Chapter 329 Karl Reunited
Chapter 329 Karl Reunited
Jie wasn't stupid; he could tell the brat was unhappy, but he was too lazy to comfort him.
However, his second brother did go a bit too far this time; after all, this was "his" apprentice.
They were gone for half a year, and when they finally returned alive, they didn't even bother to come and see their only "successor".
Even if you didn't say goodbye to your sister-in-law when you left, it wouldn't make a difference if you saw your apprentice for a day or two, right?
Anyway, he felt that his second brother had done something wrong.
Mu Xingchen didn't openly complain, but silently followed his master Jie.
Together they entered the living quarters of their Super Soldier Company.
It's currently 7:30 PM North Star time, and the sky is quite dark.
Furthermore, because it was mealtime, there wasn't a single person wearing black armor to be seen in this dormitory area.
Jie remembered which room he and his older brother were assigned to, so he took Mu Xingchen there directly.
However, as soon as the master and apprentice pushed open the door, they saw Feng drinking alone there.
It wasn't just drinking; there were even several plates of snacks on the table to go with the drinks!
Peanuts, braised beef, jellyfish strips—they have it all!
Needless to say, this scene ignited a nameless rage within Jie.
He couldn't help but complain a few words about his older brother.
"Tsk, no, brother, I'm out there fighting for this kid, and you're here drinking and eating meat, having a really good time, aren't you?"
"What do you mean by fighting to the death? What? Did something happen?"
The wind's tone remained as indifferent as before.
He didn't even put down his wine glass when his third brother and apprentice returned!
And after he finished speaking, he downed the entire glass of wine in one gulp!
"It wasn't a big deal, it's all resolved now. Come on, let's have a drink!"
Jie didn't consider Hua Ye, that so-called fourth-generation divine body, to be a big threat, so he didn't bring up those things at this time.
He sat down in the chair opposite his older brother and prepared to start eating.
However, Feng ignored him and instead looked directly at his apprentice.
"Disciple greets Master."
Seeing his master staring at him, Mu Xingchen didn't wait for the other to speak before hurriedly kneeling down to pay his respects.
He paid such a great salute to the wind not only because the wind had twice given him life, but also because it had granted him dawn.
It was also because his Master Feng was more serious than Master Jie, that old rascal.
Therefore, Mu Xingchen dared not neglect his second master.
"No need to kneel, get up."
Feng's tone was somewhat nonchalant, but there was a clear sense of satisfaction in his eyes.
It had been half a year since he'd seen his apprentice, and he seemed to have matured considerably.
He is completely different from the "him" who used to respect his teachers and distinguish between order of precedence.
Hearing what his master Feng said, Mu Xingchen didn't hesitate and decisively got up from the floor.
"Hey, you're always so cheeky with me, but you're all bowing and scraping to your big brother, huh? Looks like I've been too lenient with you. From now on, I'll be like you, always giving you a stern lecture! Let's see if you dare to be so disrespectful to me again!"
The thief used a micro-wormhole to bring over a pair of chopsticks and a wine glass, and was pouring himself a drink.
Then I saw that brat bowing to his older brother so formally.
This annoyed him, so he said a few words to that guy.
"Uh……"
Seeing that his master was even jealous of this, Mu Xingchen was speechless.
However, he didn't take "his" words seriously and let them go in one ear and out the other.
Feng glanced at Jie, who was "removing" his mask, and then looked directly at his apprentice.
He even nodded at him.
"Excellent, you've improved a lot while we were away. It's clear you have a deeper understanding of Dawn."
Feng did not peer into Mu Xingchen's memories in the dark dimension; he saw the changes in "him" through Mu Xingchen's eyes.
Just like Carlos before, the white light seeping from Mu Xingchen's eyes confirmed that he had obtained Dawn.
It's not that Mu Xingchen's eyes actually glowed like a Kuiba.
The light in his eyes was something that only the three of them, who also possessed divine power, could see.
Under normal circumstances, no one could possibly see Mu Xingchen's glowing eyes.
[Not counting the incident with the Taotie spaceship, that time the anomaly in his eyes was due to a sudden loss of vision, caused by Mu Xingchen's excessive nervousness.]
"Huh? You could tell that?"
