Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 36 Impacting the Rankings

"Boom!"

On the vast grassland, a herd of hundreds of wild bulls was running and trampling wildly.

Amidst the chaotic herd of wild bulls, Zhou Yang, wielding the Starry Sky Spear, moved swiftly.

With his mastery of the subtle techniques, he nimbly maneuvered among the wild bulls.

The massive size of the beast-general-level savage bull became an excellent obstacle for him.

The enraged herd of wild bulls roared and attacked him relentlessly, but they couldn't even touch his body.

During this process, he kept thrusting out with his spear.

With the first enhancement of "World Destruction," the spear, unleashing double the power, can easily pierce the necks of wild bulls.

Over time, the number of wild bull herds has been decreasing rapidly.

"puff!"

The spear was pulled from the body of the last wild bull, and Zhou Yang stood silently with the spear sheathed.

The next second, a loud electronic notification sound echoed throughout the space.

"It took 29 minutes and 30 seconds to kill all 200 bulls. Congratulations on successfully passing the first level (C stage) of the Trial Tower!"

"Phew, it finally passed!"

At this moment, Zhou Yang was covered in blood from head to toe.

He finally breathed a long sigh of relief the moment the notification sound rang.

"The first level, stage C, was actually an attack by a full 190 novice beast generals and 10 intermediate beast generals, the Wild Bull."

Under the command of the mid-level beast general-level savage bulls, this herd of savage bulls actually began to cooperate, and their combat power increased by several levels.

Several times he was nearly stabbed by the huge bull horn.

Fortunately, thanks to his mastery of the microscopic movement technique, he managed to pass the first level C stage assessment without any major incident!

Before he could think any further, another notification sound rang out above his head.

"Congratulations, student Zhou Yang, on successfully passing the first level of the Trial Tower."

The second stage, phase a, assessment will now begin.

Objective: Kill 50 low-level Ironclad Scorpions within 10 minutes. Good luck!

As the notification sound faded, the surrounding environment began to change rapidly.

The green grasslands began to recede, and vast stretches of yellow sand began to appear.

Soon, Zhou Yang found himself completely immersed in a boundless yellow desert.

"Snap, snap!"

A rustling sound rang out.

Zhou Yang quickly looked up.

A hundred meters away, scorpions with dark red carapaces emerged from under the sand.

These scorpions are dark red all over, while their long, pointed tails are jet black, gleaming coldly and sending chills down your spine.

The armored scorpion is a monster often seen in desert areas and is the most numerous of the scorpion species.

These armored scorpions are relatively small, allowing more than ten or even twenty to attack a person simultaneously!

Moreover, they are elusive and extremely difficult to deal with.

It's clearly unrealistic to try to use the monster's body to dodge and fight like on the first floor.

"This is going to be tough!"

Facing attacks from a dozen or even twenty armored scorpions at the level of beast generals simultaneously, Zhou Yang dared not say he was certain of victory.

"Let's go crazy!"

A fierce fire ignited in Zhou Yang's eyes.

He gripped the Starry Sky Spear tightly, moved his feet, and actually charged towards the swarm of armored scorpions in the distance.

At the same moment, the armored scorpion swarm on the opposite side also launched an attack on Zhou Yang.

"Hiss!"

A large number of armored scorpions leaped into the air at high speed, instantly surrounding Zhou Yang.

"Snap snap snap!"

Pairs of claws gleaming with a cold light opened and closed continuously, reaching directly for his body.

Zhou Yang quickly scanned the area, and in that instant, at least fifteen armored scorpions around him launched an attack!

He was highly focused at the moment, and the fifteen revolutionary techniques recorded in the "World Destruction" manual flashed through his mind like fast-forwarded movie clips.

The trajectory of each armored scorpion's attack and the time it took to reach him were quickly calculated.

"bring it on!"

The spear in his hand moved instantly!

Unlike his previous method of primarily using thrusting attacks against the first layer of bulls, he now treated his spear more like a long staff!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The spear shaft transformed into a series of afterimages, sweeping and thrusting horizontally and vertically at extremely fast speed!

With the blessing of "World Destruction", double the power and double the speed are unleashed simultaneously!

"Puff puff puff~"

One after another, the armored scorpions were struck by the sharp spear shadows, their bodies exploding and shattering in mid-air!

