The Thirteen Divine Generals Addressed Him as Your Highness, Shaking Everyone to the Core
Your Highness?
The Lord Thirteen addressed Li Jing as "Your Highness."
Those students who were wondering why the Thirteen Divine Generals were waiting for Li Jing to emerge from the Law Tower in the trial area, just like them, were now deeply shocked.
The Thirteen Divine Generals Li Jing as "Your Highness," and the king himself had ordered him to personally escort Li Jing there; the implications of this were all too clear.
The great Ganwu Country Lord is preparing to accept Li Jing as his disciple!
What should have been the envy of everyone was now something no one dared to even entertain the thought of.
The gap between Li Jing and them was so vast that even if these so-called geniuses simply looked directly at Li Jing, they would be blinded by the dazzling light emanating from Li Jing.
The fact that the ruler of the entire Universe Country would accept a disciple, a move that would cause a sensation among all the high-ranking officials, seemed perfectly reasonable when applied to Li Jing.
To presume to say something presumptuous, if they were great rulers, they too would have considered taking Li Jing as their disciple upon encountering such a genius.
While renowned teachers are hard to find, excellent students are even harder to come by!
The Demon Blade in the crowd was extremely grateful that he had listened to his ancestor's advice.
Ever since learning that Li Jing was coming to the Ganwu Secret Region, he had been keeping watch near the residential area.
That's how I had the chance to establish even the slightest, insignificant connection with Li Jing, this hidden dragon.
If you're like those other fools who missed the window of opportunity, you won't even have the confidence or the right to approach them for a chat!
They really know the saying "old ginger is spicier"—our ancestor had truly insightful vision and made decisive decisions!
It's just that my own abilities were a bit lacking.
Otherwise, they might even be able to take Li Jing as their disciple before the King himself.
Even if this master-disciple relationship can only last for a short time, their family will benefit immensely from it.
However, compared to others who want to build connections but can't find a way, they are already very lucky!
At this moment, under everyone's watchful eyes, Li Jing nodded. "Please lead the way, Lord Thirteen!"
Everyone guessed the Ganwu Country Lord's intention in taking on a disciple, and Li Jing was no exception. At this moment, he was weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
The first advantage of becoming a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord is that you basically won't have to worry about resources before reaching the Venerable Level.
Even though the Ganwu Country Lord is jokingly called the most indebted Human Race, and also has the nickname "Lord Qianwu," he owes a huge sum of 3.8 Supreme Treasure Point.
However destitute he may be, the Ganwu Country Lord is still a dignified High Universe Venerable; all he lacks are Treasure Points.
Supreme Treasure Point.
Ordinary Hunyuan Unit are utterly insignificant in the eyes of the Ganwu Country Lord.
In the eyes of the Ganwu Country Lord, the resources Li Jing had before advancing from the Star Level to the Venerable Level were not even a drop in the ocean compared to his debts.
If they were to take Li Jing as a disciple, they certainly wouldn't be short of these things.
Secondly, although the Ganwu Country Lord was unlucky, his strength was not weak.
Even with only basic equipment, he possesses combat power at the level of Higher Universe Venerable.
If he were to acquire a full set of Supreme Treasure, he would probably be comparable to a typical Universe Overlord.
Before Li Jing reached the Immortal Level, the Ganwu Country Lord, with his strength and status, could easily have protected him.
Finally, one good thing is that even after the Ganwu Country Lord was resurrected three times, he still had friends lending him Supreme Treasure, and he never actively urged him to return them over the years, only doing so once when there was an urgent matter.
This is sufficient proof that the Ganwu Country Lord is well-liked and of good character.
At least they're not like the Undying Venerable or the Shi Huo Venerable.
Now that we've covered the advantages, let's talk about the disadvantages.
There are basically no downsides; after all, you can't just have one teacher in the universe.
If a teacher's skills are insufficient to meet a student's requirements, the student can seek another teacher, as long as they respect their teacher and do not betray their teacher or ancestors.
Like Luo Feng, who had studied under four different teachers along his journey, including the now-deceased Hu Yanbo.
