Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 56 Movements from All Sides

After Fang Qing left, all the remaining War God-level experts looked at Yang Wu.

"Thank you all for your help. If it weren't for your timely appearance, I would never have been able to drive away War God Fang Qing so easily!" Yang Wu said hurriedly.

"It's nothing, War God Yang Wu, don't worry about it!"

"War God Yang Wu is far too kind. Even without us, Fang Qing would still be your defeated foe!"

……

After a round of compliments, Deng Tong, the "Poison Demon Spear," stepped forward. Among these war gods, he was the strongest.

"Yang Wu, God of War, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Deng Tong."

"War God Deng Tong!" Yang Wu called out with a hint of respect. He had actually met "Poison Demon Spear" Deng Tong before; Zhou Zheng had introduced this extremely famous war god to Yang Wu at the Southeast Military Region's martial arts supply base.

Feeling Yang Wu's goodwill, Deng Tong was very happy and quickly said to Yang Wu, "Let me introduce you. This is War God Lu Gang. You already know him, this is War God Zhuge Shan, and this is..."

"Greetings, War God Yang Wu!"

"Zhuge Mountain War God, Senior Zhuge Tao once helped me a lot, so you don't need to be so polite."

……

Every time Deng Tong introduced a war god, Yang Wu would greet that war god.

Moreover, Yang Wu had memorized many brief introductions of war gods. Although he couldn't recognize them directly, he could accurately say some things about them after hearing their names, making them feel that Yang Wu valued them.

After the introductions, Yang Wu's relationship with the others became even more harmonious.

After introducing everyone, Deng Tong, the "Poison Demon Spear," smiled slightly at Yang Wu and suddenly asked, "War God Yang Wu, forgive my impertinence, but with your strength, hunting down low-level lord-level monsters and passing the War God Palace's assessment would be a piece of cake. Why haven't you joined the War God Palace?"

The other war gods also looked at Yang Wu seriously.

The War God Palace is an organization comprised of all War God-level powerhouses and those surpassing War God level from the world's five strongest nations and major base cities. Every martial artist in the world considers it an honor to join the War God Palace.

Therefore, everyone was quite surprised to learn that he already possessed the strength of a mid-level War God but had not yet joined the War God Palace.

What they didn't know was that Yang Wu had been promoted from a junior general to his current strength in one go, so he hadn't had time to join the War God Palace yet.

"I came to the wilderness this time to hunt lord-level monsters!" Yang Wu replied helplessly, "But I didn't expect that our team would be attacked by War God Fang Qing while we were on our way."

"I see!" Everyone suddenly realized.

"Since your squad has been attacked, why don't you go back to the base city to rest and recuperate?" Deng Tong suggested.

Then, Deng Tong took out some monster materials from his backpack and said to Yang Wu, "Coincidentally, I hunted a low-level lord-level silver lightning python in the wilderness this time. Since this is our first meeting, War God Yang Wu, I'm giving it to you to help you pass the test. It's just a small token, please don't refuse!"

"How can that be?" Yang Wu quickly refused.

The HR Alliance offered between 5 million and 30 billion for a low-level lord-class monster, while the materials from the silver electric python that Deng Tong retrieved were also quite good for a low-level lord-class monster, with a selling price of around 15 billion.

As a mid-level War God, Deng Tong's gift wasn't particularly valuable, but Yang Wu was unwilling to accept it.

"Does War God Yang Wu look down on my gift?" Deng Tong asked rhetorically.

With Yang Wu's talent being so terrifying, Deng Tong was worried about how to get closer to him, so how could he let Yang Wu refuse?

"This..." Yang Wu didn't know what to say.

"War God Yang Wu and War God Deng Tong mean well, so please accept it!" Zhuge Shan, who was standing to the side, also advised.

Yang Wu hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing, "Then I will accept your offer without hesitation. Thank you for your kindness, War God Deng Tong!"

Seeing that Yang Wu had accepted Deng Tong's gift, Zhuge Shan immediately took out some monster materials from his backpack and then said with a smile, "War God Yang Wu, to verify your strength, you need materials from two Lord-level monsters. War God Deng Tong took out one, and you can give me the other one."

This is a low-level lord-level tiger-cat that I hunted. Although it's not as good as the Silver Lightning Python that War God Deng Tong gave me, it's enough to prove my strength. I hope War God Yang Wu won't refuse!

The materials from the Lord-level Tiger Cat that Zhuge Shan brought out, although not as good as the Silver Electric Python given by Deng Tong, could still fetch 12 billion Chinese Yuan if sold to the HR Alliance.

