Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Chapter 297 Taking on Apprentices

The battle broke out as soon as it was declared.

This caused the many spectators who had already sat down around the battle platform to watch intently.

Even proud figures like Kou Tianlei and Master Yin Zhe watched carefully, because Shan Yin was considered to be of comparable strength to them.

"call!"

A terrifying chill descended without warning, forming an extremely powerful domain radiating icy coldness that directly enveloped Jiang Chen, seemingly intending to freeze him with the domain.

"This domain is quite impressive. With just this icy domain, I estimate that in the Genius Battle, he could at least pass through the World Zone and enter the Arena Battle."

"It's said that in the secret realm of the universe, the power of the universe's origin is so rich that it's easy to comprehend it. It's truly extraordinary; even a peak-level Eternal Star can use this level of power."

"However, so far I haven't met anyone who has crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws. It seems that no matter where you are, crossing the threshold of the fundamental laws is the true standard of genius."

Jiang Chen stretched out his hand within the cold energy field but did not make a move. Instead, he observed the attack with great interest.

"You got hit, didn't you even try to defend yourself?"

The brothers Kou Tianlei and Kou Fengjin were both somewhat surprised, while Kou Na became nervous.

Everyone in the Kou clan knew how terrifying it was for "Shan Yin" to manipulate the icy domain. His attacks were completely unexpected, and with a single thought, mountains within a ten-mile radius could be frozen into powder.

"So that's all the power he has. It seems it's time for me to make a move." Jiang Chen had observed enough and knew that Shan Yin was most famous for this one technique, and his other moves were just ordinary.

He didn't want to see any more strange or thought-provoking moves; that was about enough for now.

To compete against a little guy of the Eternal Star level, this cosmic-level genius from the Primordial Secret Realm has to hide his strength.

How boring.

"Hahaha, so this is all the strength you have, General Chen. It's my turn!"

Shan Yin laughed triumphantly, looking at Chen Jiang who seemed to be frozen in the domain, completely motionless, and felt quite pleased with himself.

Sudden-·

Shan Yin, who had just been looking smug, suddenly showed a look of horror on his face, because Jiang Chen's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"How is that possible?"

Including Kou Tianlei, who stood high above everyone else in the audience, everyone below the stage stared wide-eyed in terror.

Because Jiang Chen appeared so fast and strangely, it was as if he had teleported!

Especially Shan Yin, who was terrified and desperately tried to use his weapon, but he felt that he was too slow and his attack was too slow!

The axe flashed.

A flash of axe light was breathtakingly beautiful, containing a dazzling beauty. The group of people watching this scene, including Kou Tianlei, Kou Na, and Shan Yin who was attacked, were all involuntarily affected by the artistic conception of the axe technique, and their consciousness was drawn into it.

Pfft!

Shan Yin, whose body was covered in black armor, was directly ripped open, his muscles torn apart, and a twisted wound was cut open, with a large amount of blood splattering.

"What?" Shan Yin looked at Jiang Chen in horror.

Meanwhile, Kou Tianlei, Kou Na, and the guards and servants watching the spectacle below the arena were completely absorbed in the axe technique they had just mastered.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen turned around and glanced at them. He released a slight pressure of consciousness, instantly waking up the group of people who were completely engrossed.

Only then did they realize what had happened.

"Stop! Stop!" shouted the 'mountain' that was flying and escaping into the air.

Jiang Chen stopped in surprise.

Shan Yinlian smiled broadly, exclaiming in amazement and admiration, "General Chen is truly remarkable! I concede defeat in this competition. General Chen is probably the most powerful peak-level expert I've ever seen in all these years!"

Jiang Chen was taken aback. He had held back earlier, which was why he had injured Shan Yin. Logically, they should have had another match. But Shan Yin was injured and felt he was no match for Jiang Chen, so he immediately admitted defeat.

They admitted defeat with absolute decisiveness!

"Well done, Master Chen and Lord Fu are truly remarkable. Today we are even more fortunate to witness Master Chen's axe skills."

"Absolutely stunning!" Kou Tianlei stood up and laughed.

"Yes, Master Chen's axe technique was so captivating that we were all completely immersed in it," Master Yinzhe exclaimed in amazement.

