Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 103 I would like to accept you as my disciple, are you willing? (First update)
The headquarters of the virtual universe, Thunder Island, inside the palace of the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom.

Although Lord Qianwu rules over the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, he is a cosmic master under the command of the Virtual Universe Company, so he naturally has his own palace on Thunder Island.

At this moment, the King of Qianwu was sitting on the throne of the temple, and standing at the bottom of the hall was Gu Fenghou, one of the "Eighteen Divine Generals" under his command.

The Eighteen Divine Generals are the eighteen most powerful immortal marquises under the command of Lord Qianwu.

Each of them is at the peak of being a marquis and has the hope of advancing to the level of being a king.

For example, the immortal "Thirteen" who appeared in the battle of top geniuses in the universe in the original story line is one of the eighteen generals.

As for the true immortal king, there is not a single one under the command of Lord Qianwu.

After all, the strength of the King of Qianwu is not that strong among the cosmic masters, and he can barely be considered a high-level cosmic master.

And because he died too many times, he was notoriously poor. After his death on the primitive planet, even his most precious treasure was lost.

I'm in a lot of debt.

The reason he was able to rule one of the 1008 cosmic nations was simply because he was old enough, not because of how powerful he was.

The resources he had were not enough for himself, let alone to share with his immortals.

Naturally, it cannot attract those who are crowned as immortal kings.

"Lord, I wonder what is the matter that you called me here?" After seeing Lord Qianwu, Marquis Gu Feng bowed respectfully and asked.

"Haha, I'm looking for you for something." The Lord of Qianwu laughed, "Gu Feng, I know you want to improve your understanding of the laws of space to the level of a king as soon as possible."

"You have been in seclusion for tens of millions of years. Have you gained anything?"

"Although I have some insights, I was ultimately unable to make a real breakthrough." Gu Fenghou felt helpless.

Although you can get protection and some resources by joining the army of the Lord of Qianwu, you will also lose something in return.

Someone like the King of Qianwu has not come to disturb me for tens of millions of years, which is already very considerate of me.

Now the King of Qianwu is obviously going to assign me a task, and I certainly cannot refuse.

However, after tens of millions of years of seclusion to comprehend the fundamental laws of space, there has been little success, so it might be a good idea to go out for a walk.

Maybe you can get some new inspiration and achieve a breakthrough.

After all, he could feel that he was not far from breaking through to the king level.

"Gu Feng, you need persistence and perseverance to comprehend the laws. Sometimes, you also need a chance." The Lord of Qianwu nodded and said, "Since you can't make a breakthrough in seclusion, then go out for a walk. Maybe you will gain something."

"Recently, a little star-level fellow named Wang Xiu came to Qianwu Secret Realm. He has quite good talent. You can be his teacher for a while." Qianwu King said with a smile, "It just so happens that the laws of the origin of gold and the origin of space that he comprehended are what you are best at."

"Stellar level?" Gu Fenghou was a little surprised.

He originally thought that he was being asked to go out on a mission, but he didn't expect that he would be a teacher.

"Yes." The Lord of Qianwu nodded, "Go ahead. I remember that your disciples were all well taught by you. Pay attention."

"This..." Gu Fenghou wanted to say something, but since the Lord of Qianwu had already spoken, he could not say anything else and could only agree, "Yes, Lord, I will do my best."

After saying this, Marquis Gu Feng bowed again and slowly walked out of the hall.

After Marquis Gu Feng disappeared, King Qianwu sighed softly.

This time, Gu Fenghou was specially called here. Besides the fact that he is really good at teaching disciples, another purpose was to ask him whether he had made a breakthrough.

After all, after tens of millions of years of seclusion, you must have gained something.

But unexpectedly, I still couldn't break through.

As a dignified Universe Lord, and an extremely ancient one among the Universe Lords, it would be embarrassing to tell others that he does not even have a proper immortal king under his command.

The so-called three hundred kings and princes only sound good, but in fact, none of them was truly crowned as king.

"The next Universe Peak Genius Competition is about to begin. With Wang Xiu's talent, he may have a chance to win first place in this Universe Peak Genius Competition." The Lord of Qianwu murmured in his heart, "Wang Xiu, I hope you won't let me down."

……

Virtual universe, Qianwu secret realm, Wuji Island.

