Swallowed Star: Holy Flesh

Chapter 155 It's You! (First Update)
Chaos City, City Lord's Mansion.

The bronze door of the Heart Mark Chaos Monument training room slowly opened.

"Everyone, come out!" Kandri looked inside and shouted in a low voice.

The sound entered the secret training room and kept echoing. Soon, figures flew out in the chaotic airflow, many of them covering their heads.

Wang Xiu was naturally among them.

Although he had experienced it many times, Wang Xiu still couldn't adapt to the devilish voice of Kandari.

"Lord Kendri." Wang Xiu came before Kendri, bowed respectfully as usual, and wanted to leave.

"Wang Xiu, wait a moment." Kandeli's old voice sounded.

"Huh?" Wang Xiu was a little surprised that Kandari actually spoke.

He came to comprehend the Heart Mark Chaos Monument so many times, and except for the first time when Kandri said a few words, he never spoke again.

At most, I would smile and nod when I bowed and greeted others.

Why did he suddenly speak today and just called my name?

The few people who came out with Wang Xiu also looked at Wang Xiu and Kandri with confusion. It was obvious that they were also very surprised by the scene in front of them.

However, they had just comprehended the Chaos Monument, and their minds were full of fragments of their understanding of the laws. They didn't want to waste time just watching the fun here.

After quickly greeting Kandri, they left quickly.

Wang Xiu also wanted to go back immediately to consolidate his understanding of the laws. He had just finished comprehending the Chaos Monument, and at this moment he only felt that his mind was overflowing with inspiration. He didn't want to waste time here.

But Kandri is a cosmic master after all, and a very powerful one at that.

Otherwise, he would not have been sent as a guardian to guard these 52 Chaos Monuments.

"Lord Kandri." Wang Xiu stopped helplessly and bowed respectfully, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Haha, nothing much." The three-eyed old man Candre laughed, "It's just that I haven't seen a kid as talented as you in many years. I just want to talk to you."

"It's just..." Kandri teased, "You look a little reluctant."

"Uh..." Wang Xiu's forehead suddenly darkened and he laughed dryly, "Lord Kandri is joking."

"Okay." The three-eyed old man, Kandri, smiled and waved his hands, "I won't tease you anymore. You don't have to be so scared."

"I just want to ask, which universe master are you going to choose as your teacher?"

"Hmm?" Wang Xiu was stunned. "Which one to choose? Is there any other choice?"

"Besides, I already have Master Ji Dao Wang."

"You don't know?" Kandri was also stunned when he heard this, and then he took a closer look at Wang Xiu's confused expression, realizing that he should not be lying. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized, "When you were comprehending the Chaos Monument, did you turn off the virtual universe network reception?"

"Yeah." Wang Xiu nodded.

"That's right." Kendari nodded.

In fact, Wang Xiu is not the only one who has this habit.

Most people in Chaos City would habitually turn off the virtual universe network reception when they entered the Chaos Monument's practice chamber to comprehend the Chaos Monument.

After all... no one likes to be disturbed by trivial matters when they are comprehending the Chaos Monument.

Even if you didn't have this habit before, you will develop it after being disturbed once.

Seeing that Wang Xiu looked completely clueless, Kandri made a random guess, and he got it right.

However, Kanderi understood, but Wang Xiu still looked as if he was kept in the dark.

"Um... Lord Kandari, can you tell me more about it? I still don't quite understand." Wang Xiu boldly asked.

"Haha." Kandri looked at Wang Xiu's cautious look and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's nothing."

"After the news of you breaking through the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge spread, many universe masters wanted to take you as their apprentice."

"But at that time, you were in this secret training room, comprehending the Chaos Monument, and they couldn't do anything to you."

"But now that you're out, you'd better decide as soon as possible which Universe Master to take as your master. Otherwise, you won't be able to withstand the pressure from so many Universe Masters." Kandri looked at Wang Xiu with a smile, his eyes full of teasing.

Sometimes, being too good can also be a problem.

Wang Xiu was silent.

After a while, Wang Xiu said quietly, "I have only just passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge. Are those universe masters that serious about me?"

"They are the sages of the universe!"

Now it was Candry's turn to be silent.

