Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 23 Chu Tian

"Uncle Wu, has the Phantom Squad really hunted down Lord-level monsters?"

On the train to the main city, Yang Wu asked curiously.

This is by no means because Yang Wu is inexperienced; it is simply because this achievement is extremely rare.

In terms of experience, Yang Wu, who was familiar with the original work, had quite a bit of knowledge. He didn't care at all about the God of War on Earth or those who surpassed the God of War level; they were just low-level apprentices and planetary-level martial artists.

However, the vitality of lord-level monsters is much stronger than that of war god-level beings. If humans did not possess combat suits and various weapons and equipment, it is likely that warriors of the same level would not be able to defeat the monsters at all.

Moreover, there is a huge difference in strength between warrior-level martial artists and lord-level monsters. If the Phantom Squad has really hunted lord-level monsters, then each member of the squad is probably an elite warrior-level martial artist. If I join them, I can grow up faster!

"I'm not entirely sure either, but this news should be true!" Wu Tong said with a smile.

When the Phantom Squad hunted the Lord-level monster, Wu Tong had already been away from the team for a long time. Although Wu Tong had a good relationship with the main members of the Phantom Squad, the shrewd Wu Tong wouldn't specifically ask such a question.

However, Wu Tong had also learned some information through other channels, which is why he spoke to Yang Wu uncertainly.

……

Half an hour later, the train arrived at the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan Base City.

The two stepped off the train and walked along the exclusive passage for martial artists. Looking at the bustling crowd, Yang Wu was filled with emotion.

The main urban area was far more prosperous than Yangzhou city, and Yang Wu's biggest impression of it was its spaciousness. Even the busiest streets in Yangzhou city were not as wide as the roads around the current train station.

Yang Wu and his companion had only walked a few steps when they saw a tall, burly man standing in front of them.

"Haha, Lao Wu, long time no see! How have you been? How have you been lately?"

The burly man greeted Wu Tong warmly as soon as he saw him, embracing him with great joy.

"The same old way, stay in the martial arts school and teach! Unlike you, Zhou Zheng, who wreaks havoc in the wilderness and makes hundreds of millions of Chinese yuan every time you go out!" Wu Tong's face was also full of smiles.

Upon hearing Wu Tong's words, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but recall the scene when Wu Tong retired, and his nose felt slightly sore.

However, Zhou Zheng quickly composed himself and said with a smile, "I envy you! We risk our lives in the wilderness every day, while you have it so easy in the base city. If I ever retire, I'll come and join you, Old Wu. Don't kick me out then!"

"Hehe!" Wu Tong chuckled and said, "You're even coming to me for help? If you retire, you could probably compete for a managerial position! At that time, you'll have to look out for me!"

"Supervisor? I'm far from that level!" Zhou Zheng shook his head and said.

To become the manager of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy, one must possess at least the strength of a high-level warrior and have the support of numerous powerful warriors. While Zhou Zheng's strength is sufficient, his network of connections is far from enough to qualify him for the managerial position.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore!" Zhou Zheng waved his hand, his gaze falling on Yang Wu, and asked with a smile, "This young man, is this the Yang Wu you wanted to recommend to the team?"

"Yes!" Wu Tong nodded and said, "This is Yang Wu, whom I recommended to the captain today! Don't let his youth fool you; his strength is probably even higher than mine!"

"What?" Zhou Zheng exclaimed in surprise, "Old Wu, are you serious?"

When Zhou Zheng arrived, the captain only told him that the Phantom Squad was going to assess a newcomer with the strength of a junior general, introduced by Wu Tong, and asked him to come and meet him.

Zhou Zheng initially thought Wu Tong was just a newcomer with better physical abilities, but to his surprise, Wu Tong said that he was no match for him.

It should be noted that although Wu Tong's physical attributes are only at the initial level of a warrior general, he has decades of combat experience. In a real fight, he would probably be unable to withstand an ordinary initial level warrior general, let alone gain the upper hand.

"Of course it's true, would I lie to you?" Wu Tong said irritably, then turned to Yang Wu and said, "Yang Wu, this is Zhou Zheng, my sworn brother from the Phantom Squad!"

"Hello, Uncle Zhou!"

Yang Wu greeted him with a smile.

"Okay!" Zhou Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Now that you're all here, let's go see the captain together!"

The three then boarded a heavy-duty off-road vehicle and headed to the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's headquarters in Jiangnan Base City, the Extreme Building.

The off-road vehicle was very fast, and in no time, the three of them arrived at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

After showing their identification, the three of them went to a spacious training hall on the second floor of the Extreme Building.

Yang Wu followed Wu Tong and Zhou Zheng into the training hall, where he found two people sparring.

One was a young man in his early twenties, wielding a sword and a shield, the blade of which was extremely sharp; the other was a middle-aged man in his forties, wielding two golden hammers, one large and one small, their imposing presence astonishing.

"Hey, Lao Zheng, Xiao Wang, stop practicing, they're here!"

Zhou Zheng shouted, and the two people who were sparring in the center of the hall immediately stopped.

"Brother Wu!" The middle-aged man put his double hammers aside and flashed to Yang Wu and the others.

Another young man seemed unfamiliar with Wu Tong. After glancing at Yang Wu and the others, he quietly walked to the sofa to the side.

"Haha, Zheng Tao, long time no see!" Wu Tong walked over with a smile, and shook hands firmly with the other person.

"Brother Wu, is this the newcomer you introduced?" Zheng Tao smiled and walked towards Yang Wu, saying gently, "Hello, I'm Zheng Tao!"

Then Zheng Tao pointed to the young man who was already sitting on the sofa and said, "That's Wang Zhi. Don't mind him, he's just a guy who seems cold on the outside but is warm on the inside!"

After listening to Zheng Tao's introduction, Yang Wu immediately recalled the information he had reviewed.

"Blood Blade" Wang Zhi and "Heart-Shattering Hammer" Zheng Tao are both renowned mid-level warriors in Jiangnan Base City. Wang Zhi was even a genius who was specially recruited by the Limit Martial Arts Academy ahead of schedule.

"Where's the captain? Why can't I see him?" Wu Tong looked around but didn't see Captain Chu Tian, ​​and asked with some confusion.

"The captain just went out with Xiaoqing. Xiao Wang has already notified him, and he should be here soon!" Zheng Tao replied.

"Let's not stand here, let's sit down and rest!" Zhou Zheng said, leading Yang Wu and the others to sit down on the sofa.

The training hall was fully equipped. Zhou Zheng took a few bottles of drinks from a machine and tossed them to Yang Wu and the others, saying, "Brothers, have some water first!"

Just then, two people walked into the training hall. One of them had silver hair and wore a black robe, and his eyes seemed to hold countless stars floating in them.

The other person was dressed in a black bodysuit, with bright eyes and white teeth; she was actually a valiant female warrior.

Upon seeing the two appear, Yang Wu immediately recalled the information he had seen about them before.

Chu Tian, ​​the "Phantom Sword," and Lu Qing, the "Shadowless Arrow."

Chu Tian is the captain of the Phantom Squad. He is a high-level warrior with great fame. If he were to retire, he would probably immediately become a powerful figure in the region. Lu Qing is the only warrior in the squad who uses firearms. Of course, she can also use melee weapons. Her archery skills are superb and never miss.
