Swallowing the Stars: I'll Destroy the Universe with My Talent Attributes

Ugh~

Kuchi~ Kuchi~

The train stopped moving.

Wow~

As the carriage doors opened, thousands of aspiring martial artists were led into a large military camp.

The military camp covered a vast area, with various powerful cannons already loaded into their barrels. A large number of well-equipped soldiers were on high alert, guarding against the densely packed monsters outside the camp.

Welcome to Monster Town.

Chapter 16 Understanding the Path

"Welcome to the Jiangnan City North Military Region."

"This time, a total of 1681 of you are participating in the martial arts combat assessment. I hope that most of you will pass the assessment, and I also hope that everyone will survive safely."

Upon entering the Northern Military Region, the martial arts combat assessment did not begin immediately. Instead, it commenced only after a sumptuous lunch prepared by the military region.

It feels like I'm being sentenced to my last meal.

"Now, those aspiring martial artists whose names are called, come forward to receive your combat uniforms and weapons."

High-ranking officials from various factions gathered in the empty square of the military camp.

A military camp leader stood in front of the square, holding the assessment list and speaking loudly.

“Yan Zhuo”.

"..."

"Luo Feng".

"Yang Wu."

"..."

The aspiring warriors, whose names were called, stepped forward one by one to receive their own weapons and combat uniforms.

During the martial arts combat assessment, prospective martial artists are prohibited from using firearms. If they violate the rules by using high-powered firearms, artillery, or similar weapons, they will be disqualified from the exam, and in serious cases, they may even be killed.

This assessment is actually to test the combat skills of aspiring martial artists and see if they have the courage to fight monsters.

In terms of strength, speed, and nerve reaction, there is no difference between a quasi-martial artist and a martial artist (junior warrior). However, a martial artist not only needs to have strength, but also enough courage to fight monsters to the death.

This is what makes a qualified martial artist.

Otherwise, at best he's a useless person with power.

"Qin Yuan".

There were ten military personnel calling out names in the square, so it was Qin Yuan's turn soon.

Upon hearing his name called, Qin Yuan quickly left the group and jogged forward.

"This is your combat uniform, and the Jinghong 4 series long gun as you requested... Wow, it's quite heavy."

"This young man is quite strong."

Qin Yuan remained silent, only smiling as he accepted the combat uniform and the Jinghong Spear from one of the officers.

The spear felt cold to the touch. It was 1.9 meters long, with a silver-white body and a red tassel near the tip.

This gun was specially requested by Qin Yuan; it was prepared as the heaviest one, weighing a full 260kg.

The Jinghong Spear in Qin Yuan's hand was forged from a small amount of Kro alloy and other refined iron. The spear body was tough yet flexible. Due to the addition of Kro alloy, the spear's lethality was extremely exaggerated. Ordinary steel was just paper in front of it.

Kro alloy, an astonishing scientific achievement during the Great Nirvana, is a terrifying weapon invented by human scientist Crodessena based on monster corpses and 'blue gold' metal discovered on the moon.

It can easily penetrate the monster's tough hide and scales, posing a deadly threat to the monster...

Qin Yuan took the communication watch with communication and positioning functions from the officer and returned to his position.

Unlike Luo Feng, he also carried an alloy shield for self-defense.

Unlike Luo Feng's sword, the spear is primarily used for distance control in combat, making it most disadvantageous in defensive battles.

For a spear, the best defense is offense.

......

As time passed, after the more than a thousand prospective martial artists in the square had received their weapons and combat uniforms, they were led by soldiers to the outskirts of a small town.

It was already dusk.

"roar~"

"Hmph~"

"Meow!!"

The town was surrounded by a huge barbed wire fence. From inside the fence, the roars of monsters could be heard, causing a commotion among some of the quasi-martial artists.

These aspiring warriors usually live in the base city, so it's inevitable that they would have some reactions when they first see the legendary monster.

"Hurry up, there aren't nearly enough monsters here. Bring over a few thousand more Iron-haired Boars, Shadow Cats, and Tiger Mastiffs!"

Rumble~

As large heavy trucks arrived, a large number of monsters were transported into Monster Town.

