After handing out the rewards, the Star Torch Sovereign, Noah Sovereign, and the many Eternal Gods departed.
Only Lu Wen remained.
"Jingming."
Lu Wen looked at Xu Jingming with pride filling his eyes. "I'm very proud that you were able to win the Genius Battle this time.
"The Eternal Star Alliance is different from the Noah Empire. The Eternal Tier experts there are generally far stronger than us.
"Still, you're new there. Once you arrive at Star Dome Academy, remember to keep a low profile first."
"Don't worry, Teacher. I understand." Xu Jingming nodded solemnly.
"Mm."
Lu Wen took out an ancient-looking manual from his Space Ring. The words "Thunder Punishment Heavenly Prison" were written across its cover in bold, sweeping strokes. "This is the T4 Level combat skill I created, Thunder Punishment Heavenly Prison. Those at the Star Tier can learn it.
"You're currently at the peak of Starlight Peak, only one final step away from the Star Tier, so I'm giving you this manual in advance.

Xu Jingming accepted the manual. With a sweep of his Mental Strength, he immediately sensed the many profound secrets contained within.

Lu Wen smiled and waved his hand. "We're master and disciple. There's no need to be so formal.
"Alright, I still need to return to the holy land to handle some matters, so I won't stay any longer.
"Remember, if you encounter any trouble at Star Dome Academy, you can contact me and I'll handle it."
With that, Lu Wen's figure turned into a streak of lightning and shot into the sky.
"I didn't expect to leave my teacher so soon this time."
