Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 8 Elite Training Camp!

Thor took Gu Ce away.

The fighter jet they were in was moving very fast.

Inside the Gu family manor, Gu Hechang and Gu Hesheng were questioning Wang Heng.

"Wang Heng, Xiao Ce has already told you, right?" Gu Hechang leaned back on the sofa and looked at the ceiling.

"I already said that." Upon hearing this, Wang Heng immediately became serious.

"I believe you're a smart person, and you have a good relationship with Xiao Ce. He Sheng is practically your boss, so I won't hide anything from you," Gu Hechang said. "I have a plant spirit that I obtained by chance, the Poison Blood Mushroom."

"The Poisonous Blood Mushroom contains a deadly poison, but the energy it contains is enough to allow a high-level warrior to break through to the level of a war god. As long as one can withstand the intense pain, one can undergo a transformation, and even the path of cultivation afterward will be unobstructed. Becoming a mid-level war god, or even a high-level war god, is not impossible," Gu Hechang said slowly.

"What if... it couldn't withstand it?" Wang Heng asked.

"He couldn't withstand it, so of course he died." Gu Hechang gave Wang Heng a strange look. "Xiao Ce has great talent and doesn't need this thing. I'm not short of money, so this thing is of no use to me."

"You choose for yourself."

"I...I'm willing to give it a try!" Wang Heng said through gritted teeth.

……

After several hours of flight, the fighter jets arrived at the global headquarters of the Thunder Martial Arts School in Thunder Base City.

Through Thor's boasting on the way, Gu Ce learned that this was the base city that Thor and his followers had established, located outside of China, in southwestern Asia.

"Let's go, kid."

As the fighter jet landed, Thor called Gu Ce to come down; there were already quite a few people waiting on the ground.

"Master!"

A burly man came forward to greet them.

"This is Chen Ping, the administrator of the training camp, a high-level war god, and your mentor for the next five years. Of course, you shouldn't stay for more than five years," Thor introduced.

"Okay." Gu Ce nodded obediently.

"This must be the genius young man from the Gu family," another blonde female martial artist laughed. "It's rare for my Thunder Martial Arts Academy to win against Limit Martial Arts Academy."

"You guys show him around and let him see what's going on here. I'm leaving now," Thor said, as he didn't like being in the public eye.

"No problem, Master!" Chen Ping readily accepted the important task and introduced the people beside him to Gu Ce.

"This is Pansy, the God of War, and the one with glasses is Karl, the God of War. They are both instructors in the training camp."

Gu Ce nodded slightly and greeted him.

Seeing this, Chen Ping continued.

"The training camp is on holiday in January and February each year. It usually officially starts on March 1st, just like at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. I'll take you to see the leaderboard first, let you choose a number, and then take you to the dormitory and other places."

"No problem," Gu Ce said.

The leaderboard is located at the entrance of the training camp, almost identical to that of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. However, the difference is that the black dragon sculpture has been transformed into a coiled silver-scaled giant python, its mouth wide open, its forked tongue flicking out, and a powerful pressure emanating from it.

"This is a king-level monster that the museum master killed back then. He took its two sharp fangs and snake eyes and put them into this sculpture, which is why it has such a lasting aura! It is said that this aura also contains a trace of lightning intent, which is a good helper for cultivating the Nine-fold Thunder Blade," Chen Ping said proudly.

"As for the names on the snake scales, that's where the rankings are located. The top-ranked player each month receives a reward, and ranking requires a boost in combat power and the hunting of monsters," Chen Ping explained. "You can now choose a number from 0 to 99 as your ID."

Gu Ce looked up and saw 110 names on the snake scales, but none of them were familiar.

That's true. The resources of the Thunder Martial Arts School are much worse than those of the Limit Martial Arts School. It's only because Gu Ce was valued by the Thunder God that he was able to receive the promise of those resources.

"I choose 1," Gu Ce said softly.

"Okay." Chen Ping nodded without asking any further questions. The next moment, Gu Ce's name and number appeared on one of the snake scales.

"No. 111 Gu Ce (560801)"

As the rankings appeared on the snake scales, Chen Ping continued to lead Gu Ce to the next location.

Leiwu Mountain Villa.

"Because the owner specifically instructed me, you will be living with our teacher. Several villas over there are empty; you can choose one to stay in. They are fully equipped," Chen Ping said.

"Okay." Gu Ce nodded and quickly chose a place to stay.

"Alright." A smile appeared on Chen Ping's lips, which sent chills down Gu Ce's spine.

"Next, I'll take you to see the Trial Tower! This is technology shared by the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and us! Apart from this place and the Limitless Martial Arts Academy's elite training camp, even the five major powers don't have such facilities," Chen Ping said proudly.

Chen Ping led Gu Ce around a bit, and soon they arrived in front of a building with a futuristic style.

"This is the Nine-Story Tower, the same name as the Limitless Martial Arts Academy," Chen Ping said. "Because it shares the Limitless Martial Arts Academy, you need to queue to use it. But don't worry, the academy owner has given you special privileges; you can cut in line without limit."

Cutting in line? Gu Ce was slightly taken aback. That's fine too.

Arriving at the ninth floor of the Nine-Story Building, I didn't know if the area had been cleared out beforehand or what, but there wasn't a single student there.

Chen Ping led Gu Ce into a room and taught him how to use the virtual reality headset.

The two put on helmets and entered the virtual space together.

Gu Ce felt somewhat surprised. After all, a novel is just a novel, and the feeling of seeing a virtual space for the first time was still quite wonderful. He wondered how ingenious the virtual universe was.

"In the virtual space, everyone's basic physical attributes are the same. You're just a high-level warrior in reality, but your physique will become stronger here. You might need some time to adjust," Chen Ping said. "See that tall tower? That's the Trial Tower."

The Trial Tower soared into the clouds, and was enormous.

Gu Ce and Chen Ping stood at the entrance, looking like two ants.

"Look at that stone pillar." Chen Ping pointed to a black stone pillar to the left of the main entrance to the Trial Tower. There, carvings had appeared on the black pillar—

Name: Gu Ce

Sex: Male

Identity: Elite Training Camp Student

Trial Tower Level: 1

Turning my head to look—

Name: Chen Ping

Sex: Male

Identity: God of War

Trial Tower Level: 4.2

"The Trial Tower has seven levels in total, and no one in the world has been able to reach the seventh level yet, not even Hong," Chen Ping said.

"And what about the owner?" Gu Ce asked, a little curious.

"The Master's Trial Tower is a little lower in level than Hong's, but it's still on the sixth floor," Chen Ping replied, guessing what Gu Ce was going to ask.

"Go ahead, choose your combat uniform and weapons, and see how far you can go," Chen Ping said with a smile.

Gu Ce nodded without further hesitation. After selecting the combat uniform and weapons that suited him, he resolutely stepped into the Trial Tower.

"I wonder how far this genius, whom the master values ​​so highly, can go?" Chen Ping was very curious and somewhat expectant.
