Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

Early next morning

Xiang Bei got up early, put on his combat gear, and headed straight for the training camp.

Another day of hunting, another opportunity to snowball.

After more than two months of experimentation and reflection, Xiang Bei has gained a clear understanding.

The maximum health gained from "Giant Devour" is far more than just an increase in physical attributes.

His learning ability and other skills have improved significantly in the past few months; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to comprehend the halberd technique, which is close to perfection, so quickly.

Now, following the training camp's plan, he spends one day hunting and the other day processing the growth he gained from the behemoth's devouring.

The speed of progress is astonishing.

After a full day of fighting, Xiang Bei returned to the training camp carrying a whole bag of monster remains.

After the points were calculated, the score actually increased by two places, reaching 46th place.

The sale of materials then brought Xiang Bei another 100 million yuan.

I checked the time; it was already late, and there were only two hours left before the rankings were finalized.

Xiang Bei didn't waste any time; after quickly filling his stomach, he headed straight for the Trial Tower.

In just fifteen minutes, Xiang Bei's ranking rose from 46th to 44th.

In addition to the unlimited time allotted for ranking during the first month of enrollment, newcomers also have one hour of Trial Tower usage time each month.

You can use it freely as long as the time hasn't come yet.

After failing twice in a row, Xiang Bei finally gained some understanding of the halberd technique on his third attempt, getting closer and closer to perfection!

This finally allowed them to break through the barrier of the second stage, A.

However, as Xiang Bei entered Phase B, his situation became increasingly difficult.

Ninety low-level beast general-grade armored scorpions and ten mid-level beast general-grade armored scorpions forced Xiang Bei to fight desperately for nearly ten minutes, but he still couldn't escape being dragged into the sea of ​​sand.

Thus, Xiang Bei lost all three matches in a row.

With less than ten minutes left, Xiang Bei hadn't really expected to succeed.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that relaxing at the end made it work!

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Xiang Bei's halberd danced with the sand, creating a sense of perfect, impenetrable power.

At that moment, Xiang Bei felt that the halberd in his hand was no longer an external object, but rather he could wield it as freely as his own arm, without any sense of restriction.

With a single thought, the halberd moves as the mind moves, and the halberd arrives as the mind goes!

Everything was under Xiang Bei's complete control.

As the halberd technique neared perfection, mastering one technique led to mastering all others, and the power-generating skills that were already on the verge of breakthrough were achieved in an instant.

The 2.4x increase in strength has raised Xiangbei's combat power to a new level.

He completely overcame the second stage B in less than ten minutes, passing the B stage trial almost at the last second.

Trial Tower Level 2.6

Training camp ranking 40

"Look, it's ranked forty! Brother Fu, Xiang Bei has actually broken into the top forty!" A young Chinese man with long black hair couldn't help but shout.

With the month drawing to a close, there were even more people waiting at the training camp entrance today for rankings than yesterday.

As soon as the young man shouted, almost everyone turned to look at the statue.

However, what happened next was quite astonishing.

The ranking on the statue had changed again, this time it had moved up to "33rd place"!

"boom!"

The elite training camp is in an uproar!

The 33 people had already surpassed many veterans who had been in the camp for more than three years, and even many trainees who had been in the camp for four years were pinned down by Xiang Bei.

That night, Xiang Bei became famous overnight. Even high-ranking officials around the world had a detailed profile of Xiang Bei on their desks.

Many people are destined to lose sleep this night.

However, Xiang Bei slept very well that night!

Regardless of the outside world's turmoil, Xiang Bei believed that these things on Earth were just minor disturbances.

The real stage is beyond the cosmos.

He had no interest in being distracted by such trivial matters.

After a quick wash, Xiang Bei began his daily practice as usual.

Perhaps the only difference is that Xiang Bei still has a slight expectation that Thunder Martial Arts Academy might increase his training resources like Extreme Martial Arts Academy might, and perhaps even offer him a training contract.

However, it turned out that Xiang Bei was overthinking things; it seemed that the Thunder Martial Arts Academy had not cultivated a single genius who had already signed a contract with another force.

Although his expectations were not met, Xiang Bei was not too disappointed.

The only downside is that the Black God Set is not easy to obtain, as for the other resources...

He has no use for dragon blood or jade marrow. He'll be a War God next month, so those things are useless to him. If you give them to him, he'll just give them to his family.

The Xia Kingdom has already promised him weapons, equipment, and cultivation manuals. If the Thunder Martial Arts Academy were to give them to him, it would only save the Xia Kingdom some money.

Thunder Martial Arts School is being stingy and refusing to give, but the Xia Kingdom might be even happier!

That night, Xiang Beimei kept his promise and invited all the geniuses from Xia Country in the elite training camp to dinner.

Everyone gave Xiang Bei face and no one refused, not even Sikong Chi, who was ranked first in the training camp and was known as a cultivation maniac.

However, after eating a few bites of monster meat and drinking a few sips of wine, the other party hurriedly left.

According to Fu Bin, Sikong Chi has received a promise from Lei Shen, the master of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy. As long as he meets the requirements set by Lei Shen and his combat power amplitude reaches 16 before graduation, he can officially become Lei Shen's disciple.

Therefore, Sikong Chi cultivated extremely frantically. After all, being recognized as a disciple by the second strongest person on Earth was an opportunity that many geniuses would dream of, so Sikong Chi naturally cherished it immensely.

After a banquet, Xiang Bei spent nearly 20 million yuan.

However, Xiang Bei didn't care much. With his current earning power, even if he ate like this every day, it wouldn't bankrupt him.

Besides, money on Earth will just be a number in the future.

It seems like a lot now, but it's almost worthless in the universe.

After that, Xiang Bei's life became very monotonous. He practiced cultivation every day without fail.

According to the training camp's rules, one can either go hunting in the wilderness on odd or even days, or stay in the training camp to cultivate.

Since Xiang Bei jumped into the top 33, his gravity chamber usage time has reached nine hours, and he can move in to sleep whenever he wants.

Then there's Belinda.

As Xiang Bei's strength increased dramatically day by day, Belinda finally realized something was wrong.

Although the other party can now overpower Xiang Bei and beat him up, she feels that as Xiang Bei's strength continues to grow, she will eventually find herself unable to keep up.

And she felt that this time wouldn't be too far off!

At the end of another month, with the support of the colossal devouring force, Xiang Bei's punching power finally reached 64000 kg, and his speed exceeded 400 m/s.
