Chapter 1024: Identity Verification! (1)
Editor: Atlas Studios
After the competition ended, Big Sister Saber returned to Chu Zhou and the others.
“Big Sister Saber, I knewyou would definitely win the championship. How can those b*stards from the Thunder Clan be your match?” Beibei chuckled.
“Glib-tongued!”
Big Sister Saber smiled faintly and rubbed Beibei’s furry head.
“Lei Ge, you actually won the championship. Looks like the Thunder Clan’s ninth lineage is finally going to rise.”
Lei Yun held Big Sister Saber’s hand and said excitedly.
The ninth lineage of the Thunder Clan had been in decline for more than 300 million years.
Now, the ninth lineage only relied on her, an Elementary Grade Universe Lord, to hold the fort.
What if an accident happened to her one day?
The Thunder Clan’s ninth lineage would become a complete joke without the support of a Universe Lord. They would decline and even be banned by the Thunder Clan.
Now that Big Sister Saber had won the Thunder Clan’s Prodigy Tournament, she finally saw hope for the Thunder Clan’s ninth lineage to rise again.
“Teacher, don’t worry. I will lead the rise of the ninth lineage.”
Big Sister Saber knew her teacher’s obsession very well and said gently. “Alright, alright, alright…”
When Lei Yun heard Big Sister Saber’s promise, she was so excited that she could not control herself.
“Ahem…”
Lei Huang of the Thunder Clan coughed lightly and drew all his attention back to himself. Then, he said loudly,
“The list of the top ten is out.”
“However, according to the rules of our competition, we still have to carry out the last segment. Only then can the list of the top ten be truly confirmed.”
“As everyone knows, the Thunder Trial is extremely dangerous. If any prodigy doesn’t have a sufficiently powerful guardian, they will only be tempting fate if they participate in the trial. Therefore, we have to verify the identity and strength of the guardians of the top ten prodigies.”
“If any prodigy’s guardian is too weak… I’m sorry, but I can only give the opportunity to other prodigies.”
At this point, Lei Huang paused for a moment before continuing,
“Now, let’s invite the guardians of the top ten geniuses to come to me to verify their identities and strength.”
The eyes of the Thunder Clan prodigies who had been eliminated and were close to the top ten lit up.
If some of the top ten prodigies’ guardians were not strong enough… then they might have a chance to replace them.
This kind of thing had happened before.
Many prodigies of the Thunder Clan who had been eliminated looked at Big Sister Saber.
As far as they knew, there were no other experts in the ninth lineage other than Lei Yun.
Lei Yun was only an Elementary Grade Universe Lord.
According to past experiences, it was obviously not enough for an Elementary Grade Universe Lord to be the guardian.
In that case, even though Big Sister Saber won the championship in the competition, she might be eliminated because the guardian was not strong enough.
“Hehe, it looks like these Thunder Clan brats haven’t given up. It’s very likely that they’re still thinking that you’ve been eliminated because you don’t have a powerful guardian, Big Sister Saber… However, they’re dreaming!” Beibei sensed the gazes of the Thunder Clan prodigies and smiled coldly.
Big Sister Saber gently rubbed Beibei’s head with one hand and smiled faintly, not talcing it to heart at all.
“I’m going!”
As Chu Zhou spoke, he took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of Lei Huang.
Almost at the same time, the guardians of the other nine geniuses also arrived.
Chu Zhou glanced at the nine guardians indifferently and realized that seven of them were Intermediate Grade Universe Lords, and the other two were Advance Grade Universe Lords.
The nine guardians were all Universe Lords of the Thunder Clan. Lei Huang understood their situation very well.
Therefore, the nine guardians passed with just a simple glance.
Only Chu Zhou was unknown to Lei Huang.
Recalling the Ancestor’s voice transmission to him not long ago, Lei Huang could not help but look at Chu Zhou seriously.
“Friend, I need to know your true identity in order to prevent outsiders from infiltrating among the guardians.”
Lei Huang said politely.
The other nine guardians also looked at Chu Zhou with burning eyes.
They also felt that Chu Zhou was mysterious and unfathomable. They also wanted to know who Chu Zhou was.
“It’s not convenient for me to reveal my identity. Otherwise, it will bring big trouble.”
Chu Zhou said calmly, “However, you’re right. If foreign races infiltrate the guardians, it will be extremely dangerous for your Thunder Clan.” “How about this? I can let you alone know my identity. Everyone else is unnecessary.”
“Sure!” Hearing Chu Zhou’s words, the Thunder Clan’s Patriarch immediately nodded heavily.
He looked at Chu Zhou with even more curiosity.
Which big shot among the Humans was this?
He was actually unwilling to reveal his identity in the human territory.
With a thought from Chu Zhou, the surrounding spacetime instantly distorted. There was only him and the Thunder Clan Patriarch in this distorted spacetime. The other nine guardians were isolated outside.
At this moment, the Thunder Clan’s Patriarch finally sawChu Zhou’s true face.
However, after seeing the true appearance of the boat, the Patriarch was dumbfounded on the spot.
He had never dreamed that Chu Zhou, a figure who was in the limelight among all the humans and even the myriad races in the universe, would actually come to their Thunder Clan.
Furthermore, he had become the guardian of a prodigy of the Thunder Clan.
This was too unexpected.
“ChuZhou… It’s actuallyyou!”
