I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

Wu Tong was also amazed by Luo Yuan's growth. After all, it was too amazing for an 18-year-old high-level general. Soon, Zhuge Tao made contact with him. When he learned that Luo Yuan had become a high-level general, his eyes were full of surprise. He decided to report Luo Yuan's situation to his superiors.

Chapter 43 The Inspector Wang's High regard

The audiovisual room on the top floor of the Yangzhou Extreme Club.

“Luo Yuan, you are excellent, even surpassing any genius martial artist I have ever seen, but you still need to participate in more advanced training, such as the ‘Global Top-Tier Training’ at the Limit Martial Arts Academy. It will be a crucial step for you to become a War God.” Zhuge Tao’s holographic projection said earnestly to Luo Yuan.

"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Supervisor. I contacted you through Instructor Wu this time because I wanted you to help me buy some things. I will pay for them myself, since most things in the Limitless Family require a very high contribution level. Here is my list, please help me!" Luo Yuan bowed and asked.

"Haha, it's nothing. It's my honor to be able to buy things for our future war god. Hmm, let me take a look at your list."

When Zhuge Tao opened the list sent by Luo Yuan, his eyes widened in shock.

"This, this dragon blood, SS-grade equipment, Luo Yuan, are you kidding me? My contribution level isn't high enough!" Zhuge Tao said, frowning.

Luo Yuan was helpless. He knew things weren't that simple, but he had a plan. He directly showed everyone the balance of his international anonymous account.

"What? 1500 billion!" Wu Tong and Zhuge Tao, who were present, were shocked. After all, neither of them were war gods and their financial resources had not reached this level.

"Um, Luo Yuan, can you tell me where you got all this money?" Zhuge Tao asked solemnly.

"It's very simple. I accepted the mission to assassinate Li Yao's son, Li Wei, in the HR Alliance's mission area. And as you all know, I got 500 billion from the mission poster, and then I anonymously defrauded Li Yao and his wife of 1000 billion by claiming to know information about the murderer. That's it," Luo Yuan explained calmly.

Zhuge Tao and Wu Tong both gasped in shock after hearing Luo Yuan's words.

"You, you're really bold. That's quite a slick move," Zhuge Tao exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up.

"But I received information that the mysterious murderer who killed Li Wei might be a psychic, right?" Zhuge Tao asked, puzzled.

Luo Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Haha, don't doubt it, because I am a mentalist!"

As soon as Luo Yuan finished speaking, six 9-series throwing knives flew out from his waist and then hovered in front of him, looking mysterious and powerful.

"Holy crap, am I dreaming?" Wu Tong exclaimed in shock.

Zhuge Tao was also stunned for a moment, but he was a man of the world and quickly calmed down. His expression was serious, and he knew that this was no longer something he could decide.

"Luo Yuan, your situation is too special. I'll contact my good friend Yang Hui, the God of War, at headquarters right now. He has the authority to contact Inspector Wang. Please wait a moment." After saying this, Zhuge Tao temporarily logged off, leaving Luo Yuan and Wu Tong looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Luo Yuan, you're quite something, you've been hiding it really well." Wu Tong stepped forward and lightly punched Luo Yuan's shoulder, his shock still lingering. Luo Yuan just smiled awkwardly; he wasn't as good at hiding his abilities as Luo Feng.

About twenty minutes later, three figures suddenly appeared in the virtual 3D projection. On the left was Zhuge Tao; in the middle was a lean man wearing a Tang suit, who looked to be nearly forty years old at first glance. He was fiddling with Buddhist prayer beads, but his eyes were exceptionally sharp, and even though it was just a projection, one could feel his powerful aura; on the right was a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe, who looked to be only in his thirties, with a cold and stern expression.

"Luo Yuan, let me introduce you. The one in the middle is Inspector Wang, and the one on the right is War God Yang Hui." Zhuge Tao respectfully introduced the identities of the other two people.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tong and Luo Yuan immediately straightened their posture and bowed slightly. This Inspector Wang was a planetary-level figure, second only to Hong in status.

"You are Luo Yuan?" A deep, hoarse voice came from the inspector. He carefully examined Luo Yuan, especially the throwing knife floating in front of him.

“Yes, Inspector.” Luo Yuan replied respectfully.

