Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 29 Chen Yue's Choice, Global Broadcast

In Hong's quiet room.

Chen Yue sat in the corner of the long table, with Hong and Lei Shen sitting on his left and right respectively.

Chen Yue closed his eyes and sat quietly. He did not become complacent because of Hong's praise.

Under the huge unwillingness and Hong's pressure, his will seemed to be even stronger.

Chen Yue slowly opened his eyes, bowed respectfully to Hong, and said, "Thank you, Master."

A look of admiration appeared on Hong's face.

Then Hong nodded gently, "As for the matter of dragon blood, you don't need to worry too much."

Hong continued, "The preparation of dragon blood is indeed complicated, and the dragon blood given to you this time is slightly different from the previous ones. But you will receive it within three days at the latest."

Different? How could it be different?
Chen Yue couldn't help but feel confused.

In the original work, dragon blood was mentioned.

It can only be supplied steadily by Hong alone, but its production method is never explained.

However, Chen Yue imagined that since it could be supplied stably, it should not be rare.

The fundamental reason why Hong controls the supply is simply to maintain market monopoly.

Chen Yue also understood this.

After all, no one is a saint.

If he were in the same situation, he believes he would make the same choice.

Seeing that Chen Yue was still silent, Hong continued, "Dragon blood can roughly double your strength."

Hong seemed a little proud. "And the dragon blood I provided you this time, I also specially added some spiritual plants containing the essence of heaven and earth. It can increase your strength by about two times."

Chen Yue showed a surprised expression.

A spiritual plant containing the essence of heaven and earth?
Could it be the spirits of plants and trees?
Indeed, the cultivators on Earth did not know—

Those plant spirits are actually created from wood crystal powder.

Strength increased by two times? That's really good.

Chen Yue was quite satisfied with this unexpected surprise.

Seeing that Chen Yue was slow to speak, Hong mistakenly thought that he was still shocked by the effects of the dragon's blood.

He smiled and said, "Don't be surprised. I noticed that you are in great need of spiritual objects to improve your physical fitness."

He continued, "So I took the initiative to add some plant essences for you, but the preparation process was quite complicated and took several days, which was really beyond my expectation."

Hong half-jokingly said, "Chen Yue, you won't resent me for this, right?"

Chen Yue quickly replied: "Master, you are joking! How could I have any complaints against you? You have already shown me a lot of care."

These words came from Chen Yue's sincere heart.

In the original novel, even Luo Feng did not receive such treatment.

Perhaps it was because Chen Yue was from the same lineage of warriors, or perhaps it was because Hong was quite satisfied with Chen Yue's character.

In short, he treats Chen Yue differently from others.

Hong nodded and continued, "The new semester of the elite training camp will begin tomorrow. This time, I have also prepared two options for you."

"1. Take the dragon blood immediately. With your current strength and the time you spend in the ancient civilization gravity room next month, you can directly enter the threshold of the primary war god."

"However, according to the rules of the elite training camp, once you reach the God of War level, you must immediately go to the Australian continent to take a life-and-death adventure."

"2. Do not take the dragon blood for now, until your physical fitness stabilizes at the peak of a high-level warrior. Then take it. By then, you can directly reach the level of a mid-level war god."

"Each has its pros and cons. You can choose for yourself."

Chen Yue digested this information from Hong on the side.

Hong sat aside and did not disturb Chen Yue.

He stopped Thor who was about to speak with his eyes.

In Hong's opinion, Chen Yue would undoubtedly choose the second option.

He believed that with Chen Yue's understanding, he would definitely be able to see his intention -

First lay a solid foundation, consolidate your cultivation, and then make improvements.

A blockbuster.

This is the path that a genius like Chen Yue should take.

As for the first option, a life-or-death adventure? That was pure bullshit.

Chen Yue pondered for a moment and quickly made a judgment:

Hong had apparently learned of the fact that he was using the ancient civilization's gravity chamber.

Apart from Chen Yue, only Inspector Wang knew about it, but it was impossible for Inspector Wang to report such a small matter to Hong.

This means there is only one possibility -

Hong has been keeping a close eye on him.

In addition, Chen Yue knew clearly that the students in the elite training camp did need to take life-and-death adventures, but this did not mean that they had to participate once they reached the level of God of War.

In fact, such a test is held only on August 8st every year.

