Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 51 The World's Strongest

On the early morning of April 29th, spring rain was falling, and it was a bit chilly.

Not surprisingly.

Luo Shen once again topped the leaderboard this month.

Although Retnas chased after the monsters with all his might in April, spending much more time hunting them and working much harder than before, often setting off before dawn and not returning until dark.

Unfortunately, Luo Shen's combat power fluctuations were simply too high.

Given the same number and quality of monsters, Luo Shen's score was almost a third higher than his!

Retnas was in despair!

Let alone ranking first nine times, it would be difficult to even achieve the closest ranking of six times. After all, Luo Shen has only been in the camp for two months and has already achieved a two-time consecutive championship.

Why create thunder when thunder already exists!

In the small martial arts training hall on the sixth floor of the Nine-Story Building, Luo Shen, barefoot and wearing trousers with his upper body bare, was covered in sweat, with large beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks.

"laugh!"

In the training hall, which was more than 10 meters long and 10 meters wide, Luo Shen moved his feet and took a step with lightning speed. At the same time, his right hand slashed horizontally with a knife. A "ripping" sound, like cotton being torn, rang out in the air.

The horizontal slashing motion of the hand knife had not stopped when Luo Shen followed up with a quick, diagonal slash!

"Sizzle!"

This chop strike contained even greater power, and the air currents parted to both sides as if on the surface of water, with a series of sonic booms echoing one after another.

The hand strikes are as fast as real knives, each strike exceeding the speed of sound.

In this small martial arts training hall.

Luo Shen's figure was sometimes blurry and sometimes solid. Every movement he made was incredibly fast. Luo Shen's hand slashes were executed as if he were wielding a regular battle sword, attacking the air.

Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clear!

The same applies to movement techniques and swordsmanship.

Without daily practice and accumulation, no matter how ingenious the ideas, they will all remain mere fantasies. Not to mention, his greatest advantage is his proficiency!

Much later.

"Phew!" Luo Shen stopped what he was doing and let out a long sigh of relief.

He grabbed a towel from the side, wiped the sweat off his body haphazardly, and sat down against the wall.

"His physical attributes have completely reached the intermediate level of the God of War. The force of his punch has exceeded 18 kilograms. I estimate that in another month, he will be able to reach the minimum level of the advanced God of War."

Throughout April, Luo Shen's physical condition improved dramatically, with his punching power increasing by 60,000 kilograms in a single month!

"However, my swordsmanship still needs further improvement."

After all, the average power exertion of an apprentice on Meteorite Star can reach 10, while he only has 7.5 now, which is not even at the average level. How can he compare with those geniuses in the universe?

Fortunately, he already had a plan in mind for the third move of the sword technique.

Drip!

Just then, the phone that was lying to the side suddenly rang.

"Luo Shen, I'll pick you up at 9:30 tomorrow morning to meet the headmaster."

—Inspector Wang.

Although it was just a simple sentence, it left Luo Shen stunned on the spot.

洪？

They actually want to see him?

As the world's strongest being, Hong holds a divine position in the hearts of all Earthlings. Even though Luo Shen is not from this world, he still admires him.

This is not because of Hong's strength, but because of the sacrifices he made for the people of Earth!

During the Great Nirvana, he and Thor personally ventured into the wilderness to sign a pact with the Monster King, giving humanity a chance to breathe and preventing the flame of human civilization from being extinguished.

The Golden Horned Beast is in the midst of a calamity.

He and Thor burned their domains and fought a desperate battle against the Golden Horned Beast. Although they failed to kill the Golden Horned Beast, they successfully injured it, creating an excellent opportunity for Luo Feng to later possess its body.

They could have clung to life and survived until the very end, relying on the interstellar transport ship of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy headquarters.

Until the Golden Horned Beast is able to tear apart the interstellar transport ships and kill them, or until the Golden Horned Beast grows to a certain level and leaves Earth.

However, they did not.

Just like they did in the beginning, they fight for the fate of humanity on Earth!

From this point of view alone, they deserve respect!

"receive."

Luo Shen replied.

Let's go meet this legendary world's strongest player!

the next day.

Hongning Base City, headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

A Cadillac limousine drove straight into the headquarters and parked in an open space.

Two figures emerged from the open car doors, one on the left and one on the right. Upon seeing one of the figures, the patrolling guards immediately bowed with utmost respect and said, "Greetings, Inspector!"

Inspector Wang nodded.

Turning to Luo Shen beside him, he asked, "Luo Shen, are you nervous?"

Luo Shen took a deep breath.

It was impossible not to be nervous, after all, he was going to meet Hong, the world's number one fighter. But after a night of mental preparation, Luo Shen calmed down when he arrived at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

"It's alright, let's go."

With that, Luo Shen took a step forward and walked towards the gate of the interstellar transport ship in the distance.

One step, two steps, one step, two steps.

"Hey, Luo Shen, you're going the wrong way!" Inspector Wang behind him hurriedly reminded him.

Luo Shen was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

The headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy was indeed established on the back of an interstellar transport ship, but it is not just one interstellar transport ship; it is only a part of the vast headquarters.

After all, in the original story, Luo Feng always met Hong inside the transport ship, so he naturally and subconsciously walked in that direction.

result--

"The headmaster plans to meet you at his home today," Inspector Wang explained to Luo Shen as he led the way. "Normally, you can go that way without any problems, but today is a special case."

However, this did not resolve the embarrassing situation of Luo Shen's toes almost digging into a three-bedroom apartment.

All I could do was force a wry smile.

Following Inspector Wang, they traversed the courtyard of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy headquarters until they finally stopped in front of an ordinary two-story building.

Inspector Wang laughed and said, "Go in by yourself. The headmaster is waiting for you inside."

Judging from his tone, he clearly didn't intend to go in.

Luo Shen took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.

After several attempts, his excitement finally subsided, and he calmly pushed open the door and stepped inside.

Upon entering the room, one finds a simple gray interior with no superfluous decorations or furnishings. There is only a long solid wood table with two plain-colored cushions placed opposite each other, and steaming cups of tea on the table.

A person sat cross-legged opposite.

Even sitting cross-legged, you could still tell that the other person was very tall. He was wearing a black training uniform and had a buzz cut. Time had not left any marks on him, and he looked like a young man in his twenties.

Even when he was sitting cross-legged, his back was still as straight as a spear, and his invisible aura made people's hearts tremble.

Compared to him.

Inspector Wang's aura was pitifully weak.

They're not even in the same league.

Hong kept his eyes closed and didn't say anything.

Luo Shen didn't move, just stood quietly, watching and feeling the pull of the other person's aura, thinking to himself, "Could this be the mental pressure of a domain expert?"

Suddenly, Hong opened his eyes!

In an instant, Luo Shen felt his entire world collapse, everything around him blurred, as if only those magical eyes remained.

What kind of eyes were these? Luo Shen couldn't describe them in words.

In those eyes, Luo Shen "saw" an unparalleled unwavering will and sharp ambition, as if all the hardships, crises, and misfortunes in the world were nothing but dirt chickens and dogs in front of it!

Those godlike eyes made Luo Shen realize for the first time how insignificant he was in terms of his spiritual will.

This is Hong!

The world's strongest!

They were also the strongest civilization on Earth!
