Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Miyazaki Yu smiled and shook his head. This old fox was trying every trick in the book to get his food, but it wasn't difficult at all. Given their friendship, it was just a small favor.

"Mr. Zhang, you're too kind. After I go back, you can just come and stay with me and cook for me. It's just a small favor."

Chapter 703 The Agreement to Accept Apprentices

Wang Mingdao, standing to the side, became increasingly surprised.

It seems the teacher is truly incredibly resourceful, possessing such a deep friendship with this Miyazaki swordsman; it's truly unbelievable.

In the eyes of these Taoist practitioners, worldly power, wealth, and glory could not truly inspire awe in them.

In fact, this is true even in the secular world. Among the seven billion people in the world, religion is the most powerful force that can control people's hearts and minds. And the essence of religion is humanity's belief in an unknown and powerful being!

And this Miyazaki swordsman, in a sense, is already a god!

He is the God of Martial Arts, a powerful figure who can shake the heavens and earth with a mortal body, a powerful figure who has broken all rules and common sense. All martial artists revere him as Christian believers do when they see the coming of Jesus!

So at this moment, seeing the other person in person, and being so close to them, made his heart pound with uncontrollable joy.

After the introductions, Miyazaki Yu nodded to signal the other party to sit down and eat. Wang Mingdao sat down cautiously, as if he were being granted a seat by an emperor, and listened attentively without daring to utter a single word.

Master Zhang nodded slightly in his heart. This disciple was not only highly talented, but his greatest strength was that he followed the rules and never overstepped them.

The reason I can chat and laugh with this person is because we learn from each other and have built a friendship. For someone of his stature, it is extremely difficult to establish a friendship.

This is not because Miyazaki Hayao is arrogant, but because it is an objective fact.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, after he became emperor, all his former good friends were now his subordinates. If he still treated these friends the way he used to treat them, what would have happened?

Even without this example, imagine a childhood friend of yours suddenly rises to prominence, becoming a high-ranking leader, achieving a leap in social class and accumulating wealth.

So when you see this person again, everything will have changed. These things will unconsciously become barriers between you, creating a rift between you.

Therefore, the current situation is the most normal. If the strong do not need to be respected, then what is the point of becoming stronger?

After chatting for a while, Master Zhang gradually steered the conversation back to the main topic.

"Young friend, this old man is truly curious. What exactly did the British royal family do to persuade you to expend your energy to help them?"

A glint flashed in Miyazaki Yu's eyes, but his calm smile remained on his face.

"Old Zhang, this is indeed a crucial question, but I'd like to know whether it's you asking this question, or the force behind you that wants to ask it?"

The smile on Zhang Laodao's face froze slightly, but he quickly understood.

The fact that my own problems are here already reveals a lot of information.

He realized that the person must know about the problems facing the British Royal Family, which is why he came here at this time and assisted the Royal Family in organizing such an event. This was equivalent to using his own reputation to endorse the British Royal Family and reverse the precarious situation of the Royal Family.

Based on his understanding of himself, he knew that the British royal family must have paid a considerable price to bring their former enemy, who had wiped out the Royal Knights, to their territory.

It's worth noting that countries around the world were quite surprised when they heard this news.

Unexpectedly, the British royal family made such a move at this time, which was beyond everyone's imagination.

However, this move was surprisingly effective, and within a short period of time, it restored public morale!

Although this swordsman's involvement in politics has aroused the vigilance of many international assessment agencies, several national think tanks have conducted detailed analyses of Miyazaki Hayao's actions and proposed countermeasures.

However, this also proves the immense influence that Miyazaki Hayao now possesses.

"The old man is just curious. After all, I know that with your temperament, ordinary benefits won't sway you."

Miyazaki Yu smiled inwardly. This old fellow obviously knew something. However, they could never have guessed that what moved him was the source of the sacred bloodline, which had profoundly influenced the course of history.

Moreover, this thing might become an opportunity for me to advance further, so naturally I can't say it out loud.

He just smiled, but didn't answer.

Old Zhang clicked his tongue. This matter clearly involved some secrets, but he was genuinely curious about what it was that could move him so much.

However, since the other party is unwilling to talk, it would be rude to continue asking.

"There's one more thing I'd like to ask for your opinion, young friend."

The old man's expression suddenly turned serious, as if he had made a considerable decision, which surprised Miyazaki Yu slightly.

"What is it?"

After considering his words for a moment, Old Master Zhang said, "During the time I spent communicating with you, young friend, I learned a lot of techniques and secrets from you. These techniques are your own, and I want to pass them on to my disciple. That's why I've come to ask for your opinion."

Miyazaki Yu laughed heartily: "Elder Zhang, although these things are considered tips and tricks for me, they are not particularly important. Moreover, I have also received a lot of Taoist cultivation techniques from Elder Zhang. I have never forgotten these favors."

Now that it has been given away, it naturally belongs to Elder Zhang, and how to dispose of it is naturally up to Elder Zhang.”

Since the rumor has already been spread, it's like spilled water – it's gone forever.

However, Zhang Laodao's smooth and considerate manner naturally made Miyazaki Yu feel very comfortable.

This surprised and delighted Wang Mingdao.

A while ago, the teacher left and didn't come back for a long time. This kind of thing happened often before, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, the teacher became acquainted with Miyazaki Kensei and even learned Miyazaki Kensei's techniques and secrets!

Wasn't the reason I came to participate in this competition to receive guidance from this sword saint?

