55: Two choices

Are there few people with exceptional talent? Very few.

But with a global population of billions, are geniuses lacking? Not at all.

How many geniuses perished on the path of growth? He was not like his elder brother, Hong, who would let his Disciples grow up in a relatively stable environment.

There are only wrongly called names, never wrongly given nicknames; his training for the geniuses of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School was always exceptionally cruel.

"To wear the crown, one must bear its weight."

"Kid Qiao, since you have become my Personal Disciple, then congratulations, welcome to Hell!"

Thunder God grinned, his smile appearing like that of a demon, full of ill intent.

"From this moment on, you will be stripped of all resources, and you will use a path even more arduous and dangerous than the Great Nirvana Period as a means to train yourself."

"During this period, you can only roam the Wilderness Area alone, without the assistance of teammates; even if you die, no one will come to save you. Only when you have completely wiped out all the monsters in an entire city will you be able to come out!"

There was a playful look in Thunder God's eyes; he knew this was an impossible mission.

Sure enough, Zhuge Tao and Wang Heng were both shocked.

"Director-General, you are not training a Disciple; you are murdering someone! I firmly object!"

Wang Heng's eyes widened, his words filled with disbelief.

One must know that even a small County-level City possesses countless monsters; not to mention ten million, a count of one million is definitely more than enough. And to have one person wipe out all the monsters in an entire city, that would only be possible if one reached the War God Level, and even then, only to wipe out a city without any Lord-level Monster.

Furthermore, this War God would still need to use some technological means to wipe out the countless Beast Soldier-level Monsters. Relying solely on a Martial Artist's Physical Body to wipe out over a million Beast Soldier-level Monsters is no different from a pipe dream.

Zhuge Tao was equally indignant, completely unable to understand what Thunder God's intention was in doing this. With Qiao Yu's talent, becoming a War God Level Expert was only a matter of time; why exercise him in such a way that offered ten deaths and no life?

"I also do not agree! Lord Thunder God, even if you are the worlds second strongest person and the Director-General of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School, you cannot treat human life like grass!"

Martial Artists possess privileges, their rights overriding those of ordinary people, and as the worlds second strongest person, Thunder God absolutely had the ability to wipe out an entire human army with a wave of his hand.

The success of one general is built upon the bones of ten thousand; how many humans had silently supported Thunder God behind the scenes for him to reach his current standing?

As for the person involved, Qiao Yu, upon hearing this so-called Hell-level test from Thunder God, he was completely stunned.

How is this Hell? This is simply Heaven.

For any other Martial Artist, this would definitely be a death sentence, but he had the System! He was just worrying about how to enter the Wilderness Area, which required forming a team, and forming a team meant having to hide his fungal swarm from others.

Thunder God was about to throw him alone into a place full of monsters with not a single human around; wasn't that like throwing a sheep into a tiger's den? And he was the tiger.

Moreover, until now, he hadn't tried the power of the fungal swarm with full capacity in the Wilderness Area. If it were a city like County-level City No. 0201, which only had Beast General Level monsters and no Lord-level Monster, wouldn't he just be slaughtering them left and right?

Seeing the opposition from the two major supervisors, as well as the 'dumbstruck' Qiao Yu, Thunder God nodded inwardly.

He naturally knew this was an impossible task that no one would accept, and he could use this opportunity to propose another, softer option.

The Art of Reading People—when you want the other party to agree to an excessive condition of yours, you must first propose an even more excessive condition, and then state your original condition. With the comparison, the probability of the other party agreeing will greatly increase.

And Thunder God's other condition was to have Qiao Yu reveal the secret regarding his nascent Domain, letting Qiao Yu assist him in his Cultivate.

He had long studied Qiao Yu's file; Qiao Yu during high school could be said to be completely a trash... an ordinary person. He had spent three years in Cultivate and didn't even have the qualifications to become a Martial Artist.

Yet, within these few short months, he had directly grown to his current Elementary Warlord Level. This speed of growth was so similar to Hong.

Thunder God was also a human from the Great Nirvana Period, but he had always been exceptionally talented. Although his current Realm strength surpassed Hong, Hong, who possessed a Domain, was an invincible existence at the Planetary Level.

And while he considered himself a Genius, he had never been able to reach the same level as Hong regarding the Domain.

"Kid Qiao, if you cannot accept it, you can also listen to another..."

"I accept! I agree! I approve with both hands and feet! A master's order is hard to disobey; since you have taken me as your Personal Disciple, then even if I am smashed to pieces, I will not refuse!"

Before Thunder God could finish speaking, Qiao Yu raised both hands high, indicating his full agreement, his face bearing a resolute expression, like a death soldier ready to die heroically.

"No, kid, how can you still agree? I really didn't intend to send you to your death!"

Thunder God looked dumbfounded; why was this guy not playing by the rules?

Zhuge Tao and Wang Heng, who were still indignant, hurriedly stepped forward to cover Qiao Yu's mouth the moment he agreed.

As managers of the martial arts school, how could they not love talent? How could they not cherish talent? It was impossible for them to watch Qiao Yu go to his death.

"Qiao Yu, matters of life and death are not child's play!"

Zhuge Tao persuaded him, looking as though he wished iron could turn into steel.

Wang Heng even rarely shouted at Thunder God:

"Director-General, the current strength of my Thunderbolt Martial Arts School was cultivated by you single-handedly. Clearly, there is already such a mature training process under your command that you do not implement, yet you want to impulsively start another set of methods. I am truly a bit disappointed!"

Thunder God also didn't expect his capable lieutenant to be so hysterical; this was the first time.

But he really didn't mean to let Qiao Yu go to his death; he just needed time to state the second option.

As long as Qiao Yu could assist him in cultivating a Domain, he could truly personally, without reservation, and in every detail, teach Qiao Yu.

"No, no, no, listen to me, there is a second, better path to choose!"

"Qiao Yu, as long as you take your sec..."

Before Thunder God's words were finished again, Qiao Yu pried open the palm Wang Heng was using to cover his mouth and said loudly.

"No! I agree to your first path! A scholar cannot be without broad perseverance; the burden is heavy and the road is long. You must be testing my character."

"I must choose the first path, to let the world know that Thunder God's Personal Disciple is no coward! Why is it impossible for one person to wipe out a monster city? In the future, I will wipe out all the monsters on the entire Earth! Return to us humans a bright and clear world!"

Thunder God was speechless; not listening to human words was one thing, but now he wasn't even speaking human words himself.
