Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

"Yes."

Nuolanshan originally wanted to study movement techniques, since although he had just defeated the mysterious man, he was still in a rather disheveled state. If he could use movement techniques to dodge the mysterious man's axe, that would be perfect.

However, since the founder of the Giant Axe had said so, Little Karami of Norlan Mountain naturally had to obey and begin to cross the Giant Axe Sky Bridge.

Chi Chi Chi!

With just an axe, Nuolanshan made it to the fourteenth level of the Giant Axe Chaos Stele in one go.

This time, he chose a martial artist as his opponent. He wanted to win spectacularly.

However, the bigwigs couldn't help but chuckle to themselves.

The Giant Axe Chaos Stele ranks first for a reason; it is unique in that it is different from other wielders. Generally speaking, the wielder is stronger than the martial artist, but the Giant Axe Sky Bridge is an exception, especially as the number of levels increases, the more obvious this difference becomes.

Because the one who erected the Giant Axe Chaos Monument was the Giant Axe Founder, and the Giant Axe Founder was an exception among the universe masters; he was not a universe master who controlled spacetime.

The strongest form of the Giant Axe Bridge is that of a martial artist.

boom!

Click click click!

When the axe of Mount Nuolan clashed with the mysterious man on the fourteenth floor, the fourth move was clearly no match, and Mount Nuolan's giant axe shattered under the weight.

"impossible!"

Nuolanshan's pupils shrank sharply. Why were the martial artists so fierce!

"Seventh level of the Cosmic Divine Weapon!" Faced with the giant axe swinging towards him, Nolanshan had no choice but to use the Cosmic Divine Weapon to fight back.

boom!

Despite losing a Tier 5 battle axe, Norlan Mountain managed to withstand the mysterious man's attack thanks to his cosmic divine weapon.

Now that the battle axe is gone, Mount Nuolan has lost one of its offensive methods. It's like a tiger with a tooth pulled out, which is both comical and significantly weakened in combat power.

"Take another swing of my axe!" The mysterious man wasn't about to let Nuolanshan off so easily, and swung his giant axe at Nuolanshan again.

"Fourth Form!" In desperation, Nuolanshan used the Cosmic Divine Weapon to unleash the fourth form of the Nine Forms of Creation.

Boom!

The result was surprisingly evenly matched.

Damn it, so it wasn't that the fourth technique wasn't strong enough, but rather that the weapon was too weak. A cosmic weapon, while a weapon of the controller, who says it can't be a weapon of a martial artist? Is it made of inferior materials or has a dull blade?

Previously, Noranshan fell into a misconception, believing that telekinetic weapons could only be controlled with telekinesis.

But you can't really blame him, since he used to have two axes. One he controlled with his mind, and the other he held in his hand.

"Such a high genetic multiplier, its strength is in no way inferior to the gatekeeper." The founder of the giant axe nodded in satisfaction, and at this moment he even had the idea of ​​taking on a disciple.

The Lord of Chaos City didn't want to compete with the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom for a disciple, but Giant Axe didn't care. Domineering is also a form of power, and Giant Axe spent his life pursuing power.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

Ah!

With the giant axe in hand, Nuolanshan became increasingly brave and fierce in battle, and actually managed to kill the mysterious man, successfully passing through the fourteenth level of the Giant Axe Sky Bridge.

"It's over. It felt so fast." The group of big shots were filled with a sense of loss. It felt like an anime they had been following for years had finally finished airing today.

The happy ending is over, but the unhappy ending is also over.

Humans are truly a strange species. Perhaps it is because of this strangeness that mechanical races were born.

"Look, he didn't go down the bridge!" the red-haired venerable one exclaimed.

The group of big shots looked closely and, sure enough, saw Nuolanshan flying towards the fifteenth floor.

"No way, he wants to get past the fifteenth floor!"

The bigwigs were all stunned, and the founder of the giant axe, who had already stood up, sat back down on his throne.

Can you get past the fifteenth level of Nuolan Mountain?

With this question in mind, the group of bigwigs watched as Nuolanshan chose his opponent.

"I choose the controller."

After sensing the power of the martial artist, Nuolanshan decided to choose the controller, as this would increase his chances of winning.

The gatekeeper, clad in silver armor, had a cold expression and icy eyes fixed on Nuolan Mountain. He said menacingly, "I am not one of those trash. I will definitely kill you, you cosmic-level ant."

A cosmic-level ant? Yes, theoretically, a cosmic-level being wouldn't even have the right to see him; he's just an ant, after all. Nolan Mountain is an exception among exceptions.

"Fourth move!" Without further ado, Nuolanshan swung his axe and chopped directly.

He knew that the fifth-tier battle axe would definitely not be able to withstand the attack, so after the battle axe finished its strike, he also unleashed the cosmic divine weapon.

laugh!

Mount Nuolan was cut in two.

"So fast!" Nuolanshan was killed in resentment.

The mysterious man's axe was too fast, and there was no spatial fluctuation when he attacked.

Before the two attacks from Nuolanshan could even reach the mysterious man, he had already been killed.

This was an absolute crushing defeat; there was no way to stop it. Even though Noranshan had initially used the Axe World to create an impenetrable defense, it couldn't withstand this sudden axe strike.

This was never a challenge that could be overcome at a cosmic level.

It's important to understand that passing the eighteenth level of the Sky Bridge grants permanent residency in Chaos City. This is the fifteenth level, only three levels away from the eighteenth, and Mount Nuolan is merely a cosmic-level being—already terrifying and unprecedented.

"I, the Great Axe, acknowledge Mount Norlan." The founder of the Great Axe stood up and then said, "Mount Norlan, would you be willing to worship me... Never mind."

Giant Axe originally wanted to ask Norlanshan if he would like to become his apprentice, but he stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence and went offline.

His actions left Nuolanshan and the other bigwigs baffled, except for the Chaos City Lord, who wore a strange expression.

He was very surprised, but at the same time, he felt it was so natural, logical, and the only solution.

"Alright, the battle of the universe's top powerhouses is not over yet. Yuan Chen, you are the host of this battle, so you shall continue it," the Chaos City Lord commanded.

"Yes, City Lord." The King of Yuan Chen accepted the order and began to continue presiding over the battle of the peak experts.

Wow!

All the contestants reappeared in the plaza, neatly arranged, one country per formation.

The ruler of Yuan Chen Kingdom addressed the geniuses in the square: "The rankings for those who have passed the Heavenly Bridge have been released, and I'm sure everyone can see them."

I can only express my regret to those geniuses who didn't make it into the top 7200, but I think this competition experience will be something you will cherish in your long lives.

So, those who didn't make it into the top 7200, it's time to say goodbye to this competition. You have three minutes.

Some shed tears, some laughed, and some were reluctant to part.

Some people embraced and wept, some roared and cursed, and some laughed heartily; the various reactions of all kinds of people were on full display.

Goodbye to this chapter. I am embarking on a new life, with a brand new identity, and I will shoulder another responsibility.

"Time's up, loser out."

Snapped!

With a snap of his fingers, the eliminated contestants were instantly kicked out of this plane, leaving only 7200 geniuses in the vast square, making it seem exceptionally deserted.
