Chapter 4: Light and Darkness

Not long ago, the old man sensed a powerful fluctuation of the Force.

This fluctuation was far too strong.

He had never felt such a powerful fluctuation of the Force, not even from Master Yoda of the Jedi Order back in the day.

So he followed the fluctuation and tracked it down, only to see Wang Bo.

A being whose life force was nearly explosive; he could clearly feel from the other's body just how vigorous his life force was.

It was as dazzling as the sun in the sky. Was such a creature really human?

So he couldn't help but ask.

Wang Bo said calmly, "Of course I'm human, a pure human."

But the old man named Ben shook his head. "The humans I know definitely don't have such a powerful life force as yours. You are definitely not human."

"Then what do you think I am?" Wang Bo asked with a smile, not expecting the old man's intuition to be quite accurate.

Injustice Superman was indeed not a pure human.

But another race, a Kryptonian.

"I don't know. I've never seen a life form as powerful as you." The old man had traveled far and wide in his youth and had once been illustrious, considered well-traveled and knowledgeable.

But seeing Wang Bo today, he felt he was far from being truly knowledgeable.

Wang Bo asked, "You are a Jedi."

The old man nodded.

Wang Bo asked with a smile, "Then can you teach me the Force?"

The old man hesitated. He had never seen anyone like Wang Bo; a being with such a powerful life force, if he trained in the Force, would surely progress a thousand miles in a day.

Perhaps he would become the most powerful Jedi in history.

If it were his younger days, he would have agreed without hesitation, because in his eyes, this young man was an excellent prospect.

But now, he hesitated.

He had once seen a gifted individual and became his teacher, but that person gradually went astray and became the current Sith Lord, Darth Vader.

So he wasn't sure if he should teach the methods of the Force to this young man before him.

Would this young man stand on the side of justice, or would he go astray?

If he stood on the side of justice, then the Jedi might have a chance to see the light of day again.

If he went astray, he would become an even more terrifying existence than the Sith Lord, and then the galaxy would truly have no hope at all.

So the old man was extremely conflicted.

Seeing his expression, Wang Bo knew the old man was unwilling to teach him the methods of the Force. He smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.

This world didn't have only one Jedi. Since he was unwilling, Wang Bo would find someone willing to teach him.

For example, the Sith Lord of the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader. He should be willing to teach him the methods of the Force.

If he wasn't willing, Wang Bo could beat him until he was willing.

With someone like that, a bad guy, Wang Bo could act with a clear conscience.

"Wait." But just as Wang Bo was about to leave, the old man finally spoke up to stop him.

Wang Bo stopped and turned to look at him.

The old man said, "Do you really want to learn the Force and become a Jedi?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "I am very interested in the Force."

The old man said seriously, "My name is Ben Kenobi, also known as Obi-Wan Kenobi. I was once a member of the Jedi Order, and now I am a wanted criminal of the Galactic Empire. If you want to learn the Force from me, you will inevitably be regarded as a rebel by the Galactic Empire and become their target of pursuit. Even so, are you willing to become my apprentice?"

The reason he changed his mind was mainly because he had just thought of a possibility.

This young man's life force was so powerful that he could be considered a genius in learning the Force.

If the Empire discovered him and managed to recruit him into the Galactic Empire, wouldn't that give birth to another Jedi even more terrifying than Darth Vader?

At that time, they would truly have no hope.

Of course, he could also kill this young man and be done with it.

But he couldn't bring himself to do such an evil deed. In the end, he decided to take a gamble. If he won the bet, they would have a chance to turn things around.

Obi-Wan Kenobi?

Wang Bo thought for a moment and confirmed he had never heard the name. He guessed that this person was likely a character from the original trilogy or the prequels.

Of course, he could also be an unknown extra.

After all, when the Jedi Order was at its peak, there were indeed many Jedi.

Not every Jedi would appear in the plot. But no matter who he was, as long as he was willing to teach him the methods of the Force, Wang Bo was willing to become his apprentice.

"I am willing." Wang Bo nodded and said seriously, "No matter what dangers I may face in the future, I am willing."

Obi-Wan nodded and said slowly, "From today on, you are my apprentice. I hope the decision I made is right."

Wang Bo said slowly, "I believe your decision won't be wrong."

Obi-Wan said, "I hope so."

Although the old man had been hesitant before taking on an apprentice, once he did, he was quite decisive. He took Wang Bo away from the city, returned to his humble dwelling, and began teaching Wang Bo how to train in the Force.

To master the Force, the first threshold was to perceive the Force.

The Force is everywhere, manifesting in almost all life, but only a small portion can perceive its existence, and these people are called Force-sensitive.

Although Wang Bo was not Force-sensitive, his spiritual power was too immense. Under Obi-Wan's teaching, it took only one day for him to sense the ubiquitous Force in the universe.

After perceiving the Force, Obi-Wan told Wang Bo,

"Although the Force is everywhere in the universe, it is also divided into two aspects. One is the light side of the Force, which is the bright side of the universe, embodying positive elements like justice, benevolence, and healing."

"The other is the dark side of the Force, representing negative elements like fear, anger, hatred, and malice. I once had a very outstanding apprentice, but he went astray, step by step seduced by the dark side, ultimately betraying the light and surrendering to the bottomless darkness."

"Before I teach you the Force, I hope you can remember: never be seduced by the dark side. Adhere to justice and the light. Otherwise, you will be doomed. If that day comes, I will execute you with my own hands."

Wang Bo nodded and agreed.

Although he didn't think the old man could beat him.
