Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Pair of Double Pupils

In the military region.

Ten officers read out the names of the prospective warriors. Those whose names were called could then step forward to receive their combat uniforms and other equipment.

"Fang Yi".

Upon hearing his name called, Fang Yi walked towards the stage.

It was at this moment that the other prospective martial artists and officers realized that the candidate who went up on stage was blindfolded the whole time and walked as if on flat ground.

It's truly astonishing.

The officer in charge of distributing equipment saw Fang Yi and asked with surprise, "This candidate, combat assessment is not child's play, what you're doing..."

"Don't worry, my eyes are healthy. This is just to train my physical senses."

Fang Yi explained the situation and then took his equipment.

The officer and those around him understood after hearing this.

After all, real-world assessments are not child's play; while the mortality rate is low, the disability rate cannot be ignored.

"That's good. Also, your combat suit, boots, and communication watch are all ready. But why did you only take the Blood Shadow Knife? This knife is more of a secondary weapon than a common, mainstream primary weapon."

The officer distributing the equipment asked, puzzled.

"I'm not very skilled with weapons; I'm better at fist techniques. I can cut things with a knife."

Fang Yi didn't say much. The combat uniform he requested had been specially modified for his fists. He then went to another place to prepare.

After getting dressed and chatting for a while, the members of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy arrived with a group of people to pick them up. On the way, Fang Yi also met Zhuge Tao, one of the four giants of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

"You are Fang Yi?" Zhuge Tao looked at Fang Yi, who was wrapped in black cloth, with sharp eyes.

"Um."

"I've heard about you from Lao Wu. Your punching power of nearly 2000kg in the preliminary martial arts assessment is enough to prove your talent. I love talent the most. After you become a martial artist, feel free to come to me if you need anything. Also, Luo Feng, you two have achieved excellent results. Don't be shy in the future."

Zhuge Tao looked at the two of them with a smile, and Luo Feng nodded seriously.

"There's more to come that will surprise you even more," Wu Tong said with a smile, glancing at Zhuge Tao.

"Oh?" The latter looked at Wu Tong with a strange expression.

Of the group, only Wu Tong knew Fang Yi's true strength.

Instead of revealing Fang Yi's terrifying true talent, the other party kept it hidden until he fully became a martial artist.

Soon, the group stood on the outskirts of the town.

The town is now teeming with weak H-class monsters.

"Everyone, the rules for this practical assessment are the same as before... the more monsters you kill, the more points you get... Remember, it is forbidden for prospective martial artists to kill each other... Among you 1681 prospective martial artists..."

The speech concluded.

All 1600-plus aspiring martial artists poured into Monster Town!

The martial arts assessment has officially begun!

……

Entering the town.

Fang Yi did not accept Luo Feng's invitation and wandered through the crowd alone.

In the abandoned building.

As soon as Fang Yi entered, he heard the sound of a ferocious beast charging at incredible speed, "Whoosh—!"

Listening to the sound, he peered through the cloth with his double pupils.

But all he saw were two fierce mastiffs. Their eyes gleamed with a terrifying cold light, their sharp teeth bared. They peeked out from around the corner, staring intently at him.

"Tiger Mastiff...a species of canine monster with extremely high speed and strength."

Fang Yi tilted his head slightly, but did not directly use his pupil power to observe the other party.

Instead, they identified the species by the low growl and the sound of its claws hitting the ground as it ran, including the heavy claws.

Shadowcat's running will be more agile and won't feel so heavy.

As for the iron-haired wild boar...

You don't need to see with your eyes; you can tell their identity just by listening.

Two tiger mastiffs slowly revealed themselves, their eyes fixed on Fang Yi, this unfamiliar creature. After a low growl, they slammed their paws to the ground and charged forward like cannonballs!

fast.

The first reaction of an ordinary novice martial artist upon seeing this would be to create distance before launching a counterattack.

But Fang Yi suddenly flashed out!

The two tiger mastiffs made their move the instant they charged!

He arrived before the two beasts at an even faster speed. The two beasts' pupils widened in surprise, and the next second, a loud "bang" was heard, the sound of bones and flesh cracking was heard!

Fang Yi smashed the head of a tiger mastiff with a single punch, leaving an extremely deep and terrifying fist mark.

Meanwhile, another tiger mastiff took the opportunity to circle around behind Fang Yi and swung its claws to strike. Its tall figure raised its upper body, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

However, in the next instant.

Fang Yi turned around and delivered a spinning whip punch, slamming it heavily onto the edge of the opponent's wide-open tiger's mouth.

In an instant, his jaw was violently ripped open!

The enormous tiger tooth, covered in foul-smelling saliva, was knocked out of the window and fell onto the surrounding street.

The tiger mastiff, in pain, instinctively howled.

Before he could even make a move, Fang Yi grabbed his upper teeth, spun him around, and slammed him down with a dull thud.

In those pupils filled with incomprehension and terror.

Fang Yi kicked hard, stepping directly on the tiger mastiff's throat!

A single kick shattered its neck, and the tiger mastiff died on the spot.

The battle, from the moment the two sides met to the start of their struggle, lasted less than 10 seconds before it was over.

This was Fang Yi's first time killing a living being.

However, he showed no sign of tension. Many aspiring martial artists would feel fear and apprehension when they first saw a monster.

Even after killing the other party, it takes time to adjust one's mindset.

Fang Yi, being a time traveler who has lived two lives, possesses a mindset far superior to those of his age or even those several years older than him.

"Is this what it feels like to challenge a monster that devours everything?"

"It feels...not bad."

Fang Yi murmured softly for a moment.

He shook the blood off his combat gloves, took out a knife, cut off the ears of the two tiger mastiffs, and put them into his backpack.

During the battle.

The combat suit showed no signs of wear on his fists.

Upon closer inspection, one can see a faint blue-purple light emanating from Fang Yi's combat uniform gloves. This light reinforces the combat uniform, making it more durable and less prone to damage.

"The double pupil divine light is really useful, and it can also be hidden in the combat suit to achieve an extra protection effect."

After Fang Yi became a quasi-martial artist.

He cultivated tirelessly every day, absorbing cosmic energy. Finally, a week before the practical assessment began, his progress in developing double pupils reached 1%, and he also comprehended the extremely special ability "Creation" on top of his original basic "illusion technique".

The double pupils, imbued with divine light, illuminated the body, transforming it into divine armor, as sturdy as a mountain.

Double pupils.

As one of the most supreme objects in the perfect world, it contains boundless power.

Illusion is just the most basic ability.

As he further awakens and cultivates to explore his potential, Fang Yi can now feel that he can use the power of his double pupils to spread throughout his body.

To create an extremely powerful suit of armor to protect oneself.

However, due to the double pupils, it is not yet complete.

Fang Yi was not yet proficient in "Creation" and his foundation was unstable, so the range of his divine armor was not large. Therefore, he prioritized spreading it across his fists.

"Once I acquire better armor, coupled with the Double Pupil Divine Light Armor, my defense will be no weaker than any martial artist of the same realm!"
