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

Chapter 8 Getting to Know Huashan

Bai Yang, looking relaxed, stepped into the circle and stood ready to be bombarded with red light and bullets.

Like Luo Feng, he was actually more skilled in movement techniques.

Because punching power and speed actually depend on physical attributes.

Body movement, on the other hand, relies more on the accuracy and perfection of movements, as well as the ability to calculate the trajectory of moving objects.

The muzzles of the test machine began to spin rapidly, and dozens of gun barrels almost instantly emitted streaks of red light.

These beams of light moved at bizarre speeds, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and their flight paths were completely unpredictable.

In addition, the dense barrage of rubber bullets makes dodging extremely difficult.

All those who had tried to dodge within such a small circle inevitably swayed left and right, jumped high and low, and their expressions and movements were somewhat awkward.

Compared to them, Bai Yang seemed to be playing a completely different game.

He would occasionally tilt his head, lift his leg, or shift his waist slightly to avoid various attacks.

It was as if all the attacks were actively coordinated with his movements, creating a great sensory illusion.

Has the attack speed slowed down?

Even though the onlookers knew that the instrument could not possibly malfunction suddenly, they couldn't help but have the same thought when they saw him so relaxed and carefree.

Only those with broader knowledge, such as Wu Tong and Jiang Nian, understood what this meant.

But I don't dare to say anything before the results are in.

Sixty seconds passed quickly, and Bai Yang dusted off his clothes and walked out of the circle.

A long string of numbers appeared on the screen, the meaning of which only a few instructors could understand.

After a moment, Wu Tong forced a smile and announced, "0 hits within 60 seconds, no contact with the red light. Perfect!"

"At least a 'perfect-level movement technique'!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Nian's suspicions were finally confirmed.

Uncle Bai's nephew is so amazing! He's really tight-lipped!

Looking at Bai Yang in front of him, so calm and composed, completely at ease.

Luo Feng suddenly remembered something his teacher had said before the college entrance exam: "Some people get a perfect score, but that's because there's only 100 points available!"

"Bai Yang!" Wu Tong frowned. "I advise you, in the future when fighting monsters, try to dodge as far away as possible. Give yourself room to maneuver. Even a perfect-level movement technique can't be flawless; you're playing with fire!"

Bai Yang smiled and nodded without refuting, then turned to greet each examiner with a friendly nod.

"【Perfect-level movement technique】What is that? I never imagined there could be such a powerful movement technique. There really are always people more skilled than you!"

Seeing this scene, Luo Feng's heart was immediately stirred.

It was truly a first for him to have someone surpass him in his strongest area among his peers.

Seeing Bai Yang's friendly greeting, she quickly responded, feeling a bit more favorably disposed towards him.

"If only I knew how this was trained."

Soon everyone else finished their tests, and their results were mediocre.

Seeing that Bai Yang completely ignored him, Wu Tong could only announce: "Alright, in this preliminary martial arts assessment, three people have passed: Luo Feng, Bai Yang, and Yang Wu."

At this moment, a silver-haired man in a black robe who had been standing on the edge suddenly walked over and glanced at the three of them.

Just like in the original story, they immediately regained consciousness when facing the mental master Luo Feng, while Bai Yang and Yang Wu appeared somewhat dazed.

For Bai Yang, this is also the biggest challenge of the day!

Can a subconscious scan using mental power uncover the secrets of his mental abilities?

If anything is found to be inappropriate, he is prepared to move out of Lu Ting immediately.

He will leave the base city and become a wild cultivator, returning to human society only after breaking through to the planetary level.

He was uncertain even before it actually happened!

Fortunately, he succeeded!

His mental power could not break through the defense of his telekinetic power. Under his deliberate control, he neither retaliated nor showed any unusual behavior, behaving exactly like an ordinary person.

The rest of the story is the same as in the original novel: the three of them signed a contract for a practical assessment and will participate on August 1st.

At the same time, Jiang Nian formally taught them the "Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method." As for the most precious "Guiding Technique," they would only be able to obtain it after they became martial artists and joined the Limit Martial Arts Academy or the army.

After finishing all their business, the three met at the entrance of Mingyue Residential Area.

"My name is Bai Yang, and I'm from the top military academy in Jiangnan. My hometown is Yangzhou, and since it's summer vacation, I came here for the assessment."

Bai Yang extended his hand and shook hands with Luo Feng and Yang Wu respectively, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you two."

Luo Feng smiled and said, "My name is Luo Feng, and this is Yang Wu. We are both from the Yi'an District Extreme Martial Arts Academy."

Yang Wu, standing nearby, laughed and said, "It's fate that the three of us passed the test on the same day and in the same place. Today is an auspicious day, let's find a restaurant together for a good meal and have a good chat."

Bai Yang's demonstrated strength and potential were astonishing, and Yang Wu was several years older than them.

Having weathered the storms of society, why wouldn't you take the opportunity to make connections?

"Okay," Bai Yang replied with a smile.

"Let's go." Luo Feng laughed heartily.

The three exchanged contact information and discussed having a nice meal together.

Bai Yang laughed and said, "Then take my car. It's convenient to go anywhere."

Luo Feng and Yang Wu looked behind him and saw a high-end sports car with a futuristic look parked there, which he had specially asked Mei Xiaqing to prepare for him.

"Military license plate? This is a military vehicle? Why is there a 'Hua' character on the body? And a mountain?" Luo Feng was surprised; he had never seen a vehicle like this before.

Yang Wu was also completely unaware of the situation, but just by looking at the car, he knew that Bai Yang was not only quite capable, but also likely had a powerful background. This gave him a surge of joy.

All three were locals, so they found a well-known local restaurant and had a good meal.

Bai Yang, Luo Feng, and Yang Wu were all eager to get to know each other, so the atmosphere was naturally very harmonious.

Soon after, Luo Feng asked if Bai Yang could give him some pointers on his movement techniques if he had the time.

Bai Yang laughed and said, "I don't think you're that far off, Luo Feng. It's just that you were focused on preparing for the martial arts assessment before, so you didn't have time to train specifically."

However, I still have some things to do at school. If you can come to the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan, you are welcome to train with me anytime.

Luo Feng and Yang Wu were overjoyed and immediately said that once the quasi-martial artist certificates were issued and they could freely travel to and from the main city, they would definitely come over to bother them!

The meal was incredibly enjoyable, and after a few drinks, the three of them became much closer.

Bai Yang used driving as an excuse, but didn't drink a drop.

During this time, Luo Feng left the private room and remembered that he needed to make a phone call home.

The plot is finally here!

Sure enough, a moment later, Luo Feng suddenly rushed back to the private room with red eyes, apologizing to the two of them: "Something happened to my dad! I have to leave immediately! I'm sorry!"

Bai Yang had been prepared for this, and all his preparations today were for this moment. He said, "Is it far? I'll drive you."

Just as Luo Feng was about to refuse, he added, "My car is special; it's 'Mount Hua.' No police will dare to stop it. No matter how fast you go in the city, you can't outrun this car. Let's go!"

Bai Yang's car looked impressive, and Luo Feng immediately believed it to be 70-80% true.

Given his good intentions, how could I possibly refuse?

My father, Luo Hongguo, might be in danger, so of course we should go there as soon as possible.

He wasn't a sentimental person; he simply kept the matter in mind, but he felt a greater fondness for Bai Yang.
