Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 9 Arrival on Lanka

On Thunderstorm Star, a banquet is currently underway in the magnificent castle hall.

Sitting in the main seat was naturally Hugo, the master of Thunderstorm Star, who resembled a one-horned boy.

Opposite him sat a beautiful woman in red tight-fitting armor with a cold demeanor, and a chubby boy in black with slightly curly short hair.

At this moment, the chubby boy in black, while devouring the delicious food on the table in front of him, was giving Hu Ge indistinct compliments:

"Haha, Nineteenth Brother, you really know how to enjoy life! Roasted meat made from a stellar-level Purple Scale Beast, fine wine brewed from white chalcedony, and Ice Pattern Spirit Fruit from the Jade Spring Galaxy. This whole table must be worth at least a million Eternal Coins!"

"No wonder he's a tycoon who owns an entire high-level resource planet! Haha, this is the life a real man should live!!"

Hu Ge took a sip of the white carnelian wine from his glass and smiled smugly:

"Haha, this is nothing. Stay here a little longer, and I'll give you a whole ninth-tier stellar-level dragon meat to try later!"

The boy in black's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Really? Nineteenth Brother, then it's a deal!"

"You two, shut up!"

The cold-blooded woman in red armor glared at them fiercely upon hearing this, and reprimanded them irritably.
"You don't care about cultivation at all, all you do is eat and drink, especially you, Little Nineteen!"

She glared at Hugo, who was in the main seat.

"Your mother worked so hard to secure ownership of Thunderstorm Star for you, and instead of using its resources to cultivate properly, you're just researching these things? Don't you want to take revenge on those people?"

"Cough cough."

Hu Ge seemed quite afraid of the woman. After being glared at by her, he immediately shrank back and stammered an explanation:
"Thirteenth Sister, isn't it you and Hu Ya who came? I'm not usually like this, and I haven't neglected my cultivation at all. Look, I've already reached the Stellar Level."

"Hmm, in just over half a year, you've progressed from the eighth rank of the planetary level to the first rank of the stellar level. It seems you've indeed put in a lot of effort, but..."

Upon hearing his words, the woman in red armor softened her cold expression slightly, but still sternly rebuked him.

"Your mother went to great lengths to secure Thunderstorm Star for you. You must manage it well and utilize its resources to quickly enhance your strength. You don't want to go through what happened last time again, do you?"

"Understood, Thirteenth Sister, I've remembered everything!"

Hu Ge nodded frantically, quickly changing the subject, "Hehe, Thirteenth Sister, don't worry, I found a batch of good stuff on Bibo Star last time, and now the production on Leibao Star has increased a lot!"

"Moreover, one of the leaders was only at the second level of the Stellar level when he bought it, and in just half a year he has broken through two levels. He can make tens of millions of Eternal Coins by reselling it!"

"Oh? You broke through two levels in half a year?"

The woman in red armor indeed showed interest upon hearing this. "You can buy such a genius in the slave market? How much did you pay?"

"Hehe, that's the price of a normal second-tier stellar-level martial artist!"

Hu Ge smiled smugly, "This group of slaves came from a newly discovered native planet. They hadn't cultivated any decent secret techniques. I just gave them a copy of the 'Nine Luminaries' secret technique, and I never expected it to give me such a big surprise!"

"Yes, you are indeed very lucky."

The woman in red nodded. "Slaves with potential shouldn't be sold off casually. With a little training, they might yield some unexpected surprises."

"Haha, don't worry, Sister Thirteen, I understand!" Hu Ge quickly replied.

"Alright, hurry up and get things settled on Thunderstorm Star. Let's set off as soon as possible. If we're late, who knows what tricks those people might pull!"

Lanka is a prosperous planet ranked among the top 50 in the territory of the Eternal Empire.

As the ancestral home of the Ortega family, this place is inhabited by more than half of the Ortega family's elites.

In the past six months, some of the core members of the race who live on other planets have also begun to return to Lanka.

The Ortega family has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, with countless members. Even just considering the core members, the number is staggering!

For a time, the interstellar docking ports of the entire planet Lanka were overflowing with ships, and some ships belonging to non-direct descendants even had to be parked in space.

The reason why Lanka Star has been so lively recently is because the lord of Lanka Star, the founder of the Ortega family, finally broke through the shackles not long ago and successfully became a world lord powerhouse capable of creating a world!
On Lanca, in the exclusive docking port for direct descendants of the Ortega family.

After disembarking from the spaceship, Hugo and his group walked straight out along the planned passageway of the docking port.

And at this moment——

A spaceship painted with a unique pattern of red and white patterns slowly landed at a berth not far from them.

As the spaceship's hatch opened, a young man wearing dark gold armor, with a dark red horn on his head, and bearing a resemblance to Hugo, flew out first.

Immediately following behind him were about ten stellar-level guards clad in black alloy armor.

"Hey, isn't this Little Hugo?"

The young man's eyes lit up when he saw Hu Ge and his group, and he flew directly to the passage where they were.

The young man stared at the silver-gray spaceship behind Hugo, a cryptic smile playing on his lips:

"Hehe, Little Hugo, you can even afford a C9-class spaceship. Looks like you've made a fortune on Thunderstorm Planet!"

"Well, shouldn't you thank us? After all, we put in a lot of effort to get you to Thunderstorm Star!"

The moment Hugo saw this person, his eyes involuntarily narrowed.

This person is his 'sixth brother' from the same family line, but the two do not have a good relationship.

After all, even ordinary families on Earth often have disagreements, let alone a powerful cultivation family like the Ortega family that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years.

It's not uncommon for brothers to turn against each other in the struggle for resources and profits.

Hu Ge and this "Sixth Brother" had a similar incident that caused quite a stir.

Even Hugo, as a direct descendant of the Ortega family, did not live on Lanka Star, but instead went to a harsh place like Thunderstorm Star, which was also related to this.

Looking at the smug smile on 'Sixth Brother's' face, Hu Ge felt an urge to punch him.

However, considering the current special circumstances, he had to suppress his urge to take action in order to avoid trouble from his elders.

But he's not one to back down verbally!

"Thank you? I thank your mother! *#*!"

"Get out of my way, I hate seeing you!"

He ignored the young man and walked right past him.

The red-armored woman, the chubby boy in black, and Qi Yuan and his group of stellar-level guards who were with him naturally did not linger upon seeing this.

A large group of people stormed off and flew out of the port, breaking through the enemy's ranks.

"This Hugo, he's been driven out of Lanka and he's still so arrogant!"

Watching them leave, the young man in dark gold armor had a constantly changing expression, but in the end, a very cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Hmph, so arrogant! I heard you've broken through to the Stellar level. I hope you can be just as arrogant when you participate in the family trial!"

My new book is launching! I humbly request that all readers add it to their favorites and read it regularly. Thank you so much!
