Swallowed Star Chapter 932

Luo Feng was confused. Castellan teacher had asked him to come to see him after ten battles, but here he was after only two. And the castellan was patient enough to wait for him to finish.

"You're going to create the second move?" the castellan asked, looking at Luo Feng.

"Yes," Luo Feng said with respect. "I don't think the first move of Moon Policy or 10,000-Star Sermon Map is enough, which is why I need to create the second one."

"You're studying both of them?" the castellan continued.

"Yes." Luo Feng didn't hesitate a bit.

The castellan frowned and said in a throaty voice, "Did you engage in any fighting?"

"Two," Luo Feng answered. "I barely won the first one but lost the second one."

"What's your takeaway from that?" the castellan asked.

"I realized that both strengths and treasures are important," Luo Feng said. "For one thing, treasures can't be fully utilized if the owner is not powerful enough. Plus, one will be put at a disadvantage in a battle against enemies at the same level if he doesn't have treasures. For me, I have adequate treasures, whereas I need to increase my power."

Both Luo Feng and the castellan stood among the stars in the practice field and engaged in questions and answers.

"Didn't these battles make you realize that you're wasting your time trying to follow the spirit reader path?" the castellan scolded Luo Feng in a raucous voice.

The voice directly hit Luo Feng's mind, yet Luo Feng remained extraordinarily firm.

"Waste of time?" Luo Feng shook his head. "No. I feel like I'm strengthened and that it's the right path for me."

Luo Feng thought the castellan was kidding because he owned the Star Map, which was designed for spirit reader to attack. He wouldn't be able to defeat limit emperors with his own power and moves, whereas he could out-power Lightning-Racing Emperor with the Star Map!

The castellan shook his head. "Give up. Give up on the spirit reader path and focus on the warrior path." The castellan sighed.

Luo Feng was dazed and stared at the castellan who had been guiding him all along. "Why?" he asked. "I have an unrelenting will, and I inherited from Demon-Sound General, which gave me a high frequency of amplitude. I can make great accomplishments following the spirit reader path."

"But you can accomplish greater things if you follow the warrior path!" the castellan said.

"Could you please clarify?" Luo Feng said and bowed.

The castellan looked at his student, knowing that it was impossible for him to give up because of one sentence alone.

"I'll elaborate on it," the castellan said with earnestness. "First of all, you're a black warrior. Second, you're following the path of beast god!"

Luo Feng listened carefully.

"The black warrior has become a legend in Blood River Land," the castellan said. "Being a black warrior means your genes tally with those of the beast god, and you can significantly improve your genes using Blood of Beast God in the future. Genes are foundational. If you're fundamentally 1,000 times stronger, how is your enemy going to fight you? Besides, the fallen beast god in Blood River land concentrated on close combat. Remember, spirit reader can never reach the top by following the path of beast god."

The castellan looked at Luo Feng. Luo Feng was bewildered.

Can never reach the top?

"You have to follow the path of the warrior to match beast god's level!" the castellan said. "You're a black warrior, so you have an extremely rare constitution. The fact that you could improve so quickly on the path of beast god shows your great talent. How can you squander it? You're likely to become a master of the universe if you follow the path of the warrior. It's indeed difficult, but success is guaranteed. If you just follow your own whims, it will be almost impossible for you to become a master of the universe."

Luo Feng fell into silence.

"Some small clans don't even know about this secret," said the castellan. "Some have tried both paths like you, which is ridiculous because they will never be able to reach the top. Just take Xi Luo Duo as an example. He was stuck at the last challenge and never managed to cross it." The castellan looked at Luo Feng. "Think deeply. And give me the answer when you're done."

The castellan turned around. Luo Feng remained silent.

I can only follow the path of the warrior if I want to match the beast god? Luo Feng mused. Being a black warrior means my genes tally with the beast god? That's right. I learned Nine-Calamity Tome, after which my genes sharply improved, exceeding those of humans, and that's how I managed to merge the ten Black River Crystals. One path is given by castellan teacher. I need to follow the path of the warrior and the beast god, and I'm likely to become as powerful as the beast god, which means I will become a master of the universe!

