Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

When Luo Feng contacted Babata to retrieve the hidden items, Babata roared, "Luo Feng! You're too trusting! Didn't you ever consider why he forced Bro to return, or why he suddenly disbanded the family? Isn't this a move to go solo and avoid implicating his family members?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng, for the first time, snapped at Babata, saying, "Babata, I won't allow you to say that about your teacher! Those are just guesses, just possibilities."

Among the many possibilities you've generated, isn't there simply one where the teacher knew Earth had the legacy of Hu Yanbo, keenly sensed the danger, and therefore gave up? Or perhaps, as a cosmic-level powerhouse, he disdained to seize someone else's planet?

"What do you mean by not caring about seizing it? If he submits the information first, he can legally and legitimately buy the Earth," Babata retorted.

"You said that the teacher could legally and legitimately buy the Earth, so why did he take me as his apprentice and give me money to buy the Earth?" Luo Feng questioned.

"I, I..." Babata was speechless for a moment after being confronted by Luo Feng.

"I know you're uncomfortable seeing me get close to Teacher Nuolanshan, but Babata, isn't my acceptance of Teacher Huyanbo's inheritance precisely to inherit the lineage of Meteorite Star, to become stronger, and to one day revive Teacher Huyanbo? In this process, I will inevitably have other teachers. Do you have to hate every single one of my teachers?"

Are you going to help me become stronger, or drag me down?

"If that's the case, then you'd better not follow me. I'll buy the smart device myself," Luo Feng said sincerely.

"...I'm sorry, Luo Feng." After a long silence, Babata finally chose to apologize to Luo Feng.

"I promise I will never interfere with your decisions again, I will only offer suggestions," Babata assured him.

Luo Feng smiled with relief. Having spent so many years with Babata, he really couldn't bear to let Babata leave.

This is the best possible outcome.

"I opened a new Cosmic Galaxy Bank account, and I deposited 0.5 Mixed Yuan Units into it. You can use it as you see fit. I know you like playing games and surfing the internet..." Luo Feng took out a new card.

"Luo Feng, I love you to death!" Babata was as happy as a child, kissed Luo Feng, and went off to play with the new card.

"Sigh, he's still just a child." Luo Feng shook his head with a smile, which reminded him of his two sons.

……

Virtual universe, night.

Suddenly, an enormous black banner with glowing edges appeared in the night sky above Heilongshan Island.

The notice was filled with characters that shone with a dazzling white light.

"The once-in-ten-thousand-years Battle of the Ultimate Human Geniuses is about to begin. Are you a genius? Can't find an opponent of your own level and rank? Then join the 'Battle of the Ultimate Geniuses,' where billions of geniuses from countless cosmic nations across the universe will engage in fierce battles!"

For more details, please access the virtual universe through the virtual assistant.

Oh!

The moment the announcement appeared, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Island erupted in excitement; the battle of the pinnacle geniuses had finally begun.

This is a grand event for the entire human race, a carnival that sweeps across 1008 universes.

Not only Heilongshan Island, but everyone who enters the virtual universe can see this notice, or rather, it's GG.

Even if an immortal were to sell everything they own, it would be impossible to deploy GG across the entire virtual universe, given its immense size.

Of course, this year's Genius Battle was organized by Virtual Universe Company itself, so GG does not require payment.

drop!

Almost at the same time as seeing GG, Nuolanshan received a message from Luo Feng.

"Teacher, registration for the Universe's Top Genius Battle has started. Should I register now or wait?"

"Go register now. By the way, do you know how to use the second level of the Divine Weapon?" Nuolanshan asked one last question.

"I've already mastered it," Luo Feng replied.

"Very good." Nuolanshan was very satisfied and praised him.

In the original novel, Luo Feng could only barely use the second level of the Divine Weapon at the end of the Genius Battle, but now he has mastered it. In addition, he has comprehended the Gold Domain, the Gold Law, and the Space Law in advance, so he is almost certain to win first place in this year's Genius Battle.

"Wait a minute! There seems to be a business opportunity here." Nuolanshan suddenly realized something and immediately searched for information about betting on the Genius Battle in the virtual universe.

Sure enough, it could be found, but since the Genius Battle has not officially started yet, it is only in the registration stage, so the betting market has not officially opened, but all the major betting companies have already given out GG.

[Genius Battle Betting, stay tuned!]

Nuolanshan didn't want to wait foolishly, so he ordered the AI ​​Afu, "If the Genius Battle opens for betting, use all the money in my account to bet on Luo Feng to win the championship."

"Master, the risk is too high. You could easily lose everything," Afu warned.

"It's alright, I have confidence in Luo Feng," Nuolanshan said confidently. If he didn't even have confidence in this, then he would have wasted his time traveling.

"Yes, Master, Afu will keep a close eye on things." This is the difference between Afu and Babata; Afu can make intelligent analyses, but he won't act on his own like Babata.

The Ultimate Genius Battle of the Universe is divided into several stages:

1. During the registration and selection phase, only those with a constant star rating can participate.

2. Selection stage of the universe: divided into preliminary rounds and arena competitions, with 1000 people selected from each universe nation.

3. Final stage of the Genius Battle: Since there are a total of 1008 universe nations, there are 1008000 geniuses. The top 1000 from these people will be selected to join the virtual universe core, and the champion will be determined from the top 1000.

Hargrave, who was keeping a close eye on Nolan Mountain, learned immediately that Luo Feng and others had signed up for the Genius Battle.

Hargrave issued an order: in the preliminary rounds, whenever you encounter anyone from the Qiulongxing Qianwu Dojo, fight them to the death and eliminate them.

Nolan Mountain remained holed up in the Qianwu Dojo, and Grave couldn't do anything about it. But he would never stand idly by and watch Nolan Mountain cultivate outstanding disciples; he was determined to stop it by any means necessary.

The Imperial Martial Arts Group was a force to be reckoned with, and the number of applicants was enormous. Luo Feng encountered them.

To be precise, Luo Feng was lying there peacefully when the Imperial Martial Corps recklessly attacked him.

Luo Feng showed no mercy, slaughtering them until they cried out in agony and fled incessantly. However, their escape was purposeful; they fled towards the Qianwu royal family's territory, harboring the idea of ​​using one enemy to devour another.

"How dare you trespass on the territory of my Qianwu royal family!" A patrolling member of the Qianwu royal family shouted, and immediately dozens of Qianwu royal family geniuses rushed out of the territory and surrounded Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng, you're just waiting to die. Hahaha..." The members of the Imperial Martial Group laughed loudly. That was the Qianwu royal family, the descendants of the great Qianwu king, the bloodline of the pinnacle of the human race, and the epitome of strength.

"Shut up!" Without hesitation, Luo Feng controlled the Sky Shuttle and ended the lives of the members of the Imperial Martial Corps in front of the geniuses of the Qianwu Royal Family.

"I'll be waiting for you in hell! Hahaha..."
