Wang Yu felt deeply moved.

As a lord, he now somewhat understood the feelings of Humanity's upper echelons, such as the Giant Axe Founder and the Chaos City Lord.

Sometimes, it was not that those at the top were unwilling to nurture people, but that the aptitude of the vast majority simply could not be developed.

For example, the Chaos Tablets were not deliberately kept from ordinary people. Even among the top geniuses who could step across the threshold of the Origin Laws at the Star-level, most found them difficult to comprehend.

Even without restrictions, ordinary people could look at the Chaos Tablets whenever they wished and still fail to gain anything from them.

Wang Yu shook his head slightly and sent a message to his eldest disciple, Tian Shi. Their consciousnesses soon entered the Virtual Universe.

White Dragon Sea Island.

Wang Yu had long since purchased a palace in the Virtual Universe. Once one owned property, it could serve as a fixed login location, and both Wang Yu and Tian Shi appeared inside the palace.

"Greetings, Master!" Tian Shi bowed respectfully.

"Mm." Wang Yu nodded.

"Today, I'll take you to two places. First is the Ganwu Dojo. I have taken up the post of One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept and am responsible for managing the dojo in the Hunyuan Galaxy. As my disciple, you will also join the Ganwu Dojo and train as a student."

"Yes, Master," Tian Shi answered respectfully.

He actually did not know what the Ganwu Dojo was specifically for, nor did he know why he still had to join it after becoming a disciple. But his master's arrangements were surely for his own good. In any case, listening to his master was the right thing to do!

"The second place is the Killing Fields," Wang Yu continued.

"It is an excellent place for honing yourself in real combat. Your realm has improved quickly, but your actual combat experience is still far from sufficient. In the Killing Fields, you can freely fight all kinds of opponents, familiarize yourself with your own strength, and hone your combat techniques."

Tian Shi's eyes lit up.

Combat? He liked that!

Back in the tribe, he had often sparred with others. But since becoming his master's disciple, not much time had passed. He had only focused on cultivating secret techniques and had not fought anyone yet.

The moment combat was mentioned, his interest was piqued!

"Master, can I encounter very powerful opponents in the Killing Fields?" Tian Shi could not help asking.

"Of course." Wang Yu smiled.

"The opponents in the Killing Fields come from across the entire White Dragon Sea Empire. There are all kinds of races, with all manner of strange methods. Many geniuses and experts go to the Killing Fields to hone themselves."

"Your talent is quite good, but you have trained in an advanced inheritance for too short a time. At the Planetary-level, your current strength can only be considered decent. You are nowhere near the top; there are plenty of people stronger than you."

Tian Shi's heart surged with excitement.

There were many geniuses stronger than him?

Since it was combat... fighting formidable opponents was surely what made it interesting!

"Alright, let's go to the Ganwu Dojo first." Wang Yu brought Tian Shi to the palace's teleportation point and teleported away directly.

In reality, instantly traveling a vast distance required either God Country teleportation or teleportation itself.

The weak could only ride universe ships and slowly travel through the Dark Universe.

But in the Virtual Universe, numerous teleportation points had been set up for even ordinary people to use, as long as they paid.

If one was truly wealthy, one could even install a teleportation point in one's own property.

As long as one had money, the Virtual Universe was far more convenient than reality.

Naturally, Wang Yu had installed one in his own palace as well. It cost ten million Universe Coins, but that was merely a small sum.

The two appeared in a small town after teleporting.

As a high-ranking Universe Venerable, the Qian Wu Country Lord could obtain an exclusive plane in the Virtual Universe. He could also open exclusive planes for subordinate organizations such as the Ganwu Dojo.

The place Wang Yu and Tian Shi had arrived at was the Ganwu Dojo's exclusive plane: an island near the Ganwu Continent, on the same scale as a mid-tier subordinate country like the White Dragon Sea Empire.

Wang Yu briefly explained the Ganwu Dojo's background to Tian Shi, then said:

"This place is called Golden Leaf Island. It is the Ganwu Dojo's exclusive plane in the Virtual Universe, and all Ganwu Dojo instructors and students can teleport here."

"However, the Ganwu Universe Country encompasses over a hundred million galaxies. Every galaxy has its own Ganwu Dojo, so it would naturally be impossible for everyone to move about the island in a disorderly manner. Instead, exclusive areas have been divided according to each galaxy's dojo."

"This small town is the area corresponding to the Hunyuan Galaxy Dojo."

"An exclusive plane... over a hundred million galaxies..." Tian Shi listened with a stunned expression.

He still knew very little about the universe. He had only heard that a galaxy contained hundreds of thousands of life-bearing planets, and only now did he learn that the Ganwu Universe Country was so immense!

