Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 22: Hong's efforts are vulnerable

After hanging up the call, Chen Yue quickly called Wu Ting.

He explained the whole story to her and also told her the good news that Wu Tong was temporarily safe.

Wu Ting burst into laughter when she heard that Wu Tong was not in danger for the time being.

At the same time, Museum Master Hong had already given the order, ordering Inspector Wang to temporarily hand over the control of the intelligent fighter to Chen Yue.

Chen Yue immediately took action and adjusted the destination of the fighter plane to the positioning coordinates provided by the martial arts school.

"3 minutes left!"

Chen Yue calmly glanced at the countdown numbers on the navigation, and a cold look flashed in his eyes.

After checking his equipment, he was ready to go like a taut bowstring.

He attached great importance to this battle.

He knew that Hong would continue to pay attention to this matter.

In this case, for both public and private reasons, he must save Wu Tong.

Be quick!

The posture should be cool!

It must be done with lightning speed.

Chen Yue remembered that City 023 was inhabited by lord-level monsters.

With Chen Yue’s current strength, combined with the third level of “Xingyao”.

Facing a primary lord-level monster, perhaps you can still barely resist.

But if you encounter a mid-level lord-level, or even more powerful high-level lord-level monster.

Even he could only choose to escape on a king-class intelligent fighter.

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!" he muttered to himself.

He was worried that things would change if things were too late.

--------

At the same time, in Jiangnan Base City, Northern Military Region.

"Let's go! Head to City 023!"

Three fully armed Chinese soldiers walked straight towards a flying saucer-shaped fighter plane.

"Buzz-"

With the roar of the engine starting up, the flying saucer-shaped fighter plane soared into the sky. Finally, it turned into a residual image and disappeared into the sky.

Inside the fighter plane, three soldiers sat opposite each other.

"Captain, why do we have to cooperate with a person from a martial arts school in China?" one of the soldiers asked.

"Moreover - according to the information, he just completed the quasi-warrior assessment on December 12st last year. He just completed the actual combat assessment this month. How strong can he be?" another soldier added.

Both of them graduated from military academies and came to the Northern Military Region.

With his outstanding abilities and good family background, he had already made a name for himself in the army in less than half a year.

Surrounded by the halo, it is inevitable that they become a little too proud of themselves.

This time the Chinese military ordered them to cooperate with Chen Yue's operation, and the two of them had already felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Moreover, after Chen Yue signed the contract to sell the martial arts skills with the martial arts school, the Extreme Martial Arts School classified Chen Yue's information as confidential.

Currently, the only information available to the outside world is the junior general level that Chen Yue displayed on February 2st.

The 19-year-old junior warrior is indeed a genius.

However, the children of those big families have a lot of cultivation resources, and there are also some geniuses among them.

Therefore, Chen Yue’s current strength is not very dazzling.

Just as the two were still complaining, suddenly——

"Shut up!"

"Remember! Soldiers, just obey orders!" said the captain seriously.

Of course he knew that this time the order was given directly by the supreme leader Jia Yi.

Therefore, the captain had already judged in his heart that this mission would not be easy.

--------

Palace of the God of War, in the virtual space.

Two figures, one black and one white, sat cross-legged facing each other.

"Brother Hong, the person you just talked to was the little fellow who created his own martial arts, Chen Yue?"

A bald monk in a white robe looked at Hong, a man in black opposite him, with a smile.

The bald monk in a white robe sitting opposite Hong is the second strongest man in the world, the head of the Thunder and Lightning Martial Arts School, Thunder God.

"It's Chen Yue." Hong nodded with a smile.

"You actually asked him to deal with that Li Tao. Is it necessary to go to so much trouble?" Thor was puzzled.

With Hong's identity and status, he directly greeted Jia Yi, the highest commander of the Chinese military.

I believe the Chinese military will be happy to help.

Besides, the Chinese military is already on the way.

In Thor's opinion——

Wait for the Chinese military to arrive, capture Li Tao, and then hand him over to the Palace of the God of War.

