Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

September 28th, 1:30 PM, Jiangnan Base City Airport.

"Son, once you get there, train hard and take good care of yourself," Jiang Mingchao, the father, instructed.

"Xiao Chen, take care of yourself, don't overwork yourself." Mother Luo Xinyin looked at her son with reluctance.

"Don't worry, Dad, Mom," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"Brother, I'll miss you."

"Brother, brother, come back soon, let's play together."

The younger brother and sister waved their little hands at Jiang Chen, looking somewhat reluctant, with tears even welling up in their eyes.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be back soon," Jiang Chen said with a smile.

His parents, younger brother, and younger sister are all worried and afraid that something might happen to their son. This was the case when they went to the wilderness area, and it is the same now.

However, this is the destiny of every martial artist. Choosing the path of a martial artist means having more power, authority, and wealth than ordinary people. This comes with a higher rate of injury and death, as well as a responsibility to protect ordinary people.

This is the path of martial artists!

Jiang Chen looked at her parents, younger brother, and younger sister for a long time before turning around and running towards the airport security checkpoint. On the other side, the twin sisters who were going to the basic training camp were also saying goodbye to their parents with reluctance.

The entire airport was shaped like a giant flying saucer, so Jiang Chen and his group simply walked over to it.

"Mr. Yang, your seats are all on the top floor," a beautiful flight attendant said with a smile.

"Okay." Yang Hui nodded and went up the stairs.

Jiang Chen and her twin sisters followed behind, curiously observing what was happening inside the plane, looking like curious children.

Nowadays, due to the threat of flying monsters and the high cost of airliners, airfares are no longer an option for ordinary people.

Even martial artists rarely travel to other base cities by expensive passenger plane unless they have something to do.

Because the passenger plane is shaped like a flying saucer, the interior cabin is divided into a top floor, a middle floor, and a bottom floor.

The top floor is for first class. The middle and bottom floors are for economy class.

Economy class is said to be so cramped that it's hard to even stretch your legs. This time, Jiang Chen's flight was reimbursed by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, so he went straight to the top floor and sat in first class.

If Jiang Chen were to travel by plane again, he would have to pay for the ticket himself. Several large passenger planes from China would be flying from the six major base cities to the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. The ticket price was 1000 million Chinese yuan for economy class and 2000 million Chinese yuan for first class.

After researching some information, Jiang Chen realized why neither the wealthy nor ordinary martial artists travel by passenger plane anymore—it's simply too expensive.

For martial artists, having tens of millions of dollars is less desirable than saving it. Once they have enough, they can buy more powerful manuals and tougher equipment to increase their chances of survival in the wilderness.

Boom...

Amidst the deep roar of the UFO-shaped passenger plane, the enormous UFO-shaped passenger plane took off smoothly.

Like the trains heading to the wilderness, the passenger planes are completely enclosed, so you can't see the outside scenery.

However, there are onboard televisions that can be watched. Nowadays, movies are all 3D projections, which are very realistic and attractive.

Jiang Chen watched the romance movie for a while, but found it boring, so he closed his eyes and pretended to doze off.

"I finally mastered the second level of the World Destroyer Gun Technique on the night of September 26th. My strength has improved again, and my chances of passing the assessment and becoming a member of the elite training camp have increased significantly."

"On September 25th, I had a drink with Luo Feng and the others. I got a little tipsy and didn't cultivate that night. Instead, I rested well and didn't get up until noon the next day. My spear training was even more effective."

"Having mastered some basic gun techniques of the second level of the World Destroyer Gun Technique, I successfully practiced the second level that night."

"Could it be that a balance of relaxation and rest is the right path? In the past, I only focused on killing monsters and cultivating every day. Was I too impatient?"

"The World-Destroying Gun Technique requires not only mastering the spear but also cultivating the mind!"

Jiang Chen closed his eyes, his mind still reflecting on his recent progress and summarizing some insights into the World-Destroying Spear Technique.

An hour and a half later, the UFO-shaped passenger plane successfully arrived at the location of the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy—Hongning Base City.

After leaving the airport, Jiang Chen and his three companions took the martial arts school's special vehicle to the headquarters.

Along the way, replicas of pavilions and towers from the base city could be seen everywhere, as if Jiang Chen had been transported to the distant ancient times of China.

"Back during the Great Nirvana period, the Master and a group of followers built a simple human base on this land, allowing many refugees to live there. As time went by, Hongning Base City grew larger and larger," Yang Hui said with a smile. "Our Hongning Base City only has a population of 8000 million, but it is the base city in the world that has produced the most martial artists."

There are five major powers and 23 base cities in the world. Hong controls one of these base cities, making him the undisputed number one person on Earth!

Jiang Chen nodded slightly as he listened, feeling a sense of longing in his heart. He longed to become the first person on Earth and wondered what kind of scene it would be.

At the same time, he also developed a sense of admiration for Hong.

If Luo Feng is the protagonist of humanity's journey into the universe...

Therefore, Hong was the protagonist of the Great Nirvana period on Earth!

