Swallowing the Stars: Eternal Glory

Let's have a battle in Chapter 8!

Those who pass the practical assessment, regardless of their actual strength, will be classified as novice warriors unless they undergo higher-level warrior certification.

As for the 100 million Chinese yuan, it was transferred to Lu Jinwu's account by the old man's arrangement.

This 100 million Chinese yuan was not all the start-up capital the family gave him; it was only the funds to purchase the secret manual.

Martial arts manuals are copyrighted and belong to their creators. All martial artists are prohibited from teaching them privately and they can only be purchased from major martial arts platforms.

Regarding weaponry and equipment, Lu Jin certainly won't need to pay for the first set himself; the family will provide it.

Ignoring the introductory email from the HR Alliance platform, Lu Jin went straight to searching for the tips and tricks.

"Shh!"

The large screen displayed various secret techniques in a flash.

Apocalypse

Category: Marksmanship

Rating: Ultimate

Price: 1000 billion Chinese Yuan
"Nine Layers of Thunder Sword"

Category: Knife Technique

Rating: Ultimate

Price: 1000 billion Chinese Yuan
……

Fog Sword

Category: Swordsmanship

Rating: S-level

Price: 30 billion Chinese Yuan
The HR Alliance doesn't emphasize contribution points, so there's no such thing as contribution credits or half-price discounts; all tips are full price.

Of course, the HR Alliance's monster material acquisition price is also much higher than that of the military and the two major martial arts schools. In addition, the half-price discount offered by the military and the two major martial arts schools also has a certain contribution threshold.

Generally speaking, the major martial arts platforms are pretty much the same.

Then, Lu Jin opened the "Mist Sword," a sword technique manual rated S-level and considered the highest level on Earth.

"Mist Sword" (all five levels), Price: 30 billion Chinese Yuan.
The first four levels of "Mist Sword" cost: 10 billion Chinese Yuan.
The first three levels of "Mist Sword" cost 3 million Chinese Yuan.
The first two levels of "Mist Sword" cost 1 million Chinese Yuan.
The first level of "Mist Sword" costs 5000 million Chinese Yuan.
The S-rank manual "Mist Sword" has five levels in total. Once the fifth level is mastered, the user's physical strength can be multiplied by 4.8 times.

Without hesitation, Lu Jin directly purchased the first two levels of "Mist Sword".

With the "Light and Shadow Sword Manual" available, this 100 million Chinese yuan can be considered a complete waste.

However, every martial artist buys martial arts manuals. If he doesn't, wouldn't he seem very different?

Not buying the first two parts of "Mist Sword" would be difficult to explain to the old man.

It's just a small goal, nothing to the Lu family. And it will be even more insignificant once they become powerful. It's a waste if they want to.

The following morning, inside the underground martial arts training hall.

Referring to the first move of the "Six Styles of Light and Shadow," "Floating Light," Lu Jin practiced his swordsmanship alone amidst flashing sword light, waiting for Li Tao's arrival.

Although Li Tao was in a cooldown period, Lu Jin didn't mind.

It's okay if we don't get any drops; it's good if we can gain more combat experience.

Having an experienced master as a sparring partner can lead to far greater progress and improvement in swordsmanship than practicing alone.

"Da da da--"

After a while, footsteps came from outside the training hall.

Turning his head, Lu Jin saw three figures walk in.

The elderly gentleman, Lu Yi, his mentor, Li Tao, and a lean, sharp-eyed middle-aged man.

In addition, Li Tao was also carrying a silver box.

"Grandpa, Uncle Li, Uncle Bin."

Lu Jin stepped forward to greet him. Lu Jin also recognized the lean middle-aged man, named Lu Bin, a member of a collateral branch of the family, one generation older than him, a mid-level warrior, and also a rare mentalist.

Of course, Lu Bin's psychic talent is not very strong; his innate psychic ability is only at the level of a beginner warrior.

After becoming an intermediate-level warrior martial artist and realizing his psychic talent, and later cultivating to the intermediate-level warrior mentalist level, he has been unable to become an advanced warrior mentalist over the years.

However, with his cultivation as a mid-level warrior spirit master and a mid-level warrior martial artist, his overall strength can be considered among the best below the God of War. Ordinary high-level warriors are no match for him.

There's no way around it; the spiritual masters during the apprenticeship stage are really a bit shameless.

Let alone martial artists of the same level, even those of a higher level are very likely to fall victim to the flying knives of a mentalist.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that in the absence of a lineage, the amplitude of psychic power is relatively easier to increase than the multiplier of physical exertion.

Just like Thor, who once exerted the highest physical force in the world, he only exerted seven times the force.

However, the amplitude of the Fourth Speaker, East, reached double digits.

“Xiao Jin, you also know Lu Bin. He and Li Tao will accompany you when you go to the wilderness for training in the future.”

Lu Yi said to Lu Jin.

The family's direct line had finally produced a genius. As the head of the family and Lu Jin's biological grandfather, the old man would naturally do everything he could to prevent Lu Jin from dying young.

Although Lu Bin is not a war god, or even a high-level warrior, his mental mastery allows him to fly by manipulating objects, a skill that war gods cannot match.

It can be said that even if they encounter a beast tide, as long as they don't provoke a lord-level or king-level monster, with Lu Bin joining the guards, he doesn't need to worry about Lu Jin's safety.

"Uncle Bin, please take good care of me in the future."

Lu Jin cupped his hands in greeting.

"Haha, I heard from the patriarch that you are a genius. From now on, you will be looking after me."

Lu Bin said with a smile.

There are potential benefits to being a protector of geniuses.

A genius's cultivation speed is very fast. I believe that in a few years, Lu Jin's strength will surpass that of a mid-level warrior.

Once Lu Jin becomes a war god in the future, he'll be able to latch onto his coattails.

Even if one could attain the position of a legislator, that would be a glamorous golden opportunity.

At that time, the past friendship and camaraderie will be considered as meritorious service in supporting the emperor.

After all, the power wielded by powerful members of parliament is in no way inferior to, and may even be greater than, that of emperors in ancient China.

"Uncle Bin, let's have a match!"

Since they were all acquaintances, Lu Jin didn't stand on ceremony and directly issued a challenge.

This elder from a collateral branch is a psychic, and the drop range of my own cheat seems to be quite wide. If I take on more challenges, I might be able to get the psychic talent.

With his advanced warrior physique, even if he only acquires the psychic talent of a beginner warrior, he can directly become a beginner warrior psychic.

At that time, with the efficiency of a mentalist hunting monsters, going to the wilderness to mow down grass in a frenzy, wouldn't the life essence be inexhaustible, and thus quickly becoming a top powerhouse on Earth?
At this moment, Lu Jin couldn't help but imagine a bright future.

Lu Bin: "."

"You boy!"

Lu Yi glared at Lu Jin with annoyance, then pointed to the silver box in Li Tao's hand and said, "There is a set of equipment customized for your body shape in here, and the first two levels of 'Mist Sword' that you bought are also in here."

"Once you've mastered the first level of 'Mist Sword,' you can go out and train in the wilderness."

If Lu Jin hadn't been so talented, Lu Yi wouldn't have made this request.

Although "Mist Sword" is only an S-rank manual, it is still quite difficult to learn.

But since Lu Jin is a genius and has a sharp mind, it is necessary for him to master the first level of "Mist Sword" before venturing into the wilderness for training.

After all, the wilderness is dangerous, and Lu Yi didn't want his family's hopes for rise to be jeopardized in any way.

In addition, he also realized that Lu Jin was very belligerent, and that putting him under some restrictions might bring out even greater potential.
