Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 39: A Massacre of Babata!!!

"Luo Feng, Babata is just an AI after all. What does she know about martial arts? You're making things too difficult for her..."

Before Zhou Ze could finish speaking, Babata went completely berserk:

"Zhou Ze! You're awful!"

"Let me reiterate! I, the demon Babata! The great Babata! An intelligent life form that does not follow the powerful among the immortal gods, but a terrifying being who has traversed the universe for billions of years with the Lord of the Meteorite Star!"

"How dare you say I don't understand martial arts? You're infuriating me... *sigh*..."

Babata's Starry Sky Fruit swelled up and throbbed under Zhou Ze's influence, captivating everyone's attention.

"So, you're just an AI after all, right? What do you know about martial arts, what do you know about domains and laws? You're just copying without understanding the essence!"

Zhou Ze spoke with a detached yet profound expression, but the more indifferent he was, the angrier Babata became.

Seeing this, Luo Feng felt a secret sense of satisfaction for some reason. That arrogant Babata would always meet a tragic end when facing the teacher.

"I don't understand, I don't understand, so what do you understand?" Babata puffed out his cheeks and said angrily.

"Of course, it's just some basic common sense, nothing special," Zhou Ze said casually, patting the corner of his clothes.

"Actually, you'll understand once you grasp the realm..."

Looking at Luo Feng, Zhou Ze continued, "I've been having you read ancient books; they certainly talk a lot about essence, energy, and spirit, right?"

Luo Feng nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

Faced with the self-absorbed conversation between master and disciple, who completely disregarded her, the great little devil Babata, Babata was so angry that she immediately disappeared into the virtual space.

"Teacher, Babata seems to be very angry with you, is he alright?" Luo Feng smiled awkwardly.

"It's nothing, just a child who's lived for over six thousand epochs. Don't worry about her," Zhou Ze said calmly.

"Teacher, is the domain also related to physical fitness? Hmm, the physical body represents essence, our primal energy represents qi, and spirit, mental power represents spirit?"

Luo Feng recalled the contents of the ancient book.

"But this has little to do with exerting force or attacking techniques, right? At most, it's just a way of using physical strength?" Luo Feng asked, puzzled.

"Not bad, you've improved! Even with me, you don't just accept everything without understanding anything and use it immediately." Zhou Ze gave Luo Feng an approving look.

Luo Feng scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "It's all thanks to the teacher's excellent teaching!"

"Well, the so-called domain, in essence, is actually a special power born from the fusion of consciousness, energy, and spirit into a single point, controlled by the mind—that is, will—and resonating with the universe!"

Zhou Ze spoke eloquently:

"Therefore, the stronger one's essence, energy, and spirit—that is, physical fitness, genetic energy, and conscious awareness—the stronger one's domain!"

"As for exerting force, it is essentially about activating dormant cells in the body. The basic punching power that all martial artists unleash actually does not activate any potential within the body."

"The higher the force exerted, the more of these dormant cells are activated. If all of them can be activated, theoretically, it's possible to achieve a hundred times the base punching power!"

Luo Feng's eyes widened: "My God, this is terrifying!"

Luo Feng was dumbfounded. He was only using less than ten times the punching power. If he could reach a hundred times the power, how terrifying would that be!

Babata, who had been secretly watching the screen, stared wide-eyed in disbelief!

This Zhou Ze is just too incredible! A hundred times the base power is a prerequisite for immortal gods, and he, a mere native of Earth, has actually managed to deduce it!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

He must have received some kind of cosmic inheritance to know this, and apart from the great master of Babata, where on Earth is there such an inheritance?!

"Teacher, what about attack methods? Attack methods shouldn't be as simple as just practicing more to master higher power generation, right?" Luo Feng guessed.

"Of course! In fact, exerting a hundred times the force is also fundamental; the most important thing is how to combine and utilize the internal energy!"

"Just like solving math problems, learning the basic concepts and theorems is only the foundation; the real skill is knowing how to apply them effectively, which is what leads to high scores!"

"If exerting force is the fundamental concept and theorem, then the method of attack is its application. Of course, I believe most attack methods combine both fundamentals and application!"

Zhou Ze's words were simple and easy to understand, and Luo Feng instantly grasped the meaning, his expression quite excited.

"Luo Feng, you want to learn about the field, but your mindset is still too shallow. I, Hong, and Lei Shen, each of us have gone through decades of life and death since our Nirvana before we were able to comprehend it."

"You're still young, don't aim too high. Besides, you can't go far in a field you acquire by force without understanding its essence..."

Zhou Ze seemed to be deep in thought. Often, when he was guiding others, he was also reflecting on himself and reviewing his own theoretical experience.

Reviewing the old helps us learn the new!

"Like Babata, she just copied her master's teaching materials and imitated them exactly. Of course, this is not bad either, after all, even though she is an intelligent life form, she has not been able to escape the limitations of intelligence..." Zhou Ze said sarcastically.

Babata was initially engrossed in listening, but at the end, he suddenly realized what was happening.

"You bastard Zhou Ze! I'm telling you, you're finished, your future is ruined!!"

"How dare you look down on this demon, Babata..."

Babata appeared and greeted Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze felt both pain and pleasure as he was being served by Babata.

Luo Feng, who was still deep in thought, saw this scene and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

He remembered his mother mentioning to him that many people of her generation were extremely interested in anime and games when they were young, and many even only liked handsome men and beautiful women in the two-dimensional world, and were not interested in reality.

Especially my dad; my mom even revealed that he had some weird fetishes when he was young, liking those sleazy anime female characters, and even...

Could his teacher be that kind of person?

But that doesn't seem right either. For a time, he was very interested in his teacher's past, and he had secretly tried to find out about it.

Well, he discovered that his teacher had gone through a period of moral decline and had a rather chaotic private life.

Anyway, he didn't understand why anyone would be interested in a virtual character.

"Babata, it was my fault. You've followed your master across the universe for over six thousand epochs. What haven't you seen? You must know these things. It's just that we were too weak to know that it would be meaningless, so we didn't say anything..."

Zhou Ze begged for mercy.

After venting his anger, Babata dried his hair and grumbled:

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

Babata glared at Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, now you know the importance of martial arts training, right?"

"Your concerns about time and energy are negligible; you have plenty of time to study and research!"

"Because planetary-level beings have a lifespan of about 1000 years, eternal-level beings have 1 era, cosmic-level beings have 10 eras, domain lords have 100, world lords have 1000, and immortal gods can live forever!"

"Also, Luo Feng, in the future, just listen to what Zhou Ze says. As for this talk of cell potential, there's no such thing in the universe."

"His explanations in that field are alright, but is the essence of it something you can grasp at this stage?"

"That's something only World Lords, or even Immortals, can access. You're still far from that level. Don't be overly ambitious!"

"Hmm." Luo Feng nodded, wondering to himself, "Then why was the teacher able to grasp and understand the essence of things?"

Moreover, the teacher also instructed him to start by understanding the essence, which proves that he also has the ability to comprehend the essence!

"And then there's Luo Feng. I've followed my master across the universe for billions of years, while Zhou Ze isn't even a fraction of my age."

"What haven't I seen? What don't I know? You must listen to me. If you listen to me, you have a great chance of becoming immortal!"

Babata was very dissatisfied with Luo Feng's repeated roars after he became his disciple.

"Hehe..." Zhou Ze laughed inappropriately.

That laugh could mean the difference between life and death.

Because Babata immediately went berserk.
