Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 72: Hong's past, your era! War song begins!
The main urban area of ​​Jiangnan Base City.

Inside the huge venue.

As Chen Yue's handsome face appeared on the screen, the eyes of thousands of congressmen and war god-level warriors in the venue were all focused on Chen Yue like a magnet.

However, Chen Yue seemed calm and composed, his eyes still fixed intently on the screen.

As the scene changed on the screen, the young man took a deep breath, took a step forward, and stood firmly in front of the punch strength testing machine.

He swung his arm and punched out with a "pop" sound. The value "1008.1kg!" immediately appeared on the electronic screen.

At this moment, a line of tiny words quietly flashed at the bottom of the screen:

"Chen Yue passed the quasi-warrior assessment on December 2056, 12."

The scene jumped again, showing a small town where monsters were rampant. Eight shadow cats suddenly attacked the lone figure on the street.

The young man stood there, motionless, as if the storm had nothing to do with him.

As the young man swung the sword in his hand, it turned into bright stars. Under the interweaving of light and shadow, the long street was illuminated.

At this moment, another line of words was added at the bottom of the screen: "Chen Yue passed the warrior practical test on February 2057, 2."

As the images kept switching, lines of words appeared at the bottom of the screen...

"On February 2057, 2, Chen Yue will sell his Xingyao technique publicly."

"By the end of July 2057, there were already 7 million warriors practicing the Xingyao technique around the world."

……

As the playback images changed rapidly, the camera suddenly froze on a raging sea, with heavy dark clouds hanging low like hanging boulders.

A bald monk in a white robe was violently whipped by the tentacles of a huge monster with eight arms and legs. He flew backwards and blood spurted like rain.

Next to him, a middle-aged man in black clothes and short hair was staring at the giant beast in front of him with serious eyes.

The audience in front of the TV stared at the screen with tense eyes, as if they wanted to see what was going on in this thrilling battle.

"Oh my God, what kind of monster is this!" In front of the TV, a young man widened his eyes and held the remote control tightly in his hand.

For ordinary people, they don’t know that this is one of the two great beast kings among the sea monsters.

The eight-clawed beast king.

They also didn't know that these two were the two strongest people on Earth, and the owners of the Extreme Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School.

Hong and Thunder God.

However, the members of the God of War Palace present at the scene knew what was going on.

"It's the First Speaker and the Second Speaker!" A member of the War God Palace recognized Hong and Lei Shen in the picture.

That epic battle took place deep under the sea, and the details are unknown.

Only later did the two museum owners admit that it was Councillor Chen Yue who personally killed the two Beast Kings.

However, the scene before them was jaw-dropping!
The Beast King was so powerful that he easily dealt a heavy blow to the Thunder God, and Hong lost the strength to fight again.

"Master!" Chen Yue couldn't hold back any longer, he looked towards Hong.

Hong smiled and said, "Come to the virtual space of the War God Palace."

Hearing this, Chen Yue took action immediately.

"Babata, help me connect to the virtual space of the Palace of the God of War." He called out to Babata.

--------

Palace of War God, virtual space.

A solemn and majestic palace stands under the illusory sky.

In this grand hall, Hong, Lei Shen, and Chen Yue gathered together.

The air around seemed to freeze, filled with a breathtaking atmosphere of tension and solemnity.

Hong stood in the center of the hall, looking towards the end of the palace, with a hint of determination in his voice.

"From now on, the Ares Palace will be closed and will no longer be open. This will also be the last time I set foot here."

His words echoed in the empty hall, and every word he spoke seemed to leave a heavy mark in the long river of history.

Chen Yue's gaze was fixed on Hong like a sharp arrow, the light in his eyes flickering, capturing every subtle emotional fluctuation in Hong.

He was already aware of the huge disparity between the content of the video and reality, but the hidden meaning behind it made him feel overwhelmed and unable to calm down.

After the death of the Thunder Dragon Emperor, Hong and the Thunder God could have continued the battle, but they chose to give it to Chen Yue.

However, the video deliberately depicts the scene where they were injured...

All this made Chen Yue full of doubts, and he seemed to have vaguely grasped Hong's intentions.

"Master, why do you make such arrangements?" Chen Yue's voice trembled slightly.

Hong did not answer Chen Yue directly, but turned to the bald Thor next to him.

"Second brother, do you remember that you once asked me a question and how I answered you?" Hong's voice was steady and powerful.

Lei Shen showed a smile of sudden enlightenment on his face, "Brother Hong, tell me, this is Chen Yue's era."

"That's right!" Hong's laughter spread throughout the hall.

"Chen Yue, let me tell you a story. The story of a killer..." Hong Chen's voice was a little sad, and his words slowly floated in the air.

"There was once a young boy who had a loving family, but he had a tragic fate."

"When he was still young, he was kidnapped to West Asia, and the kidnappers sold him to a killer organization. The leader of the organization saw his potential in martial arts training, and it only took three years!
"He was forged into a top killer."

"When this young man became a killer, his first target was a businessman couple from Huaxia."

"The task was completed smoothly and easily, and the boy also received his first reward - a full 1 yuan!"

"For him, this was both the first time he made money and the first time he saw such a huge amount of money at one time."