At that time, global evolution occurred, and countless animals evolved into monsters. When ordinary firearms and weapons lost their threat to the monsters, humanity experienced terror for the first time, being hunted by countless monsters, and human survival was in grave danger.

Hong suddenly appeared at this time, turned the tide, excavated the relics of ancient civilization, and finally successfully broke through to become a planetary-level martial artist. He led countless human martial artists to save countless humans from the jaws of monsters.

Establish a base city, set up an extreme martial arts school to train martial artists, slay monsters, and save the people.

Hong is undoubtedly the number one person on Earth!

Hongning Base City is incredibly prosperous. Because Hong is here, no monster dares to come and harass the base city. Even king-level monsters will perish if they come.

This has led to countless wealthy and powerful people wanting to live here, and there are also a large number of martial artists and their families. If Hong hadn't deliberately controlled it, the population would have exceeded 100 million long ago, and it wouldn't be surprising if 300 to 500 million people lived here.

"We've arrived at the training camp, let's get off the bus," Yang Hui said. "This is the elite training camp. Ivy, Amy, you two come in and take a look too. You should also work hard, maybe you'll have a chance to come in someday."

"Mmm." The twin sisters blushed slightly, looking very excited.

For them, this is the goal they have been working towards for the past three years.

The basic training camp has a three-year training period. The elite training camp has a five-year training period.

If they don't join the elite training camp, they will have to leave in three years.

Jiang Chen, Ai Wei, and Ai Mei followed Yang Hui and stepped through the spacious gate of the Extreme Martial Arts Elite Training Camp.

As soon as he entered the gate, Jiang Chen saw a giant dragon sculpture. The nearly fifty-meter-tall black dragon stared at him with its huge eyes. The terrifying aura instantly pressed down on him, making Jiang Chen feel suffocated.

However, Jiang Chen quickly recovered and calmed down thanks to his powerful mental strength.

The twin sisters next to them were even paler than before, frozen in shock.

They only breathed a sigh of relief and came to their senses after Yang Hui gave a soft shout.

"Terrifying, this is a King-level Black Dragon. No, is it a Planetary-level monster?" Jiang Chen took a deep breath, looking at the enormous dragon-shaped statue.

Warrior, general, and god of war. These three may seem like different ranks, but according to the cosmic classification, they are all apprentice level!

The King level, which surpasses even the God of War, is a different level altogether—the Planetary level!

Only planetary-level planets are protected by law in the universe.

There is a qualitative difference between an apprentice and a planetary-level expert!

Jiang Chen can now fight against mid-level War Gods and even contend with high-level War Gods with his mental power. However, he will definitely die if he encounters a planetary-level martial artist!

This is the difference between an apprentice and a planetary-level expert.

Seeing the three little ones were frightened, Yang Hui laughed and then explained, "This is actually a real SS-class (King-class) monster, a black dragon born from a volcano! It was killed by the Gym Leader, who then kept the black dragon's two eyes and placed them in this dragon-shaped sculpture."

"The entire statue is made of very expensive materials, but the most precious part is its pair of dragon eyes, which are truly those of a king-level monster."

The two sisters, Ivy and Amy, had hearts in their eyes and admired Hong even more.

But Jiang Chen was thinking, "Hong Ting knows how to have fun. If I have the chance in the future, I'll raise a king-level dragon monster for fun too."

"Azure Dragon, Black Dragon, Silver Dragon, Thunder Dragon Emperor..."

Jiang Chen could no longer suppress his desire to become a beast tamer.

"Follow me, and remember, don't wander off," Yang Hui instructed.

"Yes."

Jiang Chen and his two companions, carrying backpacks, entered the elite training camp.

The entire training camp was breathtakingly beautiful, resembling an ancient palace complex. Various precious flowers, trees, and plants filled the area, along with elegantly designed pavilions, artificial hills, and flowing water. Occasionally, one could see young people in loose-fitting training clothes emerging from the pavilions.

Because this is the global headquarters, people of all skin colors can be seen here; they are all top geniuses on Earth.

At the very center of the entire training camp stands a massive nine-story tower, a building called the "Nine-Story Tower."

All the students in the elite training camp will study and train in the Nine-Story Building.

"Two-thirds of the places in the elite training camp are recruited from our Extreme Martial Arts Academy's basic training camp, and only one-third are recruited from other parts of the world," Yang Hui said with a smile, encouraging the twin sisters, "You two have a chance to enter the elite training camp."

"Of course, the number of students in the basic training camp far exceeds that of the elite training camp. So the competition for spots is fierce, and you'll have to work hard in the future," Yang Hui said to the two sisters.

"Yes."

"clear."

The two sisters, Ivy and Amy, also had their eyes shining, dreaming of entering the elite training camp.

"Ivy, Amy, you two stay here and don't wander off. I'll take Jiang Chen inside to check him in," Yang Hui instructed.

Soon, Jiang Chen checked in and settled into a quiet little building.

Jiang Chen will go to the Nine-Story Tower at noon tomorrow to undergo the B-level test. Only after passing the B-level test will Jiang Chen officially become a member of this elite training camp. If he fails, he will have to go to the basic training camp.
