Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 49 Mysterious Sensation
Qi Yuan unleashed his movement technique, his entire body seemingly transforming into a streak of purple lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he broke free from the encirclement of a group of cosmic-level powerhouses and landed on a huge fragment of land in the distance.

"Whoosh~"

Seeing that he had escaped, Dongyu and the others did not continue to entangle with the enemy and retreated to his side.

"No, bro, are you sure you understood what I said before? Didn't we agree to keep a low profile?"

Dong Yu looked at Qi Yuan with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

Does this guy understand "keeping a low profile" as simply charging headlong into a dozen or so enemies whose strength is no less than his own?
"But brother, you're really fierce. You cut down a fourth-tier cosmic-level mentalist with a single strike. No wonder you're a genius who can be absorbed by the Virtual Universe Company. But shouldn't a genius like you be inside the Virtual Universe Company? How come you're still an external member?"

Dongyu was filled with doubts, but before he could say anything, he heard his 'Brother Yuan' beside him give him a serious reminder.

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly find the experts from your Imperial Sea Pavilion, let's get closer!"

As they spoke, they saw the dozen or so cosmic-level experts who had been forced back approaching them again.

Even those who were a little further away saw the treasure fall into their hands and quickly approached them.

The treasure is truly captivating!
Although Qi Yuan had just killed Gongsun Bai of the Thousand Blades Sect in one move, demonstrating extraordinary combat power, his cultivation level was only at the first level of the Universe Realm.

There were at least dozens of cosmic-level experts approaching from the surrounding area, including many cosmic-level fifth and sixth-order masters!

The allure of the treasure, coupled with an overwhelming numerical advantage, naturally made it impossible for anyone to back down easily!
Upon seeing this situation, Dong Yu immediately realized what was happening.

"Yes, yes, hurry up, let me see. Hey, over there, Brother Qian is closer to us, quick, let's go over there!"

As for the treasures we've acquired?
Nonsense! If we didn't manage to snatch it, fine. But now that it's in our hands, are we really going to hand it over?
"go!"

Dongyu called out and flew quickly toward another meteorite fragment not far from them.

At the same time, on that meteorite fragment, a blue-scaled man with a vertical eye between his eyebrows and holding a dark force staff, who had received Dong Yu's telepathic message, lit up. He forcefully pushed back the opponent blocking his way with a single blow and quickly approached them.

"They want to run!"

"Want to leave? Leave the treasure behind first!"

"Stop!"

The moment Qi Yuan and his group set off, dozens of cosmic-level powerhouses who had been drawn to the golden paper were immediately attracted as well.

Without any further hesitation, the powerful beings at the cosmic level immediately launched their attacks!

A barrage of blades, sword shadows, and telekinetic weapons rained down on Qi Yuan and his companions, almost completely blocking their escape route.

"You go first!"

Qi Yuan let out a low shout, and his entire body instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, rushing towards the right front.

In this process, he has even incorporated a trace of the essence of law into his movement technique.

In his previous life, lightning always represented the ultimate speed in the world!
Now, with just a trace of artistic conception, his entire figure has become blurred and uncertain.

"Chi~"

Like a flash of lightning, Qi Yuan's figure appeared instantly in front of a fourth-level cosmic-level expert with three sharp horns on his head.

"Damn it, why is it coming at me?!"

The triangular universe-level powerhouse had just witnessed Qi Yuan's instant kill of Gongsun Bai, so he naturally dared not be careless.

"Come help me!"

He shouted in a panic, and at the same time, the golden light flashed from the huge spiked club in his right hand. He immediately swung it wildly at Qi Yuan's charging figure!
However, just as he was about to be struck by the giant spiked club, Qi Yuan's figure flashed in a strange zigzag pattern, like a zigzag lightning bolt.

"Pfft!" The Silent Soul Blade swept across like lightning, instantly sending a huge head with three sharp horns flying.

Qi Yuan's figure flashed like a zigzag phantom, forcing back five or six third or fourth-tier universe-level enemies with a single strike. After exchanging a fierce blow with a fifth-tier universe-level expert, he used the recoil to retreat instantly.

While he was drawing the attention of all the enemies, Dong Yu and his companions had already evaded the others' encirclement and sped off towards the direction of the man with the vertical-eyed blue scales.

"Haha, anyone who dares to lay a hand on my Yuhai Pavilion members, get out of my way!"

As the blue-scaled man approached them, he unleashed his ferocious aura as an eighth-level cosmic being without reservation!
Upon being struck by this powerful aura, the group of universe-level powerhouses who had been surrounding Xiang Dongyu and his companions hesitated and slowed down.

"Damn, it's Qian Laoliu from Yuhai Pavilion!"

"It seems we're out of luck with this treasure. What a waste for those people from the Imperial Sea Pavilion!"

"Let's get out of here, damn it, another wasted effort."

The hunters, whose strength was generally at the second or third level of the cosmic level, and slightly stronger ones at the fourth or fifth level, quickly dispersed with resentment, turning around and rushing to other battlefields.

Among the more than three thousand cosmic-level powerhouses in the entire weak zone, the number of those who have reached the eighth level of the cosmic level is definitely no more than 50.

Trying to snatch food from the jaws of such a powerful figure is obviously unrealistic; it's better to try your luck elsewhere.

Here, the man with the green scales quickly met up with Dong Yu and the others.

"Haha, Dongyu brothers, you guys are pretty lucky! You've only been here for less than a day and you've already managed to snatch a treasure!"

The man with the blue scales seemed to be talking to Dong Yu, but his gaze was uncontrollably drawn to Qi Yuan.

He was not far from Qi Yuan and the others, so he naturally witnessed the process of him instantly killing Gongsun Bai of the Thousand Blades Sect with a single strike and seizing the golden paper treasure.

A first-tier cosmic-level being instantly killed by a fourth-tier cosmic-level being!
Even to him, a veteran cosmic-level powerhouse, this was an absolutely stunning performance!

It's estimated that only powerful geniuses from major cosmic nations, or even the five superpowers, could achieve this level of skill!

"Haha, Brother Qian, we really owe you a lot for helping us this time!"

Dong Yu smiled and looked at the man with blue scales. Noticing that the man's gaze kept darting towards Qi Yuan, he quickly introduced him.
"By the way, Brother Qian, this is Brother Yuan from outside the Virtual Universe Company. Brother Yuan is under Elder Bu Chen's jurisdiction outside the Virtual Universe Company, so he's practically family with us!"

As he spoke, he specifically emphasized one point—

"Besides, it was Brother Yuan who snatched that treasure this time; the rest of us didn't even have to lift a finger."

"Oh? So you're a genius from the Virtual Universe Company. No wonder you were able to kill two fourth-tier Universe-level beings in succession."

The man with the green scales, Brother Qian, nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, but very carefully did not mention anything related to the treasure again.

“Brother Dongyu, Brother Yuan, this battle is likely to continue for quite some time. For now, you two should work with me.”

"Oh? That's wonderful, Brother Qian! If we can come with you, our safety will be guaranteed!"

Dongyu readily agreed.

Qi Yuan did not refuse.

Now that this region is home to more than three thousand cosmic-level powerhouses, it is indeed somewhat lonely for one person to act alone.

"Okay then."

However, just as he was about to agree, a powerful thought filled with endless trembling and longing suddenly surfaced in his mind.

"Master, key, tower, summon."
