"Senior Luo Feng! Senior Luo Feng!"

Just as they had walked a few steps, a thick, booming voice rang out, shattering the relaxed atmosphere of the conversation between Luo Feng and Wei Wen.

"Ah Feng, someone is calling you."

Wei Wen reminded him.

Luo Feng turned his head, his face full of confusion, only to see that the person calling him was a male student.

This student was about 1.9 meters tall, with a physique as sturdy as a small mountain. He had broad shoulders and a thick waist, and his arms were shockingly thick, with muscles bulging prominently.

"Who are you?"

Luo Feng looked at the unfamiliar face before him with doubt; in his memories, there seemed to be no trace of this person.

In terms of height, Luo Feng himself was only about 1.75 meters tall, so compared to this sturdy student, the difference between the two was significant.

Yet, this broad-shouldered, thick-waisted student appeared exceptionally reserved in front of Luo Feng.

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with worship and nervousness as he carefully sized up the "Senior Luo Feng" he admired, then spoke with a hint of trepidation.

"Senior Luo Feng, I... I have something I would like to ask Senior Luo Feng for help with."

"What is it?"

Luo Feng wore a friendly smile and asked softly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of inspiration struck Luo Feng's mind, and he instantly recalled the memories he had absorbed earlier.

It seems that the beginning of Swallowed Star is exactly this plot point. It looks like the current time is right when the story begins.

The memories I absorbed earlier seem to be real.

A strange feeling welled up in his heart.

Sure enough, the next words from the big guy were exactly the same as the "lines" in the novel, claiming that he had problems with his force output and wanted to ask Luo Feng for some pointers.

"How about this, find me at the dojo this Sunday afternoon."

Luo Feng said after a moment of thought.

"Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"

Upon hearing this, the sturdy student's face lit up with joy. He thanked him repeatedly, his eyes filled with gratitude and excitement.

Luo Feng smiled, then continued walking toward the school gate with Wei Wen.

Watching Luo Feng leave, the sturdy student's face showed uncontrollable excitement. He clenched his fist, the veins on his arm bulging as if to vent the agitation in his heart, and he let out a low, excited roar.

"Success!"

And after Luo Feng turned to leave, he was equally filled with excitement.

In this life, he knew everything in advance, and his talent had been enhanced—could there be a more perfect start than this?

Walking along the way, Luo Feng saw Xu Xin at the school gate, just like in the original plot. That familiar figure caused a ripple in his heart.

Next, he ran into the rich kid Zhang Haobai.

Afterward, the two saw the high-level lord-class monster, the Black-Crowned Golden Eagle, wreaking havoc in the sky on the street.

This feeling of having everything under control made Luo Feng feel that it was all very surreal.

Half an hour later, Luo Feng finally saw his familiar home—the South Bank Residential District.

After saying goodbye to Wei Wen, a faint sense of anticipation ignited in Luo Feng's heart.

I wonder what kind of good things will be in this newbie gift pack? Weapons, equipment, a Space Ring, or perhaps a spirit weapon?

As he thought about this, he looked up at the rows of slightly dilapidated tenement buildings in front of him, then impatiently rushed into one of them.

As a low-rent housing complex, the South Bank Residential District was not equipped with elevators.

But with Luo Feng's physical fitness as an advanced trainee, climbing stairs was not worth mentioning to him.

His pace was light and nimble; he took four steps at a time, his figure as agile as a swift leopard, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the second floor.

Before long, Luo Feng rushed to the 32nd floor like a gust of wind.

"Click!"

Luo Feng took out his key and gently opened the door.

"Brother, you're back?"

The familiar voice of his younger brother, Luo Hua, came from inside the room.

"Yeah."

Luo Feng replied, closed the door behind him, and cast his gaze toward Luo Hua, who was sitting in a wheelchair on the small balcony.

The moment he saw Luo Hua, Luo Feng's thoughts suddenly drifted away for some reason, and he began to let his imagination run wild.

In these memories of "Luo Feng," there are also many fan-fiction plots of Swallowed Star. In one of the most recent ones I read, my brother Luo Hua was the protagonist, and in the end, he was even more fierce than me.

Luo Feng looked at his brother, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly to reveal a faint smile.

