Chapter 287: Qianwu Dojo

After leaving the slave market, Luo Feng quickly rushed towards his final destination in Qiulong City — the Qianwu Dojo!

“Ba Bata insisted that I register at the Qianwu Dojo,” Luo Feng thought as he stood before the gates of a colossal city.

Yes!

This was a city within a city. The Qianwu Dojo on Qiulong Star was the largest and highest-ranking among nearly a hundred star systems nearby. It gathered a massive number of students. The entire Qianwu Dojo spanned a diameter of 280 kilometers, a testament to its grandeur!

“Golden leaves?” Luo Feng looked up at the main entrance of the Qianwu Dojo.

The massive gate bore four grand words in Universal Galactic Script — ‘Qianwu Dojo’ — exquisitely written in flowing calligraphy. Surrounding these four words were ornate carvings of golden leaves.

At the main entrance, numerous Qianwu Dojo students came and went. Without any guards, Luo Feng simply followed the other students and entered.

“So many!”

“So grand!”

At a glance, he saw a massive plaza in the distance, teeming with at least tens of thousands of students engaged in one-on-one sparring and group training. The collective training of tens of thousands of students resembled a sea of people, delivering a powerful visual impact. Not a single student here was below the Stellar Level!

“No wonder it’s the best Qianwu Dojo in over a hundred star systems nearby,” Luo Feng mused.

Before arriving, Ba Bata had thoroughly explained the Qianwu Dojo to Luo Feng.

It was a martial and mentalist ‘school’ of the Qianwu Galactic Empire, serving as a crucial channel for recruiting numerous warriors and mentalists. The Qianwu Galactic Empire strictly forbade any other ‘academies’ or ‘dojos’ from spreading teachings across its vast territory spanning hundreds of millions of star systems in a major star region.

Within the Qianwu Galactic Empire, there was only one Qianwu Dojo!

Of course, if a Domain Lord or World God established their own disciples on their planets, the Qianwu Galactic Empire would not interfere.

However!

Domain Lords, World Gods, and even Eternal warriors were strictly prohibited from constructing martial academies and widely accepting disciples on various planets.

“This Qianwu Dojo actually has three Qianwu Practitioners!” Luo Feng observed the three statues facing the main gate.

They were three human warriors!

The carvings depicted three humans, all clad in deep purple battle robes, each with a golden leaf embroidered on their sleeves.

A single-leaf Qianwu Practitioner!

“One Qianwu Dojo on a single planet already has three Cosmic-Level instructors. The Qianwu Dojo in the capital of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire must have even stronger faculty. If we consider all the Qianwu Dojos across the Qianwu Galactic Empire’s hundreds of millions of star systems…” Luo Feng couldn’t help but marvel, “The power of the Qianwu Dojo is truly terrifying.”

The Qianwu Dojo:

Stellar Level — Ordinary students.

Constant Star Level — Elite students, with the qualification to be hired as ‘instructors.’ Some ordinary planets were managed by instructors of the Qianwu Dojo.

Cosmic Level — Entered the esteemed ranks of the ‘Qianwu Practitioners,’ becoming a single-leaf Qianwu Practitioner!

Domain Lord — Double-leaf Qianwu Practitioner!

World God — Triple-leaf Qianwu Practitioner!

Thus, within the Qianwu Dojo, earning the title of ‘Qianwu Practitioner’ and embroidering a golden leaf on one’s sleeve was the ultimate honor.

“Your master’s biggest flaw was being too solitary!”

“This was something your master admitted before his death. If he had joined a major force, such as the ‘Qianwu Galactic Empire,’ he would certainly have held a high position within the Empire’s ‘Eternal warrior group.’ In that case, the murderer would not have dared to kill your master so brazenly.”

“Your master’s final advice!”

“Without sufficient strength, it’s better to stick with a group. Even the mightiest hero needs three allies. Moreover, within the territory of the Qianwu Galactic Empire, joining the Qianwu Dojo would make many future endeavors much easier. Besides, the Qianwu Dojo imposes no great restrictions on Qianwu Practitioners. Sigh, back then, the Master was just too solitary, too solitary… He had no friends, no group!”

Ba Bata’s voice carried a hint of melancholy and bitterness.

Luo Feng sighed deeply.

According to Ba Bata’s description, his teacher must have been a rather reclusive person.

…

Inside the Qianwu Dojo on Qiulong Star, within an office building.

Knock, knock, knock. Luo Feng knocked on the door.

“Come in,” a hoarse voice replied, and the door opened automatically.

Inside sat an elderly green-skinned man with long white beard and eyebrows reaching his waist. As the old man looked up, Luo Feng smiled and said, “I’m here to register.”

“Register?” The old man glanced at him.

Beep.

A nearby display screen immediately showed a string of data: Luo Feng’s name, nationality, strength level, and more.

“You’re Luo Feng?” The old man nodded slightly. “Stellar Level Eight mentalist? Nationality of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire? Very well, the registration fee is 800 Black Dragon Credits. Additionally, you must pay 10 Black Dragon Credits annually to continue receiving many of our Qianwu Dojo’s educational services.”

“I understand.” Luo Feng nodded slightly.

The true largest Qianwu Dojo actually existed within the ‘Virtual Universe.’

However, the Virtual Universe also had unavoidable limitations.

