Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

Elite Training Camp

A bald man dressed in a white robe stood in a room in a large metal hall.

In front of the white-robed, bald man, a man with a large beard from the United States, a burly black man, and a thin Asian man were all hunched over, exchanging anxious glances.

The white-robed, bald man's eyes seemed to flash with lightning as he scanned the three people in front of him.

His gaze seemed to see right through the three people in front of him.

"You mean, during my seclusion, a super genius emerged in the elite training camp. He broke into thirteenth place in the camp in less than two months, and he only turned seventeen at the end of last month?"

The white-robed man stared intently at the three people before him. "And you, for some ridiculous reasons, not only failed to provide him with more training, but you didn't even report to me?"

"And now you're telling me this seventeen-year-old genius is missing, and all you've found is a halberd, a backpack, and the corpses of two scorpions!"

Thor's eyes blazed with suppressed rage as he stared at the three inspectors who didn't even dare to raise their heads. As he spoke, he almost burst into laughter from his own rage.

He had personally examined the traces of that battlefield, including the corpses of the two Lord-level twin-tailed human-faced scorpions.

Judging from the marks, they all died on that abandoned halberd.

In other words, a super genius who was only seventeen years old, had become a martial artist less than four months ago, and had only been in the training camp for two months, was able to independently kill two lord-level monsters, one of which was a mid-level lord, and was a student of his Thunder Martial Arts Academy Elite Training Camp.

Then, because the other party had signed an agreement with the Xia Kingdom's military, the three idiots under his command decided on their own not to provide further training for him, and didn't even report it to him.

And now these three idiots have even managed to lose him!

Thor felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger at these three things!

Why can't his three little devils be as worry-free as his older brother's patrolman?

So what if he signed an agreement with the Xia Kingdom's military? He's half Xia Kingdom blood, damn it!

Thor even had an urge to shove those three things in front of him to death in a cesspool.

However, I managed to calm myself down in the end.

"Find him! Expand the search area, increase manpower, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find him for me!" Thor ordered angrily.

Such a genius was lost at his Thunder Martial Arts School. Putting aside the great loss to the Thunder Martial Arts School and to humanity, he would feel ashamed to go to his older brother Hong in the future!

The three inspectors from the Thunder Martial Arts School breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Thor's instructions and quickly left Thor's room.

The three people in the room exchanged glances, and all of them could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.

When Xiang Bei first arrived at the elite training camp, he was indeed exceptionally talented, but not to the point of being astonishing.

That's why they dared to suppress the news and report it to Thor.

But no one expected that in less than a month, Xiang Bei's strength seemed to have taken drugs, and his ranking skyrocketed to thirteenth in the training camp.

By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late.

Xiang Bei ventured alone into the desert, leaving behind two corpses of double-tailed human-faced scorpions, and then disappeared.

In their efforts to find the person, they even dismantled the two scorpions into palm-sized pieces, but still couldn't locate them.

They even dug several meters down into the sand within a five-mile radius.

But the result was still nothing.

In their view, under these circumstances, Xiang Beida's chances of survival are slim.

Otherwise, as a martial artist, even if seriously injured, one would not give up one's weapon.

After all, having weapons in the wilderness gives you a chance to fight for your life, but losing your weapons means you're at the mercy of others.

Xiang Bei's weapons and backpack were left there; he's most likely gone.

However, they couldn't say anything. Anyone could see that Thor was in a bad mood, and they didn't want to provoke him.

Let's wait a few days until Thor's anger subsides a bit before making a decision.

. . .

Time flies, and another three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiang Bei walked along the coast in tattered clothes.

His previous battle with the Carcharodontosaurus not only damaged his smartwatch, but also caused multiple tears in his combat suit.

Along the way, numerous monsters blocked the way, and many great battles took place.

Especially near the coastline, he would be attacked from time to time by monsters from the sea.

Xiang Bei can be said to have fought his way up.

His combat suit was already covered in the bloodstains of various monsters, making him look rather disheveled.

However, Xiang Bei didn't come away without any benefits from this fight.

When he fought the Sharktooth Dragon at the bottom of the lake, he perfected his movements by utilizing the essence of water, which brought his technique to near perfection.

Having gone through all the battles, Xiang Bei's movement technique has finally reached the perfect level.

Xiang Bei can now be considered a war god at the dual perfection level.

The only regret is that I'm still a bit short of being an intermediate-level War God.

Otherwise, as a mid-level War God with two perfected skills, he would be able to overpower most of the training camp instructors in the elite training camp.

"The Breakthrough is almost here! It seems the Water Artistic Conception Experience Card found at the bottom of the lake has many benefits!" Xiang Bei's eyes shone brightly.

"We'll be there once we get back to training camp. Let's continue fighting in the sea."

Xiang Bei thought that it would be more beneficial to understand the essence of water in the water.

Anyway, he's already at the level of a war god. As long as he doesn't venture too deep into the sea, he won't be killed so easily.

"Hi! Xiang! It really is you!" Just then, a surprised voice rang out from behind. Although the accent was a bit awkward, it was Xia Guoyu (Chinese Mandarin).

Xiang Bei looked back and saw a young man with long green hair and a Western face running frantically.

Not far behind the green-haired youth, a strange fish with legs was chasing him.

"Greece".

Xiang Bei glanced at the young man behind him and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

The young man in front of me was a student in the elite training camp. Seeing him meant that I would finally no longer have to wander in the wild.

"Greyen, we're far enough away to take it down," Xiang Bei said with a smile.

To avoid fighting in the unfavorable environment of water, many trainees in the training camp would lure these aquatic monsters ashore before hunting them.

The same is true of the Western youth named Grein in front of us.

"Okay, Xiang, please wait a moment."

The young man named Grein gave Xiang Bei an OK sign, then quickly turned and rushed towards the strange fish that was chasing him.

In the blink of an eye, a Western one-handed sword had slashed several wounds into the strange fish's body.
