Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 14 Unexpected Event (Please continue reading)

Meanwhile, Zhuge Tao, one of the four giants of the Extreme Club in Jiangnan Base City, was chatting with Director Liu of the Jiangnan Base City Security Bureau outside Monster Town.

"Zhuge, do you think the young genius your Extreme Martial Arts Academy recruited this time will outperform the Thunder Martial Arts Academy in this assessment?" Liu Dong asked with a smile.

The Ultimate Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School were founded by Hong, the world's strongest warrior, and Thor, the second strongest warrior, respectively.

From the very beginning, the two martial arts schools have been competing with each other, each trying to outdo the other in everything. Naturally, the talented martial artists recruited each year are part of this competition.

"That kid Luo Feng is quite steady. I wonder if he can give me a surprise this time?" Zhuge Tao said calmly.

Zhuge Tao smiled as he recalled Luo Feng's reaction when the genius from the Thunder Martial Arts Academy provoked him.

However, both Wan Dong and Luo Feng were just talented young people. Their competition was just something Zhuge Tao and the others did to amuse themselves when they had nothing else to do, and it shouldn't be taken seriously at all.

Just then, a series of monster roars suddenly came from outside the town.

"What's going on?" Zhuge Tao and Liu Dong were startled and quickly looked behind them warily.

Several heavy trucks were seen driving towards Monster Town again.

"It's a vehicle transporting monsters!" Liu Dong said in confusion, "What's wrong with Hou Zhen? Why is he only transporting monsters now!"

"Something's not right!" Zhuge Tao said seriously. "Hou Zhen already transported a batch of monsters before the assessment even started. This second transport must mean something we don't know has happened. Let's go check it out!"

"Alright!"

After saying that, Zhuge Tao and his companion headed directly toward the large building where Hou Zhen and Wang Heng were.

……

Yang Wu, who had just finished hunting down a wave of monsters that had arrived, was about to head to another location to continue hunting. Suddenly, several hurried footsteps came from not far away.

Yang Wu looked up and saw several martial artists dressed in military combat uniforms rushing towards him.

"What's going on?" Yang Wu asked, puzzled but secretly on guard.

According to Yang Wu's understanding, these people wouldn't have appeared at all if the prospective martial artist hadn't pressed the distress button.

"Candidate Yang Wu, please don't be nervous! We are military personnel in charge of the assessment; we just need your cooperation!"

Upon seeing Yang Wu's wary expression, the leading officer slowed his pace, explaining his purpose while taking out his identification.

Yang Wu's expression softened slightly. He nodded to the group and asked, "I'm currently undergoing the preliminary martial artist assessment. Is there anything you need from me?"

The officer was shocked as he looked around at the large number of monster corpses.

He slowly walked up to Yang Wu and said, "Examinee Yang Wu, our commander from the Northern Military Region wants to see you. Please come with me!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Wu understood that someone must have seen him in battle.

"Okay!" Yang Wu replied and followed the others away from Monster Town.

……

In a small room inside the large building, Wang Heng and Hou Zhen had long lost their appetite for drinking.

"Iron Monkey, haven't you found out anything about this person yet? Don't let Zhuge Tao from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy snatch him away!" Wang Heng said.

It would be fine if he gave it to the Chinese military, but if such a genius were snatched away by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, he would probably be depressed for a long time.

"I've already sent people to investigate, but it won't be that quick! What's the rush? This person might have been a student at your Thunder Martial Arts Academy before," Hou Zhen said calmly.

He has already gained the upper hand, so naturally he is not flustered.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"They're here!" Hou Zhen's face lit up with joy, and he quickly called out, "Come in!"

"Hahaha..." Liu Dong's hearty laughter came from outside the door. "Old Hou, you guys are really enjoying yourselves drinking here!"

"Why is he here?" Wang Heng and Hou Zhen frowned upon hearing Liu Dong's voice.

Although Hou Zhen and Liu Dong both belong to the Huaxia Kingdom, they are from different systems and there is considerable competition between them.

When Wang Heng and his companion saw Zhuge Tao also enter, they felt even more frustrated.

