Swallowing the Stars: Providing a Loan to Luo Feng Begins

Chapter 61 Hello, Stepping Stone! (1.2 views daily, please subscribe)
King Zhenyan nodded.

The first three images on the Nine Universes Chaos Stele are the most fundamental basis of the laws of space.

If by chance, one might learn something from it, which wouldn't be surprising.

So, he began to explain some key points of the laws of space to Luo Feng using the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele'...

The True King mainly cultivates the 'Law of Earth' and the 'Law of Space'. He can give Luo Feng a lot of guidance on the Law of Space, but on Luo Feng's Law of Metal, he can only give some guidance based on his own accumulation.

Inside the system space, Chen Qi watched Zhenyan Wang's guidance with a smile, thinking to himself, "In terms of strength, Zhenyan Wang is not considered strong among Luo Feng's many teachers."

"But he is the teacher who has the best relationship with Luo Feng in the original storyline. Unlike Hu Yanbo, who is 'offline and AFK', or Chaos City Lord, who cares about the human race, he has relatively little contact with Luo Feng in private."

"Unlike the mountain hermits who simply dump treasures and let their animals roam freely..."

"Great, we've secured another investor. Luo Feng's growth rate will be even faster now." Judging from the current situation, Chen Qi felt that King Zhenyan must really appreciate Luo Feng.

Cultivating myself day by day.

Time slowly came:
September 4th, 2070!
Tomorrow is the day the genius battle will assemble.

Recently, the number of times that Zhenyan Wang has come to provide guidance has been intermittent, but in fragmented moments, he has given Luo Feng a lesson almost every six or seven days.

"Luo Feng's improvement speed is almost twice as fast as before," Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh in the system space.

With the lectures from the True King of Yan, Luo Feng was able to immediately compare his understanding of the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele' with the simplified version, which doubled the effect!
Chen Qi sighed with emotion.

Luo Feng, riding the Dark Cloud Shuttle, flew back. The True King looked at him, also astonished by Luo Feng's talent. He thought to himself:

'Luo Feng has never even studied the Nine Universes Chaos Stele before, yet he has such a profound understanding of the first three diagrams—the foundation of spatial laws—simply through my explanations.'

'Absolutely incredible!'

As for the personality aspect he was assessing, King Zhenyan had already sensed that Luo Feng possessed the heart of a strong person and had an extremely firm will. No matter how harsh the cultivation environment he provided, he would do his best and would never say things like "no" or "cannot do it."

He's simply a born powerhouse.

He had never seen such a determined and talented junior before.

"Luo Feng." King Zhenyan smiled and asked seriously, "Tomorrow is the gathering of geniuses from the Universe Kingdom, when they will truly participate in the competition across the entire universe."

"I want to ask you something."

"With your talent and age, once you win the Genius Battle and enter the Four Great Secret Realms and Chaos City, and truly come into contact with the 'Nine Universes Chaos Stele,' your strength will experience a surge. At that time, you might have even better options, such as becoming a disciple of a Universe Venerable."

"But now I want to ask you something."

"Would you be willing to formally become my disciple, King Zhenyan?"

"Junior Luo Feng is willing to take Senior as his master!" Luo Feng responded decisively. Over the past year, he had truly felt that this 'True Yan King' treated him with great sincerity.

Upon hearing this, King Zhenyan burst into laughter:
"Hahaha, okay, okay."

"I am very happy that my teacher has accepted you as an excellent student today. Usually, I would definitely have a good drink on this occasion."

"But since your genius battle is about to begin, your teacher doesn't want to delay your affairs. Once you enter Chaos City, you must have a good drink with your teacher in the real world!"

"This disciple understands," Luo Feng replied with a smile.

The next day.

December 2070, 9.

Luo Feng appeared on a floating island and, guided by the staff, walked along a path. He was now full of vigor.

Winning the first place in the genius battle is as easy as taking candy from a baby.

"It's Luo Feng!"

"Yes, it's that Luo Feng, the Luo Feng who defeated Jingyue in one move!"

Although they were all one thousand contestants from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, their strengths varied greatly.
Luo Feng looked around and spotted the wild youth that Chen Qi had mentioned.

That is:
'Rong Jun'!
Just then, the two looked at each other.

"Hello, my name is Rong Jun." Rong Jun took the initiative to walk over. He was also very interested in Luo Feng. He was able to defeat Jing Yue in one move. Perhaps his strength was not as good as his own, but he was still a guy worthy of respect.

Luo Feng nodded in response, saying:

"Luo Feng."

The two stood together, with 'Jingyue' watching from a distance. He also wanted to go up and greet Luo Feng, but the battle scenes in the Sixth World District kept replaying in his mind.

After losing.

He repeatedly watched the combat videos, trying to find his own weaknesses so he could improve them, but after watching them again and again, the answer he got was:

Compared to Luo Feng, Jing Yue has no redeeming qualities!

"Boom~"

A terrifying pressure descended, and a god of war appeared, clad in battle robes and bathed in a bloody aura of slaughter. He had a massive body several meters tall and walked step by step.

“My name is Thirteen. You can call me Lord Thirteen. I will lead this thousand-strong team from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom!”

The Thirteenth Prince's gaze swept over everyone present.

