Chapter 365: Expansion

"Please help me decline. You can convey to Professor Einstein that I am very grateful for his regard—"

Li Mochen weighed the matter for a while, then shook his head.

Someone like Bethel Einstein was undoubtedly qualified to be his teacher.

The rumored Storm God Camete had a status close to that of an intermediate deity. Yet Einstein defeated this man in only half a day.

Although this relied heavily on the power of the Magic Goddess, just as Anthony killed a demigod at level fifteen, if Einstein's understanding of divine authority had not surpassed Camete's, he could not have accomplished this.

Li Mochen guessed that this man's attainments in magic had likely reached the level of 'True Immortal' in the Primordial Vault Realm, surpassing him by more than one level.

However, the thought of seeking another teacher outside his own lineage made Li Mochen resist from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, as the 'Divine Thunder Supreme Void Purple Immortal King' of the Primordial Vault Realm, he still had some pride. By studying on his own, he would eventually comprehend the Great Dao and trace its origins. With the 'Divine Thunder Spirit Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda' by his side, it was only a matter of time.

Anthony was quite surprised by this. He looked at Li Mochen with great astonishment, then shook his head: "There's no need to decide so quickly, A Mo. I advise you to think it over more. Professor Einstein has only a little over a hundred years of life left, so his greatest wish now is to create an artifact worthy of being passed down through generations, to engrave his name on this world. For him to take an interest in teaching you at this juncture is nothing short of a miracle, very rare. It's because he believes you can inherit his knowledge, his mysteries, his truth."

Anthony paused slightly: "A Mo, I can feel that your ambitions are great. Your personality is very similar to my father's. So this is a rare opportunity for you. Professor Einstein has immense influence within the Church of the Magic Goddess and the New Continent Magic Association. Fifteen of his disciples have become legends. And below the legendary level, there are a few like me. A Mo, this is not a shortcut, but it can reduce many obstacles in your future."

Li Mochen truly did not intend to take another teacher, but when he heard that this demigod mage had only a hundred years of life left, he was slightly moved.

He fell into thought again but still couldn't make a decision, so he could only smile bitterly: "Then let me consider it. May I ask if there is a time limit?"

"You can give him an answer before the next grade, which is also Stanford's admissions season."

Anthony did not continue to persuade. He spread his hands: "It's truly unbelievable. In America, anyone below the legendary level who receives an admission invitation from Bethel Einstein would be jumping for joy."

Li Mochen could only respond with a bitter smile. He had the inheritance of the Divine Thunder Sect and truly did not want to incur the karma of a master-disciple relationship beyond that. Although he knew that Westerners did not regard such relationships as seriously as Easterners did.

...

This matter Anthony mentioned slightly disturbed Li Mochen's state of mind. However, he was troubled by it for less than half an hour before he decisively set aside Bethel Einstein's admission invitation and continued to focus on his own cultivation.

Li Mochen was continuously absorbing the residual power of the 'Tears of Amphitrite' while using the 'Zhou Tian Xuan Ling Thunder Qi Mantra' and some specialized equipment to constantly temper his physical body.

The main purpose was to increase his coordination and control over his limbs, the flesh and blood within his body, and even every cell.

Although he had solved this problem through the strengthening and repair of his soul, if his divine soul were to be severely damaged again one day, he would still face the predicament of his body and consciousness becoming disconnected.

Therefore, training in this area was still indispensable.

In addition, Li Mochen had been winning consecutive victories in the state individual competition, winning every match up to the round of sixteen within a hundred rounds.

A week after the NHSAA team competition began, Carl Holton and three legendary mages came to visit together.

They kept their promise, bringing not only a level 24 Iron Claw Behemoth Lord but also the Staff of Silence.

The permanent enchantment was conducted a hundred kilometers outside Atlanta. The Nathan Sports Group and the three legendary mages had prepared a dedicated venue and a large-scale magic array for him.

There was no choice, as the anti-magic field of the magic tower array still covered the city, only slightly reducing its intensity.

The Magic Tower Committee was unusually stubborn, preferring to bear a daily loss of over five hundred million gold shields rather than compromise with the Fenrir the Demon Wolf.

The latter, of course, had no intention of stopping. Three days ago, two clothing stores of the Van Bitter family exploded, killing and injuring over twenty people. That same night, two close members of the Lyndon family were also assassinated by this man, infuriating Louise Lyndon.

This mad demon wolf was now not only unscrupulous but had also expanded his scope of attack, targeting all members of the Magic Tower Committee.

Yet these families with demigod-level power were still helpless against Fenrir the Demon Wolf. At present, the bounty for Fenrir at the Red Sparrow Club had reached 1.5 billion gold shields.

This attracted a large number of legendary-level magic hunters to Atlanta. But surprisingly, even these legendary experts skilled in tracking and sensing could not find any trace of Fenrir.

Thus, rumors spread that Fenrir the Demon Wolf might possess more than just a key component of 'Dragon's Might.' He might also have a 'divine artifact' capable of concealing his aura and helping him escape from the encirclement of many legends. This further stirred up the already chaotic situation in Atlanta.

However, Li Mochen's Sunrise Electric Retail Company also benefited from this. On the day Carl came to him with the legendary mages, the number of Sunrise stores in Atlanta had reached ninety-seven, fully covering the entire city.

At this point, their daily revenue in this city alone was close to two hundred million gold shields. Due to the lack of competitors, Sunrise's net profit had increased instead of decreasing, reaching 11%. It was truly a goldmine, bringing in over twenty million gold shields a day.

This was all thanks to the two recent storms—the madness of Fenrir the Demon Wolf and the kidnapping case of the heteromorphs—which had caused many conglomerates in Atlanta to abandon their plans to enter the electrical retail industry.

Even the Van Bitter Group, which had previously acquired seventeen stores, had given up on their earlier plans. They were now sending people to negotiate with Sunrise Electric, preparing to transfer their stores at cost price.

But this also brought inconvenience. The permanent enchantment ceremony prepared by the Nathan Group had to be held in the suburbs a hundred kilometers away to avoid interference from the anti-magic field.