How simple!
Why bother to do this?

However, Hong insisted on asking the military to cooperate with Chen Yue and gave the right of action to Chen Yue.

Thor couldn't figure it out.

What is so special about Chen Yue?

Hong nodded and looked at the Thunder God, "I'm testing him."

"He's just an apprentice. What's so good about the test?" Bald Thor curled his lips.

"Second brother, you should know that there is always someone better than you." Hong looked at the God of Thunder with a serious voice.

"Do you remember when you and I, my brother, first discovered the remains of ancient civilization?" Hong suddenly spoke.

"Brother Hong, how could I forget? When I learned that there were other civilizations outside the universe, I was so excited." Thor exclaimed.

"Then do you know what I was thinking at that time?" Hong looked at the bald Thunder God with burning eyes.

"Same as me?" Thor asked with a smile.

"It's shock and worry!" Hong said.

"Back then, you and I were invincible on Earth. Apart from those two old beast kings, who could be our opponent? But in the ruins of that ancient civilization, my brothers and I almost died! That's why I was shocked!"

Hong took a deep breath. "At that time, I reminded myself that there are always people better than you. In the vast universe, we are just a speck of dust."

Hong looked serious and continued, "Once the Earth is discovered by alien civilizations, the consequences will be disastrous. That's why I'm worried!"

“Since then, I have discussed with you about jointly establishing the Palace of the God of War,” Hong continued.

"My original intention was to unite the top fighters among human warriors and fight against monsters together!"

"Second brother, don't you think it's because we have lived in peace for too long that those greedy people are starting to get restless again?" Hong suddenly became a little excited.

"Hmph! A mere general-level warrior actually dares to violate the regulations of the Palace of the God of War." Thor said disdainfully.

"So Li Tao must be killed on the spot! To intimidate those villains." Hong said in a deep voice.

"Humanity! Only by uniting can we go further!"

"But what does this have to do with the assessment of that kid Chen Yue?" Thor was still puzzled.

Hong slowly said, "According to my observation, Chen Yue——"

"Highly talented, quick-witted, and loyal!"

"Brother Hong, this is a good thing." "But he has only fought monsters. Living in the base city, how could he have ever experienced the greed of human nature?" Hong asked back.

Thor suddenly realized.

He looked at Hong. He didn't expect that Hong had such good intentions in training Chen Yue.

You know, he and Hong have come all the way from the Great Nirvana period and have gone through a lot of hardships.

There are countless ghosts of monsters under his command!

But there have also been too many conspiracies and intrigues.

Without constraints, the ugliness of human nature is fully exposed.

If it weren't for his and Hong's rapid rise, the Earth would have been in chaos for who knows how long!
Chen Yue was born in the base city era after all.

Even though he was an orphan, he enjoyed the minimum living allowance from the Chinese government and did not have to worry about his livelihood.

And now Chen Yue has made breakthroughs one after another, and has been appreciated by Hong at a young age.

He will surely rise to a high position on earth in the future!

No one from any faction, unless they are fools, will offend him.

Hong must be worried that Chen Yue would be deceived by this illusion, so he asked him to deal with the Li Tao matter.

Letting him get in touch with the ugly side of human nature as early as possible is also a test for him.

If he hesitates when facing the enemy.

Then his life——

It’s hard to achieve too much!

--------

City No. 023.

The continuous battle had left Wu Tong's body stained with blood. His consciousness was like a dim flame, swaying in the wind and gradually dissipating.

He stubbornly called out the names of several people closest to him with a hint of reluctance.

Xiufen, Tingting, Chen Yue...

At this time, an iron-backed rhinoceros with the strength of a mid-level beast general tightly wrapped its tail around Wu Tong's right leg and then threw him hard.

Then he threw his body far away with great force.

"Roar--!"

At the same time, the other iron-backed rhinoceros saw this and let out an earth-shaking angry howl.

