Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

Nuolanshan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a three-meter-tall, four-armed, one-eyed giant boy with a kind face walking quickly toward him.

"Do we know each other?" Nolanshan had a good memory and didn't recall ever seeing this boy before.

"Teacher, my name is Demon Hammer. Luo Feng is the elder brother I've recognized, so his teacher is naturally my teacher as well," Demon Hammer said with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Nolanshan remembered that in the original work, this was a figure of note in the Genius Battle. He was a member of the Dark Gara clan, a high-level bloodline of the human race, and was naturally close to the fundamental law of earth.

Demon Hammer said happily, "I never expected to meet you here. To be honest, after hearing about you from Brother Luo, I always wanted to go to Qiulong Star to become your disciple, but I was quite sad when I learned that you were no longer here."

Nuolanshan's lips twitched as he said, "Magic Hammer, has anyone ever told you that you have a very unpleasant way of speaking?"

What does "gone" mean? What does "you're very sad" mean? It makes me feel like I'm dead. It's really disgusting to hear.

"Yes, that's what my parents say about me, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Teacher, where did I go wrong just now?" Magic Hammer asked, scratching his head.

"No, you're absolutely right." Arguing with this idiot was a waste of her breath, so Nuolanshan decided to give up.

"Teacher, is this your first time in the Qianwu Space? How about I show you around?" Mo Chui offered to lead the way for Nuolanshan.

Nuolanshan thought for a moment. The Qianwu Space was too large, and it would indeed be inconvenient without guidance, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Demon Hammer."

"It's nothing," Demon Hammer laughed.

The Demon Hammer then began to lead the way. However, his body was enormous, and he walked with his head held high. One of his steps was equivalent to three steps of Nolan Mountain's, and soon the two had a considerable distance between them.

"Teacher, why are you walking so slowly?" Mo Chui asked Nuolanshan curiously as he turned around.

Nuolanshan didn't want to talk.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you have short legs," Magic Hammer said again, adding to the annoyance.

"Magic Hammer, you should be glad this is a virtual universe," Nolanshan said angrily. If it weren't a virtual universe, he would have definitely destroyed Magic Hammer.

That kid has no sense of language.

"Yes, thanks to the virtual universe, otherwise I would never have met my teacher." Demon Hammer clearly did not understand the implied meaning in Noranshan's words.

Nuolanshan was speechless, thinking to himself: What a complete idiot.

"Teacher, sit on my shoulders. The headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo is huge." As he spoke, Mochui picked up Nuolanshan like a child and then skillfully placed him on his shoulders.

"Put me down!" Nuolanshan struggled.

How old am I? You treat me like a child. Do you have no shame?

"Teacher, be careful not to fall. I'll support you." Mo Chui ignored him and thoughtfully used all four of his hands to support Nuolanshan to prevent him from falling.

Four hands, like iron clamps, firmly locked Nuolanshan, leaving him no room to struggle. Helpless, Nuolanshan could only submit to their will.

After walking a distance, he discovered that he wasn't the only one sitting on someone else's shoulders; many shorter humans were sitting on the shoulders of taller humans. This was a common phenomenon and a symbol of intimacy; after all, who would let you sit on their shoulders if you weren't on good terms?

Nuolanshan turned his head to look at Tie Hanhan and found that although the kid couldn't speak well, he was quite sincere. If given a choice, anyone would choose to associate with someone like that.

"Teacher, that's...that's..." Demon Hammer explained the headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo to Nolan Mountain in detail.

Looking at this simple-minded man, Nuolanshan asked, "Magic Hammer, have you joined the Qianwu Secret Realm?"

"I've already joined. I recently comprehended the Law of Earth and was recommended by the Qianwu royal family to join the secret realm," Demon Hammer replied, making no attempt to hide anything from Nuolanshan.

"Not bad, not bad. You've comprehended the laws before you even reached adulthood. You're much stronger than me," Nuolanshan praised sincerely.

"It's alright. Our Dark Gara clan members are at the cosmic level as adults, which is much higher than other lower-level bloodlines starting from a high level," Demon Hammer said truthfully.

Nuolanshan took a deep breath and remained silent. This simpleton really couldn't speak properly. Although there was nothing wrong with what he said, it sounded extremely harsh to others because Nuolanshan was the low-level bloodline he was referring to.

His cosmic-level strength wasn't something he possessed at adulthood, but rather something he accumulated step by step.

"Teacher, why aren't you saying anything?" Magic Hammer asked curiously.

"If you don't want to talk, I advise you to talk less in the future," Nuolanshan warned.

"That sounds familiar. My parents always say that about me, but I don't see anything wrong with it. I'm an honest person and I never lie," Demon Hammer said with a self-satisfied air.

"Yes, keep it up." Nuolanshan then asked, "Is there a ranking system at headquarters? Who is the number one genius at Hengxing?"

"Rankings are available, of course. You just need to log in to the Qianwu Dojo's intranet and then go to headquarters. Of course, people in the general branches can't see them. Now that you've been promoted, your access should be unlocked as well," Demon Hammer said.

Nuolanshan immediately instructed the AI ​​assistant, Afu, to operate it, and sure enough, several new options that weren't previously available appeared in the internal network. This was actually the first time he'd checked it since entering the Qianwu Secret Realm; he'd been incredibly busy lately.

The ranking is based on points. You can get a lot of points by conquering the Trial Tower, completing trial tasks, or making any great contributions.

The person who ranks first in the Hengxing Star Points is named Mu Ningxi, and she is a woman. There is a photo of her on the list; she is a beautiful and gentle woman.

"Mu Ningxi is a genius of the Cangming Clan, specializing in the Law of Water..." The speaker began to talk incessantly about Mu Ningxi's magic hammer.

"You know her so well, you like her?" Nuolanshan teased.

"I want to marry her," Demon Hammer said with unwavering determination.

"You probably can't beat her, right? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?" Nolanshan asked. In this ranking, Magic Hammer was only tenth, a full nine places behind the first place.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'll definitely catch up in the future, and our Dark Gara clan is the most resilient." Demon Hammer said, pounding his chest.

That's right. Among all the fundamental laws, the law of earth has the strongest defense and is the most resilient.

"Can you get in touch with her?" Nolanshan asked.

"Sure, and I know she came to class today. I'll take you there now." As soon as he said this, Mo Chui happily started running, and Nuolanshan felt like he was riding a horse, his butt was about to fall off.

Nuolanshan truly felt the stirrings of spring.

Magic Hammer led Nolan Mountain to the door of a classroom.

"That's the place, but classes have already started, so we can't go in. We'll just have to wait until get out of class ends."

To prevent students from getting freebies, although you can see inside from the doorway, you can't hear anything inside, and of course, you can't hear anything outside from inside either.

Mo Chui, that simpleton, looked at Mu Ningxi sitting in the first row with a gentle gaze and a silly grin on his face.

"What an honest, simple-minded lad." Nuolanshan chuckled and shook his head, asking, "How come there's a ninth-level Domain Lord instructor in the Qianwu Space?"

"Maybe she's a senior student, or someone like the teacher who was specially recruited," Magic Hammer replied.

"Oh." Nolan Shan gave a relaxed "oh" and then walked towards the classroom.

"Teacher, no! You'll be bounced away!" Demon Hammer hurriedly reminded Nolanshan as he was about to enter the classroom.
