Seven days later, Lin Yuan first went to collect the S-Rank Bloodline Evolution Agent prepared for him, then arrived at the Teaching Tower for entry-level law perception, preparing to attend the lecture by the Immortal instructor Moke.
Lin Yuan entered the Teaching Tower; the Immortal's classroom was located at the top of the tower. As Lin Yuan flew toward the top, he passed a classroom in the middle, from which faint fluctuations of origin laws emanated. It seemed some instructor was demonstrating a lesson.
Lin Yuan reached the top of the tower and stepped into the classroom, which was already filled with dozens of people, mostly Universe Level students, along with a few Star Level students.
Lin Yuan swept his gaze across the room and saw Cohen sitting in the middle of the front row. Lin Yuan was taken aback, then recalled that the Blood Edge God Weapon was likely forged by fusing the two origin laws of fire and space; naturally, the little fatty would come to attend a lecture on the Law of Fire Origin.
The little fatty also saw Lin Yuan and gestured for him to sit over.
"Lin Yuan, why did you come to listen to the lecture on the Law of Fire Origin too? I remember you saying before that the lower-level law you primarily perceive is the Law of Earth Origin, right? Could it be that you also have a talent for the Law of Fire Origin?"
The little fatty looked puzzled.
"You misunderstood; I just want to see instructor Moke after class to ask for some advice."
Lin Yuan replied.
"You want to see instructor Moke? Oh, I get it, you must want to ask him about axe techniques. Then why don't you go to the Axe Cultivation Tower? Instructor Moke also gives lectures there from time to time."
"I just wanted to see instructor Moke as quickly as possible. Instructor Fenyu told me before that coming here is the fastest way to see him."
"So that's how it is."
"Hey, that works out perfectly. How about we go get a drink at my place after this class?"
"...No, after I ask instructor Moke for advice, I have to go pay a visit to my teacher directly."
Lin Yuan was speechless. How could he have the leisure to go drinking now? He had to participate in the Peak Warrior Tournament in two hundred years, and he hadn't even chosen the cultivation techniques he would practice yet. The little fatty in front of him had already started practicing the second stage of the Blood Edge God Weapon.
Lin Yuan intended to go pay a visit to his teacher, Marquis Yuankun, immediately after asking instructor Moke for advice. Marquis Yuankun had promised Lin Yuan before that after arriving at the Holy Land, he could choose any secret technique he liked, and he would gift it to Lin Yuan directly, but any secret techniques he took a fancy to after that would be up to Lin Yuan himself.
Lin Yuan felt very grateful to his teacher, Marquis Yuankun, for giving him so many things.
Before he transmigrated, Lin Yuan knew that the master-disciple relationship in the Swallowed Star world was extremely solid, even surpassing blood relations, and it seemed that was indeed true.
"Lord Moke is here."
A student whispered.
The students chatting in the classroom stopped, their gazes respectfully fixed on the figure who had suddenly appeared at the front of the room.
The figure was burly with fiery red hair, wearing dark red Battle Armor, and his expression was stern; he looked very strict. This figure was none other than the Holy Land instructor, the Immortal Military Lord Moke.
Instructor Moke scanned the room and spoke indifferently:
"There are 107 students here today, fewer than usual."
"Alright, let's begin. Today, we will explain the shallow understanding of the Law of Fire Origin."
Instructor Moke did not waste any words and went straight to the point.
"What is 'fire'? Is it a burning star? Is it an erupting volcano? Is it the energy of the Law of Fire Origin released from your palms? It is, but it is also not."
"The 'fire' I just mentioned is only the appearance of fire, the form in which fire exists in the universe; it is only the most insignificant, superficial understanding of 'fire'."
"True 'fire' is one of the laws of the universe's operation; it is the application of the essence of 'fire'."
Instructor Moke extended his right hand, and a ball of flame ignited on his palm.
"From this ball of fire, what do you see?"
"Energy release? Molecular fission and recombination? No, what you must see is a deeper essence and mystery."
"Like other lower-level origin laws, the Law of Fire Origin has 108 most basic mysteries. All applications of the Law of Fire Origin are combinations and applications of these 108 mysteries. All the complex combinations of these 108 mysteries together constitute the entire vast Law of Fire Origin."
Instructor Moke looked at the students below and continued:
"Most of your current levels have just crossed the threshold, having perceived one of these 108 mysteries, and perhaps not even completely."
"Some of these 108 mysteries are difficult, and some are simple, but what you must do now is to comprehend each of these 108 mysteries clearly. Only then can you be considered to have officially embarked on the path of the Law of Fire Origin, and only then will you be qualified to listen to courses at the Low-Level Law Perception Level."
"In this lesson, I will first demonstrate the simplest of the 108 essences to you one by one. This is already the lowest difficulty; you must master them as soon as possible."
Having said that, instructor Moke began to demonstrate at the front, explaining as he demonstrated. His explanation was extremely detailed, one could say he was chewing the food and feeding it into the students' mouths.
Lin Yuan watched instructor Moke's explanation as if he were being enlightened. Lin Yuan now possessed extremely high talent for the Law of Fire Origin, which made him comprehend very quickly as he watched these demonstrations. As he watched, Lin Yuan became immersed in it.
"Hey! Hey!"
The little fatty Cohen whispered to him from beside Lin Yuan.
However, Lin Yuan seemed not to hear the little fatty at all; he did not pay him any mind, staring straight at instructor Moke's demonstration.
"And you said you didn't understand the Law of Fire Origin; you're already mesmerized by it."
The little fatty decided to listen to the lecture carefully first, watch the instructor's demonstration, and ask Lin Yuan for a clear explanation later.
"Alright, let's end this lesson here. I have already demonstrated and explained all the simplest essences to you; you must comprehend them well."
"Two months from now, I will continue to explain some more difficult mysteries of the Law of Fire Origin."
Instructor Moke said he was about to leave.
"Lord Instructor!"
Lin Yuan hurried forward, came before instructor Moke, bowed his waist, and performed a solemn salute.
"What is it?"
Moke spoke, his tone indifferent.
"Master, I wish to ask you some questions regarding my cultivation."
Lin Yuan remained in a bowing posture as he spoke.
"Is it about the Law of Fire Origin? Ask away."
"Master, what I wish to ask you about concerns axe techniques."
"Axe techniques?"
Upon hearing Lin Yuan's answer, the expression on Moke's face immediately turned stern.
"Hmph, you come to listen to my lecture on the Law of Fire Origin, yet you ask me about axe techniques? Have you already mastered all the essences of the Law of Fire Origin that I just explained?"
Moke's tone was displeased.
"If you had mastered them all, I might answer your questions about axe techniques. But if you haven't..."
Moke did not believe for a second that this little Universe Level fellow could have mastered those profound demonstrations after watching them just once, nor did he wish to waste any more breath, so he turned to leave.
"Master, please wait! My teacher is Marquis Yuankun!"
Moke's movements came to a halt, and he slowly turned back around.
