Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 52 The True Treasure

A martial artist sees the heart as clearly as he sees the blade!

Even when faced with Hong Jingtao's terrifying aura, Luo Shen felt like a small boat adrift in an endless ocean, swaying precariously and on the verge of capsizing, yet he always maintained an upright and fighting spirit!

The look in his eyes as he looked at Hong showed no fear whatsoever!

He knew that he was no match for Hong at the moment.

If a real fight were to break out, he might be crushed to death by Hong with a single hand without any chance of fighting back. But being unable to win does not mean that he does not have the courage to make a move!

Warriors fight against heaven and earth!

A certain regimental commander once said: "When facing the enemy, we must draw our swords. It is not shameful to fall under the enemy's sword; what is shameful is not daring to draw our swords!"

If you can't win, it's a matter of strength;

The person who's afraid to fight is the one with the problem!

The two people stood facing each other inside the room, neither saying a word.

If Hong is a straight spear, its fighting spirit piercing the sky, then Luo Shen is a sharpened sword, its edge fully revealed, possessing the courage to draw it no matter who the opponent is!

Hahahaha

Suddenly, Hong raised his head and laughed heartily, breaking the suffocating atmosphere in the room.

Laughter echoed throughout the room, hearty and unrestrained, as if they had encountered something joyful. Even their gazes toward Luo Shen softened considerably.

"Very good!"

Hong's aura subsided.

Although his expression remained indifferent, the slight upturn of his lips betrayed his true feelings.

If Inspector Wang outside were to see this, he would probably be utterly astonished, since in all the years he had known Hong, he had seen Hong smile only a handful of times.

"Phew!" Luo Shen breathed a long sigh of relief.

The pressure Hong had exerted on him was simply too great. Even with his transformed will, he still felt as insignificant as an ant when faced with the oppressive feeling that seemed to encompass the entire world.

This is still the oppressive feeling brought by a planetary-level powerhouse.

If he were to encounter a stronger cosmic-level, domain lord-level, or even world lord or immortal, a mere glance would likely be enough to kill him!

"sit!"

Hong gestured.

Despite the beads of sweat still on his forehead, Luo Shen didn't care and sat down directly on the prayer mat.

The two sat facing each other.

Hong did not rush to start the conversation. Instead, he waved his right hand, and a modern tea set suddenly appeared on the table. He then casually plugged in the power, filled it with water, boiled it, and brewed tea.

Luo Shen's pupils contracted as he looked at it.

Storage space equipment!

As expected of the world's richest man, he even managed to acquire such a rare treasure as a spatial storage device. It probably belonged to a high-ranking figure from the starship fleet mentioned in the original work.

Don't underestimate the value of spatial storage devices later on; you can even get several world rings just by browsing through a garbage dump.

That's because the protagonist has a higher status!

He belongs to a virtual universe company that ranks among the top five giants of the human race! In particular, Luo Feng is a core member, whose status is much higher than that of ordinary immortals.

In a remote and remote place like the Heilongshan Starfield.

Space storage equipment.

Especially the space storage equipment with super large space, it is definitely a hot commodity! Even the Ninth Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire does not have a large space storage device that can hold a spaceship.

However, Luo Shen knew this.

Hong showing this to him was definitely not to flex his muscles.

Patiently waiting for Hong to brew the tea, he magically produced two cups, poured the tea, pushed one cup in front of Luo Shen, and picked up the other cup himself.

Take a small sip.

He then slowly began to speak, "I summoned you here for no other reason than to see you."

"Hmm, let's also find out what's going on."

Luo Shen silently added in his mind.

Unaware of Luo Shen's thoughts, Hong continued, "However, I didn't expect that your physical attributes have already reached the level of a War God, and you're not far from being a High-Level War God."

Luo Shen knew.

Hong possessed an intelligent optical brain, so he wasn't surprised that it detected his strength.

"With your strength, there aren't many people in the world who can defeat you. There's not much point in staying in elite training anymore," Hong said.

The elite training camp aims to cultivate geniuses.

It is to ensure that the strong will continue to emerge in the future, so that new people can step forward one after another to take over the responsibilities of the older generation and support the future of mankind!

Of course, it's also to discover more super geniuses like Luo Shen!

With Luo Shen's current strength, he is more than capable of serving as an inspector in a base city. While staying in the training camp wouldn't be a waste of time, it wouldn't be of much benefit to his future cultivation.

Of course, this is Hong's perspective as someone who has been through it all.

He was unaware that Luo Shen had a cheat code.

In his view, strong people cannot be cultivated in a greenhouse. Only by personally experiencing the tempering of blood and fire and fighting with monsters can one become a true strong person!

This is also why the elite training camp arranges life-or-death adventures every August!

Hong continued, "What are your plans next? Will you stay in the training camp, or do you have other ideas?"

Intend?

Luo Shen was slightly taken aback.

To be honest, he didn't really have any ideas at the moment.

His original plan was to quietly cultivate to the advanced War God level in the training camp, then seek revenge on Li Yao for the knife wound, and then find a way to break through to the Planetary level.

But the words were on the tip of her tongue.

Luo Shen suddenly changed the subject: "I wonder if the headmaster has any good suggestions?"

"I wouldn't call it a suggestion."

Hong said calmly, "I have seen your information. You joined the Extreme Martial Arts Academy after the age of 18, and within three months you were promoted from an ordinary martial arts student to a quasi-martial artist. After that, you showed your talent and have come all the way to where you are today in just half a year."

"You're a born martial artist!"

"With your potential and your mindset, you have a very high chance of becoming a strong member of parliament in the future!"

"And there are only fifty-three members of parliament worldwide!"

Hong said indifferently, "Do you know what this means? It means that as long as you join a certain faction, you can instantly rise to the highest ranks, enjoy power, and even become the master of a base city!"

"Your status transcends the mundane world!"

lure.

The allure of red berries!

But Luo Shen's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Chief Intendant, this seems to have little to do with our topic."

indeed.

An invincible war god can become a local tyrant, and the power of a councilor can transcend the mundane world, even reaching the level of Hong and the Thunder God. They can even have equal dialogue with the five great powers, or even be above the five great powers.

But so what?

What's so great about playing around on Earth?

Those who are truly capable are those who fight against countless geniuses from the 1008 Universe Country in that vast and boundless universe, and against the super geniuses under the command of the five giants!

Earth is too small!

"Awakening! Realizing one's true nature, pointing directly to one's original mind, and unlocking the 'true treasure'!"
