Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

As the sun sets, a golden glow bathes the earth.

Kyoto base city, main urban area

In a training ground made of alloy, a shirtless young man with well-defined muscles is wielding a halberd!

Judging from the boy's appearance, he looks to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old.

But that alloy halberd, which was more than three meters long, seemed to be nothing in the boy's hands, and it created waves of life when he swung it!

The boy's name is Xiang Bei, and he is only sixteen years old.

She is also a transmigrator who has lived two lives.

However, when he learned that the city he was in was called Kyoto Base City, and that the strongest person in this world was called Hong, and the second strongest person was called Thor.

The sky is falling down on me!

A world that can't devour the stars isn't exactly a great place!

Without the strength to die a natural death, it really depends on luck!

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about the Golden Horned Beast, the biggest crisis in Earth's early days.

That thing was so powerful that it once plunged the entire Earth into despair!

What? You're saying the protagonist Luo Feng will solve it later?

Just kidding, don't forget how many base cities that thing devoured, and how many humans were killed by the beast tides it triggered!

Later on, the golden-horned behemoth indiscriminately launched energy blasts, attacking almost every base city in the world!

Even if you hide in the base city and don't come out, you can still be blasted into dust by an energy blast falling from the sky!

Even if you survive the Golden Horned Beast's calamity, the Nolan Mountain family's attacks will still cause a large number of civilian casualties in the future.

These two major crises both occurred within the last fifty years! There was no way to avoid them!

The only way to safely avoid these two crises is to reach planetary level before the disaster strikes.

Only in this way can one barely guarantee their own survival.

Furthermore, once Earth enters the space age, only those who reach the planetary level will be eligible to register as human citizens.

Otherwise, the human race will not recognize you as a citizen, and you will have no rights protection after leaving Earth.

Of course, now that he had come to the vast and boundless world of Swallowing the Stars, Xiang Bei naturally did not want to live a muddled and ordinary life.

He also wanted to achieve immortality like Luo Feng, to become the master of the universe, a true god, and even to transcend reincarnation.

He even eventually became the immortal and indestructible Lord of Chaos!

Of course, all of this is still a long way off for Xiang Bei.

Therefore, from the day his family allowed Xiang Bei to practice martial arts, Xiang Bei never relaxed his demands on himself for a moment.

Day after day, rain or shine!

For the past ten years, I have almost never stopped practicing.

Finally, this month, Xiang Bei's physical condition reached the requirements for a quasi-martial artist.

Punching power: 927kg

Speed: 25.8m/s

Responsive nerves: Excellent

16 years old, quasi-martial artist

Such achievements might be considered quite genius-like by ordinary people.

But Xiang Bei knew that this was far from enough!

Not to mention compared to the super geniuses in the universe, even on Earth his talent doesn't reach the top tier.

Putting everything else aside, he remembered a passage from the original text of Swallowed Star.

That's what the Thunder Martial Arts School said when they were recruiting Luo Feng.

A sixteen-year-old prodigy, who has reached the intermediate warrior level, can only obtain a special-grade contract at the Thunder Martial Arts Academy.

What kind of top-tier contract is this?

As two of the world's largest martial arts schools, the Ultimate Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School are led by Hong, the strongest man on Earth, and Thor, the second strongest man.

The two martial arts schools each have two training camps: a basic training camp and an elite training camp.

The so-called "special grade contract" is actually the assessment notice from the basic training camp.

Yes, the basic training camps are not elite training camps, and they even have entrance exams. Only those who pass the camp's entrance exam can enter; otherwise, they will be sent back to where they came from.

Furthermore, compared to the two training camps of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, the training camp of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy is half a level lower.

In other words, the requirements for entering the training camp of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy are even more stringent.

This is the gap.

Since he was able to practice martial arts, Xiang Bei has been training day and night without ever slacking off. As a result, he hasn't even reached the threshold of entering the basic training camp of the Thunder Martial Arts School.

It's already July, during summer vacation, and his birthday in October is only three months away.

If he cannot reach the intermediate warrior level, it means he will miss out on the training camps of the two major martial arts schools.

Of course, if he can become even stronger, he might still have a chance to enter the elite training camp; it all depends on Xiang Bei's efforts.

He remembered that when Luo Feng entered the training camp in the original novel, it was already late March, almost April, but Luo Feng was recruited through a special admission process.

The actual enrollment period for the training camp should end at the end of February, since students will be entering the training camp in early March.

Of course, these are still some distance away for Xiang Bei. What he needs now is to quickly master the "Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method" and complete the first time to draw cosmic energy into his body.

Unfortunately, Xiang Bei doesn't seem to have Luo Feng's talent. Five days after he completed the quasi-martial artist assessment, he had tried to cultivate the Gene Energy Cultivation Method several times, but without exception, he made no substantial progress except sitting for hours until his legs went numb.

Of course, besides his goal of entering the training camps of the two major martial arts schools, Xiang Bei had another goal: the cheat code he had brought with him since his transmigration, or rather, the essential perk for every transmigrator.

However, Xiang Bei's benefit is not yet unlocked. He needs to draw in enough cosmic energy to unlock it.

This is why Xiang Bei was so eager to successfully cultivate the "Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method".

Unfortunately, Xiang Bei has still not succeeded to this day.

After unleashing a series of fierce halberd techniques, Xiang Bei was drenched in sweat.

The halberd technique used by Xiang Bei is not simple; it is the ultimate skill of his Xiang family, a simplified version of the S-level secret halberd technique "Po Jun," created by Xiang Bei's grandfather specifically for his son and grandson to lay a foundation for their future.

Once they become martial artists, they can switch to cultivating the "Breaking Army" technique, thus achieving twice the result with half the effort and quickly cultivating the first and second levels of the Breaking Army technique.

It must be said that the old master of the Xiang family is no ordinary person. He is a figure who fought his way out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood during the Great Nirvana period when he was young. Now he is not only a mid-level War God level expert, but also holds the rank of general in the military. He can be considered a big shot in the entire Kyoto base city.

The halberd technique "Breaking Army" that he created even reached the S-level rating. Although "Breaking Army" is only at the bottom level of the S-level, it is still an S-level technique. Many mid-to-high-level war gods cannot even create it.
