Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 33 Teacher

The next day at noon, an elderly man with a full head of white hair, accompanied by Shi Jiang, came to the courtyard of Jiangnan Pavilion.

"Zhou Yang, this is Teacher Dong Dao. You will be learning from Teacher Dong for the next five years in the training camp."

Shi Jiang turned to Zhou Yang and introduced them.

Zhou Yang looked at the figure beside him. He had a full head of silver hair and a slightly hunched back, making him look a little shorter than Zhou Yang.

He just stood there with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed, yet Zhou Yang felt a subtle sense of oppression.

"Hehe, although my name is Dong Dao, I don't know anything about knives. I practice with guns."

At this moment, the silver-haired teacher, Ms. Dong, smiled happily at Zhou Yang, her face wrinkling slightly.

He looks like a harmless old man next door.

"Hello, Teacher Dong. I'll be troubling you a lot in the future!"

Zhou Yang stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. I love playing with you young people the most, so please don't think I'm being a nag."

Teacher Dong smiled and waved her hand, appearing completely approachable.

"This teacher, Ms. Dong, seems very approachable!"

Zhou Yang thought to himself silently.

However, he soon discovered that his intuition was somewhat one-sided.

In a spacious training ground of the elite training camp, two figures wielding long spears were engaged in a rapid battle.

Calling it a battle might be a bit inaccurate, because it was a complete one-sided annihilation!

"Is this all the new talent this year is capable of?"

"Someone like you could be easily beaten up by my grandma with her cane!"

"You're this bad and you still dare to come to the God of War Training Camp? Who gave you the courage! Fish Leong?"

"Did you practice your marksmanship with your feet?"

"If you can't withstand this shot from me today, you won't be sleeping!"

A series of shouts and curses echoed like thunder across the training ground.

The kind old man who had just looked like a friendly neighbor now had his beard and hair standing on end, resembling an enraged lion.

He gripped a black iron spear and relentlessly attacked Zhou Yang. The spear's wind was fierce, and each strike seemed to cause the air to tremble slightly.

His spear attacks were as elusive as phantoms, sometimes streaking across the sky like a meteor, sometimes sweeping across the wasteland like a whirlwind, making them impossible to predict.

Zhou Yang, who was opposite him, was as if he were caught in a wave of gunfire.

He tried his best to raise his spear horizontally to parry left and right, but he missed repeatedly.

The opponent's spear was always unpredictable, changing its moves at crucial moments and striking him instantly.

Although his opponent held back at the last moment, the force of the blows was enough to leave Zhou Yang covered in bruises and in a sorry state.

"How stupid of me, really, I actually made that assumption that he was a kind old man."

Zhou Yang grimaced as he endured the spears raining down on him, but he focused all his attention on finding weaknesses in his opponent's attacks.

During this process, mysterious streams of clear liquid flowed slowly from the Meteor Tears in my chest, rapidly relieving my fatigue and pain.

Even more so, wisps of clear water drifted into his sea of ​​consciousness, making his mind even clearer.

He focused intently on the point where Teacher Dong was applying force with his wrist.

With the blessing of the mysterious clear stream, his five senses were rapidly and almost infinitely enhanced.

In this state, even Teacher Dong's movements seemed to slow down.

Zhou Yang's confused gaze gradually became focused.

Finally, at a certain moment, he, who was staring intently at Teacher Dong's wrist, seemed to notice that the other party's movements seemed to have slowed down slightly!

Although this slight delay was insignificant, he caught it instantly!

"Chance!"

Without hesitation, he thrust out his spear in an instant, unleashing the first level of the "World Destruction" internal force, propelling the spear to accelerate once more!

At that moment, he instantly felt a smooth, jade-like quality, and the spear in his hand seemed to have become part of his body.

"Ding!"

The tip of the Starry Sky Spear pierced the black shaft at an extremely tricky angle.

The countless gunshots instantly gathered and dissipated.

"what?"

A slightly surprised voice rang out, and Teacher Dong across from them looked over curiously.

"Hehe, not bad. Although your foundation is a bit weak, your comprehension is still quite good!"

At this moment, he reverted to his kind old grandfather demeanor, his eyes crinkling with laughter, and wrinkles appearing on his face.

"The levels of marksmanship are divided into four stages: basic, specialized, perfect, and mastery. You kid, you've barely managed to master the lowest level, the basic stage."

"Huh? Only the basic level?"

Zhou Yang scratched his head, realizing that even after mastering the first level of "World Destruction," he was only at the basic level!

"Don't get your hopes up, kid!"

Teacher Dong seemed to have guessed his thoughts and explained with a smile.

"I know you practice the 'World Destruction' spear technique and have mastered the first level, but the realm of spear technique is not just about the technique of exerting force."

"I ask you, although you are now able to exert twice the power of the first level of 'World Destruction'."

But dare you say that you've mastered the twenty-one stabbing techniques, eleven leather-making techniques, and fifteen footwork methods described in the manual to perfection, and can even see the moves of the students?

"this"

Zhou Yang paused slightly.

He silently assessed his own skill level. He could now barely be considered proficient in the spear techniques and footwork recorded in the "World Destruction" manual.

However, to say that one has reached a level of consummate skill, or even mastery of every move, is simply impossible.

"The classification of marksmanship levels is based on the proficiency in the application of techniques, not simply the level of force exerted."

Teacher Dong explained with a smile.

"So that's how it is!"

Zhou Yang nodded.

He has been in this world for less than a year.

Although I have made up for a lot of knowledge after becoming a martial artist, I have never had a real systematic study, and I really know very little about these things.

"Looks like coming to this elite training camp was definitely the right decision!"

At this moment, Teacher Dong, who looked like an old man, tilted his head slightly, signaling him to follow.

"Let's go. I'll take you to experience the ancient civilization's gravity chamber and trial tower first, and I'll also tell you about the upcoming training plan."

"Yes, teacher!"

Zhou Yang responded and quickly followed beside him.

"Oh, and just a heads-up, you can't use your mental powers in the Trial Tower. If you want to climb higher, don't let your marksmanship suffer!"

"besides."

As Coach Dong Dao walked, he explained the upcoming training plan and some things to pay attention to to Zhou Yang.

Before long, they arrived in front of an extremely magnificent nine-story building!

Nine-story tower!

The most important place in the elite training camp!

The ninth floor of this nine-story building is of utmost importance!

On this floor are the three most important ancient civilization facilities of the elite training camp: the gravity chamber, the trial chamber, and the challenge chamber!

The gravity chamber can be adjusted to 1-1000 times gravity, which deeply compresses the human body, thereby promoting the absorption of genetic energy and increasing the speed of cultivation.

The Trial Room is the nine-story Trial Tower space that Luo Feng entered when he participated in the B-level assessment in the original work. The level of the Trial Tower is related to the magnitude of the combat power fluctuation during the ranking.

In the training room, one can enter a virtual space through a consciousness sensing device, allowing for unrestricted combat without fear of danger.

"From the 1st to the 30th of each month, students go into the training room and gravity chamber for training."

During these 30 days, there is a one-hour break from 12 noon to 1 pm every day.

Generally, if there are new prospective trainees being assessed, it will be conducted within this hour.

You've just joined the training camp, so you have an extra chance to take the Trial Tower assessment this month. You can decide how to handle it yourself.

Also, the usage time for these ancient civilization rooms is linked to the ranking system; details are in the student handbook, please check it yourself.

"Oh, and one last thing, I'll remind you: I'm getting old, and I'm quite concerned about my image. As my student—"

"Kid, you'd better work hard!"

Mr. Dong Dao, who looked like an old man, smiled at Zhou Yang with an extremely kind expression.