Faced with Wu Tong who had been fighting for a long time, this group of Iron-backed Rhinos seemed to have fallen into complete frenzy and were determined to put this human warrior to death.

One of the huge iron-back rhinos lowered its head and waited for the right moment.

The sharp horn, like a weapon, pointed directly at the place where Wu Tong fell, and then accelerated to charge forward.

Wu Tong, who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, was already exhausted.

Facing the final charge of the Ironback Rhino, he slowly closed his eyes, with two lines of tears leaving the corners of his eyes.

sorry……

Tingting, Daddy can't protect you anymore...

Chen Yue, Uncle Wu can no longer witness your growth...

In the darkness of a residential building not far away, Li Tao was witnessing all this silently, and the smile on his face became more and more intense and distorted.

He held a test tube filled with green liquid in his hand, unscrewed the cap gently, brought the test tube close to his nose and inhaled the scent deeply.

Then he drank the liquid in one gulp.

"Hmm~"

He said to himself, "S-level gene potion! This feeling of being filled with power is so good!"

Then, he raised his head and laughed wildly, his face full of ferocity. "Hahaha! Wu Tong, ah Wu Tong, you will never close your eyes until you die, right?"

His expression was like that of a wild beast in the night, with a chilling wildness.

Sudden--

Li Tao only felt a flash before his eyes, and a purple figure flashed by.

"Puff-"

Then, a sonic boom was heard from a distance.

Looking closely, he saw several iron-backed rhinos that were originally preparing to besiege Wu Tong.

It had already turned into pieces and a bloody mess.

And Wu Tong——

But it still fell to the ground intact.

When Wu Tong was awakened by the sonic boom and slowly opened his eyes, he found a young man walking towards him in the bushes not far away.

"rustle--"

Chen Yue's combat boots stepped on the grass, and the sound of metal and grass intertwined together made him feel particularly safe.

"Uncle Wu, I'm here." The young man smiled and stretched out his hand.

These five short words moved Wu Tong deeply!
In order to save him, Chen Yue traveled thousands of miles back from the West Asian continent...

Wu Tong will never forget this affection in his life.

But Wu Tong suddenly felt something was wrong.

What about the Ironback Rhino?

Those iron-backed rhinos fought with him for an hour and almost killed him.

where it goes?

He stood up to check and saw the mess on the ground.

So violent?

It wasn't until he saw the purple triangular fighter plane parked not far away that he suddenly realized what was going on.

It was the collision of intelligent fighter jets!

At least it’s king level!
Notice.

The speed of light is about 30 kilometers per second!
The speed of sound under standard atmospheric pressure is approximately 340 meters per second.

The speed of light is much greater than the speed of sound!
When the king-class intelligent fighter jet flies past from a distance at a speed of up to Mach 10.6—

The light arrives almost instantly.

When a king-class intelligent fighter jet flies at high speed and breaks the speed of sound, it will produce a shock wave, which is a sonic boom!
Sonic booms can only travel at the speed of sound.

So, whether it was Wu Tong who was present, or Li Tao who was hiding in the dark.

When they saw the plane coming, they heard the sonic boom from behind.

On the fighter plane, Chen Yue has been paying attention to the real-time satellite monitoring data provided by the Chinese military.

When he saw Wu Tong was about to collapse under the attack of the monster.

In desperation!
Chen Yue chose the fastest and most direct method.

Just charge forward with the king-level intelligent fighter!
A king-class intelligent fighter, its body is strong enough to withstand attacks from any lord-class monster!
Faced with these Iron-back Rhinos, which were only at the intermediate beast general level, their defenses were completely vulnerable.

Despite this, Chen Yue himself was not feeling well either.

The devastating impact force was so severe that even though the fighter plane was equipped with the most advanced shock-absorbing system, he still felt dizzy and uncomfortable.

But it's all worth it.

Feeling a gentle force coming from his hand, Wu Tong was pulled up by Chen Yue.

"Uncle Wu, I'll take you home."

Chen Yue looked at Wu Tong and grinned.
