Chapter 162 Apprentice, do you know what requirements the 'Saint Master' senior has for accepting disciples?
"How is that possible?"
"How could this apprentice be so strong? Why has he never shown this before?"
"My God, I've only just passed the first level of the Sky Bridge, and he's already conquered all seven levels in one go?!"
"First it was Berlan, then those four from the Primitive District, and now an apprentice? This is unbearable!"
The poor geniuses in this year's Genius Battle are almost unbelievable to everyone!
The battle of geniuses had just begun when they were struck down by Bolan's terrifying strength. But who would have thought that Bolan, who was said to be a once-in-ten-thousand-epoch figure, would suffer four consecutive defeats in the final battle and not even be able to enter the Primal Secret Realm?
They initially thought Bolan was just careless, but who knew that after arriving in Chaos City, Bolan was left far behind by Luo Feng and the others, unable to catch up even if they rode on horseback.
These things are fine, I expected them anyway, but what's with this apprentice who suddenly appeared? He directly surpassed the strongest, Luo Feng!
This dealt another heavy blow to the already exhausted geniuses. They had no intention of comparing themselves to the four from the Primordial Secret Realm or Bolan; their target was the other seemingly "ordinary" people from the Primordial Secret Realm.
Especially the apprentices, since they all look very ordinary and are not particularly noticeable in the top ten.
Many people who didn't make it into the top ten, such as Galesi, Tao, Jiang Mo, Gusiluo, Lancelot, etc., were very dissatisfied, feeling that the apprentices were just lucky to make it into the top ten, so they were obsessed with cultivating a certain Qi.
But who knew they had caught a lurking true dragon in the Primordial Zone, a training ground belonging to Uka, which was a simulated bustling cosmic city.
On the rooftop of a skyscraper.
"This is unbearable! Why are there so many freaks in my generation of the Genius Tournament?!"
"Is this some kind of life-or-death situation?"
Uka was on the verge of tears. It was already extremely rare for a single Genius Tournament to produce two super geniuses who only appeared once every ten thousand epochs.
But this year's genius battle is so abnormal! Even a peerless genius like Bolan, who only appears once every tens of thousands of epochs, can't even squeeze into the top three. Now that the apprentice has appeared, he has fallen out of the top five!
How exactly did they cultivate? What kind of miraculous power does the Holy Master possess?
Uka's eyes were empty and lifeless, completely lacking the spirited demeanor he had when he participated in the Genius Battle.
"Just who is this 'Holy Master'—?"
Even a fool knows that Luo Feng and the others are so strong because of the "Holy Master".
Yuxiang Mountain, the primitive area, within Longyun's training ground.
Long Yun lay helplessly on the alloy floor.
"I said I would return to the Lanting Universe Kingdom with pride."
"I said I would become a super-powerful being in the universe."
"I said, even if I can't compare to the four from the Primordial Secret Realm and Bolan, I will still surpass the others from the Primordial Secret Realm—"
Long Yun was screaming inwardly, but the huge gap quickly calmed him down. Even if he was still unwilling, he understood the difference in their abilities.
"Forget it, being in the same year as them isn't necessarily my misfortune. Since I can't compete with them in cultivation speed, I'll compete with them and see who stands at the end!"
Long Yun has always been calm and low-key, but his dedication to his abilities is second to none.
His talent might only rank him in the twentieth or thirties in this year's Genius Battle, but his rate of progress is in no way inferior to other geniuses in the Primordial Secret Realm.
"Just what kind of existence is this 'Saint Master'?" After calming down, Long Yun naturally thought of the relationship between Luo Feng, Rong Jun, Clark, Lei Dian, and the apprentice and the "Saint Master".
Of the six who were far ahead, only Berlan had no connection with the "Holy Master".
