Giant Axe Battle Arena

Time passed swiftly in the Primitive Universe, and over twenty years seemed to have gone by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, deep inside Rong Bing Island within the Virtual Universe, in a vast courtyard belonging to the Rongbing Holy Land, Li Che stood with his hands behind his back and spoke eloquently:

"Today, we are starting a brand-new course, primarily studying power-output techniques. Such techniques seem basic, yet they are exceptionally important to us martial artists. All your secret methods, combat skills, domain insights, and so on are amplified entirely on the foundation of power-output techniques."

"For flesh-and-blood lifeforms like us, the theoretical limit of pure physical power output is 100. That is to say, without using genetic power, spiritual force, or law insights, the power-output technique of all parts of the body must reach 100 times normal brute force to be considered complete control over the body."

"To you, every 1 point increase in power-output technique represents a small step up in routine combat strength. This is an extremely high-efficiency means of enhancing strength."

Opposite Li Che, fully twenty-some young people from various human branches stood respectfully, listening meticulously to Li Che's explanation.

Inside this virtual training ground, everyone's strength—including Li Che's—was strictly set at Stellar Level 9, and all Gene Origin Force, spiritual force, and domains were rendered ineffective and utterly unable to be utilized.

"The rule of this universe is that one must achieve complete mastery over the body to possess the qualification to become an Undying Deity."

Li Che snapped his fingers, and virtual data intertwined ahead of him, instantly revealing a humanoid target of a height similar to his own.

Subsequently, the multitude of youths watched as Li Che strode forward, his attacks as fast as lightning and landing swiftly upon the humanoid target:

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Fists, elbows, head, knees, feet-in a mere 0.5 seconds, Li Che's attacks struck the humanoid target five consecutive times.

The youths below looked together toward the virtual screen above the humanoid target.

They saw five red pieces of data appear consecutively upon the screen:

"100, 100, 100, 100, 100-total power-output score is 100!"

Such a spectacle left those youths shaken inexplicably, every one of them gazing at Li Che with faces full of reverence.

"The simplest and crudest way to raise your power-output standard is..."

What they were currently conducting was an advanced course held jointly by the two major holy lands within the Rongbing Empire, with participants being Stellar Level little fellows who would participate in the Peak Genius Battle a few decades later.

Those responsible for tutoring these Stellar Level individuals were World Master Level powerhouses from within the two major holy lands.

Yet in the minds of these Stellar Level little fellows, the World Lord Li Che from the Rong Bing imperial family standing before them was the undisputed strongest among the numerous World Lord teachers.

They had all heard that World Lord Li Che was the strongest World Lord who could sit on equal footing with the Undying divine masters, and was even stronger than those World Lords recognized by the universe's origin laws.

Just like the perfect power output demonstrated in the current power-output technique course, World Lords who could achieve this accomplishment could not be found anywhere in the entire Rongbing Starfield.

The three exclusive courses opened by Li Che within the holy land-power-output training lessons, the deep combination and application of domains and actual combat, and the advancement from domains to laws-were also courses exclusively belonging to the top geniuses within the holy land.

Once Li Che finished explaining this lesson, those Stellar Level little fellows immediately summoned targets matching their respective bodily structures in the Virtual Universe and began today's power-output technique training.

They were all incomparably eager for the upcoming Peak Genius Battle, wishing to elevate their strength at the fastest speed and display themselves in that tournament facing humanity across the entire universe.

Yet after finishing his teaching, Li Che discovered that outside his virtual courtyard, a burly, robust man was standing sternly and sending a visit application to the intelligent assistant Bai Yue.

"Army Master Yanpo of the Giant Axe Battle Arena? What is he here for?"

Li Che recognized the identity of that divine giant at a glance and accepted Army Master Yanpo's request to visit.

More than twenty years had already passed since he defeated Iron Sword Marquis, yet he still had not received news from the five major powers that any great being was willing to take him as a disciple.

This left Li Che rather helpless.

Given his understanding of the Swallowed Star universe, by rights, even if he were not valued by any Universe Venerable of the five major powers, there should at least have been a King-grade undying willing to take a disciple.

Yet the result was simply nothing at all.

Li Che had even made up his mind that if another dozen years passed and still no entity was willing to take the initiative to accept him as a disciple, he would simply join the Universe Galaxy Bank and purchase an internally supplied Initial Universe quota to venture through the Heavenly Bridge.

In a place like the Initial Universe, Li Che felt the probability of being taken as a disciple by a great being would be quite a bit higher.

As his thoughts spun rapidly, that Army Master Yanpo from the Giant Axe Battle Arena had already arrived inside Li Che's virtual courtyard, and the divine giant's resonant voice carried a faint trace of fire laws, causing the surrounding temperature to rise by several degrees:

"Hahaha! World Master of Guixu truly has such leisurely elegance to actually be willing to personally guide these Stellar Level little fellows!"

Li Che looked toward that Army Master Yanpo. The level of this fire undying deity was not as high as that of Rong Bing Army Master; judging from the fire law aura around him, the basic strength brought by his divine body level was only around 500 times peak World Lord might.

"Just passing the time. My divine master felt a few of the little fellows had decent talent, so I simply took some time to teach them." He politely invited this undying deity to be seated and spoke casually.

Over the span of more than twenty years, he naturally had not poured all his time into guiding these little fellows; the vast majority of his time had been spent on the deep development of self-created secret methods.

The courses arranged for him by Rong Bing Army Master were merely small classes held two or three times a month.

"Then I wish World Master of Guixu gains something, preferably with a few little fellows directly joining our core secret realm!" The divine giant Army Master Yanpo nodded and said.

Li Che returned a smile: "I wonder if Army Master Yanpo has come to visit personally this time for something?"

He harbored some anticipation. The Giant Axe Battle Arena was currently the undisputed location of top-tier combat strength within the human race; if he could join it, it would entirely match Li Che's expectations.

Upon hearing this, Army Master Yanpo's expression became slightly serious as he said in a deep voice:

"Indeed, I have indeed come this time under the command of a great being to invite World Master of Guixu to go with me to the Virtual Universe's Giant Axe Space-Time to meet that entity."

This news caused a mountain to seem to drop within Li Che's heart.

For someone to be called a great being by an undying deity, they had to be at least at the level of a universe sovereign.

"Very well, may I ask which great being wishes to see me, Army Master?"

Naturally, he had no intention of refusing, and at the same time he made a move, transferring two thousand Hunyuan Units to Army Master Yanpo's virtual account.

This caused the divine giant Army Master Yanpo to beam with joy.

Two thousand Hunyuan Units-this unexpected windfall was already sufficiently startling in the eyes of a mid-level undying deity like him:

"The one who wishes to see you is Lord Venerable Luan Mo of my Giant Axe Battle Arena, who is also the venerated person in charge of the upcoming Peak Genius Battle."

"That Venerable Luan Mo has shown the intention to take me as a disciple?" Li Che pursued the question.

Army Master Yanpo originally wanted to remain silent, but thinking of the two thousand Hunyuan Units Li Che had just transferred to him, he spoke only after deliberate consideration:

"Perhaps not. The great Venerable Luan Mo said that he was also acting on orders to meet you."
