Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

"Haha, Xiang Bei, I'll take these few spirit plants."

Thor chuckled and then selected three of the six virtual images, saying...

However, before Xiang Bei could speak, Jia Yi blocked Thor's path.

Despite the immense pressure of being the world's second strongest, Jia Yi still smiled and said, "Master Thor, please wait. This Blue Grass happens to be somewhat useful to me as well."

The blue cloak contains abundant water-attribute energy, which is the same as his attribute, and can help him cultivate. With the blue cloak, Jia Yi is confident that he can break through to the third level of the planetary stage.

"Hey! The highest bidder wins. Each one is incredibly precious; you can't just give them away like that!"

"Master, Councilor Jia, please calm down." Seeing that the two seemed to have their eyes on the same item, Xiang Bei quickly smoothed things over and said, "Master, I happen to be looking to purchase some items. You two can take a look. If you're willing to make an offer, I'm willing to exchange some plant spirits for them."

As he spoke, Xiang Bei pulled out a list in front of everyone, which contained all the items he needed.

Thor and Jia Yi both looked at the list Xiang Bei had compiled, and after reading it, they couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Xiang Bei wanted to buy quite a few things. Both companies could make gravity chambers, but the ones made in Xia Country were better in performance and cheaper in price.

The same applies to fighter jets; they need to be intelligently controlled and capable of autonomous flight, and these are not cheap.

As for the Dragon Blood, that depends on Thor.

Because only Hong possesses dragon blood, you must seek out Hong if you wish to purchase it.

However, at the level of councilors, everyone knows that Thor and Hong have a close relationship, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to buy some dragon blood at a low price.

Otherwise, the Thunder Martial Arts Elite Training Camp wouldn't be using dragon blood as a reward.

After some discussion, the two finally reached an agreement: each would purchase three spirit plants from Xiang Bei Shou Zhong.

Xiang Bei, on the other hand, received a gravity chamber and a King-class fighter jet.

The gravity chamber and the King-class fighter jet were both provided by Xia Kingdom. Xiang Bei did not expect that Xia Kingdom could produce King-class fighter jets on its own, and their performance was by no means inferior.

However, it is extremely expensive to manufacture and difficult to produce, so it is generally not sold to the public. If Xiang Bei hadn't taken out three plant spirits, this thing would never have been sold.

Thor then presented three portions of dragon blood, two portions of the water of life, and two portions of chalcedony.

Thor only sold it to Xiang Bei because of Xiang Bei's sake.

After all, three portions of dragon blood are not cheap. Although the price is clearly marked, it is generally only used by top geniuses in elite training camps.

Other major powers would only sell one unit at a time, so selling three units at once was already an exception.

Regardless, both sides still felt they had come out ahead.

After the transaction was completed, Thor and Jai did not rush to leave.

The reason is simple: this time, the monster side of the beast tide deployed three king-level monsters.

According to the original agreement, under normal circumstances, King-level monsters and human planetary-level warriors are not allowed to easily attack lower-level warriors or monsters.

This action is clearly a provocation against the agreement that Hong, Thor, and the two Beast Kings made.

As humans, we naturally cannot tolerate this.

Therefore, Hong and Thor took the initiative to step forward and prepare to launch a campaign to wipe out the sea monsters.

Of course, only human councilor-level powerhouses were dispatched.

After all, a War God-level being cannot hold its breath for too long, and it also faces significant constraints in seawater.

The targets are naturally a group of king-level monsters, including the Thunder Dragon King and the Octopus Beast King.

Of course, it's impossible to completely eliminate all King-level and Emperor-level monsters; otherwise, there wouldn't have been an agreement with the monsters.

Thunder Dragon King and Octopus Beast King were naturally no match for Hong and Thunder God.

Hong alone could easily crush the two beast kings, after all, Hong, who had comprehended the domain, was invincible at the same level.

Even in the deep sea, the two great beast kings would be no match for Hong.

However, if the two beast kings do not confront them head-on and instead try to escape, Hong will have no way to kill them in the sea and will also have to worry about the revenge of these monsters after they escape.

However, this attack on the base city by the King-level monsters gave Hong and his team a reason to take action and eliminate a group of King-level monsters.

Otherwise, if the number of monsters becomes too large, and too many King-level monsters are born, the gap between humans and monsters will only widen, which is extremely detrimental to human development.

Of course, the reason these words were told to Xiang Bei was mainly because Xiang Bei had demonstrated strength comparable to that of a councilor-level expert in yesterday's battle.

Some members of parliament within Xia State have even proposed to secure a parliamentary seat for Xiang Bei.

This includes Representative Su, who fought alongside Xiang Bei yesterday.

However, this proposal has not yet been discussed; the more important matter now is the retaliatory action against the monster.

How many powerful councilors will be mobilized? Which of them volunteered to fight? And to what extent will the fight go?

and many more…

Xiang Bei naturally wanted to join the battle, but Thor rejected him, reasoning that Xiang Bei was not yet a true planetary-level powerhouse, had a short breath-holding time and could not fly, which would be detrimental to fighting in the deep ocean.

There is no good way to refute this statement from the North.

However, even if Thor and the others disagree with Xiang Bei's participation in the direct conflict, it doesn't mean that Xiang Bei has no good solutions.

With his current strength, he could use his power to devour those king-level monsters, deliver a devastating blow, and then turn and run.

Those king-level monsters had better pray that their own injuries heal faster than the cooldown time of Xiang Bei's Heart Steel.

Otherwise, these king-level monsters would have no choice but to run away when they see Xiang Bei.

In yesterday's battle, Xiang Bei exerted 6.8 times his normal strength and comprehended the sixth level of "World Destruction".

If Xiang Bei wants to make further progress in the direction of his physical power generation, he can only either comprehend it on his own or find the inheritance of the human race in the universe.

Furthermore, his movement technique successfully reached the realm of artistic conception during the battle, truly integrating his body into the artistic conception of water flow. Within the water, his body surged like water at incredible speed, agile and unpredictable, even capable of competing with king-level monsters.

What surprised Xiang Bei the most was that the outburst of anger in his heart allowed him to comprehend another state of mind within the realm of water.

His attacks were like a torrent of water, as fierce and domineering as crashing waves!

This artistic conception, when integrated into halberd techniques, is extremely powerful; a single strike can severely injure a high-level lord-level monster.

If the Heart Steel's colossal devouring effect were added, the power would be even more terrifying; that strange fish had part of its body shattered by this attack.

Therefore, those king-level monsters either have extremely fast recovery speed or extremely strong defense. Otherwise, these monsters would better run away whenever they see you.

Otherwise, just wait to be worn down and killed by Xiang Bei.

"That's good. King-level monsters have abundant blood and energy, which is perfect for their massive devouring ability," Xiang Bei thought.

It's time to move to the planetary level.

Xiang Bei originally planned to visit Ruins No. 2, but it's only February now, and waiting until September to advance to the planetary level would be too long, which doesn't meet Xiang Bei's expectations.