"During the Genius Battle, apart from Luo Feng and Rong Jun, the other three were clearly inferior to Bo Lan. But in three years, Lei Dian and Clark have far surpassed Bo Lan. As for that apprentice, he was probably a bit worse than Luo Feng and Rong Jun back then, but he has overtaken them in recent days—"
Inside a training ground in the Primordial District.
The two figures were colliding repeatedly, each collision producing a sharp whistling sound that shook the heavens.
Suddenly, they both stopped abruptly, their beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
"Apprentice, he actually made it through the seventh level of the Sky Bridge?" Ai Chen, whose art style is always beautiful and whose image is always that of a lively and cute girl, was completely out of control at this moment.
"I remember he chose the Cosmic Chaos Monument back then—." Qian Shui had green hair and a gentle face that gave people a gentle and tender feeling. She was always a soft and weak girl, but at this moment she was also stunned.
"Let's go, Qianshui, let's go find that guy and settle the score. He's been deceiving us for so long, hmph—" Aichen snorted coldly.
Qian Shui said softly and weakly, "Maybe we should just forget about it—"
"No way!" Ai Chen said with a dissatisfaction.
The pinker the color, the more ruthless the personality.
"Let's go to his manor and catch him!" Ai Chen grabbed Qian Shui's hand and flew towards Zhou Ze's manor.
Chaos City.
On the rooftop of the small building, shrouded in a chaotic aura, a man with eyes like those of the stars stared indifferently at the threads of secret patterns on the edge of the spatial rift above his head, clearly immersed in comprehending the laws.
Suddenly, his expression changed, his eyes widened, as if he had learned something earth-shattering that he found hard to believe!
"Seventh floor? Apprentice??"
Berlan was completely dumbfounded. He didn't recognize these two "names" when they were put together.
Have the apprentices been playing their roles all these years?
He struggled through the fourth level and reached the fifth level, naturally understanding how difficult each level of the Bridge to Heaven was, and how the gap between each pair of levels grew larger as he progressed.
He had just arrived in Chaos City and visited the first two levels. It took him almost a year to pass the third level, and then four or five years to pass the fourth level. Based on this calculation, it should take him about ten years, or even longer, to pass the fifth level.
As for the sixth level, he himself knew whether he could pass through the sixth level before leaving Chaos City.
But the apprentice secretly passed the seventh level. If Luo Feng and Tu Man had passed the seventh level, he wouldn't have felt anything, since the gap between him and the two of them was too big.
"How exactly did he cultivate? And what role did the 'Holy Master' play in all of this?" Bolan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"No, I still have to go ask—"
Manor No. 1137.
After Zhou Ze had Babata finish processing the emails about accepting disciples, he was about to log off to comprehend the laws.
"Your Highness!" Ghosn called from outside.
"Something wrong?" Zhou Ze walked onto the balcony and looked at Ghosn standing at the entrance of the building across the street.
"His Highness Aichen and His Highness Qianshui have come to pay their respects outside," Gorn said respectfully.
"Hmm—" Zhou Ze smiled. "Looks like they've come to interrogate me."
In the three years following the Genius Battle, Zhou Ze did not act arrogantly and kept his distance from the other members of the Primordial Secret Realm.
In his spare time, he also participates in group activities, such as cutting, exchanging experiences, and chatting.
Of course, after arriving in Chaos City, everyone was busy with cultivation, and the frequency of social interaction decreased significantly. They would only get together when something surprising happened.
Flying towards the manor gate, Zhou Ze soon saw two stunningly beautiful women, one older and one younger, standing there.
One of them is gentle and charming, with a head of smooth green hair. She looks so cute that you can't help but want to hug her. But don't be fooled by her delicate appearance. This petite beauty with patterns on her face is much more ruthless when she hits someone than the pink-haired girl next to her!
Standing next to Qian Shui, the pink-haired Ai Chen is a beautiful sight wherever she goes. She has a head of big pink twin ponytails, a tight-fitting battle suit, dreamy colorful wings as thin as cicada wings on her back, a white halo above her head, and a quirky and clever face.