The reason why Chen Yue had such a deep impression was that during this period of time, Luo Feng was hunted by Li Yao.

Who is Hong? How could he deceive a junior like him?

I think he must have a deeper purpose.

After careful consideration, Chen Yue thought there were two possibilities.

First, Hong hopes to use this opportunity to train him and allow him to achieve a breakthrough through life-and-death adventures.

Second, Hong wanted to use this excuse to force Chen Yue to give up.

However, regardless of Hong's true intention, Chen Yue already had his own answer in his heart. Chen Yue said, "Master, I choose the first option."

Hong was stunned.

He advised, "Don't worry. Think about it carefully and answer me when you are clear."

"I've thought it over." Chen Yue nodded firmly.

When he becomes a primary war god, the Australian continent is full of dangers.

But as long as you are careful and don't provoke king-level monsters, there shouldn't be too many problems.

Going to the Australian continent to find Misty Island has always been part of Chen Yue’s many plans.

It was just put at the back before.

This was mainly because Chen Yue had not found a suitable excuse and he was worried that insisting on going might arouse other people's suspicion.

Now, there seems to be an opportunity to implement this trip to Kirishima in advance.

Looks pretty good too!
Hong stared at Chen Yue for a long while, then he slowly said, "Chen Yue, you did a great job! You really didn't let me down."

Hong picked up the teacup and took a sip, then continued, "Then, go back and prepare. I will urge them to prepare the dragon blood immediately."

Chen Yue felt very happy and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Hall! I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Hong responded calmly: "Yeah."

After Chen Yue left Hong's quiet room, Lei Shen couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Hong, how did you predict that Chen Yue would choose the first option?"

Hong glanced at him sideways and replied calmly: "I didn't predict it."

Thor was puzzled: "What about what you said before about laying a solid foundation?"

Hong replied, "Second brother, I have recently reached a bottleneck in my field. Why don't you practice with me?"

"..."

Thor was speechless and at a loss.

--------

Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou City, Mingyue Community.

Wu Ting gently pushed open the door and saw her father Wu Tong sitting in front of the TV, watching the screen intently.

"Dad, why are you back so early? What's on TV that attracts you so much?" she asked in surprise.

She couldn't help but walk closer to watch.

A fierce battle was being played on the screen. Wu Tong was fighting a strange-looking rhinoceros monster.

The rhino-like monster suddenly wrapped its tail around his legs and threw him high into the air.

The scene suddenly changed——

Inside the fighter plane, a stern-looking young man frowned, his face full of seriousness.

"Speed ​​up, speed up!" he shouted anxiously.

With the rapid switching of scenes——

Wu Tong fell to the ground exhausted, and a rhinoceros was ready to launch a fierce charge.

At this critical moment!
A purple fighter plane suddenly came flying and crashed into the surging herd of rhinos, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, and then stopped not far away.

The screen then switches to the interior of the fighter plane.

The young man slowly stood up, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and on his body caused by the huge impact, and carefully tidied up his combat uniform.

He walked towards the cabin door with firm and heavy steps.

"Chen Yue..."

Wu Ting, sitting in front of the TV, repeated the young man's name in a low voice.

--------

Jiangnan base city, main urban area.

Inside a residential building.

A thin young man was staring at the TV in a daze.

In the screen——

A burly bald man with a scar on his face exuding a terrifying aura.

He shouted loudly, "Hahaha! Come on, kid! Without a fighter plane, you are nothing! Let you taste the wrath of the God of War first!"

"!@#￥%……&*"

A young man with a stern expression stood there. His words sounded unclear and his voice seemed to have been processed.

He suddenly moved, using his strange body movements to easily avoid the burly man's charge.

Then, the young man swung the sword in his hand, like a meteor drawing a series of graceful arcs in the wind, and hit the strong man's face hard.

The picture seemed to freeze, and after a few seconds, a transition appeared -

The blade light dissipated with the wind, and the strong man fell in a pool of blood.

The picture gradually moves away, leaving only the young man's slightly lonely back.

……

"Akun, it's time to eat. What are you looking at so intently?"

A woman asked gently, walking over with a hint of concern.

"Mom, it's him! He's the expert who saved me and my uncle last time."

Chang Kun said excitedly, and then added in a low voice: "He is also the one who led me to the path of a warrior."
