Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 1072 - 1071: Becoming a Disciple

Ning Ziyuan’s face changed dramatically upon hearing this, looking at the old man with a shocked gaze.

He actually saw through my origins at a glance? Could this old man be a super powerful figure from the Heaven and Earth Academy??

A flicker of surprise also appeared in Qin Hao’s eyes as he looked at Ning Ziyuan; she was actually someone from the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain.

Zhou Danqing used to say during class that the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain is considered one of the top forces in the entire Hidden Dragon Continent, even stronger than the five great dynasties and top sects of the Southern Continent, a truly terrifying force.

Ning Ziyuan: "May I know who you are, senior? How should I address you?"

The short, chubby old man: "Old man here is one of the guardians of the Heaven and Earth Academy, outsiders call me Eighth Master. Girl, I see the Peacock God King’s bloodline in you, is your father the Peacock King?"

Ning Ziyuan nodded: "That’s right, that’s my father. So you’re Eighth Master, forgive me for my disrespect, sir."

She couldn’t bring herself to call him Eighth Master, and her instincts told her that this short, chubby old man was not a decent person.

The Elder did not mind, and he looked at Qin Hao and said: "Kid, you have quite a talent. I plan to take you as my disciple. Kneel and acknowledge your master now."

Qin Hao and Ning Ziyuan were taken aback by these words.

Is this how you take a disciple? Just directly have them kneel to acknowledge a master?

Of course, anyone else would probably not hesitate and kneel to become a disciple, as this old man is a profoundly strong figure.

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said: "Eighth Master, I’m not mentally prepared yet, can you let me consider it for a while?"

The Elder huffed and glared at him: "I offer to take you as my disciple, and you’re thinking it over? Other top-tier talents kneel begging me to accept them, and I refuse."

The inadvertent aura he emanated caused Qin Hao and Ning Ziyuan’s expressions to change drastically.

Qin Hao hurriedly explained: "Eighth Master, that’s not what I meant. I’m someone who often gets into trouble, and I’m afraid you’ll regret taking me in later."

"Regret, my ass. I’ve dominated my entire life and have never once regretted it. Just give me your answer, will you accept or not? Kid, be careful how you answer, those who refuse me typically end up being thrown into the lake to feed the fish."

...

Damn it, saying it like that, how can I possibly refuse?

Qin Hao felt that even if he fully unleashed the speed of his space mecha, he probably couldn’t escape this old monster’s grasp.

This is a terrifying and eccentric old monster.

Having such a master could be a good thing for him; with someone like this backing him, who would dare openly plot against him among the two great dynasties?

But this master came quite suddenly, making him a bit slow to react at the moment.

"Have you decided? You have ten seconds left," the short, chubby old man said, looking at him.

Qin Hao forced a smile: "I’ve decided, I’ve decided. For a supreme being like you to take notice of me, it’s my good fortune. I willingly acknowledge you as my master, and I promise not to disgrace your name in the future."

The short, chubby old man nodded slightly: "Kneel and kowtow three times, and the master-apprentice ceremony will be complete. With me around, no one will dare to touch you."

Qin Hao was momentarily stunned—kowtow to acknowledge a master?

Typically, that’s the standard procedure, but when had Qin Hao ever knelt to anyone?

He looked at the old man and said: "Master, let’s forgo the formalities between us. Kowtowing is too conventional."

The Elder glanced at him: "Very well, I dislike those formalities the most. Keep this Jade Talisman; use it in times of danger, and I will arrive at the first moment."

"Thank you, Master." Qin Hao smiled faintly, relieved not to have to kneel.

"In the future, if there’s anything, you can also use that Jade Talisman to communicate. By the way, didn’t you acquire the Divine Artifact Binding Immortal Rope? Lend it to your master for a few days to study," the short, chubby old man said, looking at him.

Qin Hao froze for a moment, damn, this old guy is eyeing my Binding Immortal Rope?

The short, chubby old man cast a sidelong glance at him: "It’s just a mere Divine Artifact; can’t your master take a look at it? Afraid that I’d take it?"

Qin Hao slowly took out the Binding Immortal Rope, and the old man quickly grasped it in his hand: "This thing is useless to you now. When you need it someday, your master will return it to you. You can communicate with me if anything comes up in the future as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the pavilion as if he had never been there.

Ning Ziyuan looked at Qin Hao, and Qin Hao looked back at her with a miserable expression.

Bowing to a master, and he lost the Divine Artifact Binding Immortal Rope.

But surely a master of this level wouldn’t take and not return, right?

Ning Ziyuan also felt a bit awkward: "He calls himself Eighth Master. If I’m not mistaken, he should be the Elder of Heaven and Earth Academy. This man was an extraordinary talent, his temperament unruly, known as the Unbeatable Prodigy, with unfathomable strength. Even my father couldn’t help but admire him."

Elder of Heaven and Earth Academy? Unbeatable Prodigy?

But Qin Hao always felt this guy was a bit unreliable.

He decided not to dwell on these matters any longer and looked at Ning Ziyuan, saying: "I didn’t expect Miss Ning to be someone from the Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain. I apologize."

And according to the Elder’s implication, this Ning Ziyuan is actually the daughter of the Peacock King? Is she the offspring of a peacock?

Ning Ziyuan smiled slightly: "That’s right. My father has always told me that when venturing outside, do not disclose my identity, so I’ve always kept it hidden. No one knows."

Qin Hao: "I will keep Miss Ning’s identity confidential. May I ask a presumptuous question, is Miss Ning’s true form a peacock?"

Ning Ziyuan nodded: "Indeed, my true form is a peacock, with the bloodline of the Peacock God King flowing within me."

"Does that mean you’re considered a monster?"

Ning Ziyuan paused for a moment: "Monster? No, we aren’t considered monsters, we are the demon race, just like the human race, we are a race."

Qin Hao nodded: "I’m sorry, Miss Ning, I’m not very knowledgeable about these things."

Ning Ziyuan smiled slightly: "No problem, if Mr. Qin has the time, you are welcome to visit our Ten Thousand Demon Sacred Mountain. My father has always admired the young heroes on the continent."

Qin Hao: "Sure, if I have the time, I will definitely visit you."

Just then, in the far northern sky, a radiant aurora shone, like celestial light illuminating half the sky.

Qin Hao and Ning Ziyuan were drawn by the phenomenon and turned their heads to gaze at it, attempting to see the source of the aurora with all their might but failing to do so.

"What place is that?" Qin Hao said, somewhat shocked.

Ning Ziyuan shook her head: "Not sure, we can’t see the end at all. It must be very, very far away."

Everyone on the Hidden Dragon Continent witnessed this radiant aurora.

Countless formidable figures flew out from the Heaven and Earth Academy, soaring into the skies, gazing at the place where the aurora originated.

"Is that the ancient battlefield north of the North Continent??"

"The revival of ancient battlefield spirits, a harbinger of impending disaster."

In the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty, Nan Zhou Dynasty, Beichu Dynasty, Flame Dragon Dynasty, Thunder God Dynasty, Yunv Sect, Jialan Temple, and many other places, ancient monsters appeared in the void, gazing toward the far northern ancient battlefield.
