The Gift

Yang Wu, who appeared at the main entrance, immediately saw his teacher Jinguang Marquis standing with the three leaders of the Ganwu Branch, as well as his senior brother Natie.

Yang Wu then quickly took a few steps, covering a distance of several kilometers, and appeared before Jinguang Marquis and the others.

"Disciple greets Master!" Yang Wu bowed respectfully to Jinguang Marquis.

This scene, witnessed by the three powerful figures, further elevated Jinguang Marquis's standing in their eyes.

"I never expected His Highness Yang Wu to show such respect to Jinguang Marquis!" Marquis Zidian exclaimed inwardly.

"Indeed!" Marquis Heiyan echoed, "It seems we should be even more enthusiastic towards Jinguang Marquis in the future!"

"That depends on whether we have a future!" Marquis Jinyu said worriedly.

The dozens of Immortal behind the three giants were filled with envy when they saw Yang Wu paying homage to Jinguang Marquis.

Those who were able to learn about Yang Wu's whereabouts in such a short time—who among them didn't possess formidable strength or a powerful background?

In terms of both strength and status, they used to far surpass the newly ennobled Marquis Jinguang Marquis, but now...

"Jinguang Marquis Guang is incredibly lucky to have received such a disciple with astonishing talent!"

Those Immortal who knew about Yang Wu's whereabouts were also secretly communicating with each other.

"Yes, I should also take on more disciples. Maybe I'll have a similar opportunity in the future!"

"Haha!" another powerful Immortal laughed through telepathy, "Marquis Hulei, do you think this is possible? How many geniuses like His Highness Yang Wu can there be in the entire Human Race's territory over countless years?"

For powerful individuals, taking on disciples is a common occurrence, but it is quite rare for a disciple to surpass the teacher in strength.

Moreover, among the Immortal surrounding the three Marquis Heiyan, the weakest among them is High-level Marquis. Even the number one genius in all previous Genius Battle would probably find it difficult to reach such strength.

When Jinguang Marquis saw that Yang Wu was the first to pay his respects, he felt no joy at all, but rather some worry about Yang Wu!

Although Jinguang Marquis already knew about Yang Wu's appointment Supervisory Special Envoy of the Ganwu Branch of the Virtual Universe Company.

In Jinguang Marquis's eyes, although Yang Wu was Supervisory Special Envoy and his status was comparable to or even surpassed that of the other three giants, he was ultimately just a genius with extraordinary talent, and his own realm was only that of a Domain Lord.

At this moment, Yang Wu's neglect of the other three giants might cause dissatisfaction among them, leading to their exclusion.

Therefore, Jinguang Marquis hurriedly said, "Yang Wu, quickly greet Marquis Jinyu, Marquis Zidian, Marquis Heiyan..."

Jinguang Marquis continued to introduce Yang Wu to the other powerful Immortal around them.

Hearing Jinguang Marquis's slightly anxious voice, Yang Wu was deeply moved.

The teacher was still the same teacher, and had not become distant despite his changed status.

Even though Yang Wu had already told Jinguang Marquis about his current status, Jinguang Marquis still kept him in mind.

Even if they are treated poorly as a result, they won't care at all.

Yang Wu nodded slightly to his senior brother Natie before looking at the three men, including Marquis Heiyan.

"Marquis Heiyan, Marquis Zidian, Marquis Jinyu!" Yang Wu smiled and said, "Long time no see!"

These three giants had previously shown goodwill towards Yang Wu, and Yang Wu, returning to the Ganwu Universe Country this time with the intention of focusing on cultivation, naturally reciprocated with the same goodwill.

Seeing Yang Wu's attitude, the three of them, including Marquis Heiyan, all showed a smile.

"Virtual Universe Company's Ganwu Branch welcomes Your Highness Yang Wu!" The Black Veil Girl, Marquis Heiyan, bowed slightly and said.

"Although we are far away in the Ganwu Universe Country, we often hear people talking about His Highness Yang Wu!"

