Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Joining Chapter 57

After refusing the gifts from several war gods, Yang Wu greeted the surrounding martial arts teams and then prepared to bid farewell to everyone and return to the base city with the Phantom Squad to rest.

Several warrior squads at the general level naturally dared not stop Yang Wu, while the other war god level experts, although they wanted to help their respective forces recruit Yang Wu, did not know the conditions their forces could offer, so they could only give up for the time being.

Moreover, everyone has their own things to do, so it's highly unlikely that they will return to the base city with Yang Wu.

"War God Yang Wu, since your team plans to return to the base city, why don't you ride back with me in my fighter jet?" Lu Gang invited.

He came here to rescue his daughter, Lu Qing. Now that the matter has been resolved, Lu Gang naturally won't linger in the wilderness.

Moreover, Yang Wu has just unleashed strength that is almost that of a high-level war god, and the military high command is probably already thinking about how to win him over. As a member of the military, Lu Gang naturally wants to find a way to keep Yang Wu.

"In that case, we'll have to trouble War God Lu Gang!" Yang Wu said gratefully.

Although Yang Wu was fighting Fang Qing, he overheard the conversation between Lu Gang and Lu Qing and learned that Lu Gang was Lu Qing's father.

Since Lu Gang was one of their own, Yang Wu naturally wouldn't refuse his kindness.

But when Yang Wu agreed, Deng Tong and Zhuge Shan, who were standing nearby, were taken aback.

The two men belonged to the Limitless Martial Arts Academy and the Thunder Martial Arts Academy respectively, and were considered high-ranking members. They were naturally aware of the methods used by various forces to recruit geniuses. If Lu Gang were to take Yang Wu away alone today, Yang Wu would probably become a member of the Chinese military.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly reached an understanding.

"War God Lu Gang!" Deng Tong said with a smile, "I was just planning to return to the base city. I wonder if I could hitch a ride?"

"Old Lu!" Zhuge Shan said at the same time, "I was also planning to go back to the base city. Why don't you take us with you? It'll be safer that way!"

The fighter jet that Lu Gang borrowed was a very ordinary one, costing around 100 billion. It could only fly short distances around the base city, and would be destroyed immediately if attacked by a Lord-level monster. Therefore, Zhuge Shan's statement was not wrong.

Upon hearing Deng Tong and Zhuge Shan's words, Lu Gang immediately understood what the two were up to. However, he and Deng Tong had some connection; otherwise, they wouldn't have come to his aid. Therefore, it was indeed difficult for him to refuse.

Therefore, Lu Gang could only say, "In that case, let's all return to the base city together!"

Subsequently, Yang Wu and the other four War Gods, along with the rest of the Phantom Squad, boarded the fighter jet that Lu Gang was riding in, preparing to return to the base city.

This time, the rescue wasn't as urgent as when they arrived, so the fighter jets were a bit slower than when Lu Gang came.

Half an hour later, the fighter jet carrying Yang Wu and his team arrived near the Jiangnan Base City.

Just then, a black dot suddenly appeared in the southern sky. Then, a streak of purplish-red light streaked across the sky, quickly slowed down, and stopped in front of the fighter jet carrying Yang Wu and the others. It turned out to be a triangular purplish-red fighter jet.

Zhuge Shan, who was next to Yang Wu, stared at it carefully for a moment and smiled, "It's a fighter jet from headquarters."

He had just received a message from an inspector at the Limit Martial Arts Academy, inquiring about Yang Wu's whereabouts.

Only a few minutes later, the inspector appeared before them.

"Whoosh!" The hatch opened automatically.

A figure flew out from it, and the triangular fighter jet automatically closed its hatch, leaving the figure suspended in mid-air.

"My esteemed war gods, please come out and meet us!"

A figure flew from mid-air to the fighter jet carrying Yang Wu and the others; it turned out to be a middle-aged man with flowing long hair.

"It's Representative Yoo!"

Apart from Yang Wu, the other war gods immediately recognized the newcomers and then quickly landed their fighter jets, stopping them in the middle of an abandoned highway.

"Councilor Liu!" Deng Tong and the others quickly stepped out of the fighter jet and greeted him respectfully.

Seeing this, Yang Wu also bowed and greeted them, just like the others.

A member of parliament who can fly must undoubtedly be a planetary-level being.

"Could this person have come for me?" Yang Wu suddenly wondered to himself.

This was by no means Yang Wu being presumptuous; he simply couldn't think of any other reason that would make a planetary-level being rush over in the middle of the night.

"You must be Yang Wu?"

Liu He recognized the other three war gods, so he smiled directly at Yang Wu and said, "Haha, Yang Wu, I came here specifically for you!"

Without waiting for Yang Wu's reply, Liu He continued, "I know you have a lot of questions. Let's go, let's talk about it in the fighter jet!"

Liu He knew all too well how fiercely powerful forces competed for geniuses. Now that he had the upper hand, he naturally wanted to take Yang Wu away first.

As Liu He ordered his fighter jet to descend slowly, he said to Zhuge Shan and the others beside him, "The three of you, I'll take Yang Wu with me first. You're free to do as you please!"

"Yes!" Zhuge Shan replied quickly.

However, Lu Gang and Deng Tong, who were standing to the side, were unwilling to accept this.

"Congressman Liu!"

"Inspector Liu!"

The two of them quickly shouted. Although they didn't dare to directly refute Liu He, they were willing to stall for time.

"What? Do you two have a problem with what I said?" Liu He asked in an unfriendly tone.

Every second of delay could allow powerful figures from other factions to arrive, so Liu He naturally had to act swiftly and decisively.

Deng Tong and Lu Gang were under immense pressure from Liu He and were on the verge of giving up.

