Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

Underground training room

The two figures collided like a whirlwind.

The sounds of weapons clashing echoed like thunderclaps incessantly in the underground training room.

"Boom boom boom"

Countless thunderclaps erupted, and suddenly a figure vanished from the front like a phantom, then quickly reappeared behind another person.

However, before the former could attack, the latter seemed to have eyes, and a long halberd swept past like the wind.

"Whoosh!"

The halberd pierced through the former's spear, bypassed the round shield's defense, and appeared directly in front of the opponent's throat, preventing the woman holding the halberd from taking another step forward.

"You lost!"

Xiang Bei flashed a bright white smile, beaming with delight.

Belinda, who was facing Xiang Bei with his halberd pressed against her throat, looked much more dejected!

She couldn't understand how the boy, who had been brutally abused by her just two months ago, could have improved so drastically.

It's only been two months, and the other party's strength has already surpassed hers!

She believes that only through continuous real-world combat can an individual's skills improve rapidly.

But no one told her that someone could do something so outrageous.

In just two months, he went from a complete novice to a terrifying war god!

This guy even told me that he had experienced the feeling of artistic conception once, although in the end, when the artistic conception faded, it only left him with some lingering insights.

However, even though the method of double-sided contradictions has been perfected for several years, she has never been able to grasp even the slightest fluctuation of its artistic conception.

Is this the difference between an ordinary person and a peerless genius?

For the first time, Belinda felt insecure about her talent.

It remembered that it had also graduated from an elite training camp.

Xiang Bei said he couldn't empathize with Belinda's frustration, just as she couldn't empathize with him when he was beaten up by her.

However, he also understood Belinda's thoughts; it was indeed not a good feeling to be quickly surpassed by one's own student in a short period of time.

"How about I come and help you comprehend the essence of the art someday? Don't worry, with my talent, that day won't be too far away!" Xiang Bei said tentatively.

Belinda's eyes lit up immediately. If there were a powerful expert who could comprehend the essence of things and guide her through it, wouldn't her comprehension of the essence of things be faster?

She has been stuck at the Perfection level for several years, and still has no clue about the Realm of Artistic Conception.

However, upon hearing Xiang Bei's last sentence, Belinda's mood instantly plummeted to freezing point.

What do you mean by "with your talent, that day won't be too far away"?

Are you deliberately trying to annoy me?

"roll!"

Belinda didn't want to see him; she needed to go to a bar to calm down.

As he spoke, he simply abandoned the conflict and turned to leave the underground training room.

Xiang Bei chuckled, his revenge successful!

After being beaten for two months, they finally turned the tables.

After leaving Belinda's basement, Xiang Bei did not choose to go out to hunt monsters or cultivate in Thunder Fortress today.

When Thor learned that Xiang Bei had personally killed two Lord-level monsters, he had already graduated from the elite training camp.

After all, the standard for the elite training camp is to reach the level of a war god to graduate.

However, Xiang Bei's situation was relatively special, and he planned to personally teach him cultivation, which is why he did not let him leave the elite training camp.

However, Xiang Bei's score is no longer included in the ranking.

There is no need to train alongside the students in the elite training camp.

In other words, Xiang Bei now has considerable freedom of time and is no longer subject to other restrictions.

Of course, if Thor needs him, he will definitely go.

Besides, he wouldn't be absent if Thor personally guided him.

However, Thor had just finished his seclusion, and there were still many things that the Thunder Martial Arts Academy needed him to handle.

Instructing Xiang Bei on his cultivation will have to be postponed for a few more days.

However, Xiang Bei was not in a hurry. His strength was still on the rise and he had not encountered any so-called bottleneck.

Of course, there's another reason he's in the training camp today: the gift Thor promised him is about to arrive.

Three complete manuals, an SSS-level set, the Black God set, and the Millennium Willow Heart.

They are undoubtedly treasures.

But what he was actually waiting for today was the complete manual!

To be precise, it was Hong's marksmanship, "World Destruction".

Although Thor's level of power amplitude is deeper, reaching a level of 7 times the power.

However, Xiang Bei cultivates with long-handled weapons, and Hong's understanding of the realm of intent is far superior to Thor's. Hong is also the only strong person on Earth who possesses a domain.

Xiang Bei did not seek to comprehend anything more profound, such as the concept of a domain, from "The Annihilation of the World."

He only hopes to draw inspiration from "The Apocalypse" to further his understanding of its artistic conception.

As for the heartwood of the thousand-year-old willow tree, Xiang Bei didn't even plan to use it himself.

With his heart made of steel, he has no need for something like a thousand-year-old willow heartwood.

In some ways, the feedback from Heart Steel might even be better.

He planned to give the thousand-year-old willow heartwood to his grandfather, Xiang Shan.

The old man had been at the intermediate-level War God level for many years, but due to severe injuries, his fundamental source was damaged, and his strength regressed instead of improving.

Although the injuries were healed after using the Water of Life, it was not easy to make further progress.

After using the heartwood of the thousand-year-old willow tree, the old man will be able to reach the peak of the God of War.

We'll figure out a way to get the old man a Wood Sprout Crystal or something, and push him to the planetary level.

With a planetary-level expert protecting him at home, he can confidently venture into the universe!

As Xiang Bei was planning his family's future, an armored vehicle with a black lightning bolt graffiti sped towards them from a distance outside the training camp gate.

The large armored vehicle stopped in the open space of the training camp, and then with a "whoosh," the door of the large armored vehicle opened, facing the location where Xiang Bei was.

"Mr. Xiang Bei, please get in the car."

The voice came from inside, and Xiang Bei could clearly see that it was a woman from the Xia Kingdom.

After Xiang Bei boarded the armored vehicle, he discovered that there was not only the Xia woman inside, but a three-person team.

Judging from Xiang Bei's current perception abilities, these three are most likely all powerhouses at the level of War Gods.

Three war gods were dispatched to escort a single shipment.

However, considering how precious these items are, it's not surprising.

"Mr. Xiang Bei, please cooperate with us for identity verification next," the Xia woman said with a smile.

The remaining two war gods of different races adopted a cautious gaze, not only wary of Xiang Bei, but also wary of the surrounding movements.

They had no choice but to be cautious, as the items inside were personally ordered to be delivered by the museum owner.

Just what they saw was a complete set of SSS-level equipment.

Keep in mind that the three of them haven't even managed to collect a full SSS-level outfit yet, not to mention that in addition to this outfit, there are three silver briefcases, the contents of which they are not allowed to know.

After verifying their identities, although the three were very curious about what was inside, they wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

The war gods who could work at the Thunder Martial Arts Academy headquarters were also very well-informed. They had heard about how much effort the Thunder God had put into fighting Xiang Bei's whereabouts.

Moreover, they also knew that Xiang Bei was a war god, and his strength should not be underestimated.

They couldn't afford to offend a powerful warrior who had caught the eye of the Thunder God Pavilion Master and was likely to be personally mentored by him.
