Swallowed Star: The Sacred Eye of Duplication

Zhuge Tao felt somewhat fortunate in his heart that he had made some changes to the contract he gave Ye Yun. Originally, the 300 million yuan limit was intended solely for purchasing cultivation secrets, guiding techniques, and the like. However, Zhuge Tao deliberately relaxed the restrictions, allowing Ye Yun to successfully purchase the dragon blood diluent. In Zhuge Tao's mind, if it weren't for him, Ye Yun might not have been able to discover his special "physique"!

Ye Yun and Wu Tong were walking along a quiet path in the community. Wu Tong glanced at Ye Yun, who was walking beside him, and recalled Ye Yun's performance just now. It seemed that Ye Yun had remained very calm from beginning to end, without any ripples of emotion.

At this moment, Ye Yun said softly, "Uncle Wu, thank you for running around for me these days! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to practice so peacefully! I wouldn't necessarily have made such great progress!"

Wu Tong smiled and replied, "Ye Yun, you are from our Yangzhou City Extreme Martial Arts School. As the chief instructor, it is my duty to do these things! We just hope that you can all grow. Looking at you, it feels as if you have fulfilled a dream that we have never achieved. It can also be regarded as another kind of achievement!"

Ye Yun's gratitude made Wu Tong feel very comfortable. Although, as he said, he was just doing his duty, Ye Yun did not forget his efforts, and the attitude he displayed made Wu Tong feel that his work was not in vain.

Ye Yun was still uncertain about what attitude the Extreme Martial Arts School would have towards him after today. His original goal was merely to join an elite training camp, but now it seemed that his progress was too fast—so fast that it exceeded everyone's expectations.

After returning home, Ye Yun was not anxious at all. He knew that the elite training camp had a two-month vacation every year, which happened to be in January and February. Now that February was less than half over, the Extreme Martial Arts School headquarters had enough time to decide how to treat Ye Yun. He just needed to wait patiently for the news.

After using the dragon blood, the energy was not completely absorbed, and some of it was still stored in Ye Yun's body. In the short term, Ye Yun only needed to persist in exercising, and his physical fitness would improve rapidly. Before encountering more advanced items, he didn't need to spend any time on this for the time being.

"If I have to join the elite training camp again this time, then my identity as a mentalist won't be of much help. If I want to rank high in this elite training camp, I must have a sufficient level of strength, as well as high-level body movements and combat skills. Mental power can only be used when hunting monsters!"

Ye Yun pondered quietly over his own shortcomings. After all, he had only practiced for two months. Even though he had gained some experience and insights from Zhuge Tao, the time was short, and the progress he made was not that great. Thus, in terms of strength level, body movement, combat methods, etc., he was completely inferior to others, not to mention the geniuses in the elite training camp.

The elite training camp only recruits 30-40 students worldwide every year, and two-thirds of these spots are selected from the basic training camp of the Extreme Martial Arts School. In other words, there are only about ten places allocated to the world each year. These are strong talents selected from hundreds of millions of people, each with their own strengths.

Some individuals possess a strong level of strength, with three or four times the average not being uncommon. Many others have achieved perfect body skills and artistic conception levels, not to mention the powerful swordsmanship and other combat skills they have practiced. It can be said that, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, these geniuses in the elite training camp are fully capable of defeating ten ordinary warriors at the same level.

As far as Ye Yun knew, among the nearly 200 students in the elite training camp, the top 30 to 50 were basically at the level of war gods, while the top 5 or 10 were comparable to medium or even high-level war gods! As long as they had practiced for five years or had been certified as war gods, they would leave the elite training camp. These individuals deliberately did not get certified during these five years to take advantage of the unique training equipment and powerful resource support available in the training camp.

Ye Yun understood his own limitations. If he didn't use his mental power, even if they had the same physical fitness, he would not be a match for those individuals at this moment.

However, Ye Yun did not have too many worries. As long as he was given a certain amount of time—just a few months at most—to improve his shortcomings, combined with his already strong abilities in hunting monsters, it would not be difficult for him to reach the top few places.

Ye Yun cleared his mind and stopped dwelling on these thoughts. Instead, he recalled some of the cultivation insights he had copied from Zhou Zhengyong earlier. As an intermediate-level war god, Zhou Zhengyong's power level was not very high, only about 3.2, but he had excellent body and palm skills. These cultivation experiences could help Ye Yun quickly improve his actual combat ability.

