Chapter 1753 Betting
Hearing Zhou Wen's answer, the girl said with a half-smile, "Since you are the best Master, you must be the most powerful being. Then why haven't I seen your name on the Rubik's Cube Rankings?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her, knowing that she seemed to have bad intentions. Li Xuan, who was beside Zhou Wen, frowned and wanted to say something, but Zhou Wen stopped him.
"Little girl, you are still young and lack cultural knowledge. I don't blame you." Zhou Wen said with a smile.
Hearing Zhou Wen implying that she was illiterate, the girl was furious. She stared at Zhou Wen fiercely and said, "Where did I say something wrong? Please point it out."
"The world's greatest artists, the best chess masters, the strongest warriors—I'm sure many are familiar with their names, but how many know who their teachers were? And how many know their teachers' great achievements and works?" Zhou Wen continued slowly, "Every profession has its specializations. A good teacher isn't necessarily one who is exceptionally strong. The measure of a teacher's quality lies in the kind of students they teach."
"So, the students you've taught are quite impressive. I wonder which one on the Rubik's Cube rankings is your student? Is it the Immortal? Or the Saint?" The girl continued sarcastically, "There's not a single human on the list. I wonder which alien race is your student?"
Everyone around glared at the girl, and now everyone knew that she was deliberately making trouble.
Zhou Wen was not angry. He still smiled and looked at the girl and said, "Since you think so, how about we make a bet?"
"How do we bet?" the girl asked.
"If my disciple's name appears on the Rubik's Cube rankings, you must sincerely worship me as your master and perform the ceremony of worshipping me in front of everyone. Do you dare to bet?" Zhou Wen looked at the girl and asked.
"Okay, but if you lose, I don't want you to worship me as your master. I want you to kneel down in front of me in public and worship me as your master." When the girl said this, everyone was furious.
Zhou Wen's reputation in the city was so high that, let alone Li Xuan and the others, even the substitute members of the city guard who had just passed the test wanted to rush over and slap the girl twice.
The girl seemed not to notice the angry looks of those people at all, and just looked at Zhou Wen with contempt. She knew very well the origins of those alien races on the list, and there was no way that Zhou Wen's students were among them.
"Okay." Zhou Wen waved his hand to stop the commotion and gave the girl an affirmative answer.
The girl was a little surprised and curled her lips. "Then please point out to me which one is your student. Don't just randomly point to someone and get away with it. That won't work for me. I have plenty of ways to prove it."
"Proof shouldn't be necessary." Zhou Wen pointed at Mingxiu and said to the girl, "Do you think he is my student?"
"So what if he's your student?" the girl frowned.
"Then let his name appear on the rankings." Zhou Wen said calmly.
After hearing what Zhou Wen said, Mingxiu stood up and walked out without waiting for Zhou Wen to say anything else. In a few steps, he was out of the square and headed towards the location of the Rubik's Cube in the city.
The girl immediately understood what Zhou Wen was planning and sneered, "That's quite a plot, but I'm afraid your students will die in vain."
Zhou Wen just smiled and said nothing more. He led everyone to the location of the Rubik's Cube. The girl and Xiao also followed.
Since the dimensional realm of the other world was opened, no human has crossed the misty lake and reached the golden apple tree. Seeing the golden apples being picked by aliens one by one makes many humans very depressed.
"Why hasn't anyone stepped forward to challenge us at this point? Where have those self-proclaimed invincible human war gods gone? Is even the Human Emperor scared? Is the other dimension really that scary?" A young man was watching a live broadcast while posting comments to vent his dissatisfaction.
Su Yi, who was hosting the program, saw many similar comments and said in a heavy voice, "Professor Gu, there are only a few golden apples left. Do you think we humans still have a chance to pick them?"
Professor Gu pondered for a moment and said, "Several renowned human warriors have attempted this before, but they couldn't even cross the Misty Lake. This shows how terrifying the otherworldly realm is, far surpassing even that within Earth's universe. Given humanity's current strength, only a handful of the strongest have a chance of conquering it and claiming the Golden Apple. However, such an existence is the most precious treasure to us humans, so how can we risk it so easily? Staying away is the best option."
"Is it possible that even the Human Emperor is not completely sure?" Su Yi asked again.
"Impulse is the devil. No matter whether you are sure or not, there is no need to take risks. Keep yourself useful so that you can do more meaningful and valuable things in the future. I personally think that the choices made by the Human Emperor and all the powerful human beings are not wrong. This is the correct choice..." Professor Gu was speaking when he suddenly saw the Rubik's Cube light up.
"Someone broke through...it's a human..."
"Oh my god, who is that person? I don't think I've seen him before!"
"I seem to have some impression of him, his name is something like Moonlight Swordsman..."
"Idiot, he's the Swordsman of Tomorrow. He's quite famous over there, but he's still a long way behind the top masters like Mo He. How did he get in?"
"Tomorrow's Swordsman? Isn't that Ming Xiu from the Ming family? I heard that he has taken refuge with a younger brother of the An family. Why did An Tianzuo push him out instead of going himself? Isn't this just asking him to die?"
People were talking about it, and quite a few people recognized Mingxiu, but most people didn't know that he had become Zhou Wen's disciple.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Mingxiu entered the misty lake and floated above the surface. He was surrounded by thick fog and could hardly see his hand in front of him.
"The Tomorrow Swordsman's Tomorrow Swordsmanship is quite famous, but can his Tomorrow Swordsmanship break through the strange fog?" Su Yi explained while staring at the Rubik's Cube screen.
"The fog should be a kind of rule-based force that cannot be broken by physical attacks. No matter how good your swordsmanship is, it will be useless..." Professor Gu was speaking when he saw Mingxiu draw out a sword.
Mingxiu looked straight ahead, drew his sword and stabbed it directly. The sword slowly stabbed forward, and his body moved with the sword. Man and sword became one and rushed forward.
His sword had no earth-shattering momentum, nor any brilliant sword light. It was more like a graceful swordsman flying on a sword, performing some kind of artistic sword dance.
