Chapter 117: Paying Homage to Liu Taibai as Master

  Pay respects to Liu Taibai as teacher

  Rumble...

  In the city of Jia Hai Guan, a massive explosion occurred, destroying countless houses, and even the City Lord's mansion was covered in ice crystals. The entire city of Jia Hai Guan was left without a single survivor, everyone was frozen into fragments, not even the City Lord, a master who had transcended the void, could survive.

  The enraged Ice War lasted for a day, and the entire city of Jia Hai Guan was slaughtered. When he was surrounded by a large number of guards, he knew that he would definitely not be able to capture Zhou Yuan this time. So, he simply vented his anger and killed tens of thousands of civilians.

  Above the city of Jia Hai Guan, a figure in white robes stood tall, his sleeves fluttering in the wind as he gazed sternly towards the north.

  "Kid, although I don't know your name, but your aura, I will never forget it. Don't let me catch you, or else, you'll regret coming to this world!!"

  At this moment, Zhou Yuan is still moving at the fastest speed towards the direction of Fawang City. Along the way, wherever there are guards, Zhou Yuan will use the power of Yin-Yang Mixed Cave to create illusions for his opponents, successfully passing through the checkpoints of one city after another.

  Finally, after three days, Zhou Yuan returned to Fawang City once again.

  Looking at the bustling and extraordinary interior of the Imperial City, with people coming and going, and horse-drawn carriages flowing incessantly, Zhou Yuan had a kind of feeling as if he was in a different world. Three days ago, he was still experiencing life-and-death pursuits, and three days later, he returned to this peaceful and prosperous world.

  Now, waiting for him are two things to do. One is that the master of the yard, Liu Taibai, had said before that as long as he could break through to the Golden Elixir realm, Liu Taibai would formally accept him as a disciple. The other thing, naturally, was to reunite with his own brothers and sisters. Coming and going, it has been several months since they last saw each other, and Zhou Yuan misses them very much.

  He was familiar with the road, and Zhou Yuan quickly returned to the Zhenwu Academy. The guards at the entrance also recognized Zhou Yuan, after all, he was the only young man in the academy who practiced thunder magic, and anyone who was slightly informed would know him.

  Smiling and greeting the guard, Zhou Yuan headed towards the Dean's residence in the depths of Zhenwu Academy.

  Although Zhou Yuan had been away for several months, the disciples of the True Martial Academy had not forgotten him. Along the way, many people cast friendly glances at Zhou Yuan, but there were also those who looked down on him with disdain and jealousy, and some even sneered at him with a mocking tone that seemed to be waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

  Zhou Yuan ignored their gaze, he was a very opinionated person who only liked to do his own thing and never thought much about how others looked at him.

  There is originally nothing in the world, and the mediocre people disturb themselves. People should not have troubles at first, but thinking too much will naturally lead to various kinds of worries. Zhou Yuan was just that kind of person who didn't like to think too much and bring trouble to himself.

  Soon, Zhou Yuan arrived at the gate of the Dean's mansion. The entire college guard had been instructed that as long as it was Zhou Yuan, entering or leaving the Dean's mansion would not be blocked.

  "Master of the house, a disciple has come to pay respects!!!" Zhou Yuan stood outside the master's residence and said respectfully.

  "Zhou Yuan, you're back? It's been several months since we've had any news from you. Come on in, let me take a look at you. Have you been slacking off during this time? Has your cultivation improved?" A loud and clear voice echoed out from within the grand hall of the Manor Lord's estate, with hints of surprise and excitement mixed in.

  Zhou Yuan quickly walked into the courtyard of the Institute Master's residence and saw that it was still the three Institute Masters.

  "I, a junior, dare not be lazy. During this period of time, I have been working hard to cultivate myself, just to reach the standard of Master Yuan. Only in this way can I become Master Yuan's disciple!" Zhou said sincerely.

  Liu Taibai nodded, "Don't worry, what I said to you is naturally counted. As long as your strength reaches my standards, I will definitely accept you as a disciple. Moreover, I will announce this matter in front of the entire college's gatekeeper, and become my disciple. From then on, most of the resources of the Zhenwu College can be used by you."

