On the streets of Chaos City.
Feng Lang stared in disbelief at the email he had just received—it was from the Myriad Laws Venerable, whom everyone had just been discussing.
The email content was very simple----
In short, if you want to become an apprentice, come to the No. 1 Mansion for lessons; if you don't want to become an apprentice, that's fine too.
" Feng Lang, don't be sad. After all, Myriad Laws Venerable is Universe Venerable of the Virtual Universe Company. It's normal that he doesn't accept disciples from other major forces. Your teacher, Ash Annihilation King, is also very good. He's a good teacher who cares about his disciples. With your potential, in the future, Universe Venerable from our Mercenary Alliance might very well accept you as a disciple."
The girl beside him looked at the dazed Feng Lang and offered some words of comfort.
"No, Myriad Laws Venerable just sent me an email asking me to attend a lecture."
"Feng Lang said."
"What? No way? You must be joking, right?" The girl beside him stared wide-eyed, her mouth slightly agape.
"Haha, Feng Lang, you're too funny. What kind of status does Myriad Laws Venerable have? Would he personally send you an email to invite you to attend a class? Could it be that some genius doesn't like you and is deliberately making fun of you?"
A descendant of the Universe Country Lord, dressed in a gilded battle suit, smiled and said.
" Feng Lang, I admit you have some talent, but is it enough that the Universe Venerable would personally send you an email? You're not suggesting that the Myriad Laws Venerable wants to take you as his disciple, are you? Do you know who the Myriad Laws Venerable ' disciples are? Ling Yu —who recently crossed the 19th level of the Heavenly Bridge, Yi Yun —the youngest King-level Immortal God of the Human Race to be crowned a King, and Wu Man —the prince of Manka Star —their status is far higher than mine!"
"How funny!"
"A native, indulging in wishful thinking."
The other geniuses also spoke up, each looking at Feng Lang with a hint of disdain in their eyes.
They were all born into top-tier families and already held a certain disdain for geniuses like Feng Lang, who were born into the local tribes. Now, hearing him say this, they all mocked him.
" Feng Lang, it's best not to make jokes like that. What if the Universe Venerable finds out?"
The girl, also from the Universe Mercenary Alliance, tugged at the sleeve of the Feng Lang and cautiously reminded him.
It's true.
Feng Lang snorted and directly displayed the email.
A group of geniuses simultaneously looked at the contents of the email.
"No way, could someone be impersonating him?"
"Impossible! Who would dare impersonate the Universe Venerable —even using the Universe Venerable's name for their email address?"
The young man in the gilded battle armor examined it carefully, then his expression changed slightly. His initial arrogance quickly vanished, and he said with a smile, " Feng Lang, everyone was just joking earlier. Don't take it to heart. I can vouch for this; this email was personally sent by Myriad Laws Venerable."
"What!"
"That's impossible."
Others are still questioning it.
The boy in the gilded battle armor said, "Didn't you see the symbol next to the email's name? That's official verification from the Virtual Universe. Even if someone were impersonating someone, they couldn't have that verification symbol. This email really came from Myriad Laws Venerable. Feng Lang, hurry to Mansion Number One, the lecture is about to start!"
"Yes, yes, hurry up and go! Feng Lang, you've hit the jackpot!" The girl next to him was shocked and urged him on.
"I'd like to ask my teacher first."
"Feng Lang said."
"You idiot, are you stupid? Universe Venerable, your teacher—" The boy in the gilded battle armor almost blurted out, but quickly stopped himself and said, "Your teacher is quite good, but compared to Universe Venerable, they're on two different levels. Don't even mention you, even if your teacher received this email, he'd probably immediately go and become his disciple."
"Yes, it's a rare opportunity," the girl said.
"If you really want to ask the teacher, you can call him while you go to Residence Number One. Don't waste time."
Urged on by the two, Feng Lang nodded and ran quickly towards the No. 1 mansion.
On the way, he sent a call request to his teacher and told him about it.
He naturally received the teacher's permission and was warned to be very respectful.
With no other concerns, Feng Lang walked to the outside of Mansion No. 1 and stepped inside.
The light barrier outside the door did not hinder him at all, and he walked straight in.
"They're really inside!"
"It seems it's true."
When they saw Feng Lang actually enter the mansion, all the geniuses who had come with him were shocked. They never expected that the natives they had looked down upon would actually be accepted as disciples by the renowned Myriad Laws Venerable.
This is practically instant success.
Some of the young geniuses were still unconvinced and tried it out, only to be violently thrown back by the light shield, ending up with a mouthful of dust before leaving in a sorry state.
The boy in the gilded battle suit wore a look of envy on his face.
Although he was a descendant of the Universe Country Lord, he had only met that ancestor a few times and was far inferior to the ancestor's disciple in status. Now that Feng Lang had become the disciple of the Myriad Laws Venerable, his status was much higher than his.
"Junior Sister Hong Mei."
The boy in the gilded battle suit glanced at the genius girl from the Universe Mercenary Alliance who had come to the Initial Universe with Feng Lang.
"What are you doing, Hong Shan?"
The girl asked with a hint of wariness.
"This—" Hong Shan took out a crystal from his World Ring with a pained expression and said, "This treasure is slightly helpful for comprehending the Wind Law. Please pass it on to Brother Feng Lang as my congratulatory gift."
"Why didn't you hand it to him yourself?" the girl in red asked in surprise.
"Brother Feng Lang has been accepted as a disciple by Myriad Laws Venerable, and I don't know when I'll see him again. I'll be leaving Chaos City soon, but you're different. You are both geniuses of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and we'll see each other many times in the future. Do me a favor."
"Okay, fine."
This explanation was barely plausible. The girl glanced at the crystal and put it away.
