Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 38 Summoning

Elite Training Camp, Nine-Story Tower Trial Room.

Zhou Yang, who had just pushed open the door, was instantly surrounded by a noisy crowd!

Students of all skin colors jostled and pushed their way forward.

"Zhou Yang, congratulations on reaching 50th place on the leaderboard in your first month. I'm from the Blazing Fire Organization."

"You go to the side, I was here first, Zhou Yang, I'm from the HR Alliance, I..."

"Zhou Yang, I am inviting you on behalf of the Chinese military."

"Junior Zhou Yang, my name is Elena. Do you have a girlfriend?"

Students and even teachers sent him their blessings.

Many people took the opportunity to extend invitations to him on behalf of the forces behind them.

The treatment offered by those forces is absolutely top-notch, with annual operating expenses alone reaching tens of billions!

Many people even inquired whether he was single.

Zhou Yang didn't dare to linger, and made an excuse to flee in a sorry state to his residence at Jiangnan Pavilion.

"These people are so enthusiastic!"

He couldn't help but sigh.

During his challenge of the second level, stage a of the Trial Tower, he was fortunate enough to comprehend the second level of the "World Destruction" spear technique.

And he took the opportunity to elevate his marksmanship to the expert level.

Finally, with a burst of all his might, he managed to pass through both phases b and c of the second level in one go!

He failed miserably in the third stage, a.

However, he also killed nearly half of the fifty mid-level beast general-class monsters in the third layer, stage a.

His Trial Tower level ultimately settled at 3.1.

With his power level increased by 3 times, his combat power amplitude directly reached 9.3!

This also led to his total score doubling and skyrocketing, achieving consecutive jumps.

In the end, it actually jumped straight to 50th place!

"Fiftieth place, so next month I can use the gravity chamber and trial room for four hours straight, right?"

"No, the training camp is on break in January and February, so I won't be able to use it until March."

Zhou Yang soon returned to Jiangnan Pavilion.

The moment he pushed open the courtyard gate, two ghostly figures rushed in front of him.

"Junior brother, you're amazing! Absolutely incredible!"

Senior Sister Zhao Ruo's gaze swept back and forth over him, her face displaying an extremely exaggerated expression.

"Reaching 50th place on the leaderboard in just one month of training camp? Junior, you've made history! Absolutely, absolutely!"

"Awesome!"

Even the usually composed Shi Jiang couldn't help but blurt out two words:

"Haha, senior brothers and sisters, you flatter me. I just improved my marksmanship, which is why I was able to get into the top fifty."

Zhou Yang smiled sheepishly.

"Junior brother, no need to be modest. You're the first person to break into the top fifty in the very first month!"

Senior Brother Shi Jiang said with a smile.

"Junior brother, can I ask you something?"

At this moment, Senior Sister Zhao Ruo gently brushed aside the stray hairs that fell across her forehead, and her gaze toward Zhou Yang became fervent.

"Hey, junior brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

"what?"

Zhou Yang was taken aback and couldn't help but look at the senior sister in front of him.

She was petite with short, neat hair, but her skin was slightly dark and her eyes weren't very big.

It seems like she's not my type.

"Sorry, senior sister, women only slow down my draw speed!"

"Hahaha."

Around 10 a.m. the next day, Zhou Yang was quietly practicing the power exertion techniques of the second level of "World Destruction" in the underground secret room of Jiangnan Pavilion.

Just then, the cell phone that was placed to the side suddenly rang.

"The teacher's phone number?"

He quickly pressed the answer button.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Dong Dao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Come to my location immediately; Inspector Wang wishes to see you!"

"Summoned by the Inspector General?"

Zhou Yang was taken aback. Could it be...?

"Okay, teacher, I'm coming right away!"

Zhou Yang quickly changed his clothes and rushed outside.

Before long, he met up with Teacher Dong Dao, and under his guidance, they headed towards the villa area deep inside the training camp.

"Teacher, the inspector summoned me. Do you know why?"

On the way, Zhou Yang tentatively asked Dong Dao a question.

The Inspector—that's a true top figure at the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy.

As the world's strongest martial artist, Master Hong devotes most of his energy to exploring martial arts.

Normally, the five inspectors are the ones who are truly responsible for making decisions at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

These five inspectors have reached the pinnacle of human strength, each of them surpassing even the God of War!

Such a powerful and influential person summoning me must not be for something trivial.

"Don't be nervous, it's a good thing."

Professor Dong Dao's answer confirmed his guess.

The teacher, who looked like a little old man, was beaming with joy. He smiled and asked in return:

"You've caused quite a stir by breaking into the Black Dragon Rankings at number 50. By now, quite a few major powers must have contacted you, right?"

"Uh, that's true, but I refused them all."

Zhou Yang replied.

"It's alright, this is normal, the higher-ups at the martial arts school won't say anything."

Teacher Dong Dao waved his hand dismissively and continued:

"On the contrary, they need to hurry up and figure out how to win you over and completely tie you to the Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

"Inspector Wang's summons this time is probably to discuss the contract with you, so be sure to be respectful in your attitude later."

"Yes, teacher."

Zhou Yang followed Teacher Dong Dao and soon arrived at a villa with a distinct ancient Chinese Tang Dynasty style.

An elderly man who looked like a butler was waiting for them at the entrance of the villa.

"Teacher Dong, the Inspector is waiting for you. Please come in."

Following the butler into the villa, Zhou Yang immediately saw several elegant women chatting and laughing in the lobby on the first floor.

"Brother Dong is here? Old Wang is in the reception room upstairs. Let that young man named Zhou Yang go up directly."

One of the elegant middle-aged women greeted them with a smile:

"Brother Dong, please chat with us for a while, and tell us about what happened before the Great Nirvana."

"Haha, okay! Zhou Yang, you can go up now."

With his gray hair, Teacher Dong Dao gave Zhou Yang some instructions and walked into the living room.

Soon his loud voice filled the living room.

"Let me tell you, before the Great Rebirth, I was a professional League of Legends player, and I was incredibly skilled at using the 'Chrysanthemum Gun' technique."

Zhou Yang went up the stairs to the second floor alone.

A faint aroma of tea wafted into his mouth and nose.

Following the aroma of tea, he easily arrived at the door of the second-floor reception room.

"Come in."

Before he could make a move, a slightly hoarse voice rang out in the reception room.

The door to the reception room was open, and Zhou Yang, with a respectful expression, stepped directly inside.

There were no chairs in the reception room, only a low tea table in the middle.

A figure sat cross-legged behind the tea table.

He looked to be in his forties, with a mustache and a slightly thin face, but one could still vaguely see the handsome features he had in his youth.

He was resting with his eyes closed, and a cup of tea on the table in front of him was emitting a delicate fragrance.

"Your Excellency the Inspector."

Zhou Yang stepped forward and bowed slightly.

The inspector, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyelids and glanced at him.

In an instant, Zhou Yang felt as if he were enveloped by an endless starry sky, his vision instantly becoming so captivated that he could not extricate himself.

Fortunately, the feeling was fleeting, and he regained his senses the next second.

"Is this the strength beyond the level of a War God? I'm still far from that!"

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Yes, sit wherever you like, don't be shy."

Inspector Wang, who was behind the tea table, gave him a faint smile.

After Zhou Yang sat down cross-legged across the tea table, just like the other person, Inspector Wang pushed a contract towards him.

"This is the contract the martial arts school has prepared for you. Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign it."
