Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 25: The Destruction of the World

After Yang Wu joined the team, the Phantom Squad celebrated by having a big meal at the restaurant at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy headquarters.

After finishing their meal, Chu Tian led Lu Yuan and the others to a lounge to chat.

"Yang Wu!" Chu Tian asked with a smile, "Our team is scheduled to head to the wilderness to hunt monsters in ten days. Have you got all your weapons and equipment yet?"

"Not yet!" Yang Wu replied helplessly. "Captain, I want to buy a better set of weapons and equipment, but I just became a martial artist and don't have any contribution points yet. Buying it all at once is too expensive. I was just about to ask Uncle Wu for help, but I didn't expect him to lead me here!"

"That's easy!" Zhou Zheng patted Yang Wu on the shoulder and said with a smile, "My contribution points have reached three-star level now. Just give me the list of the equipment you need, and I can buy it for you at half price. You can pay me back later! However, you'll have to buy the manual yourself; no one can help you with that!"

"I understand, thank you, Brother Zhou!"

Yang Wu nodded.

In the future, it would be a bit inappropriate for everyone in the same team to call each other "uncle" and "brother," so Yang Wu changed how he addressed Zhou Zheng, and no one paid any attention to it.

Yang Wu had already selected the relevant equipment, and now he sent it to Zhou Zheng directly via his mobile phone.

The standardized 6-series equipment, including a full combat suit costing 8000 million (half price: 4000 million), and a Po Jun series long spear (A6 grade, full price 2000 million, half price: 1000 million), had already exhausted all the start-up funds allocated to Yang Wu by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy. Fortunately, Yang Wu had some savings, and small tools like backpacks and communication watches were reasonably priced, so he could purchase them as well.

The group was slightly surprised after seeing Yang Wu's purchase list.

They were clearly unaware that Zhuge Tao had increased Yang Wu's start-up capital.

"I never imagined Yang Wu was such a wealthy man!" Zheng Tao said with a smile.

In reality, 5000 million Chinese yuan was insignificant to the members of the Phantom Squad. However, for Yang Wu, a newcomer who had just become a martial artist, it was a huge sum of money. Even though Yang Wu possessed the strength of a warrior general, he had never hunted a monster before, so naturally he had no monster materials to sell.

"Alright!" Seeing that everything was arranged, Chu Tian smiled at Yang Wu and said, "Yang Wu, after the equipment arrives, you should familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible and try to get it working properly before entering the wilderness area!"

"Captain, I understand!" Yang Wu nodded slightly.

Martial artists usually use the most suitable equipment. When they change to new equipment, they inevitably need to get used to it for a period of time because of the difference in weight and material.

The group chatted for a while longer until 2 p.m., when Yang Wu and Wu Tong finally returned to Yangzhou.

……

In the martial arts training hall on the second floor of Villa No. 201 in Mingyue Residential Area.

Yang Wu sat cross-legged on the ground, with a thick manual in front of him, which was the first level of the ultimate spear technique, "World Destruction".

Upon opening the first page of the "World Destruction" spear technique, Yang Wu immediately saw a spear light coming straight at him, its chilling aura annihilating all things and sending shivers down his spine.

"So powerful!" Yang Wu exclaimed inwardly.

The mere sight of a copy of the handwriting was enough to terrify even a warrior of the general level. Hong truly lived up to his reputation as the world's number one expert who had comprehended the domain.

After his initial shock subsided, Yang Wu continued reading.

"The fundamental essence of the 'World Destruction' spear technique that I created lies in the two words: stillness and movement."

As the old saying goes, "Still as a virgin, swift as a rabbit."

"Silence is for a better explosion; when we move, we go all out. One shot, and the world trembles; nothing is indestructible."

After reading the first page, Yang Wu turned to the second page and continued reading.

"Calming down allows you to use stillness to control movement, better observe the enemy's weaknesses, and find their vulnerabilities."

"Once you move, it will be a full-force attack, leaving the enemy completely defenseless."

"The 'World Destruction' spear technique I created incorporates a unique domain found nowhere else in the world. Once you grasp its essence, you will be invincible among those of the same level!"

"The 'World Destruction' manual contains a complete set of movement techniques called 'Shadow,' a complete set of top-tier guiding techniques called 'Seven Stars of Radiance,' and a complete set of spear techniques called 'World Destruction.'"

"Guiding techniques can give you a stronger physique, better marksmanship and movement skills, and allow you to acquire more advanced techniques."

"Only through constant practice and possessing astonishing comprehension can one grasp the true essence of the 'World Destruction' spear technique."

Although the manual contains a lot of information, Yang Wu has already achieved some success in spear techniques and movement skills. Since most of the guiding techniques are used in conjunction with cultivating genetic energy, Yang Wu places more emphasis on the power generation techniques in the "World Destruction" spear technique.

Yang Wu quickly flipped to the section on exerting force recorded in the manual.

……

After reading the power exertion techniques recorded in the first level of the manual, Yang Wu finally understood the difference between top-tier manuals and ordinary manuals.

Perhaps this book, "The Destruction of the World," is nothing special in the vast universe.

However, compared to the "Blazing Spear Technique" that Yang Wu learned in the simulator, "World Destruction" can be described as extremely exquisite.

Once mastered, the first level of "World Destruction" alone grants one twice the power exertion skills.

The second level allows you to exert three times the power.

……

The fifth level is six times the power.

As for the sixth level of the manual, it doesn't improve the technique of exerting force.

It is said that only Hong is capable of mastering the sixth level of the "World Destruction Technique".

"Perhaps the sixth level involves the secrets of the domain!" Yang Wu thought to himself.

In "The Annihilation of the World," Hong has clearly stated that his own domain is incorporated into it. The reason why the sixth level of the "The Annihilation of the World" spear technique is difficult to master is most likely due to the domain.

"Never mind, the realm is still quite far away from me. I'd better master the first level of power generation techniques first."

In the training hall, Yang Wu used his arm as a spear, constantly swinging and thrusting, continuously practicing the spear techniques from the first level of "World Destruction".

The first level of "World Destruction" contains thirteen spear techniques. According to the manual, these thirteen spear techniques are helpful in understanding the power generation techniques in the first level of "World Destruction".

Yang Wu was so engrossed in his practice that he completely forgot about the time until his mother, Liu Yuhua, called him for dinner, at which point he snapped back to reality.

After putting the manual back in his bedroom, Yang Wu went downstairs. He saw his parents already sitting at the table, but he didn't see his younger brother, Yang Fan.

"Dad, Mom, where's Xiaofan?" Yang Wu asked疑惑地问道, "It's almost dinnertime, why hasn't he come back yet?"

It's still summer vacation, so students don't have to go to school. Yang Fan usually stays at home doing homework or practicing cultivation.

"Xiao Fan went to his classmate's house. He just called and won't be back until later," said his father, Yang Yuande.

"Never mind him, let's eat first!" Liu Yuhua stood up and served Yang Wu a bowl of rice.