The sinister-looking man, Marquis Jinyu, flattered him, saying, "Your Highness's achievement in such a short time is truly astonishing and admirable!"

Meanwhile, the Marquis Zidian of the Ape-man Race was even more enthusiastic. "Haha, His Highness Yang Wu has now returned to the Ganwu Universe Country. It is truly an honor for us to work with His Highness for some time to come!"

Following this, with the reminder from his teacher Jinguang Marquis, Yang Wu met one by one the Immortal God who were accompanying Marquis Heiyan and the other two.

These Immortal God already knew in advance that Yang Wu had passed the twelfth level of the Heavenly Bridge, so they were all extremely enthusiastic and hoped to leave a good impression on Yang Wu.

After Yang Wu greeted the dozens of Immortal God around him, Marquis Zidian said, "Your Highness Yang Wu, it's getting late. Let's head to the banquet hall first!"

"We were rushed and our preparations were inadequate. Please forgive us, Your Highness," Marquis Jinyu and Marquis Heiyan echoed with smiles.

Yang Wu smiled and said, "You three are too kind!"

Subsequently, led by the three giants, Yang Wu, along with Field, the Guard Army Leader, and many other Immortal, entered the manor.

The rest of the Guard Army had already been reassigned to other locations.

The banquet hall was now completely silent.

In fact, as soon as Yang Wu appeared, everyone in the banquet hall had already confirmed Yang Wu identity.

Seeing that the three giants and other powerful Immortal were all incredibly enthusiastic and even somewhat respectful towards Yang Wu, these people were all puzzled.

After all, the Ganwu Universe Country had previously had Supervisory Special Envoy.

These Immortal beings, with their eternal lifespans, have seen far too many geniuses, yet only a handful have ultimately succeeded in achieving Immortal.

Yang Wu, although he initially displayed far greater talent than other geniuses, is now merely a Domain Lord.

Despite their extremely noble status, they all held them in some contempt.

Of course, none of them dared to investigate the conversation between Yang Wu and the many Immortal.

The moment Yang Wu stepped into the banquet hall, all the Immortal God with incredibly powerful backgrounds stood up.

These people had lived for countless years and were certainly not fools. Although they looked down on Yang Wu, they became more cautious after seeing the attitude of the three men, including Marquis Heiyan, towards Yang Wu.

Soon, Marquis Heiyan and the other two led Yang Wu to the high platform in the center.

Along the way, Jinguang Marquis and the other powerful Immortal also went to their respective locations.

However, this time, Jinguang Marquis was welcomed by countless Immortal, and he eventually sat down with several Immortal he knew.

"Everyone!" The ape-man, Marquis Zidian, surveyed the numerous Immortal God below.

The many Immortal God below all smiled and looked at Yang Wu and his companions, preparing to listen to what Marquis Zidian would say next.

Today's events seemed very strange, and they all wanted to know the reason.

"Every individual who can join the Core Layer the Five Great Forces is a true genius among our Human Race!"

"However, even among peerless geniuses, there are different levels!"

"And His Highness Yang Wu, even among all the geniuses of our Human Race, belongs to the very top tier!"

"Let us warmly welcome His Highness Yang Wu, a peerless genius who appears only once in countless epochs, back to his homeland Ganwu Universe Country!"

After Marquis Zidian finished speaking, the many Immortal God present suddenly realized what was going on.

"I see!"

"I was wondering Wei He Marquis Zidian and the others were so respectful to this special Supervisory Special Envoy. It turns out that Prince Yang Wu's talent is already so terrifying!"

"Jinguang Marquis has really struck it rich this time!"

Which of these Immortal God who were able to attend the banquet didn't have some kind of background and power?

It's just that Yang Wu's rise to power was too short-lived; they simply hadn't had time to receive the news!

Now, after hearing the explanation from Marquis Zidian, how could they not understand why Marquis Zidian and the others valued Yang Wu so much?

These words from the Marquis Zidian immediately made these Immortal God forget Yang Wu's previous neglect of them.