Wang Xiu had just changed the interior of the three-story building where he lived to his liking when he heard a knock on the door.

Wang Xiu went downstairs and opened the door, only to find that it was his chief bodyguard, An Ya.

"Your Highness, your teacher is here. Come out with me quickly." An Ya was a little anxious. She pulled Wang Xiu's hand and wanted to go out.

"What teacher?" Wang Xiu was a little confused. He had never heard of the existence of a teacher.

Neither Anya nor Love mentioned this to him.

And according to his understanding, the geniuses in the Qianwu Secret Realm do not seem to be able to afford the luxury of having a teacher for each of them.

"It's Marquis Gu Feng!" An Ya said anxiously, "Your Highness, there is no need to worry about so much now. Please follow me first. Marquis Gu Feng is waiting for you there."

"Gu Fenghou is one of the 'Eighteen Divine Generals' under the king's command. You must be careful and respectful and don't anger him."

Seeing An Ya so anxious, Wang Xiu said no more and followed him out.

When he arrived near the training ground, Wang Xiu saw at a glance a middle-aged man whose appearance and figure were very similar to those of an Earthling.

Even in the virtual universe, Wang Xiu could feel the eternal, ancient and powerful aura from the other party.

There is no doubt that this is an immortal, and an extremely powerful immortal!

Perhaps noticing Wang Xiu's arrival, the middle-aged man Gu Fenghou slowly turned around and looked at Wang Xiu.

boom!
Wang Xiu only felt an extremely powerful pressure of consciousness coming towards him, like an ancient sacred mountain, crushing him mercilessly.

Wang Xiu paused for a moment, and then returned to normal, as if this conscious pressure did not exist.

Gu Fenghou looked at Wang Xiu, whose expression remained unchanged, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he began to increase the intensity of his conscious pressure.

But Wang Xiu remained calm, his expression was normal, and his steps were slow.

Gu Fenghou immediately became interested and began to continuously increase the intensity of his consciousness pressure, wanting to see where Wang Xiu's limit was.

Finally, when he was three meters away from Gu Fenghou, Wang Xiu could no longer hold on, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

As Wang Xiu fainted, his body in the virtual universe also disappeared.

Anya's expression suddenly changed when he saw this scene.

Gu Fenghou's consciousness and pressure were only directed at Wang Xiu. An Ya didn't feel anything at all, so he didn't know the hidden truth and thought that Wang Xiu was dead.

Because normally, only when people die in the real universe will they leave the virtual universe so abruptly.

Seeing An Ya's panicked face, Gu Fenghou glanced at him and said calmly:
"Don't worry, he just fainted and his consciousness automatically exited the virtual universe."

"Just let him sleep for a few days. When he wakes up, ask him to come to the virtual universe to see me immediately. I'll be waiting for him here."

"Ah, okay." An Ya let out a long sigh, and then said respectfully, "Lord Gu Fenghou, I will leave the virtual universe first. If there is anything you need, please tell others to do it."

Gu Fenghou didn't say anything, but just waved his hand casually.

Upon seeing this, Anya secretly breathed a sigh of relief and exited the virtual universe to check on the situation of his own prince.

After seeing Anya's figure disappear, Gu Fenghou's expression showed a hint of surprise and smile.

"The strength of consciousness is comparable to that of a Realm Master..."

Yes, until the moment Wang Xiu lost consciousness, the intensity of the mental pressure exerted on him by Gu Fenghou had already risen to the peak level of a Realm Lord.

A normal star-level being would have collapsed and died long ago under the pressure of his own consciousness.

However, Wang Xiu persisted and reached the peak level of Realm Master.

Not to mention his talent in laws and talents, Wang Xiu’s will alone is enough to make Gu Fenghou excited.

For people of Gu Fenghou's level, talent for laws is certainly important, but what is more important is the will of the mind!
There are countless rare treasures in the universe, and there are some treasures that can assist in understanding the laws or even directly improve people's understanding of the laws.

For example, aren’t the fifty-two Chaos Monuments in Chaos City used to assist in comprehending the laws?

Treasures like this aren't even unique to the human race.

Not to mention other top ethnic groups, just take the Golden Horned Clan, an alien race that is dependent on the human race and lives in the territory of the Qianwu Universe. The effects of their so-called Holy Monuments and Chaos Monuments are almost the same.