"You're quite good, an 18-year-old high-level warrior, and a mentalist at that. You're qualified to join the elite training camp I'm in charge of. I can order that what you've done be kept secret, but as for what you want to buy, after you join the elite training camp, I can sign a contract with you. If your combat power amplification reaches 16 before January 1, 2060, you will receive an SS-level combat uniform, a complete set of weapons, a single unit of dragon blood worth 80 billion, a complete set of any three secret manuals, and a set of the ancient civilization relic 'Black God'." Inspector Wang said calmly.

"Well, I've offended Mr. and Mrs. Li Yao, and I feel insecure. Could you help me buy just one portion of dragon blood? I'll pay for it myself. As for the conditions you mentioned, I'll do my best to meet them once I get to the elite training camp."

Luo Yuan persisted, because he knew that the dragon blood was only effective for those below the planetary level, and even a high-level war god could not break through to the planetary level by consuming it. However, his current strength had already reached the peak of the initial war god level, and he could directly reach the peak of the high-level war god level by consuming the dragon blood, which would save him a lot of time, since things would become increasingly dangerous later on.

"Alright, since you insist, I'll use my authority to buy you a portion of this dragon blood. You only need to pay 500 billion, and I'll cover the rest." Inspector Wang softened his tone. This young man in front of him might surpass him in strength in the future, and he wanted to forge a good relationship with him.

"Thank you, Inspector." Luo Yuan bowed again.

"Well, besides you, we also need to recruit other talents. You're a special case and can be directly admitted ahead of time. The others will have to take a test. When the time comes, War God Yang Hui will contact you directly and bring you to the elite training camp. Little guy, get ready." Inspector Wang said with a slight smile, while War God Yang Hui on the right also cast a friendly glance at Luo Yuan.

"Okay, I'll wait for good news," Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Beep~" The virtual 3D projection device shut down, and the three figures slowly disappeared.

"Luo Yuan, no, from now on I should call you War God Luo Yuan. After you receive the Dragon Blood and break through to the War God level, you must come back to visit often," Wu Tong said with some emotion.

"Of course, but Chief Instructor Wu, please keep this a secret for me, okay?" Luo Yuan said.

"I will keep it a secret. Inspector Wang just said he would issue a gag order, and I dare not disobey," Wu Tong quickly assured him.

Luo Yuan just smiled; he knew he was being a little too cautious.

Over the next few days, Luo Yuan returned to the Limitless Hall and resumed his daily routine of collecting attributes. However, he found that the attributes here had little effect on him. On the contrary, his proficiency with the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade increased somewhat. To his surprise, Luo Feng had reached the third level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade after practicing his swordsmanship in the wilderness area. He had to admit that Luo Feng was indeed a genius. So, whenever he had free time, he would collect Luo Feng's proficiency with the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade under the guise of sparring with him. He was also about to break through to the third level.

Chapter 44 Peak of High-Level War God

One week later, in the early morning, at villa number 200 in Mingyue Residential Area, Yangzhou.

Luo Yuan finally received a portion of dragon blood, delivered by War God Yang Hui and a high-ranking War God he didn't recognize. Their actions were extremely secretive, which showed how much Inspector Wang valued and protected Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan took the dragon blood directly to the basement of his villa, a place that was both private and safe, with excellent soundproofing.

The lights illuminated the entire secret room.

Luo Yuan placed the combination lock box in the corner. It was a fingerprint combination lock box. Luo Yuan swiped his finger across it, and with a click, the combination lock box opened.

The combination lock box wasn't large; inside was a wooden box secured with soft padding.

click!

The wooden box was opened, revealing a test tube secured with foam and sealed with a stopper. Inside the test tube was golden blood, which occupied more than a third of the tube's volume.

"This is dragon blood, dragon blood worth 800 billion?" Luo Yuan carefully removed the foam, then carefully picked up the test tube, afraid of breaking it.

Under the lights, the golden blood was mesmerizing.

Luo Yuan also took out a user manual from the wooden box; this service is really thoughtful.

……

In the underground chamber, Luo Yuan lay flat on the ground, then gently pulled out the stopper from the test tube containing dragon blood in his left hand.

Suddenly, a peculiar smell filled the underground chamber. Just smelling this smell and inhaling it made Luo Yuan feel a tingling sensation throughout his body, as if he were cultivating genetic energy.

"Dragon Blood!" Luo Yuan tilted the test tube slightly and poured the dragon blood onto his chest.

Dragon blood has a high viscosity, resembling mercury.

Luo Yuan immediately smeared the dragon blood with his left and right hands, and quickly wiped it on his bare upper body.