This is equivalent to receiving the reward in advance, and even ten times the amount of the reward! This is truly wonderful!

Seeing the excitement in the young Taoist's eyes, Miyazaki Yu's heart stirred.

Now I have established a connection with the Dragon Kingdom, but this connection alone is not enough. I might as well offer a huge benefit. Moreover, I need new ways to expand my influence.

"However, I'm willing to learn, but I have one condition: you must be in the top ten of the competition. We'll determine the rankings through matches. If you can become number one, I'll give you the opportunity to become my disciple and learn from me. Are you willing?"

"What? Become your disciple!"

Wang Mingdao simply couldn't believe his ears. This god of martial arts was actually willing to take him under his wing!

The old Taoist priest was also startled.

There are actually only three disciples in this legitimate line of work: besides the great swordsman named Nishikawa Tetsumei, there are only the two little girls. There are no other disciples!

He immediately became excited too!

Chapter 704 Top Ten List (2 Updates!)

"Young friend, are you serious?"

The old Taoist priest also became excited.

In an instant, he realized what becoming this person's disciple truly meant, and he could figure it out clearly!

This is not just a simple matter of accepting a disciple; the impact of this event is far-reaching!

What does the inheritance of a god mean? It means great power, but what has a more profound impact is that this person's legacy will spread throughout the Dragon Kingdom, and the relationship between the two sides will be further upgraded.

He relied solely on the personal relationship he had established with this person, a relationship so delicate it was almost imperceptible. He was already very old, and once he died, this relationship would be severed.

Strengthening this relationship has become extremely important, and may even affect the fate of the Dragon Kingdom!

This is not just needless worry; it is something that deserves our concern.

Under the computational model of the Dragon Kingdom's supercomputer, Miyazaki Yu's growth in strength was crystal clear, a terrifying change.

The saying "Don't underestimate a young person's potential" stems from the fact that young people have unlimited possibilities. You don't know what achievements they will attain or what level of person they will become. Bullying a young person could lead to retaliation.

As for Miyazaki Yu, this young man has no need to worry about being bullied, because he was already a giant warship and a roc that could travel ten thousand miles in his youth!

But that's precisely where the horror lies!

It's like discovering a towering tree, hundreds of meters tall, or a Godzilla weighing hundreds of thousands of tons emerging from the sea; you might think that's the end of terror.

It wasn't until you did some research that you discovered the towering tree was just a sapling of the World Tree; once it truly grew, it would be able to reach directly into outer space.

And that Godzilla, after you realize you can't defeat it, you discover that this monster is actually a cub, still growing, and the mature version is a hundred times more powerful than this one!

This is how all countries view Miyazaki Hayao right now!

Just like before, the reason why the Dragon Kingdom had such a strong sense of crisis was because of this!

Based on this guy's previous strength growth model, and following the normal growth trajectory of a person, his golden period of strength growth has only just begun.

Natural disasters, myths, planetary destruction!

This is how various countries assess his strength, and it is also a prediction!

The Earth can trap any human being, but it cannot trap him. His ability to fly using his physical body has already been known to various countries.

In the computer model, it's only a matter of time before he enters space physically, and once he does, human history will be completely rewritten!

Becoming his disciple means not only having the opportunity to become an unparalleled powerhouse, but also being able to establish a connection with this divine being and become a friendly bridge.

This is precisely why countries accepted Miyazaki Hayao's blatant interference in Britain's internal affairs so calmly, without any complaints, and even provided him with various conveniences.

An official once said, "If I have a dream, it may come true the next day." This is the power of authority.

And now, Miyazaki Yu has unknowingly acquired this power, and even power that surpasses this power!

And no one will have any objections, because he deserves this power!

Seeing the old Taoist priest's agitated and out-of-control appearance, Miyazaki Yu couldn't help but smile. This old guy always acted like a hermit, but it seems he has his moments of losing control. If you take a picture of his expression and show it to his disciples and grand-disciples, it'll be great material for getting yourself killed.

"Old Zhang, of course it's true. I won't go back on my word. However, winning first place is only the first step. To become my disciple, he still needs a test. I'll have him spar with Shiho. If he can withstand Shiho's full-force attack for ten minutes, I'll accept him as my disciple!"

As an extra reminder, this girl has opened up all her meridians, possessing internal strength similar to that of a pre-heavenly immortal, and has also activated her psychic abilities. Her strength is vastly different from before. After all, she's one of my people, so she can't be too weak.

The old Taoist priest, who had been overjoyed, suddenly opened his mouth wide.

This kid doesn't play by the rules. He knows Shiho Miyano's strength; he's practically her mentor.

Wang Mingdao is his prized disciple. He has been training diligently since childhood, and now his strength is far superior to that of the sword masters in Japan.

While Shiho Miyano's previous strength was quite good, the gap in strength between her and Wang Mingdao was enormous.

In other words, this was a sure thing, and it seems that Miyazaki Yu was just going through the motions to take Mingdao as his apprentice.

But now he suddenly says that the girl actually has the internal strength of a Xiantian Zhenren (a high-level cultivator), and with the activation of her mental abilities, wow, her strength has increased more than tenfold!

That little girl has probably suddenly risen to prominence, and her strength is now probably comparable to his. What is Wang Mingdao supposed to do?

Miyazaki Yu looked at the old Taoist's worried face and smiled inwardly. Becoming his disciple was not a simple matter. Things that are easily obtained are not cherished by anyone.