As for directly improving the talent of the law, the most direct and effective way is to take over another person's body.

However, the will of the mind cannot be directly enhanced by external force.

To become a truly strong person, talent alone is not enough; more importantly, you need an indomitable will.

However, it is extremely difficult to improve one's willpower, and it can only be tempered little by little over time and experience.

For a little guy of such star quality, how long had he lived in total?
How much have you experienced?
It is incredible to have a will comparable to that of a Realm Lord.

"It seems like I have found a treasure this time." Gu Fenghou suddenly felt a real interest in teaching Wang Xiu.

Gu Fenghou is indeed good at teaching his disciples, but that doesn’t mean he likes teaching them.

To truly teach a disciple well is a very time-consuming and laborious task for him.

The few disciples he has now were all accepted by him a long time ago.

Now, he has been stuck at a bottleneck and unable to break through, so he has no intention of teaching his disciples.

But he had no way to refuse the order from the Lord of Qianwu. Originally, he just wanted to teach casually and just deal with it.

But now seeing Wang Xiu's amazing mental will, he changed his mind.

"This little fellow has an incredibly strong mental will and a good talent for the laws. At the stellar level he can comprehend the origin laws of gold and space at the same time, and he has crossed the threshold for both." Gu Fenghou said secretly in his heart.

"Anyway, my understanding of the laws has reached a bottleneck, and there is no hope of breaking through in a short period of time. It would be nice to come across a rare piece of rough jade and carve it carefully."

But Gu Fenghou didn't know that Wang Xiu's limits were far more than that.

……

In the real universe, in the Qianwu secret realm.

In Wang Xiu's room, An Ya left after confirming that he was fine.

"Hiss." Wang Xiu took a breath of cold air while lying on the soft big bed in the room. He touched his head and struggled to sit up. "My teacher is really persistent."

"Is it really that serious? Do you have to test out my limits?" Wang Xiu covered his head, feeling the needle-like pain in his brain, feeling helpless.

Wang Xiu's state of mind has now reached the second level, and he is very good at resisting this kind of pressure from will.

If he were to go all out, he would be able to withstand the will pressure of an ordinary immortal, not to mention a Realm Master.

But that would be too shocking.

Although Wang Xiuting looked down on ordinary immortals, thinking that ordinary immortals were just cannon fodder and not worthy of being on the stage.

Not to mention anything else, when Luo Feng was the realm master, he dared to fight with Feng Wang Wudi, and Feng Wang could kill one of them with one sword.

Even Luo Feng's wife Xu Xin, who had no talent for cultivation, became immortal in the end.

But in fact, Wang Xiu also knew that normally, to be able to become immortal is one in a million.

There are now over one million world masters in the entire Qianwu Universe, but there are only more than ten thousand immortals.

You must know that the lifespan of a world master is limited, and it is replaced every ten million years.

But immortality means infinite lifespan.

Only after generations of world masters have accumulated ten thousand immortalities.

It can be seen how difficult it is to break through from the realm master to immortality.

A stellar genius whose willpower can rival that of a realm master is already quite extraordinary.

Comparable to immortality?

That would be too much noise.

Wang Xiu is still too weak now and cannot withstand any storm.

Just like in the original novel, Hong exposed his character, will and talent, although he was finally successfully accepted as a disciple by Ju Axe.

But as a result, half of the ownership of the earth was forcibly sold.

This is under the premise that Hong was accepted as a disciple by Ju Axe.

If Hong had not been accepted as a disciple by Jufu, even though Luo Feng was already a master-level member of the original secret realm at that time, he would be nothing in front of those real high-level people.

They almost robbed it.

Therefore, Wang Xiu knew very well that the talent of the law could be easily exposed, because even the most monstrous geniuses had appeared in the history of the human race.

To the human race's high-level officials, no matter how great your talent in the laws of nature is, can you be more powerful than the original ancestor?
But the situation is different with regard to mental talent. This type of genius has never appeared in the endless history of the human race.

When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong, and people will definitely be curious.

It would be fine if Wang Xiu and the others' talents were real, but the reason they were like this was entirely because the Earth had been transformed by Zuo Shan Ke.

When people see it, they say, wow, what a great place.

You little guys are too young to control yourself, so hand them over to the tribe and they will give you candy.

By that time, Wang Xiu and the others had not grown up yet, but they would have no place to cry.

