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

Chapter 76 War God Camp

A lake within the territory of Jiangnan Base City.

Before the Great Nirvana, this place was a famous tourist destination.

The aquatic crabs produced here are world-famous, and even people in China themselves can't get much of the real thing.

But after the Great Nirvana, these creatures also mutated, turning the place into a dangerous place.

Most martial artists are unwilling to deal with these aquatic monsters; they are dangerous and troublesome, a common problem.

But at this moment, Bai Yang took off running and sped across the lake.

The waves behind them surged up several meters high, scaring the crustacean monsters so much that they didn't dare to show their faces.

With his physical abilities, he could have easily performed this "walking on water" maneuver long ago.

Now he has gained some control over the water, and can truly see the water surface as flat ground.

Here, he can achieve two goals at once, simultaneously cultivating his understanding of two different laws.

The area is completely deserted, and satellites in the sky are prohibited from taking pictures by Huashan.

As soon as his spiritual power recovers even slightly, he immediately activates the power of the Spirit Realm Paddle to fly at a hundred times the speed, repeatedly seeking enlightenment.

Over the past five days, his understanding of speed has made rapid progress.

My understanding of the "laws of light" naturally increased.

On the shore, his servants prepared various foods for him, hoping to help Bai Yang recover his strength as quickly as possible.

In terms of speed of action alone, he is now on par with some planetary-level senators.

However, as one of the three subordinate laws of the law of time, the "Law of Light" is indeed very difficult to comprehend.

He still has a long way to go before he can fully comprehend the fundamental laws of light.

Although his "water affinity" was not as good as his "light affinity" during this period, his progress in the laws of water was actually greater.

Because the training environment is just too good!

He now spends his days walking on the lake, constantly getting close to the water.

He gained a lot from his instinctive insights, and in the evening he would enter the fourth floor of the Trial Tower to continue training.

The unique water pressure and flow here allow him to simultaneously perceive multiple aspects of the fundamental laws of water.

That poor low-level lord dragon turtle no longer poses any threat to him.

As long as he floats in the water, he doesn't need to dodge at all; he can use the ripples in the water to evade any of its attacks.

If this weren't a virtual space, the monster wouldn't be locked into its mission.

In reality, the real dragon turtle would have turned and run away the moment it saw him.

Bai Yang almost always used up his entire 60-minute task limit, and then finished it off in the last minute.

Both hands simultaneously unleashed nine swirling currents, carrying with them terrifying bubbles.

They would dismember or cut the dragon turtle into pieces, or sometimes fry it into minced meat.

Compared to a few days ago, when it could only create a mere whirlpool and required considerable effort to deal with, it is completely different now.

He enjoyed it so much that he would spend a lot of time in the Trial Tower every day.

With such intense cultivation and comprehension of the fundamental laws of water, it's impossible to slow down even a little.

If his attack power on the ground hadn't been directly boosted, he would have even considered challenging the fifth level again.

Time flew by, and soon it was January 2057, a new year had arrived!

Bai Yang was cultivating on the lake that day when Yang Wu suddenly contacted him through the mental network, saying that there was something important.

He then went ashore, and Yang Wu handed him his phone.

Bai Yang was slightly surprised; it was a rather formal email.

The sender is Hong!

He immediately opened it and saw that it was an invitation from Hong to go to Hongning Base City and join the War God Camp.

He also wanted to meet him in person and have a proper talk.

Bai Yang smiled slightly. It had been several days, and Hong finally couldn't hold back anymore.

Hong's idea was probably very simple: January and February are the months when the War God Camp cadets go home to visit their families.

When Bai Yang arrives at this time, the impact on various resources will be minimal.

He's been through a lot lately, so it's good if he can avoid some trouble.

The War God Camp still holds some value for Bai Yang, specifically the gravity chamber.

He could enter the Trial Tower from the entrance of the War God's Palace and challenge it as many times as he wanted each day.

He immediately sent a polite email in reply and arranged a time.

Then he led everyone back to Jiangnan Base City.

Early the next morning, a dark UFO-shaped fighter jet landed on the Bai family's helipad.

Bai Yang, Bai Pianyong, and Bai Sheng were all waiting on the rooftop.

A moment later, the hatch opened, and Inspector Liu walked out with a smile, greeting the three of them.

Bai Pianyong knew yesterday that it would be his superior who personally came to pick up his nephew and take him to the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

So I went home last night to prepare, and called my two nephews out early this morning to wait for me.

Inspector Liu was very approachable and politely interacted with the three of them, asking if they were comfortable and satisfied with the house.

Is there anything missing?

Anyone who didn't know better would think that he and Bai Pianyong weren't superior and subordinate, but rather old friends who had known each other for many years.

After exchanging pleasantries, Bai Yang followed him onto the flying saucer, which then took off and soared into the sky.

This is the private plane of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy; there's no need for it to take a commercial flight.

Bai Yang only sat in the UFO for less than an hour before they arrived at a certain place in West Asia.

Hongning Base City is right here!

The entire base city is very beautiful, with an architectural style that is completely inspired by ancient Chinese architecture, and pavilions and towers can be seen everywhere.

If it weren't for the slightly different climate, no one would be able to tell that this place is not actually within China's borders, but rather closer to Europe.

It's even more like China than Kyoto, the base city.

Inspector Liu's personal flying saucer landed directly inside the training camp.

Bai Yang followed him down, and as soon as they approached the main entrance, they saw a giant dragon sculpture.

The nearly fifty-meter-tall giant black dragon, with its enormous dragon eyes, instantly exerted an overwhelming aura of darkness.

Bai Yang knew that the eyes on the carving were genuine, and indeed came from a black dragon.

But it seems to have disappeared now; he had never seen it in any of the records about Mount Hua.

Upon closer inspection, the black scales of this giant black dragon are actually tiny display screens.

Each display screen has a name:

"NO.1 Renates Bridge (530321)"

"NO.2 Chu Qiang (540601)"

"NO.3 Eben Pass (520916)"

……

"NO.182 Jacqueline Bernard (570319)"

From top to bottom, each dragon scale bears a name, representing all 182 students.

At the very center of the entire training camp was a giant nine-story tower, which, though only nine stories high, was comparable to a twenty-story building.

He knew very well that this nine-story tower was called the "Nine-Story Tower".

That's where all the trainees study and train; some special training rooms, namely gravity chambers, are located there.

Bai Yang followed Inspector Liu all the way, preparing to first go to [Jiangnan Pavilion] to stay.

This is also where all the trainees from the Jiangnan base city live together.
