Inside the Elite Training Camp, a middle-aged man led Luo Feng to a quiet courtyard and respectfully said to the courtyard, "Mr. Gu! I am Liu He, the Patrol Envoy of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. I have been ordered by the Hall Master to bring Luo Feng here to pay my respects to you!"

As soon as Liu He finished speaking, the courtyard gate opened to both sides, Gulanxiu chuckled, "Come in, all of you!"

Liu He carefully led Luo Feng into the courtyard, and Luo Feng glanced at Gulanxiu with a hint of trepidation.

He had just entered the Elite Training Camp and was preparing to take the assessment when Liu He suddenly appeared out of nowhere, saying that a big shot wanted to see him and wanted to bring him over.

This scene horrified him. He had seen Warrior who could fly before. One such person was Zhu Xi, a powerhouse who Beyond War God-level, who appeared at the memorial service for War God Lu Gang, the God of War. Being able to fly was a sign of a powerhouse who Beyond War God the level of the God of War. Now, the person who wanted to see him was being called a big shot by a powerhouse who Beyond War God-level. This made him think of Hong, the world's number one powerhouse!

Although he didn't know why Hong wanted to see him, he didn't dare to resist. Even a War God Li Yao had given him a lot of trouble, let alone a powerhouse who was even stronger Beyond War God-level.

Upon arriving at the courtyard, he discovered that it wasn't Hong who wanted to see him, but rather this young man who looked not much older than him. Moreover, in his eyes, this young man possessed no imposing presence whatsoever, appearing just like an ordinary person.

However, judging from Liu He He's respectful demeanor, he knew that the person in front of him was no ordinary person; he simply couldn't sense it because he was too inexperienced.

"Liu He greets Mr. Gu!" Liu He said respectfully.

"Luo Feng greets Mr. Gu!" Luo Feng said, bowing respectfully in return.

"Alright! Liu He! You can go now!" Gulanxiu said to Liu He with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Gu! Liu He takes his leave!" Liu He said respectfully, and then left the courtyard. Looking at the gate that was closing again, Liu He felt a cold sweat break out on his back.

Although Gulanxiu didn't exude any imposing aura, Liu He dared not neglect the order given so solemnly by the Hall Master, and only breathed a sigh of relief now that he had come out.

At this moment, Gulanxiu smiled and looked at Luo Feng, saying, "Luo Feng! You're quite good! You killed Li Wei, didn't you!"

Upon hearing Gulanxiu's words, Luo Feng was startled. He then took a deep breath, his eyes seemingly calming down, and said in a deep voice, "Yes! Mr. Gu! I did indeed kill Li Wei! But there were reasons for this..."

"No need to explain! I know everything! Don't worry, I won't tell Li Yao!" Gulanxiu said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Gu!" Luo Feng said quickly.

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "From today onwards, you are my disciple. Are you willing?"

Luo Feng quickly and respectfully said, "Disciple greets Master!"

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "I have eight disciples in total, and you are my ninth. All eight of your senior brothers and sisters are super strong. I hope you will not disappoint me!"

Luo Feng respectfully replied, "This disciple will certainly strive to do my best!"

Gulanxiu thought for a moment and said to Luo Feng, "You're too weak right now. I have nothing to teach you. I'll give you two secret manuals. Come back to me when you've cultivated them enough!"

As he said this, two documents appeared on Luo Feng's Light Brain. After a brief glance, Luo Feng saw that the two documents were "Basic Force Method" and "Basic Amplification Secret Method for Psychic".

Gulanxiu said to Luo Feng, "These two manuals are quite suitable for you now. Once you increase your basic power output tenfold and your Spiritual Force to the point where you can control thirty throwing knives simultaneously, I will be able to teach you some things."

"Ten times the base power! Control thirty throwing knives!" Luo Feng was shocked. He felt this was a fantasy. Even the strongest Thor on Earth could only exert seven times the power, and his teacher was telling him he needed to exert ten times the power to find him. How could that be possible? If it weren't for Liu He's respectful attitude, he would have thought Gulanxiu was making fun of him.

As for controlling 30 throwing knives at the same time, he didn't know how difficult that would be. After all, psychic masters were very mysterious beings, and he couldn't find out on the Extreme Home how many throwing knives the world's strongest psychic master could control at the same time.

Seeing Luo Feng's expression, Gulanxiu knew what he was thinking, so he said, "I know your doubts, but after you see these two manuals, you'll know I'm not making things difficult for you. Alright, go back now! Come and call me again after you've met my requirements."

Luo Feng quickly and respectfully replied, "Yes, Master! This disciple takes his leave!"

With that, he left the courtyard!