It has a really strong visual impact, and feels like it doesn't belong to reality or the human world. It's a complete reflection of reality in the two-dimensional world!
Every time Zhou Ze saw Ai Chen, he felt a sense of excitement.
"Aichen, Qianshui, is there something you need?" Zhou Ze asked calmly with a slight smile.
"You apprentice, even now you still want to fool us and deceive the feelings of two weak women!" Ai Chen's beautiful eyes held a dangerous glint.
Qian Shui subtly shifted back a little, seemingly trying to hide herself behind Ai Chen, and weakly said, "Ai Chen—..."
Zhou Ze was speechless. You two are supposed to be weak women, but you're both ruthless.
"Hey, what do you mean I deceived your feelings? You can't just say things like that. If word gets out, you'll ruin my reputation—" Zhou Ze said with a slight smile.
"You!" Ai Chen was furious, and even Qian Shui was stunned when she heard this.
They couldn't believe, nor did they expect, that anyone could be so despicable and shameless.
"Haha," Zhou Ze couldn't help but laugh when he saw Ai Chen and Qian Shui's expressions. Just before Ai Chen was about to lash out, Uka flew over from afar. A few seconds later, Bolan also flew over, and then even the taciturn Long Yun arrived.
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "Why did you all come? It's just crossing the Tongtian Bridge, no need to get so excited."
Uka rolled his eyes and said, "Keep pretending. I was wondering why you didn't cross the Sky Bridge. You were planning something big. Are you satisfied now? I reckon the entire Virtual Universe Company is buzzing with excitement for you."
Ai Chen raised her fair chin, her pink pupils filled with dissatisfaction, and pointed at Zhou Ze, saying, "This guy is ruthless. When we fight one-on-one in the training ground, he never uses his true strength—"
"Every time, Qian Shui and I feel like we're about to win, but no matter what we do, we just can't win—"
Thinking of this, Qian Shui also stared intently at Zhou Ze, seemingly wanting an explanation.
Zhou Ze remained calm, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"It's mainly to give you some confidence—" Zhou Ze said calmly, "Also, it wasn't the two of you who came to me for this, and you didn't let me use my full strength—"
"Can't you reflect on your own practices and whether you've worked hard or cultivated diligently, instead of asking me if I used my true strength?"
"People's hearts have changed. I was doing this all for your own good!"
Zhou Ze's expression was cold, and his tone was merciless, but the smile in his eyes was impossible to hide.
Ai Chen and Qian Shui's faces were blank. If there hadn't been other people around, they would never have let this bastard go.
Uka couldn't help but chuckle: "Apprentice, what you're saying is really hurting those two beauties. Be careful they don't turn their love into hatred!"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"Shut up!"
Ai Chen and Qian Shui reprimanded him, which made Wu Ka stand at attention and stop talking. However, he kept raising his eyebrows and sending a playful message to Zhou Ze with his eyes.
It's as if it's saying, "Dude, this is all the help I can give you."
Zhou Ze shook his head and smiled, "Alright, Ai Chen, Qian Shui, it's my fault—"
"Please come in and have a seat."
Zhou Ze welcomed Bolan, Wuka, Qianshui, Aichen, and Longyun into the living room.
"Where's Clark?" Long Yun, who was usually silent, suddenly asked.
Uka casually remarked, "It seems they went to find Luo Feng and the others—"
At this point, Uka looked at the apprentice curiously and asked, "Apprentice, are you really not related to Luo Feng and Clark as fellow disciples?"
Zhou Ze smiled slightly and said, "Thor and I didn't become disciples—"
"I'm just learning along."
"Perfunctory!" Uka muttered, without asking any further questions. After all, it was their secret, and it was their freedom not to talk about it.
Berlan's eyes were cold: "Apprentice, do you know what requirements the 'Saint Master' has for accepting disciples?"
