Apprenticeship

At the entrance to the Meteor Star Ship.

"Without making a sound, it guided me here." Luo Feng told Bai Yue about what had happened, wanting to hear his opinion.

"It seems this place is fated with you. I came here twice, and even stayed for two or three days this time, yet I never felt anything like this!" Knowing the reason, he encouraged Luo Feng to go inside.

Whether it was Babata's influence or something else, Luo Feng ultimately walked in slowly. Bai Yue followed close behind, entering the Meteor Star Ship as well.

After passing through a fork in the passageway, they saw a corpse lying on the ground. There were fist marks left by attacks on the walls. The corpse was completely uninjured, yet it was undoubtedly dead.

They continued forward through more branching passages and arrived at a lavish, spacious semicircular hall. The first thing they saw was another six corpses. Apart from one with a pierced chest, the others bore no obvious external wounds. Bai Yue knew they had died from Soul Attacks.

The two exchanged a glance, and each could see the shock in the other's eyes! It was the kind of shock that truly made their souls tremble. Even though Bai Yue had read descriptions in books, the pressure emitted by the corpses and the soul-piercing pain of meeting their gazes were beyond anything words could describe!

With a beep, the hall lights abruptly came on. Strange rays of light converged, projecting the virtual image of a child in a black robe.

"You've finally come! I've waited fifty thousand years!" Babata said.

"Who are you?" Bai Yue asked.

"My name is Babata. Come with me to pay respects to my Master." After taking a long look at Bai Yue, he turned and spoke to them both.

Having said that, he walked ahead on his own. Though they were full of doubts, the two could tell Babata meant them no harm and followed him.

After the rites were complete, Babata began explaining things to them.

"You must be very confused. First, I..." Babata then began introducing everything.

"Luo Feng, are you willing to take my Master as your teacher and inherit everything from Meteor Star?" After finishing his explanation, Babata suddenly asked Luo Feng solemnly.

Seeing Luo Feng's hesitation, Babata continued explaining some of the circumstances of the universe, before finally stating that refusal meant death.

Luo Feng sensibly agreed. At Babata's request, he then kowtowed heavily to Huyan Bo eight times.

Only after Luo Feng had finished taking his teacher did Babata turn to Bai Yue at the side. "Are you willing to take my Master as your teacher and become his registered disciple?"

After a pause, he continued, "You are very special! In such a short time, both your Mental Master and Martial Artist cultivation have reached Star Level Four, and you have comprehended two domains. Even I cannot see through you. My Master will accept only one personal disciple. There are special reasons for this that are inconvenient to reveal, but I can accept you as a registered disciple on his behalf. All inheritance techniques will be open to you, but the resources left behind by my Master will not be given to you."

Babata laid out the arrangement for him, naturally ending with the same threat of death if he refused. In truth, Babata had hesitated between Luo Feng and Bai Yue. He ultimately chose Luo Feng because he guessed Bai Yue possessed another inheritance, and he had been serious when he said he could not see through him.

Because of the Dao Fruit, all sorts of mental and soul methods from the outside world had very little effect on him. That was why Babata could not see through him.

How could he refuse such a good deal as getting an inheritance for free? There were no real restrictions either, so Bai Yue agreed without the slightest hesitation. At Babata's request, he performed the apprenticeship ceremony as well. As for resources, he truly was not lacking in them.

Besides, given his relationship with Luo Feng, could Babata's good stuff possibly leave him out? All he needed were a few samples, and before long, he could create a whole batch himself.

Although he was only a registered disciple, Babata still gave him a few things, such as an intelligent wristwatch and a spatial ring. The spatial ring could be analyzed and copied several times. The intelligent wristwatch could perform the functions of many devices, and it contained an Intelligent Assistant copied by Babata, already loaded with many of Meteor Star's inheritances to facilitate his studies.

Babata had his own calculations for trusting him so readily. Since he could not see through Bai Yue, the unknown risk was too great, so he gave up on making him Huyan Bo's personal disciple. But a registered disciple was still a disciple. Once Bai Yue cultivated Meteor Star's inheritance secret techniques, he would bear the mark of Meteor Star and would never be able to escape it.

It was an open and aboveboard scheme. Since Bai Yue had coveted their inheritance, it was only right that he bore the risk as well.

With the sound of earth and rocks falling, the Meteor Star Ship was stored in Luo Feng's spatial ring. Earth and stones continuously fell into the vacant space, and before long, it was buried.

The two did not linger. They soared toward the surface, and before long, they flew out of the ground and hovered in midair, looking over the bustling sight of Fog Island.

"That wraps things up here. Let's go home!" After saying this to Luo Feng, Bai Yue contacted the Intelligent Assistant he had just named Long Kui and had her summon his Smart Fighter.

At Mingyue Residential Area in Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City, two Smart Fighters landed one after another, sparking a wave of discussion among the surrounding residents.

"Our residential area really has outstanding feng shui. Just look—we've produced two peerless geniuses..." An old man boasted loudly to the people around him, brimming with pride. The others nodded in wholehearted agreement.

The members of Bai Yue's former Falcon Squad and Luo Feng's Fire Hammer Squad were also the main contributors to the discussion. After all, they knew more about the two of them than most, which gave them plenty to brag about.

Speaking of which, the Falcon Squad was now a true War God squad. Captain Leng Jun had broken through to War God level two years ago. After two years of training, he had improved considerably and was drawing ever closer to intermediate War God level. The other teammates had each made progress as well.

Listening to the discussions around him, Bai Yue smiled knowingly, wondering whether he should give everyone some benefits or something. It definitely was not because their praise had made him feel good.

Upon returning home, he headed straight for the training room. The inheritance of a Marquis-ranked immortal had left him impatient for a long time. As soon as he got home, he began organizing Meteor Star's inheritances.

Meteor Star's core inheritances mainly concerned Mental Masters, such as the Soul Seal for cultivating the soul, the Void Tower for soul defense, and the Body Seizure Secret Method Huyan Bo had used to enslave nine immortals.

Beyond the core inheritances, there were also quite a few Martial Artist inheritances. Huyan Bo had either seized them from enemies or collected them himself over the long years. They might not have been important compared to the core inheritances, but they would still be highly sought after outside.

After all, even the inheritance of the Thunder Realm Lord had driven the major powers of the Black Dragon Mountain Star Domain into a bloody frenzy, only for Thunder God to ultimately pick up the advantage.

After spending some time broadly reviewing all the inheritances, Bai Yue adjusted his future training plan. He would definitely cultivate Meteor Star's several core inheritances. They were the highest-level secret techniques he could currently master and his strongest means of protecting his path.

He could not neglect the Martial Artist path either. No matter what he did, a powerful physique and Gene Energy would improve his ability to survive. A genius not only needed to surpass others in some aspect, but also could not have any obvious weaknesses.

For the next period of time, Bai Yue cultivated the inheritance secret techniques he had just obtained. With the Dao Fruit's assistance, his progress was rapid. Even without help from the inherited Soul Seal, he relied on his own talent to transform his Mental Power into Meteor Star's unique Mental Power.

At times, he also received missions to repel invasions by sea monsters. Fortunately, thanks to the Fog Island ruins, Earth's major powers had obtained quite a few Wood Bud Crystals, causing the number of Planet-level fighters on Earth to rise sharply. Humanity's overall strength had increased, and they were no longer so stretched thin when resisting sea monster attacks.
