Swallowing the Stars: Starting with Optimizing the Five Hearts Towards the Sky

Chapter 47 Heading to the Ruins

After emerging from the virtual universe, Chen Yuan took a shower to wash away the black grime expelled from his body's transformation. After dressing properly, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and dialed Jiang Fang's number.

"What? You need to take another day off!" Jiang Fang asked in surprise on the other end of the phone. "What are you going to do this time?"

"Teacher Jiang, my strength is already at the intermediate level of War God. I will soon be able to break through to the Planetary level by consuming the Wood Crystal," Chen Yuan said on the phone. "I want to take advantage of the time before breaking through to the Planetary level to visit the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins."

Indeed, after Chen Yuan's investigation over this period of time, he learned that the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relics is still open and is still producing the 'Black God Set' continuously.

"What?! Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9?!" Jiang Fang's tone became noticeably serious. "Why did you think of going there? You should know that ruin is not 100% safe. Even a War God-level martial artist would have at least a 30% chance of dying if they went in."

"I know the risks, Teacher Jiang, but I have a compelling reason to go." Chen Yuan said firmly. "Besides, my Gale Sword Technique is already perfected; you should know what that means."

"The Gale Sword Technique is perfected..." Jiang Fang repeated softly. As Chen Yuan's instructor, she knew very well what kind of strength the perfected Gale Sword Technique represented.

With a powerful attack force five times stronger and a speed comparable to a planetary-level agility, Chen Yuan has reached the limit in every aspect at the apprentice level. Even on Earth today, few people can achieve such a configuration.

According to Jiang Fang's assessment, even if Luo Hai were to unleash his full power now, he might not be a match for Chen Yuan.

Therefore, Chen Yuan told her this to demonstrate that his strength was sufficient to overcome any dangers within the ruins.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Fang agreed to the holiday.

"Then could you please do me another favor, teacher? Could you please make an appointment with the martial arts school for me to enter the Ruins of No. 9? I want to leave as soon as possible," Chen Yuan requested over the phone.

Although theoretically any warrior at the God of War level is qualified to enter the ruins, times have changed. As the only ruins on Earth that produce the Black God Set, even with a mortality rate as high as 30%, many warriors at the God of War level still flock to it.

After all, while the Black God suit can be purchased from the universe, it's important to understand that even in the universe, many planetary-level warriors can't afford Force suits, let alone apprentices. Even if they saved up for a lifetime, they still wouldn't have enough money to buy a Force suit.

Therefore, although the Black God Set is nothing to Earthlings above the planetary level, it is still an extremely precious treasure to War God-level martial artists. Especially after Luo Feng gave the Purple Light Dew to Earth, the number of War God-level martial artists increased dozens of times, forcing the martial arts school to strictly control the admission qualifications for Ruins No. 9.

Although Chen Yuan, as a member of the elite training camp, would be guaranteed approval with any application, the process would still take time and involve going through procedures. With the help of the training camp instructors, many tedious steps could be avoided, greatly improving efficiency.

"You little rascal... alright, wait for my message." Jiang Fang laughed and scolded him after hearing this request, then hung up the phone.

Chen Yuan waited patiently, and about an hour later, Jiang Fang called: "Your qualification to enter the ruins has been approved, and a group of martial artists will be entering the ruins tomorrow."

"Tomorrow morning, head directly to the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy in Hongning Base City. There, intelligent fighter jets will transport your group of martial artists to Ruins No. 9."

"Understood, thank you, Teacher Jiang," Chen Yuan said politely.

Having secured the status of a historical site, Chen Yuan wasn't too excited; he had already packed his belongings.

Since the Black God Set was prohibited from use within Ruins No. 9, Chen Yuan left it in the basement of the attic before leaving the training camp and heading to the main urban area of ​​Hongning Base City.

In the evening, Chen Yuan found a hotel near the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy and checked in. He then entered the virtual space trial tower through the auxiliary light brain.

That's right, access is through an auxiliary optical brain, rather than a consciousness-sensing helmet.

After all, as a more advanced virtual equipment than the helmet, the auxiliary optical computer has even connected to the overall virtual universe network, so it can easily connect to the virtual space of the mere Earth regional network.

Chen Yuan spent the entire night in the Trial Tower. He had already reached the fifth floor and quickly cleared both stages A and B.

The monster on the fifth floor of the Trial Tower is called the "Silver Moon Wolf," also known as the Hunter. It is a well-known monster, characterized by its high attack power and speed. Each one is a natural assassin and ranks among the top-tier lone monsters.

But it posed no threat to Chen Yuan at all. After all, no matter how high the Silver Moon Wolf's attack power was, it was useless if it couldn't hit him. And no matter how fast it was, could it be faster than him?

Therefore, even when facing 100 or 200 Silver Moon Wolves in phases A and B, as long as he can break through their defenses, Chen Yuan will have no pressure and can easily pass through with one sword strike each.

However, starting from the third stage, the opponent became more troublesome. The main problem was that these monsters no longer charged at us all at once like they did in the first two stages. The Silver Moon Wolves in the C stage coordinated perfectly and even learned guerrilla tactics, spreading out one by one. Whenever Chen Yuan attacked, the opponent would retreat, while other monsters would flank and ambush him from behind.

As a result, Chen Yuan's score stalled again, and his Trial Tower level remained at 5.7 until the time ran out.

As the night ended, Chen Yuan's Trial Tower level remained unchanged. With the assembly time fast approaching, he had no choice but to leave the virtual space, pack his belongings, and head to headquarters.

The global headquarters of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy is a magnificent building that resembles an ancient giant spaceship. After Chen Yuan entered and identified himself, he was led by staff to a lounge.

Chen Yuan observed for a moment and found that there were eight people resting and waiting in the room, including four Chinese, three white and one black.

These people were all very quiet. It was clear that they didn't know each other. They were all sitting quietly in their seats waiting. Even when they saw Chen Yuan come in, they only nodded slightly and did not go up to talk to him.

Chen Yuan was happy to oblige. He casually found a seat and sat down, but before long, a handsome young man of about thirty years old walked in, clapped his hands, and said, "Perfect, all nine of you are here. Come with me."

So I was the last one to arrive? Chen Yuan was slightly taken aback, quickly got up from his seat, and followed the young man out of the lounge.

On the way, the handsome young man introduced himself to everyone—his name was Liu He, the inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, and the leader who was leading them to the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins.

"So he's Liu He?" Chen Yuan saw another character from the original work and, out of curiosity, quietly released his mental power to sense the life force of everyone present.

"Huh, all of these people are actually high-level War Gods, and I'm the only one who's a mid-level War God." Chen Yuan was surprised that his strength was the lowest, but then he thought that with the fame of Ruins No. 9, there must be quite a few War Gods applying for the qualification, so the martial arts school would naturally select the best of the best.

If Chen Yuan didn't have the status of a training camp student, it probably wouldn't be so easy for him to apply for the qualification.

Chen Yuan secretly sensed Liu He's aura again and was secretly surprised: "This kind of vitality is at least at the eighth level of the planetary level, and may even be at its peak. Are all the inspectors of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy this strong?"

Previously, when facing Inspector Wang, Chen Yuan's consciousness was not strong enough to discern the level of the other party's strength. But now he knows that Inspector Wang is no less than Liu He and is probably also a peak planetary level existence.

The Liuhe Inspector was completely unaware of Chen Yuan's probing of his mental power. He led the group to the tarmac and arrived at a deep red triangular fighter jet. As the hatch opened, the group filed in.

Whoosh! The Qiankun-class fighter jet took off and quickly flew towards the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins.