For a peerless genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs, being able to attend this banquet is already a great honor.

These people weren't wrong. If it weren't for the influence of Jinguang Marquis and the gifts that Marquis Heiyan and the other two had given him, Yang Wu would definitely have declined the invitation to the banquet.

Faced with the crowd's enthusiasm, Yang Wu simply said a few words before walking down from the high platform with Marquis Heiyan and the other two.

And the real banquet officially began.

A number of handsome waiters began to bring up various delicious dishes, one plate after another.

These ingredients were transported at great expense by Marquis Heiyan and his companions, and each dish can be considered a delicacy.

The banquet hall immediately became lively.

"As expected of His Highness Yang Wu! These fine wines and delicacies alone must have cost nearly ten thousand Hunyuan Unit!"

"Of course! These peerless geniuses, appearing only once every tens of millions of epochs, will at least reach the Peak King Level, as long as they don't perish!"

"Yes, the Peak King Level! In the countless years of our Ganwu Universe Country, such a powerhouse has been extremely rare, and he has already joined the Core Layer the Five Great Forces!"

The Immortal within the Ganwu Universe Country were conversing amongst themselves.

Yang Wu, the protagonist of this welcoming banquet, greeted the three men, including Marquis Heiyan, and then went to a Quiet Room with Jinguang Marquis and Natie.

As for Field, the Guard Army Leader, Yang Wu left him in the banquet hall to greet the other Immortal.

In Quiet Room.

"Teacher, senior brother, it's been so long!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

"Haha..." Natie laughed and slapped Yang Wu, saying, "It hasn't been that long, only two hundred years!"

"However, for you, Yang Wu, it has indeed been quite a long time!"

Although two hundred years have passed, Yang Wu and his senior brother Natie still meet frequently in the Virtual Universe, so they haven't become estranged. Therefore, Natie is talking non-stop at this moment.

"Junior brother, you don't know yet, Father was just telling me he was worried you'd be ostracized by the other three giants."

"This disciple thanks Master for his concern!" Yang Wu said respectfully to Jinguang Marquis.

Jinguang Marquis glared at Natie before laughing and saying, "What kind of concern is this? A peerless genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs, the three giants will probably be worshipping you!"

"Even I have benefited quite a bit from you these past few days!"

"It's my good fortune to be able to benefit from my teacher's influence!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

"Indeed, you are now famous throughout the universe!" Jinguang Marquis exclaimed.

"However!" Jinguang Marquis suddenly said solemnly, "I once heard from an extremely ancient being in the Ganwu Universe Country, Marquis Yinxue, that..."

"Millions of years ago, a peerless genius, appearing only once every ten million epochs, also emerged among our Human Race, named Kedi!"

"Although Kedi possessed unparalleled talent, he ultimately died in an assassination attempt by Alien Race!"

"Your talent is now no less than that of Kedi, and you will likely face many assassination attempts from Alien Race in the future. You must be extremely careful in your actions!"

"I don't think your Guard Army Leader is that strong. For the next while, I'll stick by your side and take advantage of the situation!"

"This..." Yang Wu was moved again. He hadn't expected that even though Jinguang Marquis knew about the danger around him, he would still be there to protect him, just like in the simulation.

"Master, I am capable of handling assassinations by the Alien Race!" Yang Wu quickly replied.

In fact, in terms of survival ability alone, Yang Wu is probably even better than Jinguang Marquis, so he naturally doesn't want to trouble Jinguang Marquis.

"Junior Brother Yang Wu," Natie said with a smile, standing to the side, "Father has already made up his mind about this, so don't refuse!"

"I've never experienced this kind of treatment before, and I don't even know if I'm my father's biological son!" Natie joked with a laugh.

"You brat!" Jinguang Marquis laughed and scolded, "Back when Yang Wu became your disciple, you were only Domain Lord Ninth Stage! Now Yang Wu is already Domain Lord Ninth Stage, and you're still Domain Lord Ninth Stage. You still expect me to protect you?"

