Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 4 The bed collapsed from dryness

"Martial Arts Assessment..."

Jiang Lan lay on the bed and muttered something to herself.

With his current strength, passing the martial arts assessment would be incredibly easy for him.

To become a martial artist, 900 kilograms of strength is enough, but Jiang Lan's casual punch carries more than 1,000 kilograms of force.

With a little more effort, it can even reach nearly three thousand kilograms.

As for speed and reflexes, those are certainly not problems for him now.

Jiang Lan immediately decided that once her leg injury had almost healed, she would participate in the martial arts assessment.

As for his rapidly improving strength, he was not worried about that.

Who says he can't be a genius, one in a million?

When faced with geniuses, martial arts schools not only don't harbor suspicion, but actually crave as many as possible.

After all, every additional martial artist means one more layer of security for Earth.

He had been in this world for over a month and had gained a fairly rough understanding of its history. As for the novel, he had read it a long time ago, and many of the details were now very blurry to him.

There are not only humans on Earth today.

Since the RR virus ravaged the world, almost all animals on Earth have mutated and become monsters.

These animals, after being modified, did not have their intelligence enhanced.

Not only that, after gaining great power, the ferocity in these beasts' hearts was also aroused, making them even more vicious and violent than before.

After that, the monsters began to launch a large-scale attack on human settlements.

Ordinary firearms are completely useless against mutated monsters.

Firearms can still be somewhat effective against some low-level monsters, but against high-level monsters, they can't even penetrate their skin, flesh, or scales.

Even nuclear bombs can only have some effect on the core area of ​​the blast radius; as for the area where the radiation spreads, they cannot have even the slightest effect on the monster.

The monsters seemed endless, forcing humanity into a series of retreats, until they could only defend their base cities.

As for other once-prosperous metropolises, most of them have become playgrounds for monsters.

Over such a long period of time, a strange balance has formed between humans and monsters.

But as long as those monsters live, humanity can never be completely at ease.

Therefore, regardless of which side is involved, the attitude towards geniuses will always be to nurture them with all their might, rather than to harbor unfounded suspicions.

After finishing her thoughts, Jiang Lan lay down on the bed.

Next, I just need to wait for my injuries to heal so I can go to the martial arts gym for a test.

Just then, Jiang Lan seemed to suddenly remember something and abruptly sat up.

"system?"

"system?"

I called out several times, but the system didn't respond at all, as if it didn't exist at all.

In fact, the mysterious system in Jiang Lan's mind has not appeared since the last sacrifice of the Black-crowned Golden Eagle.

But Jiang Lan's physique cannot be faked.

Seeing no response, Jiang Lan whispered again, "Backpack?"

As he finished speaking, the scene before him underwent a strange change.

A 10x10 grid appears, similar to a character's inventory in a game.

In the first compartment of the backpack, there is a golden halberd.

With a thought, Jiang Lan conjured the halberd in his hand.

"boom!"

A sudden feeling of weightlessness came over me, then quickly disappeared.

Jiang Lan was dumbfounded.

The bed collapsed?

no……

How could this bed collapse?

Jiang Lan struggled to her feet, carrying her battle halberd, and placed one leg on the ground.

After looking around, Jiang Lan's gaze settled on the golden halberd gleaming in his hand.

The halberd resembled a halberd in shape, except that its blade seemed to be made of feathers, reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight streaming through the window, making it quite a sight.

Jiang Lan weighed it in his hand and found that it was only a little heavy, not very heavy for him.

But that's only true for him. Considering that the Golden Feather Halberd collapsed the bed as soon as it appeared, this thing must weigh at least a thousand or eight hundred pounds.

However, Jiang Lan had no idea how much it was exactly.

He swung his halberd twice, the halberd scraping against the air and making a series of whooshing sounds.

Jiang Lan was somewhat surprised; this thing seemed quite handy.

Previously, he was just an ordinary person, a complete novice when it came to weapons. He couldn't even handle a kitchen knife, let alone such a heavy halberd.

But once he got his hands on it, Jiang Lan wielded it with exceptional fluidity, as if he had become one with the halberd in a fantastical way.

Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Lan's mind flickered, and the halberd vanished from his hand.

Looking at the backpack again, there is now a small icon of a halberd.

Jiang Lan blinked.

That's great! The system even comes with a free personal storage space?

On a whim, Jiang Lan took two steps forward and stood in front of the punching power testing machine that he had just broken, his mind racing.

The punching power testing machine in front of him disappeared instantly and appeared in the second slot of his backpack.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Lan's eyes gleamed with admiration.

One item per slot?

I just don't know if there are any size restrictions on the items inside these grids.

If there were no restrictions, then...

After looking around, Jiang Lan walked to the bedside.

With another thought, the collapsed single bed completely disappeared, and a small icon of a single bed appeared in the third compartment of his backpack.

"Awesome..."

Jiang Lan couldn't help but sigh.

Now that there's nothing bigger at hand to experiment with again, Jiang Lan had no choice but to temporarily abandon the idea of ​​continuing the experiment.

Leaning on her crutches, Jiang Lan walked to another bedroom and lay down on the bed again.

He frowned and muttered to himself:

"I estimate it will take another five or six days to think things through."

Perhaps because his physical condition improved, his cell activity also increased. The doctor estimated that it would take him about a month to fully recover.

But Jiang Lan knew his own condition well. He felt that it wouldn't take that long; in another five or six days, he would be able to basically recover.

Even if the recovery isn't complete, the injury certainly won't affect his mobility by then.

Right now, Jiang Lan is eager to recover from her injuries and participate in the martial arts assessment.

Becoming a martial artist allows one to obtain more corpses, which means one can become stronger.

A black-crowned golden eagle brought about earth-shattering changes to his body.

In Jiang Lan's memory, even the God of War among humans on Earth wouldn't even qualify as an apprentice in the universe.

Above the apprentice level, there are planets, stars, the universe...

If we got our hands on a high-level corpse, wouldn't we be able to take off immediately?

If you get a top-tier corpse to sacrifice, wouldn't you become invincible?

Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Lan's goal had already shifted from being a foreman half a month ago to now traversing the universe.

Amidst the jumbled thoughts in her mind, Jiang Lan drifted off to sleep...
