Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 60 NO.1 Ning Ze (561113)

The small house three kilometers from the elite training camp.

At this moment, everyone in the room fell silent, and the expressions on their faces underwent a dramatic change.

Just a second ago, Ning Ze's name disappeared from the list.

They turned the page, moved up 20 places, but still couldn't find it.

"Maybe on the next page. As expected of the Wind-Slaying Sword, this level of progress is truly astounding," everyone thought.

I turned the page again, moved up 20 places, still nothing.

"It's normal for someone to be able to defeat the God of War if they have a high-level Trial Tower."

Turning two more pages, still nothing.

The number at the very top is already 101.

A newcomer entered the top 100 right after joining the training camp?

Everyone's hearts trembled. What exactly happened in that one second?

They always pay attention to the rankings and know what it means. A peerless genius is destined to be a big shot in the future. The world is about to change!

The person controlling the projection could only keep turning the page, and then another page. The top page was 81, but Ning Ze was still nowhere to be found.

"Why isn't it here yet?"

"Stop dawdling, keep flipping!" the man with dyed yellow hair roared, he was getting impatient.

Turn the page again, the top page is 61, and it's not there either.

The people in the room all thought it was a system error and that the file was no longer available.

Turning the page again, the top ranking is 41, still nothing.

Finally, the member controlling the projection flipped through two more pages and found Ning Ze's name.

NO.3 Ning Ze (561113)

After a long silence, a middle-aged man murmured, "My God! What on earth happened?"

No one answered.

After a three-second silence, the man with dyed blond hair muttered, "Something big has happened, something big has happened, I'm going to be rich."

Having been observing this ranking for so long, how could they not know its meaning? In order to help them do their jobs better, someone would explain its meaning to them.

They should report any improvement, even if it's just one rank. They need to report any change, even if it's a change in the last rank.

Now, the member who was last has jumped to third place!

"Holy shit!" The burly man with short, dyed yellow hair stared wide-eyed.

Not only did they jump into the top 100, but they even entered the top 10. Such a leap is simply incomprehensible.

They simply couldn't understand it. At this moment, they all felt that the rules in the training camp had changed. In fact, no points were needed at all; talent was all that was required.

In front of the black dragon statue.

Jiang Fang was also searching for Ning Ze's name, looking from the dragon's tail to its belly, through its spine, past its claws, across its neck, and finally stopping on its head.

NO.3 Ning Ze (561113)

Jiang Fang's eyes trembled in their sockets, and she managed to utter two words with difficulty, "Third!"

She understood that this was just a test of her punching power level.

Ning Ze had only been hunting monsters for one day, but others had already been hunting for fifteen days!

Even if Ning Ze is a mentalist, his hunting speed is only three times that of others. Therefore, he is still at least 1.6 times slower than the top five students. This 1.6 times difference can only be improved by weighting the combat power amplitude.

The top five academies all have a power level of around 14, which is weighted at 1.6 times, so Ning Ze's combat power amplitude is at least 22.4.

This is an instantaneous improvement; that is, the level of power exertion has changed.

Ningze's Trial Tower level is 3.6, and his power level is 6.2, so he needs to exert at least 6.2 times the power.

Jiang Fang felt a sense of unreality, but then she froze. In the half-minute of her dazed state, Ning Ze's ranking rose again.

NO.1 Ning Ze (561113)

At this point, she could no longer fathom the extent of Ning Ze's accomplishments. She could not fathom them, could not calculate them, could not imagine them; she could only wait.

This... made her very worried.

A sudden impulse arose within her—an impulse to understand him.

It wasn't about any special feelings, but about knowing his current situation, understanding that he had passed that level of the trial tower, listening to the relentless electronic announcements in the hall, and knowing that he had passed another level.

Moved, Jiang Fang turned and ran towards the Trial Tower.

At this moment, embarrassment didn't matter; she wanted to experience that joy, she was going to witness a miracle!

The most powerful genius in human history!

In less than 30 seconds, she took the stairs up and could faintly hear a commotion upstairs. When the elevator doors opened, she saw a group of lunatics.

"Punching power level 8! How is this possible?" A young man with a resolute face and determined eyes was stunned after hearing the report, muttering to himself.

Immediately afterward, another prodigy from the training camp threw his head back and roared like a madman, "Cheating! He must be cheating! How could anyone's punching power level reach 8! That's impossible! Even Thor's 'Ninefold Thunder Blade' only has 7 times the power! Ah! The training camp is unfair!"

"Error! There must be a data error in the mainframe of the ancient ruins! How could someone have reached the required power level!" A once vibrant young man had completely changed his appearance; his eyes were lifeless, and he muttered to himself.

crazy!

Everyone went crazy at that moment!

Power level 8!

Combat power fluctuation: 28.8!

The "Super" level is only 16 or higher; however, those below 16 are divided into four levels! Now, 28.8 is nearly 12.8 higher than the "Super" level! That's almost double the current number one score!

