Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 12 Departure, Wilderness

The logistics staff at Extreme House were extremely efficient. By noon the next day, a group of people delivered a long wooden crate that was more than a meter tall and a silver suitcase to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang moved the two boxes into the underground martial arts training hall.

He first opened the long wooden box, inside which lay a cold, black spear that shimmered with starlight only at its tip.

In the corner of the wooden crate were a few palm-sized throwing knives, a full set of combat clothing, a combat backpack, a watch, and other equipment.

To purchase these items, Zhou Yang not only exhausted the 20 million yuan in start-up funds provided by the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, but also added an extra 10 million yuan in cash.

There's no way around it; the equipment used by martial artists is just too expensive!

就那一桿6系的星空长枪就足足需要2500万，一套5系作战服也是需要1800万，再加上6柄7系飞刀1800万以及其他一些杂七杂八的东西，全价总共需要近7000万！

If I hadn't borrowed my dad Zhou Yong's contribution points account, which allowed me to enjoy a 50% discount, I wouldn't have been able to afford so many things!

"call!"

He took a deep breath, put the wooden crate containing the equipment aside, and then carefully opened the other silver briefcase.

"Click!"

After fingerprint verification, the silver briefcase opened automatically, revealing a black book about the thickness of a finger.

Next to the books, there are also accompanying learning CDs.

"A secret manual worth a hundred million! I've never spent that much money in my two lifetimes combined!"

Zhou Yang rubbed his hands together with a sigh and carefully took out the thin black book.

Then I started to quietly flip through the pages.

"The spear is the king of weapons!"

"An ancient saying goes: 'A spear can only be used to draw a line.' The ultimate concentration and explosive power are the greatest characteristics of a spear weapon."

"This book I created, 'World Destruction,' is now the most powerful weapon on Earth!"

"The 'World Destruction' technique is divided into six levels. After mastering each level, an additional layer of hidden force can be released when exerting power, and each layer of hidden force can unleash twice the power! With all six levels combined, the maximum physical strength can be increased by seven times!"

"After completing the sixth level, there is still a sliver of opportunity to comprehend a unique aura that I call—a domain!"

The introduction on the first page stirred Zhou Yang's emotions.

It truly lives up to its reputation as the most powerful offensive weapon on Earth!

Each level of mastery allows you to unleash twice the power without diminishing your original strength.

This is even more powerful than the earlier "Ninefold Thunder Blade".

Moreover, after mastering the Sixfold Spear Technique, there is even a slight chance to comprehend the domain!

Even in the vast universe, someone who can comprehend a domain at the planetary level is certainly worthy of being called a genius.

"This Hong truly lives up to his reputation as the most insightful person on Earth besides Luo Feng!"

Zhou Yang smacked his lips and continued looking back.

Similarly, footwork is the foundation of spearmanship. Without footwork, one cannot establish a stance.

"The most important aspect of spear training is footwork. My spear technique, 'Swimming Dragon,' is also the best body movement manual on Earth."

"The 'Dragon' has fifteen footwork techniques. After mastering them, one can better mobilize the body's power and, when facing an enemy, make the spear move like a snake, with swift hands and feet, splitting the spear upon contact with flesh, penetrating close to the pole, circling as the primordial spirit, splitting the form for use, and rapidly advancing with continuous attacks, ultimately reaching a state of combining hardness and softness, and combining offense and defense."

"Reading ancient martial arts classics such as 'The Arm Manual' and 'Emei Spear Technique' will help you comprehend the World-Destroying Spear Technique more quickly."

For the entire afternoon, Zhou Yang stayed in the underground martial arts hall reading the gun technique "World Destruction," which he had purchased for a huge sum of 1 million.

The more I looked at him, the brighter his eyes became.

In addition to a set of guiding techniques, this "World Destruction" manual mainly introduces fifteen footwork techniques and twenty-one thrusting techniques and eleven leather techniques in spear fighting.

This was the first time he had ever systematically learned about the training system of spear techniques and movement techniques since he began cultivating, and he immediately felt enlightened.

"According to this secret method, before practicing spear techniques, one must first practice footwork. I'll give it a try first!"

Zhou Yang closed the book, got up, and went to the center of the training hall.

He silently recalled the footwork described in the manual, and stepped out in a strange posture.

However, the first attempt ended in failure.

According to the manual, this footwork is not simply about stepping out with your legs according to the moves; it requires simultaneously mobilizing your body to generate power, accumulating momentum, and being ready to launch an attack at any time while also being able to block and defend.

This undoubtedly requires extremely strong coordination and responsiveness.

He spent the entire afternoon trying repeatedly, but he was still unable to fully master the footwork.

However, since this is known as the most difficult marksmanship to master on Earth, he wasn't in a hurry and kept practicing it repeatedly.

"By the way, the manual mentions that studying ancient martial arts classics like 'The Arm Manual' and 'Emei Spear Technique' can help one comprehend the 'World Destroyer' spear technique more quickly?"

Time has passed, and the scorching summer has gradually passed, but the lingering heat of late summer remains fierce.

During this period, Zhou Yang immersed himself in studying the "World Destruction" spear technique, and hardly ever left his house.

Only when he had a slight understanding would he invite Luo Feng to the training hall of the Limit Club to spar and verify his skills.

With such a combat genius as his sparring partner, his progress was quite rapid.

But the good days soon came to an end. Luo Feng found his own martial arts team and set off for the wilderness on August 28th, leaving Zhou Yang to return to his solitary, quiet study.

However, due to a lack of real-world practice, his progress gradually slowed down.

"I still need a lot of real-world experience to better understand the combat techniques described in the manual. When are Dad and the others going to the wilderness?"

Zhou Yang waited patiently, and soon the opportunity he had been hoping for arrived.

On the morning of September 5th, Zhou Yang put on his full gear early.

He wore combat trousers and alloy boots, a combat vest, a retractable martial arts backpack on his back, six 7-series throwing knives on his waist belt, and a heavy, black starry sky spear in his hand. He looked even more heroic than usual.

"Son, are you done yet?"

Zhou Yong's voice came from downstairs.

"Okay, coming right away!"

Zhou Yang responded, checked his equipment again, then grabbed his spear and left the room.

Zhou Yong was already waiting downstairs, fully armed as well.

His mother, Wang Shumei, was quietly checking the supplies he needed to take and reminding him to be careful.

"Wow, my son looks really handsome in this outfit! He's about half as good as me!"

When Zhou Yang came downstairs, Zhou Yong grinned and gave him a thumbs up.

Wang Shumei, who was standing nearby, gently slapped him on the shoulder, then quickly stepped forward to straighten the wrinkles in Zhou Yang's combat uniform collar, her eyes filled with worry as she instructed him:

"Yangyang, be careful when you're out. Listen to your dad and Uncle Liu, and don't be reckless!"

Seeing Wang Shumei's slightly red eyes, Zhou Yang was moved.

He nodded obediently, smiling reassuringly, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll be careful!"

Zhou Yong, who was waiting over there, mumbled somewhat vaguely, "What are you worried about? This kid is almost more capable than his father now. I might even need his protection."

His words immediately earned him a big eye roll. "It's my own son, isn't it natural for me to worry? Would I be as unreliable as you?!"

After leaving their home, Zhou Yang and his son took a private car from the Extreme Martial Arts Academy and soon arrived at the most bustling area of ​​the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan Base City.

In the heart of this area stands a towering 88-story skyscraper.

Two huge English letters on the building flashed brightly – HR!

Here is the renowned HR Alliance branch in Jiangnan Base City!

"Let's go, son, let's go see the captain and the others!"
