Swallowing the Stars: Starting with a Meteor Tear

Chapter 61 Before Leaving (Part 2)

Since the merger of the two major martial arts schools on Earth two years ago, an even greater shock has swept across the entire planet.

All radio and online channels across the globe began rapidly broadcasting a statement jointly certified by the five major powers.

"Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy will distribute an evolution potion called 'Purple Light Dew' free of charge to all humans on Earth."

"Ordinary people will experience a significant boost in physical strength after consuming the Purple Light Dew, while high-level martial arts students can even break through to the Martial Artist level!"

"All martial artists who break through to the planetary level can apply to the Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy for an interest-free loan with a total amount not exceeding 1 million Black Dragon Coins."

"The repayment period is 100 years. If you reach the 'Constant Star' level within 100 years, the loan will be waived!"

"Martial artists who pass the Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy's examination will be granted the qualification to enter the universe!"

"Zhou Yang, the head of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy, has purchased a habitable planet in the Milky Way galaxy as a bridgehead for humanity's entry into the universe."

As messages were continuously released, they immediately caused a huge sensation worldwide.

Although, under the guidance of the Starry Sky Martial Arts Academy, the martial arts atmosphere on Earth has risen much higher than it did two years ago.

However, in the vast majority of the world's ordinary people, most people still live the ordinary life of working like oxen and horses from dawn till dusk.

They would haggle over a penny or two when shopping for vegetables, and they would always subconsciously save the meat in the meals for the youngest child in the family.

The world of martial artists is both familiar and distant to them. Perhaps most people will never have any interaction with martial artists in their lives and will just live an ordinary, uneventful life.

It was under these circumstances that major governments suddenly announced that our journey as Earthlings was to the stars and the sea.

It's easy to imagine the huge impact this will have on ordinary people on Earth!

"Could it be that I've traveled through time?"

This is the first thought that comes to mind for most people.

However, as batches of Purple Light Dew were released...

The physical fitness of ordinary people increased rapidly, and martial arts students even successfully broke through to the level of martial artists.

As a result, the whole world was immediately plunged into a state of frenzy.

In Kyoto base city, after setting up the last C3-level survival base, Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Jia, I suggest that the survival base should only be known to a few high-ranking officials. Don't announce it to the public yet, so as not to make people lose their sense of crisis and become complacent."

Zhou Yang casually gave this instruction to someone next to him.

"What Director Zhou said makes sense. I will communicate with the government."

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man wearing a black Zhongshan suit, with slightly graying temples.

He bowed slightly to Zhou Yang, expressing his gratitude:

"Master Zhou, I, Lao Jia, thank you on behalf of China!"

"Oh, no, no, Mr. Jia, I can't accept this from you."

Seeing the middle-aged man's actions, Zhou Yang quickly stepped aside and supported his arm.

The person in front of him was none other than Jia Yi, the former top expert in the Chinese military.

This councilor, Jia Yi, rose to prominence during the Great Rebirth era, fighting on the front lines against the monster's turmoil, and single-handedly protected tens of millions of Chinese people.

Later, he stood firmly behind the Chinese government, fully supporting the government and military in establishing major base cities and restoring human order within China.

Even today, he continues to work tirelessly for the interests and safety of China.

Zhou Yang naturally admired such a person from the bottom of his heart.

He gently held Jia Yi's arm, preventing him from bowing down.

"Mr. Jia, I am also Chinese. It is only right that I do such a small thing."

Jia Yi tried again, but when he still couldn't get the bow down, he gave up.

He straightened up and gave Zhou Yang a wry smile:

"Looks like I'm really getting old. The fate of humanity on Earth from now on depends on you young people."

Hearing his words, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile:

"You really can't admit you're getting old now. Humanity on Earth is about to gradually integrate into the universe, and the billion-plus Chinese people need you to lead them forward. It's unacceptable for you to slack off at this time!"

"Heh, it's really not that I want to be lazy."

Jia Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, his face showing a hint of dejection and resentment.

Seeing his dejected expression, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile and ask:

"What's wrong? Is there some other difficulty here?"

"Hehe, it's not a difficult problem."

Jia Yi shook his head. "It's during the initial stages of the Great Nirvana eruption. In order to survive, people often resort to desperate measures that damage their bodies. Over time, this depletes their potential."

In the end, he simply smiled wryly:

"However, to have the privilege of witnessing such a legendary descendant as you emerge among the Chinese people makes my life worthwhile!"

Hearing Jia Yi's words, Zhou Yang also felt a little uncomfortable.

Like Jia Yi, the older generation of strongmen who came all the way from the Great Nirvana period, each of them went through countless life-and-death battles for the country, the nation, or for their families and friends, and therefore inevitably suffered from chronic and intractable diseases.

Their ability to rise rapidly during such a difficult period as the Great Nirvana indicates that their inherent qualities and talents far surpass those of most ordinary humans.

However, because of these "old ailments," not only does subsequent advancement become extremely difficult, but lifespan is also affected to some extent.

It's truly a pity.

"Maybe I can give it a try."

Zhou Yang's heart stirred slightly, as if he had thought of something.

He turned to look at Jia Yi and said, as if joking:

"Old Jia, to be honest, besides my cultivation, I also enjoy studying the ways of healing and saving lives. How about I take a look at you?"

"Oh? You know about this? Haha, then I'll have to trouble Master Zhou!"

Jia Yi also laughed heartily.

He didn't take it seriously, just thinking it was a joke he was making with Zhou Yang.

"How should I tell? Should I take your pulse or something?"

As he spoke, he rolled up the sleeve of his left-hand Shan suit, revealing his somewhat withered arm.

"No need for that trouble."

Zhou Yang chuckled, gently placing a finger on his arm, and using his mental power to quickly channel a wisp of life force into his body.

"Um?"

In an instant, Zhou Yang's brows furrowed slightly.

Jia Yi indeed suffered numerous hidden injuries, resulting in severe functional impairment.

The life force was rapidly consumed the moment it entered.

"How is it, Dr. Zhou? Can my illness still be cured?"

Jia Yi was still joking with him.

"It's no big deal!"

Zhou Yang grinned and then quickly transferred more life force into Jia Yi's body.

With the continuous infusion of life force, Jia Yi's complexion visibly became rosy.

Only then did Jia Yi finally feel the changes in his body.

His chronic illness was being cured, his previously frail bodily functions were rapidly recovering, and the white hair at his temples was gradually fading.

"This, this, this feeling..."

A look of deep astonishment crossed his face, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes.

After a long while, Zhou Yang finally withdrew his finger and gave him a faint smile.

"Comrade Jia, the revolution is not yet complete, so keep up the good work! I'm waiting for the day you lead the Chinese people out of Earth!"