As soon as he applied the oil, Luo Yuan felt his upper body and arms begin to heat up, which felt somewhat like the Indian herbal oil he had used in his previous life.

Gradually, he felt streams of heat flowing along the dragon blood on his skin, rapidly merging into his body and coursing through every part of his body—his legs, hands, back, chest, head, and so on. Moreover, this heat intensified, and the dragon blood on the skin's surface could be seen rapidly diminishing, as if it were penetrating deeper into the skin.

The heat flow keeps getting stronger!

The temperature keeps rising!

A tingling, numb, and painful sensation washes over you!

Every part of the body, even the head!

It's so hot! It feels like you're being burned alive.

It's so tingling, it makes you want to scratch yourself to death!

Pain! Pain that penetrates to the bone, causing spasms.

"Holy crap! That hurts!"

Sweat rolled down Luo Yuan's forehead. His whole body was writhing, his muscles were twitching, his heart was racing, and the blood flow in his body was constantly increasing.

Heartbeat sound...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Each heartbeat felt like a heavy drumbeat in my ears, growing louder and louder until I lost consciousness!

Luo Yuan's consciousness returned to his sea of ​​consciousness, where he saw that the lake within it was expanding rapidly, showing signs of becoming an ocean. The surging waves rose dozens of meters high, and he stood on the water like a small boat. He never imagined that his spiritual power had become so astonishing.

The next day at noon, Luo Yuan woke up to find his entire body covered in filth, black all over, even his face. He opened his eyes and casually got up, moved his arms slightly, and then rubbed his body vigorously with his left hand, instantly rubbing away the black filth to reveal his bronze skin.

Is this the legendary cleansing of the marrow and essence? His bronze skin also gives Luo Yuan a wild, masculine aura, with a philosophical flavor. It seems that this is just a small side effect of the dragon blood.

With a thought, he opened his attribute panel.

Name: Luo Yuan

Strength: Apprentice level (Advanced War God)

Strength: 519000kg

Speed: 800 m/s

Defense: 519000 kg

Spiritual weight: 519000 kg

Evasion Technique: Perfect Level

Technique: Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method, Guiding Technique 'Ninefold Chaotic Origin' (Third Level)

Skills: Movement technique 'Flowing Light' (Third Level), Sword technique 'Thunder Blade' (Third Level)

Note: 1. You can pick up attribute bubbles directly using your mental power, or use them for exploration. Currently, both methods can be used within a radius of 10,000 meters.

2. It can help the host comprehend and create a sword technique.

"Is this the peak of advanced War God? And the range of picking up attribute bubbles and the range of exploration have been expanded tenfold." Luo Yuan muttered to himself, somewhat incredulous. The effect of this dragon blood was simply heaven-defying. He had indeed directly advanced from the peak of primary War God to the peak of advanced War God.

"It feels like flying!" Luo Yuan came out of the bathroom, feeling an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body.

Luo Yuan went to the audio-visual room and started browsing martial arts forums and online stores. He directly purchased the fourth and fifth levels of the "Nine-fold Thunder Blade" technique. Even at half price, it only cost him one billion Chinese yuan, although his contribution level had donated a lot of money to him.

Looking at his current martial arts level of Advanced Warrior, Luo Yuan felt that it might be a bit risky. After all, this would make it easy for Li Yao and his wife to suspect him. After all, that Vulture Li Yao had the Black God Set with extremely abnormal defensive power, and he also had a group of friends who were Advanced Warriors. However, as long as he didn't go out and cause trouble, even if they suspected him, they couldn't do anything about it. He would kill them once his strength increased further.

Luo Yuan did not participate in the Fire Hammer Squad's missions after that. Gao Feng and the others understood why. They just felt it was a pity, after all, Luo Yuan's combat power was too amazing. If he were there, who would the Fire Hammer Squad be afraid of?

For the next three months, Luo Yuan treated it as a vacation. Aside from visiting the Extreme Gym to collect various attributes and proficiency points, he spent his time cultivating in his villa. His skin returned to normal, still as fair and clear as ever. With the system's help, he even created a sword technique called "Overlord Blade," consisting of three forms: Heaven-Opening, Earth-Splitting, and World-Destroying. The name was quite domineering, but its current power was only at the peak of the ninth rank of Apprentice. Fortunately, however, this sword technique was one with growth potential.

One evening.

"Beep beep beep~" Suddenly Luo Yuan's phone rang. It was Gao Feng calling.
