War God Star.

At a Preaching Ground, Instructor Yoda was explaining how to comprehend Artistic Conception.

Although each person comprehended a different Artistic Conception, the methods of comprehending it were largely similar.

Instructor Yoda's clan members and personal disciples had produced a total of five Universe-level warriors. His teaching experience was incomparably rich, and he was truly skilled at teaching.

There were many strong people in the universe, but being powerful oneself did not mean one knew how to teach and nurture the next generation.

Being skilled at teaching was a rare and highly important ability. With a renowned teacher's guidance, the number of strong warriors cultivated could increase tenfold!

At the Preaching Ground, a hundred citizens listened with rapt attention.

These were a hundred carefully selected geniuses, including both Planetary-level and Star-level warriors.

Generally speaking, a Planetary-level warrior who comprehended Artistic Conception, or a Star-level warrior who possessed a domain, could be considered a genius.

But that was actually a rather high standard, usually adopted only by major powers with at least a World Lord overseeing them.

Wang Yu's current planetary territory and the Ganwu Dojo's standards...

Setting aside Tian Shi and Yoda's families, a Planetary-level warrior who had initially touched the threshold of Artistic Conception, or a Star-level warrior who had comprehended Artistic Conception, would already count among his finest subordinates.

There was no helping it. This was a tiny backwater; ten thousand life-bearing planets were far from much of a domain in the universe.

"Still, it's good that I have the system. As long as I throw enough money at it, anything can be worked out," Wang Yu thought as he watched from afar.

"That will be all for today. Go back and properly reflect on what I taught."

"Yes! Thank you for your guidance, Instructor!"

The hundred citizens respectfully bowed, then gradually departed.

Wang Yu revealed himself, walked over, and smiled. "Instructor, you've worked hard."

"I merely shared some experience with a group of youngsters. What hardship is there?" Yoda replied with a smile, before a puzzled look appeared on his face.

"Still, these youngsters have been improving quite quickly—so quickly that even I'm surprised..."

"Could they have been talented people buried by their former environment? But..."

Instructor Yoda frowned slightly in thought.

In his view, those youngsters were improving at a rate comparable to the geniuses of major powers.

Yet saying they had truly been geniuses suppressed by their former environment did not quite seem right either.

Judging from their usual cultivation, their talent and comprehension were clearly only average—decent enough, but nothing exceptional.

Yet for some reason, they understood the content of his lectures and instruction exceptionally well.

He had taught at the Ganwu Dojo for many years, seen countless students, and possessed extremely rich experience. With only a little observation, he could judge whether a student was a genius and roughly assess their talent and comprehension.

They were clearly all of average caliber, yet they improved at astonishing speed.

That was obviously rather unusual, but he could not figure out why this was happening.

"Could it be that my teaching ability has grown even better?" Instructor Yoda wondered inwardly.

If the problem was not with the students, then it could only lie with him.

It seemed his teaching ability had improved so much that even students of ordinary talent could advance at lightning speed!

Naturally, Wang Yu knew the reason.

It was all thanks to the Preaching Ground's tenfold lecture and instruction effect!

This could more or less be regarded as those citizens' comprehension increasing tenfold!

Even if they were merely average to begin with, with an effect increased tenfold, they could catch up to the standards of geniuses from major powers!

However, only he needed to know about such a heaven-defying effect from the system. As long as everyone else enjoyed its benefits, there was no need for them to know so much.

"Instructor, among these students, Ji Qiyue is still the best performer?" Wang Yu asked with a smile.

"Yes, it's still Qiyue." Instructor Yoda nodded, a trace of approval in his eyes.

"Qiyue is indeed a good prospect. Over the past half year, she has improved faster than any other student."

"Among the other Planetary-level students, even the best have merely begun to touch the threshold of Artistic Conception. But she comprehended Artistic Conception a few days ago, and her Mind Force Amplitude has reached eighteen times. Given her original foundation, her progress has truly been astonishing."

"A Planetary-level warrior who comprehends Artistic Conception can obtain the status of a third-class elite at the Ganwu Dojo and receive focused cultivation."

"Moreover, she is a Controller, and her temperament is quite good. Though she can be somewhat impulsive and reckless, she possesses a strong sense of justice and clearly distinguishes gratitude from grudges..."

"Among all the students, she is the one most worth cultivating."