Mu Xingchen was quite surprised to hear Master Feng say that.
He simply didn't intend to reveal his Aunt Yuwen's story.
After all, it was Aunt Yuwen's own request.
"Hehehe, alright, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. Now that you have a deep enough grasp of Dawn, start training Gale properly from tomorrow."
Seeing the boy's surprised expression, Feng chuckled a few times, something he hadn't done before.
However, his words also meant that Mu Xingchen was about to begin another period of grueling training.
As one of the possessors of the power of the Four Saints, Feng did not want his disciple to be "unbalanced in his studies".
At the very least, you can't be too unbalanced in any subject.
Keep in mind that the power of his Chaos Fire hasn't even manifested in that kid yet.
He needs to supervise "him" training more closely during this period.
Only by grasping the true essence of Gale as soon as possible can he pass on the true power of Chaos to "him".
"Oh"
Having been ordered to leave by his second master, Mu Xingchen dared not linger.
After saying "oh," he left.
However, when he turned his face away, he looked somewhat listless, probably because his master Feng wanted to give him extra training.
The main reason is that he has only just figured out the correct way to use Dawn.
As a result, his master Feng turned around and told him to put Dawn aside for the time being and go train Gale first.
No wonder he's not happy about it.
After all, when faced with those "god-level" enemies, only Dawn can fight them.
And there's no guarantee of victory!
As for the gale and shadow, they couldn't harm those "gods" at all.
Especially those gods who have "cheated" their powers! [Referring to Ruoning's wormhole ability]
Despite his deep reluctance, Mu Xingchen dared not say anything more.
He could only leave his masters' room and go to the restaurant to find his wife and brothers.
At this moment, Jie also removed the lower half of his mask, picked up a wine glass, and drank the wine in it in one gulp.
"Wow, this is good wine! It's strong and has a pleasant aftertaste! Hey? Brother, where did you get this wine? It doesn't taste like the wine from our area."
Jie tasted the wonder of the wine, even though it was poured from his elder brother's wine gourd.
He was certain that this wasn't Icathian wine!
"It was brought by that girl named Qilin. She saw that I just sat there all day without eating, so she brought me some food."
When his brother asked him, Feng didn't hide anything.
He directly mentioned how his apprentice's wife had been filial to him.
Needless to say, Qi Lin's actions have definitely won her a lot of goodwill from Feng.
After all, no elder would dislike a sensible younger person.
"Really? That brat is quite lucky to have met such a wonderful girl, haha."
Jie felt quite pleased to learn that the food and wine had been sent by his apprentice's wife.
The main problem is that their apprentices have never been so filial to them before, but their apprentices' wives have taken the lead.
This made Jie feel extremely pleased.
It's not that Mu Xingchen doesn't understand filial piety; it's just that Feng and Jie weren't "physical entities" before, and they always hid in his sword and shadow, which prevented him from having the opportunity to show filial piety to his two masters. It's not that Mu Xingchen is unfilial.
"That's true, let's drink!"
With that, Feng picked up his wine glass and went to drink with his third brother.
That life was truly quite enjoyable.
……
In the Deathsong Academy on the Shadow Star in the Styx Galaxy.
Karl was at his desk recording some information about the "new" god-slaying weapon.
His quill pen kept writing data on a piece of parchment.
The way she was completely absorbed in her work was truly beautiful in an indescribable way.
However, just as Carl was engrossed in writing, Snow walked in from outside.
"I, Hua Ye, request an audience with my god Karl."
With that, Snow bowed to his favorite god.
"Huh? Why is he here?"
Upon hearing Snow's report, Karl had no choice but to stop what he was doing.
"...Let him in."
After thinking for a few seconds, Karl decided to meet Hua Ye.
The main reason is that the guy armed his black hole engine, and he does need some data "feedback".
Yes, my God.
Seeing Karl nod, Snow immediately retreated outside.
It's easy to see from his half-bent-over backwards posture that Snow truly respected Karl.
Shortly after Snow left, Hua Ye and Ruoning went into Karl's study together.
Ruoning was alright; after seeing Karl, all her attention was focused on him.
Hua Ye, on the other hand, remained the same, maintaining his unrestrained and unconventional attitude.