Another ten days passed, and it was February 21st, 2056.

This time, at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City, after Zhou Zhengyong met Ye Yun, he immediately took him to a secluded place deep in the community. There was a simple little villa there. When they reached the villa, Zhou Zhengyong looked at the open door and did not go in. Instead, he gently gestured with his right hand and whispered, "Ye Yun, go in! Inside is Inspector Wang from the Extreme Martial Arts School headquarters. He is a powerful person who surpasses the God of War! You must be respectful, but don't be too restrained. Inspector Wang is very easy-going. Moreover, the headquarters attaches great importance to you this time. I believe you will be treated very well. You must seize the opportunity!"

Ye Yun nodded slightly to show that he understood. He did not expect that this time, the Extreme Martial Arts School headquarters would actually send an envoy of Inspectorate level. Ye Yun remembered that when Luo Feng joined the elite training camp, only Yang Hui, a mid-level god of war, had come. It seemed that the Extreme Martial Arts School headquarters still placed much more importance on him now.

With steady steps, Ye Yun entered the hall. Upon entering, he found that the interior of the villa was very empty, with basically no furnishings. There was only an old wooden coffee table in the center of the hall. On one side of the coffee table sat a thin middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties, and behind him stood two young men in black.

The thin middle-aged man closed his eyes slightly, fiddling with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. There were two cups of green tea on the coffee table. When he noticed Ye Yun entering, he did not open his eyes but said in a hoarse voice, "Sit down!"

Ye Yun sat down lightly opposite the coffee table, inhaling the faint fragrance of the tea. As he looked at the thin middle-aged man, who was still fiddling with the Buddhist beads, he suddenly felt that he was being affected, as if he had integrated into the middle-aged man's own world. Some of his impetuousness faded away, and he calmed down.

After a while, the middle-aged man opened his eyes. A barely visible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he looked at Ye Yun deeply and then said, "Ye Yun, right? Not bad! My surname is Wang, and I am one of the five inspectors of the Extreme Martial Arts School. When 'Iron Hand' talked about your situation, I was a little skeptical, but after seeing it for myself, I found that they were not exaggerating. At your age, you possess such strong mental power; you truly deserve the title of a demon genius!"

As Inspector Wang spoke, Ye Yun immediately felt the surrounding atmosphere changing with Inspector Wang's tone and emotions. He calmed down a little and then said, "Inspector Wang, thank you for your praise! I am inexperienced and still have many shortcomings. I need to work harder in the future. Right now, I just have some lucky talents! It's not worth mentioning!"

Inspector Wang sensed that Ye Yun did not exhibit the slightest bit of arrogance. Although he was only a 17-year-old boy, he seemed to have his own ideas and was able to recognize his strengths and weaknesses. This alone was enough to make Inspector Wang regard him with newfound respect.

Inspector Wang nodded slightly, took a sip of tea, and continued, "The gym owner is actually very interested in you. If it weren't for the King-level monster riot in the coastal area, the gym owner would have come to deal with it. This time, perhaps the gym owner would have come in person! Although he didn't come, he still expressed his intention to cultivate you. Take a look at these two contracts!"

In the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, the only one who can be called the owner is the founder of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall—Hong! Ye Yun did not expect that Hong would actually notice a little war god like him, and his heart suddenly became active.

"I didn't expect the museum owner to pay so much attention to me. It seems that it won't be long before I can see him in person!"

Ye Yun took the two contracts handed over by the man behind Inspector Wang and examined them one by one.

When Ye Yun had finished reading, Inspector Wang spoke again, "Ye Yun, the owner wants to give you two contracts. It's up to you to choose:

The first contract is a special training contract, which means that after signing it, you can train and study in the elite training camp of my Extreme Martial Arts School for five years. When the five years are up, or after you are certified as a God of War, you can graduate and leave.

As for the second contract, it is the most formal and senior internal recruitment contract of our Extreme Martial Arts School. This contract offers the treatment of a high-level war god. After signing it, you will become a core member of our Extreme Martial Arts School!"

Ye Yun looked at the contract. There was nothing special about the first contract. Every warrior who joined the elite training camp of the Extreme Martial Arts School would sign such a contract at the beginning. The Extreme Martial Arts School would carry out training for five years, but it was not responsible for the life and death of the students, nor would it guarantee that they would become gods of war after graduation. Apart from these, there were no special regulations.
