Swallowed Star: The Sacred Eye of Duplication

"What! Ayun, you want to drop out of school?!"

Wei Wen spat out the soda he had just taken a sip of and stared at Ye Yun in disbelief.

Seeing Luo Feng's equally puzzled expression, Ye Yun chuckled and said, "Well, I've made up my mind! I'll go to school with you guys now and complete the withdrawal procedures today!"

As he spoke, Ye Yun put his arms around Luo Feng and Wei Wen on both sides, and the three of them walked into the school together.

Luo Feng wasn't as surprised as Wei Wen. He was very observant and had keenly sensed the changes in Ye Yun since his recent experience and the classroom incident.

Luo Feng lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice, "Ayun, you're about to drop out of school to prepare for the college entrance examination. What are your plans for the future?"

Ye Yun patted Luo Feng's shoulder and looked up at the blue sky. "Ah Feng, you know my life story. My parents died in the beast tide, so I made up my mind from a young age that I must have the ability to protect myself and those I love! I plan to participate in the physical fitness assessment for prospective warriors on January 1st, and then join the Extreme Martial Arts Hall to become a warrior!"

After these words fell lightly, Wei Wen looked at Ye Yun with concern. He placed his right hand on Ye Yun's forehead and then said to Luo Feng beside him,

"It's over, it's over, Ayun's gone crazy. Afeng, do you think Ayun's brain got fried the last time he was unconscious?"

Ye Yun slapped Wei Wen's hand away in annoyance and then said, "Don't make trouble, Awen. I'm not kidding, and my brain hasn't been fried. I've already reached the physical fitness standard of a quasi-warrior!"

Unlike Wei Wen's reaction, Luo Feng didn't doubt Ye Yun's words for a second. He was just extremely surprised. He knew Ye Yun's strength, and yet he was still far from being a senior student. How could he suddenly have the physical fitness of a quasi-martial artist?

Seeing Wei Wen's disbelief and Luo Feng's doubts, Ye Yun knew that it was useless to say more, so he stretched out his right hand to Luo Feng.

"Come on! Afeng, let's compete in strength!"

Luo Feng's current punching power was about 800kg, so Ye Yun's move was meant to convince Luo Feng and the others with facts.

Luo Feng also extended his right hand and clasped it tightly with Ye Yun's. As Wei Wen counted down, both of them exerted force simultaneously. However, what shocked Luo Feng was the feeling that his right hand was gripping Kro alloy. No matter how much he increased his strength, Ye Yun's right hand felt completely unshakable.

'Drink!'

Luo Feng wasn't someone to admit defeat, so he immediately pushed all his strength into it. However, even so, he couldn't budge Ye Yun. Then, Luo Feng felt a huge force coming from his hand, and the next moment, he was pulled over to Ye Yun's side.

The two of them let go of each other's hands. After this competition, Luo Feng was finally able to confirm Ye Yun's strength.

"I actually don't know why this happened. The day before yesterday, I came back from the martial arts gym and fell into a coma again. When I woke up the next day, I felt the changes in my body. I'm not sure why."

Ye Yun had just finished speaking when he noticed Luo Feng's pupils shrink. He knew that Luo Feng must have figured something out, and his doubts were probably resolved.

Ye Yun rejected the teacher's request to stay and quickly completed the withdrawal procedures. Having no relatives, Ye Yun could make his own decisions about such matters.

After bidding farewell to Luo Feng and Wei Wen, Ye Yun went to the Extreme Martial Arts Gym alone to train. For the time being, his only goal before January 1st was to reach the physical fitness level of a mid-level warrior!

As for Luo Feng's development trajectory, Ye Yun had no intention of interfering. Luo Feng's first major change of mind came after his failure in the college entrance examination. This had positively influenced Luo Feng's path and increased his desire for strength, so Ye Yun would not try to persuade him to give up the college entrance examination.

In the following 20 days or so, aside from occasionally meeting with Wei Wen and Luo Feng, Ye Yun spent most of his time in the Extreme Martial Arts School, training relentlessly. During this period, he also became a senior student at the school, drawing some attention from the staff.

His physical fitness steadily improved over this short time. On December 30th, Ye Yun privately tested his full strength and finally reached the threshold of 2000kg!

For the three items that the prospective warriors had to assess, besides the fist strength test, Ye Yun was confident in the other two tests. His physical fitness had also improved simultaneously, and his speed was stable at over 40m/s. As a spiritualist, his nerve reaction speed was one of his strengths, reaching the perfection level for intermediate warriors and excellence for advanced warriors!

According to Ye Yun's plan, when the prospective warriors were assessed for their strength, he intended to only show enough physical fitness to pass the assessment, holding back his full strength. Once he passed and obtained the genetic energy cultivation method, he would then show his true power. In this way, he would inevitably be recognized as a genius by the martial arts hall, gaining higher attention and better training.

January 1, 2056.

Early in the morning, Ye Yun left the Nan'an Community and took Metro Line 11 to Zhong'an Road Station. He then transferred to Line 1 and arrived at the center of Yangzhou City. After exiting the subway station, he walked for another ten minutes before arriving at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, the headquarters of Yangzhou City.

It was just past six o'clock when Ye Yun left home, and by the time he arrived at his destination, it was nearly eight o'clock in the morning.

