Chapter 113 The Collapse of Tuman! The Unbelievable Clark!

"#￥%"

Clark and Tuman both uttered their respective hometown catchphrases.

Although Luo Feng and the others couldn't understand it, they could sense that the phrase "relatives" was quite common, as were Clark and Tu Man's. Immediately, the entire scene fell silent.

Just as Luo Feng was about to speak, Zhou Ze said, "Let's go to the rooftop—"

Even though Clark and Tu Man had countless curses running through their minds, they kept their thoughts to themselves and followed Zhou Ze and the others to the rooftop.

On the rooftop, only Zhou Ze, Luo Feng and his two brothers, Luo Hua, and the fellow disciples Clark and Tu Man remained.

The atmosphere remained silent.

Zhou Ze spoke up first, "You two, just ask us whatever questions you have!"

"Teacher, are you really a star level?" Before Tu Man could even speak, Clark couldn't help but ask first.

"I've always said I'm a Star-level being, I've never lied to you!" Zhou Ze raised an eyebrow. "After all, there's no way to hide something like this!"

Clark was stunned, unsure of what to say for a moment.

Silence fell again.

Clark then asked curiously, "So, teacher, when you first met me, were you really only at the second level of the planetary realm?"

Zhou Ze nodded.

"I understand, I understand everything—" Clark exclaimed in surprise.

Tu Man felt uneasy and asked, "But why—"

Now the entire universe knows that their teacher is a mysterious and powerful figure, and many people speculate that their teacher must be an immortal being, extremely powerful even among immortals.

But who would have thought that this mysterious expert was actually a Star-level martial artist participating in the Genius Battle?

this.

Clark was alright, constantly reminiscing about the events of the past few years. The more he recalled, the more he realized that everything was just his and Tu Man's imagination, and Zhou Ze had never lied to them.

Even now that everything has been laid bare, Clark still finds it hard to believe! After all, it was his first time meeting his teacher.

The teacher is really only at the second-level planetary rank.

If the teacher's level is far lower than mine, yet the guidance over the past two or three years is genuine, does the teacher have a "stand-in"?

Clark is really angry right now! His mind is a mess.

As for Tu Man, his brain completely short-circuited and crashed.

"How is this possible!" Tu Man clutched his head, his eyes bloodshot, feeling like he was dreaming.

Zhou Ze looked puzzled: "What have you two been imagining all these years? I haven't told a single lie!"

Thor and Hong exchanged a glance, and Thor laughed:

"The onlooker sees more of the game than the player! I understand now—"

Thor pointed at Zhou Ze, then looked at Clark and Tuman and said:

"Teacher Zhou's guidance ability is miraculous. Almost everyone finds it hard to imagine that he, who can guide any genius or strong person in the peak space with ease, including cosmic-level or even domain lord-level powerhouses, is actually a Heng-level expert—"

"Hmm, it should have been a planetary level back then—."

Clark replied, "Yes, yes, that's right. Even though I could sense that his strength was only at the second level of the planetary level when we first met, I never doubted it."

"It wasn't until the Genius Battle had just begun that my teacher spoke to me again, and I started to have some ideas, but since the preliminary rounds were coming up soon, I didn't think much about it—"

"I never expected this—" Clark smiled wryly:

"Honestly, no one would find this hard to believe! Unless you were like me and stayed with the teacher from the beginning."

Tu Man looked up at the sky, her mind still blank, her heart filled with unease. She sighed, "It's our problem. The teacher has never lied to us; on the contrary, we thought the teacher was testing us!"

Zhou Ze was both amused and exasperated: "Tu Man, I've never tested you. I told you so seriously back then that I was no match for you. I confirmed with you again and again whether you really wanted to become my disciple, but you were still determined to do so—"

"I don't think I'm as good as you, but I'm still capable of guiding you, so I've accepted you as my students."

Luo Feng put his hands behind his head, blinked, and didn't know what to say for a moment. The occasion was just too awkward.

Luo Hua watched the scene quietly, calmly analyzing it in his mind.

Hong sighed and said nothing more.

Thor chuckled and said, "So here's the question: now that everything's out in the open, are you going to continue acknowledging Teacher Zhou as your master, or do you intend to clear up this misunderstanding?"

"What does this mean?" Tu Man stared at Thor with a blank look in his eyes and an unconscious, violent aura that sent a chill down Thor's spine.

