Swallowed Star: Top Comprehension

Chapter 118 Don’t move, let His Majesty see!
That majestic voice echoed in the fighting arena...

McDaniel's expression went through a brief moment of astonishment, then turned into unconcealable joy, and finally revealed deep awe.

Chen Yue didn't need to think too much, he already knew who the visitor was.

That was the ruler of Qianwu Universe, who was also a senior executive of Virtual Universe Company - Lord Qianwu.

Inside the fighting arena, the space rippled like the surface of water, and a group of people appeared silently in the center of the venue.

Chen Yue looked carefully and found that these people, without exception, exuded a powerful aura, which was in no way inferior to the Third Army Leader McDaniel.

One of them was a tall giant with an aura like an emperor. Just by standing there, people were afraid to look up at him.

In this magnificent fighting arena, dozens of strong men bowed together, including McDaniel, who respectfully saluted the giant man who was as tall as a mountain, and said in unison: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

This action swept across the entire fighting arena like a wave, and in the solemn atmosphere, time seemed to have stood still. At this solemn moment, Chen Yue couldn't help but feel deeply shaken.

The students around were whispering, their voices like the sound of wind, interweaving and echoing in the hall.

"Lord Qianwu!" someone exclaimed in a low voice, his tone full of reverence.

"He is the ruler of Qianwu Universe!"

"I heard that he has tens of thousands of immortal warriors under his command..."

"Stop talking nonsense. How can there be so many immortals in the universe? How can a country like Qianwu Universe have tens of thousands of immortals?"

"That's right. If they were really that powerful, they would have ruled the entire universe long ago. Why would they allow forces like the Virtual Universe Company to develop within their borders?"

"You may not know this, but I have heard the inside story. Those forces have a cooperative relationship with the Qianwu Universe. The leader of the Qianwu Universe is a well-known figure in the entire universe."

Chen Yue had a keen sense of hearing and caught these noisy whispers.

"Hehe..." A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: These discussions are nothing but rumors.

In the entire fighting arena, apart from the dozens of immortal warriors, he is probably the only one who understands the true secret.

However, Chen Yue suddenly realized one thing. Among the immortal powerful men, he seemed different and out of place.

really……

"What are you laughing at?" a voice came.

It was the King of Qianwu, who was looking at him curiously.

Chen Yue thought to himself that something was wrong.

Barbie is cute, I was careless...

How can I explain this!
Laughing at you for being nothing more than a puppet of the Virtual Universe Company?
It doesn't seem to be appropriate...

Just when Chen Yue was worried, a voice sounded like the sound of nature. "The Lord of Qianwu is here in person, students, why don't you quickly pay your respects!"

It turned out that it was McDaniel who helped him out. He saw Chen Yue's embarrassment and hurriedly reminded him loudly. Although he was talking to other students, his eyes repeatedly signaled Chen Yue.

At this time, Chen Yue also reacted. He followed suit and prepared to bow and salute, trying to get away with it.

Actually, it’s not Chen Yue’s fault.

The King of Qianwu is a cosmic master. It is his first time to see such a high-level figure in the universe, so it is inevitable that he is a little dazed.

In addition, he knew about the several appearances of Lord Qianwu from the original book, and he was always in awe, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times just now and even forgot to salute.

He remembered the original novel, when the Lord of Qianwu first appeared, he had over 10,000 immortal warriors under his command. Chen Yue, who did not know the subsequent plot, once regarded the Lord of Qianwu as his idol.

However, when Chen Yue later learned that he was the "first loser in the universe", the King of Qianwu, he was really shocked.

This strong contrast left a deep impression on Chen Yue.

……

"No need." King Qianwu seemed to be preoccupied. He did not pursue the matter further, nor did he care about the attitudes of other students.

For a strong man like him, it really made no difference whether those students worshipped him or not. He just waved his hand casually, signaling everyone present, including dozens of immortal strong men, to stand up. His relaxed movements revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if the whole world was under his control.

"McDaniel, I just heard you guys discussing the emergence of a genius in our Qianwu Universe? Why don't you tell me about it?"

The leader of Qianwu State spoke slowly, his eyes fixed on McDaniel with a smile. Although his voice was soft, it echoed in the fighting field like a huge bell. There was an unintentional majesty in his tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" McDaniel quickly lowered his head slightly and responded respectfully. At the same time, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his thoughts surged like a tide.

"Today is such a day full of surprises! I must change His Majesty's opinion of me..." he said silently in his heart.

"This Chen Yue really knows how to choose the right time. He actually broke through when the king arrived. This really helped me."

McDaniel couldn't help but smile with relief in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his gaze turned to Chen Yue who was standing beside him, with some approval in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered an incredible genius!" McDaniel said excitedly.

"Tell the important point!"

The King of Qianwu Kingdom glanced at Chen Yue but didn't take it too seriously.

He has seen too many geniuses.

He has been looking for geniuses over the years, but there is no other way because he is heavily in debt.

Unfortunately, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, no peerless genius has emerged in the nearly one hundred genius battles held in the Qianwu Universe.

This made the King of Qianwu almost crazy.

"You say you are a genius again! That's how you fooled me last time." King Qianwu thought to himself. If there weren't so many people here, he would have scolded McDaniel severely.

"I hope so." King Qianwu suppressed his dissatisfaction and glared at McDaniel.

"Emm... Your Majesty, this time it's true." McDaniel's old face blushed, and he also understood why King Qianwu said that.

As the only academy in the Qianwu Universe, Qianwu Dojo naturally plays the important role of attracting, training and delivering talents.

But McDaniel is just a military man. He is capable of killing enemies in the battlefield, but it is really difficult for him to discover talents.

Fortunately, Chen Yue was there this time, and he ran right into his arms...

No, it's in the bowl.

……

McDaniel's voice was particularly firm: "Your Majesty, it will definitely not be wrong this time!" His eyes swept across Chen Yue, as if he had gained immense confidence.

"Are you so confident?" A hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of King Qianwu, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Chen Yue, come and let His Majesty see you!" McDaniel turned to Chen Yue, his face full of anticipation.

Chen Yue just stood there in a daze.

He felt as if he were being publicly executed.

You're already standing here, what else can you do?
Just as Chen Yue was hesitating, King Qianwu seemed to see through his hesitation and waved his hand gently.

There was unquestionable majesty in his tone: "Don't move."

At the moment when these four simple words fell, Chen Yue felt an invisible force enveloping him like a veil, as if a pair of all-seeing eyes were observing the depths of his soul.

"Will he be able to tell that I'm a time traveler?" Chen Yue's heart started to ring with alarm bells, and his heartbeat quickened.

However, the King of Qianwu suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter echoed in the hall like thunder.

"Hahaha! Okay! Okay!"

His laughter was so deep and loud that it seemed to make the very air in the hall tremble slightly.

"Chen Yue, right? Are you willing to take me as your master?"