The first wave of fifteen armored scorpions that attacked him were mostly wiped out in an instant!

"hide!"

He moved his feet, activating his mastery of the Microscopic Realm movement technique, and quickly rushed out through the newly opened gap.

However, at that moment, the remaining armored scorpions also launched an attack on him.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Dozens of dark red figures instantly enveloped him once again.

Sharp pincers and a scorpion tail gleaming with a chilling light attacked him simultaneously.

"Drink!"

Zhou Yang let out a low shout, his entire body tensing up to the extreme.

He swiftly slashed and thrust his spear horizontally and diagonally, sending the armored scorpions flying, while simultaneously adjusting his body to dodge.

However, these armored scorpions are not large, but their movements are agile and unpredictable.

The armored scorpions even swung their tails in mid-air to adjust their posture, nimbly dodging the spear attacks.

Many armored scorpions burrowed into the desert and launched an attack on him from underground.

For a moment, Zhou Yang was at a loss!

"laugh!"

A jet-black scorpion tail pierced through the desert beneath his feet and struck instantly, bypassing the gunfire and leaving a small hole in Zhou Yang's waist.

Zhou Yang, who was dodging rapidly, suddenly froze, his movements becoming stiff.

"Boom!"

The armored scorpion that was close at hand was swept away with a single shot, but Zhou Yang's expression turned ugly.

"Oh no, the Ironclad Scorpion's deadly venom!"

At this moment, a potent toxin was rapidly spreading throughout his body from the wound on his waist.

Under the influence of the poison, the movements of the spear in his hand gradually became sluggish, and his vision began to blur momentarily.

"Hiss~"

The remaining twenty-odd armored scorpions seized the opportunity and quickly launched an attack on him.

The dark red figures flashed by swiftly, like afterimages.

Zhou Yang swept his spear horizontally, sending the three armored scorpions flying.

However, many more dark red figures broke through the spear's obstruction.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

In an instant, several more wounds appeared on his body, and an even stronger wave of dizziness began to wash over him.

At this time, there were still nearly twenty armored scorpions.

"Snap snap!"

A large swarm of armored scorpions rushed towards him again.

"Block it! Block it! Block it!"

Zhou Yang roared angrily in his heart, frantically channeling all his strength into the spear in his hand.

In a split second, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, a surge of hidden energy erupted from his body, propelling the spear to accelerate once more!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The Starry Sky Spear broke through its original speed, reaching an unbelievable level.

The power contained within the gun surged dramatically.

The second level of the "World Destroyer" spear technique has been broken through!

At the same time, the spear technique, which was at the peak of the basic level, was driven and entered the realm of specialization!

The next moment, a barrage of gunfire erupted!

One after another, the armored scorpions were smashed and shattered in an instant!

As the gunfire subsided, the desert fell completely silent.

A soft white light descended from the sky, quickly healing all of Zhou Yang's wounds.

At the same time, a pleasant electronic notification sound rang out.

"It took 7 minutes and 50 seconds to kill all 50 Ironclad Scorpions. Congratulations on successfully passing the second level, stage A of the Trial Tower!"

At this moment, in the plaza below the Black Dragon Ranking in the Elite Training Camp, a large crowd was gathered, anxiously watching the rankings on the leaderboard.

"I'm currently ranked 100th, and there's less than an hour left. Haha, I should be in for it this time!"

A tall, blond young man was staring intently at his name, a happy smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Campbell, your time in the Ancient Civilization Room will double next month."

His companions all happily offered their blessings.

"Haha, thank you, thank you! Keep up the good work, you'll have another chance next month!"

The blond youth waved his hands repeatedly, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

However, at that moment, it was as if a blur appeared before his eyes.

"Why does it look like my name moved slightly to the right?"

However, he realized what was happening a moment later!

He wasn't the only one who noticed it; a large number of people around him were watching the rankings, and this subtle change instantly caught their attention.

"Someone else has broken into the top 100!"

"Who is it!"

A flurry of eager eyes scanned the area.

Many people have been here for a long time and know the rankings by heart.

The changed location was quickly discovered!

"There it is! Number 89, a new one has come up!"

"Who the hell is Zhou Yang?!"
