Chapter 2, Devouring the Starry Sky

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

However, there is no need to consider these matters for now. Luo Feng possesses a commendable character and is an upright individual. There is no need to worry about any adverse effects he may have on oneself as he grows up. Furthermore, there is no intention to rely on him for support, so there is naturally no need to be concerned about his existence too early.

Due to some delays, the new sword has not yet been replaced

They wore smiles on their faces and carried fruits in their hands

Lin Yan expressed some complaints: "I am not really a patient; I just have a minor injury and am temporarily exhausted."

The two individuals before him are both his classmates, one named Wang Bing and the other Wei Xinran. Their relationship is quite good, which is why they applied together for military training.

He was thinking when two young men in military uniforms entered the ward

The uncontrollable RR virus from forty years ago

Lin Yan cast these thoughts aside

He is currently stationed in a military camp, coinciding with a beast tide, where the value of utilizing firearms is significantly higher. After all, it is a large-scale battle, and even ordinary warrior-level fighters cannot possibly contend with the monsters in the beast tide relying solely on their own martial prowess

After careful consideration, he chose to accept

Modern technology has advanced significantly in terms of thermal weapons, yet it still falls short when facing monsters. Firearms can only pose a threat to monsters of the 'Primary Beast General' level at most. Anything beyond that involves national heavy weaponry, which raises questions not only about accessibility but also about portability.

Passive Skill: Firearm Mastery (F Level)

However, it is not difficult to think that the Thunderbolt Sword is a widely practiced swordsmanship. One should be able to find a warrior skilled in this technique within the military camp. Even if there are none, one can seek out another form of swordsmanship. It is sufficient to change one's current state of having no foundation in swordsmanship.

If the target of the mission is deceased, the mission will automatically become invalid

However, cold weapons are different

If his sword is still present, he can naturally learn perfectly from the skills inherited from it

Moreover, he is not even a martial artist

Host: Lin Yan

Skill: Precision Shooting (F Level)

The era belonging to warriors has evolved to the present day

The great nirvana period of humanity

Wang took over the conversation, as he has always enjoyed socializing; any news never escapes his ears, especially at school: "Hmm, a scout from the Night Hawk Reconnaissance Company of the Sixth Army sent a message to the military district a couple of days ago, seemingly having discovered the cause of the beast tide. However, this information is incomplete, and the scout has also gone missing."

However, he seems to have discovered something even more remarkable within these memories

Trigger side quest

Note: Memory integration can enhance the alignment between the soul and the body, eliminating adverse effects

In previous years, there were usually signs before the occurrence of the book beast tide, allowing the military district to make thorough preparations. However, this time, the 021 defense line was suddenly attacked without any warning, nearly leading to a breach of the defense line, resulting in heavy losses for the stationed troops

This is ーー

The master of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall is named "Hong", and he is the strongest on Earth

Identity: First-year student at the National Defense University, Second Lieutenant in the Northern Military District of Tianjing Base City

Lin Yan could not help but press his lips together, his emotions complex, unsure whether to describe them as panic or longing

He had some suspicion about this point on the system panel

With an intravenous infusion in his right hand, Lin Yan gazed at the white quilt and the lingering scent of disinfectant in the air, momentarily feeling as if everything he had just experienced was merely a dream.

Through unique techniques such as swordsmanship and knife skills, martial artists can unleash astonishing lethality, which holds far greater potential than firearms. With a systematic approach at their disposal, embarking on the path of a martial artist is significantly easier than for the average person

He is still merely a senior student registered at the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, as he is still lacking a bit in speed and has not yet truly become a martial artist

During the holiday, he, along with several classmates, applied to the school to join the military for training. In the process, they happened to encounter a beast tide attacking the Northern Military District 021 defense line, and they were also mobilized to participate in this war

Wei Xinran mentioned while speaking: "Listening to the *Tuhua* book, this beast tide is different from the past."

He achieved excellent results in the college entrance examination last year and enrolled in the Huaxia National Defense University. He has completed his first semester of studies; however, as the new semester has not yet begun, he is still considered a first-year student

However, due to the poor quality of that sword, it could not withstand the burden during previous training, resulting in damage that rendered it worthless, and thus he discarded it. It is likely that it has already been melted down into slag.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on a hospital bed in the military district hospital

Since we have arrived here, everyone's goal is the path to the starry sky, and in the future, we will surely meet again at greater heights

They were chatting together

Soul Power: 58

Some measures need to be considered for this matter

What he needs to consider now is that although the original self has an excellent mastery of firearms, he is also skilled in a swordsmanship known as "Thunder Sword", which can be regarded as quite accomplished. Although he has integrated memories, this integration only allows him to understand the past, but does not enable him to grasp his abilities.

This body is indeed called Lin Yan

I could never have imagined that I would be reborn into the world of this story

Looking at the world, only the master of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall, "Thunder God," barely possesses the ability to stand shoulder to shoulder with it

However, the main character of the original story should be Luo Feng, who is situated in the Jiangnan base city, far away from the Tianjing base city. In this world, the name and the written word have not yet been heard of, and he should not have emerged prominently yet

After 20 points of soul power were deducted, he only felt a sharp pain in his brain, and countless fragments of memories appeared in his mind. He closed his eyes and slowly analyzed the information carried within these memories

In this world, there exists a master of the universe who can traverse time and space, bringing the dead back to life, as well as immortal deities with boundless lifespans, who are eternally undying. There are also cosmic sovereigns who govern countless star domains. They stand high above, eternal and indestructible, capable of shining throughout the ages

Lin Yan listened to their words, his gaze sharpened, as he opened the system panel, deep in thought

If it raises suspicion, it will inevitably lead to undesirable trouble

Although Lin Yan's speed has not yet reached the qualifying standard of a martial artist, and thus he does not possess the ability to pass the preliminary martial artist assessment, his marksmanship has always been strong, which is also a testament to the extraordinary talent of his original self

You come to see me, why bring any fruit?

However, it will be different in the future

3: [Saving Private Zhang Wei] Private Zhang Wei of the Night Hawk Reconnaissance Company of the Northern Military District seems to have discovered the secret of the beast tide and is currently in danger. Please initiate a rescue operation for Private Zhang Wei.

Lin Yanxian was delighted; a soul power of 58 was indeed a significant gain. He then noticed the prompt box at the bottom of the system panel

He opened the system panel

Task Reward: SS Level Agility [Phantom]

Boundary: None

He can still afford 20 points of soul power now

There were originally five people in total, but two of them did not participate in this war against the beast tide.

Various pieces of information combined together stirred up a tremendous wave in Lin Yan's heart

In his previous life, he was also a fan of novels and was quite familiar with this book. When this book was serialized, it enjoyed immense popularity, and he even happened to attend an author signing event once, where he met the author in person

The original soul has dissipated. You may choose to acquire the original memories of the body, which will require a consumption of 20 soul power. Would you like to proceed with the memory fusion

A world where humans coexist with monsters

Where have I been inconspicuous? I have always ranked among the top in the firearms assessments at school

There are even beings known as the strongest in the universe who can create miniature universes, their words manifesting reality, representing the supreme existence of the primordial universe

This is the world of "Swallowing the Starry Sky"

Wang placed the fruit on the table beside him, sat on the edge of the bed, patted him, and exclaimed: "You usually keep a low profile, but I didn't expect you to be this impressive. On the battlefield, you made the little pups howl. I heard those old soldiers say that you are sure to achieve merit this time!"

Most importantly, he is eager to understand his current situation; he is unaware of the family, friends, and various information of his original self, and he does not even know what kind of world this is. In this context, he is fundamentally unable to properly play his role.
