Debt Club.

On the second floor, there is a huge casino with all sorts of designs.

Suddenly
Someone shouted:

"The market is open! The market is open!"

"We're betting on how many levels of the Heavenly Bridge His Highness Luo Feng, the number one genius of the human race, can pass! Qualifications require verification; only those who are high-level cosmic venerables and possess suitable 'peak techniques' can participate in the bet!"

One by one, the kings watched.

Somewhat dumbfounded.

What's going on? Are they not even qualified to participate in the gambling?

Their gazes turned to the person in charge, and to their surprise, it was:
'Fuck the lord of the witch kingdom'!
"King of Qianwu Kingdom, what's going on? What are you trying to do?" A high-level cosmic venerable stepped forward and asked.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom looked up and saw a high-level cosmic venerable.

Only then did he begin to explain:

"In this bet, you will bring out your most proficient skills and have them reviewed by His Highness Luo Feng's intelligent life form. If they are deemed to have sufficient value, His Highness Luo Feng is willing to offer a high price to have you teach him your skills."

"Is it really that simple?" the high-level cosmic venerable asked.

"Of course not. This is a casino, so of course there are betting options. In six months, His Highness Luo Feng will attempt to cross the Heavenly Bridge."

"That's when."

"The price percentage will be determined based on the number of floors His Highness passes through."

"The 20th level is where you purchase courses personally taught and instructed by you at twice the price of your unique skills."

"Go through the 21st floor, and that's where the 20% discount comes from."

"If you get through the 22nd floor, that's a 60% discount."

"But if Your Highness has passed the 23rd floor..."

"That means it's free!"

"Teach us your secret techniques for free?" asked the High Cosmic Venerable.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom replied, "Yes, but Your Highness must pass the twenty-third level. This is the content of the bet. You bet that Your Highness's improvement speed is slow. If you win, you will make a lot of money. If you lose, you will have to pass on your secret techniques to Your Highness."

The High Universe Venerable thought for a moment
Surely His Highness Luo Feng couldn't possibly only have 20 floors, right?

After so much time, there must have been some improvement, so the best I could do is sell the secret techniques at an 80% discount, which would definitely result in a loss.
but.

The one being taught is Prince Luo Feng, a human!
He suddenly felt that this was worth a try. Since he had nothing to do recently, it wouldn't hurt to pass on his unique skills to Prince Luo Feng.

That person is the future ruler of the universe for humanity!

"I regestrated!"

The first one appeared.

"I've come too!" Venerable Si Xun, who had once been hired by Luo Feng to work for the Kou clan, came on his own initiative after hearing the call from the Qianwu Kingdom Lord.

Soon more and more people joined in, with friends inviting friends to sign up.

As long as I'm not too busy.

Everyone knows this is a great thing.

The person being taught is none other than His Highness Luo Feng of the human race! Even if it were teaching, how troublesome could it be? It's just a peak-level ultimate technique. If it were an ordinary immortal, His Highness could probably learn it in a few years.

but.
The requirement is to impart the ultimate techniques at the peak level of the 'Cosmic Venerable', which is definitely more difficult to master than the ultimate techniques of the King!

In the original story of "Seven Transformations of the Divine Transformation", Luo Feng mastered the first chapter of the fifteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, which is equivalent to a Marquis-level move. At that time, Luo Feng was also a Realm Lord. The Chaos City Lord gave him a test of three thousand years, and Luo Feng learned it in eight hundred years.

Of course, the teachings were given to the 'Golden Axe Venerable', not to the creator Herodo.

Therefore, teaching such unique skills actually takes a very long time.

However, many non-human venerables believe that...

If His Highness Luo Feng learns this, it certainly won't be long before he does!
Even at the level of a cosmic sage.

His Highness Luo Feng's understanding of the laws is likely already at the level of a Universe Venerable. Surely he could teach him a general understanding over ten thousand years?
A 60% or 80% discount is perfectly acceptable?

Different unique skills, different content, different prices.

But almost.
There is no one who will refuse a quote.

The news of the gambling game spread far and wide, and countless people were curious about how many levels Luo Feng could clear, with most guessing the 21st level.

A profound understanding from a cosmic sage who is thousands of years old.

That's so scary!

Moreover, isn't the core of such gambling usually to reduce the cost of learning secret techniques and secret arts?
Secret skills are not usually taught easily.

but.
If it's Prince Luo Feng, then it's different. The fact that the number one genius of the human race can learn the ultimate technique of a high-level universe venerable like you is a sign of respect!
Human-to-human transmission.

More and more people participated, and eventually a thousand High Universe Venerables were selected, until the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom announced the cessation of registration for High Universe Venerables.

We only accept 'ultimate techniques'!

"Higher Universe Venerable, please step aside."

