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

Chapter 5's Gift

Bai Yang and Principal Wei looked at Lu Ting together, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Even Principal Wei's expression was more fervent than Bai Yang's own.

Trying to steal my customers? I'll make sure you get what's coming to you this time!

Lu Zhanshen's heart skipped a beat, knowing that this time things would not end well.

He had already submitted the documents for Bai Yang's forced transfer application. If he withdrew them now, he would inevitably become a laughing stock at the Kyoto First Military Academy.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "Bai Yang, what are your own thoughts?"

Their voices were lower than before.

Bai Yang seemed embarrassed and said hesitantly, "I don't know anything. I'll just listen to War God Lu..."

Principal Wei coughed lightly, about to speak.

"However, I have a small request..." he continued.

Lu Ting quickly ignored Principal Wei and hurriedly said, "It's okay if you have requests! We can discuss it. Tell me what you want."

Bai Yang said, "War God Lu, I don't want to go to Kyoto Base City for the time being."

Lu Ting was slightly taken aback, exchanged a surprised glance with Principal Wei, and asked, "How can this be? The selection for the War God Camp is next March."

At Kyoto First Military Academy, everyone, even those not in the "War God Class," is training like crazy. You think you can just take a summer vacation?

Bai Yang nodded and said, "I can't go to Kyoto before September because there are some things at home that are really inconvenient for me to go."

Just as Lu Ting was about to speak, Mei Xiaqing suddenly pointed to the character "Bai" in the name column of the report.

He suddenly realized, gave Bai Yang a deep look, and said, "The Bai family is one of the twelve Chinese families in the HR Alliance. They may not be very capable, but they have a lot of business to do."

As a member of a branch of the Bai family, you haven't enjoyed any benefits, but you've had plenty of trouble. Alright, whatever you say. Just don't regret wasting these two months later.

How could he possibly regret it?

In the next two months, he not only needs to get closer to Luo Feng, but also needs to go into the wilderness area alone.

There, he will recklessly absorb the genes of various monsters and frantically strengthen himself.

The "God of War Class" was at most a stepping stone for him to obtain a spot in the God of War Camp, and it wasn't worth putting any effort into it.

Bai Yang thanked Lu Ting for his understanding and then said, "During this time, I want to study at home. Once I officially pass the martial arts combat assessment, could you allow me to connect to the [China Military Network] in the Jiangnan base city?"

Lu Ting readily agreed, "Of course. Every military academy student has this right. Don't worry, the special discounts and contribution points for students of the Kyoto First Military Academy can be given to you directly."

I'll add another 30 million to your quota. Just contact Lieutenant Mei when that happens.

Principal Wei was slightly surprised, and chuckled, "Why are you being so generous this time? You didn't even need me to provoke you?"

Bai Yang was also very grateful, saying, "Thank you so much, War God Lu! Our military academy already offers much cheaper access to guiding techniques and various secret manuals compared to other organizations. This 30 million is more useful than 100 million for other organizations; it's truly invaluable!"

Lu Ting waved his hand dismissively, indicating that it was nothing.

The prestigious Kyoto Military Academy cannot be outdone by the mere Bai family; talent is something that must be fought for!

Lu Mei and her companion seemed to be very busy. After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Principal Wei, they got up to take their leave.

Before leaving, Mei Xiaqing added Bai Yang's chat number, indicating that she could contact him if needed.

A short while later, a blue flying saucer soared into the sky behind the white building of the Academic Affairs Office and instantly left Jiangnan Base City.

The enormous sonic boom it emitted resounded for miles around, and countless people witnessed this sight.

Bai Yang accompanied Principal Wei downstairs, and the two chatted and laughed along the way, exchanging personal contact information.

To an uninformed person, it truly appears to be a picture of a loving grandfather and a virtuous grandson enjoying a harmonious life.

This scene was immediately witnessed by many people, and the internal forum of the top military academy in Jiangnan was already in an uproar.

Bai Yang, of course, wouldn't pay attention to such trivial matters at this point, and after saying goodbye to the principal...

Holding the medical examination reports in his hand, he walked towards Cafeteria No. 1, becoming happier and happier as he looked at them.

His speed was an astonishing 26.9 m/s! Far exceeding the standard of 25 m/s for a quasi-martial artist!

The neural response test also met the standard.

The only thing he lacks in punching power is that he is actually "hungry," and once he has been given food, he will probably be able to satisfy his hunger immediately.

His strength increased so much overnight that it was simply unbelievable.

What Lu Ting and Principal Wei valued more was his moves and perfect execution.

Bai Yang knew very well that this must be the result of his current S-level swordsmanship and the running posture he had just mastered.

This all stems from his current level of understanding!

What level is his current movement technique?

Luo Feng attracted so much attention back then with his incredibly subtle movements.

This is something that no instrument can really test; only true experts can make a judgment on it.

Only Bai Yang himself knew that he had never actually practiced any movement techniques for a single day!

These results are all thanks to the ten-odd minutes of running this morning!

There is still more than a month until the practical assessment on August 1st!

He can find all sorts of videos to watch and learn from!

How far can he improve during the actual assessment?

Subtle level? Perfect level? Artistic level?

"Since the contract will have to be rewritten anyway, why should I waste my breath today?"

Principal Wei granted him special privileges; although he had dropped out of school, he retained his current benefits such as a meal card and dormitory accommodation.

Soon he arrived at Cafeteria No. 1. This time he was prepared to have a big meal, until he couldn't swallow anymore. The hunger of ordinary humans was no longer suitable for him.

The characteristic of military academy canteens is that they are self-service and open, so the students don't have to pay for their own meals.

Bai Yang frequently moved between seats and different food shelves, hoping to avoid attracting attention.

What he didn't know was that he had now become a celebrity.

It's unknown how many people are secretly watching him, and some female students are even secretly taking pictures of him from various angles with their phones.

Wow! He's so handsome in person!

"Junior Bai, how can you eat so much? I'm not very good at cooking..."

"What are you gushing about?! What makes you assume that Junior Bai will allow you to cook?"

"He's about 1.85 meters tall, right? You're only 1.56 meters. Your body sizes don't match at all! You'll never be compatible in the future!"

How could you say something like that?! Have you no shame?!

"Cement seals our hearts! No one can betray our dorm! Didn't you all promise to be my beloved concubines?!"

Although they were military academy students, the group chattered incessantly, and their voices were often somewhat jarring.

After evolving, Bai Yang became sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, and quickly sensed that something was wrong.

He opened the forum to check out the most popular posts of the day, while continuing to eat the food in front of him.

Sure enough, my day's schedule consisted of nothing more than conversations in the meeting room.

It was almost completely investigated and posted on the forum!

Just then, he suddenly felt a jolt throughout his body, and his body began to heat up.

He's full!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, your strength has reached the [Apprentice Level], contributing to the cause of protecting Earth!"

Earth points +2!

Simulation count +1!

System upgrade in progress...

Bai Yangteng stood up abruptly and rushed towards his dormitory.

He completely ignored the female classmates who finally mustered up the courage to walk towards him!

Get out of the way! I'm busy right now!