“Here is 1000 Black Dragon Credits.” Luo Feng took out a large denomination note. “800 for the registration fee, and 20 years’ worth of annual fees.”

“Hmm.”

The old man nodded slightly and quickly processed Luo Feng’s registration.

The Qianwu Dojo was a crucial channel for recruiting countless talents across the universe. Therefore, as long as one reached the minimum requirement of Stellar Level, registration was completely barrier-free! No testing, no additional requirements… Of course, if one was not a citizen of the Qianwu Galactic Empire, the process would be slightly more complicated.

“Thank you.” Luo Feng smiled and departed.

His information had already been entered.

From this moment on, Luo Feng officially became a student of the Qianwu Dojo. Future matters would be much simpler and easier to handle.

“The Qianwu Dojo on Qiulong Star?” Luo Feng walked out of the Dojo’s entrance, glancing back with a smile. “Probably won’t have much chance to come here again.” He glanced at the tens of thousands of students engaged in collective sparring and training. As for martial cultivation, Luo Feng had no interest in the teachings of the Qianwu Dojo.

He had the secret transmissions of the Yimo Star lineage!

Perhaps the core secret transmissions of the Qianwu Dojo could surpass those of the Yimo Star lineage. However… even World Gods within the Qianwu Dojo might not necessarily have access to such precious teachings.

“Huh?” Outside the main entrance of the Dojo, a student looked at Luo Feng’s retreating figure in puzzlement.

“What’s wrong, Weilin?” The other two asked in confusion.

“That person just now seems to be the kid we met at the restaurant who had two mental force weapons.” Weilin frowned slightly.

“You’re sure?” The other two were startled.

“Absolutely sure!”

Weilin suddenly smirked. “Hmph, since he’s at the Qianwu Dojo, things will be easier. I’ll make some arrangements later to find out more about this kid! Hmph, how dare he defy me at the restaurant!”

…

Above Qiulong City, Luo Feng flew alongside many other pedestrians.

“Yes.” Luo Feng was contacting the slave merchants.

“Get ready to depart! Yes, wait for me. I’ll meet up with you and then we’ll head to the planetary docking port together.” After speaking, the auxiliary brain on Luo Feng’s arm, controlled by Ba Bata, ended the communication. Then Luo Feng dialed Gao Sheng’s contact code: “It’s me, Luo Feng! Gao Sheng, brother, I’m leaving Qiulong Star now. No need to see me off! I’m heading out of the city.”

“Alright, next time I come to Qiulong Star, I’ll definitely find you.”

“Sure, see you in the Virtual Universe.”

After completing the two calls, Luo Feng quickly made his way to the meeting point with the slave merchants in the Northern District of the city!

…

In a luxurious private room on the sixth floor of a restaurant merely three kilometers from the Northern Gate.

“Mr. Luo Feng, this is our supervisor, the one in charge of business operations here on Qiulong Star,” the sharp-nosed manager respectfully introduced.

Inside the private room stood a slender man with long ears and green hair. Behind him were two bodyguards, both dressed in black uniforms and possessing robust builds.

“Mr. Luo Feng, those two bodyguards are Constant Star Level Nine mentalists. The green-haired man is a Constant Star Level Three mentalist,” Ba Bata’s voice whispered in Luo Feng’s ear.

Luo Feng remained calm.

As the person in charge of Qiulong Star, managing so many slaves, having the strongest guards accompany him before the slaves were sold was only natural.

“Mr. Luo Feng, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wula,” the green-haired man smiled.

“Mr. Wula, it’s a pleasure to meet you. If there’s nothing else, let’s depart immediately,” Luo Feng said directly.

“The customer’s request is our command,” the green-haired man bowed slightly and smiled. “The spaceship is already waiting outside the city.”

Foreign spacecraft entering Qiulong Star must dock at the official port.

However, local residents could park their spacecraft at their own estates, and major slave merchants with deep connections to Qiulong Star had many spaceships and warships docked within the city.

A large spacecraft was parked outside the city.

“Please, Mr. Luo.” The green-haired man was very courteous.

Together with Luo Feng, they entered the spacious lounge of the spacecraft, sitting opposite each other. Immediately, beautiful attendants served a variety of delicacies from across the galaxy.

“Mr. Luo Feng, if I may ask, where are you from originally?” The green-haired man asked curiously.

“Sorry, I’d rather not say,” Luo Feng replied directly.

“Oh, my apologies for prying. Please don’t take offense, Mr. Luo,” the green-haired man quickly apologized. Such a massive order worth 5 billion credits was rare, a stroke of luck. After all, competition among slave merchants was fierce; there were many such businesses. Facing such a generous and high-spending client, he naturally had to treat him with utmost importance.

Slave merchants were cruel and cold-hearted toward slaves.

But toward customers, they were extremely respectful!

“The spaceship has arrived at the planetary docking port!”

A voice echoed inside the ship.

In the lounge, the green-haired man immediately stood up. “Mr. Luo, the spaceship has arrived. Then we shall begin the handover of the slaves now! Since this is the highest level of ownership recognition, from this point on, we slave merchants will no longer be able to control these slaves. Control will be completely transferred to you, Mr. Luo. Therefore, changing the ownership recognition for over a thousand slaves may take a little time.”

“Hmm.” Luo Feng’s heart brimmed with anticipation.

Sixteen Constant Star Level subordinates.

A thousand Stellar Level Nine mentalist subordinates — they were about to be his!
