Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 16 Cultivation and Strengthening

"Advanced War God" privileges?

Zhuge Tao's face was somewhat unpleasant. His older brother, Zhuge Shan, had worked hard for most of his life, but had only barely broken through to the level of War God, and his strength was still relatively average.

He probably isn't qualified to see this information.

Only certain special departments of the five major powers are able to deal with the Limitless Martial Arts Academy in such a businesslike tone.

They symbolize the authority of secular regimes, and powerful alliances like the HR Alliance are not so assertive.

Luo Feng recalled the events of that day. He never expected that the "Mount Hua" that Bai Yang mentioned was such a powerful organization, and he knew absolutely nothing about it.

However, this was Bai Yang's privacy, and he wouldn't be as talkative as Jiang Nian; he simply pretended not to know.

Bai Pianyong and Zhuge Tao both looked embarrassed and couldn't back down.

Neither of them knew the details of Bai Yang's situation, and neither of them felt comfortable asking the other, so they could only pretend to have forgotten about it and stop talking about it.

Zhuge Tao felt he had lost face today and that he might not have the same authority as the other two managers at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in the future. He regretted his meddling.

Bai Pianyong was also shocked. What Bai Sheng said might be true now!

How could this be?!

No! I have to go find Xiaoyang and find out what happened!

-

As the instigator, Bai Yang was training in his dormitory and naturally had no idea about any of this.

Yesterday's incident was reported to Lu Ting by both Principal Wei and Mei Xiaqing.

He worked through the night to upgrade the document level for Bai Yang.

It's a pity that he himself is only a high-level war god, otherwise he would really like to make Bai Yang's confidential matters known to the level of a congressman.

You can't just let the duck you cooked fly away, can you?

The formal report requesting an improvement in Bai Yang's treatment has been submitted to Professor Jia Yi.

Every day we can delay is a day we can!

Regardless of all the right and wrong, Bai Yang filled his days with activities.

Dedicate all your nights to cultivating your genetic energy; this is the most efficient way to use your time, replacing sleep.

During the day, he would practice his moves and body techniques.

His most powerful direct combat ability is undoubtedly his S-rank swordsmanship.

In the original One-Punch Man manga, it was even said to have the effect of "cutting atoms".

In reality, the swordsman borrowed the power of the sword to some extent to achieve that unstoppable effect.

Bai Yang was unaware of the relative strengths of himself and that person.

But through this period of training, he was quite certain that his sword speed could reach the speed of sound.

This is an attack speed between that of a high-level general and a war god, which is also the reason why he was always victorious against the three women of the Bai family.

Combined with his perfect movement technique, he faced several high-level warriors head-on without any fear.

After finishing another practice session, Bai Yang put down his phone in frustration.

"Cannot find it, still can't find it."

Neither on the public internet nor the military academy's internal network, there are absolutely no videos of movement techniques at the "artistic level."

If he hadn't been so familiar with the original work and knew that this level of understanding truly existed, he would have almost doubted that he had remembered it wrong.

The existing instructional videos mainly focus on the "microscopic level".

The "perfect" level is something that teachers can teach through words and actions in real life, and it's difficult to explain in words; it requires understanding and experience.

As for the "artistic level," it's an indescribable level, and there's not even a single video record of it.

It seems like no one has ever seen it, yet people insist that it truly exists.

With the help of incredibly detailed videos, his movement techniques have long since reached a perfect level.

But for something like the realm of artistic conception, which has no reference point, even with his level of understanding, there's nothing he can do.

Trying to take it a step further leaves you stuck in a rut, which is incredibly frustrating.

"Does obtaining a cultivation technique from the universe mean one can break through? That would take far too long."

Bai Yang was unwilling to accept this, because for martial artists, the strength of their movement techniques directly affects their combat power.

Knowing that the Golden Horned Beast will invade Earth, he must strengthen himself as much as possible to protect himself and his loved ones.

And in late August 2057, it will descend upon the Hawaiian Islands.

Then on January 13, 2060, he will be able to advance to the Hengxing level and begin attacking New York. Within three days, he will sweep across the globe, and then be killed and possessed by Luo Feng.

He doesn't have much time. Only by possessing the power to crush this cosmic behemoth can he minimize the damage to Earth.

His cheat system is called the Earth Protection System. The more effort he puts in, the greater the benefits he will reap.

Knowing there was no other way to solve the problem for the time being, Bai Yang contacted Principal Wei again: "Principal, can I still use the things I applied for before?"

"Okay, you can go to Building 3 in the East District yourself. You can use it all for the whole summer vacation. Just swipe your student card to open the door."

"Thank you so much! I'll be right there."

The principal is truly amazing!

I just had a thought, mentioned it to him, and he actually got it done for me.

Bai Yang followed the electronic navigation on his phone and arrived at a deserted area in the eastern part of the school.

We found a huge five-story building, which is Building No. 3.

Previously, this was a large indoor basketball court.

It was later abandoned and no one uses it anymore; sometimes it's used as a warehouse.

Bai Yang wanted to keep his secret, and using this place for training was perfect.

Because he still had a trump card up his sleeve: telekinesis.

Although it's only at the level of an A-rank hero, it's enough to indirectly enhance one's combat power.

Unlike telekinesis, this ability does not require a medium to act directly on the human body.

After getting used to it for a while, Bai Yang slowly took to the air, supported by his own mental power.

The Monster King's amazing comprehension also clearly helped him in using telekinesis.

Before long, he was able to control himself and perform various flying maneuvers in the air at will.

This flexibility and convenience far surpasses that of ordinary mentalists.

Bai Yang unleashed all his mental power, this time dividing it into two layers and concentrating it on the soles of his feet and the ground.

With a slight push of his legs, he quickly slid out.

Between the two layers of mental energy, there is no matter and therefore no friction.

It was as if I was walking on an invisible track, and my body moved much faster.

By constantly replenishing the mental energy in the soles of the feet, as long as it is not depleted, one can always move as fast as a whirlwind and be extremely mobile.

Bai Yang quickly mastered this technique and eventually tried to imbue his weapon with telekinetic power to enhance its strength.

This is much more difficult because his sword speed is too fast.

Trying to catch up with that speed using one's own mental power, and maintaining that enhanced state to increase attack power, would naturally be much more troublesome.

However, it's only the beginning of July, so he has plenty of time to improve and get used to the game.

Take every opportunity to enhance your combat capabilities.
