Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 29 Return and Plan

Midnight, the moonlight is hazy.

On the dilapidated road leading to the Southeast Military Region supply base, a figure was moving quickly forward.

He had five or six huge, bulging backpacks hanging on his back, almost completely burying his upper body.

"Unfortunately, that war god-level warrior still managed to escape in the end!"

Zhou Yang was slightly annoyed as he walked.

Three days had passed since the attack on the Japanese warriors.

Over the past three days, Zhou Yang has fought the last Japanese war god at least a hundred times.

At the beginning, the Sakura Kingdom's War God was furious when he saw his companion killed by Zhou Yang and launched a frenzied pursuit of him.

The physical attributes and speed of a God of War level expert are terrifying.

With a full-speed running start and a high jump, he could reach a height of tens of meters. Zhou Yang was caught off guard at first and almost suffered a great loss.

However, as he gradually increased his flight altitude, the attacks from the Sakura Kingdom's War God could no longer threaten him.

However, Zhou Yang's throwing knives could attack him without any restraint.

Therefore, the next three days were Zhou Yang's torment of that Japanese war god!

When the War God of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom attacked him, he used his flight advantage to quickly ascend and create distance.

When the other party gave up the chase, Zhou Yang quickly approached again, using his mental power to control flying knives to launch continuous attacks on him.

Even a God of War level expert, despite their immense speed, is helpless against a throwing knife that travels at several times the speed of sound.

Of course, it was difficult for Zhou Yang's throwing knives to actually harm him.

However, under Zhou Yang's relentless attacks, even the War God of the Sakura Kingdom could not withstand the harassment.

Imagine that for the past few days, whether you're traveling or resting, there's always a fly buzzing around your head.

They'll occasionally rush over and bite you.

Wanting to retaliate but being unable to hit or catch up is incredibly frustrating!

Even though he had given up on killing that despicable mentalist, he still dared to keep chasing him!

Does he really believe he can kill a war god-level expert?

The God of War of the Sakura Kingdom was extremely annoyed, but there was really nothing he could do.

After all, this was within the territory of China, so he dared not openly call for support from the organization.

Finally, after his failed attempt to ambush the enemy, he turned around without hesitation and ran away.

Zhou Yang's mental strength was only equivalent to that of a high-level warrior, while a war god who was determined to escape could move at an abnormal speed.

Even with his full power, he couldn't stop him and could only watch helplessly as the other's figure disappeared from sight.

Having lost his target, Zhou Yang did not linger and quickly returned to the supply base under the cover of night.

However, his arrival at the supply base still caused quite a stir.

"That's Zhou Yang from the Wind Chaser Squad? Wow, he's carrying so much loot all by himself!"

"That's not right. Didn't their team come back a few days ago? They were all injured. I didn't see this kid then, so I thought..."

"Shh, keep your voice down. Anyone with eyes can see that they've definitely gotten into a fight with another team. Look at Lei Hong and the others, their injuries are not something a monster could have caused."

"But why did this kid come back alone? It seems this genius newcomer is quite capable."

Although it was already past midnight, there were still quite a few martial artists active in the supply base.

Quite a few people recognized Zhou Yang and started discussing him in small groups.

Zhou Yang ignored them. After the guards at the base gate checked his identity, he slung his heavy backpack over his shoulder and quickly returned to the rest villa at the supply base.

After returning, Lei Hong and the others went straight back to the base city, but they hadn't returned the villa yet.

"Bang!"

Zhou Yang placed the large pile of backpacks in the corner of the hall and closed the villa door.

He first took a nice, relaxing shower and changed into clean clothes before collapsing onto the sofa to analyze his current situation.

"The war god of the Sakura Kingdom has escaped; this is a potential problem."

"He will likely expose the fact that I killed the sniper and the two martial artists from the Li family hunting team."

"Leaving aside the background of the Japanese warriors, the Li family is also a force under the HR Alliance. Although they are not among the twelve major conglomerates, they should not be underestimated."

"As for the military and martial arts schools, there shouldn't be too much to worry about. After all, settling scores in the wilderness is a tacit agreement among the major powers."

"In the original novel, Hong even tacitly allowed Li Yao to hunt down Luo Feng in Australia, although his original intention was to use Li Yao as a whetstone for Luo Feng."

"Compared to that, whether my identity as a mentalist is exposed is not a big deal."

"That's not right either. If it were really exposed, it would probably attract the attention of the military and the martial arts school, and they would try to win me over or monitor me."

He changed his position, lying back on the sofa, carefully considering the possible scenarios and how to deal with them.

He himself wasn't too afraid. After undergoing a mutation, the Meteor Tear's effect on strengthening the physical body had been further enhanced, and his physical attributes were estimated to reach the intermediate warrior level soon.

With further enhancement of mental power, one should be able to reach the threshold of the initial War God level.

Therefore, one's safety should be guaranteed.

What I fear most is that these people might target their own family members.

Zhou Yong, the father, was only a high-level warrior, and Wang Shumei, the mother, was an ordinary person.

Although he couldn't directly target the families of martial artists in the base city, these powerful forces had plenty of underhanded tricks up their sleeves, and he couldn't be on guard all the time.

"Elite Training Camp!"

He quickly came up with some initial ideas.

If he can join the elite training camp, it will be equivalent to entering the core circle of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy.

At that time, the martial arts school will strengthen its protection of the family, and both the Li family and the forces behind the martial artists from the Sakura Kingdom will be more wary.

If you can buy yourself some time, you'll grow quickly at your own pace.

Solving these problems will be easy then!

"How do I join the elite training camp? Like Luo Feng?"

In the original story, Luo Feng attracted the attention of the Limit Martial Arts School by demonstrating his strength at the beginner level of a warrior and mastering the third level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade.

He was successfully recruited only after passing the B-level test.

"Perhaps it won't be that troublesome. Once that Japanese martial artist announces my identity as a mentalist, the martial arts school or the military will probably come to me on their own."

Mentalists possess unpredictable methods and powerful attacks, making them highly sought after by various factions.

Especially for a genius like Zhou Yang, who is so young yet whose mental strength has already reached the level of an advanced warrior, once his identity is revealed, he should quickly become a target of competition among various forces.

Zhou Yang gradually became more certain of his idea.

I absolutely have to go to the elite training camp, and as soon as possible.

Firstly, this can improve the safety of family members, and secondly, it can help accelerate the training process by utilizing the resources of the elite training camp.

With the presence of Meteor Tears, his physical abilities improved rapidly, but his desire for things like dragon blood and plant spirits wasn't too strong.

In contrast, his movement skills and marksmanship will gradually become his weaknesses.

Therefore, what he values ​​more is the guidance from the war god-level teachers and even the councilor-level powerhouses, as well as the assistance from ancient civilization equipment such as gravity chambers.

"Let's decide on this! Tomorrow, I'll contact Uncle Lei and Dad to get rid of these materials and buy the second level of 'World Destruction' as soon as possible."

"I'll stay home for now, practice my shooting, and see how that Japanese war god reacts."
