Chapter 236 Apprentice, why don't you become a disciple?
"This man is wicked!" Thor said calmly.
Tu Man looked over when he heard Lei Shen say that, and Luo Feng asked slightly, "How did you know?"
Thor returned to his usual cheerful demeanor: "Third son, the first level of mental cultivation is enlightenment. Once you achieve perfection, you will naturally be able to sense the hearts of others."
"This Moro seems warm and cheerful on the surface, like an innocent young man, but his heart isn't as sunny as his appearance suggests—"
"Alright, you can know a person's face but not their heart!" Luo Feng sighed slightly, then asked, "Is there such an ability as improving one's state of mind?"
Thor laughed and said, "Originally, it didn't exist. It was only after your teacher invented the mental cultivation method that we all gained mental power and the ability to sense the hearts of others."
"Actually, my older brother and I were originally able to sense other people's inner thoughts through our interactions, but this intuition has now become a tangible skill."
Tu Man interjected, "Is it really that amazing? Does that mean no one can fool you anymore?"
Thor nodded slightly: "You could say that. Of course, it's also because Moro's mind is unstable and his fluctuations are too obvious. If it were some old foxes, whose minds are as steady as old dogs, it would be more difficult to sense them. Of course, if your state of mind can reach the third level, then the minds of most people in this world will not be able to hide from you!"
"Mental state, mental state, it's been two hundred years, and I feel like I can't even touch the shadow of the first level—" Tu Man's face showed a trace of pain. "I have worked very hard over the years, and it has even affected my understanding of the laws, but I just can't feel the so-called mental power. It's too ethereal."
"I've done everything I could."
Thor glanced at Tu Man and said, "What's the rush? Didn't Teacher Zhou say that Earthlings have an innate advantage in cultivating their mental state? But even so, only the four of us—me, my eldest brother, Sanzi, and Teacher Zhou—have achieved success in cultivating our mental state."
"There's no easy way to change your state of mind. Just do what you're supposed to do, and then wait. Maybe one day you'll touch your soul and feel the power of your heart."
"Sigh, that's all we can do." Tu Man has always been a very ambitious person, especially after becoming Zhou Ze's apprentice, defeating Bo Lan, and joining the Virtual Universe Company.
However, he felt genuinely helpless and discouraged about mental cultivation methods, which were so ethereal and elusive.
If it weren't for his trust in Zhou Ze, and the presence of Thor and Luo Feng by his side, he would have seriously doubted whether this mental cultivation method was genuine.
"Effort never guarantees success, but it does bring experience. Keep it up, young man!" Thor held his middle and index fingers together in front of his eyebrows, coolly pointing at Tu Man.
Time marches on, and battles rage on!
The internal qualification battle within the Virtual Universe Company is actually a form of internal resource allocation. Everyone rushes into the Primal Realm because the resources obtained by members of the Primal Realm are astonishing.
It is far superior to the Primordial Secret Realm.
This qualifying battle undoubtedly cast a shadow over all the veterans. There was no way around it; the newcomers in this year's Genius Battle were simply too outrageous.
Especially the three from the Primordial Secret Realm, who forced all three elders of the Primordial Secret Realm to advance to the level of Domain Lord. Keep in mind that those three elders had been in the Primordial Secret Realm for at least a thousand years, yet they surrendered before even having a match. This shows just how terrifying the pressure from the three newcomers from the Primordial Secret Realm was.
"Even if I can't beat those three, I should at least be qualified to challenge them!" the werewolf Crove thought resentfully.
He had spent so many years at the Cosmic Level just to break into the Primal Secret Realm, but now he could only pin his hopes on the fact that the three newcomers in the Primal Secret Realm wouldn't stay at the Cosmic Level for long. This gave him a strong sense of humiliation, but he was helpless.
There was no way around it; of the three newcomers from the Primal Secret Realm, two were on the ninth level of the Sky Bridge, and the other had even made it past the tenth level!
The difference between each level of the Sky Bridge is earth-shattering; even within the same level, there can be a qualitative difference—the difference is too great.
Even someone as proud as Krov found it difficult to even think about catching up.
It should be noted that of the ten original secret realm lords, only nine have passed the tenth level and one has passed the eleventh level, and each of them has lived for tens of thousands of years.
Croft calmed himself down, summoned a virtual screen, and matched with the next opponent. A name immediately appeared on the screen—Apprentice!
"He's just an apprentice!"
Krov's eyes widened, and he trembled involuntarily, feeling both nervous and excited.
"I'd like to see just how big the gap is between me and the disciple of the 'Holy Master'!"
"The gap is too big, it's too frustrating—"
In a manor in the Primordial District, the werewolf Croft lay helplessly on the ground, his eyes empty and lifeless.
From childhood to adulthood, aside from facing beings of far higher level than himself and virtual opponents, this was the first time he had been instantly killed by someone of the same level.
"How exactly did he cultivate? And how did the 'Holy Master' manage to guide so many disciples who are practically monstrous geniuses!"
The werewolf Croft looked utterly bewildered, even questioning the meaning of life itself!
He was certain that this apprentice possessed the strength to reach the ninth level, or even surpass it, and he wondered why he didn't try to cross the Heavenly Bridge.
"Sigh, no, I can't let myself be discouraged. Even if I'm not as good as them, I have to be better than everyone else." Krov gritted his teeth.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the top three are Zhou Ze, Clark, and Berlan.
Zhou Ze won all 36 of his matches, Berlan lost only one game, which was against Zhou Ze, while Clark lost to both Zhou Ze and Berlan.
An outdoor dining table in Uka.
Ai Chen's eyes lit up as he stared at Zhou Ze and exclaimed, "Apprentice, you're amazing!"
"Speaking of which, since you left Chaos City, you haven't crossed the Bridge to Heaven again. Tell me honestly, which level are you confident you can pass now?"
As Uka ate, he sighed, "Even Berlan was defeated so easily. I reckon the apprentice, even if he hasn't made it past the 9th level yet, will be close."
Bolan was not present at the scene. After his match with Zhou Ze, Bolan went back to cultivate. The more talented a person is, the more they tend to seize every opportunity to improve themselves. He had gained some insights from his match with Zhou Ze.
"More or less," Zhou Ze smiled.
Qian Shui asked softly, "Apprentice, why don't you care about crossing the Heavenly Bridge? You get points for each level you clear..."
Zhou Ze looked over, and the latter shrank back, somewhat embarrassed.
This girl is actually quite cute.
"Because I don't lack points, and I don't need to go to the Sky Bridge to prove myself," Zhou Ze said with a slight smile.
"Okay." Qian Shui was somewhat confused.
"Damn it, apprentice, how many points did you earn to say something like that? Tell me the truth!" Uka immediately started grumbling.
Everyone knows how important and scarce points are, yet Zhou Ze actually said such a thing. What's the difference between this and me not liking money and not being interested in it?
"It's enough for me," Zhou Ze said with a smile. "I just don't want to compare myself to others; that would throw me off balance. I prefer to improve myself at my own pace."
Those present nodded in agreement; the reason made a lot of sense.
Uka laughed, "I'm different. The stronger the opponent, the more motivated I feel!"
Long Yun asked curiously, "Apprentice, why haven't you taken on a master? It seems like you're the only one among us who hasn't?"
Long Yun's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, including Clark.
