This news swept through the entire Genius Battle Group within just half a day, causing a storm.
The students were excited beyond measure. Luo was not just a single person’s idol, but a great hero in the hearts of the people worldwide!
Luo’s achievements were deeply known, known by everyone. The reason humanity could achieve today’s status is largely credited to Luo!
The next day, beside the landing point of the base’s warship, hundreds of students were already waiting early for Luo’s arrival.
"So many people!" When Wang Xu hurried over, he found that thousands of students had already gathered at the landing point, with a packed crowd leaving a clear space for the flying battleship to land.
Wang Xu looked at the surging crowd, shook his head, and directly went up to the top floor of a tall building, watching the landing point from afar.
As the time approached, a breaking sound came from afar, and all eyes gathered toward it, full of fervor.
The noisy crowd suddenly became silent, leaving only the heavy sound of breathing in the entire sky.
Wang Xu’s heartbeat gradually accelerated, and as the huge flying battleship slowly approached, he could almost hear his rapid breathing.
The massive flying battleship hovered above the flying battle group but hesitated for a moment and did not land.
The hatch opened, and thousands of eyes were fixed on it.
A man in a white robe slowly stepped out, walking in the air, descending step by step.
With a burly figure, flowing long hair, and a bearded chin, the man in the white robe did not look like a towering giant as legends described, nor a monster with three horns. His appearance was slightly handsome, but his aura was unique.
Powerful, humble, gentle, warm... No words seemed enough to describe him.
"Hello, everyone." The man in the white robe said with a faint smile.
It was as if an atomic bomb was thrown into the plains, and the boiling cheers instantly exploded across the entire venue. Everyone raised their arms, wildly shaking them and shouting.
Wang Xu also clenched his fist in excitement, swinging his arm vigorously.
The world’s number one powerhouse, founder of the Extreme Ancient Hall, savior, the hope of humanity... A man adorned with countless honors, Luo!
As Luo slowly approached step by step, an invisible pressure naturally emanated.
Everyone felt as if the scene before their eyes had suddenly turned from day to night, with the stars sparkling above, as if standing right in the starry sky.
"I come here today, first to explain the doubts of cultivation to all the students, and second, to select three students from among you to become my disciples, whom I will personally mentor," Luo said.
Those words ignited the scene once again.
Becoming the disciple of the world’s number one powerhouse was almost like ascending to the heavens in a single step.
The outstanding students secretly gathered all their strength, striving to become one of Luo’s three direct disciples!
Once chosen by Luo, one’s status would experience a huge leap, directly rising to the top of humanity, being able to stand on equal footing with a God-level existence!
God-level exists above Ultimate Venerable Level, and there are only nine God-level figures in the entire world, with just Extreme Ancient Hall holding five, termed as the "Five Void Envoys."
The Void Envoys directly wield power in the Extreme Ancient Hall, equivalent to standing at the top of the world. To be on equal footing with such beings, the future achievements are unimaginable!
From a distance, Wang Xu heard this, his heart surging, eager to fight for a spot.
"No, I have too many secrets, concerning life and death, I must be cautious to hide them!" Wang Xu thought to himself.
It’s not that Wang Xu didn’t trust Luo, but this matter was of great significance, and Wang Xu couldn’t risk his life as a joke.
The mysterious Chaos Fire, the Ancient Battleship, the Energy Core, any one of these secrets being revealed would mean certain death for him. To ensure safety, Wang Xu could only choose to give up.
Luo’s explanation on cultivation was very detailed, and Wang Xu greatly benefited from it. After the explanation was the confrontation among the battle group students, selecting the most outstanding ones from whom Luo would personally select his direct disciples.
"Huh? How come people from other forces are here too?" Among the crowd, Wang Xu noticed many unfamiliar faces that he’d seen before on the Warship Ruins; he didn’t expect that during this disciple recruitment of Luo, they would all come.
Evidently, these people all wanted to take a chance, hoping to become Luo’s direct disciple and ascend to the heavens in one step.
Wang Xu shook his head and went straight back to his room.
"Celestial Spirit, proceed to the Hunting Ground."
With a command, Wang Xu’s figure suddenly disappeared.
Simultaneously, Luo, who was watching the contest, was moved at heart and glanced toward where Wang Xu was, frowning, "Spatial fluctuation?"
More than three hundred thousand Tier Seven Insect Beasts were all slaughtered by Wang Xu, leaving behind only the continuously breeding Insect Nest, waiting for a new wave of Insect Beasts to be born.
The gathering and dispersing times of the Energy Core have reached seventy-two times, not far from eighty-one times.
"The Energy Core is so absorbing; with so much energy from the Insect Beasts, it still can’t complete even one gather and disperse." Wang Xu frowned, the Insect Beasts were already slaughtered to extinction, and to kill more, he would have to wait three months for the next wave of Insect Beasts to be born. Three months is too long, Wang Xu couldn’t just sit idly waiting.
Go hunting in the Insect Beast Region? But the noise from slaughtering was too loud, likely to alarm the high-levels of the battle group base.
After thinking it over, Wang Xu finally thought of a place—the Core Insect Area!
The Core Insect Area is where powerful Insect Beasts dwell, and the realm strength of the Insect Beasts appearing in the Core Insect Area is above Tier Eight, even with Ultimate Venerable Level Insect Beasts.
The typical Venerable, unless necessary, will absolutely not go to the Core Insect Area, as it is an extremely dangerous black area for them. Many Venerables have died there, and without enough strength, one dare not even think of the Core Insect Area!
"Celestial Spirit, transport me back."
With that thought, Wang Xu immediately commanded the Celestial Spirit to transport him back to the battle group base, and then he left straight for the First Safe Zone.
The First Safe Zone is the world’s most prosperous Safe Zone, with millions of humans residing there.
The Core Area is within the First Safe Zone, with a level of prosperity that has no equal, from afar Wang Xu could see luxurious and prestigious castle-style villas standing tall, and the passing hovercars are extremely expensive big brands, with no shortage of flying battleships either.
"Eldest Hei, we just received news that one of the three targets, Wang Xu, has left the battle group base and is heading towards our Core Area," Black Cloud Country hurriedly pushed open the door and said.
"Oh? That kid has left the battle group base?" Hei Xi opened his eyes, revealing a trace of murderous intent, "Of the three targets, two have already been dealt with, no evidence of them being the culprits was found, I suspect the biggest suspect is this kid."
"Eldest Hei, are you going to deal with him now?" Black Cloud Country hurriedly asked.
"No rush." Hei Xi cruelly smiled, "I’ve recently had a new insight, the realm of Liquefaction has advanced a bit, let him live a few more days."
"Yes." Although Black Cloud Country was anxious, he understood this kind of thing could not be rushed. Last time Hei Xi dealt with those two and found they weren’t the culprits, the families behind them caused a huge commotion, already suspecting the Hei Family. Doing it openly now might get discovered.
"Let him live a few more days." Black Cloud Country thought to himself.
Wang Xu, unaware of this, piloted a flying battleship to the First Safe Zone, successfully obtaining intelligence about the Core Insect Area, and began moving swiftly.
