In the courtyard of an exquisitely decorated villa, Jiang Ming lay lazily on a recliner, basking in the sun.
Three days had passed since his battle with the Demon Lizard King.
Hong still needed some time to deal with the spaceship, and Jiang Ming could not rush things now.
After thinking it over, he had nowhere else to go for the time being, so he simply returned to the Elite Training Camp.
However, unlike more than a month ago, when he had been a student at the training camp—
He was now a Teacher.
"By now, Luo Feng should be about to join the Elite Training Camp too, right? I wonder if I'll run into him."
Jiang Ming thought to himself.
One reason he had returned to the Elite Training Camp was to recuperate; another was to see Luo Feng.
Although he probably no longer needed to cling to anyone powerful, having another friend meant having another path.
He had no conflict of interest with Luo Feng, and he knew Luo Feng's future potential was limitless. It was only natural to make an acquaintance.
"I hope he comes soon. If Hong gets the spaceship ready first, I'll be leaving Earth."
Jiang Ming could not be bothered to inquire about Luo Feng's whereabouts. If they met now, he would probably just offer Luo Feng some guidance. If they did not, there would be opportunities to meet in the future.
Closing his eyes as though dozing, Jiang Ming sank his consciousness into his body.
The Miniature Planet within Jiang Ming had recovered considerably. Most of the tiny cracks had healed, leaving only two relatively large fissures.
Above the Miniature Planet burned a gorgeous flame. Jiang Ming observed the flame representing his Fire God clone, hoping to comprehend some of the true essence of fire from it.
Still nothing.
After a long while, Jiang Ming opened his eyes helplessly. For his current self—
The flame nurturing the Fire God clone was still on far too high a level.
His attempts at comprehension were nearly all futile.
"Forget it. I never expected to comprehend the laws before it was born anyway."
Jiang Ming cast his troubles aside, grabbed a saber from the weapon rack, and began swinging it.
There were simply too few secret techniques to be found on Earth. Jiang Ming could barely find any useful methods for exerting force.
The Nine-Layered Thunder Blade was already the most suitable secret technique he could currently find.
He swung his saber again. Nine layers of hidden force arose within his body, amplifying Jiang Ming's physical power sevenfold.
"Perfected."
Jiang Ming sensed it and thought to himself.
Jiang Ming's physical talent was now among the most exceptional across the entire human territory of the Primeval Universe.
Take note!
This was not a comparison limited to Earth, but to the entire human race of the Primeval Universe.
A Gene level of thirty-three times was an utterly terrifying existence even among Immortals. Before reaching the Immortal level, it was simply inconceivable.
With such a Gene level, Jiang Ming could lie down and never cultivate, yet naturally coast all the way to become a Realm Lord.
High talent was simply unreasonable.
"Boring. I'll go for a walk."
Jiang Ming said somewhat boredly.
The Miniature Planet was still injured. Otherwise, he would have gone into the deep sea to test his skills against those two Beast Emperors.
"What's that?"
Luo Feng, who was following Yang Hui as Heng Xia familiarized himself with the Elite Training Camp, noticed dozens of young men and women of various ethnicities gathered around an enormous skull.
Following Luo Feng's gaze, Yang Hui saw the massive white skull, and his expression immediately changed.
"Do you know how long the fastest person to become a War God took to break through from warrior to War God?"
An indescribable look filled Yang Hui's eyes as he asked Luo Feng.
Luo Feng thought for a moment. Finding that he had no information on the matter, he guessed.
"Three years?"
"Guess again."
"Two years?"
"Guess again."
"One year?"
"Still wrong."
Yang Hui stared blankly at the white skull as he spoke.
"Two months! He became a War God two months after breaking through to warrior level!"
"What!" x2
Hearing Yang Hui's words, Luo Feng and Heng Xia were so shocked that they could hardly believe their ears.
A War God in two months?
Was this some kind of joke?
Luo Feng repeatedly scrutinized Yang Hui's face, trying to see whether he was telling a deadpan joke.
"I couldn't believe it either, but it really happened.
He became a Warlord in one month, a War God in another month, and surpassed the War God level in yet another month."
Yang Hui fully understood Luo Feng and Heng Xia's shock. Even now, he still doubted whether it was real.
Even though the information had been released by the War God Palace and could not possibly be wrong.
He still found it difficult to believe.
Even with the Demon Lizard King's skull right before his eyes.
"Th-this... is that even possible?"
Heng Xia said in disbelief.
"You see that skull? It belongs to the king-level monster he killed when he broke through to the level beyond War God—the Demon Lizard King."
Yang Hui pointed at the white skull.
"Who exactly was that person?"
Luo Feng's curiosity had reached its peak. He felt as though he were listening to a myth.
War Gods were beings as mighty as gods. Their strength could reach at least sixty-four tons, and their speed could approach the speed of sound.
A high-level War God could wield two hundred and fifty-six tons of strength and move at nearly twice the speed of sound.
Yet that person had not only broken through to become a War God within two months, but surpassed the War God level in three months!
Shouldn't someone like that exist only in mythological tales?
"His name is Jiang Ming."
After saying that, Yang Hui pointed to the Demon Lizard King's skull.
"Councillor Jiang Ming is currently a teacher at the Elite Training Camp, but he does not teach anyone. There is only one way to become his disciple.
That is to walk up to the Demon Lizard King's skull."
"There's actually someone like that serving as a Teacher at the Elite Training Camp?"
Heng Xia felt that his worldview had been overturned. Outside, War Gods were all figures revered by countless people. It was one thing for them to be nothing special at the Elite Training Camp, but there were even beings beyond War God here!
"How could that be? It's only because Councillor Jiang Ming wants it that way.
Don't you see all those people crowded over there? Who in the entire Elite Training Camp does not want to become Councillor Jiang Ming's disciple now?
They say Councillor Jiang Ming cultivates the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade."
Yang Hui spoke with some envy.
A figure like Jiang Ming was an absolute legend. Being able to become his disciple, even merely one of the training camp's instructed disciples, was an extremely rare opportunity.
"Do I only need to walk up to the Demon Lizard King's skull?"
Luo Feng's heart also surged with excitement. A being beyond the War God level—
If such a Teacher gave him guidance, Luo Feng would surely gain something in his cultivation of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.
"You'll know if you try."
Yang Hui knew what Luo Feng was thinking and immediately led Luo Feng and Heng Xia over.
As soon as he approached, Luo Feng felt an incomparably scorching aura. At the same time, a fierce and domineering pressure from the Demon Lizard King's skull bore down on him.
At that moment, Luo Feng had the feeling that the skull was alive.
Overwhelmed by that aura, drops of cold sweat began rolling down Luo Feng's forehead, soaking his clothes.
"You're still too weak. Don't get too close."
A voice came from behind Luo Feng. He felt someone pull him back, making him retreat some distance.
"Phew, thank you."
Luo Feng recovered from the state of intimidation and cupped his fists toward the person who had helped him in thanks.
"No need to thank me. You can try using your own will to overcome it. It is already dead, so its aura will grow weaker by the day, while you will grow stronger by the day."
The person offered Luo Feng some advice.
Luo Feng fell into thought. After pondering it, he felt the person's words made sense. Just as he raised his head to thank him, he found that the person had already vanished.
"Where did that person go?"
Hearing Luo Feng's question, Yang Hui stared at him as though he had seen a ghost.
"Do you know who was speaking to you just now?"
"You lucky brat! That was Councillor Jiang Ming!"
