Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

Upon leaving the dueling space, Xiang Bei's first act was to find Thor and Hong to share the good news.

Then Xiang Bei was pulled into Thor's private space for a fight, and as expected, Xiang Bei, who had just comprehended the power of the domain, was no match for Thor.

Thor's attack power and burst speed were ridiculously fast. Xiang Bei could only defend as much as possible under his attacks, and it took a long time before he was defeated by Thor.

Next is Hong. If Thor's attacks are violent, swift, fast, and powerful, then Hong's style is completely different from Thor's.

Hong's attack was reflected in his terrifying insight; almost every move he made was frighteningly calm, as if he were incapable of making any mistakes.

Hong's attacks were all aimed at Xiang Bei's weaknesses and mistakes, while Xiang Bei's offensive was completely countered and dodged by Hong.

After several exchanges, Xiang Bei clearly realized that there was still a considerable gap between him and Hong.

In the final exchange of blows, Xiang Bei's body was pierced through by Hong's attack, and he was defeated.

Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou City

Yian District Extreme Martial Arts Hall

Xiang Bei stood alone in a corner of the second-floor hall of the martial arts school, scanning the students who were sweating profusely inside with great interest.

One of the figures, who appeared rather thin, particularly caught Xiang Bei's attention.

This time, Xiang Bei came without notifying anyone, not even Hong and Lei Shen.

There was only one purpose for coming here: to see the chosen one of this world—Luo Feng.

However, at this moment, Luo Feng was far from possessing the terrifying power of the future Lord Luo.

At this moment, Luo Feng was still quite inexperienced, merely an ordinary intermediate martial arts student who had just entered the first year of high school and was diligently training at the Limit Martial Arts Academy.

Having not experienced much hardship and growth, his biggest dream now is to get into a good military academy and then buy his family a bigger house.

"In the end, you've had fewer setbacks, and your mindset needs to be tempered. Staying in one corner isn't what you should be doing." Xiang Bei smiled slightly. "It's time to give you some encouragement, otherwise it would be a waste if you hadn't grown by the time the Golden Horned Beast arrives."

None of him, Hong, Thor, or the others possessed the talent of a psychic, nor did any of them gain Babata's favor or learn the profound secret techniques of possession.

Therefore, even if the Golden Horned Beast arrives, they will not be able to possess it, and wouldn't that be a waste of such a powerful opportunity?

Therefore, Luo Feng's growth is very necessary, and once Luo Feng grows up, he may also be able to obtain Hu Yanbo's inheritance for free through Luo Feng.

Even if it's not the most core aspect of the inheritance, it's still quite valuable.

After all, they don't even have a universe-level inheritance, let alone an immortal-level one.

All that I learned was the basic inheritance from the Qianwu Dojo and the low-level secret techniques I purchased.

This greatly hindered their growth potential.

Xiang Bei remembered that in the original story, Hong and the others only received some non-core inheritances from Hu Yanbo, and their cultivation speed was like a rocket.

In just over a year, Hong and Thor had already become star-level powerhouses. Later, Hong made rapid progress in his domain, reaching the sixth or seventh level in a short period of time.

However, due to the lack of inheritance, Hong and Lei Shen are still struggling at the planetary level, and their domain realm has not yet reached the third level, which is much slower than in the original work.

Therefore, Xiang Bei thought of giving Luo Feng some encouragement to accelerate Luo Feng's growth.

Of course, one cannot force growth; a martial artist's mindset is also very important, and encouragement and training are indispensable.

Thinking this, Xiang Bei disappeared directly from the Yi'an District Extreme Martial Arts Hall, without attracting anyone's attention throughout the entire process.

No one even noticed that Xiang Bei had been here from beginning to end.

At the same time, all high schools across the Xia Kingdom simultaneously received a document from the highest peak.

The specific content is simple: increase the training of martial artists in high schools in Xia Kingdom.

The plan is to establish a college martial arts training fund specifically for training high school martial arts students.

Each student will receive a corresponding subsidy for their education.

Meanwhile, some students who are both talented and hardworking can receive more training subsidies.

This includes, but is not limited to, funds, various cultivation resources, and so on.

Such as Purple Light Dew, diluted version of Purple Light Dew, etc.

Xiang Bei did not intend to create a world where everyone was a martial artist, as Luo Feng in the original story did.

At that time, it was because Earth had already been discovered, leaving Luo Feng with very little time.

If we don't do our best to improve the strength of ordinary people on Earth, then with their general strength, they might not even be as good as slaves in the universe.

Now Xiang Bei has time to slowly cultivate the Xia Kingdom, allowing ordinary martial artists in the Xia Kingdom ample time to solidify their own foundation.

Therefore, Xiang Bei plans to improve the overall strength of Xia State by infiltrating schools and other sectors, except for the military.

The purpose of establishing this foundation is not only to cultivate Luo Feng alone, but also to promote the overall growth of the Xia Kingdom.

As for people outside of Xia Kingdom, I'm sorry, Xiang Bei isn't that selfless.

As for whether Thor and Hong are willing to train them, that's their own business.

Xiang Bei couldn't control it.

Of course, nurturing Luo Feng was also of paramount importance, and for this reason, Bei directly sent his second brother over.

I'm sure my second brother, with his character, will be able to properly allocate these resources.

Over the course of more than a year, the Xiang family has also grown rapidly.

The old man has already reached the first level of planetary rank.

Xiang Bei's father, Xiang Hu, and his uncle, Xiang Jiang, are at the peak of the War God realm and will soon use the Purple Sound Fruit to advance to the Planetary level.

Second Uncle Xianghe was not good at martial arts, but he was still pushed to the level of a beginner war god.

Meanwhile, the younger generation, including Xiang Dong, Xiang Nan, Xiang Qian, Zhang Qiu, and Zhang Dong, have all reached the War God level. It won't be long before they can smoothly advance to the Planetary level. However, they were slightly suppressed by Xiang Bei to allow them to solidify their foundations before making any further progress.

Apart from a few who are still in elementary school, the younger ones have all become formal martial artists, currently at the levels of advanced warriors and generals.

However, with abundant resources at their disposal, their growth to the level of a war god will not be slow.

Therefore, Xiang Bei sent Xiang Nan there. With his god-like strength and Xiang Bei's label, he was more than qualified to serve as a supervisor in Jiangnan Base City.

The next day, Xiang Bei, a true big shot, was pushing things forward behind the scenes.

Luo Feng received a perk as soon as he entered the classroom.

Because he had the physical qualities of an intermediate martial arts student when he first entered high school, and after half a year of hard training.

Therefore, Luo Feng received a second-class incentive subsidy from the school that same day.

He also stated that if he could reach the level of an advanced student at the martial arts school before the end of his first year of high school, he would receive a first-class incentive subsidy.

That day, Luo Feng, who had received the subsidy and training resources, went to the second floor of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall and trained like crazy, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