  At this time, the master of the hospital Liu Taibai, deputy master Ying Ling, and Long Dao Mountain's gaze all fell on Zhou Yuan. They wanted to see how much Zhou Yuan's boundary had improved after not being seen for several months.

  This look, frightened the three of them, at this time, Zhou Yuan's body, a destructive aura, was emitted, majestic and unparalleled, obviously had already entered the realm of killing life, and his body's destructive aura was not like that of a cultivator who had just entered the realm of killing life, but rather like that of a great master who had been immersed in this realm for countless years.

  "It's been a few months since we last met, and you've already broken through to the Killing Intent Realm? This cultivation speed is too fast! You're only 18 years old, and you're already at the Killing Intent Realm. What will happen in a few more years?" Deputy Headmaster Long Dao Mountain's eyes widened in shock. He also had a disciple who was at the Killing Intent Realm, but he was already in his twenties. In the past, his talent would have been considered top-notch, but now, compared to Zhou Yuan, he immediately paled in comparison and lost all his luster as a genius.

  It's almost the same with Ling, comparing his own disciples to Zhou Yuan, he immediately felt that his vision was too low at first. The disciple he personally chose, he still took a treasure, now it seems that it is just an ordinary person. What is called a genius? A figure like Zhou Yuan is called a genius. In two or three months, he suddenly went from the realm of Jishi to the realm of Shashengji, and because of his special cultivation of thunder system techniques, Zhou Yuan was destined to be the strongest existence in each realm.

  Liu Taibai had already laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close, he knew that this time, he had chosen the right person, picking such a genius as his disciple, it seemed that in the future, his own face would be radiant.

  "Good, good, good! Zhou Yuan, you really didn't disappoint me, indeed a genius among geniuses. If your deeds spread throughout the world, I'm afraid all other geniuses will pale in comparison. Those self-proclaimed high-and-mighty geniuses will probably want to find a wall to knock their heads against and die! What I say counts, you've already met my requirements. Now, come and pay homage as your master. From now on, you'll be Liu Taibai's only disciple, and the inheritor of my legacy!!!"

  Zhou Yuan was shocked beyond compare, he had not expected that Liu Taibai would not only accept him as a disciple but also regard him as his own successor, this was simply the greatest honor for himself.

  What is called "clothing and alms transmission"? Clothing and alms transmission refers to the future continuation of all disciples by the master, when the master wants to retire and cultivate quietly, then all his previous status and glory will be handed over to his own clothing and alms transmitter.

  In other words, Liu Taibai's words meant that Zhou Yuan would one day replace him as the head of the institution and become one of the few people standing at the pinnacle of humanity, holding great power.

  Zhou Yuan's heart was stirred beyond measure. Which man wouldn't like power, didn't want to stand at the highest peak, overlooking all living things, and being admired by millions of people?

  "You silly kid, what are you still standing there for? Don't you hurry up and pay your respects to your master?" Long Dao Shan looked at Zhou Yuan's stunned expression and couldn't help but feel extremely amused.

  Zhou Yuan suddenly came back to his senses from the immense happiness, immediately knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed nine times in a row to Liu Bai, "Disciple Zhou Yuan, paying respects to his master!!!"

  "Alright, alright, alright, get up, hurry up!!!" Liu Taibai bent down to personally help Zhou Yuan up, saying three "good"s in a row, showing just how satisfied he was with Zhou Yuan, the successor of his clothes and bowl.

  Liu Taibai's seemingly calm expression hid his inner excitement.

  "Thank heavens, I can receive such a great gift in my final years before retirement. It's been worth it all these years without taking on a single disciple. Now it seems that was the right choice after all! Those two old men, Long Dao Shan and Ying Ling, always laughed at me for not having any disciples, saying that when I'm old, there won't even be anyone to show filial piety. Now let them be frustrated, let them swallow their teeth in anger! Ha! Old man is finally vindicated!!!"

  Long Dao Shan and Ying Ling looked at Liu Tai Bai with the same gaze, seeing his smile like a blooming flower. Without looking, they could guess that Liu Tai Bai was already overjoyed, and they had even guessed that he must be feeling extremely proud in his heart, muttering to himself while facing the two of them.

  After knowing each other for so many years, who doesn't understand who?