And finally said:

"Your class is really bad!"

"Apart from Luo Feng, I'm afraid no one else can make it into the top 1,000."

In this timeline, Rong Jun did not encounter Luo Feng, nor was he forced to use sufficient means, so he did not have anyone that Thirteen could take a liking to.

As for why Luo Feng was able to...

Thirteen didn't know either, but the Qianwu Kingdom Lord said that among this year's contestants, only Luo Feng was good and had a chance to compete for a higher ranking.

but
Those present were all geniuses, but after hearing these words, few were convinced, as they did not understand Luo Feng's strength.

"I don't care if you're convinced or not, Luo Feng, I hope you can make it into the top ten. As for the rest, I just hope that at least one of you can make it into the top one thousand. Just don't disgrace our king." The Scaled Giant Thirteen said coldly, but just as he was about to give a reprimand,

A voice suddenly rang out:
"I disagree with what you said." A calm but domineering voice came from behind, and the owner of the voice walked towards them step by step.

Thirteen frowned, looked up, and was stunned. He softened his tone and said, "True Prince Yan? What brings you here?"

"I've come to see my disciple win first place in the Genius Battle," King Zhenyan said calmly, glancing at Thirteen.

He doesn't need to be too humble.

Throughout the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, apart from the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, everyone else has to give face to King Zhenyan!
"Your disciple? Who is he?" Thirteen looked at the thousand star-level geniuses and didn't think any of them looked like the true king's disciple.

King Zhenyan ignored Thirteen and walked up to Luo Feng, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't listen to him. He's ignorant and can't see your level, which is why he said such shallow things. Don't mention Tenth, Tenth sounds too awful."

"Win first place for the teacher, and show that guy how bad his judgment is!"

"Yes, teacher." Luo Feng nodded in response. He hadn't expected that Teacher Zhenyan would come to watch his competition in person.

You should know that the Trial Tower competition can last for more than a year at most!
Thirteen's gaze fell on Luo Feng, filled with doubt. He had read the brief information on the thousand people and knew that Luo Feng had killed 'Jingyue' with a single blow. He had also learned more from the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said, "Luo Feng is probably one of the top talents among the 1008 Universe Kingdoms."

but.
To become the disciple of the True King?

Thirteen knew that among the disciples of the True King of Yan, there was even one who had been granted the title of "Immortal King". His own realm was also incredibly close to that of a Universe Venerable, and his combat power was at the level of an invincible King.

Compared to this, Luo Feng is not quite qualified now.

next moment.

Thirteen received a message from the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom, saying that the True King Yan would be in their group to watch the battle together.
The team began teleporting.

The entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom was set up in Building '0825', with one team from the Universe Kingdom in each building.

"It's from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."

Are there any famous geniuses in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom?

"I haven't heard of it, so there probably isn't one."

"All I know is that the Pengu Universe Kingdom has a 'Phantom Demon' named Galesi, and the Noah Universe Kingdom has a 'Grim Reaper' named Berlan!"

As the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's entourage passed by, Luo Feng heard the name Bo Lan, and his fighting spirit surged instantly. He was all too familiar with that name.

many years ago.

Chen Qi then mentioned this name to him.

Are we finally going to meet?
"Huh? Who's that? Why are there two powerful figures leading the team from the Qianwu Universe Kingdom?"

Someone noticed the existence of the True King.

even
Those with powerful connections recognized the true King Yan and immediately said:

"That's the true King Yan!"

"An existence second only to the ruler of a cosmic kingdom!"

Luo Feng was in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom's team when the Scaled Giant Thirteen handed out the room number plates.

What was given to Luo Feng was:

'1'!
Thirteen and King Zhenyan left soon after.

After receiving their number tags, everyone returned to their rooms or headed to the plaza to inquire about other geniuses.

Luo Feng also walked towards the square. He wanted to see what kind of opponents he would face this year, especially Bo Lan, whom he was very interested in. For a long time, his goal in his cultivation had been to defeat Bo Lan and win first place in the Genius Battle!

"Is it that Luo Feng?"

Rong Jun happened to run into Luo Feng, and he was also very curious about Luo Feng.

Based on the comparison with Thirteen, Rong Jun knew that Zhen Yanwang must be a super strong person. He was very curious about what made Luo Feng so special that he was able to become his disciple.

'Perhaps I underestimated him before. He hasn't fought enough in the world zone, and no one has forced him to use his full strength. It seems that Luo Feng may still be hiding a lot of power.'

However, the true winner and loser, the one who is number one, will have to be determined in a fair and square battle!

Rong Jun jogged after him, calling out:

"Luo Feng, want to come along?"

"Row."

Luo Feng turned around and saw Rong Jun.

We arrived at:

central square.

The moment Luo Feng and Rong Jun entered the square, the square fell silent. Luo Feng looked around and saw a young man in white in the distance.

His gaze was icy as he looked at all the geniuses around him.

It was as if they were scrutinizing him.

"Death 'Berlan'!"
"It's him."

"Almost certainly the winner of the Genius Battle!"

"Is he confirmed as the winner of the Genius Battle?" Luo Feng's gaze was calm. After all this time, he had finally seen this name that had always been part of his plan.

He thought to himself:

'Hello.'

'My stepping stone.'
