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

Chapter 7, I'll even kowtow to you.

The community is quiet and peaceful, with villas scattered along the road, and artificial hills and ponds are all available.

Compared to the place where Jiang Lan lived, which only had a few buildings, this was a place where people could truly live.

Seeing Jiang Lan looking around, Yang Wei said:

"You don't need to be envious. Under normal circumstances, you should have one of these villas soon."

Jiang Lan took a deep breath. Although he already knew that revealing his strength would earn him the attention of the higher-ups at the Limit Martial Arts Academy, he knew that he would gain attention from them.

But when the time actually came, he still felt a little unreal.

Just twenty days ago, Jiang Lan's dream was simply to have enough to eat and wear.

Now that's great! Forget about food and clothing, if he wants, he can have someone feed him every day.

After walking a distance with Wu Tong, the three of them arrived at the towering Extreme Club.

This is the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Yangzhou City—the Extreme Club.

The Yi'an District Extreme Martial Arts Hall, where Jiang Lan previously worked, was a level lower than this Extreme Club.

Those who can train here have at least crossed the threshold of becoming martial artists.

Under normal circumstances, except for the preliminary martial arts assessment, ordinary students cannot even enter the Bright Moon Community, let alone come to this Extreme Club.

Following Wu Tong's footsteps, the three entered the Extreme Club.

"Instructor Wu!"

"Hello, Instructor Wu."

Inside the hall, a group of martial artists greeted Wu Tong upon seeing him.

Wu Tong did not stop, but nodded slightly with a somewhat solemn expression and walked briskly toward the elevator.

Upon entering the elevator, Wu Tong glanced at Jiang Lan and the other person, then said to Yang Wei in a deep voice:

"Xiaowei, do you know how serious it is to lie about students' grades?"

"I know," Coach Yang Wei said solemnly. "I swear on my life that every word I said on the phone was true."

Wu Tong nodded and said nothing more, but his expression remained solemn.

Jiang Lan blinked.

Isn't Wu Tong's behavior a little too serious?

Jiang Lan didn't think too much about it. The strength test was about to begin, and once the results came out, even if Wu Tong wanted to remain serious, he probably wouldn't be able to stay serious anymore.

The elevator slowly ascended, and after a moment of silence, Wu Tong suddenly looked up at Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan thought he was going to say something, but Wu Tong remained silent.

"bite--"

The elevator doors opened.

Jiang Lan followed Wu Tong and the other man out of the elevator.

The training ground here is somewhat similar in structure and furnishings to that of the Yian District Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

However, Jiang Lan could tell at a glance that the equipment and materials here were much more advanced than those in Yi'an District.

Moreover, this place seems to be closed to the public; apart from the three of them, there was no one else training here.

"Kid... your name is Jiang Lan, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

"Alright!" Wu Tong exhaled. "Let's test your punching power first."

Jiang Lan remained silent and walked to the punching power testing machine.

"Listen to me, in the next test, don't hold back at all. This is important for both of us. Remember, give it your all!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan turned to look at Wu Tong and asked, "Is this machine sturdy?"

"Don't worry, this is a machine used by warriors at the general level for testing. It can withstand a maximum force of 50,000 kilograms. Unless you are confident that you can generate more than 50,000 kilograms of force, this punching power testing machine is sturdy."

"I see."

Jiang Lan felt relieved.

Although he felt he was very strong, he probably hadn't reached 50,000 kilograms.

He put in 30% of his effort for the previous nearly 4,000 kilograms of results.

Facing the punching power testing machine, Jiang Lan said in a deep voice, "Then I'll begin."

"it is good."

After agreeing, Wu Tong involuntarily held his breath and stared intently at Jiang Lan, who was standing in front of the punching power testing machine.

Yang Wei was the same, except he was much more nervous than Wu Tong, and his body was even trembling slightly.

Jiang Lan closed her eyes slightly, her calf muscles tensed.

Instantly, a powerful force erupted from his body.

"drink!"

With a soft shout, Jiang Lan's right fist slammed into the punching power testing machine like a battering ram.

"Thump!!!"

The punching power testing machine emitted a loud thud, accompanied by a slight tremor.

Wu Tong and the other man both widened their eyes simultaneously.

Jiang Lan's punch was so fast that even when the two of them were fully focused, they didn't have time to react.

Wu Tong's strength is at the level of a junior general, almost approaching that of a mid-level general.

Even he couldn't see it clearly, which means that Jiang Lan's punch, though slightly faster than his, was still faster.

Yang Wei's strength was only at the high-level warrior level; even Wu Tong couldn't see it clearly, so it was even more impossible for him to catch Jiang Lan's fist.

After a tremor, Jiang Lan looked at the punching power testing machine with a hint of anticipation.

A virtual light screen appeared, and a string of numbers slowly appeared.

14288KG

Wu Tong: "!!!"

Yang Wei: "!!!"

The two of them immediately widened their eyes, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"How much is this?"

Yang Wei was somewhat incredulous and asked Wu Tong.

Wu Tong swallowed hard. "Fourteen thousand..."

Yang Wei could barely contain himself. "Holy crap! Fourteen thousand! Jiang Lan?! You... wait, are you on hormones?"

Wu Tong took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and darted to Jiang Lan's side with lightning speed, his eyes burning with passion as he said:

"Jiang Lan, I want to ask you something."

Jiang Lan was astonished when he saw the numbers displayed on the punching power testing machine. He only came back to his senses when he heard Wu Tong's voice.

"Instructor Wu, please ask."

"I'm asking you, do you have any plans to join our Extreme Martial Arts Academy and become a martial artist there?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan's eyes flickered imperceptibly twice.

"I haven't thought about that yet..."

What are you thinking about? Stop thinking about it! Our Extreme Martial Arts Academy is awesome!

If you join, I'll even give you a kowtow to liven things up!

Wu Tong's mind was racing, but he showed no sign of it, and said in a serious tone:

"Okay, let me give you a brief overview of the general path after becoming a martial artist."

"First: Joining the military has the advantage of relatively high security, but the disadvantage is that you have little freedom and need to obey orders. At the same time, after joining the military, your family will receive good care and many benefits."

"Second: Joining a martial arts school has the advantages of being more relaxed and having more freedom. No one will force you to do anything, and the benefits are not bad."

"The third option is to join a conglomerate or a family and become their henchman. There's not much freedom, but you can get a high fixed salary."

"Fourth, join a mercenary army. This is the riskiest option, but it comes with both danger and opportunity, and the potential benefits are also the greatest."
