First Awakening

Yi'an District No. 3 High School, around three in the afternoon.

"That big guy was just praising you to his classmates! He said you were a good person and easy to talk to."

"What's wrong? Jealous?" Luo Feng turned and smiled.

"Jealous of you?" Wei Wen rubbed his nose and chuckled. "In your dreams! If I were jealous, I'd be jealous of Bai Yue."

"Yeah, Bai Yue is the one people should really envy." Thinking of that childhood friend he had grown up with alongside Wei Wen, Luo Feng could not help but sigh. An orphan raised in an orphanage, Bai Yue had become a true Martial Artist half a year ago. While others their age were still in school, he was already hunting monsters in the Wilderness Area.

Luo Feng was considered a genius in the eyes of others as well. As an advanced student at the dojo, he could take on three opponents alone and beat them until they could not get back up. But comparisons were the thief of joy.

"Stop thinking about it. In a few days, when Bai Yue comes back from the Wilderness Area, he can tell us what it's really like there," Wei Wen said beside him.

"Let's go home." Snapping out of it, Luo Feng patted Wei Wen on the shoulder.

In City No. 0203 of the Wilderness Area, Falcon Squad's group of six was making its way back along a dilapidated ring road.

"Pick up the pace, everyone. We should make it back to the Supply Base before dark. I've been out for so many days—I miss my precious daughter to death." The middle-aged man walking in the center spoke. His name was Zhang Fang, an Intermediate Warlord highly skilled in saber techniques.

"I think you miss your wife, Brother Fang!" The man directly behind him teased.

"Get lost, Li Ming. What would a bachelor like you know? Your sister-in-law just gave me a big, healthy daughter. What's wrong with missing her?" Zhang Fang replied.

"Your little niece is already more than eight months old, right? In a while, she'll be calling you Daddy. Brother Fang, when we get back, make sure you spend some proper time with your wife and daughter." At the rear, Bai Yue held an Alloy Great Spear in one hand, keeping watch on their surroundings as he spoke to Zhang Fang.

He was the Bai Yue Luo Feng and Wei Wen had mentioned.

Bai Yue was a Reincarnator—or rather, someone who had transmigrated. It was only half a year ago that he had regained his memories of his previous life. Based on what he knew, he had realized that he had come to the Swallowed Star World, yet he did not seem to exist in the original story.

Having only just awakened, Bai Yue had been completely bewildered. In his previous life, his girlfriend had broken up with him, and he had drunk himself into a stupor alone in his rented apartment before falling asleep. When he woke up, he was half a year in the past, an orphan raised in an orphanage.

In this life, Bai Yue had just turned eighteen. Over the past six months, he had grown to 186 centimeters. His appearance seemed to have been carved from the same mold as in his previous life—nothing remarkable, merely average. Since he was still developing, he looked somewhat thin and frail. Yet upon closer inspection, the muscles beneath his clothes were no less impressive than those of these men who spent their lives traveling through the Wilderness Area.

Half a year ago, the moment he awakened the memories of his previous life, the fusion of his two souls had awakened his Mental Power and improved his physical fitness, bringing him to the level of a Quasi-Warrior. Of course, Bai Yue's Mental Power talent was nowhere near as exceptional as the protagonist Luo Feng's. Luo Feng could grow to the peak of War God merely by improving his physical fitness, whereas Bai Yue had only reached a level close to an Advanced Warlord before the solidified mental power in his mind had been fully refined. From then on, he could only improve by continuously absorbing Cosmic Energy and converting it. After adapting for a few days, Bai Yue decisively dropped out of school. In a fantasy world where Great Power Belongs to Oneself, how could he have any future if he did not train properly?

Moreover, even before awakening his memories of his past life, Bai Yue's talent for physical training had not been much inferior to Luo Feng's. He had become an advanced student at the dojo around the same time as Luo Feng, and after awakening, the fusion of his souls had further enhanced him.

