A three-minute wait.
The peak space arena where Zhou Ze was located was already surrounded by a large crowd. Even open battles between realm masters would hardly achieve this level of treatment.
There might be battles between super geniuses who have crossed the threshold of the laws, and perhaps such a grand spectacle is possible.
There are thousands of people who came to Heilongshan Island, either in small groups or individually.
Some impatient small groups can often attract dozens or even hundreds of onlookers. Once they are attracted, they are already full of curiosity, and then they are shocked by Zhou Ze's continuous star jumping.
They will more or less contact their relatives and friends, which brings in another group of people.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Ze did not set any thresholds. As long as the number of people has not reached the limit, anyone can come in without paying any fees.
If there's a fee, those who came from Black Dragon Mountain Island will definitely pay to come in, but the martial artists who have always stayed on the Qianwu Continent will hesitate.
After all, the killing fields on the Qianwu Continent are too expensive.
"I got picked! I got picked!" A man with long blue hair in the audience was overjoyed.
"Damn, you got off easy!"
"Damn, I'm so envious and jealous—"
"What a lucky guy."
With an excited heart and trembling hands, the blue-haired man quickly clicked to confirm and was then teleported into the arena.
"Senior—Senior—" The long blue hair almost burst into tears, choking up for a moment.
"Twenty? Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Defying the heavens! Is it really necessary?"
"Are these the actors he hired?"
The group of warriors from the Qianwu Continent who had been drawn to the stands were completely embarrassed. It was just like a die-hard fan in the universe who had been waiting for thousands of years, unable to sleep day and night, finally seeing their idol.
"What do you know?"
"There's no need to pay them any attention. They're a bunch of pathetic wretches who only just learned about the 'Holy Master.' But they're lucky, actually."
"Exactly, they're incredibly lucky to have met the 'Saint Master' so early. They've really struck gold. If they happen to win the lottery later on, they'll definitely be begging the 'Saint Master' to take them on as disciples. I'm really looking forward to that time."
The martial artist from Black Dragon Mountain Island looked disdainful, radiating an air of superiority.
Most of those who had remained on the Qianwu Continent remained calm, their curiosity growing, and they began to inquire. A very few, however, were completely unaware and hot-tempered, mocking them.
"Those who know you would think you're from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire; those who don't would think you're from some low-level, trashy civilization."
"Exactly, why would a true powerhouse come to a peak second-tier space to act like a clown?"
"A bunch of natives, you seem to have a problem with this? If you don't like it, let's have a one-on-one fight! Do you dare? If you lose, get out of the Qianwu Continent!"
In the crowd, a giant ape-man stood up and looked disdainfully at the warriors of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire who had come from the remote and impoverished countryside.
"Nabini—"
This small group from the sacred land of Heilong Mountain all looked in unison at a man not far away, with a braided hairstyle and fierce eyes, resembling a cheetah.
"I didn't want to bother with a piece of trash like you," Nabini said indifferently. "After watching this match, I'll finish you off in three minutes while waiting for the next match!"
Zhou Ze was unaware that the martial artists from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire were currently arguing with the martial artists from the Qianwu Continent over his sake.
He simply dealt with the blue-haired man in front of him patiently.
A few minutes later, after figuring out the blue-haired man's background, he called out, "Alright, stop now."
The blue-haired man, as if a robot had received a command, immediately stopped in his tracks, his face full of respect and anticipation.
"Your idea is good, martial arts and spiritual masters can cultivate together, but you have overlooked the fact that your talent and ability are limited. Don't be bothered by those empty titles."
The blue-haired man's face lit up with excitement, and his eyes shone with anticipation as he said, "I understand, Senior 'Saint Master.' Actually, I've been hesitating. I want to focus on one area, but I'm unwilling to give up. More importantly, I don't know which area is more suitable for me—"
"You might be better suited to being a martial artist. Of course, this is just a suggestion. The specific situation depends on which aspect you prefer," Zhou Ze said calmly.
He never liked making decisions for others, not even his disciples.
"Okay, then I'll focus on martial arts from now on." The blue-haired man nodded seriously, having made up his mind to pursue a career in martial arts.
"Senior, may I ask a question?" After seeing Zhou Ze nod, the blue-haired man mustered his courage and said, "Senior, I feel like I'm about to comprehend the domain, but I always feel like I'm missing something."
Zhou Ze pointed out incisively: "Balance, calm down, and maintain balance—"
Zhou Ze explained things in great detail, without getting tired of it.
Within seconds, the blue-haired man fell into a daze. Zhou Ze waited patiently, and soon a fiery red light appeared on the blue-haired man's body.
Domain established!
"A great start!" Zhou Ze said with a smile.
"Thank you, senior! Thank you, senior!" The blue-haired man immediately knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Zhou Ze nodded slightly: "Why don't you log out of the virtual universe and consolidate your strength first?"
"Yes, 'Holy Master' senior!"
The blue-haired man immediately disappeared from the arena.
The audience was already in an uproar.
"Damn, Lansen really hit the jackpot!"
"He's so clever, he actually asked about things related to the domain directly. If I had drawn that question, I would have asked it too."
"Bullshit, that's because he was just a hair's breadth short. A 'Holy Master' isn't a god; even if you're way off, there's nothing he can do!"
"What do you know? In my heart, the 'Holy Master' is my only faith! I worship the Holy Master every day."
Those who knew the blue-haired man, Lan Sen, were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred. They knew that Lan Sen had completely risen to prominence; he had actually comprehended a domain at the Hengxing level, and was absolutely qualified to join the Black Dragon Mountain Holy Land, or even the Virtual Universe Company, thus reaching the pinnacle of life.