At this moment, Yun Miao appeared behind Gulanxiu Gulanxiu him noticing and said to him, "You think highly of this kid? I think his talent is just average, nothing special. And his willpower is also average. You'd be better off taking Hong as your disciple! At least Hong has already touched the threshold of the third realm of cultivation."

Gulanxiu said with a smile, "If you think highly of Hong, then you can take Hong as your disciple. Then we'll see who's stronger, Luo Feng or Hong!"

Yun Miao thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it! Earth was carefully crafted by Senior Sitting Mountain Guest to select his third disciple. This Hong might be qualified to become the master of the Star Tower! I don't want to affect his development and thus ruin Senior Sitting Mountain Guest's plan."

Gulanxiu nodded and said, "Although Luo Feng may seem unremarkable now, he has immense potential. Perhaps his future achievements will even surpass mine."

"Even stronger than you! How is that possible?" Yun Miao exclaimed in surprise.

Gulanxiu smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything more! After all, even if he did, Yun Miao might not believe him.

However, Gulanxiu's statement about Luo Feng was not necessarily based on the original work; he also noticed Luo Feng's special qualities the moment he met Luo Feng.

Although Gulanxiu did not believe in the idea of "one proof is eternal proof" or "the Hunyuan is predetermined by Luo Feng," there was indeed a causal connection in Luo Feng's life, as if the Original Universe had focused all its attention on him.

Gulanxiu's ability to see through cause and effect is something he has comprehended in recent years based on some secret techniques in the Returning Cloud Heart Sutra. He has only just begun to understand the Causality Path and Effect. It is only because the strength of the powerful beings in the Universe Sea is too weak that he can see through it easily. If it were a powerful being of the same level, Gulanxiu would still be lacking in his current realm.

In Gulanxiu's view, Luo Feng seemed to be the source of all cause and effect, with all causes and effects converging on him. Gulanxiu didn't know why this was happening, and could only attribute it to Luo Feng's special nature.

However, because of the accumulation of karma on Luo Feng's body, Gulanxiu believed that more contact with Luo Feng would improve his Causality Path, which led Gulanxiu to decide to take Luo Feng as his disciple.

After leaving Gulanxiu's courtyard, Luo Feng returned to his residence, Jiangnan Pavilion.

At this moment, Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo were also in the Jiangnan Pavilion. Seeing Luo Feng return, Zhao Ruo said with a smile, "Junior Brother Luo Feng, have you been assigned a teacher? Let me guess, is it Teacher Jiang Fang?"

After hearing this, Luo Feng shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Zhao Ruo is right, I have indeed been assigned a teacher, but not Teacher Jiang Fang, but Teacher Gulanxiu!"

"Teacher Gulanxiu?" Shi Jiang said in surprise, exchanging a glance with Zhao Ruo, both seeing the confusion in each other's eyes.

Seeing their expressions, Luo Feng had a sudden thought and asked, "What's wrong with Teacher Gulanxiu?"

Shi Jiang shook his head and said, "Junior Brother Luo Feng! I've been in the Elite Training Camp for over three years, but I've never heard of Teacher Gulanxiu. And among the thousands of War God worldwide, none are named Gulanxiu. But don't worry, Junior Brother Luo Feng, anyone who can be a teacher in the Elite Training Camp must be at least a mid-level War God. This Teacher Gulanxiu might be War God secretly trained by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall who hasn't joined the War God Palace!"

Luo Feng recalled the respectful attitude of Liu He, a powerhouse Beyond War God-level, towards Gulanxiu, so he nodded and said, "Senior Shi Jiang is right, Teacher Gulanxiu is indeed quite mysterious. He bestowed upon me two secret manuals, I'd like to take a look at them, so I won't chat with you any longer."

He then returned to his own room.

Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo exchanged bewildered glances. In their view, the secret manual created by the little-known Gulanxiu should be quite ordinary, so why was Luo Feng taking it so seriously?

Back in his room, Luo Feng began examining the two manuals that Gulanxiu had given him.

In just a moment, he became completely absorbed in it, carefully studying every passage in the manual, until it was a long time before Luo Feng fully came to his senses.

He exclaimed in shock, "This... this is too astonishing! The content recorded in this Basic Force Method goes against the Ninefold Thunder Blade. Is the manual my teacher gave me wrong, or is the Thor wrong?"

Although he said this, Luo Feng had a vague feeling that the secret manual given to him by Gulanxiu was the truly correct path. The reason was simple: the Ninefold Thunder Blade could only Amplification the body's strength by seven times, while the Basic Power Generation Law could amplify the body's strength by more than a hundred times.