"Zhuge, Lao Liu, what brings you here?"

Hou Zhen's face changed instantly, as if by magic; just a moment ago his expression was full of bitterness, but now it was all smiles.

"Old Hou!" Liu Dong didn't mince words and asked seriously, "Zhuge and I just saw the soldiers transporting monsters into the town again. Could something have gone wrong?"

"No!" Hou Zhen's face showed a hint of unease, and he quickly said, "It was just a small mistake in calculating the number of monsters earlier. You can go and see for yourselves if you don't believe me. Come on, I'll take you!"

After saying this, Hou Zhen gave Wang Heng a wink and prepared to leave with Zhuge Tao and the other man.

"Old Hou!" Zhuge Tao, who had been watching Hou Zhen's expression closely, suddenly said, "You and Old Wang aren't hiding something from me and Old Liu, are you?"

"What could I possibly be hiding from you..." Hou Zhen retorted guiltily.

"Report!"

Suddenly, another voice rang out from outside the door, but this time, Hou Zhen's face was devoid of a smile.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhuge Tao and Liu Dong, Hou Zhen could only let the man in and ask, "What is it?"

"Reporting, sir!" The officer who entered completely ignored Hou Zhen's glare and said directly, "I've found the information on the person you asked me to find. His name is Yang Wu, a senior student at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Yangzhou City. He just passed the preliminary martial artist assessment last month!"

"Old Hou?" Zhuge Tao heard the officer mention the name of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and immediately became wary. He asked directly, "Did he just mention Yang Wu from our Limitless Martial Arts Academy?"

Although Zhuge Tao had no idea who Yang Wu was, it didn't stop him from including Yang Wu in the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

"This..." Hou Zhen hesitated, unsure whether to reveal the actual situation.

"hey-hey!"

At this moment, Wang Heng from Thunder Martial Arts Academy suddenly laughed and said, "Zhuge, Yang Wu was just a student at your Limit Martial Arts Academy. He never signed a contract with you. How did he become one of your Limit Martial Arts Academy members?"

"Old Wang!" Although Zhuge Tao didn't know what had happened, he was certain that what Wang Heng opposed was exactly what he wanted to insist on. "Yang Wu is studying at my Extreme Martial Arts Academy, so of course he's one of my people. What's there to argue about?"

At this moment, Liu Dong looked puzzled and asked Hou Zhen directly, "Old Hou, what's going on with this Yang Wu? Is it related to those monsters that were just brought in?"

Hou Zhen knew that once Yang Wu was brought here, he would not be able to hide it from Zhuge Tao and the other man, so he simply told them the whole truth.

"What did you say? Warrior-level strength? How is that possible?" Zhuge Tao and Liu Dong were both stunned.

As one of the giants of their respective forces in the Jiangnan base city, they have seen many geniuses, on the contrary, quite a few. But as for a genius who has just participated in the quasi-martial artist assessment and already possesses the strength of a warrior general, they have never heard of such a person before!

"Otherwise, why wouldn't I tell you? Old Wang and I saw it with our own eyes, would we lie to you?" Hou Zhen said with a helpless smile, "If you two really don't believe me, don't argue with me later!"

"Hahaha..." Zhuge Tao and Liu Dong both burst into laughter: "We've known each other for so many years, how could we not trust you?"

Just kidding, how could we not compete with such a genius?

After laughing, Zhuge Tao solemnly said, "If this person truly hasn't taken any treasures to enhance his physical abilities, he could probably enter the God of War Training Camp!"

"The War God Training Camp?" Hou Zhen and the others were somewhat surprised.

"Excellent!" Wang Heng of Thunder Martial Arts School echoed, "If this person truly increased his strength by nearly eight thousand kilograms through cultivating genetic energy, his talent must be terrifying. Coupled with his specialized marksmanship, entering the War God Training Camp shouldn't be difficult for him!"

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Just then, Yang Wu followed the officer leading the team outside the room.

"Report!"

I'm starting to test the waters with this post today, so please keep reading and give me all kinds of support. If I advance to the next level next week, I'll add two extra chapters next weekend.
