Chapter 118 The Unremarkable Super Genius of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom—The Apprentice!
Faced with Clark's question, Zhou Ze smiled slightly: "Why are you asking me? I'm not good at fighting. I'm just an ordinary teacher. But if we're talking about guidance skills, I consider myself the best in the entire universe!"
Clark rolled his eyes: "That's a bit much!"
"However, in terms of guidance ability, I can't think of anyone who can compare to the teacher, haha—"
Clark offered a flattering remark, then looked at Luo Feng and said, "Senior Brother Luo Feng, you seem so calm; are you confident?"
Luo Feng shook his head and said, "We'll only know after we fight—"
"Tuman, what about you?" Clark raised his chin and pointed at Tuman.
"Didn't my senior brother say that we'll only know after we fight?" Tu Man asked Clark in return, his eyes equally calm.
"This is so unlike you!" Clark said weakly.
Tu Man glanced at Clark and said, "People always change, unlike you—"
"Hey!" Clark protested, "This is a personal attack on me, teacher. Look at the picture—"
"Ha ha--"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"They're all hiding their strength, afraid others will find out. Humph, I won't tell either—" Clark crossed his arms, Thor rubbed his bald head, and chuckled, "This is just to give you a surprise—..."
Clark quipped, "I think you guys are trying to scare me, in case you all make huge leaps and bounds while I don't change much—"
Zhou Ze joked, "You know that, yet you still don't work hard! Wandering around all day? Be careful you don't lack the strength and end up being dragged off for a political marriage!"
Clark said awkwardly, "Teacher, I've already tried my best. Besides, with my current strength, who would dare use me for a marriage alliance! Even if I can't get into the Virtual Universe Company, I can easily enter the Dry Witch Secret Realm! Hmph!"
Clark looked smug!
Zhou Ze was speechless: "So, that's all you're aiming for? Just to avoid being used as a bride for political marriage?"
Clark said weakly, "No, that's not it. I do have some ambitions—"
"Yes, it's good to have ambition. The right mindset for cultivation is to maintain a calm and diligent attitude," Zhou Ze said. "The final battle starts in a year and a half, so keep up the good work!"
"Now is a good opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have..."
Thor immediately raised his hand and said, "Teacher Zhou, me, me, I'll go first."
"Hmm—" Zhou Ze nodded.
While the internal selection process of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has concluded, the internal selection process continues in the Wilderness Universe Kingdom, another human universe kingdom located extremely far from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
The Wild and Savage Universe Kingdom is named as such because it is home to two extremely terrifying human races.
The Manka Star People and the Wild God Clan are both among the top ten human bloodlines in the universe. Even without cultivation, they can easily become powerful "Domain Lords" after reaching adulthood.
The fact that the race's bloodline could evolve to this extent indicates that the ancestors of the Manka Star People and the Wild God Clan gave birth to many immortals.
As the home of the Manka people, the entire planet of Manka was moved to a vast divine kingdom.
In Manka Star.
Inside an oval-shaped castle, the guards at the entrance are all cosmic-level warriors.
"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
The two realm lords smiled as they watched the boy eating heartily at the dining table. The boy was wearing a silver battle suit and had black hair like an Earthling.
"What's there to congratulate? It's just a spot, it couldn't be easier!" The two realm lords looked at each other and smiled.
"Your Highness," the slightly plump realm lord said with a smile, "the internal selection of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom has concluded."
The Manka aliens may appear physically strong, but they are not simple-minded either. The Manka are extremely confident, but not arrogant, and they still attach great importance to gathering intelligence before the battle.
After each selection process within a cosmic nation concluded, he would have the two people he was watching report back to him.
"The Qianwu Universe Kingdom?" Uka raised his head, frowning. "I've heard that Father said the 'Qianwu Kingdom Ruler' is extremely powerful, but in the recent Hundred Genius Tournaments, the Qianwu Universe Kingdom hasn't produced any remarkable figures."
The portly realm lord said respectfully and solemnly, "Your Highness, this year is different—"
Upon hearing this, Uka, who had been busy sweeping the food off the table, suddenly looked up, his eyes gleaming:
"Oh? Tell me about it!"
Aside from that super freak from the Noah Universe Kingdom, this was the first time he had ever seen the fat world lord with such a solemn expression.
This immediately piqued his curiosity.
"Your Highness, this generation from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom is quite extraordinary!" The plump realm lord frowned.
"Right now, the two most famous geniuses in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Luo Feng and Rong Jun, are both terrifyingly strong!"
"Three years ago, in his final battle with Rong Jun, Luo Feng was already able to use the third level of the Divine Weapon! Although Rong Jun was not as powerful as Luo Feng, he seemed to have created his own secret technique!"
"Moreover, both of them have a very high level of understanding of the laws of space! They could create eight illusory bodies back then, so they can definitely use the Nine-Line Stream technique now!"
"The third level of the Divine Weapon? The Nine-Line Flow?" Uka immediately stood up, utterly shocked. "How can we fight this? How come everyone in this year's Genius Battle is more monstrous than the last?"
"This is still the strength from three or four years ago!" Uka looked somewhat dejected and plopped down in a chair. "It's one thing to have Bolan, but how come Luo Feng and Rong Jun also appeared? Any one of these three could easily have taken first place in the top 100 genius tournaments!"
"The Qianwu Universe Kingdom has been declining for nearly a hundred sessions. Has it finally risen to prominence in this Genius Battle?"
The portly realm lord took a deep breath: "Luo Feng and Rong Jun are indeed terrifying, but there's another one called Thor, who defeated Rong Jun!"
"#￥%#" Uka shouted, "Is it really necessary to be so exaggerated?"
