Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 234 The Cosmic-Level Qualification Battle Begins

Chapter 234 The Cosmic-Level Qualification Battle Begins

"What are Teacher Zhou's requirements for accepting apprentices?" Zhou Ze muttered, feeling a little strange.

Over the years, he has not really cared much about taking on disciples, because his reputation in the universe is too high. Anyone who is fortunate enough to be guided by him takes it as the most important thing from the bottom of their heart, and they almost always follow his guidance.

The biggest difference between a disciple and a non-disciple is not how much their comprehension is increased, but that if someone is a disciple, they can gain all of their disciple's cultivation insights, while if someone is not a disciple, they can only gain insights from the content they are taught.

With his current understanding and foundation of the laws, let alone Aichen Wuka, even if Bolan became his disciple, it wouldn't be of much use to him.

He naturally didn't pay much attention to it.

Moreover, as he said, the most important thing for him to teach his disciples now is to introduce them to the methods of cultivating mental state.

"Yes." Ai Chen blinked her beautiful, star-like eyes, eagerly awaiting Zhou Ze's reply.

"Indeed, there is. Master Zhou has a secret technique. Only those who can master that exclusive technique are qualified to become his disciples," Zhou Ze said with a slight smile.

"What secret technique?"

"A secret technique?"

"I haven't heard of it after all this time?"

Everyone in the Primordial Secret Realm, including Bolan, except for Zhou Ze and Clark, took it very seriously.

"Clark, why have you never mentioned this before? You even said you didn't know—." Uka, standing next to Clark, looked resentful.

Clark scratched his head, slightly embarrassed, and spread his hands: "Because I haven't even entered the realm yet. Among us fellow disciples, only Senior Brother Luo Feng has entered the realm and reached the first level of mental cultivation. None of the others have even entered the realm."

"Uh, okay—" Uka paused, "State of mind, what is that? Is it temperament?"

Berlan and the others perked up their ears.

Clark thought for a moment, glanced at Zhou Ze, and hesitated, "I don't really know either. After all, I haven't even started. You can ask the apprentice; he's more familiar with the teacher, so he should know something—"

Clark passed the ball to Zhou Ze.

Everyone else looked at Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze explained briefly: "You can understand this concept of mindset as related to one's character. This is a secret method for cultivating one's character."

The specific secret methods for cultivating one's character; can one deliberately cultivate one's character?

Bolan, Uka, Aichen, and the others were all confused.

Isn't temperament generally about being able to endure loneliness, remain calm, and settle down? Can this be specifically improved?

What effect will the upgrade have? Well, it's useful for monitoring your state, but that's about it; it doesn't seem to have any substantial effect.

"Since you all know Teacher Zhou's surname and are cultivating under Teacher Zhou, it means you are qualified to learn the mental cultivation method. You'll know when the time comes," Zhou Ze said with a slight smile.

Uka exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, I will definitely learn the method of cultivating one's state of mind!"

"Methods of Cultivating Mental State"

Berlan and the others remained silent, but were deeply concerned. Suddenly, Berlan seemed to remember something and immediately asked:

"Apprentice, is Thor's unique soul attack technique a form of mental cultivation?"

"This Berlan reacted quite quickly," Zhou Ze smiled. "Yes, that's a secret technique that requires at least the second level of mental cultivation to master. It's incredibly difficult. Even Luo Feng has been stuck at the first level for a long time."

Uka asked repeatedly, "Thor, is that guy very skilled in cultivating his mental state?"

Zhou Ze nodded and smiled, "It is said that he has already reached the highest level, and his future is limitless."

"The special attacks he unleashes with that kind of mindset are so powerful that even if you consider yourself to have a strong will, you will still be affected by the impact."

Uka and the others turned to look at Berlan, who was the most qualified to speak among them.

"Berlan, you're the only one who's experienced it. What does that special attack feel like? It shouldn't be a regular soul attack, right?" Uka asked the question that had been on everyone's mind.

Berlan said in a deep voice, "I've always felt something was off. I used to think that kind of soul attack from Thor was a special soul technique, but now that the apprentice has said this, I do realize that it's different."

"That wasn't a simple soul technique at all. I can't really explain it, but anyway, it felt like all soul defenses were rendered ineffective."

Clark added, "This is just a small part of the application of mental cultivation techniques. There are many other aspects as well. It is said to have effects on physical exertion, mental amplification, and even various other aspects."

Qian Shui asked in surprise and doubt, "What kind of secret technique is this mental cultivation method that can enhance all aspects?"

Qian Shui, who comes from the mysterious planet "August", had never heard of the secret method that Clark mentioned.

Clark thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. You should ask the apprentice; he should know."

If he couldn't answer, he would pass the question to the teacher, and he could also find out the appropriate level of information to reveal. He didn't want to be blamed by the teacher for revealing too much.

Faced with everyone's doubts, Zhou Ze calmly said, "You can think of it as a kind of auxiliary secret technique."

Secret techniques can be broadly divided into two categories: combat techniques and support techniques. All other subcategories are basically divided into these two categories.

Original area.

Luo Feng, Lei Shen, and Tu Man stayed together, waiting for the qualifying battle to begin.

Thor said dejectedly, "What was Teacher Zhou thinking? He's a dignified Immortal King, and he actually came to fight us in a qualifying battle?"

Tu Man was equally frustrated: "Yeah, why would a teacher stay in a company and be a nobody instead of making a name for themselves on the battlefields beyond the borders?"

Luo Feng understands this feeling very well: "Just thinking about having to fight against Teacher Zhou later makes my scalp tingle."

"What the hell? We're just a tiny cosmic-level being, how dare we challenge a King-level Immortal?" Thor was on the verge of tears, but the next second he composed himself and laughed:

"Sanzi, what are you pretending for? I remember you used to think about surpassing Teacher Zhou every day, and you were always thinking about competing with Teacher Zhou."

Luo Feng said awkwardly, "A hero doesn't dwell on past glories." During their casual conversation, about half an hour later, a rumbling sound rang out in various core areas.

"The Primordial Zone's Universe-Level Qualifying Battle is about to begin! Assemble, all personnel!"

All 30 elders and the seven newcomers, including Zhou Ze, looked up. The voice came from above the Primordial Beginning District. They could see the figure in purple uniform in the sky with their naked eyes. Immediately, all 37 universe-level members of the Primordial Beginning Secret Realm soared into the sky and flew to the purple-clad figure in the sky one after another.

"Look, that's Krov, the strongest of the 30 old men!"

"Pharmacist Fool!"

In mid-air, a group of geniuses observed each other's opponents, for they would soon be truly facing off!

When Zhou Ze and the other seven newcomers flew over together, they all immediately stood at attention and paid their respects.
