After speaking with the system, Zhou Xingdou slowly descended from the heavens and returned to Xiao Tianzuo's villa. Only now did he realize that Xiao Tianzuo's villa was not in the bustling city or the city center, but in a mountain range.
Although Zhou Xingdou has lost his cultivation, his soul is gone, and he has no divine sense to use.
But with his amazing perception and pupil power alone, he was able to sense that there was no human habitation for thousands of miles around, and not a single place where Xiao Tianzuo lived.
This made Zhou Xingdou curious about this chosen one of the world again. However, what intrigued Zhou Xingdou even more at this moment was that Xiao Tianzuo had actually entered a state of enlightenment, and the heavy power condensed on his body was five or six parts similar to the power of his Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Force Giant Elephant Realm!
"Just because I broke through, he suddenly comprehended the power of the ancient giant elephant? The Child of the World is indeed abnormal."
Even Stephen Chow couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Xiao Tianzuo's comprehension is truly astonishing. Even Zhou Xingdou, like the system, can't help but feel a little admiration for this chosen one of the world.
At this moment, Xiao Tianzuo slowly awoke and exited the state of enlightenment. The instant he looked into his eyes, he saw Zhou Xingdou's solitary, godlike figure.
But he was not alarmed; instead, he showed delight and said:
"Brother, you've fully recovered! That's wonderful!"
As soon as he said it, Xiao Tianzuo suddenly realized that his way of addressing her seemed inappropriate.
After all, the strength that Zhou Xingdou displayed at that time had far exceeded his understanding, so it was really inappropriate to call him a brother.
So he quickly changed his address, cupped his fists and bowed to Zhou Xingdou, saying:
"No, it should be Senior. Junior Xiao Tianzu greets Senior."
Zhou Xingdou naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against Xiao Tianzuo over such trivial matters as titles, especially since he wasn't much older than Xiao Tianzuo.
"Did you just have an epiphany?"
Zhou Xingdou's expression was indifferent. With his cultivation gone, the purple aura in his silver eyes had disappeared, but they appeared even more profound and powerful, inspiring endless fear in anyone who looked into them.
But Xiao Tianzuo was different. He didn't seem to be afraid of Zhou Xingdou's eyes. Instead, he scratched his head sheepishly and nodded, saying:
"I gained some insight when I saw the extraordinary phenomena that occurred when my senior recovered."
Zhou Xingdou sized up Xiao Tianzuo, his eyes darkening, his voice growing colder as he said:
"Do you know that stealing someone else's martial arts techniques is a deadly enmity!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianzuo's initially joyful expression froze, and he looked around in a panic, inwardly realizing that something terrible had happened.
He never expected that his sudden enlightenment would provoke Zhou Xingdou's anger. Moreover, he did not do it intentionally. He had been guarding Zhou Xingdou for ten days, watching the divine image and strange phenomena picture. He entered a state of enlightenment in a daze. He did not intentionally steal the picture.
Xiao Tianzuo hurriedly explained:
"Senior, please don't be angry. This junior had an epiphany by accident and didn't know I would comprehend your technique. I will destroy this energy now!"
At this moment, the voice from the ancient bronze ring in his hand also let out a cold snort and transmitted its message to Xiao Tianzuo:
"Hmph! I knew you were letting a wolf into the house, blind to save this person!"
Just then, Zhou Xingdou's eyes fell on the bronze ancient ring on Xiao Tianzuo's hand, and his voice was slightly cold as he said:
"Shut up, you old hag! You have no right to interrupt me!"
This startled both Xiao Tianzuo, who was preparing to destroy that power, and the voice within the bronze ring.
Because no one could ever overhear their conversation, and no one ever discovered the soul within Xiao Tianzuo's ring.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingdou discovered them today, and not only did he discover the existence of the bronze ancient ring, but he also overheard the voice transmitted from the bronze ancient ring to Xiao Tianzuo. How could the two not be shocked!
Zhou Xingdou, however, paid no attention to Xiao Tianzuo's shock and continued in a deep voice:
"What's the use of destroying that power? The insights are within your mind; you can rebuild them whenever you want!"
The deep, chilling voice that sent a chill down Xiao Tianzuo's spine brought him back to his senses. Hearing Zhou Xingdou's words, a hint of unease crossed Xiao Tianzuo's face.
"This...this...this...you can't just cut off my head, can you?"
The soul within the ancient bronze ring, still somewhat doubtful about whether Zhou Xingdou truly sensed her presence, immediately probed with a furious shout:
"Why should I be afraid of him? He's just an ungrateful scoundrel. At worst, I'll unleash all my power and escape with you!"
Zhou Xingdou glanced indifferently at the bronze ring on Xiao Tianzuo's hand again and said deeply:
"You? You can't take him away!"
Xiao Tianzuo suddenly spoke up again at this moment:
"Why go to such lengths? Senior, do you know any methods for erasing memories? I can cooperate by opening my mind and having you erase them yourself."
Zhou Xingdou looked into Xiao Tianzuo's eyes, and the firmness and slight helplessness in them proved that his words were not empty talk.
This prompted him to remind himself:
"Do you know that if you open your mind and allow others to invade it, all your memories and secrets will be exposed? Moreover, if someone is proficient in the art of the mind, they can even modify your memories with ease?"
Xiao Tianzuo's eyes were clear, showing no hostility or fear towards Zhou Xingdou. He smiled slightly and said:
"I believe you're not a bad person. I should have helped you in some way, so you shouldn't hurt me."
As he spoke, Xiao Tianzuo immediately spread his hands, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind, waiting for Zhou Xingdou's actions.
The soul within the ancient bronze ring could no longer remain still and immediately began to revive its power.
But just as she was about to speak to stop Xiao Tianzuo from releasing his sea of consciousness, Zhou Xingdou's face revealed a hint of mockery:
"There's no need for such trouble; I have a better way."
As he spoke, the coldness on Zhou Xingdou's face dissipated, and his voice softened slightly:
"By becoming my disciple, you will not only be spared the loss of your memories, but I will also impart to you this supreme martial art!"
Zhou Xingdou's words undoubtedly caused Xiao Tianzuo and the soul in the bronze ring to pause for a moment, stunned.
The turn of events was too sudden, and Xiao Tianzuo's overly normal mind was momentarily caught off guard.
Zhou Xingdou showed no leniency towards Xiao Tianzuo, simply saying:
"I'll only give you ten breaths to consider."
To be honest, if Xiao Tianzuo hadn't truly done him a favor, Zhou Xingdou wouldn't have even considered taking him as a disciple, no matter how talented he was.
If Xiao Tianzuo were to become his disciple, that would be fine; if he were to become Zhou Xingdou's disciple, it would be a way for Zhou Xingdou to repay his debt of gratitude.
If he is unwilling to become Zhou Xingdou's disciple, Zhou Xingdou will not force him. However, he is also lacking in luck. Although he has never dealt with the World's Chosen One, it is not impossible to give it a try. He can only ask the World's Chosen One to make do.
The soul within the ancient bronze ring was the first to regain its senses. Although Zhou Xingdou had cursed her as an old hag and scolded her several times, at this moment she immediately spoke up to remind Xiao Tianzuo:
"Quickly! Perform the apprenticeship ceremony."