But he quickly recovered and smiled slightly, "It's simple. Since it's a misunderstanding, even if you sever your master-disciple relationship, no one will say anything. Teacher Zhou won't say much either, though he might feel a little regretful—right, Teacher Zhou?"

As Thor spoke, he nudged Zhou Ze on the shoulder.

Zhou Ze's eyes remained calm, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Tu Man, Rong Jun, I've said it before, I've never lied to you. I didn't expect you to have such vivid imaginations—"

Zhou Ze shook his head and smiled sincerely, "No matter what, and no matter what you choose, we have a master-disciple relationship of two or three years, which is fate, isn't it?"

"Even if we can't be master and apprentice, we can still be friends—"

Upon hearing Zhou Ze's words, Clark's smile froze, his mind replaying the moments he had shared with Zhou Ze over the years like a slideshow.

"boom!"

Tu Man felt as if the sky had fallen. Even though he had stopped breathing long ago, he felt his heart pounding and he could hardly breathe!

"Teacher, my head is a bit of a mess, I need to calm down first—" Clark said subconsciously, and then logged off.

Tu Man's body in the virtual universe appeared and disappeared intermittently, indicating that his entire mind, will, and consciousness were in chaos...

Then suddenly, the connection with the virtual universe was severed!

This left Luo Feng and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.

Thor chuckled and said, "Rong Jun's mental fortitude is too weak. It's just two choices: either sever the master-disciple relationship, or continue—"

Luo Feng looked at Thor speechlessly and said, "Second Brother, what you're saying—anyone would find this unbearable."

""

"Put yourself in their shoes. You went through countless hardships and begged and pleaded to finally become their disciple, only to find out that their level was lower than yours. Who could accept that?"

Hong shook his head and sighed, "Indeed, Clark is alright, but Tuman seems to have completely lost his faith and inner strength."

Thor shrugged and said, "That's true, but it's not like Teacher Zhou can't teach him. It's just that he can't help him in any other way besides guidance. But then again, guiding him to improve in all aspects is the most important thing, okay?"

"But it would be good if we severed the master-disciple relationship, so I could surpass Rong Jun very quickly, haha—." Thor chuckled.

Thor laughed heartily, but no one responded, and the scene fell silent once again.

At this moment, Babata jumped out and, seeing everyone's expression, couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you all? What happened?"

"Babata, you've come at the perfect time—"

Luo Feng recounted what had just happened to Babata.

"Oh? Is that so—" Babata nodded and said, "It doesn't seem like a big deal. Zhou Ze explained his situation from the beginning, so who can they blame for not believing him?"

"There are only two possible outcomes now: either they sever their master-disciple relationship with Zhou Ze, or they continue. What's the big deal?"

"You all think you're so high and mighty, but you don't even understand this much!"

Babata has the air of a life mentor.

Thor rolled his eyes: "Kid, what do you know? It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering the consequences! A Monday morning quarterback!"

"You wretched guy! I told you not to call me 'little guy,' it's just as annoying as your AI assistant!" Babata said angrily.

"Little guy! Little guy!" Lord Mist jumped out and shouted repeatedly when he saw Babata making fun of him.

"Damn it! You two rascals, you look like little kids to me, especially you, you big bald guy, you're not even a fraction of my age!"

Lord Mist scoffed, "What else could you be but a little guy? Look at me, even a blind man could tell I'm more reliable than you standing together!"

"You disagree? Let's fight one-on-one! I'll give you a head start!"

Babata retorted angrily, "Some trash like you! Back when my master and I roamed the universe, I killed countless world lords like your master. One-on-one battles? Hah—"

Luo Feng chuckled awkwardly, "Alright, Babata, Lord Mist, you two shut up—"

Lord Mist scoffed, "See? Luo Feng told you to shut up. As for me, I'll naturally give Luo Feng face and ignore you!"

"Aaaah!" Babata completely lost his temper and went straight to Lord Mist, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Lord Mist immediately shrank into Thor's body. Although he often argued with Babata, he was no match for Babata in a real fight.

"Hide, or I'll beat up your master!"

Babata went completely berserk, grabbing Thor and beating him wildly. And you know what? Thor was no match for him!

"Damn it! Another one's gone mad!" Thor yelled. "Hey, Babata, it wasn't me who provoked you! Go find Lord Mist, what's the point of beating me up?"

"Ha ha--"

Zhou Ze, Hong, and Lei Shen couldn't help but burst into laughter, completely dispelling the oppressive atmosphere from before!
