Swallowed Star: The Original Secret Realm

Chapter 16: Did the Venerable make a mistake?

"Zhang Yi, you are really good at hiding your emotions. It's fine if you don't explode, but once you explode, you scare us all." The burly Hamiltonston sat beside him and stared at him with wide eyes. He was naturally generous and did not restrain his temperament because of the change in Zhang Yi's status.

"Then you should also burst out once and surpass me." Zhang Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw how straightforward he was.

"If it explodes, it explodes. I will surpass you next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, he came to his senses and thought about what a monstrous existence the person in front of him was. He immediately shook his head with a bitter face and said helplessly: "You guy, how can I surpass you? The tenth level! That's the tenth level, the tenth level. I am a domain master. If I can break through the tenth level, I will be satisfied."

"I didn't expect that you, Zhang Yi, are so good at teasing people. Why didn't I notice it before?" Janna with blue hair interrupted and laughed.

The others looked at the three of them chatting in a harmonious atmosphere, and Zhang Yi didn't put on airs at all, and they couldn't help but feel envious.

This is the disciple of the Lord of Chaos City. Although he is only a 'nominal disciple' now, Zhang Yi's current status is comparable to the most ordinary immortal king, and a 'nominal disciple' may very likely become a 'personal disciple', which makes him a real big shot.

Being able to establish a relationship with future big figures at the cosmic level is something many people envy.

In the future, if Zhang Yi can really grow into one of the strongest people in the human race, even a little bit of the money that flows out from between his fingernails will be enough for them to enjoy for the rest of their lives.

But when they saw Yu Chen and Berry hiding in the distance and not communicating with anyone, they couldn't help but feel better.

Although they didn't have much personal connection with Zhang Yi, they were all from the same class, so it would be a great honor to tell others about it later.

These two guys are really pitiful. Fortunately, Zhang Yi is magnanimous and respects his status so he doesn't bother with them, otherwise they would have a hard time in the Taichu Secret Realm.

Yuchen and Bailey were in the corner, and they could naturally feel the gazes of others, which contained ridicule, mockery, pity, and sympathy.

Both of them felt mixed emotions.

When Zhang Yi first arrived, Berry wanted to go over and say hello, but he lowered his head and was forcibly stopped by Yu Chen.

He was afraid that Berry's reckless character would further exacerbate the misunderstanding between them.

To be honest, there is no deep hatred between them. At least it is just a comparison between geniuses, but this comparison is tacitly approved by the top management of the Virtual Universe Company.

Since that’s the case, it’s better to hide. Zhang Yi can’t do anything to them.

Zhang Yi glanced at Minston and Janna chatting with each other, and couldn't help but feel a little amused. He could feel what other people were thinking.

In fact, if other geniuses take the initiative to talk to him, he will still be enthusiastic.

As a genius of the same class, even though his current strength and status are indeed above them, he is a modern person with modern thinking, and does not have the idea of ​​respecting the strong that is deeply rooted in his bones.

Including Yu Chen and Berry, their actions just now naturally did not escape his notice. Zhang Yi never took their previous words to heart, because he had long known that he and they were no longer from the same world.

His goal is to become the most powerful genius in the human race. He may meet many people like Yu Chenbei along the way. He will use his absolutely invincible strength to shut them up.

After all, Devouring the Starry Sky is still a world where the strong are respected.

Wow!
The Nine Swords Master, wearing a cyan battle robe and a face covered in scales, appeared in the hall, followed by a group of immortal gods led by the Longyu King. An invisible pressure filled the hall.

The Nine Swords Master looked around at the group of talented young people, feeling quite satisfied, and then restrained his majesty.

"The thirty years of fundamental training in Chaos City have concluded," the Nine Swords Venerable said. "These thirty years were spent laying the foundation. Overall, I'm very satisfied with your achievements over the past thirty years, especially Minston. During the Genius Competition, he was only ninth, not even beginning to understand the Law of Space. Yet, in just thirty years, he surpassed the fifth level of Tongtian Bridge. In the recent Thousand Years of Genius Competition, only a dozen or so people have surpassed the fifth level. He's truly exceptional."

"Minston, keep practicing hard and comprehend the laws. I'm looking forward to the day when you enter the original secret realm." The Nine Swords Master continued.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Minston with envy. Being praised in person by the Venerable meant that he was very optimistic about his future.

When he enters the original secret realm again, he will probably soar into the sky.

"Yes, Your Excellency, I will definitely work harder and strive to enter the original secret realm in the next qualifying match." Minston was stunned for a moment, then quickly spoke respectfully.

"Yeah." The Nine Swords Master nodded slightly, then his eyes fell on Zhang Yi next to Minston and smiled at him.

"Of course, the best of your class is definitely Zhang Yi. During his time in Primal Chaos City, he directly broke through the tenth floor and was even accepted as a registered disciple by the City Lord of Chaos." The Nine Swords Master boomed, "This is definitely the most incredible level of law comprehension among our human race. It's a record-breaking achievement. At least in the hundreds of thousands of epochs since my rise, he is definitely the most powerful."

In the hall, Zhang Yi was about to express his gratitude, but before he could say anything, the Nine Swords Master stretched out his hand and gestured for him not to speak.

"When I first sent you to Chaos City, it was here that I said you were the weakest class of geniuses. I even underestimated Zhang Yi." The Nine Swords Venerable continued, "Even the Venerable can make mistakes sometimes."

The words fell.

There was silence.

No one expected that the high and mighty Nine Swords Master would take the initiative to admit that he had problems with his vision?
Then the talented young people present understood that the Nine Swords Master was trying to show goodwill to Zhang Yi in disguise. Otherwise, how could such a dignified Master say such words to them, who were at the cosmic level.

After all, with their current talents, except for Minston, they have the potential to become immortal kings at most.

Queen Longyu, who was standing behind Venerable Jiujian, was slightly thoughtful. She had followed the Venerable for a long time and was quite familiar with his way of doing things.

Being a "nominal disciple" alone is not enough for Venerable Nine Swords to lower his status to show his goodwill. The Venerable may have more important considerations.

"Your Excellency, you are too kind. You were just disappointed with us at the beginning, and it was a spur to us." Zhang Yi came to his senses and responded quickly.

The Nine Swords Venerable at this moment was different from what Zhang Yi had in mind, but no matter what the reason, the dignified Universe Venerable had shown him such goodwill, so he still had to show due respect.

After all, he is still just a peerless genius, not a peerless strong man.

Seeing Zhang Yi's respectful words, Venerable Nine Swords felt quite satisfied and comfortable. As a Venerable, he could say these words, which was enough to show his attitude.

If Zhang Yi were to continue to work with some rapidly rising geniuses and lose his respect for the strong, with such beliefs and will, such a person would probably not go far.
