Swallowing the Stars: Shocking! The Giant Axe Wants to Become My Apprentice

Chapter 38 I never had any expectations of him to begin with.

The entire training room has bookshelves on all four walls containing more than ten thousand books.

"Luo Feng, you're now a planetary-level being!"

"Therefore, the manuals on these two shelves are what you will be practicing in the future. The top shelf is about martial arts, and the bottom shelf is about mental cultivation."

"A powerful mentalist must also have a powerful body; physical strength and the ability to exert force both require training."

"Similarly, a martial artist's spirit and consciousness cannot be too weak. Zhou Ze should be very clear about the importance of spirit."

Babata gave a mocking smile: "The reason he's stuck at the apprentice level is because his mental strength doesn't meet the minimum requirements."

Zhou Ze remained calm. There was nothing he could do; he lacked the talent of a mentalist but had awakened mental power.

"Babata, I think the teacher has a very strong will and spirit, right?" Luo Feng asked, somewhat puzzled.

Babata wagged his tail and said, "Mental strength includes consciousness and mental power. His consciousness is good, but his mental power doesn't even meet the minimum standard..."

Babata looked disgusted.

"It's easy to imagine that he'll be stuck with psychic powers for the rest of his life!"

Babata, somewhat speechless, said, "He's a bit of an oddball. Logically speaking, with such a low brain capacity, it's impossible for him to awaken psychic powers, yet he did!"

Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled: "Babata, it shouldn't be that bad. The reason why it was difficult to improve mental power in the past was because we on Earth didn't have a method for cultivating mental power."

"Now that we have received Master Huyanbo's teachings, we have a method for cultivating spiritual power, which should greatly accelerate our improvement of spiritual power!"

Babata floated in the air: "You don't understand. For psychic practitioners, the breadth of their brain often represents their aptitude for cultivating psychic power."

"The wider one's innate brain capacity, the better their aptitude for cultivating mental power, and the better their ability to absorb cosmic energy and convert it into mental power!"

"Take you and Zhou Ze for example. Your brain capacity is several times that of Zhou Ze, and your speed in cultivating mental power is many times faster than his!"

"Even if he learned the methods of cultivating mental power and cultivated directly using the Wood Crystal, his speed would still be slower than yours without using any auxiliary treasures. Do you understand, you haven't learned any methods of cultivating mental power?"

Luo Feng glanced at Zhou Ze and nodded.

"Luo Feng, your physical attributes are currently at the peak of the apprentice level, and your consciousness is also sufficient. Breaking through to the planetary level will be easy for you. You can begin your breakthrough in a moment!"

Babata smiled and pointed to the floor below, saying:

"This level below is for mentalists. Master has achieved great success in martial arts cultivation, but his attainments in mentalism are even greater."

"The spiritual master legacy he left you is mainly divided into the 'Control Chapter,' the 'Illusion Chapter,' and the 'Miscellaneous Chapter,' each of which is very complex and profound."

"These traditions are unique even in the universe!"

"Of course, these inheritances are very difficult to begin with. However, Luo Feng, you have your master's inherited soul imprint, which will make cultivation much easier. As for Zhou Ze..."

"I never had any expectations of him as a psychic!"

As Babata spoke, he came to Zhou Ze's side, circled around him, and tapped his chest with his hand.

Just as Zhou Ze was about to grab his tail, Babata slipped away again.

Luo Feng asked in surprise, "Soul Imprint? What's that? How come I don't know about it?"

With a wave of her little hand, Babata produced a recliner, which she then lay down on, rocking back and forth contentedly, like a baby in a cradle.

"When I first came into contact with you, I merged my soul imprint into your body. It silently merged into your soul and changed your mental power."

"I estimate you'll have mastered the basics in about 3 hours."

Zhou Ze was unimpressed by Babata's occasional deliberate mockery.

You'll see what it means to be self-righteous later.

Babata crossed his legs on the recliner, waved his hand, and a large apple appeared in his hand. He then began to eat it with gusto.

"Luo Feng, from now on, you will primarily cultivate in this training room. And today, we will determine your future path!"

"No matter what you do, you need a concrete plan so that you can go far and steady, and not waste time and energy on useless things."

"But I can only offer advice; you need to make the decision yourself!"

"Yes, I understand." Luo Feng nodded.

"First, you must take martial arts training seriously and never neglect it!"

"Secondly, the 'Control Chapter' and the 'Illusion Chapter' are both fundamental, and you must learn them. As for the Miscellaneous Chapters, they are the essence of my Meteorite Star lineage. You are a successor of my Meteorite Star, and you need to learn these as well."

"As for whether you will become a master of manipulation or an illusionist in the future, that's up to you."

"Third, you need to set aside some time to learn the universal language from me."

Luo Feng glanced at the densely packed books on the bookshelf and felt a chill run down his spine:

"Learning the common language is one thing, but with so many books, just reading them would take forever, let alone learning, mastering, and using them!"

"But for martial arts training, I'm a mentalist, so developing a strong body is enough, right? As for other aspects... at most, I'll train my movement techniques to fly kites, but the others aren't that important."

After speaking, Luo Feng glanced at Zhou Ze again.

"Shortsighted!" Babata tossed the apple core away and snorted.

"There are two main factions in the universe: martial artists and mentalists! It depends on who is stronger, but mentalists have more complex and unpredictable methods."

"Didn't I just say that if a martial artist wants to break through and improve, they must pay attention to 'spirit and will'? And if a mentalist wants to improve, they must also pay attention to 'body and genetic energy'?"

"Zhou Ze got stuck because he couldn't keep up mentally!"

Babata glanced at Zhou Ze with a mocking look, while Zhou Ze remained calm.

Luo Feng was a little annoyed. This Babata had been alone for too long and had developed some problems. He kept bringing up his teacher's shortcomings and criticizing him.

Babata, feeling bored, looked at Luo Feng again and said:

"You may not feel it now, but at the cosmic level, especially for domain lords and realm lords, the requirements are extremely high in terms of spirit, will, primal energy, body, and realm!"

Luo Feng frowned and said, "Babata, you said it yourself, all we need is primal energy and the body. Those power-generating attack methods and the like are indeed not important."

"It's not that I'm unwilling to learn, but people's energy and time are limited. There are only 24 hours in a day. Even if I could go without eating, drinking, or resting right now..."

Luo Feng spread his hands, gesturing towards the densely packed books around him:

"You should also understand that it's a big no-no to have a lot of things but not a lot of them! Besides, you said yourself that you absolutely must learn the 'Miscellaneous Chapters,' as well as the 'Control Chapter' and the 'Illusion Chapter,' which are also essential!"

"I have to learn this and that, I just don't have enough time and energy!"

Babata glared, furious, and was about to say something when Zhou Ze spoke up.
