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

Chapter 4 Conditions

Bai Yang slowly turned around and looked back.

Sure enough, not far away, I saw that familiar bald head.

Supervisor Geng, who was bald and somewhat overweight, was staring at him with a look of surprise.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Don't you know any manners when you see the supervisor? I'm asking you a question!"

Bai Yang was annoyed and said irritably, "Supervisor Geng, you! Hmm! I'm here on some business."

Supervisor Geng was quite surprised to hear that he was being so blunt and unceremonious, which was unusual for him. His eyebrows immediately rose, and his voice became louder.

"This is the Academic Affairs Office! What do you need me for? I..."

Bai Yang was about to retort when he suddenly heard Mei Xiaqing calling him from the third-floor stairwell:

"Bai Yang, come upstairs. War God Lu wants to see you."

He chuckled inwardly, then immediately called out loudly, "Sister Mei, Lieutenant Geng wants to speak to me. Could you wait a moment?"

Everyone on the second floor could hear these two sentences clearly.

Upon seeing Mei Xiaqing's attire, Supervisor Geng and the others couldn't help but look towards her shoulder, and the air instantly fell silent.

Mei Xiaqing frowned slightly, knowing that this kid was clearly trying to use someone else to do his dirty work.

Although she is meticulous, she is not inflexible; on the contrary, she is quite good at understanding her superiors' intentions.

Knowing how much War God Lu values ​​Bai Yang, a mere [Second Lieutenant] is not someone she needs to pay attention to.

Mei Xiaqing cleared her throat and said solemnly, "War God Lu and Principal Wei are waiting for you upstairs. Our time is precious."

Bai Yang answered loudly and jogged up the stairs, ignoring Supervisor Geng in front of him.

The entire second floor was silent. It was as if Supervisor Geng was poisonous, and the teachers and students around him subconsciously began to stay away from him.

Would anyone dare to impersonate a military rank in a military academy?

Anyway, they'd never heard of such a madman.

A second lieutenant in his early fifties and a major in his early twenties—life is cruel.

-

Bai Yang followed Mei Xiaqing silently. He had never been to the third floor of the Academic Affairs Office before.

Neither of them mentioned what had just happened; such a trivial matter was indeed insignificant to them.

Soon the two entered a small conference room, where two middle-aged men were sitting in the center.

Bai Yang recognized Principal Wei of the school, and stepped forward to greet him.

The other one, whom he had never seen before, must be "War God Lu".

Bai Yang took a closer look and saw that he had short, gray hair and was dressed in military uniform, exuding an air of authority without anger, typical of a soldier.

Mei Xiaqing naturally walked behind him, their expressions remarkably similar, making them look like a father and daughter from a distance.

Bai Yang stepped forward and greeted him, "Hello, War God Lu!"

Lu Ting held a few pages of report in his hand, looked at Bai Yang with satisfaction, and said, "He has reached the physical qualities of a martial artist at just 19 years old, that's fine."

Unexpectedly, your willpower and endurance are even more amazing. You ran at the limit for more than ten minutes without any aftereffects.

This shows you have a very strong foundation; I haven't seen a child with this level of ability for several years.

Principal Wei smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that I hadn't discovered such promising talents in our school. How come you noticed them as soon as you arrived, Old Lu?"

Lu Ting beamed, a hint of smugness in his voice: "Old Wei, you've been in the office too long. This kid's walking movements and posture are impeccable, it's become an unconscious instinct. How could his footwork be bad?"

"If you weren't observing them up close today, and instead stood on that platform watching them drill and line up every day, would you even be able to see this?"

Principal Wei sighed and nodded helplessly.

Lu Ting's words make sense. It's just that I was blind to talent and failed to discover it. I have no choice but to accept that he poached my talent.

However, as the principal of the top military academy in Jiangnan, he had to say a few words to save face, and he couldn't let Old Lu get too proud.

Principal Wei beckoned Bai Yang closer and said, "Bai Yang, remember this: you came from the top military academy in Jiangnan."

Bai Yang nodded immediately. Principal Wei was a good person and had a good reputation among the students. He had to give him this much face.

Seeing his sincere expression, Principal Wei decided to get down to business: "Although you've dropped out, I can bring you back anytime. Do you understand?"

Bai Yang naturally believed that this was just a matter of the principal's word.

Principal Wei then said with a smile, "So, you haven't gone to Kyoto yet, have you? Why not set some conditions for Old Lu? Like the War God Class or something, he'll have to show some sincerity."

Bai Yang's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "Principal, what is the War God Class?"

Lu Ting's face was already looking rather unpleasant, but Principal Wei pretended not to notice and said with a smile, "Since your surname is Bai, you must have heard of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's 'Elite Training Camp' from your family, right?"

Bai Yang nodded repeatedly. How could he not know about the "War God Reserve Camp," which was so crucial in the original work?

"The 'War God Class' at Kyoto's top martial arts school is just like our 'Elite Class.' It's specifically designed to select the best, except that it's set up to select students for the 'Elite Training Camp.'"

Bai Yang became somewhat excited. In the original story, the entire country of China had a population of over one billion, and only one person could be selected each year!

Entering this training camp guarantees a 90% chance of becoming a war god!

His foundation was so good that becoming a war god was not a problem at all, but the resources there were still very tempting.

It's also more convenient to travel to Australia from there, making it an unmissable gem in the early stages!

He remembered that the Chinese military did indeed have extra slots, and Luo Feng almost got rejected because of that.

If this "God of War Class" was established for the selection of spots next March, wouldn't he have a chance to directly obtain a spot?

He had been considering this matter before, but he had no clue what to do. He never expected that the opportunity would come like this!

Seeing his expression, Principal Wei knew he understood, and his smile became even brighter. He then said, "So, you need to think carefully about whether Old Lu is sincere or not."

Don't worry, I'll definitely guarantee you a minimum return.

Bai Yang nodded firmly, he would remember Principal Wei's favor!

At this moment, the pressure had shifted to Lu Zhanshen. Bai Yang observed his expression and noticed that his face was much darker than before.

Lu Zhanshen stared at Principal Wei with eyes that looked like they were about to spit fire!

This really hit a nerve!

According to Bai Yang's memory of the original work, even a planetary-level councilor was not qualified to decide the allocation of the "War God Battalion" slots.

Lu Zhanshen is just a war god, even if he is a high-level war god or even an invincible war god.

It wouldn't be easy for him to arbitrarily decide the admission qualifications for the "God of War Class".

I need to see carefully what he can actually offer.