With this in mind, Luo Feng felt relieved and began to cultivate the secret manual that Gulanxiu had passed down to him.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and the Elite Training Camp of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall ushered in their life-or-death trials.

This time, the destination of the training is still the Australian Continent from the original story.

However, after practicing the secret manual given to him by Gulanxiu, Luo Feng made rapid progress and his strength had reached the level of Invincible War God. This trial was just child's play for him.

Moreover, because of Gulanxiu, although Hong showed up this time, he did not reveal the secret that Luo Feng was a mentalist. Under these circumstances, even Li Yao would not attack Luo Feng. Gulanxiu wanted to see how the story would develop in the Australian Continent.

However, the events in the Australian Continent once again took Gulanxiu by surprise.

Believing that this experience would be safe, Luo Feng casually teamed up with Shi Jiang to embark on the adventure.

However, the two were unlucky enough to encounter a wandering King-level Monster, the Australian Magic Dragon.

The Australian Magic Dragon is a monster unique to Australia. Scientists suspect that it evolved from the ancient Australian monitor lizard before the Great Nirvana. Adult Australian Magic Dragon can reach the peak of the Lord level, and powerful individuals can even break through the limits to become King-level monsters.

Of course, because it has no wings, even after evolving to the King-level and gaining the ability to fly, the Australian Magic Dragon's flight speed is still very average.

But since its name contains the word "dragon," it can't be an ordinary creature. With its powerful physical strength and tough scales, the Australian Magic Dragon ranks among the top monsters of its class.

Monsters of this caliber are naturally beyond the capabilities of a mid-level War God like Shi Jiang. Even with Luo Feng's power-generating techniques, which increased his strength ninefold, and his physical attributes reaching the peak of the War God, he is still far from being a match for them.

In the moment of crisis, Luo Feng disregarded revealing his identity and used his Spiritual Force to carry Shi Jiang in flight. With his peak War God God-level Spiritual Force, even with one person on board, his speed was still superior to that of the King-level Australian Magic Dragon.

Luo Feng quickly led Shi Jiang away from the pursuit of the King-level monster.

However, the scene of Luo Feng carrying Shi Jiang in flight was witnessed by another member of the Elite Training Camp, Candice Polenus.

Candice Polenus, the heir to the Polenus Family and also Li Wei's cousin, quickly reported the news to his family and his aunt Venina.

Upon learning this news, Venina and Li Yao quickly organized a team and traveled to the Australian Continent, preparing to use laser cannons to kill Luo Feng.

However, Luo Feng's senses were also very sharp, and he discovered them in advance, quickly eliminating the other three War God.

Seeing this, Li Yao had no choice but to take matters into his own hands to avenge his son. However, he did not expect that Luo Feng's physical abilities were comparable to his own, and his strength was far superior. He was no match for Luo Feng at all.

Even though he was wearing the Black God Suit, Luo Feng still managed to injure him through the Black God Suit!

After fighting for a while, Luo Feng realized with dismay that although his swordsmanship could injure Li Yao through the Black God Suit, it was difficult to kill him.

Therefore, he could only use his Spiritual Force to attack Li Yao.

Fifteen throwing knives, each carrying a force of 520,000 kilograms, attacked Li Yao simultaneously.

With a deafening "boom!", Li Yao was so shocked that he coughed up blood.

Just as he was preparing to press on and kill Li Yao.

But then a beam of light emanated from Li Yao, and his aura grew stronger and stronger. Under these circumstances, he actually broke through to the Planetary Level.

Having broken through to the Planetary Level, Li Yao's strength has greatly increased. Although Luo Feng can control fifteen flying knives simultaneously through Spiritual Force, their absolute attack power is roughly equal.

However, Li Yao's unpredictable speed and the Black God Suit that could ignore Luo Feng's attacks put Luo Feng on the defensive and put him at a disadvantage.

Luo Feng quickly sent a message to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall Extreme Martial Arts Hall communicator, hoping they could come to his rescue as soon as possible. At the same time, he fought and retreated, seeking not merit but self-preservation, and unknowingly found himself on a lake.

Suddenly, a King-level monster resembling an electric eel burst out of the lake and swiftly attacked Li Yao.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Feng quickly escaped and landed on a misty island in the middle of the lake.

Gulanxiu, far away in the Elite Training Camp, frowned and sighed as he witnessed this scene: After going around in circles, he still ended up back on Mist Island. It's as if every story related to Luo Feng has to go through the same process, even though the process is different, the result is basically the same.

Everything that happened to Luo Feng was a complete reversal of cause and effect. Why would such a result occur when the cause that led to the result was already fixed? At this moment, Gulanxiu once again began to doubt the world before him.
