Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

Wilderness

Five days have passed since the martial arts combat assessment.

The entire Xiang family was extremely excited upon learning that they had received an invitation to the Thunder Martial Arts Academy Elite Training Camp.

Even his uncle Xiang Jiang, who is always busy away from home, rarely comes back.

The old man and Xiang Bei's father were unable to return.

Recently, animal tides have been frequent in coastal areas, and the old man and Xiang Bei's father, Xiang Hu, need to be on the front lines and cannot easily leave their posts.

Xiang Bei then suggested that they go to the wilderness area.

Considering Xiang Bei's actual need to go to the Thunder Martial Arts School, the Xiang family agreed to Xiang Bei's idea.

Of course, the Xiang family would not allow Xiang Bei to go to the wilderness alone.

If anything were to happen to them, it would be an unbearable pain for the Xiang family.

Thus, the martial arts team formed by Xiang Dong and Xiang Nan successfully took on the glorious mission of protecting Xiang Bei.

Of course, calling them a martial arts team is just a bunch of idle rich kids.

Apart from Xiang Dong, Xiang Nan, and Zhang Dong, who are second-generation members of the Xiang family.

There's also Zuo Zheng, the eldest son of Zuo Qing, a military war hero.

Li Xiaohan and Li Xiaoxue, the two daughters of Xiang Shan's apprentice and the God of War Li Hao.

He was Fang Wu, the only son of himself and another high-ranking military official.

It's fair to say that if this group of people were killed in the wilderness, the entire Kyoto base city would tremble.

However, taking them down won't be so easy. Although these people are all second-generation rich kids, they are not just spoiled brats.

All seven members of the group were at the level of generals, with Zuo Zheng in particular having reached the level of intermediate general.

Unless they encounter a god-level expert going all out, it would be almost impossible to wipe them out.

Of course, in addition to the second-generation squad, the Xiang family also provided Xiang Bei with two bodyguards this time.

The mid-level generals are all veterans who have served the Xiang family for many years. They were previously responsible for protecting Xiang He's safety, but now Xiang He has assigned them to Xiang Bei.

"Xiao Bei, since this is your first time in the wilderness, why don't you practice on a one-horned wild boar first?"

Xiang Bei and his group hid in a house that had collapsed halfway. Not far from them, a group of about twenty wild boars were lazily resting on the open ground.

The unicorn boar is not particularly strong among the beast-soldier level monsters.

Generally, only mid-level beast soldiers are available, with only a few elites able to evolve to high-level beast soldiers.

Furthermore, the one-horned boar is slow and has a limited attack method, relying solely on charging.

Its only advantage is probably its large size, which gives it high defense and high health.

Therefore, it is especially suitable for team novices to practice and improve team coordination.

As a complete novice, Xiang Bei naturally had no objection to Xiang Dong's suggestion.

Moreover, now is not the time for me to be picky; the cooldown time for Colossus Devour is a full four hours.

Let's start with one shot, then we'll have plenty of time to find a suitable target.

After stepping out of the cover, Xiang Bei chose to charge straight ahead.

It wasn't that Xiang Bei was arrogant; it was just that everything was for the elite training camp assessment in half a month.

I learned from Shan Yucheng that the elite training camp assessments of Thunder Martial Arts School and Limit Martial Arts School are almost identical.

All of them must undergo virtual combat assessment.

Therefore, in order to gain experience, Xiang Bei simply chose to fight head-on.

Anyway, with a group of unicorn boars that were at most high-level beast soldiers, and a group of warriors behind him, he wasn't worried about anything happening!

Besides, his gear wasn't cheap either!

Their combat uniforms are all high-end items capable of withstanding attacks from high-ranking generals!

The halberd was also a gift from Xiang Dong and his group to Xiang Bei.

A5 Crimson Flame Halberd, priced at 550 million.

This outfit will accompany Xiang Bei to the elite training camp of the Thunder Martial Arts School.

At the same time, they will also be Xiang Bei's most reliable partner for the foreseeable future.

"Hmph hmph hmph!"

The moment Xiang Bei appeared and charged out, the one-horned wild boars, who had been lazily basking in the sun, instantly became alert.

However, Xiang Bei's advanced warrior-level speed did not give these unicorn boars much time to react.

"Pfft!"

The Crimson Flame Halberd pierced the neck of a one-horned boar, and with a gentle stroke of the halberd tip, a large gash was opened in the boar's neck.

Blood splattered everywhere, rendering the one-horned wild boar incapable of fighting.

With a swing of his halberd, after slaying one unicorn boar, Xiang Bei swiftly swept his sword through the body of another unicorn boar without hesitation.

"Good!" Xiang Dong nodded in satisfaction as he looked at his elder who was walking forward. "Xiao Bei's talent in combat is much better than ours was back then."

"Yeah, it was a bit too reckless. With so many unicorn boars, we should have proceeded cautiously, using the terrain to our advantage. Charging in like that would have easily led to us being surrounded by monsters."

Xiang Nan was relatively cautious, and he was worried about Xiang Bei's reckless behavior. One must be careful in the wilderness, otherwise it is easy to fall into a dangerous situation.

"Second brother, if you ask me, you're just too cautious. Our Xiang family's halberd technique emphasizes going forward without hesitation. Your excessive caution only makes you look inferior." Xiang Dong curled his lip, clearly disagreeing with his younger brother's idea.

At this moment, Xiang Bei had already charged into the herd of one-horned wild boars, and felt immense pressure as the boars charged from all directions.

Especially since there are two high-level beast soldier-level monsters among these one-horned boars!

But that's exactly what Xiang Bei wanted!

Only by putting enough pressure on him in real combat can we motivate him to make continuous progress.

Nowadays, it's not enough to only reach the mastery level in halberd techniques. To ensure absolute success, it would be best to also advance in movement techniques.

"break!"

With firm steps, Xiang Bei continued his fierce attack forward, wielding his halberd!

As Xiang Dong said, their Xiang family's "Po Jun" is a halberd technique that excels at offense.

The movement technique "Trapped Formation" included in it is primarily designed to assist in the halberd's offensive capabilities!

Go ahead!

With the swing of his halberd, Xiang Bei killed two more one-horned wild boars!

At this moment, the leader of the wild boars, the high-level beast soldier, also rushed in front of Xiang Bei.

"when!"

Xiang Bei blocked the charge of the one-horned boar leader with his halberd, dissipating most of the force while quickly twisting his body, narrowly avoiding the boar's horn.

"That was close!"

Although these two are larger than the other one-horned wild boars, they are not easy to distinguish among so many wild boars.

Even so, Xiang Bei was unwilling to back down. He quickly changed his move, dodging the charge of the unicorn boar leader while simultaneously opening a gash in the leader's hind leg.

"die!"

Just as Xiang Bei scratched the one-horned boar, another one-horned boar that had reached the advanced beast soldier level rushed up to him.

If you can't dodge, you have no choice but to fight!

Stepping into the "Trapped Formation" stance, Xiang Bei suddenly exerted force with both arms, channeling the power of the "Breaking Army" directly into the halberd in his hands!

At that moment, the crimson halberd burst into flames like a burning fire!

"A colossal engulfment!"

"boom!"
