Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 21 Phantom Squad

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Yang Wu had just seen off his eldest sister Yang Yun and her family when he received a call from an unknown number. It turned out that the secret manual he had bought at Extreme Home had been delivered.

"Mr. Yang Wu, this is the secret manual you purchased from the Extreme House. You can open it using your fingerprint."

In a charming garden within the Mingyue residential complex, a delivery man handed Yang Wu a sealed alloy box.

Yang Wu ran his finger over the sensor on the box.

With a "beep", the alloy box opened smoothly, revealing a book about half a centimeter thick, and on the book were several CDs.

"Mr. Yang Wu, after you have confirmed that everything is correct, please sign here!" The delivery man handed over a professional delivery note with a smile on his face.

Yang Wu took the delivery note, confirmed that the information was correct, and then signed his name.

"Mr. Yang Wu, I believe you are already aware of some taboos associated with purchasing the secret manual."

The delivery man smiled and said, "However, according to the rules, I must also tell you again... The copyright of the manual belongs to its creator. The creator of 'World Destruction' is the world's strongest person, 'Hong.' The purchaser only has the right to learn it, not the right to pass it on. It is absolutely forbidden to copy and teach the manual privately. If discovered, you will be jointly hunted down by the two major martial arts schools, the HR Alliance, and the five major powers!"

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile.

If it weren't for this reason, he could have first practiced the "Blazing Spear Technique" that he obtained in the simulator.

After everything was settled, Yang Wu returned home with the manual. Just as he was about to open it and try to practice, he suddenly received a call from Wu Tong, the chief instructor of Yangzhou City.

Wu Tong was also in Mingyue Residential Area at the time. He called because he wanted to talk to Yang Wu about something.

Yang Wu, of course, gladly went.

A few minutes later, Yang Wu entered the Extreme Club. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Wu Tong, who was already waiting there.

"Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu greeted him with a smile.

"Yang Wu!" Wu Tong greeted him with a smile and led Yang Wu to a meeting room on the second floor of the Extreme Club.

After they were seated, Wu Tong asked with a smile, "Yang Wu, I heard that Supervisor Zhuge planned to send you to the Global Martial Arts Basic Training Camp, but you declined?"

"Yes, Uncle Wu, what's wrong?" Yang Wu asked with a smile.

Previously, Zhuge's assistant did call Yang Wu to ask if he was interested in going to the Global Martial Arts Basic Training Camp, but Yang Wu declined.

The basic training camp wasn't particularly helpful for Yang Wu, who had access to the simulator.

"Yang Wu, as instructed by Supervisor Zhuge, you are to be assigned to a relatively powerful martial arts team. I wonder if there is a martial arts team you would like to join?" Wu Tong asked with a smile.

If he were an ordinary genius, Wu Tong could directly contact a team of warriors at the general level, because for newcomers, no matter how talented they are, they will always be a burden in the team at the beginning.

But Yang Wu is different!

Wu Tong now knows Yang Wu's full strength from Zhuge Tao: his physical attributes are at the initial level of a warrior general, and his spear skills are at the expert level. Strictly speaking, Yang Wu's strength is even slightly greater than Wu Tong's. Therefore, the martial arts team he finds must also be stronger.

Given Yang Wu's current strength, Wu Tong would definitely need to discuss it with him beforehand, otherwise he might end up doing more harm than good.

"Not yet!" Yang Wu shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu, most of the friends I know, even those who are martial artists, are only warrior-level martial artists who have just passed the quasi-martial artist assessment a few years ago. Their strength is a bit too low for me. Our Limit Martial Arts Academy only has you, Uncle Wu, Uncle Kong, and Brother Chen as general-level martial artists in Yangzhou City. I was just about to ask you for help!"

Actually, Yang Wu originally planned to try joining the Fire Hammer Squad with Luo Feng, but later gave up on the idea.

Firstly, the strength of the Fire Hammer Squad was already somewhat low for Yang Wu. Even the captain of the Fire Hammer Squad, Gao Feng, was only about the same strength as Yang Wu.

Secondly, Luo Feng went to the elite training camp not long after joining the Fire Hammer Squad, at which point the Fire Hammer Squad would face the risk of disbanding.

Therefore, Yang Wu changed his mind and decided to find a stronger martial arts team to join.

"So, Yang Wu, what kind of martial arts team do you plan to join?" Wu Tong asked with a smile.

"The stronger the better, of course!" Yang Wu said with a smile. "Uncle Wu, you know my strength. If you know any martial arts teams, could you introduce me to one?"

After listening to Yang Wu's words, Wu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Yang Wu, I was originally going to help you contact Kong Quan's Flying Eagle Squad. The Flying Eagle Squad has three warrior-level martial artists and is quite famous in the entire Jiangnan Base City. But since you plan to join a powerful martial artist squad, I have a better squad to recommend to you, but I don't know if you can join it."

"Uncle Wu, is that what you mean?" Yang Wu asked expectantly.

"Phantom Squad!" Wu Tong said with a complicated expression.

"The Phantom Squad?" Yang Wu asked, puzzled. He had just become a martial artist and didn't know much about the martial artist squads in Jiangnan Base City. Even the Fire Hammer Squad was only familiar to him because of the original story.

"Yang Wu!" Wu Tong said with a hint of regret, "The Phantom Squad's strength is enough to rank among the top three even in the entire Jiangnan Base City! I can try to contact them for you and give you a chance to join; it all depends on whether you can seize the opportunity!"

"Ranked among the top three in the entire Jiangnan base city?" Yang Wu was somewhat tempted. Joining such a martial arts team would definitely be a great help in improving his strength.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu said, while logging into the Limitless Home website to search for information about the Phantom Squad.

You wouldn't believe it until you looked it up, and what you found was quite shocking.

This Phantom Squad is one of the top elite squads at the Warrior General level in Jiangnan Base City. The team consists of five members, all of whom are Warrior General level warriors. Two are high-level Warrior Generals, and three are mid-level Warrior Generals.

That's a high-ranking general!

Keep in mind that even Zhuge Tao, the manager of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy in Jiangnan Base City, is only at the level of a high-ranking general. How terrifying is it that a martial arts squad has two managers-level experts?

"How was it?" Wu Tong asked with a smile. "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong with you...?"

Logically speaking, given Wu Tong's strength, it's highly unlikely that he would have any dealings with the Phantom Squad, let alone give Yang Wu a chance to join the Martial Artist Squad.

"Haha... I know what you're going to say!" Wu Tong laughed, his expression a mixture of pride and disappointment.

"Your Uncle Wu was once a member of the Phantom Squad!"