Just passed the eighth level?

What do you think of Tongtian Bridge?

As members of the cosmic-level original secret realm, the strongest one has practiced for thousands of years but has only just passed the eighth level.

You are a newcomer, and even if you count the thirty years in Chaos City, it is still less than a hundred years, and you have passed the eighth level. Are you still not satisfied?

"Let's go." Kandri suddenly felt a little bored. "I won't keep you here. You should think about how to deal with those universe masters."

"They're not as easy to talk to as I am."

Wang Xiu was speechless. He bowed respectfully and left quickly.

……

Chaos City, a large but simple mansion.

In the living room of the mansion.

"Jiujian, the most outstanding young man among this year's geniuses has just finished his training at the Chaos Monument." The three-eyed old man suddenly said with a smile, "Do you want me to test the attitude of this young man for you?"

"Oh?" The Nine Swords Master's eyes lit up, and then he hesitated and asked, "Is it convenient?"

"It's just a small matter, just a few words." Kandri smiled and waved his hand.

As an ancient being in the universe, Kendri is extremely powerful. In terms of strength, he is definitely on the same level as the Nine Swords Master.

Kandri's most famous move is the art of cloning.

Different from the immortal energy clone or the golden-horned beast's ability to give birth to clones, Kandri's clone technique can create many clones, and each clone has at least 60% of the combat power of the original.

Even if the clone was destroyed, it would not have much impact on Kandri.

This is also Kandri's greatest reliance in traveling the universe, and the most important reason why he was chosen as the guardian of the Chaos Monument.

Suddenly, Kendari frowned.

"What's wrong?" The Nine Swords Master raised his eyebrows.

Could it be that the little guy Wang Xiu didn't give face to Kanderi?
It shouldn't be.

According to the intelligence, although Wang Xiu is a very talented kid, he has a very good heart and is very polite even to those who are weak and of low status.

Not to mention facing a super being like Kandri.

"Nothing." Kandri looked a little strange. After thinking for a while, he said to the Nine Swords Master, "It seems that the little guy doesn't know that you are going to take him as your disciple yet."

"When he was comprehending the Chaos Monument, he directly shut down the virtual universe network reception."

"And... Wang Xiu seemed surprised that you wanted to take him in as your disciple just because he passed the eighth level of Tongtian Bridge."

"Surprised?" Venerable Nine Swords was a little confused.

Venerable Nine Swords was not puzzled about Wang Xiu's access to the virtual universe network. He knew about it when he sent the email.

But why was Wang Xiu surprised that he and others wanted to take him as a disciple?
"Hmm." Kandri said with some emotion, "Wang Xiu doesn't seem to think that breaking through the eighth floor is such a great thing."

"In fact... he didn't expect that a cosmic master would be eager to accept him as a disciple."

The Nine Swords Master then nodded slowly, and at the same time, his evaluation of Wang Xiu became even higher.

Victory is not arrogant, defeat is not discouraged.

This sentence seems simple, but it is easier said than done. There are very few people in the universe who can do it.

Anyone who can put this sentence into practice will generally achieve great success.

According to intelligence, Wang Xiu had been defeated by Bolan before, but he did not fall into despair. Instead, he came from behind and surpassed Bolan.

And now, in the first thirty years since Wang Xiu entered Chaos City, he has directly passed the eighth level.

The speed of cultivation is almost the same as those peerless geniuses who appear once in tens of millions of epochs.

If Wang Xiu had not been practicing for a short time, many great beings would still want to wait and see, and there would probably be even more people who would want to take him in as their disciple.

Despite such achievements, he is not at all arrogant.

This Wang Xiu is fully qualified to be called "not arrogant when winning, not discouraged when losing". "No problem." The Nine Swords Master waved his hand indifferently, "Let him think about it carefully."

"Master, Master. Although I want to accept him as my disciple, I have to be willing to accept him as my disciple. Let everything go with fate."

"Haha, you're quite open-minded." Candre raised his glass with a smile, "Come on, drink!"

……

While the two super beings, Venerable Nine Swords and Kandari, were chatting and laughing with each other, Wang Xiu had already arrived in front of the residence of King Ji Dao.

