Chapter 19: Nine Times the Power! Hong and Thor were stunned!
Tell me...
Hong understood what Zhou Ze meant; Janet's dramatic rise in rankings this time was nothing short of phenomenal.
If Zhou Ze doesn't forge a deeper relationship with the martial arts school, he'll face endless troubles in the future. Even if Zhou Ze's disciple is Luo Feng, who possesses the strength of an invincible war god, he won't be able to stop him.
"My first and most important request is that you personally drafted the contract for me, so you should know that I don't have many ambitions and I cherish freedom."
Zhou Ze said calmly;
"Staying in Yangzhou gives me absolute freedom. I can stay home if I want, or teach at the martial arts school if I want..."
"So I hope I can also gain this freedom, but I can promise that as long as there are no important matters, I can give you three spots a month, two for our martial arts school and one for Chairman Thor's Thunder Martial Arts School..."
Zhou Ze smiled and glanced at Thor, saying, "After you've discussed it internally, all three of you should come to me for a training session."
"Okay," Hong said calmly.
"Haha, you're a smart kid, you haven't forgotten me." Thor laughed. "I thought I wasn't included. Anyway, I accept your kindness."
"You're practicing my Ninefold Thunder Blade technique, aren't you? Whenever I have time, I can personally instruct you on how to use it!"
Zhou Ze smiled without saying a word, then continued, "My second request is that I be given a portion of the spirit of plants and trees."
"As you know, I don't have any physical gifts..."
"Okay." Hong nodded.
Thor looked at Hong Dao with a hint of "jealousy": "Your gym leader paid for this? I know your Extreme Martial Arts Gym discovered a large amount of Herbal Hearts on the Australian continent, you made a fortune!"
That being said, Thor didn't really care about these things. Those willow wood hearts weren't very useful to planetary-level warriors, especially him and Hong.
"My third request is to obtain the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade and the complete World Annihilation Manual. I would also like to ask about your understanding of mental cultivation."
Zhou Ze feigned curiosity and said, "If we could obtain your notes on cultivating one's mental state, or your annotations on ancient classics, that would be even better..."
At this point, Zhou Ze paused and said, "Judging from your techniques, you seem to be constantly revealing your understanding and requirements for mental state between the lines."
"I know I'm perfectly normal. I can use my self-created power-generating technique as an exchange. This technique is derived from the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade created by Thor, and its maximum power can reach 9 times!"
……
The entire reception room fell silent for a long time.
"Are you sure you created yourself, and not obtained it from some relic???" Thor's eyes widened in disbelief.
As the creator of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, the ultimate technique with the highest power output in the world, he is well aware of the difficulties involved.
For so many years, he has been unable to break through the seven-fold power limit, and he simply cannot unleash the tenth hidden force.
"How did you do that?" Thor asked, utterly astonished.
Hong didn't believe Zhou Ze would exaggerate something like this, especially in front of the two of them, and pondered, "It is indeed somewhat unbelievable!"
Zhou Ze remained calm, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Speaking of which, I was actually pushed to my limit by my disciple Luo Feng back then..."
"Oh, hurry up and tell me! Don't keep me in suspense like Brother Hong. We 90s kids don't play riddles!" Thor asked impatiently.
Zhou Ze slowly said, "Actually, I didn't have enough money to buy the seventh level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, while my disciple Luo Feng has good comprehension and is willing to work hard. He quickly mastered the sixth level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade, leaving me with no more to teach him..."
"I felt a little uneasy. Then I suddenly had a thought: whether it's the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade or the World Destroyer, they were all created by humans. I consider myself to have decent comprehension, so why can't I rely on myself to create an even higher level of power based on the sixth level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade..."
"And then you created a technique to increase power ninefold??" Thor touched his bald head, looking somewhat dazed. "It seems like less than a year has passed."
"Well, once you understand the essence, exerting force isn't difficult. The real challenge lies in the mental cultivation you mentioned in the manual!"
Zhou Ze showed a hint of admiration.
Zhou Ze wasn't faking his expression; both Hong and Lei Shen were worthy of respect.
Hong breathed a sigh of relief, a rare smile appearing on his face: "Okay, I'll summarize my insights into my state of mind when I get back and send them to you."
"By the way, Master, I'm also very curious about your field. Could you perhaps..." Zhou Ze said with an embarrassed smile, "If I could experience it, that would be the best."
"I feel like I'm just one step away from mastering this skill."
Many powerful figures know that Hong possesses a domain; it's not something to hide.
Thor swallowed hard, his face contorted with embarrassment, and said, "Could you wait a moment? If you really get a domain, how embarrassing would it be for me, the second-best person in the world?"
Without the preceding remarks, Thor would definitely have dismissed Zhou Ze's words with disdain. But Zhou Ze then mentioned mental cultivation and exerting nine times the power.
Therefore, he didn't find it hard to accept Zhou Ze's statement that he was only one step away from the realm.
"OK."
Hong agreed in a deep voice, then his eyes narrowed slightly, and a reddish-black light emanated from his body, enveloping the entire reception room. At that moment, Hong appeared like a god.
"This is... a domain?" Luo Feng outside was stunned. How did things suddenly turn into a fight?
Inside the room, Hong's domain did not damage anything, yet it exerted just the right amount of pressure, allowing Zhou Ze to feel the first step on the path to becoming a powerful being.
"I see, I understand now..."
"Willpower! It's all about willpower! Infusing willpower into genetic energy, physical strength, mental power, and consciousness—this isn't the kind of combination I've come up with, where it triggers a resonance within the universe!"
"Instead, it's about using willpower to govern and control everything, thereby triggering a resonance in the universe. My theory is correct... but how exactly does one achieve this resonance... what are the specific steps...?"
Zhou Ze came back to his senses with a slight sense of regret, and then saw Hong gather his domain to form a small red and black ball. The ball grew smaller and smaller until it was finally put into his palm and disappeared.
Zhou Ze seemed to be deep in thought.
"Brother Zhou Ze, how's it going? Do you feel anything? Looks like you're still a little short. That look of you suddenly having an epiphany with your eyes closed just now scared me, haha..." Thor said with a smile.
Zhou Ze glanced at Thor with a half-smile and said, "I understand now. I'll be able to comprehend the domain when I get back this time!"
"Ah! Really?" Thor looked dejected, then, as if remembering something, exclaimed excitedly, "Teacher Zhou, if you really succeed, don't forget your brother!"
"No matter what, you're definitely better at guiding others than Brother Hong. If you can really guide me to understand this field, I'll become your apprentice, haha!"
Hong glanced at Thor: "Watch your attitude!"
As his identity continued to rise, Zhou Ze couldn't help but marvel at how unconventional Thor was, with his "moral bottom line" being extremely flexible. However, he found it very comfortable to be around him, and his mood couldn't help but become pleasant.
"The nine-fold power generation technique I've mastered is quite unique. Let me explain it to you now. If you were to teach it to others, they might need to create their own sword and spear techniques on top of my power generation method!"
Zhou Ze's lips curled into a smile; the biggest gain from this meeting was about to arrive.