The spirit reader is offered by teacher Zuo Shan Ke. I'll concentrate on Nine-Calamity Tome, and there's no need to create any form of secret techniques, because I'll take charge of the Star Tower when I become more powerful in the future. Both students of teacher Zuo Shan Ke are masters of the universe, which means it is more likely that I'll become a master of the universe following this path—not to mention one of the most forceful treasures, Star Tower.

"Which one should I choose?" Different scenarios struck Luo Feng's mind.

He laughed. Why should I even bother? I'll follow two paths since each of them offers a chance for me to become a master of the universe. Luo Feng perked up. I'm not like Bran, who divided his focus between two laws. Although it seems like I am following both the path of the warrior and the path of the spirit reader, I'm following the path of the beast god, essentially. And I can study how to combine them together if I follow both paths.

Among the stars, the castellan stood in the void for quite a while.

"Teacher," Luo Feng finally said with veneration.

"You've made your decision?" The castellan sounded tranquil.

"Yes," Luo Feng said, looking as if there were lights in his eyes. "I've decided to follow both paths, and I'll give one of them up if I realize I have made the wrong decision in the future."

The castellan turned to Luo Feng. "I will say no more on this, as you've made up your mind," said the castellan. "I'll see how far you can go by following both paths."

Luo Feng looked at the teacher.

"Great." The castellan nodded. "It's okay to make mistakes. What really matters is whether you can persevere and put your heart into it."

Luo Feng kneeled. "Thank you, teacher."

He kneeled because he was sincerely thankful. He realized that the castellan would still support him even if he went against his suggestions, and that the castellan arranged one opponent after another for him to practice his secret techniques, which was time-consuming. Even if the castellan valued Luo Feng because of his race, he owed so much to him. He needed to remember his kindness and repay it when he had the chance.

"Let's begin!"

Luo Feng disappeared, and the golden-horned beast appeared. Luo Feng followed the usual schedule and started with Moon Policy, followed by 10,000-Star Sermon Map.

In the rural area of the universe, Black Flower Secret Region, inside Ice Hell, the news was spreading that Luo Feng had managed to survive both Death God's Point and Silver Look and escape. However, there weren't advanced communications in Ice Hell and the detector Luo Feng carried was interrupted. It was not realistic to establish an internal virtual world inside Ice Hell.

Poor communication!

Besides, there were feuds between the powerful creatures, and they were so hostile toward each other that they would fight each other anytime they met. Only some friends or equals would gather once in a while. As a result, only one-third of the creatures knew about what Luo Feng had done after more than half a year had passed.

******

In the snows of Southern Ice Hell stood a spectacular palace with blocks of ice littered all around. Demon-race characters were crafted on them, which were clearly the rankings of Ice Hell. Without a doubt, inside the palace lived a very special creature—Sky Wolf! One of the five invincible emperors!

Additionally, he was the editor of the rankings and also happened to be best-tempered. It was said that sky wolves were ruthless and fierce creatures, whereas the Sky Wolf living here was arguably one of the most peaceful. However, he would also kill if he was irritated. After all, he was one of the top five creatures in all of Ice Hell, a title earned by majestic battles.

In the tremendous icy throne sat a mountain-like demon around fifteen kilometers long. It was covered with snowy hair tipped with gold, giving the appearance of a halo around him. There were three strange, scar-shaped engravings on his forehead.

He was Sky Wolf!

"Master, it seems the ranking needs to be updated."

"There have been new battles?"

"Yes. It was the human who fought with Lightning-Racing Emperor and Silver Eye."

Five servants covered with scales stood in the palace, and they were at the level of officials. Sky Wolf had brought them here when it was detained.

"Human!" Sky Wolf suddenly raised his head and glared down at them. "Where is the human? Find the human right now!"

The servants were dazed. "Master, the fight was more than half a year ago."

"More than half a year?"

Sky Wolf growled. When the human showed up in Ice Hell, Silver Eye had publicly looked for him. Sky Wolf, on the other hand, had sent his servants to search for him in secret but had eventually given up the search. He hadn't expected the news to come more than half a year late.

"This can't go on," said Sky Wolf.

Sky Wolf stood up with his four hoofs on the throne. His servants kneeled down under the fear of his might.
