After carefully considering their wording, Hong and Thunder God sent an email to Thunder Light King.

The gist of it is that the two had long admired the Thunder Light King's reputation and hoped to become his Thunder Light King, blah blah blah.

Of course, none of that is the main point. The main point is that the email states that the two of them were introduced by Li Jing.

After sending the email, the two began to wait anxiously.

Even knowing that Li Jing had influence, the other party would still accept them as apprentices no matter how unwilling they were.

But until the actual results are in, it still makes people a little uneasy.

"Master, you have a new email!"

On a mineral planet in a star field directly under the Ganwu Universe Country, Thunder Light King sat cross-legged on a mine mountain that was tens of thousands of feet high. His whole body was shrouded in strong fluctuations of the Time Origin Law. His eyes were calm and still, and his brows furrowed slightly from time to time.

After suddenly receiving an email notification from his virtual assistant, the fluctuations of the Time Origin Law within him disappeared, and he separated a wisp of his consciousness to connect with the Virtual Universe and view the email content.

At first glance, Thunder Light King's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Hong, Thunder God?

A top-ranking genius among the Universe Level members of the Ganwu Secret Region wants to become my apprentice?

So what?

The universe has no shortage of geniuses.

Beings like Hong and Thunder God are born in the Ganwu Universe Country every ten epochs or so.

It would certainly be very attractive to ordinary Immortal, but to him, it was no different from that of a cat or a dog.

Having not made a move in public for a long time, do outsiders think that Thunder Light King's temper has improved?

Um?

Recommended by Li Jing!

"Little Bu, get me information on Hong and Thunder God, focusing on whether they have any contact with Li Jing!"

Thunder Light King had intended to ignore the two emails requesting to become his apprentice and to block Hong and Thunder God.

Upon suddenly discovering that the email mentioned being recommended by Li Jing, his gloomy face instantly brightened.

Just to be on the safe side, he also had his virtual assistant investigate Hong and Thunder God's background.

"Master, we've found out. Hong and Thunder God registered their Universe Citizen citizenship at the Black Dragon Mountain Empire's official office on Qiu Long Star. Before the last Genius Battle, His Highness Li Jing personally introduced them to the Ganwu Secret Region, granting them direct access to the benefits of Four-Leaf Student."

Soon, Thunder Light King's virtual assistant uncovered the information.

If they really are in contact with Li Jing, then their claim that Li Jing introduced them is true!

Good! Good! Good!

Who would have thought that Thunder Light King would have such a lucky time?

Li Jing's reputation is known throughout the entire Ganwu Universe Country.

The most beloved disciple of the great Ganwu Country Lord, it is said that he does not even need to announce his presence to enter the ruler's temple.

This is a unique privilege among the king's disciples and even his descendants.

Not to mention, he displayed astonishing talent in the previous Genius Battle.

Although the progress of the Trial Tower was abruptly interrupted at the end, the score was only fixed at the third floor of the seventh Trial Tower.

However, many Immortal, including him, combined with the Ganwu Country Lord's high regard for Li Jing, speculated that Li Jing might have the potential to become a powerful figure at the level of a kingdom ruler.

Every single one of them was thinking about how to curry favor with Li Jing, the future super powerhouse and current ruler of the Ganwu Universe Country.

The Crown Prince.

However, they struggled to find a way in.

The Thirteen Divine Generals, who guided Li Jing to the Ganwu Secret Region and subsequently led the team to participate in the Genius Battle and successfully gained his favor, were both envious and jealous.

Is this incredible wealth finally his turn?

We must take him on as an apprentice!

If he takes on Hong and Thunder God as disciples, won't he be associated with Prince Li Jing in the future?

To round it off, he said he had already become Prince Li Jing's person. Is there a problem?

Yes, not only do we need to take on apprentices, but we need to do it in a grand and impressive way, and we need to devote all our energy to teaching them in the future!

Otherwise, how could I demonstrate my respect for Prince Li Jing?

"Little Bu, immediately reply to Hong and Thunder God, saying that I, Thunder Light King, am willing to accept them as disciples, and will hold a disciple-acceptance ceremony in the Ganwu Secret Region in three days. Tell them to prepare in advance."

"The key is for them to invite His Highness Li Jing and see if Li Jing would do me the honor of attending."

"Furthermore, please inform my close friends and colleagues so they can attend and witness the ceremony."

Thunder Light King had lost even the interest in comprehending the Origin Law.

We've already been stuck at this bottleneck for tens of millions of epochs, so what's a little longer? It's more important to handle the apprenticeship process well.

"Yes, Master!"

"Thunder Light King's Intelligent Life Black, responded loudly."

On the other side, Hong and Thunder God, who had been anxiously waiting, finally received a reply from Thunder Light King.

However, after reading the entire reply email, the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Why does it seem like Thunder Light King is even more eager to take on disciples than they are?

Three days later, a grand ceremony will be held to accept apprentices.

Clearly, their real intention wasn't the wine itself, nor was it about their exceptional talent; rather, it was about Li Jing, who was behind them.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have specifically asked them to invite Li Jing along.

Li Jing's influence was truly immense; he didn't even bother to inform them, only mentioning it briefly in their apprenticeship email.

Thunder Light King, whose strength was extremely formidable among the Three Hundred Kings and Marquises of the Ganwu Universe Country, was also so attentive.

In any case, this is a good thing for them.

The two immediately conveyed their apprenticeship to Li Jing through the Virtual Universe and invited Li Jing to attend the apprenticeship ceremony three days later.

However, Li Jing politely declined, only stating that he would send his butler Alice, to deliver the gift at the appointed time.

The main problem is that there will be too many people at the apprenticeship ceremony. If Li Jing were to be present, he would inevitably have to deal with those who want to curry favor with him.

Moreover, his appearance would undoubtedly steal the spotlight from Hong and Thunder God, causing people to overlook the apprenticeship ceremony itself and simply choose not to attend, seeking some peace and quiet.

After a moment's thought, Hong and Thunder God understood Li Jing's intention, but they were still slightly disappointed.

What's wrong with the guest overshadowing the host?

Li Jing's presence at the scene was the greatest support he could give to the two of them.

In the entire Ganwu Universe Country, who dares to underestimate the two of them?

However, Li Jing had already helped them enough, so they were too embarrassed to insist that Li Jing come over.

Moreover, with Li Jing's butler Alice delivering gifts, the effect was almost the same.

Thunder Light King was also somewhat disappointed upon hearing the news, but considering there would be plenty of opportunities after taking on disciples, he stopped dwelling on the matter.

Three days later, a grand apprenticeship ceremony was held in the Ganwu Secret Region.

Many people were shocked that Thunder Light King, who hadn't taken on any disciples in a long time, would accept Hong and Thunder God, who were considered "Pingping talents" in the eyes of powerful figures like himself.

These questions were answered when Alice Li Jing's Alice, arrived with gifts.

Their gazes toward Hong and Thunder God turned envious.

Two lucky lads actually managed to get involved with someone like Prince Li Jing, and even had Thunder Light King arranged as their teacher.

Thunder Light King is spineless; in order to curry favor with Prince Li Jing, he even made a big fuss about accepting such a talented disciple.

Pshaw~

They may outwardly express their disdain, but only they know how much envy they secretly harbor.

If they were in Thunder Light King's position, they would have acted even more shamelessly.
