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

Chapter 57 Director Zhuge

half a month later.

Kyoto base city, 3,000 meters above the ground.

Jiang Lan's figure flashed across the sky like a bolt of lightning.

The whistling wind and the piercing sonic booms echoed in his ears, but all of these sounds were diluted by the strange magnetic field emitted from the planet within his dantian.

Even he himself was enveloped and protected by a magnetic field, and even when flying at extremely high speeds, he did not feel any discomfort.

Jiang Lan raised her wrist and looked at the location on her watch.

It is 1285 kilometers away from the Jiangnan Base City Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

1284...1283...

……

Twenty minutes later.

Jiang Lan looked at the somewhat familiar streets and buildings below and grinned.

In short, awesome!

He covered the distance of 1,300 kilometers in just twenty minutes.

This means that his speed has reached more than a thousand meters per second.

And that was without him using his full strength.

If flying at full speed, and with the Swift Shadow state activated, Jiang Lan estimates that this speed could be increased by about 50%.

He landed lightly on the ground, and not far in front of him was the headquarters of Jiangnan Extreme Martial Arts School.

At the entrance of the guild hall, a group of heavily armed soldiers were taken aback when they saw Jiang Lan suddenly land on the ground.

It flew down?

However, their professionalism prevented them from showing their surprise.

"Hello sir, may I ask who you are...?"

The soldiers work in shifts, and Jiang Lan has only visited this martial arts school a few times, so it's normal that they don't recognize him.

Just as Jiang Lan was about to speak, she saw Uncle Bai, with a full head of silver hair, taking a walk in the courtyard of the headquarters ahead.

"Jiang Lan?"

Bai Bo also saw Jiang Lan and hurriedly came forward to greet him, saying to the group of soldiers at the door:

"He's an employee of the martial arts school, let him in."

Jiang Lan didn't recognize him, but Bai Bo and the others did.

So after hearing what Bai Bo said, the soldiers automatically stepped aside to make way for Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan smiled and said, "Thank you all for your help."

Having just achieved a breakthrough, he was in a very good mood, so his tone was also very kind.

After passing several soldiers, Jiang Lan walked into the courtyard of the martial arts school.

Uncle Bai chuckled and said, "I heard from the curator that you went to the wilderness area, didn't you?"

Jiang Lan was taken aback. "The curator?"

"Look, I forgot to tell you." Uncle Bai's smile didn't fade. "Manager Zhuge has been promoted. He's now the director of the Jiangnan Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Jiang Lan exclaimed in surprise.

Only three or four days after he left, Zhuge Tao was promoted?

"Thanks to you, the Master originally planned to transfer Supervisor Zhuge to headquarters, but Supervisor Zhuge said you were here. So, he didn't get to go to headquarters and had to stay here as the Master."

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

Good grief, he's even giving up a promotion for him?

"Uncle Bai, where is Brother Tao now?"

"We went to the Extreme Sports Club in Yangzhou City."

"What were you doing there?"

He just got promoted, why isn't he staying in his own place and instead running off to Wu Tong's place?

"Isn't today the preliminary martial arts assessment? The headmaster got up early and went there, but my old bones can't take the strain, so I didn't go."

"An assessment? Aspiring martial artists?"

Jiang Lan raised her wrist and realized that today was July 1st.

He was a little embarrassed.

Originally, he only planned to enjoy himself in the rented villa for two days before returning to Jiangnan Base City.

But Kyoto base city is a big city after all, and its construction is much better than that of Jiangnan base city. There are also more delicious food and fun things to do.

So, without stopping in time, Jiang Lan realized that he had been in Kyoto base city for half a month before he rushed back.

However, Jiang Lan felt that this was not bad.

After all, breaking through to the planetary level in twenty days is obviously easier for people to accept than breaking through in three days.

Thoughts flashed through Jiang Lan's mind, and as if suddenly remembering something, she looked up at Bai Bo and said:

"That can't be right... Brother Tao is the head of the gym now, why would he personally go to such a trivial matter as the preliminary martial arts assessment?"

Bai Bo smiled mysteriously.

But he didn't keep us in suspense and continued:

"Isn't it all because of you? The curator now thinks Yangzhou is a great place with lots of geniuses, so he insists on going there to see if he can find any promising talents."

Jiang Lan: "..."

Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me.

Uncle Bai added, "If the curator finds out you're back, he'll be overjoyed. Here, wait a moment, I'll give the curator a call."

"Eh..."

Jiang Lan was about to refuse, but although Uncle Bai was old, he was very nimble. Before Jiang Lan could speak, the call had already been made.

"Hey... Curator, Jiang Lan is back."

"Ah...yes, you're here to pick me up? Oh, okay."

After hanging up the phone, Uncle Bai smiled at Jiang Lan and said, "The curator said he'll come back to pick you up."

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

He had originally planned not to go and join in the fun of the martial arts assessment.

This is really bad...

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lan waved her hand and said, "Forget it, there's no need for him to come over. It's too much trouble. I'll just go directly there."

Uncle Bai was taken aback. "You're going there? It would take almost an hour by car. It's better for the curator to fly you there; it only takes a few minutes round trip."

Jiang Lan smiled mysteriously.

"It's okay, I can go by myself."

airplane?

Is an airplane as fast as him?

Although the best intelligent fighter jet in the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy is much faster than his.

But Zhuge Tao's war machine was just the most ordinary one.

A speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour is the absolute maximum.

But Jiang Lan's current speed is one kilometer per second, which translates to 3,600 kilometers per hour.

"Well... alright then." Although Bai Bo didn't understand, he just assumed that Jiang Lan didn't want to trouble Zhuge Tao, so he didn't stop her. "Then I'll tell the curator to be careful on the road."

"Don't worry, Uncle Bai."

Bai Bo didn't see Jiang Lan descend from the sky. If he had known that Jiang Lan had reached the planetary level and could fly, he wouldn't have given her such instructions.

However, Jiang Lan didn't intend to pretend. After saying goodbye to Bai Bo, she turned around and left the headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Academy.

After leaving the house, Jiang Lan's figure flickered a few times and disappeared from the street.

A few seconds later, Jiang Lan appeared in a deserted alley. After checking that no one was around, he took off and, in just a moment, was already a thousand meters in the air.

During his two weeks at the Kyoto base, he had already honed his flying skills to perfection.

Let alone ordinary flying, even doing the splits in the sky would be a piece of cake for Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan was much more familiar with the Jiangnan base city. He didn't even need to look at the navigation. After finding the general direction, he flew directly to the location of the Yangzhou City Extreme Club headquarters.