"He was lucky, or maybe the blue-haired guy was just a little unlucky, or maybe he was hiding his domain all along—"
The giant ape-man in the audience, who looked down on the warriors of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, muttered to himself.
"Hey, you big guy over there with all those muscular limbs, what are you standing there for? Hurry up, I'm in a rush!" Nabini said indifferently.
Less than a minute later, Nabini returned to the stands, letting out a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank goodness it wasn't at the Black Dragon Mountain Killing Arena branch."
Otherwise, if I go there, I won't be able to get in.
"Nabini, how are you?" someone who knew him asked.
"You've got some skill. It took me almost a minute, but that's about it," Nabini said dismissively.
"He still has some reason to be arrogant, that's why he's managed to keep you, Nabini, in this position for so long."
"As expected of Nabini!"
Other martial artists from the same Black Dragon Mountain sacred land also praised it.
The giant ape-man's companion, unable to accept it, quickly withdrew from the peak space.
"No problem. Just pay close attention to the 'Holy Master's' guidance. I benefit greatly from it every time, even if he's not guiding me," Nabini said casually.
Why is Zhou Ze so popular? Even Zhou Ze himself probably doesn't know. He already had a good talent for teaching, and even without any special help, his eyesight and teaching ability are improving rapidly.
In a corner of the audience, Tu Man, standing out from the crowd, was lost in thought. After regaining his composure, his eyes revealed...
It revealed a hint of fervor and boundless anticipation.
"The explanation was so detailed. I always thought my field was already perfected, but I didn't expect to gain new insights." Tu Man took a deep breath.
Based on this alone, he felt that the title of "Holy Teacher" was well-deserved!
Tu Man glanced at the crowd around him, thinking to himself, "No wonder they're so enthusiastic—"
"It's a pity I'm not from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, otherwise I might very well have been chosen!"
There was even a fleeting thought that Tu Man wanted to change his nationality, but he couldn't, because if he did, his father's killer would definitely find out about him.
Three minutes passed quickly. Zhou Ze brought up the interface, opened the challenge space, and started random matching from all those who had challenged him.
Aside from the Savage, he still had the upper hand over all other martial artists of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom at the Hengxing level and below, while the Savage had already been blocked by him.
This guy is someone we can't afford to mess with right now; we'll need some time before we can figure him out.
The matching results are given instantly.
Pushkin
"I was actually matched with a minor character." Zhou Ze's expression changed slightly, and he clicked to confirm.
The next moment, a giant ape-man, as tall as a two-story building, appeared in the arena.
"Pushkin! It's Pushkin! He was chosen!"
"It's Pushkin, a super genius nurtured by the royal family of the Qianwu Secret Realm. It's said he has the ability to break into the top 1000 of the Universe Kingdom in this Genius Battle!"
"I know someone from the Dry Witch Secret Realm who seems to have a connection with Pushkin. I'll have my friend ask him how he felt after this is over."
"It is said that Pushkin had an immortal as his teacher in the secret realm of the Dry Witch. I don't think the 'Holy Master' has any qualifications to guide him. Pushkin's appearance made some martial artists who knew him talk about it with their friends."
On the field.
"Senior 'Saint Master'—" Pushkin bowed slightly with his massive body.
The ape-men were naturally irritable and fond of fighting, while Pushkin appeared quite polite, creating a strong contrast.
Zhou Ze could see the hidden rage in his eyes, but this was already quite good; he had begun to subdue the rage within and turn it into his own.
The genius ranked ninth in the world in the Genius Battle is quite something.
"Well, come on, let me see the genius of the Qianwu Continent!" Zhou Ze nodded slightly and smiled.
"good!"
Once the battle began, Pushkin completely transformed into a berserk giant ape, his entire body radiating a frenzied and tyrannical aura.
Wearing a Force suit, he was tall and imposing, like a war god. His fists, bigger than iron hammers, were covered with ferocious gauntlets. A yellowish-brown aura surrounded him. He took a step in front of Zhou Ze and threw a punch.
From the outset, Pushkin unleashed his full power, holding nothing back from the power of his Ninefold Domain.
"Clang~"
Zhou Ze held his left hand behind his back and his right hand gripped a light blue longsword in front of him, blocking Pushkin's fall as if struck by a sharp blade.
When Pushkin saw that his all-out attack had not even been able to force Zhou Ze back, even though he knew that Zhou Ze was very likely a realm lord or even an immortal, he still felt a little anxious.
"Clang clang~"
A sharp, metallic whistling sound accompanied by a series of booms filled the air as Pushkin, like a god of war, swung his fists one after another, sometimes transforming them into claws and fingers—a truly bizarre display!
But Zhou Ze stood still and didn't move at all in the face of his crazy attacks. He simply blocked the attacks from above, below, left, and right.
One side was berserk and chaotic, while the other side casually parried.
This feels really weird, it's like a child challenging an adult!
After a while, Zhou Ze spoke up: "Alright, Pushkin."
Pushkin immediately stopped and bowed respectfully, saying, "I apologize for my intrusion, senior!"
After straightening up, he looked at Zhou Ze with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation.
Zhou Ze's voice wasn't loud, but it carried throughout the entire arena: "Pushkin, you're not bad. Apes are naturally ferocious and restless."
You lack patience, but you've already achieved a basic level of self-control!
"You are indeed very talented in this field. Not only have you reached the ninth level, but your application of the field is also quite good. Keep it up."
He might be able to rival some geniuses who have crossed the threshold of the laws of nature.
"But you clearly have such talent in this field, yet you still can't take that first step?"
Pushkin looked pleased; he had intended to ask this very question, but Zhou Ze had asked it directly.
