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

Chapter 61 I Fly Here

In the lobby of the Yangzhou City Extreme Club.

Wu Tong looked at Luo Feng and the other two students who had just passed the preliminary martial artist assessment, and said with a smile:

"Alright, I've explained everything I needed to. Today's assessment is over. Now, the three of you can go home. The preliminary martial artist certificates need to be stamped and approved by higher authorities, which will take a few days. We'll notify you then."

"By the way, as I mentioned before, the practical assessment is on the first of next month. Don't slack off these next few days, and remember to train hard when you get back. The chances of something unexpected happening during the practical assessment are quite high, so remember, you must be responsible for yourself."

Perhaps because he was in a good mood, Wu Tong gave him a few more instructions.

"Yes, instructor!" Luo Feng and the other two replied in unison.

"If there's nothing else, you may leave."

"Thank you, instructor."

Behind Luo Feng, two students who had just passed the martial arts assessment smiled and thanked him before preparing to leave.

Only Luo Feng looked at Jiang Lan, who was still sitting in her seat, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan stood up from his seat and said to Zhuge Tao beside him:

"I'm catching up with my classmates."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

Zhuge Tao readily agreed, smiling broadly.

Of course, he couldn't possibly disagree.

After all, Jiang Lan's status and position are now much higher than his.

Upon arriving beside Luo Feng, Jiang Lan looked him up and down.

"Do you have something to ask me?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was about to speak when Jiang Lan interrupted him, saying, "Let's go downstairs and talk."

……

Inside the bar on the first floor of the Extreme Club.

"Ask whatever you want."

Luo Feng looked conflicted, and after a long while, he finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

"So... how did you become a martial artist? And they all seem to treat you with great respect."

"Didn't I just tell you? I encountered some opportunities and became a martial artist by chance." Jiang Lan picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip through the straw, and continued, "As for respect, not really... If I had to say, it would be that my strength is pretty good now."

Luo Feng was stunned.

opportunity?

What opportunity could make the higher-ups at the Jiangnan Extreme Martial Arts Academy headquarters willingly give him the central seat?

Although he had many doubts in his heart, Luo Feng did not show them.

A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Everyone was worried about you, thinking something had happened to you. It's good that you're alright now."

Jiang Lan isn't a three-year-old child, so of course she wouldn't believe Luo Feng's words; they were obviously just trying to coax her.

Back in school, he was practically invisible; it would be a miracle if anyone cared about him.

Jiang Lan knew this, but on the surface, she still wore a smile.

"It's alright, look at me now, I'm perfectly fine." As she spoke, Jiang Lan stood up from her seat. "I have something to do later, so I'll stop here for now. Let's talk again if there's a chance later."

He asked Luo Feng to come down to explain the doubts in Luo Feng's mind.

Although his words were ambiguous, whether Luo Feng believed them or not was none of Jiang Lan's business.

He just didn't want to give people the impression that he looked down on the people around him from the past just because he had become successful.

Although Jiang Lan wasn't particularly interested in Luo Feng, she could always find the time to exchange a few words with him.

"Alright then."

Seeing that Jiang Lan was about to leave, Luo Feng didn't dwell on it any longer and stood up as well.

Judging from Jiang Lan's expression, the fact that she was willing to talk to him so much was already a great favor to him.

The two had just stood up when the elevator doors in the lobby opened.

Zhuge Tao, Wu Tong, and two other prospective martial artists who had just passed their assessments walked out of the elevator together.

Two aspiring martial artists saw Luo Feng walking towards the bar and waved to him.

"You lunatic, didn't we agree to go eat? Why did you run off by yourself?"

"Coming, coming." Luo Feng said, but didn't move. Instead, he turned to Jiang Lan and said, "Jiang Lan... I'll be going now."

"Go ahead, go ahead," Jiang Lan readily agreed.

As soon as Luo Feng stepped out of the small door of the bar, he saw Wu Tong and Zhuge Tao with smiles on their faces.

Upon seeing Luo Feng, Wu Tong nodded slightly to him.

Immediately afterwards, Zhuge Tao called out to Jiang Lan, who was not far away:

"Let's go eat, Lan-ge!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng paused slightly, then walked up to the two prospective martial artists who had just passed the assessment, as if nothing had happened.

……

Ten minutes later, in a private room at an upscale restaurant near Mingyue Residential Area.

"Brother Lan, I haven't had a chance to ask you yet, have you been in the wilderness for twenty days?"

"No," Jiang Lan shook her head, "I was back in three days."

"Three days?" Zhuge Tao's eyes widened. "Then these ten-odd days..."

"I went to Kyoto base city." Jiang Lan told the truth without any intention of hiding anything.

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's words, both Zhuge Tao and Wu Tong looked completely puzzled.

Zhuge Tao asked in confusion:

"Why did you suddenly go there?"

"Breakthrough." Jiang Lan said casually.

But to Zhuge Tao and Wu Tong, those two words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making their heads buzz.

breakthrough?

There's no such thing as a breakthrough for martial artists on Earth.

Once your physical fitness meets the requirements and you pass the test, you'll be at the corresponding level. There's no such thing as a breakthrough.

Zhuge Tao suddenly thought of a possibility.

His face was filled with horror as he stared at Jiang Lan, his pupils trembling violently.

"You...surpass...surpass the God of War?"

Aside from breaking through to the God of War level, Zhuge Tao couldn't think of any other level that would require a breakthrough.

"Yes."

Jiang Lan's answer was concise and to the point.

"Huh???" Zhuge Tao's heart stopped, and it took him a long time to react before he let out a long breath.

Not surprised, not surprised.

He wouldn't be surprised if Jiang Lan claimed to be the Jade Emperor reincarnated.

got used to.

What is talent?

The talent of an ordinary person is nothing compared to Jiang Lan's.
