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

Chapter 314 Morrow's Acting Skills

"His acting is quite good; he can definitely fool a lot of people."

Bai Yang found Moro's inexplicable enthusiasm amusing, but outwardly showed no sign of anything amiss.

Instead, he acted completely normally, his expression a mixture of confusion and delight, and asked in surprise:

"Hello, Moro."

"Did you need something from me?"

Moro nodded firmly, radiating a sunny and sincere aura that instantly increased people's goodwill towards him.

"Yes! Ever since I learned that you were in Chaos City, you have passed through the eighth level of the Bridge to Heaven."

I don't know how many people want to get to know you, but many of them haven't had the chance.

After I finished my mission, I knew you had returned to the Primal Realm, so I came here immediately.

Bai Yang laughed:

"That's nothing. Let's sit down first."

After saying that, he sat down on a sofa in the reception room.

Moro then sat back down in his original seat and continued, seemingly excitedly:

"That's amazing! Bai Yang, you probably don't know that."

On the eighth level of the Skybridge, among the company's cosmic-level members, only Fitu has passed this level.

This is actually the level of a member of the Primal Secret Realm Domain Lord.

That alone makes you the center of attention!

Bai Yang recalled the situation back then, realizing he was only a hair's breadth away from clearing the ninth level.

As for now, he is far stronger than he was back in Chaos City.

"I see. This guy only knows that I didn't clear the ninth floor, but he doesn't know the details of the battle."

This is my personal privacy. Those who have witnessed my actual combat are all cosmic masters; how could I possibly tell such a nobody?

Once Bai Yang understood this, he immediately got it straight.

Based on common sense, Moro believed that as a newcomer, he was not as strong as the veteran Fito.

So I thought I'd come and see if there was any opportunity for me to take advantage of.

Bai Yang instantly saw through the other party's pretense of being a fanboy, and found it very interesting, wanting to see what tricks this guy could come up with.

"Bai Yang, do you know?"

I was born into slavery and never received a formal education, so I envy knowledgeable people the most.

I've heard that you and Luo Feng both come from the same native planet and don't have many resources.

It's been incredibly difficult for us to get this far!

Many people say you are a peerless genius in the field of mechanical engineering, achieving your current success through scientific methods.

So, even though you're much younger than me, I admire you immensely!

Moro's eyes were shining as he spoke, and his words were sincere and heartfelt.

Unfortunately, they are in reality now, and Bai Yang can detect them through various means such as heartbeat, pupils, and smell.

He immediately saw through his lie; in reality, he was completely calm. This was pure acting.

"Wow, that's impressive. If it weren't for my perception and prior knowledge of the plot, I might have been skeptical."

Luo Feng's loss was well-deserved.

"Haha, you're exaggerating."

We're all friends, let's improve together from now on! Hahaha!

Bai Yang quickly expressed his modesty, while appropriately revealing an expression that was both excited and genuinely happy.

They've taken the bait!

Moro was overjoyed. As expected, he was a guy who had just come from an indigenous planet and hadn't seen much of the world.

Just a few compliments and they'll get carried away.

Two geniuses on one planet, this guy must have obtained some kind of powerful mechanical inheritance!

If it can be used on Luo Feng, then why can't I?

Moro immediately launched into another round of effusive praise, directly hailing Bai Yang as the number one genius across countless eras.

From then on, he followed his lead without question and was absolutely committed to advancing and retreating together with him.

"Brother, don't look down on me for being weak. After all this time, I'm only at the level of the seventh level of the Heavenly Bridge."

As he spoke, Moro looked bitter and seemed quite self-conscious.

"How could that be? Your ability to enter the Primal Secret Realm means you're a genius in the entire universe."

Bai Yang quickly tried to comfort him, seemingly afraid that his new friend would misunderstand and that he would be saddened by his own sadness.

"You may not know this, but I created my own style called 'Beast Fist'."

Unfortunately, I created this secret technique too early, and many parts are still imperfect.

So my skills have been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time.

Moro sighed.

Bai Yang sneered inwardly, "Here it comes!"

On the surface, however, he asked with great concern:

"Is there a problem? Even an immortal mentor can't solve it?"

Moro nodded slowly, looking disheartened.

"My strength is far inferior to yours, brother. I'll definitely be kicked out of the Primal Secret Realm in the next qualifying battle."

What a pity! I wish I could stay by your side and learn from you.

Why is it so difficult for us cultivators from humble backgrounds!

Overcome with emotion, he slammed his fist down on the sofa, instantly destroying the valuable piece of furniture.

He seemed to suddenly realize his mistake and quickly apologized for it.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I got too excited!"

Brother, I'll definitely make it up to you, please don't take it to heart.

Bai Yang quickly said no, but Mo Luo insisted.

After giving in to each other for a while, they finally decided that they should each "take a step back".

Moro compensated Bai Yang for the furniture, and Bai Yang helped Moro take a look at "Beast Fist" and analyze whether there were any areas for improvement.

Both of them felt they had succeeded and were filled with smiles.

"Haha, those mechanical guys think they're so smart, and they love to lecture others."

I'll cry my heart out again in a bit, and you'll be sure to get some real insights out of me.

This is just the beginning; sooner or later, I'll get all your secrets out!

"Hehe, my 'New Beast Fist' has been stagnant for a long time."

"This kind of free lunch is too good to pass up."

In the past, Bai Yang would simply beat up his enemies.

Occasionally, I find it quite amusing to engage in a battle of wits with others.

The two walked side by side toward the training ground, their atmosphere extremely harmonious, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Soon they arrived outside the mansion, on a spacious lawn.

"Brother, I'll make a fool of myself."

If there's anything wrong, please feel free to point it out.

Moro stepped onto the field and immediately unleashed a set of punches.

Instantly, a fierce wind swept across the entire field, its power radiating outwards.

"That makes sense. No wonder King Zhenyan thinks highly of him."

Bai Yang, being a clear-headed observer, offered a relatively neutral assessment.

Each move of this "Beast Fist" contains profound laws, and its power is indeed much stronger than Bai Yang's "New Beast Fist," which he didn't put much effort into.

His movements could affect the entire surrounding space, even influencing the power of the fundamental laws.

This is a pure combat technique, extremely practical in real combat.

Soon, a phantom of a ferocious beast, about thirty meters long and with four hooves, gradually appeared on Moro's body.

His strength increased dramatically in an instant!

"The secret technique is roughly equivalent to the sixth level of the Divine Weapon [The Body is the Sword], but it's not used very well."

No wonder I can't get past the eighth level of the Heavenly Bridge; I'm still a long way off!

Bai Yang thought to himself, while memorizing all of his moves.
