Chapter 109 Hong's Teacher 'Luo'! Luo Feng and Rong Jun! Fated Rivals!
Inside the room, only Hong and the military commander Luo were present.
"Hong, to be honest, I'm here to ask you to be my apprentice!" Luo said bluntly.
Hong remained calm inside, but the mistake on his face gave Luo enough face.
Luo sighed, "Actually, with your talent to comprehend a lower-level law and a higher-level law, I'm not qualified to be your teacher."
"You flatter me, Commander," Hong Jing said.
"Even in all my years of life, your talent is rare. If you hadn't met Rong Jun, you would have achieved a good ranking even in the final battle!"
"I have my reasons for coming to you. Your personality is similar to mine back then; you are also passionate about combat techniques. Although I haven't become immortal, I am known as the 'Lord of Time,' and like you, I follow the fundamental laws of light and time."
"If you become my disciple, everything I have will be yours—"
Compared to the original story, Luo really put a lot of effort into taking Hong as his disciple this time. After all, Hong's talent is much stronger than it was at this time in the original story. You have to know that at this time in the original story, Hong hadn't even comprehended any laws, but now he has comprehended two major laws!
These two laws correspond one-to-one with Luo, which shows how much Luo covets Hong as his disciple.
Hong was slightly surprised by Luo's words, and thought to himself, no wonder this senior came to find him, the two of them are indeed a perfect match.
Luo shook his head and sighed, "But there's something I must tell you: my lifespan is short, only a little over 20,000 years left!"
"Only 20,000 years left to live?" Hong was somewhat surprised.
Realm Lords have long lifespans, sometimes reaching tens of millions of years, yet this legendary military lord before us is nearing the end of his life.
"throat!"
The old man shook his head and sighed, his voice filled with endless bitterness: "Hong, speaking of which, you and I are quite destined to meet."
"Your name is Hong, and my name is Luo; both are the same character."
"You're at the planetary level, so you have your own domain, and so do I, but you're far more talented than me. You've already grasped the laws of light and time at the constellation level!"
"I am fearless of death, yearning for the path of the strong, wanting to climb to the pinnacle of life! I even fought a thousand battles in the Giant Axe Arena and obtained the title of 'Domain Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior'." The old man sighed.
The title of Giant Axe Warrior, or the Domain Lord level?
This is a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult than the title of Cosmic-level Giant Axe Warrior!
Hong was quite surprised.
"Back then, my best friends, Moria and Lemonto, who both obtained the title of 'Domain Lord-level Giant Axe Warrior', and I jointly established the Three Axe Mountain Organization."
"Back then, I was in charge, and the other two were my assistants."
"Later they became immortals, but I have always been the Lord of the Realm."
"Ambition! It's all because of ambition!"
The old man's eyes gleamed, filled with an intense longing: "If my plan succeeds, once I become immortal, I will be a super strong immortal!"
"At that time, even if I joined the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, I could immediately become the most outstanding immortal being under the Qianwu Kingdom's Demon Lord!"
Hong Weiwei asked, "The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom has been ground into immortality?"
The old man asked, "How many immortals are there in the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield?"
"Only two," Hong said.
"Yes, the entire Qianwu Universe has more than 13,000 star domains, and each star domain has two immortals. Adding them all up, even the Qianwu Kingdom ruler only has a little over 10,000 immortals! The vast majority of immortals belong to the five giants."
"So many!" Hong exclaimed in surprise.
"There's nothing surprising about it," Luo sighed. "You don't even realize how vast the Universe Kingdom is. It may seem like a lot, but it's the result of countless years of accumulation. In terms of probability, the chance of an immortal being born among the Realm Lords is extremely low."
Realm Lords live for tens of millions of years, and there are millions of Realm Lords in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. They are replaced every thousand years. It takes countless years of accumulation to achieve such "immortality".
"I've come to terms with it."