"This..." Natie said dejectedly, "Who would have thought that my junior brother's talent was so extraordinary? Father, didn't you also find it incredible before?"

Hearing this, Yang Wu remembered the Purple Flame in his hand and said with a smile, "Senior brother, I also brought you a few gifts this time!"

"A gift?" Natie up.

Of course, Natie didn't think that Yang Wu, who had just broken through to the Domain Lord Level, could come up with any precious gifts, but Yang Wu's sincerity made him extremely happy!

"Yang Wu, you're still in the cultivation stage, there's no need to prepare any gifts for Natie!"

Jinguang Marquis said solemnly, "What you need to do most right now is to use all available resources to improve yourself!"

"Yes, junior brother!" Natie quickly added after hearing Jinguang Marquis's words, "I was just joking with you. Your sentiment is enough. As for the gift, it's completely unnecessary!"

"Don't worry, Master, I have made a lot of progress in these two hundred years and it won't affect my cultivation!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

After saying that, Yang Wu produced two Space Rings and handed them directly to Natie.

Natie quickly looked at Jinguang Marquis beside him.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Since it was given to you by your junior brother, just accept it!"

Upon hearing this, Natie accepted the Space Ring and channeled his Spiritual Force into it to examine the gift Yang Wu had given him.

"Junior brother, you..."

After seeing the gift, Natie was completely stunned, and even the Space Ring in her hand almost fell to the ground.

"Natie? What's wrong?" Jinguang Marquis asked in confusion.

Natie stiffly handed the Space Ring in her hand to Jinguang Marquis: "Father, see for yourself!"

After examining the Space Ring, Jinguang Marquis was equally stunned. "Yang Wu, this is...?"

Inside the Space Ring at this moment, there was a magical flame, and --

An F-class spaceship entirely constructed from Chi Hun Copper Mother.

"This is a special flame-type treasure— the Purple Flame —and an F-class spaceship!"

Yang Wu calmly said, "The Purple Flame can help you better comprehend the Law of Fire, and the spaceship is the gift I promised you!"

That was certainly not the question Jinguang Marquis was asking.

In fact, not long ago, news had already been received that Yang Wu's F-class spaceship was stationed in outer space of Canglong Star.

Everyone, including Jinguang Marquis, believed that the F-class spaceship was assigned to Yang Wu by the Virtual Universe Company.

After all, even at the lowest price, an F-class spaceship would cost more than a million Hunyuan Unit.

Unexpectedly, the gift Yang Wu gave to Natie was an F-class spaceship.

Judging by its size alone, it is even larger than the F-class spaceship that Jinguang Marquis himself traveled in.

At this moment, Natie finally realized what was happening and quickly said, "Junior brother, this gift is too precious for me!"

He truly hadn't expected that Yang Wu would take his joke so seriously.

Jinguang Marquis also kept helping Natie decline.

Just kidding, the value of the Chi Hun Copper Mother alone in the spaceship that Yang Wu sent out exceeded three million Hunyuan Unit.

Such astonishing wealth is even comparable to half of the entire fortune of the Jinguang Marquis.

"Teacher, senior brother, I've had many opportunities during the Universe Level stage, so an F-class spaceship is really nothing to me now!" Yang Wu said with a smile.

Yang Wu would certainly not have revealed his wealth to anyone else.

However, Yang Wu had complete trust in Jinguang Marquis.

Unfortunately, Natie still couldn't accept it. "Junior brother, I was just joking with you. I appreciate your kindness, but this spaceship is indeed too valuable. You should take it back!"

"Senior brother, I'm now the Supervisory Special Envoy of the Ganwu Branch!" Yang Wu smiled and said, "You're refusing my gift, do you have a problem with me?"

Suddenly, a strange scene unfolded in the Quiet Room.

Those who want to give gifts can't give them away, and those who want to receive them are even less willing to accept them.

In the end, Yang Wu proved to be more skillful and managed to persuade Natie to accept his gift.
