corner of the training hall, where he took an unsharpened training sword.

"bring it on."

In the center of the training hall, Li Tao performed a sword flourish and then beckoned to Lu Jin, who was a few meters away.

'Whoosh! '

With a light step, Lu Jin shot out like an arrow, his long sword thrusting straight at Li Tao.

"clang!"

Li Tao, with his lightning-fast reflexes, blocked Lu Jin's thrust with the spine of his sword, raising it horizontally in front of his chest.

'Um? '

Feeling the impact of Lu Jin's thrust, Li Tao raised an eyebrow.

Leaving aside technique, just considering strength alone, Lu Jin, who just cultivated his genetic energy yesterday, has definitely reached the level of an intermediate warrior in terms of physical fitness.

Moreover, it's not just the standard punching power of a mid-level warrior who has just reached 2,000 kilograms; it exceeds the standard by a considerable margin.

'Truly a genius!'

Li Tao thought to himself.

The next moment, Li Tao switched from defense to offense, controlling his strength and speed to a level slightly higher than Lu Jin's. With flashing sword light, he thrust, slashed, and flicked with his longsword, displaying the posture of beating a drowning dog.

In Li Tao's view, the boy was very talented, and having just cultivated his genetic energy, he was full of vigor and had an inflated ego.

As his mentor, he needed to deflate Lu Jin's arrogance and put his inflated ego back down, lest he develop an overconfident and ignorant personality in the future.

Faced with Li Tao's rapid attacks, Lu Jin, who was inferior in strength, speed, reaction and skill, was left with only the option of passive defense.

"Dang!" "Dang!" "Dang!"

For a moment, the clanging of metal echoed throughout the training hall.

Time passed, and a quarter of an hour later.

Just as Lu Jin was struggling to cope with Li Tao's relentless attacks, he suddenly saw a dazzling golden light flash across the other's body.

Lu Jin: "!!!"

Golden legend?

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jin saw a fist-sized ball of dazzling golden light fall from Li Tao's body and then disappear automatically.

At the same time, a gray progress bar appeared above Li Tao's head, with a few small words next to it.