"And looking back, I realize I was a bit too impulsive back then. Even though becoming immortal would have given me eternal life to comprehend the laws of time, I insisted on staying at the World Lord level just for the advantage of comprehending the laws at the World Lord level, which led to the current situation."
"It's fate, really. Just when I changed my mind, no longer harboring such grand ambitions, and wanted to perfect and break through to 'immortality' through the fundamental laws of light, I encountered a calamity and was trapped inside for over 800,000 years! Wasting my last bit of time—"
"I'm not going to say anything more."
The old man looked at Hong and smiled, "I've told you most of my story."
"I can teach you the two fundamental laws of light and time. I dare not say anything else, but even among the millions of realm lords in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, while I wouldn't dare claim to be number one, I'm definitely in the top three! I'm confident I can escape even from an immortal!"
The old man remained silent for a moment before saying, "Originally, I planned to take my successor on a wandering journey. After all, I've only just escaped my predicament and have a little over 20,000 years left. Before I die, I also want to see many places."
"But if it's you, with such amazing talent, you naturally can't wander with me forever—you only need to accompany me for a period of time. After I pass on all my knowledge to you, I will introduce you to the Giant Axe Arena, so that it won't hinder your growth!"
"At the same time, I will not give up cultivation."
"In the last 20,000 years, I will still give it my all to see if you can break through the cycle of fate and become immortal before your time comes."
Hong made up his mind after only a moment's thought.
The main reason was the stimulation from Luo Feng and Thor. Back then, he was the number one person on Earth!
Later, Luo Feng received the inheritance of the Meteorite Star, and Thor received the inheritance of the World Lord in the Thunder World, but he alone never received an inheritance.
That's why he's now far behind them.
After all, all three of them were under Zhou Ze's guidance, and there was no difference in these aspects except for the lack of inheritance.
That's what Hong thinks.
"Military Lord——"
Luo felt slightly disappointed when she heard Hong address her that way.
"But the Qianwu Universe Kingdom sent an envoy who said that I must join their Qianwu Secret Realm—" Hong said somewhat awkwardly.
Luo, who had been somewhat disappointed, immediately smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, I have a way to solve this. After all, I am a member of the Giant Axe Arena..."
"teacher!"
Hong immediately knelt down on the ground.
"Um."
Luo smiled slightly on the surface, but he was extremely excited inside. Heaven had been kind to him, allowing him to find such a disciple in his later years.
Zhou Ze, who was chatting with Senior Manluo in real life, suddenly received news that Hong had become his disciple and would be leaving soon. He immediately returned to the Nine Star Bay Community in the virtual universe.
"Teacher Zhou, my brother is about to leave with his teacher, let's get together." Thor looked at Zhou Ze and said, "Speaking of which, you haven't been back for a long time either, we should get together offline later."
The three of them didn't go to any restaurant, but instead ordered takeout from the stone table.
"You're leaving right after the gathering? That's pretty dry!" Zhou Ze said, sitting at the stone table. "After all, my teacher doesn't have much time left. I can't let him wait any longer," Hong laughed.
Thor sighed, "I never imagined that after spending so much time together, my brother would suddenly be leaving—"
Luo Feng nodded: "That's too sudden." Zhou Ze laughed: "Isn't this great? Anyway, we can meet anytime in the virtual universe. Besides, Teacher Hong is known as the 'Lord of Time,' which suits him perfectly!"
Hong smiled slightly and said, "That's what I think too."
Thor was still somewhat reluctant and said, "With Brother Hong's talent, he could easily find an immortal powerhouse as his teacher."
"Let alone dual-law geniuses, even single-law geniuses have many immortals who are willing to take them as disciples."
Hong was not angry, but smiled and said, "What suits you best is the best. Besides, no matter how strong an immortal is, I may not be the only disciple. My teacher only has 20,000 years left to live, and I am currently his only disciple. He must value me the most."
