"My lord, may I ask which faction of the Human Race you belong to? What is your strength and standing?"
Li Xin remained clearheaded. He would not let this staggering windfall go to his head.
He had already planned to join the Virtual Universe Company through the genius battle. With his current talent, he was confident that by the time the competition arrived, he would be no worse than Bolan in the original story. Once he entered the Initial Universe, surely any master he sought would have to be at least a Venerable?
Most importantly, he still could not be certain that the person before him was a Human Race expert. If he ended up taking an expert from the Alien Race or one of the Human Race's subordinate races as his master, he would be screwed.
The odds of that were minuscule, but however small they were, it could still happen.
So no matter what, he had to confirm the man's identity before accepting him as his master. His future depended on it.
"You've got some nerve, boy!"
"I am one of the Virtual Universe Company's elders, the Lord of Ice Peak. You may not have heard my name."
"All you need to know is that even the strongest person in your Qianwu Country, its ruler, is someone I could crush with a single finger."
"Do you have any other questions?"
The Lord of Ice Peak was fairly even-tempered. As a Universe Master, he had come to accept a disciple, only to find himself being questioned at every turn.
Had it been another Universe Master, they would either have walked away or casually killed Li Xin.
The Lord of Ice Peak, a Universe Master and the Chaos City Lord's junior fellow disciple!
Hearing that name, Li Xin was stunned.