"That's not all—" the portly realm lord said gravely, "I inadvertently discovered that they are all connected to a highly accomplished person known as the 'Holy Master'!"
"The 'Holy Master'?" Uka frowned.
"Hmm, these super geniuses all seem to be related to that mysterious powerhouse called 'Saint Master.' Luo Feng and Rong Jun are confirmed to be his disciples, and even if Thor isn't the 'Saint Master's' disciple, he's still closely related to him—"
"Besides that, there's another one called 'Apprentice,' which is far too ordinary—"
"Ordinary?" Uka asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because they are all related to the 'Holy Master,' I paid more attention to them and looked up information related to the 'Holy Master.'"
The 'apprentice,' whose prowess has been overshadowed by Luo Feng and Rong Jun, might shock everyone in the final battle!
"Is he number one in the world?" Uka guessed.
The fat world lord nodded.
Uka pondered, "Being number one in the world region does sometimes depend on luck, after all, it's such a big world region."
Therefore, some top-ranked players in the world may not have shown their true strength.
"Why do you think that?" Uka frowned. "Logically speaking, the World Zone shouldn't be able to demonstrate much strength, right? Unless there's a suitable opponent."
"Yes, but this 'apprentice' is an exception!" The fat world lord said with utmost solemnity, "Based on the online comments from the participants and viewers of the 100th world zone preliminary round of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom..."
"This apprentice practically swept through the world region, killing everyone he passed through with a basic golden sword that formed the basis of the Divine Weapon. No one was exempt, not even geniuses who had crossed the threshold of the Laws."
"In just a few days, cities were turned into ghost towns —"
Uka's eyes were vacant as he muttered, "This guy is definitely a hidden mastermind!"
"I wonder how he compares to Naberan?"
While most people wouldn't notice, he certainly does. To act in this way undoubtedly demonstrates absolute self-confidence! And confidence often stems from one's own abilities.
Sometimes, some extremely extraordinary geniuses can appear to be quite "ordinary" because even the strongest genius is just like an ordinary martial artist in their presence.
In the vast universe, humanity is one of the most powerful races, occupying a very large star sector.
Meanwhile, among the 1008 universe nations, many internal selections for geniuses were still underway, while many others had already concluded. The top geniuses, ranked first or second in their respective universe nations, were gathering intelligence on threatening rivals in other universe nations.
In the vast expanse of the starry sky of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.
A giant stands in the starry sky, the surrounding space is completely distorted, and his appearance is impossible to discern in the distorted space.
"I will have you nurture the next generation in the Qianwu Secret Realm, selecting hundreds of millions of geniuses from across the entire universe, and cultivating them in the best place and under the best conditions!"
"But the most outstanding geniuses selected by my Universe Kingdom, you couldn't even make the top three, and none of them were trained in my Qianwu Secret Realm!"
The sound, tinged with anger, boomed, and the surrounding starry sky trembled as if it were shattering.
The three immortal beings, dressed in plain white robes, were all bowing, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
"What use are you now?"
The deep, resonant voice seemed to strike the three immortal souls like a giant axe, causing them to turn pale and kneel down.
"You all need to go back and reflect on your actions!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The three men responded respectfully.
Go!
The three immortal beings breathed a sigh of relief and left respectfully one after another.
After the three immortals left, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom did not depart, but remained in place, lost in thought:
What secret does Zhou Ze have?
Others may not know, but the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom knows it all too well, because the so-called "Holy Master" who created all of this was the one who personally refused to accept him as a disciple.
"Even I can't find any real information about him now; it must be because someone above has intervened." A slight unease stirred within the heart of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.
"Regardless, the fact that this kid could get the higher-ups to do this must mean they have their reasons, and the fact that he was born in my Qianwu Universe Kingdom is enough—."
Peak Space.
"You're somewhat fixated on secret techniques. Ignoring them is simply a way to better comprehend the laws. Your so-called bottleneck is merely an insufficient understanding of the laws..."
Zhou Ze spoke eloquently, while in front of him stood a powerful domain lord dressed in gray battle armor!
Meanwhile, the surrounding stands were packed with a billion spectators! There were even some powerful realm lords among them.
Among these powerful realm lords, there was an old man with gray hair who was watching the domain lord on the stage giving instructions!
"It's too detailed, too detailed. I couldn't see any of these details at all—," the old man sighed inwardly.
"No wonder he was able to train geniuses of Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Thor, Clark, and Hong—"
"Even a super genius like Hong, who ranks among the top in the Universal Finals, isn't qualified to become his disciple!"
The absurd idea sprouted in his mind a few years ago, and he didn't care at the time, but after the duel between Luo Feng and Rong Jun, it planted a seed in his heart.
Over the years, Zhou Ze would only appear in the Peak Space once every few months. At first, he was indifferent to it, but he couldn't even get a ticket several times in a row!
Keep in mind that the Peak Space has a billion seats! Yet even so, he couldn't get a ticket, which shows how crazy the audience was.
After trying to buy tickets for a whole year, he finally managed to get one.
He decided to try his luck and made an appointment, but to his disappointment, there was no chance at all; there were too many people and the process was too random.
Nobody knows how many people have made reservations.
"There's no way," Luo sighed. He thought of his disciple Hong, who should be able to contact the "Holy Master," but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.
On the arena.
Zhou Ze distributed his blessings evenly, randomly selecting one person from each of the planetary, eternal, cosmic, and domain lord levels to provide guidance before leaving the peak space.
"Zhou Ze, Luo Feng asked me to tell you that his Demon Slayer Clan clone has been formed—"
As soon as I logged off, Babata popped up.