Not even among the instructors, let alone the students, could achieve this! His power level is even higher than that of Thor, the second strongest in the world! How can anyone compare?

The languages ​​of various countries mingled together, creating utter chaos in the hall. Whether white, black, or Chinese, no matter how outstanding they had been before, they all expressed their shock, doubt, and fear in various ways!

They were frenzied, they looked up at the sky in silence, they were furious. The power amplification was something they had once pursued, something they dreamed of improving even a little bit. Even 16 was a goal that many of them might never be able to achieve in their lifetime, but now it had been doubled!

The sudden emergence of such a genius, who could suppress an entire era, had an unparalleled impact on their spiritual world. They couldn't believe it, couldn't accept it, and became self-destructive, even insane and foolish...

If the members of the elite training camp were climbing a mountain with a goal, what they see now is a majestic mountain peak that reaches the sky!

Even the teachers in the elite training camp were speechless. They now clearly felt that their era had passed. Fortunately, they were no longer young, and this was not a goal they needed to chase. Otherwise, they would have been in despair!

Jiang Fang was completely stunned, her mind a jumbled mess, and she didn't even step out of the elevator.

"Punching power level 8, Trial Tower level 4.6. Congratulations, Ning Ze student, your current combat power amplitude is 36.8." The electronic voice showed no emotion whatsoever.

The electronic voice was merciless. When Jiang Fang, who was in a daze, heard this voice, she felt a chill run through her body and her heart felt numb as if she had been electrocuted.

Her combat power fluctuation was 36.8, which is twice that of the strongest student! It's almost three times hers!

"Punching power level 8, Trial Tower level 5. Congratulations, Ning Ze student, your current combat power amplitude is 40." The electronic voice showed no emotion whatsoever.

The announcements continued incessantly, with brief intervals between them, no more than once a minute.

Outside in the hall, the emotions of the many students had reached their peak. They were cursing, their faces flushed and their eyes wide with rage. They were silent, as if isolated from the whole world. The dazed people were completely stunned. The silent teachers were even more obedient than the students... Only the electronic voice remained unchanged, as if it were just a number.

"Punching power level 8, Trial Tower level 5.3. Congratulations, Ning Ze student, your current combat power amplitude is 42.4." The electronic voice showed no emotion whatsoever.

This time it took a minute longer, and the people in the hall had quieted down.

Without exception, everyone looked up in the direction of the trial room, their eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

The person who was cursing fell silent. Those who were level 5 or higher in the Trial Tower could directly become inspectors of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, and they dared not offend such a person.

The silent man regained some of his senses, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes as he looked at the trial room. This kind of person was not someone they should be chasing after; the gap between them and ordinary people was even greater.

Those who were lost in thought have awakened. They are just ordinary people who cannot create miracles, so they can watch miracles be born. At least they have the right to see them.

The teachers could only manage a wry smile. Of course, after three days of instruction, they'd soon be calling each other "sir/madam." Life is unpredictable; who could have foreseen this? It truly is a cruel twist of fate…

"Punching power level 8, Trial Tower level 5.6. Congratulations, Ning Ze student, your current combat power amplitude is 44.8." The electronic voice showed no emotion whatsoever.

At this moment, everyone in the hall had lost all sense of self; they were all staring blankly in the direction of the trial room, with only one thought in their minds: 'How far can he get?'

Inside the Trial Tower, Ning Ze began to face his new opponents.

「第5层C级考验是，在1小时内击杀围攻你的190头高等兽将银月魁狼和10头初等领主银月魁狼！若中途你死亡，即失败！若1小时后击杀银月魁狼的数量未到200，也是失败！你有5分钟的準备时间。」

The ethereal electronic sound echoed through a dark forest, giving off an eerie feeling out of nowhere.

Ning Ze's expression changed drastically upon hearing the voice; it was actually a low-level lord!

How could it be so terrifying?

The fourth level of the Trial Tower has been upgraded, with basic monsters becoming intermediate-level beast generals: 50 in stage A, 100 in stage B, and 190 plus 10 advanced-level beast generals in stage C.

The fifth level of the Trial Tower has been upgraded. The basic monsters have been transformed into high-level beast generals. There are 50 in stage A, 100 in stage B, and now stage C has become 190 plus 10 lord monsters!

The power difference between a junior general and a mid-level general is twice that of a senior general, and the power difference between a senior general and a junior lord is twice that of a junior general.

Therefore, the power difference between a junior general and a junior lord is 8 times!

To have comparable strength alone requires eight times the effort, and in this level he will be besieged by 10 lords!

This is just physical fitness!

The attacks of high-level beast generals already possess sentience, and their movement techniques surpass even those of human martial artists. Therefore, he had no doubt that these eight low-level lords would be even stronger. Once they comprehended and unleashed their power, they would be like lord monsters in the wilderness… Ning Ze found it somewhat unimaginable. He currently only possessed the physical attributes of a low-level warrior general.

This is too difficult. This is only the last stage of the fifth level. If we reach the sixth level, we will become novice lords according to the rules! There are 50 novice lords in stage A!