Meanwhile, Kona, standing beside her two older brothers, stared in astonishment at Jiang Chen on the battle stage.

She meant well, thinking it was too dangerous for him to be alone in the Black Forest, and since Chen Jiang said he was injured, she naturally brought him back.

I also feel a sense of admiration and respect for Jiang Chen, who ventured alone across the vast land.

Who would have thought that Brother Chen was so powerful? He injured Shan Yin with a single axe strike. The axe technique he used was the most beautiful I had ever seen.

"I didn't expect him to be so amazing," Kona thought to herself.

"Master Chen," Kou Tianlei said with a loud laugh.

Huhu.

Jiang Chen and Shan Yin flew off the battle platform and came to Kou Tianlei's side.

"Young Master." Jiang Chen and Shan Yin both bowed slightly.

"I didn't expect this competition to end so quickly. Master Chen, this is not right of you. You were so low-key before, who would have thought that your strength was even stronger than Shan Yin's." Kou Tianlei looked at Jiang Chen with a smile.

"Young Master, you flatter me. I only recently had an epiphany and made a breakthrough," Jiang Chen said with a smile, casually making up an excuse.

"What?" Shan Yin was stunned. He had only recently had an epiphany and his strength had greatly increased?

In other words, before he achieved enlightenment, this Chen general was slightly weaker than him?

"Forget it, even if he's a bit weak, I can't kill him anyway. Let's just let this go. I guess I'm just unlucky." Shan Yin shook his head inwardly.

Jiang Chen continued, "I have to thank the young master and Miss Kou for this, especially Miss Kou, for giving me a quiet place to cultivate."

"Haha, it's all fate," Kou Tianlei laughed. "In that case, I'll host a banquet at Huashan Palace today. Chen Jiang, Shan Yin, Yin Zhe, and everyone else, please come along. Let's celebrate the Kou Clan gaining such a great master as Chen Jiang."

Huashan Palace was a place of pleasure for the Kou family, where luxury was the ultimate.

Jiang Chen and his companions were overjoyed this time, and he himself could feel that this was no ordinary banquet in another world.

"Brother Chen Jiang." Kouna suddenly came over, her eyes filled with mixed emotions.

"Brother Chen is truly in the limelight today, while I—"

"What's wrong, Miss Kou?" In this unfamiliar planet Viska, Miss Kou was the person Jiang Chen liked the most.

Kona is beautiful and kind-hearted, retaining her innocence and enjoying helping others, which is very rare, whether on Visca or in the universe.

"It won't be long. Either I need to go to Mulan City, or—" Kona didn't answer, but instead muttered to herself, her voice low.

Regardless of the outcome—whether they become playthings in the collection of the Seventh Young Master of Mulan City, or Mulan refuses to help—the Kou family faces annihilation.

Either outcome would be an incredibly tragic situation for her.

She used to dream of finding a famous master to learn lifelong skills, so she could roam the land and right wrongs wherever she went.

However, it seems that Kona may never be able to find a master again, and her chivalrous deeds will remain just a child's fantasy.

"Brother Chen Jiang," Koona said.

"Huh?" Jiang Chen was taken aback.

"Can you be my master?" Kona suddenly asked, her beautiful eyes fixed on Jiang Chen.

"Me? To be your master?" Jiang Chen was taken aback, then shook his head. "I've never taken on a disciple before, and I don't even know if I'd be able to teach one. You want to come with me?"

"The Kou family is so wealthy and powerful, it would be easy for them to find a teacher."

"Besides, Miss Kou, doesn't the Kou family have many mentors? They can also guide your cultivation."

"I need a real master," Kona said, looking at Chen Jiang.

Jiang Chen sensed that the young lady from the prominent family in front of him seemed to be caught up in some kind of obsession, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

But—I came to this world for a mission, I never thought about taking on disciples.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded with a smile: "Alright, I can take the Third Miss as my disciple."

I owe Miss Kona a favor, and at least I've learned about the situation on Viska Star much faster here. I also have a good impression of Kona, so I might as well take her as my disciple.

"Kona greets Master." Koona immediately stood up and bowed formally.

Jiang Chen accepted the bow without hesitation.

In this strange world, I've already taken on a disciple before I've even started my mission. It's a really peculiar feeling.