“He used it to buy his favorite delicacies, shared them with his companions, and chose a beautiful outfit for himself.”

"Since then, he has carried out dangerous missions many times, and he has returned safely every time."

"This is because he is an exceptional killer, a killing machine that no one can match!"

Hong's voice suddenly became angry and hoarse, and he began to pant violently. Chen Yue and Lei Shen stood quietly by without disturbing him.

After a while, Hong calmed down and continued his narration.

"Finally, the boy completed one hundred missions, met the organization's requirements, and was able to regain his freedom."

"However, he learned a cruel truth - his first target turned out to be his biological parents."

Hong's eyes were filled with tears, and his voice revealed powerlessness and despair, like a walking corpse.

"He was kept in the dark by the organization and they never intended to let him go free."

"By chance, he escaped from the organization and tried to report the case to the local government."

"Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the local officials had already colluded with the assassin organization and sentenced him to ten years in prison for his identity as a killer."

"But the boy's genetic power awakened overnight. He killed all the enemies and escaped from the prison."

"Time has passed. Even though he eventually became the strongest and led his compatriots to defeat the alien race and win, he still could not forgive the crimes he had committed and regarded himself as deeply sinful."

"His motherland invited him to return many times, but he always declined."

"On the one hand, he resented ZQ and longed to take control of power in his own hands; on the other hand, he saw himself as a sinner who was unworthy of returning to the embrace of his motherland."

……

Hong's story ended here. He did not reveal the boy's name, and Chen Yue and Lei Shen did not ask any further questions.

"Master, that boy was caught up in the wheel of time, but he is a true hero."

Chen Yue stared at Hong, his eyes revealing deep determination.
"Era? That era is over..." Hong was silent for a moment.

He then suddenly spoke, with a hint of firmness in his voice: "Chen Yue, in this era——"

"It belongs to you!"

"You shine like a bright star, and you are the leader that drives the times forward! You cannot escape this responsibility."

Hong's eyes became complicated, as if he was recalling his past.

Hong's voice was a little tired. "I once played this role, and it was indeed very difficult... But now, seeing your rise, I can finally entrust everything to you with confidence."

Chen Yue felt a strong emotion surging in his chest, and the foggy confusion dissipated instantly at this moment.

At this moment, Hong personally pulled himself down from the altar, just to shape him——

Chen Yue!

Let him become the leader of the new era.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yue said firmly: "Thank you, Master!" His voice was firm and powerful, without any hesitation.

Now that things have come to this, there is no turning back.

He took a step forward and walked out of the Palace of the God of War.

--------

The consciousness of several people returned to reality.

His eyes once again focused on the video that was still playing.

Just when the two gym owners on Earth were seriously injured——

Suddenly, there was lightning and thunder in the sky, and the lightning cut through the thick clouds like a sharp sword.

What followed was a rumbling thunder, like the roar of a god, shaking the entire sea.

The waves crashed violently, like the roar of a giant beast, hitting the screen again and again, stirring up huge waves in the audience's hearts.

A sudden change occurred, a beam of shocking light bloomed in the rough sea, and a majestic figure emerged against the background of thunder and lightning.

"Dad, what is that?"

In front of the TV, a little girl looked up and asked her father, her eyes flashing with curiosity and desire for the unknown.

"It's... it's a king-level monster. No! It's the Beast King! The Thunder Dragon King!"

The middle-aged man behind the girl was obviously a high-level warrior. He looked at the huge figure, his voice trembling, his eyes full of fear and shock that could not be concealed.

The scene quickly switched, focusing on the men in black and white robes. At this moment, a hint of despair flashed in the eyes of the two Hong men.

The TV broadcast captured the thunderous eyes of the Thunder Dragon Emperor in no time.

Every blink of its eyes was accompanied by a crackling sound of electric light, as if it was about to tear the screen apart.

Everyone watching couldn't help but hold their breath as they watched this thrilling confrontation.

In this tense atmosphere, Chen Yue's figure seemed to leap out from the abyss, standing tall in front of the Thunder Dragon King.

"Your opponent is me!"

Chen Yue's voice sounded like a war drum. He shouted loudly and rushed towards the Thunder Dragon Emperor resolutely.

"Dad, can we beat this big brother?" the little girl asked her father again, her eyes full of expectation and worry.

"Of course! Humans will never surrender!"

The middle-aged man's voice was firm and powerful. He clenched his fists and stared at the screen with burning eyes.

At this moment, the shadow knife in Chen Yue's hand was like a meteor cutting through the night sky, emitting dazzling light.

As he swung the knife, the air seemed to be cut by the extremely dazzling light.

On the TV, a melodious and powerful background music slowly flowed.

As if to add more fighting spirit to this tense confrontation scene——

I love you walking alone in the dark alley,
Love the way you don't kneel,
Loving you is like despair.
Refuse to cry!
Love your tattered clothes,
But dare to block the gun of fate,
Love you for being so much like me,
……

Every line of the lyrics is like an inspiring battle song, stirring the passion and courage in the hearts of every viewer.

The little girl's eyes also sparkled brighter with the rhythm of the music.

She held her father's hand tightly, her heart filled with deep faith in the big brother.