As for becoming the disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, will it lead to the exposure of his secrets?
How could the Ganwu Country Lord, High Universe Venerable, possibly dedicate a portion of his intelligence to following Li Jing like Babata did?
It's considered good if we can meet once a year in the Virtual Universe.
At most, you can just be more careful when drawing cards later. Compared to the benefits you can get, this problem is not worth mentioning at all.
As for where the money Li Jing used for card draws went?
If a system can't even handle these basic details, what kind of rule-based cheat is it?
Moreover, even if we take a step back and assume the worst, it's not something you can simply choose not to take on a master.
The Universe Country Lord is going to accept a mere Star Level genius like you as a disciple, and you've refused without any other mentor. Even a fool would know there's something wrong with you, and it will only bring you bigger trouble.
With this in mind, Li Jing decided to accept it gladly.
"I dare not accept such a title, Your Highness Li Jing. Just call me Thirteen!"
The Thirteen Divine Generals to accept Li Jing's address of "sir" without feeling at ease.
Li Jing's current strength is like that of an ant compared to him.
But he was about to become the personal disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, and his status and position were undeniable.
If he were to put on airs in front of Li Jing, he would truly be brainless.
He has served the Ganwu Country Lord for countless eons and is still ranked among the Eighteen Divine Generals. He is also responsible for cultivating geniuses that the Ganwu Country Lord values highly.
The Thirteen Divine Generals were far from being as rough and burly as they appeared; they were actually quite shrewd and calculating.
He ignored the ordinary students whose faces and eyes were completely blank.
Led by the Thirteen Divine Generals, Li Jing headed to the palace where the Ganwu Country Lord resided.
Along the way, the Thirteen Divine Generals said with no small amount of envy, "Your Highness Li Jing, as you probably guessed, I had just reported your performance in the tower to His Majesty the King, and His Majesty immediately had the idea of taking you as a disciple, instructing me to wait for you outside the Law Tower. I congratulate Your Highness Li Jing in advance!"
While envious, the Thirteen Divine Generals were also secretly taking credit.
Li Jing naturally understood the reasoning behind it. "We must thank you, Lord Thirteen, for your efforts."
Seeing that Li Jing understood, the Thirteen Divine Generals smiled even more, "Not at all, it's all because Your Highness's talent is outstanding. I just acted as a mouthpiece."
Even without me, His Majesty the King, after learning of your performance, would have proposed taking you as a disciple.
Soon, the two arrived at the palace of the Ganwu Country Lord. As the Ganwu Country Lord had given instructions beforehand, Li Jing and the other man entered directly without any hindrance.
A majestic and imposing figure sat high above the palace, silently watching them with gentle eyes.
"Li Jing, I've seen the footage of you storming the Law Tower. Your willpower, comprehension, talent, and combat instincts are all top-notch."
Moreover, starting from Qiu Long Star, he has continuously donated his surplus wealth to support various human races in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield who were enslaved, intended to resist, and regained their freedom.
Compassion and kindness towards the weak among fellow Human Race are extremely rare qualities among geniuses.
I'm considering taking you as my apprentice. Are you willing?
Since the Ganwu Country Lord was prepared to take Li Jing as his disciple, he had someone investigate Li Jing's past identity. After discovering Li Jing's "actions" on Qiu Long Star, he admired Li Jing even more.
At least his prospective apprentice is of excellent character and temperament; if you treat him with sincerity, you will naturally receive genuine rewards.
Furthermore, there's no need to worry about him becoming distorted in personality after gaining power, or doing heinous things.
Funding the rebellion and independence of enslaved races?
This seems to explain where the funds for the system's gacha draws go!
That's good. At the same time, it prevents suspicion that someone with so much money is mysteriously disappearing, and it can also be considered a good deed.
Li Jing secretly gave the Card Draw System a thumbs up in his heart, while continuing his actions, he respectfully performed a disciple-acceptance ceremony for the Ganwu Country Lord.
"Disciple Li Jing greets Master!"
