Breaking Through the Illusion, Obtaining the Inheritance!

Chapter 20 Breaking Through the Illusion, Obtaining the Inheritance!

The final trial!

Gu Ce is now certain that this place is where some force selects its disciples, and he has just been chosen. If he successfully passes this trial, he will be able to become a successor of some force, just like Luo Feng.

I just don't know what kind of power the original owner of this place had.

However, even if it's the worst, it should still be able to get me to the universe, right?

Compared to the vast universe, Earth is not even a small puddle; it will only hinder Gu Ce's growth.

The final trial of inheritance has begun. This is a test of willpower; if one succumbs to it, the trial participant will never be able to escape.

"Um?"

As soon as this line of text appeared, Gu Ce felt a wave of dizziness.

This is……

Illusion?

No matter how hard Gu Ce tried to hold on, his eyelids still closed heavily.

……

"Gu Ce!"

A piece of chalk hit Gu Ce precisely on the head, waking him from his sleep.

Gu Ce opened his eyes and stood up from the back of the classroom, looking bewildered. He found a woman in her forties with black-rimmed glasses and a face full of wrinkles staring at him, her face full of anger!

"You dare to sleep in my class! Come on, do that problem on the blackboard! If you can't, I'll contact your parents to come and take you home!" the woman said angrily. Gu Ce remembered that this was his math teacher.

The students around her were trying not to laugh, but because of the "old witch's" imposing presence, they dared not laugh out loud and could only lower their heads to look at their desks.

This table is really a table!

Gu Ce walked up to the blackboard in a daze, staring blankly at the questions on it.

He remembered.

This is Jiangnan No.1 High School. I am currently in the second semester of my first year of high school, and the final exams are in a few days.

"What are you still standing there for!"

The old witch sneered from behind.

"If you don't want to listen to the lesson, get out! I'll have your homeroom teacher contact your parents and have them take you home to sleep. Don't disturb the other students' lessons!" the old witch continued, but then she saw Gu Ce suddenly turn around. His 1.91-meter height and indifferent gaze stared at her, and she was taken aback.

"What are you going to do? Try to hit me? Fine!" Although the old witch was a little scared and took a step back, she still wouldn't let Gu Ce off the hook.

Gu Ce ignored her, turned his head, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Finish the problem on the blackboard as quickly as possible, then flick the chalk away.

Gu Ce turned around and, in front of the whole class, kicked the old witch away!

"Gu Ce, are you crazy! How dare you lay a hand on a teacher!" The male students near the podium helped the old witch up, and some even ran out of the classroom, causing a commotion.

Is it not an illusion?

No, it's an illusion!

Seeing the security team that appeared at the classroom door in just ten seconds, Gu Ce suddenly understood.

The assessment probably started much earlier!

Stay true to yourself!

Gu Ce closed his eyes, letting the guards walk towards him.

The illusion shattered the next moment!

……

"Gu Ce?"

Gu Ce opened his eyes and saw a cute girl with a smile in front of him, extending her fair little hand to him.

Cherry blossom petals fell from above, creating a special atmosphere. There was a hint of ambiguity between the two. The girl's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she was a little afraid to look Gu Ce in the eye.

"You are... Chen Xiaxuan?" Gu Ce was taken aback.

Such a distant memory.

Gu Ce has now recalled everything, but he still seems to be in a dream world.

This is... what he experienced before he traveled to the Swallowed Star world!

He was only sixteen years old that year.

"What a pity," Gu Ce said regretfully.

"What?" Chen Xiaxuan asked in confusion.

"It's nothing," Gu Ce said with a calm smile, standing up.

One punch, and it's shattered!

How could a mere illusion hinder my path to becoming stronger?

What's fake will always be fake.

……

"Gu Ce!"

……

"Gu Ce?"

……

"Gu Ce..."

……

The blue, jelly-like slime stared in surprise at Gu Ce in the room.

"Such unwavering willpower? Staying true to oneself, absolutely self-reliant... even the master couldn't do that!"