After saying goodbye to Kanderi, Wang Xiu directly separated a trace of his consciousness to connect to the virtual universe network.

As soon as he entered the virtual universe, Wang Xiu received hundreds of emails, all from human universe masters. The contents of the emails were similar, all wanting to accept him as a disciple.

Wang Xiu found some of the names familiar to him, such as the Nine Swords Master.

But there are many more venerable ones whose names Wang Xiu has never even heard of, let alone any understanding of them.

In fact, even among the people here, Wang Xiu didn't know much about the most familiar Nine Swords Master.

Wang Xiu only knew that the Nine Swords Master was extremely powerful, but to what extent he was powerful or what he was good at, he had no idea.

After all, in the original storyline, the Nine Swords Master did not appear many times, and the description of him was not very detailed.

In desperation, Wang Xiu could only seek help from his teacher Ji Dao Wang.

"Teacher." Wang Xiu walked into a courtyard and bowed respectfully.

"Sit down." King Jidao sat there tasting the exotic fruit wine, and also poured a glass for Wang Xiu.

"Yes." Wang Xiu sat aside.

“Haha! You surprised me this time.” King Ji Dao glanced at Wang Xiu and then laughed, “I’m afraid many universe masters have sent you emails!”

Wang Xiu nodded: "Yes, teacher."

"Well! Your progress is amazing. At this rate of progress, even if your speed of perception slows down in the future, it won't be that difficult to become an immortal god at the peak of the King level." King Ji Dao smiled, "After all, in history, there are peerless geniuses who appear once every tens of millions of epochs. Except for those who died in the middle of their careers, the weakest of the others are at the peak of the King level, and nearly one-third have entered the ranks of the Universe Supremes."

“Once they discover your amazing progress, they will definitely rush to accept you as their disciple… After all, the master-disciple relationship is the strongest.

"A million epochs later?" Wang Xiu was a little stunned. He had never doubted his talent.

But it seems that I have only passed the eighth floor of Tongtian Bridge?
Originally, Wang Xiu thought that he would have to wait until he passed the universe-level original Tongtian Mountain before he would be called a genius that appears once in millions of eras.

Unexpectedly, I am now known as a genius that appears once in millions of years, and these words came from the mouth of my own teacher.

"What do you think?" King Jidao said with a little amusement.

"Logically speaking, every genius who is said to appear once in a million epochs in history can pass through the original Tongtian Mountain."

"Although you haven't passed any of the original Tongtian Mountains yet, with the speed of improvement you've shown, it will be almost no problem for you to pass through the universe-level original Tongtian Mountains."

"Moreover, your cultivation speed is almost the same as those peerless geniuses who appear once every tens of millions of epochs in history."

Wang Xiu scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." King Jidao waved his hand, "Don't worry about this, it's just an empty title."

"Don't think that just because you are called a genius you are a special person. In history, there are many geniuses who appear once every millions of years, and many of them have fallen along the way."

"Those fallen geniuses, in terms of talent and trump cards, each one was not weak, but they still died."

"The most important thing for a cultivator is his own strength! Everything else is empty."

"Remember, only living geniuses are qualified to become strong. Once you die, there is nothing left."

"Yes, disciple will remember it." Wang Xiu said respectfully.

"Yes." King Ji Dao nodded in satisfaction, and then asked with a smile, "Have you thought it through?"

"Choose who to be the teacher."

"I..." Wang Xiu hesitated.

"Don't hesitate. Which strong man doesn't have a group of teachers?" King Ji Dao laughed. "Back then, I climbed up step by step from a weak person, and I also worshipped a group of teachers. After all, the ability of a teacher is limited. So for the development of mankind, we naturally cannot limit everyone to only have one teacher. That will only delay your talent."

"Yeah!" Wang Xiu nodded.

"There are many Universe Masters, but I don't know which one to choose." Wang Xiu said helplessly, "And I don't know much about them."

Deep down, Wang Xiu would rather become a disciple of the "Lord of Chaos City".

how...

The Lord of Chaos City did not send any email. As for the other 300-odd Universe Masters, Wang Xiu hardly knew any of them and had no idea who was strong and who was weak among them.