Genius? A genius who hasn't grown up is nothing.

Besides, our human race is one of the six top races in the original universe, so we have all kinds of geniuses.

Without a few of you, would our human race no longer be the pinnacle of the race?

"Huh, it's just as I thought. Although there is a little backlash, it's not a big problem. I estimate that I will be able to recover in a few hours." Wang Xiu checked and felt relaxed.

Wang Xiu fainted on purpose at that time. He was betting that this was just a test from Gu Fenghou and would never really hurt him.

Fortunately, he won the bet.

As for the mental will, apart from Wang Xiu himself, even Gu Fenghou was not clear about his true strength.

Plus it was also true that he fainted.

So in Gu Fenghou's eyes, Wang Xiu could not bear the pressure of the realm master's peak level consciousness and fainted in self-protection.

"An Ya, come in." After Wang Xiu rested for a while and felt that his head was not so painful anymore, he immediately shouted to the outside.

"Your Highness, are you awake?" After hearing Wang Xiu's call, An Ya, who had been guarding outside the door, pushed the door open and walked in. "Your Highness, how do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I'm fine, I just have a headache." Wang Xiu waved his hand, "But I'm much better now."

"Where is my teacher?" Wang Xiu asked directly.

"Lord Gu Fenghou is still waiting for you in your manor on Wuji Island. He told you to go find him immediately after you wake up." Anya said cautiously.

"Waiting for me?" Wang Xiu was stunned.

According to the information he just found out, this Marquis Gu Feng is very powerful. Although he is only a marquis, in terms of strength and realm, he can barely be called a king.

It's not a problem to become a king with some work.

It’s just that Marquis Gu Feng didn’t want to do so and always wanted to be crowned king based on his own strength.

But after countless years, he still didn't take that step.

But even so, Marquis Gu Feng is considered to be the strongest among the people under the command of Lord Qianwu.

Most importantly, he was very good at teaching his disciples, and one of his disciples was even granted a title of nobility.

It is also because of this that Wang Xiu values ​​​​Gu Fenghou so much.

"Yes, Your Highness." An Ya was a little surprised at this time. One of the Eighteen Divine Generals would actually be waiting for him in Wang Xiu's manor.

This Marquis Gu Feng really values ​​his own prince.

"Your Highness, do you want to enter the virtual universe to meet your teacher now?" Anya thought of this and said cautiously.

"I'm entering the virtual universe now." Wang Xiu said directly.

……

Virtual universe, Wuji Island.

Wang Xiu's figure appeared directly in his room.

When he pushed open the door, Anya was already waiting outside.

"Your Highness, Lord Gu Fenghou is in the reception room on the first floor." Anya said respectfully.

"Okay, I'll go there now." Wang Xiu nodded.

Arriving at the reception room on the first floor, Wang Xiu immediately saw Gu Fenghou sitting in a chair and sipping tea leisurely.

"I am Wang Xiu, a student, and nice to meet you, teacher." Wang Xiu came before Gu Fenghou and bowed respectfully.

"Haha, get up." Gu Fenghou was even more satisfied when he saw Wang Xiu being so polite.

"As soon as we met, I gave you a warning. Do you have any complaints?" Gu Fenghou put down the teacup in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Of course not." Wang Xiu shook his head and said seriously, "The teacher is just testing the students."

"As a famous teacher, you must understand the students' backgrounds. Otherwise, how can you teach them according to their aptitude?"

"Haha, good." Gu Fenghou was even happier when he heard this, "What a good way to teach students in accordance with their aptitude!"

He is indeed a famous teacher. He has always advocated using different methods for different students.

Before, I really wanted to know about the character and talents of this genius whom the King of Qianwu specially asked me to teach.

However, Wang Xiu summarized his teaching philosophy with incredible accuracy in just four words.

This really touched the itch in Gu Fenghou's heart.

"The king ordered me to teach you. Originally, I only wanted to teach you briefly for a period of time, but now I have changed my mind. I would like to accept you as my personal disciple. Are you willing?" Gu Fenghou said with a smile.

Although he had not yet truly witnessed Wang Xiu's talent for understanding the laws, he was somewhat moved by Wang Xiu's character and will, as well as the fact that he understood himself so well.

He wanted to accept Wang Xiu as his personal disciple.