This tiring journey made Ye Yun reflect on his desire for strength. If he had planetary-level strength or an intelligent fighter, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

"Is this the Mingyue Community?"

At this point, Ye Yun stood outside the gate of a quiet community. The community was named "Mingyue Community," and the Extreme Martial Arts Hall was located inside it.

"Sir, this is Mingyue Community, please step back!"

At the entrance of the community, six soldiers in uniforms, armed with real guns, stood in a row. From their uniforms, it was clear that they weren't from the police system but from the military.

One of the soldiers shouted at Ye Yun, "Sir, please step back. If you cross the yellow line, we have the right to shoot!" Ye Yun was not at all surprised by the situation. He knew that Mingyue Community was the base of the Extreme Martial Arts School in Yangzhou City. It not only housed the Extreme Club but also the families of the martial artists under the school's care.

Thus, to ensure the safety of the warriors' families, the security at the gate was always very strict.

"Everyone." Ye Yun didn't step forward but spoke loudly, "I'm Ye Yun, a senior student at the Extreme Martial Arts School. I've come today to participate in the monthly assessment for prospective warriors!"

As he spoke, Ye Yun took out his ID card and the certificate for senior students at the Extreme Martial Arts School, holding them out.

"Oh?"

A gray-haired old man walked out of the guard lounge next to the community, holding a handheld computer in his hand, his face showing surprise. "Young man, you're here before eight o'clock. That's pretty early!"

The old man took the certificate Ye Yun handed over.

"Beep!"

The ID card and senior student card were swiped across the handheld computer, and several pieces of information appeared.

"Under 18?"

Although the old man had already guessed that Ye Yun must be very young based on his appearance, he was still a little surprised when he saw Ye Yun's actual age. He smiled and said, "At the age of 17, you're daring to take the quasi-warrior assessment. Not bad! I hope you pass today."

The old man waved to several soldiers and said, "Let him in."

Ye Yun saluted respectfully to the old man, and then, led by a soldier holding an assault rifle, walked toward the center of the community.

After Ye Yun walked away, the old man operated something on the PDA. After a while, a middle-aged man in black appeared on the screen.

"Uncle Wang, why are you looking for me suddenly? Is there something important?" The man in black smiled, but there was a hint of doubt in his voice.

"Jiang Nian, you've been managing the Yi'an District branch for the past few years. Have you been living too comfortably? You haven't paid any attention to your work at all!"

The person who was talking to the old man at this time was Jiang Nian, the owner of the Extreme Martial Arts School in Yian District, Yangzhou City, and also the owner of the martial arts school where Ye Yun was.

Jiang Nian was stunned by Wang Lao's question. He obviously didn't realize what was wrong. He grinned and said, "Uncle Wang, please stop playing dumb with me. What happened today?"

Elder Wang snorted and said, "Just now, a young senior student from the martial arts school came to Mingyue Community to participate in today's quasi-martial arts assessment. I verified his identity and found that he's from your martial arts school! How could you not have mentioned such an outstanding talent? Tell me, are you derelict in your duty?"

"Who is taking the quasi-martial arts exam today? Is it Yang Wu or Li Xue? That's not right. The martial arts school should be very familiar with their information. After all, they've been senior students for several years. Could it be Luo Feng?"

Jiang Nian was indeed a little surprised. He didn't participate in today's quasi-warrior assessment for some reasons, so he hadn't paid much attention to it. Jiang Nian also spent a lot of time thinking about several of his top students. Before today, he hadn't received any news that they would participate in the quasi-warrior assessment in January, so he could only make some guesses.

"Huh? Who is Luo Feng?" Wang Lao was very surprised not to hear the name he wanted. He seemed to be questioning Jiang Nian before, but in fact, he just thought Jiang Nian had hidden the news about Ye Yun and wanted to give them a surprise. Now, looking at Jiang Nian's performance, he truly didn't know about Ye Yun's situation.

Keeping in mind what Jiang Nian said about Luo Feng, Wang Lao stopped procrastinating and whispered, "It's not the ones you mentioned, but a senior student named Ye Yun. According to the information, he's not even 18 years old this year!"

"Ye Yun?!" Jiang Nian was genuinely surprised this time. He had guessed Luo Feng, which was as bold as he could. After all, Luo Feng had given him many surprises in the past two years. He just didn't expect that Ye Yun, who had just become a senior student in mid-December, would actually come to participate in this month's quasi-warrior assessment.

"Uncle Wang, the quasi-warrior assessment hasn't started yet. Wait for me, I'll be there right away!"

In addition to surprise and confusion, Jiang Nian also felt some anticipation. He had come into contact with Ye Yun several times in December. Although he was somewhat surprised that Ye Yun could become an advanced student before the age of 18, Jiang Nian still found it hard to believe that Ye Yun dared to take part in the quasi-warrior assessment so soon.

However, if Ye Yun really has the strength to become a warrior this time and can be truly accepted into the Extreme Martial Arts School, he, as the martial arts instructor who taught Ye Yun to grow, would also gain considerable benefits by relying on this relationship. This is why Jiang Nian was so excited after hearing the news from Old Wang.

After quickly hanging up the phone with Mr. Wang, Jiang Nian arranged the work at the martial arts gym and drove toward Mingyue Community.