Those cosmic masters in the email naturally gave a brief description of their own abilities, but Wang Xiu certainly understood the principle of "Wang Po selling melons" and boasting about herself.

The descriptions of those cosmic masters themselves are not enough to be fully believed.

"That's true." King Ji Dao nodded, "Give me a list of the Universe Lords who sent you emails, and I'll select them for you."

"Thank you, teacher." Wang Xiu was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately sent the names of more than 300 universe masters to Ji Dao Wang through the virtual universe network.

"Wow, that's quite a lot." After receiving it, King Jidao raised his eyebrows, and then began to check it carefully.

Wang Xiu waited patiently on the side.

After a moment, King Ji Dao opened his eyes again and looked at Wang Xiu:
"I sent you the list, take a look."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiu immediately separated a trace of his consciousness to connect to the virtual universe network, and sure enough, he saw an email sent to him by Ji Dao Wang.

When I opened the email, I saw that there were a total of ten venerables in the email, and the first one was the name of Venerable Nine Swords.

"See?" King Jidao said with a smile.

"Yes." Wang Xiu nodded respectfully.

"These ten venerables are the strongest ones I selected from the more than 300 venerables. They are also the best at teaching disciples." King Ji Dao said with a smile.

"Just like the immortals are divided into military lord immortals, marquis immortals, and king immortals, the universe masters can also be divided into ordinary masters, middle masters, high masters, and universe overlords according to their strength."

"The universe overlords are divided into different levels, but this is too far away from you. Moreover, there are no universe overlords among the venerables who sent you emails. You don't need to understand it so clearly for the time being."

"These ten venerables I have selected for you are all at the level of high-level venerables in the universe in terms of strength, and their strength is considered to be top-notch among the high-level venerables." said King Ji Dao.

"And most importantly, they are all Space Lords." King Ji Dao said solemnly.

"The Universe Masters are divided into Time Masters and Space Masters according to the different laws they master."

"Among them, those who fully comprehend and master the laws of the origin of space are called Space Venerables, and those who fully comprehend and master the laws of the origin of time are called Time Venerables."

"You are from my Xinhen School, and you are also comprehending the laws of the origin of space. Naturally, it would be best for you to choose a space master as your teacher."

"I see." Wang Xiu nodded, indicating that he already knew.

However, Wang Xiu was still a little surprised. He originally thought that the strength of the Nine Swords Master was higher than that of the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom, and his strength should have reached the level of the overlord of the universe.

But now it seems that the Nine Swords Venerable should be just a high-level Venerable, but his strength is slightly higher than that of the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom.

As for why the King of Qianwu is in such a miserable state, he doesn’t even have a real king under his command.

Wang Xiu guessed that it was because he died too many times and owed a lot of debts, which led to no one being willing to follow him as a king.

"Each of these ten venerables has his or her own characteristics, which I have written down in the email. You can compare them carefully later and choose the one you like best." King Ji Dao said solemnly.

"The most favorite?" Wang Xiu was stunned. "Teacher, shouldn't you choose the one that suits me best?"

"Of course I have to choose the one I like best." King Ji Dao said as a matter of course, "These ten people are all venerables!"

"As far as understanding the laws is concerned, everyone is very suitable for you and is more than capable of teaching you."

"Moreover, they are all beings who have fully mastered the laws of the origin of space. In terms of the ability to teach the laws of the origin of space, each of them is much better than your teacher and me."

"After all, they have a bird's-eye view and their understanding of the laws of the origin of space is more thorough than that of my teacher. They can help you avoid many detours."

“When external conditions are similar, the one you like most is the most suitable for you!”

"The favorite one..." Wang Xiu lowered his head and thought quietly after hearing that.

Seeing this, King Jidao did not disturb him. He slowly sipped the wine and waited for Wang Xiu to make the final decision.

Although what King Jidao said made sense, the key point was that Wang Xiu knew nothing about these ten venerables.

I know a little more about the Nine Swords Master, but that's limited to knowing what he looks like.

As for personality...it's really hard for Wang Xiu to get any real feelings just by looking at the cold words.

"Forget it, let's choose him." After comparing them, Wang Xiu finally made up his mind.

　Sorry, it’s too late. I apologize to everyone. There will be another update today.