Just then, two more streaks of light appeared in the distance, which turned out to be two saucer-shaped fighter jets with completely black bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the dark, saucer-shaped fighter jet arrived in the sky above Yang Wu and the others.

"Congressman Liu, you're really fast!"

Two fighter jets flew in from a distance, and before they had even come to a complete stop, two figures flew out of each jet.

One was a resolute and upright middle-aged soldier, Deng Long, a planetary-level expert in the Chinese military; the other was a burly white man, the inspector of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy, and Congressman Weiss.

"You two aren't slow either!"

After saying that, Liu He glared at Deng Tong and Lu Gang unhappily. If it weren't for these two, Yang Wu would already be flying to Hongning Base City in his fighter jet. Did China and Thunder Martial Arts School dare to ask the school owner for his life?

"Haha, Councilor Liu, why get angry at these war gods?" Deng Long and Weiss said with a laugh.

Although Weiss is white, he speaks Mandarin very well.

"Sir!"

"Inspector!"

Lu Gang and Deng Tong hurriedly went to greet them.

After a short while, following discussions among the three powerful councilors, everyone decided to return to the base city first and discuss other matters later.

Under the watchful eyes of Zhuge Shan and the others, Yang Wu boarded Liu He's flying fighter jet along with the three planetary-level beings. The jet then quickly took off, transforming into a streak of purplish-red light and disappearing into the distant horizon. The other two flying saucer-shaped fighter jets followed far behind.

The three War Gods, including Deng Tong, had very complicated expressions. Although they had long anticipated Yang Wu's genius, they did not expect that Yang Wu could alarm three beings who were beyond the War God level to come here.

Those are beings capable of engaging in equal dialogue with a nation; there are only about fifty such individuals worldwide combined, and yet three of them appeared at once!

The purple-blue triangular fighter jet transformed into a streak of light and quickly flew over the Jiangnan base city before slowly descending.

The cabin door opened automatically, and Yang Wu and the others disembarked from the fighter jet.

The fighter jets landed on the rooftop of the Extreme Club in Jiangnan Base City.

"A mere trifle!" Deng Long muttered.

Liu He paused for a moment before leading the three people into a quiet conference room.

The four people sat down, and Yang Wu looked at the three planetary-level beings in front of him.

After Liu He and the other two sat down, although they were polite to each other, there was an underlying competitive spirit among them.

"Yang Wu!" Deng Long glanced at the other two and spoke first, "Our country, China, needs talents like you. Would you be interested in joining the military?"

After speaking, Deng Long took out a contract and handed it to Yang Wu. He believed that the military's terms would definitely appeal to the other party.

Seeing this, Representative Weiss quickly took out a contract and handed it to Yang Wu, saying, "Yang Wu, these are the terms offered to you by our Thunder Martial Arts School. We hope you will join us!"

Liu He calmly observed Deng Long and Yang Wu, and only after they had finished speaking did he say, "Yang Wu, your talent is exceptional. At such a young age, you possess strength approaching that of a high-level War God, and your power output is also three times greater. I found your record of purchasing the manual; the timeframe was very short, indicating that your comprehension is also extremely high!"

"With such talent, if you become careless and arrogant, and ultimately fail to become someone who surpasses the level of a War God, then it would be too shameful!"

"This time, all three of our organizations have sent individuals surpassing the level of War God. Why? Because we all believe you should be able to become a powerhouse like us!"

"I estimate that the conditions in China and the Thunder Martial Arts Academy are very high, and the various resources they provide will probably allow you to easily cultivate to the level of a high-level War God."

"However, this contract I have here was personally drafted by the head of my Extreme Martial Arts Academy. You can take a look at it, and if you have no objections, please sign it!"

After saying that, Liu He confidently took out a contract from his pocket and handed it to Yang Wu.

Upon hearing the words "Master of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy," Deng Long and Wei Si suddenly became quite nervous.

Yang Wu took the three contracts and began to look at them.

"If we're just talking about benefits, the military's benefits far surpass those of the two martial arts schools! Even the Thunder Martial Arts School is considerably better than the Limitless Martial Arts School," Yang Wu thought to himself. "But the Limitless Martial Arts School's conditions are really hard to resist!"

"Upon joining my Ultimate Martial Arts School, Party B will immediately receive an SS-grade combat suit, a complete set of weapons, two portions of Dragon Blood worth 800 billion, three sets of manuals of any choice, and a set of the ancient civilization relic 'Black God'."

If the Limitless Martial Arts Academy only offered combat uniforms, dragon blood, and secret manuals, Yang Wu might have chosen to join the military or the Thunder Martial Arts Academy.

But Yang Wu found it hard to part with the Black God Set.

The Black God Suit can form a protective suit according to the user's will, and can even cover the entire body, including the mouth and nose.

Moreover, the Black God Set's defensive capabilities are also extremely impressive. Fang Qing, the "Drinking Demon Blade" who was previously completely overwhelmed by Yang Wu, was able to escape various dangers repeatedly thanks to the protection of the Black God Set.

……

After a moment, Yang Wu finally made his choice.

"You chose the Limitless Martial Arts School?" Councilor Weiss's eyes widened, and he said regretfully, "What a pity you didn't join our Thunder Martial Arts School."

"Your Thunder Martial Arts Academy never had much of a chance anyway," Liu He said with a smile, in a good mood. "Our Limit Martial Arts Academy has never considered you as competitors."

Weiss scoffed, "Look at you, so smug."

On the other side, Yang Wu returned the contract that Deng Long and the other man had handed him, and then, with Liu He's consent, handed over the contract for the Extreme Martial Arts Academy to them.

"This..." Deng Long and his companion exclaimed after reading the contract, "Limitless Martial Arts Academy is really going all out!"

They finally learned why Yang Wu chose the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

Black God Set!