"The quantity is sufficient."

"There are too many. His Highness said he doesn't want to learn that many of the top-tier techniques! As for the ones he has now, His Highness probably won't learn the inferior ones in the future."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom enjoyed the envious gazes of other high-level cosmic beings of the same rank, working for Prince Luo Feng, who was destined to become the future ruler of the universe.

He has gradually squeezed into the ranks of Prince Luo Feng's confidants!

One after another.

Month after month passed.

Many of the alien overlords of the Hongmeng have become interested.

Ultimate techniques, he eventually collected more than twenty sets, all belonging to cosmic overlords, and even top cosmic overlords from alien races.

This isn't just about giving out ultimate techniques.
The corresponding creators also need to provide personal guidance!
It's a waste of time and energy.

Basic
All the cosmic overlords came because of Luo Feng's reputation.

Six months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Debt Club, with its thousands of participants, was now focused on and waiting to see how many levels Prince Luo Feng would pass through on the Heavenly Bridge.

It was like a grand event, with a large number of cosmic venerables present.

More than twenty cosmic overlords gathered
At the very center of the first floor stood the club's owner, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, who observed the spending of each powerful individual and the club's bustling atmosphere that day.

I am filled with boundless gratitude for Your Highness Luo Feng!

Each and every seat.

The hierarchy is clear, with the cosmic overlords sitting at the very front.

"King of Qianwu Kingdom, you should know some inside information, right? How many levels can Your Highness pass through?" Palace Master Xiyu asked. She was an alien universe overlord and one of the members who had been taught the ultimate technique.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom smiled but remained silent.

"I guess it's the 21st floor. I'd be happy to sell the secret techniques at a 20% discount to His Highness Luo Feng. My peak secret techniques are simple, and His Highness shouldn't have to spend much time learning them," said a high-level cosmic venerable. He had also been resurrected by his race several times and was quite in debt.

Venerable Master Si Xun said:

"I guess it's the 22nd floor. Your Highness's asking price was already high, and I'd be willing to teach you even at a 60% discount. To be frank, apart from ultimate techniques, our peak techniques are only of reference value to Your Highness, aren't they?"

"correct."

"I can accept a 40% discount."

"It's already worth it to get to know Prince Luo Feng. What's the point of earning treasure points?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom suddenly waved his hand.

"Wow~"

A giant screen appeared in the entire Debt Club, showing Luo Feng entering the Tongtian Bridge dimension.

"Please enjoy watching His Highness Luo Feng's challenge."

moment.

The whole place fell silent.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom stepped aside and watched from a distance.

In fact, he didn't know how many Heavenly Bridges Prince Luo Feng could cross.

They watched intently.

Seeing Luo Feng advance unstoppably to the twentieth level, they were not surprised. Many years ago, Luo Feng had already passed through the Primordial Tongtian Mountain at the Realm Lord level.

Twentieth floor. Passed!

Extremely easy.

Clearly, the twenty-first floor is not a problem.

If you pass the twenty-first floor.

The tuition fee immediately became 20% off.

“That’s normal. Surely no one would enroll just to earn twice the tuition fee of His Highness, right? Hahaha! Aren’t we all here because of His Highness’s status? I’ll accept any discount, whether it’s 20% or 40%!” Venerable Si Xun laughed.

Laughter immediately filled the hall.

Obviously
Most people don't sign up to earn points.

"Tsk tsk, you guys are rich. I'm really here to earn some treasure points. I hope for an 80% discount. After all, teaching someone to master a secret technique, even for His Highness Luo Feng, would probably take nearly ten thousand years, right? The time cost isn't low!" A high-level universe venerable, burdened with four-star debt, said this. His name was 'Venerable Yunming,' a venerable from the Hong Alliance's alien race. He had a rather unique appearance, with two heads...

He came from a weak race called the 'Multi-Headed Clan'. Within their clan, the more heads a person had, the clearer their understanding of the laws of time, and the higher their talent for these laws.

Someone like him, who only has two heads, has a very poor talent for the laws of time.

Yunming Venerable's ability to cultivate to the level of a High-Level Universe Venerable is legendary within their Multi-Headed Clan. He is also the only Space Venerable among the Multi-Headed Clan!
After a discussion.

Upon seeing:
in the picture.

After Luo Feng stepped onto the twenty-first level of the Sky Bridge, the entire Debt Club immediately fell silent. He manipulated the countless stars and unleashed an extremely high-intensity burst of energy towards the guardian of the twenty-first level.

one move.

Level 21, passed!

So easy.

obvious
The twenty-second floor should definitely not be a problem.

That's a 40% discount!
"..."

The multi-headed 'Venerable Yunming' was stunned.
He felt somewhat cheated.

It's 60% off.

