Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 50 Bumblebee, Transformation (Part 1)

"Bumblebee, what's going on?"

Qi Yuan quickly asked in his mind.

"Mysterious pull. Very important. Crack appears, capture."

The intelligence of the stellar-level metallic life form, Bumblebee, is still very limited; it can only express very vague ideas.

After a long conversation, Qi Yuan finally managed to roughly understand what it was trying to say.

"You mean there might be something very important to you behind the spatial rift, and you can try to capture it when the rift appears next time?"

"Yes, Master!" Bumblebee immediately replied with a joyful and encouraging thought.

Qi Yuan was immediately puzzled.

What is it that can make Bumblebee sense something even through a spatial rift?

Although bumblebees are extremely rare metallic life forms, they are currently only at the stellar level, which is equivalent to being in their infancy. How could they possibly be connected to the beings beyond the spatial rift?

His mind raced, but in the end, he politely declined the kind invitation from Brother Qian.

"Thank you for your consideration, Brother Qian. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't be traveling with you all for the time being. Brother Dongyu, could you please give me your virtual universe ID? We can contact each other in the virtual universe later to discuss the distribution of the treasure's benefits."

"Uh"

Upon hearing this, Dong Yu hesitated and looked at Qi Yuan. "I can give you the virtual universe number, but I'll pass on the distribution of profits. We didn't even help when we were fighting for that treasure."

"But Brother Yuan, are you sure you want to act on your own? I bet there are quite a few people watching you right now."

Qi Yuan waved his hand gently:

"Don't worry, even if I can't beat someone, I'm confident I can escape. Alright, I'll be going now. We'll keep in touch in the virtual universe later."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly to Dong Yu and Brother Qian and the others, and then transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished in an instant.

"Hehe, Brother Dongyu, it seems your friend doesn't quite trust Old Qian."

Watching Qi Yuan's departing figure, the old man with blue scales all over his body grinned, revealing a self-deprecating smile.

"Hey, Brother Qian, don't overthink it!"

Dong Yulian defended Qi Yuan, saying, "Brother Yuan probably really has something special going on. As you know, their Virtual Universe Company often assigns training tasks to its talented members, and they probably received a similar request for this exploration of the secret realm ruins."

"maybe"

Brother Qian's eyes kept flashing.
After parting ways with Dong Yu and the others, Qi Yuan sped off.

After carefully avoiding the battlefields where powerful beings of the universe were engaged in fierce combat, he quickly arrived at the edge of a weak zone in space.

"Is this the place where you felt the strongest sensation just now?"

Qi Yuan confirmed this with Bumblebee in his mind.

“Yes, Master,” Bumblebee affirmed.

After receiving a positive reply, Qi Yuan hesitated slightly, but ultimately made up his mind.

He flew aimlessly toward a nearby fragment of uninhabited land. The moment he landed, a ball of golden liquid immediately detached from his feet and quickly seeped into the depths of the earth.

Within that mass of golden liquid, a silver-white spatial ring was tightly encased.

Having done all this, Qi Yuan didn't linger. He directly broke away from the weak point in the space and transformed into a bolt of lightning, rapidly disappearing into the distance. After incorporating a trace of the essence of the laws of lightning into his movement technique, his speed reached a terrifying level. In almost an instant, he vanished from sight.

"Huh? He really left?" The older brother Qian who was with Dongyu was slightly surprised.

The group of cosmic-level powerhouses who had previously competed with Qi Yuan for the golden paper also couldn't help but look in the direction he left.

"Damn! That guy is too shrewd; he actually ran away with the treasure!"

"Wow, he's so fast! We probably can't catch up with him even if we wanted to!"

"Forget it, consider him lucky. It's just a treasure. Let's keep waiting."

The spatial rifts in this area have erupted four or five times, and almost every time they have brought out dozens or even hundreds of all kinds of strange items.

Therefore, no one was willing to abandon the large amount of treasures that might appear at any time to keep chasing after Qi Yuan.

In a mountain cave tens of thousands of kilometers away from the vulnerable area of ​​space.

After confirming that he was out of everyone's sight, Qi Yuan immediately turned a jade bracelet on his wrist.

Suddenly, his height began to increase rapidly, growing to nearly two and a half meters. His muscles became bulging, and a thick beard appeared on his face.

Even his life force changed slightly in the end, becoming somewhat obscure and unclear.

The emerald bracelet is called the 'Fraud Bracelet'. It was a rather practical little gadget that he obtained using a rare return opportunity before heading to the secret ruins.

Its effect is to slightly alter the user's vital signs, and it cannot be detected by those below the Realm Lord level, which is quite helpful for Qi Yuan's current situation.

Once the changes in his physical form and characteristics were complete, Qi Yuan put his signature ice-blue battle armor and Silent Soul Blade into his world ring, and changed into a set of ordinary black Force battle armor and a battle sword.

He then left through another exit of the winding cave and rushed back towards the vulnerable zone of space where cosmic-level clouds gathered.

Space-weak zone.

The recent battle for the treasures has come to an end.

After a fierce battle, at least seventy or eighty cosmic-level powerhouses from various forces perished.

It's important to understand that these aren't planetary or stellar-level cannon fodder, but powerful cosmic-level beings capable of suppressing entire star systems on a regular basis.

The fall of such a large number of cosmic-level powerhouses is likely to cause considerable shock to the entire Eternal Empire.

Despite the heavy casualties, the gains for all parties were also substantial.

The Eternal Empire's royal family, with the largest number of members, managed to seize more than half of the treasures in one go!

This even includes an immortal weapon of immeasurable value!

That's a powerful treasure that even the two Holy Lords of the Eternal Empire coveted!

The other three major organizations and the various realm lord families, while reaping less rewards, still made a fortune.

After all, the treasures that appeared in the spatial rifts before were at least at the level of cosmic crystals!
After the bloodshed and the harvest, the powerful beings of various factions began to redistribute their territories according to their respective strengths, awaiting the opening of the next wave of spatial rifts.

Those with the strongest power, such as those at the eighth or ninth level of the cosmic realm, naturally occupy the core area of ​​the weak spatial zone, which is also the place where the most treasures appear every time a spatial rift opens.

Those with weaker strength can only be relegated to the periphery, serving as 'passenger posts' for occupying territory.

In the area closest to the edge of the entire weak zone of space, a burly warrior of the first level of the universe, wearing a black Force battle suit and standing nearly two and a half meters tall, seemed to have just arrived and quietly landed on a meteorite landmass in the edge area.