Instructor Yoda knew that Wang Yu intended to select truly promising talents and invest more resources into cultivating them. Ji Qiyue had indeed performed the best among the students, and her temperament was particularly admirable, so Yoda offered Wang Yu several extra words of praise.

Wang Yu nodded lightly.

Ji Qiyue was a Planetary-level Fourth Order warrior and one of the original students of the Hunyuan Galaxy Dojo, not a native or a slave.

She had previously ranked among the best at the dojo, but that was only within a small place like the Hunyuan Galaxy Dojo.

A Planetary-level warrior who comprehended Artistic Conception could become a third-class elite at the Ganwu Dojo, while she had originally only barely touched its threshold. There had actually been quite a gap remaining.

However, after listening to Instructor Yoda's lectures and instruction, enhanced tenfold in effect, she had truly comprehended Artistic Conception within half a year.

Moreover, she was a spirit reader Controller, and her Mind Force Amplitude was not bad either.

Even in cosmic civilization, spirit readers were far rarer than martial artists. In lower-level combat, spirit readers held a major advantage over martial artists, and it was generally accepted that a spirit reader was worth three times as much as a martial artist.

Spirit readers had many professions: Controllers, Illusionists, Puppet Masters, Beast Tamers, Pharmacists, and more.

Controllers were a profession that fought by controlling mind-force weapons. Along with Illusionists, they were the two most common and representative professions among spirit readers.

Even if her talent was somewhat ordinary, it could be fully compensated for with the system's power. Ji Qiyue's temperament was also quite good, and that was even more important than talent. She was indeed worth cultivating.

Inside the palace.

Wang Yu sat upon his throne, while below stood his disciple Tian Shi and Ji Qiyue, who had been summoned for an audience for the first time.

Ji Qiyue stood in the palace with a hint of nervousness on her face, but even more curiosity.

She was not tall, about 1.6 meters, with a petite figure. She wore the Ganwu Dojo student uniform, had a round face and large eyes, and looked like an adorable young girl.

Yet she stood perfectly straight, her gaze openly surveying her surroundings. Clearly, she was not the timid sort of little girl.

Tian Shi also studied her curiously, wondering why his teacher had summoned this female student together with him.

"Ji Qiyue," Wang Yu said.

"Lord." Ji Qiyue hurriedly bowed.

"This Lord has observed your performance." Wang Yu looked at her.

"Among the hundred selected students, you have improved the fastest and performed the most outstandingly. Instructor Yoda has also praised you highly."

When Ji Qiyue heard the lord praise her, her eyes brightened slightly, though she still stood properly.

"Therefore, this Lord has decided to accept you as a registered disciple," Wang Yu said calmly.

"Accept... accept me as a registered disciple?" Ji Qiyue froze.

Her large eyes widened round, her lips parted slightly, and her face was filled with shock!

Tian Shi also revealed a surprised expression.

Although he had vaguely guessed as much, he was still somewhat surprised to hear his teacher accept this woman as a registered disciple.

A registered disciple?

Would that make her my junior sister?

I'm going to become a senior brother?

"Are you willing to take me as your master?" Wang Yu looked calmly at Ji Qiyue.

Only then did Ji Qiyue come to her senses. She took a deep breath and hurriedly knelt to bow.

"I am willing! This disciple is willing! This disciple, Ji Qiyue, greets Master!"

Tian Shi watched from the side, feeling happy for her as well.

His teacher had accepted another disciple, giving him a junior sister. This was truly wonderful news!

"Good! From today onward, you are my registered disciple!" Wang Yu nodded lightly.

"Rise."

"Yes, Master!" Only then did Ji Qiyue stand, her expression still incomparably excited. She had actually been accepted as a disciple by the lord!

"This is my eldest disciple, and thus your senior brother, Tian Shi." Wang Yu pointed at Tian Shi beside him.

"Ji Qiyue greets Senior Brother Tian Shi!" Ji Qiyue hurriedly bowed.

"You're too polite, Junior Sister." Tian Shi hurriedly returned the gesture.

"Your senior brother was born a native of this planet. His resources and circumstances were poor at the time, yet while still at Apprentice Grade and without cultivating any profound inheritance, he achieved a Force Amplitude of ten times and touched the threshold of Artistic Conception," Wang Yu continued.

"I only gave him guidance once, and he comprehended Artistic Conception on the spot."

"Therefore, he was directly able to become my personal disciple."