Thor pursed his lips: "I know, I know, I'm just a little annoyed that he was taken away by my older brother as soon as he arrived..."
"Ha ha-."
Zhou Ze and the others all laughed.
"Are you being childish?" Zhou Ze said speechlessly. "To be honest, even the strongest person isn't necessarily a good teacher."
"And sometimes, it's hard to tell whether it's the teacher's excellent teaching or the student's own talent!"
"Actually, the main role of a teacher in this universe is to protect and pass on secret techniques to a disciple. Ultimately, you still have to rely on yourself. Besides, it won't prevent you from finding a stronger teacher in the future."
Upon hearing Zhou Ze's words, Hong, Lei Shen, and the other two all frowned.
Zhou Ze naturally knew what the two were thinking, and laughed, "The master-disciple relationship in the universe is different from that on Earth. On Earth, we believe in a teacher for life and a father for life!"
"But the lifespan of a powerful being in the universe is far too long, and they will have different teachers at different stages. Take it easy, and keep up with the times."
Babata jumped out and said, "That's exactly right. Luo Feng was like that back then. I really don't understand the thought process of you Earthlings."
"You should know that in the universe, it's perfectly normal for a powerful being to have dozens of teachers. Planetary-level beings have teachers, cosmic-level beings have teachers, world lords, and even immortals all have teachers—it's all perfectly normal."
Hong and Lei Shen clearly still felt uneasy. They found it even harder to accept than Luo Feng because they had originally studied martial arts under a master and their thinking was more traditional.
Zhou Ze pointed at Luo Feng and said, "I still have four disciples, but all I can do is guide them on the laws and the secret techniques I've learned."
"I can't provide anything else, such as connections, protection, or treasures. If an immortal or even stronger being were to take my disciple as an apprentice in the future, I would be overjoyed, because it would prove that my judgment is quite good if my disciple were valued by a super being."
"Furthermore, all those sages of ancient times had several teachers—"
Babata nodded: "You are all disciples of my Meteorite Star. I haven't forbade you from taking on more masters. Besides, taking on a master doesn't mean you have to sever ties with your previous teachers!"
Given Hong and Thor's mindset, they were only slightly annoyed at first, but they quickly came to terms with it:
"It's not that we have to fight to the death, it's just that our old ways of thinking are so deeply ingrained that we can't accept them all at once," Thor chuckled.
Hong nodded: "Once you enter the universe, you have to follow its laws. My teacher allows it, so I won't be stubborn."
Babata said nonchalantly, "Don't worry. If Nalo restricts you from taking other teachers, then he's not a qualified teacher. What teacher would forbid their disciple from progressing?"
Earth.
After having dinner with Luo Feng and Thor, Hong left after talking with his family and friends and explaining the matters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng's battle of geniuses continues.
The arena battles lasted for five days, which is far too short in the universe.
On the evening of July 22, 2066, China time,
In the virtual universe, on Heilongshan Island, in the Jiuxingwan residential area, late at night, Zhou Ze, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were all on the rooftop of Luo Feng's residence.
"This guy just left, it was quite sentimental, but we met in the virtual universe right away, it makes me feel really uncomfortable!" Thor complained.
"I've just been dealing with some things with my teacher these past few days, so I haven't been to the neighborhood," Hong said with a slight smile.
Zhou Ze smiled slightly as well: "That's the greatness of the virtual universe. Even if we're billions of light-years apart, we can meet in the virtual universe anytime!"
Luo Feng nodded and pointed to the sky. Instantly, a large screen appeared in the air, displaying a list of densely packed text.
The four carefully analyzed the opponents Luo Feng would encounter next.
Suddenly, Thor's eyes widened: "Oh no, Third Son, you're going to face off against Rong Jun!"
Luo Feng's face was solemn, as was Hong's.
Only Zhou Ze joked with interest, "Xiao Feng, as the senior brother, you mustn't get lectured by your junior brother!"
