Chapter 165 Berlan Requests to Take on an Apprentice

"Famous Teachers" Institution.

This is a super organization that spans the virtual universe and stands at the pinnacle of humanity, second only to the five giants.

The origins of the founder of "Famous Teacher" are very mysterious; at least with Zhou Ze's current access, he cannot find out about the founder.

After Luo Feng and others became famous in the Genius Battle, Zhou Ze received great attention from the "Master" and was granted many privileges.

"Could the founder behind this be the original creator?"

Zhou Ze stood in the middle of the private "Master Teacher Space," making guesses.

All these factors combined, along with the astonishing powers unintentionally revealed by "famous teacher" institutions, suggest that...

He believes that behind a "famous teacher" is most likely the original creator, or one of the original creator's disciples.

Giant Axe doesn't seem like the type to be in education. Chaos City Lord, well, he always gives the impression that he is the actual ruler of the human race, or maybe it's because Giant Axe is straightforward and too lazy to get involved. He's always in the Cosmic Sea, so he probably doesn't have the time to cultivate "famous teachers".

Therefore, the biggest "suspect" is the original ancestor, since he's free. Of course, it could also be one of his other disciples.

"Although the internal strife among humans in the Devouring World is quite severe, the upper echelons are indeed very harmonious. Perhaps this is because they only have the Giant Axe to hold their own, and they don't yet have any supreme treasures."

"But regardless, from the current perspective, their 'ignoring' me is actually a form of tacit approval and support, and even protection?"

After considering for a moment, Zhou Ze's aura became more approachable, giving people the feeling of facing a family member. However, it was precisely because of this approachability that people also had the illusion of being unapproachable, ethereal, and possessing everything.

The purpose of this imposing aura was for Zhou Ze to completely distinguish himself from his disguise.

Upon opening the "Master Teacher" interface, Zhou Ze saw that Bolan was pinned to the top of the "Master Teacher" system before he even entered Bolan's ID.

The "Master Teacher" system can select the most suitable candidate based on Zhou Ze's settings, and with Bolan's talent, which appears only once every ten thousand epochs, he ranks first among all those who have booked the course.

Zhou Ze looked back and saw that the other participants in this year's Genius Battle of the Primordial Secret Realm were also ranked at the very front.

This left Zhou Ze speechless. If they applied directly, they wouldn't need to ask him for an alias to meet him.

Even if there's only a sliver of hope, even if that hope is infinitely close to zero, as long as the cost isn't too high, it's never a bad thing to try.

Zhou Ze clicked to accept Bolan's application.

The next moment, a figure appeared in front of Zhou Ze.

Behind him was a halo with a golden inner core and a white outer ring. He wore gold and silver armor, and his most striking feature was his pair of eyes that resembled stars. If it weren't for the hint of longing in those eyes instead of indifference, one would be struck by their beauty.

It would absolutely make people feel like they were on a godlike level of prestige. Bolan and Jiang Tianchen are definitely the best Zhou Ze has ever seen. Even the Nine Swords Venerable, Candri, and others are far inferior.

This kind of "cool" vibe is absolutely top-notch in terms of both visual impact and emotional resonance. If it were paired with background music, it would be simply unbeatable.

Even when he first arrived in the initial universe, the Chaos City Lord's powerful palm strike felt somewhat imposing, but it lacked the core "imposing" intent—

"Senior 'Holy Master,' please accept this junior as your disciple!" Bolan knelt down simply and directly, explaining his purpose.

This made Zhou Ze blink. Although he knew that Bolan wanted to become his apprentice, this was too straightforward. Hao Lie was also the most prestigious person in his mind.

The phrase "as if he were a god" was practically created just for him.

This reminded him of a quote he had read before:

Even the most beautiful women and handsome men are just ordinary people.

Just like those high-ranking officials or beggars on the street, they are all just ordinary people.

The different outcomes are simply due to differences in birth, opportunities, and fate. Stripped of their halos, they are all "ordinary people" who also experience desires, fears, surprises, and excitement. Regardless of how others perceive them, in Zhou Ze's eyes, they are all "people."

Including himself, everyone is a "person," an ordinary member of the "human" community. It's just that due to various reasons, they take different paths and achieve different results.

"Get up first—" Zhou Ze smiled slightly, "I don't like people kneeling before me—"

Bolan had originally planned to kneel for a long time, but after Zhou Ze said that, he had no choice but to stand up, looking at Zhou Ze with a mix of disappointment, longing, and excitement.

"Senior 'Holy Master,' what can I do to become your disciple?" Bolan clenched his fist, then released it, taking a deep breath as he said, "

"I believe I have a good understanding of things and should be able to meet your requirements."

Bolan believed that in terms of comprehension alone, even Luo Feng and Rong Jun could not be stronger than him. When Luo Feng and Rong Jun first participated in the Genius Battle, their strength was no match for his. Not to mention the apprentice, Lightning, and Clark.

At that time, they could only create nine illusory bodies, but he could easily create hundreds, even thousands, of illusory bodies. This was something he achieved purely through his own enlightenment, without the guidance of a "sacred master" senior.

Therefore, in terms of comprehension, he believed that no one in this year's genius competition could match him.

Zhou Ze smiled slightly: "Why do you want to become my disciple?"

Is this a test for me?

Berlan was startled. After thinking carefully, he took a deep breath and said, "Because you can make me stronger!"

"Hmm." Zhou Ze nodded slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips. "But why should I take you as my disciple?"

Berlan frowned slightly; this question about putting oneself in another's shoes was not easy to answer.

The "Saint Master" is undoubtedly a true powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of humanity. For such an existence, whether or not to accept disciples is of little significance.

To say that accepting him as a disciple would give the "Saint Master" another disciple with unlimited potential? That's a bit too arrogant, after all, every disciple under the "Saint Master" is much stronger than him.

As for face, the current "Saint Master" senior is renowned throughout the entire human universe, and his disciples are all more exaggerated than the last. He must have had disciples before.

Perhaps that renowned powerhouse in the entire universe is a disciple of the "Saint Master"—"

"I...don't know—" Berlan's lips moved, his face turned pale, and his heart was ashen, but he really couldn't think of a reason to convince himself.

He couldn't even convince himself, let alone the "Sacred Master" senior.

"Very good!" Zhou Ze smiled and calmly asked, "What do you want? What kind of person do you want to become?"

still have a chance!

Berlan's eyes lit up slightly, and after thinking carefully for a moment, he solemnly said, "I want to become stronger, stronger than everyone else!"

"As for what kind of person I want to be," Berlan couldn't think of a suitable answer no matter how hard he tried, so he could only tell the truth, "I haven't thought about it, and I don't care—"

At this point, Berlan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Just don't let others hate you—"

Don't want others to dislike you?

Zhou Ze smiled: "That's a good answer—"

Berlan stood motionless, seemingly awaiting the final verdict.