Hundreds of thousands of life-bearing planets had already left him utterly shocked, yet the Ganwu Universe Country possessed over a hundred million galaxies. It was simply unbelievable!

Wang Yu smiled. "Take it slowly. At first, it will all seem so wondrous that it is hard to believe, but you'll grow accustomed to it in the future."

At the same time, he thought, If you truly are the Tian Shi Palace Master, then your future will be far more impressive than that of a Universe Country Lord.

Universe Country Lords were almost all old Venerables whose potential had been exhausted and whose strength was merely average. When they encountered peak Universe Overlords, every last one of them had to behave with the utmost respect.

Just then, a man with two purple markings on his face hurried out from the small town. Upon seeing Wang Yu, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "Greetings, Qian Wu Adept!"

The man wore the Ganwu Dojo's black training uniform, with an instructor's badge hanging on his chest.

His name was Mu Ai. He was an instructor at the Hunyuan Galaxy Dojo and possessed Ninth-Order Star Level strength.

Ordinary galaxy-level Ganwu Dojos would not have a Qian Wu Adept. They simply recruited Star-level students skilled at teaching, turning them into instructors to manage the dojo.

Originally, Mu Ai had been the highest-ranking instructor here. But now that Wang Yu, a One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept, had arrived, he naturally had to become his subordinate.

Mu Ai held no dissatisfaction over this. Having a Universe-level expert as his superior and being able to rely on a powerful figure was something countless Star-level individuals could only dream of.

"No need for such formality." Wang Yu nodded.

"Thank you, sir!" Only then did Mu Ai straighten up. He glanced at Tian Shi standing beside Wang Yu, and a trace of envy flashed through his eyes.

He knew that this seemingly ordinary youth was actually Wang Yu's personal disciple.

Tian Shi already possessed the status of a Ganwu Dojo student. Wang Yu had previously arranged for him to register.

Mu Ai could not help muttering inwardly. Becoming the disciple of a Universe-level expert meant he would lack neither secret techniques, resources, nor guidance in the future. Should anything happen, he would also have a powerful expert to protect him.

That was truly incomparably enviable!

However, anyone accepted as a disciple by an expert surely possessed terrifying talent. Mu Ai himself did not have such talent and could only watch in envy.

Those thoughts merely flashed through his mind. Mu Ai maintained a warm smile and nodded at Tian Shi as well, counting it as a greeting.

Mu Ai respectfully led the way, guiding Wang Yu and Tian Shi into the small town and all the way to the largest building in its center.

This large building was the dojo, where students attended lessons, cultivated, and sparred. The other buildings in town were for student exchanges and activities, such as restaurants and bars.

The three of them went straight to the second floor of the building. The place was simply yet grandly arranged and was reserved for instructors to work and rest.

Mu Ai respectfully led Wang Yu into a spacious office that had just been prepared. Wang Yu sat in the seat of honor and looked at Mu Ai standing before him. "How is the matter I asked you to handle progressing?"

"Sir, I have already notified everyone according to your instructions," Mu Ai answered respectfully, his tone growing eager.

"All Star-level students, as well as the top hundred Planetary-level students currently ranked in our Hunyuan Galaxy Dojo, have already begun training in the Killing Fields!"

"Everyone is deeply grateful to you, sir! Although the Killing Fields are extremely effective for training, the fees are far too expensive! They simply could not afford them. Only because you paid on their behalf do they have the opportunity to train in the Killing Fields!"

"Now, every student is more enthusiastic about cultivation than ever. They all say they will cultivate diligently and never disappoint your nurturing!"

"Mm, not bad." Wang Yu nodded, his expression turning serious.

"Since I have become the Qian Wu Adept of this Hunyuan Galaxy Dojo, properly managing the dojo and raising the students' overall strength are both my responsibility and my hope."

"This is only the beginning. The number of Killing Fields training slots will continue to increase. In the future, any Planetary-level student who reaches a Force Amplitude of twelve times or a Mind Force Amplitude of ten times may apply for assistance and receive ten days of training in the Killing Fields."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ai's eyes immediately widened, and his heart shook.

A Force Amplitude of twelve times! A Mind Force Amplitude of ten times!

For Planetary-level students, these were not especially high requirements, merely average standards. Many students had already reached them, and even those who had not could achieve them without too much difficulty if they cultivated diligently.

Sir was planning to invest heavily and vigorously nurture the dojo's students!

"Sir, this... this is truly tremendous news!" Mu Ai's voice trembled slightly.

"On behalf of all the students, I thank you, sir! If they learn of this news, they will surely cultivate with all their lives, striving to meet this standard!"

"Mm. Students cultivating diligently and improving their strength are precisely what I hope to see." Wang Yu smiled.