The Patriarch was stunned for a moment before he came to a realization. “I finally understand why the Ancestor said that our Thunder Clan has a distinguished guest… Indeed, if it’s you, you’re indeed a distinguished guest.” When Chu Zhou heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile, “Looks like your Thunder Clan’s Ancestor has already noticed me.”
When Lei Huang sawChu Zhou’s reaction, he was afraid that Chu Zhou would misunderstand and hurriedly explained,
“The Ancestor doesn’t have any ill intentions towards you. He just accidentally sensed your arrival and reminded me.”
Chu Zhou waved his hand and said calmly, “It’s fine.”
“Chu Zhou… may I ask how you became Lei Ge’s guardian?”
The Patriarch asked.
He was too curious about this question.
Who is Chu Zhou?
Not only was he the youngest Universe Nobility in the human race, he could even be said to be the youngest Universe Nobility in the universe. Furthermore, he was a senior executive of the Mirror Universe corporation. His teacher was ’ even the new Overlord, King Bei Cang…
Such strength and background meant that Chu Zhou had a bright future ahead of him.
The chances of him becoming an Overlord in the future were extremely high.
Such a person was actually willing to be the guardian of the Thunder Clan’s World Overlord.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not think of a suitable reason.
Chu Zhou didn’t hide anything and said calmly, “Lei Ge was my first teacher. In the past, she protected me. Now, I’m protecting her. Is there anything wrong with that?”
What?
Lei Ge was actually Chu Zhou’s first teacher?
When the Thunder Clan Leader heard this news, he was almost petrified. This was too unbelievable.
Lei Ge was still a World Overlord, but she had actually taught the youngest Universe Nobility in the history of the universe?
F*ck…
The Patriarch wanted to hammer himself to see if he was dreaming.
He stared straight into Chu Zhou’s eyes. After seeing Chu Zhou’s serious gaze, he confirmed that Chu Zhou was not joking.
Moreover, with Chu Zhou’s status and strength, why would he make such a joke?
It was confirmed that Lei Ge was really Chu Zhou’s teacher.
At this moment, the Patriarch was ecstatic.
This… this is what it means to have something fall into your lap!
Now, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Chu Zhou was very likely to become a top figure among humans in the future.
With Lei Ge and Chu Zhou’s relationship, the Thunder Clan could be considered to be related to Chu Zhou.
This would bring unimaginable benefits to both Lei Ge and the Thunder Clan.
“Hahaha, there’s nothing wrong. Chu Zhou, you respect your master. This is worth learning from by all the humans in the universe.”
The Thunder Clan Leader laughed excitedly.
“Then, you should know the reason why I hid my identity! My identity is rather sensitive… If those alien races know that I’m going to the Thunder Punishment Great World as Big Sister Saber’s guardian, it’s very likely that something unexpected will happen.”
Chu Zhou smiled and said.
“Indeed…” The Thunder Clan Patriarch nodded his head in agreement.
Now, there were too many foreign races in the universe who wanted to kill Chu Zhou.
If they knew that Chu Zhou had left the human territory, those foreign race factions might have arranged an assassination for him.
It would add a lot of trouble.
“As long as you understand!”
Chu Zhou casually waved his hand, causing the distorted space and time around him to return to normal.
Of course, the spacetime around him was still distorted, making it impossible for outsiders to see his face clearly.
“I’ve already verified the identity and strength of this esteemed guest. He has the ability to be Lei Ge’ s guardian.”
The Patriarch said to the many higher-ups of the Thunder Clan.
Many of the higher-ups of the Thunder Clan vaguely realized that the Patriarch seemed to respect Chu Zhou. This made them secretly suspect that Chu Zhou might very well be an existence with an astonishing background among the humans.
After verifying his identity, Chu Zhou prepared to return.
At this moment, the Patriarch’s ears twitched slightly, and his face was filled with shock.
Esteemed guest, wait… Our Ancestor wants to see you!”
The Thunder Clan’s Patriarch hurriedly reached out to stop Chu Zhou. Everyone present was stunned hearing the Thunder Clan Patriarch’s words. The Ancestor of the Thunder Clan was an overlord whose name shook the universe. He was also the stabilizing force of the Thunder Clan.
The Thunder Clan’s Ancestor would probably be too lazy to care even if an Universe Nobility came and wanted to meet the Thunder Clan’s Ancestor.
In fact…
This had indeed happened several times.
There were a few times when Universe Nobility descended on the Thunder Clan and wanted to visit and consult the Thunder Clan’s Ancestor, but they were all rejected.
But now, the Ancestor of the Thunder Clan took the initiative to see Chu Zhou.
How could everyone not be shocked?
“Who… is he?”
“This person’s background must be extraordinary. Otherwise, the Ancestor of the Thunder Clan wouldn’t have taken the initiative to meet him.”
Everyone was even more curious about Chu Zhou’s true identity.
When Chu Zhou heard the Thunder Clan’s Patriarch’s words, his body paused slightly. He pondered for a moment and said, “Then lead the way.”
At this moment, he thought of the countless purple threads that covered the entire Thunder Clan’s ancestral star.
He was also very curious about the Thunder Clan’s Ancestor who had set up countless purple threads.
“Esteemed guests, please follow me!”
When the Thunder Clan’s Patriarch heard that Chu Zhou did not refuse, he heaved a long sigh of relief. Then, he immediately soared into the sky and flew towards the exit of the mystic realm.
Chu Zhou chased after her.