"Qin Yuan, Luo Feng, an assessment is an assessment, and real combat is real combat. I hope you remember that even if your basic strength surpasses that of the beast soldiers that the military has specially prepared, who are only at the junior warrior level, you cannot let your guard down."

"And this time..."

As the assessment drew near, Wu Tong, the chief instructor of Yangzhou City, couldn't help but call Qin Yuan and Luo Feng over and give them one last instruction.

There was nothing we could do; both of them had caught the eye of that manager.

"This practical assessment will last from 6:30 p.m. tonight to 6:30 a.m. tomorrow, a total of 12 hours."

"The more monsters you kill, the more points you earn. For each monster you kill, you must cut off its left ear as proof."

"Remember, during the assessment period, fighting among yourselves is strictly prohibited. All your actions will be monitored, and if you are caught, you will be executed immediately!"

"Moreover, only the top 60% of you 1681 aspiring martial artists will pass; the remaining 40% will have to wait for the next martial artist combat assessment."

"Just a reminder, based on past tests, killing two monsters and cutting off their left ears might pass, but it's not guaranteed. To pass safely, you need the left ears of three monsters..."

In front of the town, an officer spoke loudly, announcing the rules of the assessment.

In short, to pass the martial arts combat test, you must take the heads of at least three monsters while ensuring your own safety.

If you're unlucky enough to encounter other aspiring warriors who also have three monster left ears, then it depends on your injury status.

The one in better form wins.

"All prospective martial artists, proceed! Enter Monster Town!"

Splash!

1681 aspiring warriors surged into Monster Town like a rushing river.

"close the door."

The officer who announced the assessment rules then gave the order.

Click~ Click~ Click~

The only gate to Monster Town is closed.

The martial arts combat assessment has officially begun.

......

Night fell.

On the edge of Monster Town, bright, large searchlights enveloped the entire town.

Within the town, the broken streets and ruins are illuminated by lights, creating patches of light and shadow.

In the darkness, there seemed to be flickering light and shadow.

In the shadow of a collapsed wall, Qin Yuan stood silently with his gun in hand, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

According to the martial arts combat assessment rules, Monster Town has only three types of monsters, all of which were specially prepared by the Chinese military for the assessment.

Iron-haired wild boar, shadow cat, and tiger mastiff.

Among them, the iron-haired wild boar accounts for the majority of the population.

Before the Great Nirvana, these three monsters corresponded to pigs, cats, and dogs that were domesticated by humans.

With the arrival of the Great Nirvana, human genes evolved, and these animals also evolved in the same way. In fact, simply considering the increase in strength brought about by the Great Nirvana, animals such as pigs, cats, dogs, cows, and sheep are even superior to humans.

In the current martial arts combat assessment, whether it's the Iron-haired Wild Boar which focuses on strength and defense, the Shadow Cat which is known for its speed, or the Tiger Mastiff Dog which combines strength and speed, their strength is at most at the beginner level of perfect warrior.

Qin Yuan's current strength is that of a junior general!

That's right, this is the terrifying effect that the talent attributes [Energy Digestion (Green)] + [Little Clever Guy (White)] brought to Qin Yuan in one month.

As for sending a martial artist with the strength of a junior general to participate in an assessment against monsters only at the junior warrior level, Qin Yuan was considering whether to follow the example of Luo Feng in the original work, controlling his strength to facilitate the training of weapon techniques and movement skills, or to simply overpower them with brute force!

After hesitating for three seconds, Qin Yuan decided to choose the latter.

They're all using cheat codes, what skills do they need!

Using brute force to overcome skill is the path he should take. As for honing his movement techniques, Qin Yuan glanced at his talent attribute [Beast Intuition (White)].

Movement techniques? What a load of bullshit!

Strength, speed, and reflexes are the keys to success.

Chapter 17 Battle and Crushing

Of course, in order not to overly challenge the nerves of the high-ranking martial artists from various forces who were watching the surveillance outside the town, Qin Yuan decided to fight the monster, which was only a beginner warrior, with the strength of a high-level warrior.

This was a complete stomp!

Boom!

Not far ahead, as a half-collapsed wall was violently smashed through, a wild boar with iron hair, over 1.5 meters tall and as large as a small car, appeared.