"This is amazing! To encounter such a genius on this planet, with a little nurturing, he might be able to compete in the next Virtual Universe Company Genius Battle! I just wonder how good his talent for laws is."

"Mastering the essence at the apprentice level is rare even in the universe, but it's not enough in a battle of geniuses."

"Judging from his ability to decipher that movement technique, his spatial talent should be quite good. However, if he wants to enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company, he must at least cross the threshold of the fundamental laws of space. Hmm... with proper training, he should have a chance."

At this moment, Gu Ce was still confronting the robot inside the room.

From the very beginning, he was already trapped in an illusion!

Layer upon layer of illusions, intertwined with each other.

If one becomes trapped in it, one will never be able to wake up.

The next instant, Gu Ce opened his eyes and swung his Frost Sword.

One sword strike, and the head is severed!

The robot's head flew up and fell to the ground, but its body continued to attack.

However, Gu Ce is now a completely different person from before.

Wave Sword Technique!

When he unleashed his sword techniques, standing opposite Gu Ce was like facing the ocean, with the essence of water contained within him.

The waves are crashing in!

boom!

The first sword strike decapitated the robot.

The second sword strike cleaved the robot vertically in two!

Congratulations to the participant for passing the final assessment!

"Indeed, you are qualified to become your master's successor!"

A blue slime phantom appeared out of thin air, jumped in front of Gu Ce, and spoke earnestly.

"I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but don't rush, let me finish explaining."

"In the universe, there are many different civilizations and life forms. The so-called warriors and war gods on your Earth are only at the apprentice level. Even you are currently at the ninth level of apprentice. And above the apprentice level, there are..."

The blue slime chattered on and on, talking about many common-sense facts about the universe. It seemed to have been a long time since it had spoken to anyone and was quite excited.

(￣ ▽ ￣)

Gu Ce didn't interrupt it, and just listened quietly.

"In the universe, there are six top races, and my human race is one of them. The human race has five major powers, and my master is the strongest of these five powers, a core member of the Virtual Universe Company, and a genius world master of the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm!" the blue slime said proudly.

"How is he now?" Gu Ce asked.

"My master has fallen because of his arrogance... I'll tell you about that later. Confidence is a good thing, but confidence that exceeds your capabilities is a bad thing. You should pay more attention to that in the future." The blue slime said with some sadness, glancing at Gu Ce.

"I was born with intelligence about forty years ago, evolving from ordinary intelligence into intelligent life. Before I met you, I planned to leave this planet and enter the universe to find a successor for my master. But after meeting you, I decided to pass on my master's legacy to you."

"Well, you don't need to become the master's disciple. This was what the master instructed before he passed away. He only hoped that you could inherit his secret techniques and so on... You can call him the Lord of the Ice Wasteland Realm."

"Next, I will recognize you as my master, and you will put on this intelligent light brain."

A wristband-shaped quantum computer appeared in front of Gu Ce.

Gu Ce put it on and asked, "Do you have a name?"

The slime was taken aback. "No."

"How about we call you Rimuru?" Gu Ce suggested.

This image looks so much like a certain blue slime, even the voice is similar.

"Great! I have a name now!"

Rimuru seemed somewhat excited, his phantom bouncing on the ground, and the way he looked at Gu Ce changed.

(☆▽☆)

"Master, this spaceship was built by F9-class Frost Jade Silver Mother. It still has a lot of energy left over, enough for us to travel into space!" Rimuru suggested.

"Just call me Gu Ce. As for going to space, that's not urgent for now," Gu Ce said.

According to his thinking, he would only go to the universe after he broke through to the planetary level and mastered the domain, and had some means of self-protection at the planetary level.

According to the original plan, it would take about a year.

By then, Luo Feng will at least be at the level of an invincible war god. Then we'll take him to Babata, and from there we'll travel to the universe. After he gets stronger in the universe, we'll come back to deal with the Golden Horned Beast.

Of course, now that we have Rimuru, we don't need to worry about Babata anymore.

Plans have changed!

"Did your previous owner leave any inheritance?" Gu Ce asked curiously.

The signed contract has been sent out! φ(゜▽゜*)