Just thinking about it made Ning Ze's scalp tingle. No wonder even Hong couldn't pass the Trial Tower, or even reach the seventh floor. Just by looking at the manual, you can tell that the world's number one powerhouse might not be as strong as him.

Taking a deep breath, Ning Ze said, "Let's start early."

He didn't have time to wait, and his privileges changed after becoming a formal student; previously, he could always skip the five-minute wait. Otherwise, some students only have one hour a month, and if they die twice, they have to wait ten minutes each time.

"Battle, begin!" The ethereal electronic voice echoed through the dark forest.

Ning Ze ignored the change in the electronic voice because his opponent had already appeared.

"Awooo!" "Awooo!" "Awooo!"

The howls of wolves echoed through the silent forest, rising and falling everywhere, making it impossible to discern their direction. Finally, the howls merged into one, harmonious and unified, completely erasing any sense of direction, as if they were resounding in one's own mind rather than in this dark forest.

Ning Ze cautiously surveyed his surroundings, crouching low and looking around at the dark, withered tree trunks. He listened to the rustling sounds around him and noticed the blurry shadows of the trees on the ground swaying slightly – the footprints left by Blood Moon.

Suddenly!

Between two dark tree trunks about ten meters away, a pair of bright red eyes appeared. They weren't the hazy, blood-red kind, but rather a bright red with a watery, liquid quality, as if blood were flowing within them. They were shaped like the corner of a maple leaf, becoming even redder towards the eyelids. The blood-red eyes moved slightly, and the two deep black pupils suddenly slid down, staring at the only figure in the woods ahead.

Horror, indifference—those were eyes devoid of any emotion, eyes that disregarded life.

Ning Ze held his breath. This was a low-level lord. The eyes of those high-level beast generals were silver-blue, and none of them were as terrifying as these eyes.

Now, he was surrounded. There was one in front of him, so where were the remaining low-level lords?

silent.

Ning Ze seemed to hear his own heart pounding. When those eyes appeared, there was no sound around him.

"I only sensed a gaze from one direction, but all the monsters surrounded me. It confirmed my location. Will the other Silver Moon Wolves also sense my location?" Ning Ze thought to himself. The next second, he suddenly sprang up, his legs moving like the wind, and ran towards the forest beside him.

The surrounding trees provided cover for the Silver Moon Wolf, and were also his reliance!

"Take care of those high-level beast generals first."

"Aww!"

A wolf's howl shattered the tranquility of the dark forest. The entire forest began to stir, filled with rustling sounds.

Ning Ze looked ahead and saw a pair of silver-blue eyes, and behind them, a pair of blood-red eyes, rapidly approaching.

"die!"

Rushing towards a pair of silver-blue eyes, Ning Ze judged the figure's shape based on its silhouette. He let out a low roar and swiftly thrust out his light sword.

As he launched his attack, the Silver Moon Wolves, which were fused with darkness around him, all pounced on him.

With a single stroke of the longsword, the blade penetrates three inches into the eye.

Ning Ze finished off the wolf with a single strike, confidently sheathed his sword, and turned to attack another Silver Moon Wolf.

These high-level beast generals' Silver Moon Wolves are relatively easy to deal with. His strength is nearly twice that of theirs, and his speed is more than 1.5 times that of theirs. In the previous stage, he killed 100 of them. The most difficult to deal with are those lord monsters.

brush!

Four claw shadows appeared beside Ning Ze, the stark white claw marks deeply embedded in the darkness, as if they would pierce through his body at any moment.

Damn it!

Ning Ze cursed inwardly. This speed of attack was not that of a high-level beast general, but rather that of a low-level lord lurking in the shadows. Since the appearance of the lord-level Gloomy Wolf, their vision could be shared to a certain extent, making them truly impossible to defend against.

Ning Ze certainly didn't dare to take the full force of the sneak attack from a low-level lord head-on, otherwise his body and combat suit wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Ding!"

Ning Ze flicked his arm, and a silver moon sword light descended upon the claw marks. Sensing the power within, he was once again certain that the strength of these Silver Moon Wolves was no weaker than his, and perhaps even slightly greater.

With a flick of his wrist, Ning Ze raised his sword and slashed horizontally, his eyes filled with killing intent. Since you've come here, you're not going anywhere!

"laugh!"

The longsword tore through the Silver Moon Wolf's fur, but Ning Ze's expression turned grim. The Silver Moon Wolf, a mere lord, possessed such agility. Even if he were to strike with his superior swordsmanship, this monster could still evade vital points!

This battle will be difficult!

Ning Ze knew that he not only didn't have much of an advantage, but these Silver Moon Wolves could also launch sneak attacks. He had only managed to injure one of the Lord-level Silver Moon Wolves by taking the initiative to attack earlier.

Now, the Silver Moon Wolves around them pounced, and under the dark moon, countless long shadows crisscrossed and attacked, completely engulfing Ning Ze's figure.