Yang Wu had already accepted the materials for the Silver Electric Python from Deng Tong, so he naturally couldn't refuse Zhuge Shan's kindness.

Left with no other choice, Yang Wu had to accept it.

"I, Yang, am very grateful for the kindness of War God Zhuge!"

Seeing this, the other war gods also offered their gifts, mostly monster materials, and one war god even wanted to transfer money to Yang Wu...

But Yang Wu was no longer willing to accept gifts. His previous excuse had been difficult to refuse, but now…

"I appreciate your kindness, seniors. However, I absolutely cannot accept any more gifts. Please, seniors, do not make things difficult for me!"

Hearing this, everyone stopped talking, and then they secretly envied Deng Tong and Zhuge Shan for acting so quickly.

While Yang Wu was chatting with several war gods, news that Yang Wu had unleashed strength approaching that of a high-level war god was also spreading among the high-ranking members of various forces.

……

Kyoto base city, main urban area.

The headquarters of the Chinese military, in a spacious, quiet room on the sixth floor of one of the most expansive buildings.

An officer is reporting to a resolute and upright middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was named Deng Long, and he was a planetary-level being from the Huaxia Kingdom.

"Sir, news has come from Jiangnan Base City that a 24-year-old genius martial artist has emerged there. He now possesses strength approaching that of a high-level War God and completely suppressed Fang Qing, who wields the Black God Set and wields the 'Demon-Drinking Blade,' in the wilderness. Here's the video!"

As Deng Long watched the video, the officer continued to report: "This person is named Yang Wu. He is from Yangzhou City in the Jiangnan Base. He became a prospective martial artist in July of this year. During the practical assessment in August, he signed a special training contract with the Limit Martial Arts Academy and now lives in the Mingyue Community of the Limit Martial Arts Academy."

"What a pity!" Deng Long couldn't help but say after watching the video. "Such a genius, and he's from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy!"

"Wait, you mean he joined the Extreme Martial Arts Academy this year? And he only signed a top-tier training contract?"

"Haha, looks like we still have a chance!"

Deng Long was very happy after listening to the officer's report.

Once a genius martial artist appears in the world, he will be sought after by countries and organizations around the world. Yang Wu has only signed a special training contract with the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, and the penalty for breach of contract cannot exceed 300 million.

If China shows sincerity, there is still a good chance of recruiting Yang Wu.

"Print out the contract immediately, according to the highest standards for recruiting War God-level martial artists! This time I want to personally meet this genius!" Deng Long hurriedly ordered.

"With Representative Deng personally in charge, this time it's sure to be foolproof!" an officer remarked.

……

The virtual space of the War God Palace.

Inside a large conference hall, the floor and walls were silver, and even the enormous round table was silver! Only the six chairs were pure black, a blackness that seemed capable of swallowing everything.

Five of the chairs were occupied by five people in white robes.

The ceiling of the conference hall was an endless starry sky, seemingly without end.

Five people in white robes: three Chinese, one white, and one black.

"Everyone, this is Yang Wu's information!"

"This person just passed the quasi-martial artist assessment in July of this year. In the practical assessment in Jiangnan Base City in August, he displayed the strength of a junior general. Later, because he possessed a professional-level spear technique, he was invited to join my Extreme Martial Arts Academy by Zhuge Tao, a manager of my Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

Just now, this person, with the physical attributes of a beginner-level War God, unleashed strength approaching that of a high-level War God in the wilderness, completely suppressing Fang Qing, who possessed the Black God Set and wielded the 'Demon-Drinking Blade'. Even in the current elite training camp, no student could achieve such strength! Here's the video.

The five men quickly reviewed the information, and one of them, a Chinese man, said, "Inspector Wang, I strongly agree with summoning Yang Wu, but the treatment you've given him..."

"Inspector Liu, I believe the treatment I offered was not high enough."

"No, no, Inspector Wang, you misunderstand! I just think the offer you're giving is too low. Yang Wu's contract with my Extreme Martial Arts Academy is extremely ordinary, and he's only been here a short time, so he can't possibly have much of a sense of belonging. I don't think such conditions can possibly sway him," Liu He said.

"this……"

The five men in white robes continued to discuss amongst themselves.

"Five inspectors!" an electronic voice announced.

Quiet.

The five men in white robes simultaneously looked up at the sky. Five documents floated down from the starry heavens above the conference hall, landing directly in front of the five inspectors. The electronic voice continued, "This is the Master's decision regarding the Yang Wu issue. If you have any objections, please report them to the Master. If you have no objections, please execute this decision."

"Any objections?" the electronic voice asked.

No. No. No. No. No.

The five inspectors glanced through the document briefly and responded quickly in succession.