"Of course. This time, thanks to you, Xiao Yue, we managed to take down that Advanced Beast Warlord-level Great Strength Demonic Bear. Once we sell these materials, we'll make a killing." Zhang Fang's face beamed as he spoke.

"Xiao Yue, when we get back this time, it seems you'll be taking the assessment from headquarters. If you pass, you'll head to Hongning Base City and join the Elite Training Camp. From then on, us old brothers will have to rely on you!" Li Xiao, the tall, thin middle-aged man walking ahead of Bai Yue, said.

"Who knows whether I'll pass? Brother Li, don't joke around." Bai Yue answered with a faint smile. Though he said that, he was one hundred percent confident in this assessment.

In half a year, without taking any natural treasures or genetic medicines, his physical fitness had reached the peak of Beginner Warlord, his Mental Power had reached the peak of Intermediate Warlord, he had trained World Destroyer—the ultimate spear techniques manual created by Hong, the world's strongest man—to the Fourth Layer, and he had mastered perfect-level movement techniques. If that was not enough to pass, then no one could.

World Destroyer was one of the only two ultimate manuals on Earth. There were not many people on the entire planet who had cultivated it to the Fourth Layer. Compared with the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade cultivated by the protagonist Luo Feng, World Destroyer also possessed a method for unleashing Dark Force. However, Hong, who had once been an assassin, believed in gathering all of one's strength into a single fatal blow. Once fully mastered, its power amplification was slightly lower than that of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, but it offered an additional use of the momentum of heaven and earth. A single thrust carried not only one's own power, but could also borrow the various forces between heaven and earth, multiplying its might.

Bai Yue belonged to an elite Warlord squad. Aside from Wang Bing, the sniper walking third from the back, whose physical fitness had not reached Warlord level, everyone else had at least reached Beginner Warlord. At the front was the Captain, Leng Jun, nicknamed Falcon, an Advanced Warlord famous for many years. His two-handed swordsmanship had reached perfection, and he had a chance of becoming a War God in the future.

In just half a year, Bai Yue had gone from a rookie to the second-in-command of this elite squad. The hardships he had endured were not something outsiders could understand. Of course, there had also been just a tiny bit of cheating involved.

"Xiao Yue, this is a rare opportunity. You must take it seriously. I've heard of that Elite Training Camp for a long time. As far as I know, anyone who graduates from it becomes a War God. More importantly, it has all kinds of resources and equipment that even many War Gods covet. Those things simply cannot be found outside. If you perform well, you may even gain the attention of Hong, the world's strongest man." Captain Leng Jun spoke as well.

"Xiao Yue, you've mastered the third layer of World Destroyer, right? Maybe Hong might even take you as his disciple. That would be hitting the jackpot! Then you won't have to struggle to kill monsters for money to buy manuals anymore. You'll be able to choose any manual in the world at will, haha!" Li Xiao echoed from the side.

He only knew that Bai Yue had exchanged for the third layer of World Destroyer at the House of Extremes. He did not know that Bai Yue had already mastered it.

Wang Bing, the sniper, withdrew his gaze from the distance and spoke as well. "I have nothing to say about Xiao Yue's talent. Just two words: I'm jealous." Those were his true feelings. If his Martial Artist talent had not been so poor, he would not have chosen to become a sniper. Over the past half year, Bai Yue had given them far too many surprises.

"I'll work hard. I've long yearned for the view from the peak." The peak Bai Yue spoke of was not merely the level of War God, nor the so-called Planetary Councillor level above War God. Having transmigrated here, he knew how vast this universe was. The infinitely immense Primeval Universe had given birth to endless races and treasures. Different legends unfolded every moment; some experts fell, while others rose from obscurity and became renowned across the universe.

Given another life, he naturally had to stand at the summit, meet the strongest people in the world, forge his own immortal legend, and earn the admiration and worship of countless billions!