It seems there are also ones where I was reborn as my father Luo Hongguo, Gong Xinlan, Hong, Thunder God, Wei Wen, Yang Wu, Lord of Ganwu, Bolan, Kedi...

"If everyone in this world were like those in fanfiction, having encountered their own fortuitous opportunities, that would be truly fascinating.

I wonder if they could compare to me, the true protagonist who has obtained a system."

Luo Feng thought to himself.

Of course, Luo Feng was well aware that all of this was likely unrealistic.

Judging by the current situation, he was almost certainly in the original Swallowed Star world written by Tomato.

If it were before, with the college entrance exams looming, Luo Feng would have buried himself in academic studies the moment he got home.

But now, not only had he absorbed those strange memories, but he had also luckily obtained a system. In this world where martial power reigned supreme, becoming a martial artist was clearly more attractive; academic subjects had long since been cast to the back of his mind.

"Little brother, keep reading. I'm going to my room to study for a while."

Luo Feng intended to open his beginner's gift pack and, worried that his brother might disturb him, spoke up directly.

"Alright, brother. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I believe you can definitely get into the Jiangnan First Military Academy."

Luo Hua encouraged him from the balcony.

Luo Feng smiled slightly, his gaze falling on his brother's legs. A surge of firm conviction rose in his heart before he turned and entered his room.

In this life, I will make you stand up again much sooner.

Luo Feng swore silently to himself.

After entering the room, Luo Feng quickly closed the windows and the door.

Immediately, he couldn't wait to call out to the system.

"System, open the beginner's gift pack for me."

Ding: The beginner's gift pack has been issued.

Congratulations on obtaining: Blood Shadow Battle Blade A6 *1.

B6 Model Shield *1.

D6 Model Battle Suit *1.

S-Rank Flying Dagger *6.

Space Ring *1.

Coiling Dragon Ring (Incomplete Version) *1.

The next instant, items appeared out of thin air in front of Luo Feng. As if guided by a mysterious force, they floated quietly in the middle of the room.

"Holy crap, this is a beginner's gift pack? The blade, shield, and suit start at the 6-series; these are pieces of equipment corresponding to the high-level Warlord rank.

The S-Rank Flying Daggers can deal with Lord-level monsters.

The Space Ring is an even better item; usually, even Star-level beings in the universe find it hard to possess one.

Not to mention the Coiling Dragon Ring—that is a soul-defense Sovereign Artifact, an absolutely priceless treasure.

Although it's an incomplete version and its function is somewhat singular compared to the supreme treasures in Swallowed Star, only capable of defending against soul attacks, a Sovereign Artifact is still a Sovereign Artifact. Even in the Swallowed Star world, it would at least be comparable to a soul-defense supreme treasure.

Whether in the early or late stages of Swallowed Star, there are all sorts of diverse soul-based attacks.

With the Coiling Dragon Ring, my soul will be much safer.

I guess it's because the system merged the worlds of Coiling Dragon and Swallowed Star that items from the Coiling Dragon world appeared."

Luo Feng was filled with amazement; he was one hundred percent satisfied with this beginner's gift pack.

"I wonder if there's an 'old grandpa' inside this Coiling Dragon Ring, or any Azure Dragon Blood Essence and Sovereign Power? If it were the original Coiling Dragon Ring, I'd be set.

Whatever, I'll drip blood on it to claim ownership first and see."

Thinking of this, Luo Feng didn't hesitate at all. He forced out a drop of blood and dripped it onto the Coiling Dragon Ring.

Suddenly, Luo Feng felt a special connection form with the Coiling Dragon Ring, as if an invisible bond had been established between them.

However, after waiting for a long time, no legendary old grandpa drifted out of the ring.

Because his mental energy was insufficient, Luo Feng couldn't even probe inside the Coiling Dragon Ring to see if there was any Azure Dragon Blood Essence or Sovereign Power.

"Sigh, maybe I'm just being too greedy. I shouldn't be dissatisfied when I already have a soul-defense Sovereign Artifact."

Luo Feng smiled lightly, mocking himself.

Afterward, he dripped blood to claim the Space Ring as well. He put away all the other items and wore the Space Ring, which looked plain and unremarkable but contained a vast amount of space, on his finger.

"Now that I have a faint trace of the Azure Dragon Bloodline in my body, I wonder what the effects will be when I train? Let's give it a try."