Outside the No. 1 mansion, countless powerful individuals had gathered, each possessing strength no less than that of Immortal God.
Among them are even quite a few individuals who have been granted the King Level.
For even the King-level Immortal God Universe Venerable, receiving instruction personally is a rare opportunity.
Almost all the powerful figures who had been cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City came, except for those who were in closed-door training.
They entered one by one.
Not far from the No. 1 residence.
A handsome young man, three meters tall, dressed in a black robe and with two soft antennae on his head, looked at the powerful figures continuously entering the mansion with a conflicted expression on his face.
" Xiao Wu, do you think I should go in or not?"
He asked nervously.
"Go ahead, you're already here. It's extremely rare for the Universe Venerable to give a lecture. Although you, Master, have become Venerable Lei Ming, you're only a nominal one and not qualified to receive personal instruction from Venerable Lei Ming. Perhaps after listening to his lecture, you'll be able to pass level 16."
"We 'Heavenly Bridge." Xiao Wu's figure appeared beside her.
"But—I refused Myriad Laws Venerable before, and now I'm here to listen to his lectures. What will Myriad Laws Venerable?"
Kelabu asked hesitantly.
"Who is Myriad Laws Venerable? He's Universe Venerable! How could he remember such a trivial matter? He might have already forgotten about you. Besides, almost all the geniuses of the Myriad Laws Venerable Primal Secret Region have arrived. If you don't go, it might seem strange."
"That seems to be the case."
Kelabu had already seen many familiar faces.
If all the other geniuses go to the Primal Secret Region and I don't, it might cause bad speculation.
" The Myriad Laws Venerable must have already forgotten about me."
Kelabu gritted his teeth and followed the crowd inside. A flash of light passed by, but it didn't stop him, which relieved Kelabu.
It seems Myriad Laws Venerable isn't so petty; perhaps he really has forgotten about himself.
Upon entering the No. 1 mansion, Kelabu deliberately chose the most secluded corner. From here, one would not be able to see the position on the platform unless one looked closely, and the person on the platform would not notice him unless they were deliberately looking.
After sitting down on a futon, Kelabu glanced at the person next to him.
He was a boy dressed in animal skins—what era is this? Still wearing animal skins? He must have his own unique hobby.
The boy next to him glanced at Kelabu, and the two looked at each other, thus acquainting.
After a long while, a figure walked past the two of them, went straight to the front, and sat down on a futon.
Then, one genius after another walked over, quickly filling up the front row.
"Are those disciples of the Myriad Laws Venerable?"
A voice came from inside.
Kelabu turned to look at the animal-skinned boy beside him, nodded, and said, "They are all disciples of the Myriad Laws Venerable. That purple-haired woman is Ling Yu, the number one genius of the Primal Secret Region, who has passed through the 19th level of the Ten Thousand Universes Heavenly Bridge! That Winged Human in the white robe is called Yi Yun, King-level Immortal God. That guy with the Golden Sword on his back, who looks so pretentious, is called Golden Sword, and he is also a member of the Primal Secret Region —and that barbarian boy is called Wu Man— "
Kelabu introduced them as if they were his own treasures.
As I read the introduction, I felt a pang of sadness.
Before he refused to Myriad Laws Venerable, Myriad Laws Venerable's disciples had not displayed any particularly extraordinary strength. However, after his refusal, they all seemed to have unleashed their full potential; one reached the 19th level, another became King Rank, and even Wu Man had caught up with him.
If he had known this outcome earlier, he would have definitely chosen to become the personal disciple of the King of Myriad Laws King, and then Yi Yun's position might have been his.
Feng Lang was equally surprised.
He never expected that all of Myriad Laws Venerable's disciples were such geniuses, almost all of whom he could not compare to. So why did Myriad Laws Venerable take a liking to him? This puzzled him greatly.
Even when he spoke with his teacher, the teacher was very surprised and asked him to confirm the details several times.
"Could it be the miraculous bloodline within me?"
The Feng Lang suddenly thought of its own bloodline.
His bloodline is very strange. If it weren't for this bloodline, he would have died at the hands of the Wizard King of the Five Elements Tribe long ago, and he wouldn't be where he is today. Myriad Laws Venerable is the most talented Universe Venerable among Human Race. Perhaps he really has special abilities and saw my bloodline.
At that very moment, a Teleportation teleported onto the high platform.
With his long blue robe and gentle smile, he looked like just an ordinary teacher.
However.
After the man in the green robe appeared, almost everyone knelt down and bowed in respect.
"Greetings, Myriad Laws Venerable "
Feng Lang and Kelabu also bowed their heads and knelt on the ground in reverence. If even those King-level Immortal God did so, let alone these little guys.
No need for formalities.
"Thank you, Myriad Laws Venerable."
Everyone slowly stood up. Kelabu looked up and secretly glanced at the Myriad Laws Venerable on the platform, but his face suddenly turned pale.
Because the Myriad Laws Venerable was clearly looking at himself.
He quickly lowered his head, avoiding eye contact with the other person.
"Oh my god, why is this happening? Xiao Wu, didn't you say that Myriad Laws Venerable had forgotten me? I clearly chose the most secluded spot."
"Master, I don't know either. Who knew Myriad Laws Venerable would hold such a grudge?"
"But what can I do now? Myriad Laws Venerable has already found out. I rejected him, and now I'm still coming to listen to his lectures. Myriad Laws Venerable probably wants to kill me."
"Master, if you're going to die, Xiao Wu will die with you!"
"But I can't bear to Xiao Wu."
"I also can't bear to part with my master."
"Waaaaah!"
In the Virtual Universe, Kelabu and Xiao Wu embraced each other and wept bitterly.