He entered Karl's room without even asking a question, and instead fiddled with some of the trinkets in Karl's study.
The way they moved around, pushing and shoving, was as if they didn't care about death at all.
Karl merely frowned slightly at the Heavenly King's rude behavior, but did not try to stop him.
However, as the owner of the Death Song Academy, he couldn't afford to neglect his "guests."
So he spoke first and asked a question.
"It's been a long time. What brings the Heavenly King here as a guest?"
"Ah, I've been quite free lately, so I thought I'd come and visit my good ally. After all, my quick return to power is all thanks to you, Karl!"
As he spoke, Hua Ye casually tossed the blue-glowing Rubik's Cube aside.
Without a doubt, Hua Ye threw the Rubik's Cube directly to the ground, making a "thud" sound.
It has to be said that Hua Ye's actions were quite rude, but Karl simply pretended not to see it.
"Your Majesty, there's no need for such formalities. I wonder if you're finding this black hole engine easy to use?"
Although Karl was smiling politely at Hua Ye, he was actually stealing Hua Ye's combat data through the vulnerability he had previously "reserved" for the black hole engine.
After all, Hua Ye and Shi Hao had "joined forces" to prevent Tianren 7 from entering the solar system.
Although they only encountered the Yi people civilization and some angel warriors with very young bone age that time.
But that data feedback was still very valuable to Karl.
He needs that real-world data to lay the foundation for developing a new engine in the future.
[Previously, Karl helped Hua Ye's subordinates upgrade their second-generation divine bodies, but it was Ruoning who brought them, not Hua Ye himself. Therefore, since installing the black hole engine for Hua Ye, Karl hasn't had a chance to "communicate" with it up close.]
"Hmm~ So easy! So easy! I must say, Karl, you really are a genius. After equipping the black hole engine, I suddenly feel invincible again! Hahahaha~~"
Hua Ye was once the "King" of Angels, so he certainly wouldn't "show weakness" to Karl.
Even though he was almost killed by that masked man a few days ago, he still acts like he's the most important person in the world.
Ruoning, on the other hand, frowned, probably because she had received news that her gene engine had been "invaded".
Ruoning was definitely unhappy that her data was read by that blond-haired guy the moment they met.
However, since they came seeking help, they didn't dare to make a scene.
She simply stared at Karl with displeasure.
"If it's easy to use, then all my efforts in researching it won't have been in vain."
Karl smiled at Hua Ye, but this time it wasn't a professional fake smile.
Because he had already obtained the data he wanted from the vulnerability in the black hole engine.
Not only that, he also learned from those data that Hua Ye had recently been almost killed by Carlos's companion.
Karl wasn't surprised that the hot-tempered masked man possessed such abilities; in fact, he could say he had expected it.
He just didn't expect Hua Ye to face off against those three so quickly.
Actually, this isn't all bad news, since he told Carlos about Hua Ye's comeback.
The hope was that Carlos could "somewhat" restrain the Heavenly King.
In any case, the more chaotic the known universe is, the safer Styx will be (the more time it will have to develop).
Seeing that Karl didn't even bother to let them sit down, Hua Ye didn't want to waste any more time.
Let's get straight to the point.
"Didn't you help some of my old subordinates upgrade to the second generation some time ago? However, since I don't have a Heavenly Palace, it's not easy to gather more helpers. But attacking the Heavenly Court of Merlo is imminent. I wonder what your opinion is on this?"
Although Hua Ye was injured during the robbery last time, he had actually achieved his goal.
That's right, after avoiding their sharp edge (fleeing in a panic), Hua Ye contacted those triangulation bodies again!
He also reached some collaborations with them that he considered to be very good.
Strictly speaking, Hua Ye is now capable of fighting against the Heavenly Court of Merlo.
He was simply coveting the power of that mysterious man (Zed), so he wanted to get some more benefits from Karl.
Of course, he also knew that the masked man was not an ally of Angel Nebula, but at most an aid from Earth (the Galactic Force).
But as the saying goes, it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal.
Therefore, he still wanted to "extort" some more benefits from Karl.
After all, his dealing with the Heavenly Court of Melo was also a way to eliminate a major hidden danger for Karl.