He's in a hurry to pay off his debts right now. How long would it take to teach a realm lord his ultimate secret technique?

Even if Prince Luo Feng has high comprehension...

It must have taken close to ten thousand years, right?
Throughout the hall, there were many people who felt they had wasted their time and effort. Many of them felt that the 20% discount on the teachings was worthwhile, and that they were also able to get to know Prince Luo Feng.

A 60% discount means a significant loss.

but
A bet must be accepted!

No one made a fuss here. They were all cosmic venerables, and the smaller the group, the more they knew that Luo Feng could only be appeased, not offended.

They had heard a rumor.

Whether it is completely accurate is unknown; it is pieced together from some words spoken by high-ranking venerables such as 'Venerable Si Xun' and 'Lord of Qianwu Kingdom'.

Roughly speaking:

One of the Seventy-Two Divine Generals, 'Venerable Zidou Kou', a top-tier overlord, stole something from Prince Luo Feng.

So His Highness Luo Feng invited the Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, along with twenty other Universe Venerables.

They almost wiped out the entire Kou clan!
Those small ethnic groups wouldn't dare offend them.

"A 60% discount! And we have to teach them our ultimate techniques. Oh well, who told us to be so stupid?" one of the cosmic venerables muttered.

But it didn't take long.

From the high vantage point, Luo Feng continued to conquer the Heavenly Bridge. He reached the twenty-second level, and as a result, it was still not very difficult.

Cleared.

It looks very easy.

Suddenly
The whole place was quiet.

There wasn't even a whisper anymore.

Because they understood that this human prince, Luo Feng, would most likely be able to pass the twenty-third level! The bet was probably aimed at getting to learn their secret techniques for free.

soon.

The result came true.

Prince Luo Feng has cleared the twenty-third floor!
"We've passed the twenty-third floor!"

"free!"

"Your Highness Luo Feng has only been cultivating for a few thousand years, right?"

"Yes."

They whispered among themselves.

Instead of being discounted by 40% and then free, most people showed no dissatisfaction; in fact, many even appeared delighted.

especially
It mainly consists of those cosmic overlords.

They originally came for Luo Feng, but now that Luo Feng's cultivation speed has become even more astonishing, the significance of their coming to befriend him is naturally even greater.

Those high-level cosmic venerables hardly care whether it's free or not.

Thousands of years.

Insights into the Laws of the Middle Universe Venerable!
At this moment, the significance of being able to teach Prince Luo Feng his ultimate techniques outweighs the gain of those precious treasure points.

"Wow~"

Luo Feng arrived at the Debt Club, bearing the title of 'SSS-level Creditor'. He smiled and said, "Gentlemen, according to the bet, you should teach me your ultimate skills for free."

"I don't think anyone's going to renege on their promise, right?"

"Your Highness's improvement is so rapid; we misjudged your strength. I, Xiyu, am willing to accept defeat!" Palace Master Xiyu first stood up, then spoke with Luo Feng, her face full of eager smiles.

"Yes. It is our honor to be able to teach Your Highness your unique skills."

One by one, the cosmic overlords stood up, and the high-level cosmic venerables reacted quickly, all standing up as well; no one remained seated.

Thousands of years.

The twenty-third level is the sky bridge.

The Laws and Insights of a Venerable One of the Middle Universe!

This is horrible.

They all felt that Luo Feng might not be the future ruler of the universe for humanity, but rather the next strongest being in the universe for humanity!
Amid cheers.

The multi-headed clan's 'Venerable Yunming' rose to his feet and cautiously called out, "Your Highness Luo Feng."

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Luo Feng's gaze passed through the cosmic overlords.

Venerable Yunming said, “Look at the tag on my head, I have a lot of debts. Of course, I don’t want to break the bet. I just want to discuss with you and agree on a time when I will teach you the secret technique, so that it doesn’t coincide with my trip to some secret realms to earn treasures and pay off my debts.”

"After all, it might take nearly ten thousand years to impart a secret technique."

"May I?"

Luo Feng looked over, inquired about Babata, and learned of his identity and his secret technique. He smiled and said:

"Is Venerable Yunming right? He has mastered the ultimate martial art, 'Empty Blade'?"

“Yes.” Venerable Yunming nodded repeatedly.

"There must be decades to come, right?" Luo Feng asked.

Venerable Yunming was taken aback.

I don't understand what this means?
But saying:

"Some princes may have lived for decades, but what do you mean by that?"

The other venerable ones in the hall also looked over, and indeed some of them were curious. They also wanted to arrange their time to teach at the appropriate time.

Luo Feng shook his head and said:

My meaning is very simple.

"that is"

"Why would I need to study a mere peak skill for ten thousand years? I'm even giving an exaggeration of a few decades. I don't need to learn it all."

"Pick some key items; they probably won't be needed for several years."
