Louis said seriously, "Actually, we can accept it."

"We really can't accept this."

She has no interest in taking on apprentices; she herself only has a superficial understanding of the subject.

I have no interest in misleading or corrupting young people.

Furthermore, taking on apprentices is quite troublesome.

Even if we could accept it, we wouldn't.

"I have a suggestion for you: if you want to learn, go find my uncle and the others."

“They are seasoned veterans, they have been learning martial arts longer than me, and their martial arts skills are stronger than mine. It’s better to learn from them than to learn from a half-baked person like me.”

As she spoke, Sang Ning pointed to her face, "See? My uncle went easy on me."

What would have happened if he hadn't shown mercy?

"I ask curiously," said Fimmonloa.

Sang Ning thought about it seriously for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Maybe, possibly, perhaps it's because half of my head is sunken."

It shouldn't be a problem for him to smash a sandworm's head to pieces with one punch, or even crush half of her head.

Emmanuel and the others swallowed hard. "That's intense?"

Sang Ning looked at them strangely, "Are you praising me or being sarcastic?"

"If I remember correctly, your strength is not bad, and you can achieve this level with a full-force attack."

They can do it, but they can't fully utilize their abilities.

"Your all-out attack is in the battle, our all-out attack is on the instruments."

Emmanuel explained, "In actual combat, for some reason, we can't unleash our full power."

Gu Shiqian, who was about to agree to Qin Heng's request to teach him a few moves after being worn down, replied, "You haven't had a chance to use your full strength in actual combat, so how do you know it won't work?"

"I've actually done it."

Emmanuel and Elliott spoke at the same time, exchanging a glance as they hadn't expected to bump into each other. Elliott continued, "We can't use mechs in every war."

"When the mechs are low on energy, we will also break away from their protection and fight the Zerg directly."

At this point, he recalled his past experience fighting against the Insect King and said with some distress, "I fought against six different Insect Kings without mechs. I could only exert 70% of my power, and I could not exert the remaining 30% no matter what."

"Because the mechs ran out of energy, and because they couldn't unleash their full power, all six victories were narrow ones."

“Emanuel isn’t much better off than me.”

Emmanuel nodded in agreement, but Gu Shiqian was a little puzzled and asked Louis and the others, "You guys have also fought against the Zerg?"

No, not at all.

They are not soldiers, and the area where they live could not possibly contain Zerg.

Therefore, they have hardly ever seen the Zerg in real life, let alone fought against them.

For them, the Zerg are like rare species.

"I've never fought against them. In all my years, I've hardly ever seen a live Zerg."

Monet laughed, "I've seen quite a few Zerg specimens."

The situation with Fimonloa and the others was similar. Gu Shiqian said "oh", stroked his chin and pondered for a while before saying, "It's definitely abnormal that you can't fully exert your power, but I don't know exactly what's wrong with it."

"But it doesn't matter. Planet E72 has plenty of other things, but sandworms that are two or three meters long are everywhere. We'll see how your actual combat goes, and we'll be able to find out the problems."

It would have been better if he hadn't said it; now that he has, everyone is dumbfounded.

What does that mean?

Weren't they visiting planet E72?

Why fight sandworms?

"I'm fine."

Emmanuel was the second to speak out, and he also expressed great anticipation for the sandworm issue.

Elliott was in a similar situation.

These two were so eager that Clyde and the others were too embarrassed to say no, and could only offer to kill sandworms as well.

Gu Shiqian expressed his satisfaction with their statement.

He praised them, saying, "You're all good kids. After I get home and check on you, I'll teach you a few tricks."

"ah?"

"real?"

"Master, please accept my bow."

Louis reacted the fastest at this moment. While Emmanuel and the others were still stunned by the sudden good news, he was already quickly preparing to perform the apprenticeship ceremony.

However, the ceremony didn't go through because Gu Shiqian stopped him.

"Don't bow down. Even if you do, I won't acknowledge you as my disciple."

Gu Shiqian's words made Emmanuel and the others, who were about to follow him, pause in surprise.

Louis was even more incredulous, saying, "Uncle Gu, you're willing to teach us martial arts, yet you won't accept us as your apprentices?"

Gu Shiqian looked utterly confused. "When did I say I was going to teach you martial arts?"

"I clearly said I was going to teach you a few tricks."

Is there a difference between these two?

Everyone was confused.

Upon seeing this, Sang Ning explained, "There is a big difference. Taking on a disciple requires starting with laying a foundation, which is very troublesome, while giving a few pointers doesn't require much."

"It mainly depends on your comprehension; those who can understand it will benefit greatly."

"Can't figure it out,"

She spread her hands and laughed, "Keep things as they are."

Gu Shiqian nodded, "Ningning is right. It's impossible for me to take you as my disciples. It's impossible in this lifetime."

"Giving you a few pointers is no problem."

Emmanuel and the others still wanted to start learning from scratch, but both Gu Shiqian and Sang Ning refused.

Neither of them had any intention of taking on apprentices, and their refusal was very firm and left no room for argument.

Emmanuel and his men had no choice but to give up.

But not giving up doesn't mean giving up completely. They just gave up on finding Sang Ning and Gu Shiqian, not on the governors.

A group of people secretly plotted to go to planet E72 and become the apprentices of the governors.

The governors on planet E72 all sneezed at the same time. A staff member from the Human History Research Institute who happened to be passing by stopped and asked with concern, "Are you all sick?"

"no."

They are as strong as oxen, so it's impossible for them to get sick.

"Someone is thinking about us."

After thanking the staff for their concern, Qi Wenyuan gestured for them to get back to work. Only after they left did he ask Tang Qingyun, "How are the preparations going?"

"That's about it."

Tang Qingyun smiled and said, "Everyone is very enthusiastic, so don't worry, I guarantee that Xiao Ningzi will be moved to tears when she comes back."

She was genuinely moved to tears, but not because of the awkward and cringe-worthy welcome ceremony they had prepared, but because her home planet had turned into a desert planet.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

After sailing for more than half a month, the starship carrying Sang Ning and his companions finally arrived at planet E72.

The blue planet, once mostly covered by oceans, has lost its original color and turned into an earthy yellow.

When the starship entered the planet's interior, all it could see was yellow.

Only a few scattered patches of green.

That's an oasis.

The observation deck offers a wide-angle view.

With the wide-angle view activated, the entire planet E72 is laid out before you, with every nook and cranny clearly visible, leaving no area or corner unseen.
