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

Chapter 58 Luo Feng

Two minutes later.

Looking down at the familiar neighborhood, Jiang Lan let out a long breath.

The Yangzhou City Extreme Martial Arts Club is about 60 to 70 kilometers away from the headquarters of the Jiangnan Base City Extreme Martial Arts Club.

However, Jiang Lan did not move at full speed, so she was a little slow.

If you go at full speed, it will only take a minute.

Falling from the sky, Jiang Lan landed directly inside the residential area, in front of her own villa.

There were two packages on the door, covered with a thin layer of dust, indicating that they had been there for some time.

Jiang Lan was taken aback at first, but then he immediately remembered that the package must have been sent to him by the War God Palace.

Virtual reality headset?

Jiang Lan casually opened the door, but instead of opening it immediately, she placed the two packages next to the shoe cabinet, closed the security door again, and walked towards the clubhouse next door.

The villa and the martial arts school were very close. Jiang Lan had only walked a few steps when she arrived at the entrance of the martial arts school.

Outside the door stood a squad of heavily armed soldiers.

However, these soldiers recognized Jiang Lan, and many of them were somewhat surprised when they saw that Jiang Lan had fallen directly from the sky.

Despite this, no one said anything. The leading soldier simply greeted Jiang Lan, and then the soldiers parted in the middle, revealing the inner gate.

Jiang Lan thanked him and pushed open the door to enter the clubhouse.

As soon as he entered, he saw Zhuge Tao coming down from the elevator.

Upon seeing Jiang Lan, Zhuge Tao was visibly taken aback.

"You...this..."

Zhuge Tao blinked, as if he thought he was seeing things.

If he remembered correctly, he had just received a call from Uncle Bai before entering the elevator, saying that Jiang Lan was coming by herself and he didn't need to pick her up.

No.

He just got off the elevator.

From the time he received the call until now, it hasn't even been a minute, right?

Teleport?

"Tao-ge, are you unhappy to see me?"

Jiang Lan said with a smile.

Zhuge Tao then realized what was happening and quickly said, "No, no... I was just curious, how did you get here from headquarters so quickly? Did the martial arts school provide you with a fighter jet? I didn't hear that earlier!"

"Don't worry about me yet, how did the assessment go?"

When the assessment was mentioned, Zhuge Tao perked up.

"It hasn't started yet, but I have a feeling that this assessment will definitely produce some good talents."

Jiang Lan couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

It has to be said that Zhuge Tao's premonition seemed to be quite accurate.

It was only on his way back that he realized today was the day that City Lord Luo Feng was taking the preliminary martial arts assessment.

Jiang Lan glanced down at the communication watch on her wrist; it was already 9:30 a.m.

"What time does it start?"

"Ten o'clock." Zhuge Tao gestured towards the small bar on the first floor. "Not all the participants have arrived yet. Once everyone is here, we'll all go upstairs for the assessment at ten o'clock."

Just then, the door to the first floor of the martial arts school was pushed open again, and a soldier led a young man in.

After seeing the young man inside, the soldier left.

Inside the hall, a young girl greeted a young man.

"Sir, are you here to take the preliminary martial arts assessment?"

The young man nodded slightly.

"Yes, sir," the girl said. "Just sit there and wait. At ten o'clock in the morning, you will take the test along with the others."

Jiang Lan and Zhuge Tao stood side by side, looking at the young man.

Zhuge Tao's eyes lit up, and he said to Jiang Lan:

"I think this kid has good talent, and he's young. He looks about your age."

"It's good."

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth.

The young man who just came in—isn't that Luo Feng?

If he's not talented, then nobody is.

Jiang Lan couldn't help but admire Zhuge Tao; he truly had an accurate eye for people.

Seemingly having overheard Jiang Lan and Zhuge Tao discussing him, the young man turned his gaze toward the two of them.

At this time, Luo Feng did not know Zhuge Tao, but he did know Jiang Lan.

Upon seeing Jiang Lan, Luo Feng immediately frowned slightly, as if he were carefully identifying something.

After a long pause, he asked, somewhat incredulously, "You... Jiang Lan?"

Zhuge Tao was also taken aback. "He knows you?"

"Yeah, high school classmate." Jiang Lan replied casually, then took a few steps forward and walked up to Luo Feng.

"have not seen you for a long time."

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's words, Luo Feng also said, "Long time no see."

As he spoke, he asked with some curiosity:

"What have you been doing all this time? You've stopped going to school, and I heard you didn't even take the college entrance exam?"

Jiang Lan was also somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, Luo Feng still remembered him, the nobody from his school days.

"I was injured and have been in the hospital ever since, so I missed the exam."

Jiang Lan gave a casual reply.

He had no intention of deliberately getting close to Luo Feng, nor did he intend to deliberately distance himself from him.

Just let things take their natural course.

Anyway, given his rate of progress, he'll probably have no contact with Luo Feng at all soon.

Luo Feng nodded, then seemed to remember something, his eyes flashing.

"Isn't this Limitless Gathering only for martial artists or those taking the preliminary martial artist exam? Are you here to take the exam too?"

"No, I'm a martial artist." Jiang Lan grinned, making no attempt to hide it. "I had a fortuitous encounter before, and my strength reached the required level, so I became a martial artist."

Congratulations!

Luo Feng offered compliments, but inwardly he was even more puzzled.

To become a martial artist, isn't it necessary to participate in the martial artist assessment?

But this is the only preliminary martial artist assessment in recent months. How did Jiang Lan become a martial artist?

Was it like that when you were in school?

Thinking of this, Luo Feng subconsciously rejected the idea.

impossible.

Although Jiang Lan had little contact with him before, he knew that Jiang Lan was just a junior student at a martial arts school, so how could she have become a martial artist so early?

Jiang Lan smiled, offering no explanation for Luo Feng's question.

"I'm going upstairs now, see you later."

"Ah..." Luo Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked up. "Oh, okay."

……

Inside the elevator, Zhuge Tao asked with some curiosity:

"You mean that kid named Luo Feng is really talented?"

"Yes, very good," Jiang Lan said truthfully.

He had no interest in belittling one and praising the other. After all, the gap between Luo Feng and him at this moment was like that between a firefly and the bright moon, which he could completely ignore.

Jiang Lan didn't have any ill feelings towards Luo Feng, and the two had no conflict of interest. Saying a few nice words to him wouldn't hurt.

Of course, if it involves my own interests, then I'm sorry.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on him for a bit." Zhuge Tao said, "If you don't have anything else to do, stay here for a while. The preliminary martial arts assessment will be over in a little over an hour. After it's over, we'll go have a meal together."

Jiang Lan nodded.

"Speaking of which, I haven't congratulated you on becoming the curator yet."
